Our object was simply to acknowledge an act of courtesy in bsccaning terms. So, we took the statement of the agent of tie lower route without question, sod gave him and his employees credit for their enterprise, as thus manifested. Finding, however, that the Rishmond paper essays to use our paregraph to create a false impreétion a3 to what the Post Ciice Depart- Ment hes felt ealied on, by its views of the Public interost as involved in the contract for earrying the mail between Washington and Richmond, ws have taken cecasion to mske due icquiry into the matter, and find at the eity post office that, had we despatched our Messenger thither for our Southern mail in due season, we might havo received tho RieLmond payers coming by the mail line, almost as soon as thus brougt to our office di- ect from the Sunthern boat by the kindness of the agent of that Moe, the difference in time being ox'y about the time requisite to assort the Seathorn mail for Washington; both lincs arriving hero nearly together, as is marifeet in the f.ct (bat the mail is asualiy crossing the Potomae bridge as the boat is nearing her wharf. Su w. are informed by the mal! agent who travels with that partionlar mail. The distancs under tho new contract, though lon Ber, requires no additional time on the mail schedule, because river navigation is wholiy dispensed with upon the new route; whereas there was a stretch of sixty miles of steam- boating—and capital steamboating, too, by the old route. We learned, further, at the city post viice, from the same mail agent, that there is also no practical diferenco in the time taken in running the two routes going Bouth. It is, therefore, due to truth end Sastice thet we should state these facts. And, further, that wo should respectfully ask the National American to tell 2 iesders that the change ‘Wee mace 4 avoid the vexatious detentions of the great Southsre mail, ro frequcatly ovcur- ving from ico in the Potomac during the wia- ter, which for many years past have been so universally end bitterly complained of as to satisfy el! reasorable men that there is really more in them (the compiaints) than simple Anduigence in the 20 univeran] Amerizan pews paper habit of grumbling.

We should as soon expect his sort o’ Know Nothing namesake (without théjatermédiate R.) of Virginia, to vote against the Demoorats on any really important ques- tion. The latter, though he hugged the Know Nothings most affectionately before the elec- tion, is far too prudent a man where his per- sonal iaterosts are concerned, to feed them on anything more substantial than ‘soft sawder,”’ after having used them for the successful ae- complishment of his temporary ends, | Distribution of Smithsonian Pablications. We have obtsinod from the Smithtonian In- stitution the rulea for distributing their pub- lications, which we give for the benefit of those Sobvieties and Libraries who may wish to obtain them. The ixcome of the Institution is £0 tmall in proportion to the demands made upon it, that only a limited number of copies of the * Contributions to Knowledge’’ can be printed, and theze are to be sent to all parte of the world. If an institution comes under any of the rules, ard it will forward regular meteoro- logical and other observations, together with reports, osatalogues, and transactions, the Smithsonian Institution endeavors to send its * Contributions t» Knowledge,” or such separ- ate memoirs as may be particularly appropri- ate to ite objects. The following rules have been adcpted for the distribution: 1, They are to be presented to all learned seeleties which publish travsactions, and give iu of these in exchange to the Instication. . To all foreign libraries of the first class, provided they give in exobange their cats- lugues or other publications, or an equivalent in their duplicate volumes. 3. To all the college: ia actual operation in this country, provided they furnish in return, mmeteorvlogic Takei siiecs, catalogues of their librasies urd their students, and all other pub- livations. issued by them relative to their or- ganization and history. 4. To sll States nud Territories, provided there be given, in return, copies of all dvcu- ments published under their authority. 5. To all incorporated public libraries in this country, not iocludedin any of the fore- gving classes, now containing more than 7,000 volumes; and to smaller libraries, where a whole State or large district would be other- wise unsupplied. 6.

