Cost oF INLAND MaiL TRANSPORTA- TIO: During the month of Octover last the cost of inland mail transportation, including service by railroad, steamboat, and in other ways, and the expense of mall mes service, was increased in the sum of $17 $82,402.68 — making @ Het decrease of $34,510.35 for the month. During the first four months of the present fiscal year the actual mnerease in the cost of inland mail irausportation was Ss + 0.72, OF at the rate of £495.112.16 per ann: The increase for a number of year m. past has amounted to from $1,200,000 tO $1,500,000 an- nually. THE British Quarterly review for Oc'obder (Seott Publishing Company reprint), re- ceived from Warren Choate & Co., has amongst its articles of current interest, one on “Modern Necromancy,” in which it is ueld, “that while there is ample testimony to the occurrence of phenomena inexpli- ie according to the generadorder aol imitation of organic life, the study of these phe:omena has not advanced a single step beyond the értablishment of their objective reality;” that its study is attended wiih dis- aivantage and danger, and with results that are absolutely unreliable, and that modern spiritualism is identical with ancient uecro- macy. THE PRESIDEN1'S INDIAN POLICY.—Sev- eral pastors in this city, of different denomi. nations, Who were apprehensive that the government might abandon its peace policy towards the Indians, ealled on the President yesterday to express their conviction that such @ course would greatly disappoint Christian peopte ail over the country,and be a blow to the eause of Christianity throug). eut the world. ‘The President replied that be that it not only would pot be aba. while he occupied that place, but that it was the necessary poliey of his successors, IMPRISONMENT OF BaiGHam Youxa — Brigham Young was yestenlay placed in custody of the sheriff for the non-payment of the alimony (which, together with the cono- sel fees, amounts to 89,000,) recently adjudged | his wife Ann Eliza. Senator Sarzeot had an interview with the Attorney General this roorhing regacding the matier. The Attor- ney General will bring up the subject before the President today at Cabinet meeting. The point made is, whether in marrying Brigham, fully aware of bis numerous other wives, Mrs. Young did not tacitly ackaowi- mo herself a concubine, and thus was ille- gally married. This is an entirely new light in which to view the subject, which is of considerable interest. Judge Pierrepont is of the opinion that Brigham will be dis- charged. FourTH AUDITOR's REPORT.—Theannual report of Judge Tabor, Fourth Auditor of the Treasury department, shows that during the last fiscal year paymasters’ accounts, in- volving the sum of €19,230,476.25, were a- justed; pavy paymasters’ and individual ac- counts, in which the sum of $22,879,322.36 involved; prize claims, amounting w $358,588 in the aggregate; general claims. amounting to $213,561 in the aggregate, an bavy pension accounts, involving the sum pda requisitions, amounting to $26,498,150.30, and funding requisitions, amounting to $4,697,428 were entered.

We were weicomed with warm expressions of satisfaction,and assured many times that we have given him great pleasure by the call. I should remark in passing. that the Governor bas been much in public Hife, is by nature hospitable, and by instinct a gentieman of the old school. His conver- Sational powers are of the first order. We were bu hort time at the Governor's, whea Dr. D. D. Carter arrtved. He had left his horse and buggy at the hotel, and walked over to inquire whether we reached our des- tination in safety. It was originally a part of the programme that the doctor should come in the carriage with us, but he was de- tained, and, besides, contemplated returnin, sooner than the rest of the company, an: therefore concluded to drive his own horse. We spent a delightful evening in the com. pany of the Governor, his family, bis son: in- jaw. N. Gaither, esq., and others whodropped ip during the evening, and an animated con- versation was continued until a late hour. On arising the following morning, I was much refresh: 1, having baa's good nigats sleep. I took a hasty survey of the town, and baying enjoyea the lavish hospitality of this representative Kentucky mansion, I expressed my thanks for the courtesies ex- tended, as well as I knew how, and left for Danville, a little after nine o'clock. The morning was bright and clear. A shower bad fallen dering the night, by which the dust had been laid on the roads, and the air rendered cool and pleasant. The town of Harrodsburg, first called Harrodstown, then Oid Towu, and then by its present name, is situated on aneminence which commands an extensive view. Tae