The Union rejoices without stint over the result of the Maine election, wherein Know Nothingism and Abolitionism combined have been terribly defeated, indeed. The Intelligencer publishes an extract from the law creating the naval reform board, to show that the synoptical report of their pro- ceedings is in according with that act of Con- grese.

The Railroad Controversy.—We have had on hand for some days, (if not some weeks) past, the following communication from the . efficient, popular, and enterprising Washing- ton Agent of the Potomac River and Freder- icksburg and Richmond route of travel, than which we know of no other more deservedly popular route of travel, without the extranc- ous efforts to puff it, involved in this paper in question. The writer challenges us to a dissection of his facts, in erroneously repre- senting us the champion of the mail route. We were seduced into this controversy only through our disposition to say kind things of the enterprise of the company in question, on the representation of one of its agents, which Proving likely to make erroneous impressions on the public mind, we did not hesitate to set them right on discovering our error. We ask from our readers a careful perusal of what our friend Mattingly says below, and then of our comments on his representations, which are written only after careful inquiry that enables Us to state facts in the premises beyond perad- venture: Tae Maw. Rovre Sovrn.—The Star of this city, in its number of the 24th undertakes to give the following reasons for the transfer of mail from the Richmond, Fredricksburg and Potomac Company, to the Alexandria, Orange and the Central Railroad Company. Says the Star: “The change was made to avoid the vexa- tious detentions of the great Southern mails so frequently occurring ice in the Poto- mac during the winter, which formany years past have been so universally and bitterly complained of as to satisfy all reasonable men that there is really more in them (the com- plaints) than simple indulgences in the so uni- versal American Newspaper habit of grumb. ling. A failure of the mail on the Potomac is a national vexation and potheration, as it is a failure of the great Atlantic coast mail, in the regularity of which more persons and proper- z are interested than in the punctuality of ¢ transportation of any other mail whatever. Wennderstand that it cost the Department a difference of some $9,000 only to obtain the insuranes against all futurb mail failures from —— a Semper ese that can- not fail to ay all engaged in commerce from Portland to New Orleans.’’ The Star, and all who favor the change of the mail route at an increosed expenditure of $9,000 and travel twice a day of five ex- tra miles, would be puzzled, if brought to the witness stand. to establish the fact or anything like it, that there have been “ vexatious de- tentions of the great Southern meil so fre- —, occurring from ice in the Potomac uring the winter.’* Since the hard winter of 1851-2 there have been very few detentions from ice or any other cause, and I think I may safely say that the failures between Washing- ton and Richmond have been as few in num- bers as upon any other mail route in the Uni- ted States. Let the record be tested, and let the officers of the Post Office Department re- member their own repeated declarations on the subject. Now let a few facts be stated, which ean be established by the Government employees themselves. ithin the last ten days there have been several failures of the new carriers to connect with the Baltimore Mail Line at 4+ in the afternoon; and, whilst the Boat Line delivers its passengers here at 4 o’clock in the morn always in time to connect with the 3 o’cloek afternoon train to Baltimore ; the other is under a great pressure to make the connection at 6 in the morning, and at the proper hour, (44) in the afternoon. Be- aides, the Boat Line allows ample time for meals on the route, both ways; and passen- gers for Petersburg in the morning are landed there one hour before the mail leaves Rich- mond, thro them two hours ahead at that int. Again, let the fact be known that there ‘e already oecurred on the new line, since the first of July, more failures (in less than two months) shan conyers on the old line during the whole of last year. Let the re- cords speak. The travelling public have suf- ficiently indicated their opinion of the com- ive merits of the route by the increased number who resort to the old line. But wait for the winter to tell its tale; the test will then be more properly made. Inthe mean- while, it will require all the ingenuity of the “*Star,’’ and of the Government of ti prove to sagaciaus travellers ‘‘that the far- therest way round is the nearest way home ;”’ or that the killing of seventy sheep at one time, and two cows at another in the night, affords greater safety to life and limb than the old line. The further fact may be ed that the large portions of mail matter have been delay- ed and wagoned to Alexandria to avoid en- eumbering the new line by a segular trans- mission. No such delay was allowed hereto- fore. and no such favor shown to the old line by the Government officers. Time, the great revealer of all things, will soon scatter to the winds the flimsy arrangements by which an Unnecessary expenditure is increased and the absurdity maintained that the Government and public are better accommodated by traveling 179 miles than 130. Georer Martina.y, Supt. of W. & F. 8. B. Go. We have nv disposition to discuss the “grub” question with frixnd Mattingly, and while ad- mitting cheerfully tha: the passengers on the river route live like fighiing cocks, (if it pleases him,) we have to say that po one tray- eler by the new mail (Orange and Alegandria and Central Railroads,) route has yet gom- Plained of being stinted or starved. Mr. Mattingly alleges that we make too much of the obstructions from ice by the river route in winter, and that the department did wrong in making the change to guard against those obstructions. We have enquired of the proper officer of the Post Office Department with reference to the correctness of Mr. M.’s alle- gation as to the manner in which the old line discharged their duty as mail contractors as compared with the line now carrying the mail in question, and from information so obtained, ave to criticise his statement as follows, viz: Capt. Mattingly says that there were on the old route ‘*few detentions from ice or any other eause’’ (sinee the winter of 185) and ’52,) and that ‘there have already oceurred on the new Hine, since the first of July more failures (in '| 1855, 52 failares occurred on that contract—37 line during th8 whole of last year.” Now the actual number of failures in this par- ticular contract, noted on the books of the Post 127 !—all of which were admitted by the Com- pany to be failures, and were s> accounted for. The number since the first of July last is 4; that is, since the new contract went into ope- ration. From the 1st January to 3lst March, of which were attributable to the river. Most of these failures were excused on representa- tions that they were unavoidable. The old contractors opposed the wishes of the Department to connect with the 3 p. m. train from Washington to Baltimore, on the ground that they could not make the requisite expe- dition ; and also for the same reason they de- | clined to fix an earlier hour of arrival at Rich- mond in the morning. They now boast of making such expedi- tion—showing that their former statements were incorrect, and that they did not promote the interests of the mail service, as might have been done. The running of the Fredericksburg route being now so regular and so much expedited, as represented, it would seem that the Depart- ment was not fairly dealt with when the mails were on that route, and that proper efforts were not made to guard against failures and perform the service as the Department desired. The mail is now actually conveyed on the new route between Washington and Richmond, to say the least, as regularly and expeditious- ly as it was conveyed, even at the same sea- son of the year, on the old one; and the bid of the old company for the service to commence on the first of July, particularly objected to making any expedition, so that nothing at all in this respect would have been gained by con- tinuing the mail on the old line. If it should now appear that greater expedition and regu- larity can be attained on that line than on the new one, it will prove that deception was prac- tised on the Department by the old contrac- tors. They also declined to supply Alexandria with two daily mails each way, on the ground that it was impracticable and unsafe to stop the boat there at night, while such stoppages are now made; showing that the Department and the public were imposed on in this re- spect. That many failures have occurred, owing to the difficulties of the river, especially in the winter season, is too notorious to admit of de- nial. Itis believed that the former contrac- tors did all they could to prevent them, and performed the service on that part of their route as regularly and expeditiously as was possible. The storms, and fogs, and ice, can- not be successfully contended against; thus rendering it quite inevitable that irregularities must be expected certainly during the winter season, while there is danger of an entire in- terruption, aa in times past, from the great ac- cumulation of ice. Such difficulties are, of course, entirely avoided on the new route. We started out with the intimation that the change was made to avoid difficulties inherent in river steamboating, in this latitude, in the winter—knowing well that the only purpose of the Department in making the change was to thatend. Our friend, Capt. Mattingly, essays to show that no such cause existed; and we prove, from the record, at bis summons, that he is mistaken. There is no other mail route in the country on which regularity is of great- er public importance than between Wash- ington and Richmond. The record from which we quote above makes it plain, that if a land line or route could be contracted with, stipulating to carry the mail in the same time, by which failures from ice, fogs, &c., in winter could be avoided, it was the plain duty of the Postmaster General to avail him- self of it. He has simply donethatthing. The public at large, who ars interested in the cer- tain transportation of the great Atiantic coast mails, not entering into this controversy as par- tisans of either route, will thank him for ob~ taining for them the insurance to which we refer above; which was sadly wanted (notwith- standing the asseverations of our friend, the captain) as is proved from the record of fail- ures on the part of the old mail line to run to schedule time, to which we refer above ; every one of which was fairly and squarely admitted to have occurred by the (then) contractors, and were accounted for by them, as the reeords of the Post Office Department show. But we see no good that can come out of pursuing this controversy further. Both lines wera doing well—far better than ever before—and both in their management are model enterprises. Naval Reform.—After going to press, yes- terday, we received from the Navy Depart- ment the following synopsis of the action of the Naval Reform Board, and that of the President upon it : The i of the Board of Naval Officers, appointed under the ‘Act to promote the effi- ciency of the Navy,’’ having been submitted by the Secretary of the Navy to the President, has by him been approved, after careful ex- amination and reflection. Two hundred and one officers have been removed from ‘active service,’’ and of this number forty-nine have been ‘‘dropped from the rolls’’ entirely. Of the Captains.......17 on leave of absence Do .....+.15 on furlough pay. ~ 3 dropped. +12 furlough. + 6 dropped. +18 leave pay. -49 on farlough. Do ++eeeee19 dropped.