Some, ot course, expect to go out of active service, while others look to more rapid promotion ag the result of the retirement of those who may be, from any cause whatever, unfit fer the proper discharge of any of the varied duties appertaining to their several positions in the public service. Though there cannot fail to be much dizoqgntent with the action of this Board, on the whcle, the country will approve its decisions, whatever they may turn out to be; for they heve been performing only a duty long since pronow ced absolutely necessary for tue public interes: by public opinion; and, ss individual officer", the Board was composed of gentlemen in ell respects erjoying the conf- deuce of the couxutry, because it is notorion that nono others are more scrviseable, efficient, and espable then themsctres. An Brrer or Misreprescntation Corrected An artlole in a Norfolk paper, the other day, reflected with severity on the alleged foba- manity of the commander of Fort Monroe, in refusing assistance to the rtarving men of the ship ‘‘ Plymouth Rock.’” The commander re- ferred to indigaantly denies the charge, and states that he never heard of the “ Plymouth Rock,’’ or Capt.

One of these, we are pained to record, was stricken down on Monday afternoon, after x brief illness. This man among us was Cap- tain George Chambers. Active, energetic, beaevolent, he had been engaged for days pre- viously, in euperintending the removal of tho sick to the Naval Hospital. Ho now Lies in the cold and sileut grave! Pease be to him! He was a most usefui public man, whose pluce caonot easily be supphed. We cannot neglect here to name two of those who now remain among us, and who are actively engaged in ynluistering to the present necessities of our people. Col. Winchester Watts, President of tho Council continues setively employed ia responding to various letters from abroad, and in ministering to the wants of tho needy. James G.

We do not know what ourcommuuity wouid have done without Hesekiah Siokes, former Mayor of the town. He bae been engaged in- sersantly in meeting the exigencies of these trying times. James W. Matthews, the Town Scrgeant, has alse been, in season and out of season, actively engaged in the performance of his scoumniated and responsibie daties. Meantime the fever rages and is on the in- orease. The physiolans of Norfoik and Portamouth aro well-pigh exhausted, aad they are about ng eid of their medival brethren of Savan- uch, Charleston, and other Southern cities. The following are down with the fever in Norfolk : - Miss Margaret Kennedy, R. Dove, John Ba dry, Wm. Whitebead, Miss Fulgbam, Mrs. Mitchell, John K Rudder, Mrs. James G.

The prisoner is charged with an at- tempt to defraud the Globe Mutual Insurance Company of thiscity. It appears that Petrie represented himself as the owner of the steam- boat G. W. P. Custis, at that time lying at Washiagton city, D. C., and procured from the company a policy of insurance for $3,500 steamboat for a elagle trip of the from Wash- ington to New York. ‘etrie, it is eaid, represented the steamer to bs seaworthy in articular, and that his intention was to pene. er to this for the purpore of runni er to some of the adja- cent places. He obtained es of in- surance in other companies to the amount of 37,500. Petrie, it is further stated, engaged Capt. Vat Baskirk to bring the vessel from Washington, and he accordingly left this city for that purpose. Oa reaching W shington, Captain Van Bus- kirk discovered that the steambcat was unfit tor sea, being badly burned from her boilers forward, and three engineers were engaged for three or four days in getting her in @ con- dition for the trip. Previously to leavicg, however, Petrie, an jioterview with the captain, ateted that he wished and directed him (the captain) to run the veesel ashore at the most advantageous point—to ran her high and dry, so as to save her boil engine, which, he said, he could pure from the underwr'ters for little or not! . Captain Van Buskirk listened to the propo- sition of Petiie, and started on the trip, but instead of proceeding toNew York, asdireoted, sQn the st-amer to Alexindria, some seven or eight miles trom Washingto:, and made her fast to the wharf. Hy» then sarted for this city, and gave information of the transaction to Lewis Gregory, President of the Globe In- surauee Co., who immediately waited upon the Mayor, and obtained a warrant for the irrest of Petrie. Meyor Wood had a coneuitation with Dis- tviet Attorney Hal! about the case, and find- ing that the prisoner could not be legally held by the S ate courts, sent the papers to the United States District Attorney, who will ex- amine the matter immediately. No offence Laviog been s0mmitted, but merely an attempt to perpeirate a awiudle, the Distrist Attorney gave it a3 bis opinion that the State courts had n0 jurisdiction. ‘ho fotlowing are the policies which had | been taken ous by Petrie on the steamboat : Globe Mutua!