houses are chiefly of brick, compactly built, and there are’ evidences of considerable wealth and trade. It hada population, ac- cording to tue United States cer of 1570, of 2,205. Near Harrodsburg there are a num- ber of rather important mineral springs, some ef which from the earliest settlements of pentery have been eld in esteem for their curative properties. There is a race track here where annual races take place. The buildings for educational and religious purposes are large aud haudsome, one of the nest being the female seminary, wh nearly opposite Gov. Magoffin’s residence. The farms between Harrodsburg and Dan- ville Gre all in a high state of cultivation, and the fencing good. Probably this section suffered but littie from the ravages of the late war. The stranger is struck with sur- [ato at the evenness of the roads, and the jong Straight lines which they follow. There are but few hills of over a handred feet ele- vation, although the jand is gently rolling, being Dearer a dead level. DANVILLE We arrival in Danville at |\ o'clock. P. of the company stopped with General Gr by. whilst Dr. McMurtry, a former stu of Dr. Jackson, and who now oceupies the latter's office, drove me out tosee Dr. J., who | is at present stopping on a farm with his brother @ couple of miles out of towe. Dr. Carter accompanied us tnli.s own buggy. Danville, the seat of justice of Boyle county, is about ten miles trom Harrodsburg, and has a population of about 3,000. This was oue of the earliest settlements in the state, but was only made intoa separate connty in ist1. Danville is within three miles of Dix river, a tributary of the mpricees és and is frequently mentiored tn the histories of the early struggles of the pioneers to establish themselves in the “Dark and Bloody Ground” acentary ago. Centre College, a large and flourishing in- stitution, under the | oaperenere of the Pres- »yterian chureh of the state, which had its f-andation prior to 120, has been in succes- fel Operation sice 1430. There are also college for the deaf and dumb and a female seminary. The first court-honse and jai built in Kentucky were located in Danville. on: ment of the state. The first constitutioa of the state was formed by a convention assem- bled here, and it was only a freak of fortune, determined by a small vote, which, in { required the first legislature to meet at Le: ington, which finally fixed the a al Frankfort. The town was laid out by Wal- ter Daniel, esq., of Virginia, who gave it his rame—Dan-ville. This gentleman was sub- sequently killed by the Iudians in August. 1734. THE ONCE “DARK AND RLOODY GROUND.” Kentucky, often alluded to as the “Dark and Blocdy Ground,” had suffered so much from Indian depredations as to make the people restless under the apparent neglect of the government of the state of Virginia, to afford them the proper protection. Tie set- Uers petitioned the federal government for | Sid in vain, as it really had no army to send chastise wo the Indians or guard the frontier. They then sought relief by asking to be ad- mitted as an independent state, in order that they might organize the militia for protec- tion within their own borders. The state of Vv . oni magnanimously, consented to separation, and as early as January, 786, the yee passed an a act to permit the people of Kentucky to hold @ convention and form a state constitution. But, as sos from the political history of the times, there was some jealousy, even at this early dav, on the part of the representa- rn states in Congress. A desire to limit southern influence in national affairs, it seems, thus early to mani- fest itself. In uence of this spirit it was not urtil the 4th of February, 1791, that an act to admit Kentucky became a law and re- ceived the signature of the President, totake effect June Ist, 1792, Kentucky being the second state admitted after the adoption of the federal constitution. Immediatelyafter the pas: of the act for the admission of Kentucky, Vermont asked to be received, and an act to admit this state was passed on the 18th of February, 1791, which was to take effect on the ith of March of the same year. Vermont was therefore the first state admitted into the union, although the act for her admission was ype subsequently to that for the ad- mission of Kentucky. Nine state conven tions were held in Danville from 1784 to 1792} in order to effect the framing of a state con- stitution and the election of state efficers. Isaac Shelby, of “Traveller’s Rest,” a revolu- Uonary officer residing on his estate, a few miles from Danville, was elected in May, 1792. the first governor of Kentucky. Gov. Shelby’s residence was built on his own pre- emption, and was construc! of