From Foreign Shores.

Capt, stubbs, of the schooner Carrie A.
Bucknam, which arrived at New York, from
st. Domingo City, reports that on March
p, when off Saona island at about noon
he sighted vessel steaming toward his
vessel from the land, then distant about six
CT eight miles. The craft proved to be Do
minican war VESSEL. When nearly in the
schooner's wake, much to the surprise of
the crew she fred shot, which struck the
water only few yards from the Buchanan Is
stern. She then gave chase, but with a
good strong breeze the schooner dstanced
her. She was q low, rakish. two-masted
steamer of about 500 tons burthen, a pparent-
~ of French or Spanish build Her decks
were crowded with men. What her GRAND
was can only be conjectured, as tn e Buck
nam was far outside of MISREPRESENTATION and
on the high seas, where they could have no
legitimite right to overhaul her. The Amer
lean flag was flying at the schooner's peak
all the time, it having been hoisted as soon
as the steamer was made out to be a war
vessel.

The mail route between Woodstocl

The mail route between Woodstock
and Bridgewater, Vt, a distance Of
six miles, appears to be a star route
that does not need a Congressional
investigation, but does deserve some
notice. For the last four years it
has cost Uncle Sam only 4 cents for
a daily mail service on this route,
and for the ensuing four years / cent
is to pay for the same service. If
warrants are drawn quarterly they
will call for only one-sixteepth of a
cent each, and the contractor will
have to wait four years. or until he
has received 16 warrants, before he
can draw his cash. William Billings,
who is believed by his friends to have
seen more years of stage-driving
than any other man now living, is to
carry the mail over this route.
