MAIL MArrERs.-Sidney Clarke has
written sharp letter to Postmaster Gen.
eral Dsnnison. regarding mail matters in
Kansas. 1t is high time some one we're
taking action in the premises. There
must be gross mismsnsgement some
where. The Leavenworth Dsilies usual
ly reach rs in seven days after publics-
tion. Five days is their quickest time
Atcbison Dsilies generally come in five
days; in rare instances, in three days
But 1t is only on alternate days that we
receive any Kansas mail matter below
St. Joseph. Now, if there is . daily
msil between Leavenworth, Atchisou
and st. Joseph. as we suppose there is.
there is no good reason why the same
mail should not bring Us Lesvenworth
and Atchison Dailies of the same date !;
and they should always rssch us the day
following their publication, and should
come every day.
Something hits us! Look here. John
A. Martin Just ask the man who runs
your Post Office, whether there is not .
sort of one-borse OF mud-turtle mail that
goes once in two or three days from At.
Gibson to Doniphan and Wathens and
whether be does not tumble all our mail
into that sack. instead of sending it
around by st. Joseph? II so. it is an
necessary to look farther for the trouble.
We see it stated that Ingersoll, Spe
cial Mail Agent, is now in Kansas,
Strengthening matters. We are sorry to
hear it. Ingersoll is little nuisance,
that should have been sbated long ago..
He comes around about once Q year, al
ways in great splutter, talks knowing
ly. makes copious memoranda, and tells
Whist important reforms he is going to
have made. That's the last of it, ex-
cept that mail matters at once take q
fresh start at getting worse. Thank you,
we won't take any Ingersoll in ours-not
any. g %'1

.4.nx-Mitcheir.Arrest..

The arrest Of John Mitchell has already
been noticed in our columns. The New
York Tribune says he has been taken to
Fortress Monroe to await trial.
The order was executed by two mem.
bers Of Gen. Dix's staff, accompanied by
officers Elder and Davoe, of the detective
SQUAD The officers. upon entering The
Meas pfice. inquired for Mr.. Mitchell,
vbo responded in person. and wished to
know wha, they wanted Of Thin. A war.
rant iof arrest was the production. d
which Mr. Mitchell did not seem to be al
all s,tonished. He expressed his readi-
ness to- accompany the officers. and was
at once placed in q carriage. and rapidly
driven of. Mitchell was perfectely silent
Sor. come moments after the carriage com.
menced moving. He presently broke the
silence BY saying to Capt. -Callaban. one
of the officers accompanying him-so
goes the rumor Of the street:
"Captain. from your name. l take you
to be an Irishmsp?" '~
Captain C.-"You are right, sir, / am
and Irishman."
! Mr.. Mitchell. .-"Of course you know
me to be one also; how can you find il in
yocr heart to arrest one of your fellow
couotrymen?" a's .'''
Capt. Cd am now an American;
you are no more my fellow country man
than anybody else; only know that we
have orders to arrest yon." q
Mr.. M.-"For whst?" 4 "a
Capt. CT don't know-fpr trea-
son. perhaps."
Mr.. M.-"But I am not traitor. The
South are fairly thrashed. and I follow
the time-I am no longer traitor. bnt
peaceful, loyal man."
Capt. G.. with emphasis )-"Mr.
Mitchell, l have no time to handy words.
You are an 1rishman, l am ashamed to
say. You pretended to flee from the op-
preston of the Old World to the free:
dom of the New; yet almot your first act
in your new found liberty. was to declare
your self in favor Of a new species of hu-
man bondage, the meanest and most in
famous recorded in history. In that carse
you toiled with brain and Drawn for FIVE
years. and you now hrve the sublime i'm
pudeuce to come here. in New York, and
establish yourself at the head OF ,hs most
ultra Copperhead sheet in the city. l
can only say that. as general thing,
your countrymen abhor and daspise yon.
and that may own contempt for you is
so great that can find no language to
further express my feelings"
Mr. Mitchel's face worked convulsively
as he listened to this answer, buthe said
nothing more. ... .......'-.
He was then taken TO General Dix's
Office. aud probably shipped of ss.above

and taxation must go on for many gear
to pay the interest on what we owe, un-
less the debt be extinguished by some
popular movement. It is one Of more
Importance to the country in political

payment of the National debt is likely to
prove political canse Of embarrassment
as soon as tbs South regains its rep,esen-
