MAIL IRREGULARITIES. Col. Van
Lew, postmaster of Richmond, is catching
Hail Columbia from the country newspa-
pe,s about the irrcgularity Of the mails.
The trouble must be in the mailing depart
ment of our post-otfice. Enquirer.
In our paper of Saturday afternoon, we
published extracts from the Fredericksburg
papers, showing undoubted irregularities IN
the transmission Of Richmond papers to
that city. We did not attempt to locate
the fault, for the reason that we did not
know where it belonged. Our object was
simply to call attention to the matter, for
the benefit of our friends at Fredericks-
burg, feeling sure that if the neglect be-
longed to the mail service, it would be
promptly remedied. For the information
of the Sufferers and the public generally,
we would state the Monday moyning'S
edition of one Of our city papers did
not reach the Richmond postoifice on
Suaday morning until after the mail for
Fredericksburg had been placed on board
the cars at the depot, and, as a matter of
course, had to lay over twenty-lour hours.
We mention this case as possibly affording
a clue to the many irregularities complained
of. 1slF

peace meeting was held in Music hall to-
night, preliminary to the musical festival
tomorrow. There was an immense audi
ence present. Addresses were made by
the Rev. j. b. Miles, E. s. Tobey, Elhu

ring concluded his spirited address by re-
ferring to the arbitration now pending with
England, and an expression of confidence
in the result.
He was followed by the Rev. d. Burns,
of London, who assured the American peo-
pie that not in this generation could war
occur between the two nations.
The addresses were interspersed with ap-
propriate music.

THE LASH. - The Richmond cores
pondent of the Petersburg hader, after
minutely describing the brutal punishment
inflicted upon two colored men at the
county Jail with the lash, on Saturday, by
order of Judge Minor, concludes as fol-
lows:
g | do not think Judge Minor will often
repeat this thing, if he does the commune
ty will not approve of it. We have become
so reyolutionized in our views about such
matters, as to be unwilling to see brought
into use again mode of punishment which
is universally condemned in this age"

LOCAL MAETERS.

The STREETS OF RICHMoND.-Rich
mond owes much of her beauty as city 10
/ The peculiar conformation of the ground
upon which she is situated. Her topogiaph-
ical irregularities lend charm, a pctur-
esqueness, and healthfulnes to the stua-
ton, which no level plain can impart and
while these irregularities may be consider
ed as offering some impediment to business
operations, they are too valuable in many
points of view, and their removal involving
pretext whatever. Indeed We regard the
proposition to level the old improved streets
of Richmond, either by cxcayating or fill
ing, as too absurdly visionary and impracti-
cable, to have been seriously contemp-
lated by but few of our citizens. ea
Such project would necessitate the
total removal Of many of the costly houses
and other improvements wherever this
work should be carried on. For instance
if Main street should be graded from.
Eighth to Fourth, of course Fifth, SIKH.
and Seventh cross streets, would have to
be graded also, as well as Franklin aid
Grace, and even Broad /; and does any one
suppose the fine residences within this area
could be allowed to remain upon the min
iaturc mountains thus created in every
square Not only the streets, but the
whole Of these blocks of ground mus.
come down to common grade.
Are the citizens of Richmond prepared
for such an undertaking as is contemplated?
Have they money to expend in such wild
scheme? Who would pay the cost of such
a stupendous work (? IF such grade
were attempted in the locality named it
would necessitate equally heavy work in
many ether parts OF the city. The whole
valley must be filled up, and the houses
there removed and rebuilt, or covered up a
hundred feet with dirt, Church Hill must
be shoveed over into the valley, Capitol
Hill, CANDLES Hill and Oregon Hill must
likewise be dumped into the neighboring
ravincs. In short, Richmond must move
into the country, to await the process of
tearing down and rebuilding the residences
and business houses of the people.

afternoon Coroner Trent held an inquest,
at house No. 305 west Broad street, upon
the body of female colored infant found
dead. 1t appears from the evidence before
the jury, that its mother, Caroline Loney,
was in the habit of going out to day work,
leaving her child under the charge of SIS
ter some ten years old. Returning Satur-
day morning earlier than usual, she found
her child dead. The jury rendered ver-
dict that the child came TO its death from
natural causes.

COLoRED ORPHAN AsYLUM.-Yes-
terday afternoon the children from the col
ored orphan asylum, on Charity street,
near st. Paul's, united in an exhibition
given by the Sabbath school children of the
Third-Street Methodist church. The reci-
tations by the children were most credita-
BILE to them, and were highly appreciated
by a numerous audience of parents and
others. At intervals excellent Sabbath
school songs were sung by the children, ac-
companed by music on the church melo-
deon. Addresses were delivered by Rev.
Vim. Hamilton and other gentlemen. Mr..
Hamilton, who is the new pastor, showed
himself in full sympathy with Sabbath
school work, and speedily established COR
dial relations between himself and the chill
dren. A collection was made for the bene-
fit Of the asylum, which is in need of
funds. We understand that, through the
efforts of J. b. Crenshaw, ESQ.,, who is
president of the asylum, and others, an
appropriation of 81 900 has been made by
the City Council in aid of this institution,
and We commend it to the fostering care of
our citizens generally.

DEATH ON THE RAIL.-A young man
named Nicholas Branton, employed as a
blacksmith in James Halls foundry, in this
city, was killed near Dunlop's station, on
the Petersburg road, yesterday. His mother
and sisters reside in Petersburg, and he had
accompanied them home from visit to
Richmond. Wishing to return on yester-
day in order to resume his work this morn
ing, he got aboard crowded excursion
train, and to avoid the crowd got on top
Of one Of the cars. AS the train was pass
ing under the county road bridge, near
Dunlop's station, Mr.. Branton was struck
on the back of the head by the bridge, and
so badly injured that he died before he
could be taken off the car. The body OF
the young man was left at the station and
taken back to his mother and sisters by the
first train southwark.
