Postoffice Matters.
Postmaster-General Reagon has advertised
for proposals for furnishing the Confederate
States Government with stamped envelopes,
marking and rating stamps, mail sacks and
keys, wrapping paper, twine and sealing wax,
mail bags, postage stamps, and printing Post-
olfioe blanks, and paper for the same.
The bids must be made to the Department
by 3 o'clock, P. M., on the 1st of May next
The stamped envelopes are to bo of three
sises: noto, letter and official; and the rates to
be stamped on them are," two cents,” "five
cents," " ten cents," and " twenty cents.”
The postage stamps are to be of the same de
nominations—the sheets to be well gummed
and perforated.
The following clause in some of the adver
tisements would indicate that the Department
will assume control of all tha mail service in
the South on the 1st of July next, and dismiss
the United States Government from its pres
ent disagreeable service among us:
"Bidders will state the earliest period at
which they will be able to furnish supplies of
the article bid for, in the ovent of the contract
l>eing awarded to them, as it will have an im
portant bearing upon the awards. But bids
will not be entertained which fix a period be
yond the 1st of July next for the delivery of
supplies.”
If any of our readers should wish to bid for
any of the service, they can obtain full infor
mation by applying to the Postmaster-General
at Montgomery.

came In great numbers in canoes. About 150
want on board tha Towel, and made a rush on
(ha crew, who were all on deck, exoept four,
and murdered them instantly, with toraahawki.
Two escaped by jumping down the hatchway,
and these, with the other tour, were finally
taken prisoner* after a capitulation by which
their lives were spared. There wore thirty two
souls on board when she anchored—all of
whom perished, except the six. The ship was
then fired and quickly consumed with alt her

Mr. Breckinridge.
We have received the speech of ex Vice
President Breckinridge before the Kentucky
Legislature, on the 2d instant. We have not
had tirao to peruse it carefully ; but we see
that he advooates the Border Slave States to
offer to the General Government the Critten
den Compromise as an ultimatum. If it be
rejected, he is in favor of Secession and unit
ing with tho Confederate States.

This gentleman, who so ably represented the
I Oth Congressional districtof Tennessee in the U.
8. Congress for the last two terms, has written a
letter in response to the solicitations of many,
asking him again to become a candidate, de
clining to do so, on the ground that ha cannot
consent to represent his State and people in a
Black Congress, under the administration of a
Black Exaoutive. Ha thinks it is the duty of
Tennessee to units z. ones rrith the Ccafei-r
ate States, and not further jeopard her institu
tions by adheriog to her enemies. He utterly
refuses to be the medium through which a
alaveholding constituency shall be represented

Fun In Montgomery.
On Satuadey lMt, two young mao, who en
tertained a reciprocal hostility towards each
other, met, drew their "pocket companions,”
and exchanged shots, neither of which took
effect. They then closed—each nelug the butt
of his pistol upon the bead of his antagonist,
until both were soundly belabored. They
were separated, and an examination of the
matter was had yesterday in the Mayor’
Court, when they were fined $50 each, for the
pleasures they bad enjoyed in their rencoun

Day before yesterday, a couple of females
bad a meeting by appointment, at Cypress
Pond, near the city, to indulge in a fight. One
of them sent a challenge to the other to meet
her and fight, whieh was promptly accepted,
and they met; but just thon the police inter*
fered and broke up the programme, much to
the vexation of some who bad gooe out to wit
ness the "set to,” but much to the gratifies
tion of one of the parties, who had privately
given intimation of the affair to the police

a few of the adjacent cities, during the year
1860, sent home to their parents and relatives
in Ireland, from tho savings of their scanty
wages, £530,000, or $2,750,000.

Little, one of the old Board of Appeals iu the
Patent Office, wm removed today; notwith
standing that be wm tbe ablest Examiner and
Patent Lawyer in that important bureau, nis
offence was, that some twenty years ago, he
contributed some noteable articles to the Now
Hampshire Patriot against the miserable slave
ry agitation, whick has culminated in the dis
ruption of the Government.
The Commissioners of the Confederate States
are assured that no hostile stop is contemplated
at Fort Pickens.
The officers of tbe United States steamer
Powhattan, whieh has just arrived from Vera
Crux at New York, bare been reordered to her.
Bhe is to be put in commission and sent to sea
immediately. As she is not in a condition to
keep at sea for more than three months, with
out extensive repairs of her hull and angine,
It is presumed that she is to be employed on
tbe coast—perhaps to bring troops from Fort
Sumter, or to join the squadron off Pensacola.
The new Republican United States Treasurer,
wishing to distinguish himself by something
in the sensitive line, made th* wonderful dis
covery that some United Slates Bonds were not
in his offico, and therefore, had the feet heral
ded North that kis sterling ability had detect
ed another affair in the nature ol a spoliation
•f tbe Treeaury. Had he taken the trouble to
inquire of some experienced peasona about him
in office, he would have lesrned that Secretary
Guthrie caused them to be left at Memphis in