Do +12 dropped. We understand that cireular orders will be iesued in a short time to the Commandants of Stations giving details for the information of the Navy, by which the public will learn what changes have been made. It will be pérceived from the statement above printed that the Department declines, at this time, publishing in detail the resultof the action of the Board, which we attribute wholjy to a regard for the officers whem the board of reform have felt called on to retire in one or the other of the three classes therein named. We have few remarks to make on the ation of this board, it was composed wholly of officers who, of right, may claim to be regarded as the very flower of the service—men of en- ergy, activity, professional attainments, repu- tation, utility and character. When selected, the whole serviee endorsed the propriety of their choice with one accord. The wonder, if any, was, that a Secretary of the Navy could know enough of the personnel of the service, to draw into one commission so many gentle- men who are emphatically among its most usefal and unexceptionable members, in that task to perform—that of determining who among those of their old associates and com- panions in arms are, from any cause whatever, unfit for the discharge of a// the duties of of ficets in the Navy of theUnited States. That they have discharge this duty conscientiously, none who know the Board individually, can for one instant doubt; nor can it be doubted that their action will greatly benefit the pub- lie service. The want of a retired list has been the curse of the Navy of the United States—we can appropriately use no milder term—it has repressed the capacities of junior officers for utility to the service, by keeping them in subordinate positions in which official etiquette prevented them from being called by BEN Boney on, while inefficient gentlemen rank them. & union of polities and re!

