An employe of the Post Office Department, now Superintending mail matters in Arkansas, writes that -‘on the mail route trom Fort Smith, in that State, to Caswell, in Missouri, there is not a house nor habitation where a mail carrier could refresh himself or beast in a distance of nearly two hundred miles.

Port Jerrerson, Dry Tortueas, FLa., Sept. 25, 1865.—To-day, asthe steamer Scett was lying at the wharf, waiting for the em- barkation of the 16ist New York volunteers, whose term of service is about to expire, Dr. Mudd, taking advantage of the confusion of moving baggage, stores, &c., and with the aid of one of the crew named ‘Kelly, attempted to escape by concealing himself, or being con- cealed by his confederate, in the coal-bunkers of the steamer. Information was immediately given by Mr. Jackson, military storekeeper at this post, that Mudd had gone below and had not come up again. Lieutenant Tappen first discovered him by running his sabre under an old box in the coal bunker, and the cold steel coming in contact with the latter end of Dr. Mudd, made him c: out and come out. He made some remar| about his being in hard luck, but two colored sentinels in his rear urged the gentleman for- ward without any further remarks. Search was then made for Spangler, Arnold, and O’Laughblin, but they were all found in- side the walls. Mudd seemed in great confu- sion, and I haven’t the least doubt but what his brain was somewhat muddled. The Doc- tor is now enjoying the dungeon, anda bran — pair of bracelets for both wrists and an- les. ‘The first regular meeti of the CENTBAL LDING ASSOCIATION, which was organized on the 34 instant, will be held THIS (Tuesday) EY ENING, in the Council Chamber, at the City The officers of the Association are: Asbury yd, President; James Towles, Vice President; James L.

THE PRESIDENT’S SPEBOH. The First District Colored Regiment marched. from their quarters in Campbell Hospital to the Executive Mansion this morning, to be re- viewed by the President, who briefly addressed the command. He said that he appeared simply to tender his thanks for the compliment they had paid him on their return home to the associations of friends and:relatiyes and those they held most dear. He appeared because it was unusual in this and. other Governments to have colored regiments in the army, and he appreciated their good will in thus visiting him, as he had the evidences of their faithful- ness in the service. They were now expected todo as much in civil life as they had in the field. The standard by which people are to.be elevated is their conduct and worth, and he who did his duty faithfally and justly would always find that popular sentiment would measure outa proper reward. He knew.that there had been much during the war to excite the white against the black and the black against. the white, but now on the return of peace all resentment should terminate, and their minds should be directed to the future before them. The future was far more Hie pence than the scenes through which they bad passed. It was true slavery hed ended. That institution had made war upon the Government, and the Government had lifted its strong arm and decided that slavery must go down. But this was not all. Now when the sword was returned to its scab- bard and the olive branch of peace waved over us all, resentment and revenge should end. They should understand that liberty did not consist wholly in going into the service as a soldier. When they laid down their arms and doffed their uniforms another subject would come up to engross their attention. There was & great problem before them, and they were to decide how. to solve it. Now that y were about to return to the avocations of peace, they must give evidence to the world thatthey were competent to govern themselves. Liberty was not a mere idea or vagary, but a reality. It did not consist in being idle and worthless, or in doing as shox pegent. There must be law, and obedience and submission to law without re- gard to color. Liberty consisted of the glorious privilege to work, each pursuing the avoca- tions of pease with industry and economy, and te enjoy the products of one’s own labor. Lib- erty meantto be moral, industrious, virtuous and upright in all their dealings with men. As they went from the Capital of the Nation it was of great importance that they should ob- serve these principles. They had heard a great deal about men standing equal before the law, but he that was virtuous would be most exalt- ed, without regard to color. The talk of pass- ing laws to make the whites black before night, and blacks white before day was all stuff. That was not the idea of equality. He had lived in the South all his life, and knew the habits of the colored people. Now, they should observe, above all other things, the contract and associations of married life. ‘Women should abstain from the habits ac- quired during the war. Virtue, marriage, and intelligence was the standard to observe as their ruling principle of life. They should return to their homes and firesides with a fixed and unalterable determination to do their duty in the future as they had in the past, and should abstain from all the bickerings that follow competition between races. The great problem now was whether their race could be incorporated with the white poops of the United States, so as to live together in har- mony. We were trying to solve that question. Slavery had been 3truck to the ground, and that part of the problem was solved, but now arose the more important query, whether these four millions could take their place among the population and work harmoniously in our system. Are the digestive powers of the overnment able to take in this ele- ment and work healthfully! This was what they were trying to do, but if the experiment did not succeed, they must sepa- rate as a distinct people. Ifthe laws of Provi- dence required that they should separate, Providence would ere? out the way they were to take to the land of their inheritance and promise if there was one before them. Our duty was to discover what are the laws that lie at the foundation of things, and then conform- ing to them, Providence would deliver us from the difficulties we had contneded with so long. In_ conclusion, he would thank them again for the compliment they had paid him, trust- ing that what he had said in a desultory man- ner would be appreciated, and would stimu- late them to acts of worthiness and value to the country. The remarks of the Presiden: were fre- quently interrupted by applause, and at their end Col. Hogman moved into the avenue with his column, marching down to 7th street, and thence to Campbell Hospital, where the regi- ment was to partake of the hospitalities of the colored citizens of Washington. Upon the arrival of the regiment at Cam: bel) Hospital it was closed in mass by div: ions in front of the music stand in the enclo- sure, where they stacked their arms, and stood pre) to hear the addresses. Upon the stand with the committee of its and field officers of the regiment was Rev. Mr. Raymond, who was first to take an active part in organizing the regiment, and who was first intended to command it; Rev. Mr. Mace, mis- sionary of the colored people of the District; Mr. C. H. Bliss, Dr. Woolley, Rev. H. M. Turner, chaplain of the regiment, and several representatives of the press. The crowd of spectators was very numerous, but orderly. After the performance of music by the regi- mental band, Mr. Robert Booker introduced George F. T. Cook, son of the late Rev. John F. Cook. as the person who presented the regi- ment with the beaunfal flag, of which all that remains is the staff. Mr. Cooke proceeded in an appropriate man- ner to welcome the regiment home. The regi- ment, he said, lett the District a so-called ex- periment, but returns an indisputable fact, attested by the 220 who remain of the original 1,000 who marched away. The speaker de- scribed in feeling terms the sufferings they had endured and the battles they had partici, in in defence of their count The orator, in behalf of the colored ple of the District, greeted the returned soldiers, and pledged the aoa not only for liberation, but enfranchise- ment. This address was followed by brief addresses from Colonel Raymond and Mr. C. H. Bliss. Sergeant G. W. Hatton, colored, recently of the regiment, addressed the regiment briefly upon their trials in the past and their hopes for the ess which ended the speaking at the stand. After half an hour given the troops to rid themselves of their capeings and prepare for dinner, they were conducted to the dining- room. The tables were in splendid are extending the entire length of the hall. The committee of arrangements, of which James Wormley, & well known caterer for the public, was » had provided every- thing that the season affords, prepared in the best style, and, to their credit we would say, not a drop of intoxicating liquor was seen.
