SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, alluding to the approaching State elections, says thut from every quarter the most cheering intelligence is received of the alertness of the Democracy who feel the necessity of earnest and well-directed efforts to ensure success. The Union congratulates the American peo- ple on the fact that the Nationa] Washington Monument, has at last been rescued from party- ism, and put in a fair way of completion. The Intelligencer publishes a condensed re- port of the proceedings had in both Houses of Congress upon the Post Office Appropriation bill, so that its readers can judge for them- selves to what party the responsibility of its defeat justly belongs. ——__-.0e- _ (> From Shillington, Odeon Building,we have Frank Lestie’s New Family Magazine for April, an interesting number. A Literary Curtosiry.—The N.Y.

S. C., on Friday last, Richard J. Foster, convicted of the crime of burglary, was executed at 3 o'clock, P. ™., in the jail yard. The execution of the sen- | tence was delayed until that late hour, at the ear- nest request of the prisoner, who was reluctant to relinquish the hope that the mail from Columbia might bring a pardon from the Governor. Not- withstanding this, however, he walked to the scaffold with a tirm and unfaltering step, aud met his fate with remarkable composure. The Charleston papers have nothing to say against the barbarity of the punishment. On the contrary, the News says that great p: had been taken by the Sheriff to have the solemn sentence of the law | carried out with the greatest humanity. | Navat.—At the Philadelphia Navy Yard on | Saturday, the second buiier of sloop-of-war. No. 1, , was safely taken on board. The two boilers, to- | gether, weigh seventy tons. The engines of this vessel are to be of as great power (1,000 horse) as those of the frigate Lancaster. The power of the sloop is made the greater in proportion to size, be- cause it is not desigued to use sails, except in cases ofemergency. Itis believed that a specd of fif teen miles an hour will be attained with the yreat power of ber engines. sloop will be got ready for sea with all possibie dispateh.

Dr. Cone—We perceive that the Rev. A. K. Nott is lecturing in New York on “The life aud character of the Rev.

On tirst leaving the stage for the pulpit he obtained a congregation in the neighboring city of Alexan- dria, where he *-labored”? long to the advantage of society. and to his own advantage; for there he made the character for practic and the possession of ster!

RewovaL or tae Boston Post Orrice.—A good deal having been said about this matter, it may be interesting to state briefly the cause of the dispute. About a year ago, because the building occupied hy the Boston Post Office, on State street, was too small, and unhealthy, and so dark as to require gas light tobe kept burn- ing in day time in cloudy weather, the late Postmaster General instructed Mr. Capen, the Postmaster at Boston. to procure another building for the purpose, if he could obtain a suitable one without an increase of expense. Mr. Capen subsequently wrote the Department | that parties in Boston were willing to put up a proper building, if they were assured it would be rented by the Government for a certain term of years. The Postmaster General re- plied that the Department would not guaran- tee the renting of the building only from quarter to quarter. As the parties referred to refused to erect a building on the conditions set forth by the Postmaster G: Mr. Ca- pen set to work himself, leased a lot of ground on Summer street and erected at an expense of some $30,000, a suitable building. In Februa- ry last, the structure was finished and the re- moval of the Post Ofice commenced, and was completed on the 5th of March. During all this time certain citizens of Boston remonstrated against the removal, and on the 3d of March they succeeded in having an amend- ment appended to one of the appropriation bills passed by Congress forbidding the removal of the Boston Post Office “ from its present site” until the same shall be ordered by Congress, provided that the parties opposed to the remo- val should indemnify the Government against any loss or damages arising from retrogressive action in the premises. Since then, Postmaster Capen has contended that the site of the Post Office at the time the act was passed was on Summer street, (the new location.) Those op- posed to the removal are equally pertinacious in maintaining that the law referred to the old State street site. The present Postmaster G eral referred the matter to the Attorney Gen- eral, who has decided against Mr. Capen’s in- terpretation of the law. Hence it is probable the Post Office will be removed back to its old location if the building can again be procured, and if the remonstrants pledge themselves to indemnify the Government for all losses and extra expense which may be incurred. paras Se Foretes Postaces.—We have, on several recent oceasions, apprised the Scar’s readers of reductions in the postal charges on letters passing between this country and the States of northern Europe, and some curiosity has been manifested as to how the reductions were brought about. In looking over the articles of agreement entered intu between this Govern- ment and the Governments of Hamburg and and a gentleman of high character, unfailing discretion and great editorial experience—all points of vital importance.to secure the proper conduct of the National orgun of the Demo- cratic party. : eg Facts axp Rumors.—It is stated by the New York Herald’s correspondent from this city, that ‘almost every mail brings gratifying in- telligence that the heavy mail contractors in various sections of the country are doing all in their power to sustain the Department in its efforts to keep up the service. This will have a salutary effect upon smaller contractors.”* It is stated that the President will not select a Private Secretary till near the time of the meeting of Congress. Special Agent Shalleross, it is understood, will be appointed to investigate the charges against Postmaster Westcott, of Philadelphia. It is supposed that the delay in Lord Lyons’s arrival may be occasioned by the visit of the Curacoa to Madeira, but it is beginning to ex- cite serious apprehensions as to hia safety. Lord Napier has prepared fer his departure to Europe. and now only waits for the arrival of his suecessor. ——_e—_- Fort Yuma Goup Mixes.—A private letter received here to-day from Fort Yuma, bearing date of March 4, speaks in very discouraging terms of the prospect of the gold diggers in that vicinity. In short, the writer says that the mines are one of the grandest humbugs of the day, and those who go there expecting to amass fortunes in a few wecks or months, will be wo- fully disappointed. He admits that there is gold there, but says it is found only in very limited quantities, in the veins of rotten quartz rocks, close to the surface. The American miners have all left, except some twenty-five, and the mines are now worked by Mexicans, who, by dry-washing, gather from fifty cents to one dollar and a half’s worth of gold per day. passant Cou. Horraax’s Exrevitioy.—By advice: from Fort Yuma dated March 4th, from a pri- vate source, it is understood that the advance of Col. Hoffman's command, destined to the Upper Colorado (the Mojave country) to establish a post at what is known as Whipple's Crossing, had arrived at the fort, where they expected to be joined by Col. H. and the remainder of his command, who were to come by way of the mouth of the river, in afew days. The letter speaks of the great need there is fur the organ- ization of a territorial government for that re- gion. ne Ivrortaxt Dectsiox.—In answer to an in- terrogatory submitted to the Interior Depart- ment, Attorney General Black has given the following decision : j "The question t Bremen. we find the matter fully explained. | swer is: Whether ¢ ’ As the articles are of general interest, and fur- titled to more than one per diem ou the sa 3 if the ry may have attended upe cirenit or district court and appeared before a United States commissioner, on the examination of a pe arged with crime. + Tn the act of the 26th of Febr is no provision authorizing the pa’ than one per diem on the same day, and I th its spirit clearly intends that no di attorney shal receive on any one day more than one per diem for the services of that day. nish other valuable information concerning the postal arrangements between this country and the German States, we have thought it worth while to republish the following portions of them : Art.