We regret to learn, by a letter received from Norfolk, that Dr. George L. Upshur ‘is sick;”” but the hope was expressed that ‘it only pro- ceeded from fatigue, as his labors have been incessant.’’ God grant that it may be so. Dr. Upshur is the popular physician to the Marine Hospital ; and withal, is not only tal- ented and skilful in his profession, but a gen- tleman of inost courteous address and urbane manners. When the yellow fever broke out in Norfolk, Dr. Upshur was called in, and so long as it was confined to “‘ Barry’s Row,” he was the ov/y physician who attended the un- fortunate inmates; and when the disease as- sumed an epidemic form, in common with the other resident physicians, and those noble souls from other cities, who took their lives in their hands, and proceeded to Norfolk on their errand of merey, he devoted himself to the humane work of administering to the wants of his suffering fellow citizens, relievi ng the sick the motto, Evil te hits whe oil think? and soothing the last hours of the dying.

We stated yesterday, on the authority of an exchange paper, that the post offices in Nor- folk and Portsmouth wore closed. This, we learn, is erroneous. The postmaster at Norfolk, (Dr. Galt,) though several of the members of his family are sick with the fever, bas attended in person to the duties of his office, in associa- tion with but one clerk, the others being ab- sent on account of the prevalent disease. The report that small pox had broken out in Norfolk is incorrect. Several cases had oc- eurred in the county but none in the city. Ww ted, yesterday, that Mr. Thos. Brigg:, of Washington, had fallen ictim to the yel- low fever. He was a native of Cambric Fe England. He left that country in 1836. He served in the army of the United States as geantin Capt Kirby’s company of the 2d artillery during the Florida war, and subse- quently in the Northeast boundary commis. sion under Major Graham. In both these posi- tions his brave and generons conduct elicited the praise of his superiors and admiration of his associates. He afterwards followed hia business (that of a tailor) in this city. When the desolating fever broke out he was the first here who volunteered his services as a nurse, and, relinquishing the business in which he was engaged, he left for Norfolk without pe- cuniary assistance and with bare enough in i ket to carry him thither. His services in the infected region were highly appreciated, and hjs universal kindness and sympathy drew towards bim the hearts of all under his char, He died a martyr in the cause of hu- ma and the surviving recipienis of his care will erect in theirown hearts a monument to his memory. The Norfolk Dispatch, of last evening, says: “Tt having been stated that Miss Andrews, the humane lady who came from New York to buree the sick, was herself among those down with the fever, we are requested to state that she has not had the fever. She was a little ind: fora day; butshe is ectively en- in attending the sick. She is now in Pectamoath family, nursing the wife of a min- ister, who is sick with the feyer.”’ Rey. Mr. Hume, a Baptist clergyman from Portsmouth, who has had the fever, arrived in Richmoud on Tuesday, to confer with a committee of the councils. He thinks the fever will soon subside, but represented the distress as awful and a removal of the popu- lation as impracticable. He returned to Ports- mouth yesterday, and will bring back to Rich- mond a number of orphaa children. FROM SUFFOLK, ETC.

Mr. 5. picked up & stick, and the elk, with his hair bristled up, piunged at him. Mr. S. struck the animal an ineffectual blow, and then seizing him by the horns and nose, attempted to protect himself from the thrusts of his tremendous horns, ani continued the struggle for more than an hour, when he fainted, aud the elk, thinking him dead, left left him. Mr. 8. was hardly able, when ho recovered his senses, to drag himself to his cabin, and there he managed—finding that owing to internal hemorrhage bis breathing was becoming difficult, and there was no one one near to he!p him—to saddle his horse and ride to Franklinton, a distance of two miles. His injuries are thus described : One prong of the antler entered his chest a little below the heart, lacerating the left lung, the other piercing the right. A dreadful a some five inches long, on the right thigh, barely missed the fe:moral artery, and the back and body are very much bruised. The elk has always, previous to this occur- rence, been peaceable. He is described as a noble specimen of his race, proud and erect in his carriage, and crowned with a pair of enor- mous spreading antlers. ALEXANDRIA CORRESPONDENCE. ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 13, 1855.