8*Btsht-icL», Texas, March 10, 1841.
Pear Father: I arrivsd at home on the 15th
instant, and found .several letters from you
awaiting my r«tpm. You naturally expect
roe to say something of odr campaign, what
we have done, and what we have failed to do.
After leaving Fort Belknap, we'traveled up
the Brazos until we got into Knox and Baylor
oounties. These are oalled counties. They on
ly have the name—being laid off by the Leg
islature, and not having uvoul in them, and al
most uninhabitable—white men rarely ever go
so iar. From here we went North, heading the
Little Wichita, until we struck the Big Wich
ita; thence, we went West and North-West,
until we struck the Pease River. We went to
the head of this river, and got in a very large
Indian trail. We trailed them North, until we
found that they had gone across to Red River
and the Canadian, and we had to abandon the
trail, on account of the condition of our horses
es and the extreme improbability of finding
them (the Indians) by following an old trail.
We then started South from tbe bead of the
Pease River—heading Big Wichita—and trav
eled on an arm of the "staked plaint” for a day,
headed all the forks of the Brazes, and discov
ered one fork of that river that was never set
down on any map, and was not found by Cap
tain Marcy, when he traveled in that country
to Harvey and define, by metes and bounds, the
line between Texas and the United State*. We
called tb»t the Badgsr Fork of the Bra
the boys killed a badger on the plains and eat
it on this river, or rather, I should say, branch.
After heading the Bm/.os, we went to the head
of the Colorado. Hero we found the most In
diaus. If our horsed had been in good plight,
might have killed a good many of them; but
it was otherwise, and we could do but little.—
Before we got to Colorado, aud while we were
still on the bead of the Wichita, our company
killed three Indians.
When we got to the Brazos, the most of the
command turned back for home. Some of our
company left us, and wc were reduced to thirty-
five men. We pushed on, however, to the head
of the Colorado, and found Indians—lots of them.
We chased a company of them with some squaw
and children, for eight or ten miles—got their
pack horses— 7 In number— and all their dried
buffalo meat. W'e broke them up completely.
fortunate that wc got their meat—if w
had not, we were iu a line way to starve. W
had done withont bread for nearly a week and
half—had only four little slices of lmcon i>er day
to the man, with a little soup and coffee. You
imagine our joy at capturing three or fou
bushels of line dried buffalo meat, under th
circumstances.
The same evening we robbed those Indians,
e saw one Indian alone on a mountain, spying
us out, to ascertain the position of our camp,
ami our numbers, as I supposed, for the purpose
of giving us a light; and although he had two
miles the start, four or five of ns chased him,
but could not catch him, (though he had hidden
his mule iu a ravine, and was a-foot.) We suc
ceeded in getting his mule, saddle, Ac. from him.
>w knew they would try to stampede
and aud steal our horses. Before night, three
comrades aud myself lay In ambush for An equal
number of Indians, and I believe wc could have
killed them, had it not been for the picquet-
guard, who halloed to the company ho loud as
to turn the Indians from our place of ambuscade.
In the night, about 12 o’clock, twenty or thirty
of the devils tried to gallop into our camp and
stampede our horses; but when they got within
60 or 70 yards of our camp, the guard commenc
ed firing upon them. Everybody was aroused
and out, and we gave them a pretty warm Areas
they ran by us. They shot at us a few times
with rifles and pistols. Jt was dark, bat I could
not help dodging ns 1 heard their bullets whistle
by. No ono was hurt. We may have wounded
some of the Camanches. They got so plentiful
here ns to come around our camp at night and
bark and howl like wolves.
Our horeses were now broken down. We
could not chase them and were compelled to
turn back. We now took down the Colorado to
Fort Chadbourne. Some of the boy»’ horses
gave out, and they would shoot them to keep
the Indians from getting them. All whose hon
es could carry them at all, had to walk a great
deal. Living on meat without bread, makes
one very weak. Add to this blistered heels,
sore muscles of the legs from walking, and
worn oat boots, and wheu you think of all this
at once, you may have a remote idea of the
hardships we had to undergo in scaling the
Colorado hills on foot, leading our horses.
It was very hard ; but we were all willing to
endure it. We all got very ragged, "tattered
and torn,” greasy, dirty and black. You never
would know me to see me in my ranger's attire.
From Chadbourne we came home. At Merid
ian, in Bosque county, I weighed 152 pounds—
fat and hearty.
When I got home my friends hardly knew
me. They gave us all a hearty welcome.
1 have given you a general outline of our
route, and a little of what we did. I wm in
several chases besides those mentioned. I can
not descend to particulars now. I kept a jour
nal of our travels the most of the trip. I Lore
seen a great deal of Texas—a great many curi
osities of natural history. We sickened at the
sight of buffalo before we got through their
range—myriads upon myriad# of them, ante
lopes, numerous, woivoe by millions, pan
ther#, wild cats, kiotoe, prairie dogs, eivet oats,
badgers, ravens, and God knows what else.
Tho prairie dogs kill out the grass where they
live, and their towns are sometimes twenty
mile* through them. We had to eat them Who#
our meat wm falling short.
When we got back where wo found plenty
to oat, I never saw men oat so much like dogs
in*tny life. While we were on the Wichita
river, we could see mountains on oaoh side of
us, glistening apparently with silver, but when
we would exiVnitre closely, we would find it

