A Correction.

In yesterdays TINES it was stated
that W. II. Petit, who has Just re.
turned from the East, where he spent
the winter, was superintendent of the
Buffalo company, Of Atlanta. This
vas a mistake. Mr.. Petit was for
merly superintendent OF the Mon
arch-a company whose mine is To-
Gated on the great Atlanta ledge, at
Atlanta, and property which, years
ago, shipped 1000 tons Of ore that
sold in Omaha for $1,000 per ton.
During the past winter the Monarch
company dissolved, and reorganized
as the Atlanta company, and it will,
in future, be known by that name.
A set of new hosting works is on
the way to the mine, and when that
is in position, the mine will make

About one thousand men and a

About forty five miles Of the road

let divisions of one mile each. which

Complaint Against the POstofIlce.

SAwM1LL GuLcH, May %, 1882.
EDITOR TiMEs-Sir: We, the un-
dersigned, being at distance from
your city, patronize it for all and ey-
cry article we use-and get it sue
cessfully, excepting, however, our
mail, which we are compelled to re-
ceive at the postoffice. We would
ask through your columns why
your selfimportant postmaster can
not deliver the mail without first
finding fault about our sending so
often? Now. If there is law in ex-
istence prohibiting persons from ask
ing for mail oftener than once per
month, or troubling the postmaster
unless he purchases given amount
of stamps, we would be pleased to
know it. 1t seems by his present
actions that he is there more for our
personal accommodation than for
any compensation. We should think
that the returns from the postoflice
in a town the size Of Haley would
be sufficient to employ an accommo-
dating and trustworthy person. Be
ing situated as we are, it is impossi-
ble to 60 to the office personally.
Yours, respectfully,

Americans as Orators.

Daniel Webster was much more than
an orator But in his own lifetime his
oratory often appeared to overshadow
his other claims to distinction. The
most celebrated of American citizens of
his generation. and perhaps the most
honored and beloved, he was never ac-
cepted by the whole body even of
American liberals as their fightful can
didate for the pre- sidency. Only when
startled by the sal surprise Of his death
they began to repent of the opportunity
they had missed If clarifying their side.
Since the grave closed upon him the
splendor Of his Rhetorical triumphs has
almost altogether eclipsed his fame as
iurist and statesman. That the re-
nown of an orator should survive at all
must always indicate more than ordinary
endowments of speech. That it should
survive in the United States betokens
marvellous eloquence. Ability TO speak
in public is common to all Americans,
excepting Gen. Washington and, per-
haps Gen. Grant An American who
studied at Cambridge some forty years
since records the naive surprise he felt
mt discovering himself an object of
academical admiration for being able TO
make set speech without preparation.
Every American could do the same, he
avows. The best judges, experts, and
rivals listened enraptured TO Daniel
Webster, whether arguing in the SUI
preme court, addressing congress, or de-
claiming at Bunker hill, or in Faneuil
hall, or on bare, bleak rock at New
Plymouth. With one accord they recog-
nized their master; they could deny him
neither their tears nor their judgments
The art is not dead in Europe. England
has two orators left. France has at least
one. The American union has not q
few. But we suspect there is something
wanting to their efforts which was pres
ent still when Daniel Webster expired
thirty years ago. Words are as flowing
and glowing as they were; 1t Is the
hearts of the hearers which are no more
receptive and imprcssille. The festival
which honors the memory OF Daniel
Webster reminds this age at once OF
man who took it, predecessor captive
by the magic of speech and of its own
loss of the faculty for abandoning itself
to the same delicious enthrallment.