stone, so as to Berve as a sort of fort in time or danger. For years this house afforded shelter to all persons visiting the country, and thas it on tained the popular designation of “ Travel ler’s Rest,” by which it is known at the present time. VISIT TO DR. TACKSON. I shall now devote the remaining space al- the residence of Mr. C. Jackson, I found the doctor sitting on the Of the pretty little cottage. He looked tolerably strong, and ‘and rr The and bet! before in Louisville. His ip fact, was nea: rly a8 favorable as it was last summer, when we it & month to- er a@t the Thousand Islands and on the Lawrence. The doctor, notwithstanding bis illness, is cheerful, and, when alone, reading. He is anh a come, | stons by the leading | sucha | the cer = OE -4 ready and profitable of the re in which the Doctor is held by the people of Danville and vicinity. The mber and class Of persons who were daily calling, and giving otoer manifestations of their appreciation of him, both as a man and as a physician. certainly indicated a regant that was highly flattering. One day, while 1 was with him, there were seven carriages in front of the door, representing as many separate families, who called to pay their respects. Another day there were five car- riages, and every day there was quitea num- ber. Dr. Jackson is a native of Danville, Ky., and graduated at Center College. Hestadied medicine amid the scenes of his youth, and has fairly won by his merits a front rank ia the medical profession of the United States. It is not at ail wonderful that the whole community should have a pride and interest inhim. Years ago, his ability attracted the attention of the medical men throughout the country. The bi¢h honor paid him at the re- cent meeting of the American Medical As- sociation in Loutsville, in electing him first vice president, was but the honest expression of the great esteem iu which he is held his brethren throughout the United States. Dr. Jackson has been solicited on many physicians of sever: leave Danville and set nius and ability being of character as to command em- ployment. But he loved so well the country and the kind-hearted le among whom he had grown up, that netther the professor's ebair, nor the indneement of a usiness in @ great mart, could allare him away from the friendships and scenes of his eariy life. our larger cities to among them; bis rODOUNI The Doctor bas collected one of the choicest libraries In Ceniral Kentucky, and one, tn- deed, which, in point of value and extent, would grace the library of an eminent phy. sician in a large city. He reads French, and also speaks it quite well, and is a rapid and careful reader, with a logical and analytical mind, drawing deductions with great rapid- ity and accuracy. During his tour to the Old World, be made many valuable acy ain- tances, especially among the leading physi- cians a surgeons of Great Britain. But few pbysicians of his age have won a more enduring place on the pazes of American medical literature, and fewer still a more deserved remembrance in the hearts of his associates and professional — Tr COLD WEATHER, Snow, RaIN AND FLoops.—A snow storm commenced Sun- cay evening at Susquehanna, where three ‘hes fell, and at Deposit two inches. Tne weather cleared off cold and blustering, and ice formed in the vicinity of Port Jervis nearly an inch thic! There was a light fall a., and the mountains in Pike county, Pa., are covered, The hilis north of Manchester, N. H., are also white with snow, and yesterlay was tie coldest day of the season in that section. There are about six Inches of snow at (Quebec, Canada, and sleighing is good. Mount Royal, near Montreal, is covered to the depth of two in- ches. Snow commenced falling in Boston at 12 15 this morning. The severe storm in New Ergland has caused the Merrimac, in New Hampshire, to rise several) feet, and fears are entertained at Manchester for the safety of the river wall, which is of solid masonry, fi- teen feet bigh and nearly half a mile long. About fifty feet of it has shown signs of giv- ing way before the pressure. One and three- fourths Inches of rain fell at_Manchester Saturday night. At Biddeford, Me., the rain fall was unprecedented. THE ANTHRACITE COAL PRODUCTION is weekly quite large, and for the week ending on the 23d ult., as reported by the Miners® Journal, foots @ tonnage of 5%: tons, against 567,41 tons the week previous, an increase of 15,188 tons. The tonnage for the week ending on Saturday last, the Seth ult., will be still larger, and probably the largest of the year. The anthracite tonnage for the year up to the 2K) ult. was 16,305,081 tons, Against 16,567,7-7 tons to corresponding time last year, a decrease of 25),706 tous.