Letter From Hon, W. R. W. Cobb.
Wasuinqtom, March 22, 1861,
Dear N/r:—Having nrrived in this place af
ter spending several days in Virginia, and
yesterday in Richmond and in the Convention,
you will very naturally inquire what is the
news? In relation to tbe action of the Vir
ginia Convention, from the most reliable in
formation, she will not now secede, nor will
she force that question at this time upon the
people. The spirit of secession and a desire
to be with the South is daily gaining strength,
nnd it is only n question of time when she
will unite her fortunes with her Southern ee-
oeding sisters. Tbe manner of bringing this
about I cannot demonstrate in this brief note.
But, eay you, I want to know what the Fede
ral Government is going to do ? To answer it
mi st also be conjectural—but from the most
reliable sources to which I have scores for in
formal ion, I am led to believe the General
Government will neither attempt to retake any
oj the Forts nor eollecl the revenue by force in
any of the seceding States, nor will she attempt
to coerce the South in the first particular—
nor baa she sent men to reioforen the forts she
holds in tbe seceding States Further, tbe
disposition to avert bloodshed le and has beeu
growing among all parlies for the last three
weeks, and I might say for lbs last sixty dsys.
Fort Sumter will bo given up, aod as to tbe
receiving of oor Commissioners, with caution
nnd prudence, (whioh they are fully oapable
of exercising,) they uiU be received. Tbe
chances for nil these things are daily increas
ing. Then much depends upon the prudence
of our men, and that no overt act shall be com
mitted that would have a tendency to bring
about a hostile collision. I shall leava for
home in ten or twelve days, and in the mean
time pick up all tbe news that will enable as,
if possible, lo arrive at a*proper solution of
the various vexed questions (hot now agitate
the people of our country. Ao to our Govern
meat being acknowledged by foreign powers,
it is understood that the French nnd Spanish
Governments will, and tbe British Government
is not expected to do so immediately. Rus
sia, Sweden, Denmark and the Italian Con fed
eracy are all favorably inclined. I hasten to
olose. Yours truly,
W. R. W. COBB.
VcRsel Fired Into.
Yesterday afternoon about three o’clock,
while tbe wind wm blowing heavy from the
Northeast, a sohooner crossed tho bar and was
beating up the Channel abreast of the beach of
Morris’ Island, when she having attracted the
attention of some of the sentinels, one of tho
batteries fired several blank cartridges at her
for the purpose of bringiug her to, which the
Captain of the vessel paid no Attention to, but
kept ou his course, when a shotted gun was
discharged, the ball from whioh it is supposed
struck her in tbe bulwarks, when she put
about and proceeded down near tbe bar a«d
anchored.
During the firing it is said that tbe schooner
displayed ibe "United States ensign,” but as
her character and not her nationality was in
question, she should immediately have come
to and held intercourse with the commander
on the Island, instead of acting in a manner
that produced the impression that she intend
ed to force a passage. Soon after tbe firing
took plaoe, a boat from Fort Sumter visited
Morris’ Island, sent by Mqor Anderson to
make enquiry into the oause of tbe vessel hav
ing been shot at, and also to request permis
■ion for his boat to proceed to the schooner;
and it is reported that the boat did go to tbe
suspicious vessel, but of this we have oo cer
tain information.
About six o’clc ok Inst evening the stenmor
Gen'l Clinch, with Lieut. T, B. Huger, wm
sent from the City to look after the schooner
and investigate her oharocier, but after pro
ceeding some distance down the Channel they
were unable to discover anything of her, and
suppose that she had gone to sea.
As the wind was blowing very strong from
the NortheMt she will, no doubt, take a
Southerly course.—Charleston Courier, 4th in

P*id out to teachers of schools $4,976, leaving
