POST OFFICE DOCUMENTS.
We return our thanks to the Hon. R. L. Can
dle for the voluminous documents accompanying
the Report from the House of Representatives,
relative to the General Post Office Department.
“THE DECEPTIVE SYSTEM.”
Our readers will recollect the misrepresenta
tions relative to the “ star-spangled banner,”
which were manufactured during the canvass of
the last elections, by the hickory pole and hicko
ry leaf heroes. They are now recommencing
their old work, with, no doubt, the same view, of
producing political effect, by deceiving the peo
ple. The Federal Union, as will be seen by
an article, in to-day’s paper, from the Milledgc
villoTimes, charges the “Indian party,” (mean
ing, thereby, the States Rights Party,) with forc
ing the Jail of Cass county, and liberating seve
ral prisoncis confined there for murder. The re
verse of this, it appears, is true. Will the Fede
ral now attempt to justify the act when it finds,
that he who committed it is a Union man and “ a
devoted partizan of Governor Lumpkin” 1 We
trust not.
ALABAMA.
The Governor of Alabama has written to the
Secretary of War, and informed him of the mur
ders and frauds, recently committed in that State,
by white men and Indians. As the Governor
does not wish to call the militia into service,
at this busy season of the year, when all classes
of citizcn#aic engaged, he requests the Secretary
to order a detachment of U. States troops to Fort
Mitchell, to aid the civil authorities in arresting
offenders.
The desire of the Governor not to call out the
militia at this busy season, evinces a praiseworthy
solicitude for their welfare—but we really ima
gined that Alabama had heretofore received enough
of the military protection of the U. States tc
wish for no more of it. Has Alabama forgot the
quasi war carried against her by the President
and the murder, by his troops, of her fellow citi
zen, Owens 1 For this cold blooded transaction
no atonement, we believe, has yet been made, noi
ever will be.
U. S. TELEGRAPH.
We published last week the particulars of sev
eral disgraceful and outrageous attacks made up
on the Printers employed in the office of the U
S. Telegraph, by other Printers, styling them
selves the “regular Printers of the District of Co
Inmbia.” The assailants have been committei
for trial. After this result, one of the examinini
magistrates was clandestinely attacked and severe
ly beaten, by a “ regular Printer,” for discharginj
the duties of his office.
From these circumstances, it appears to us, tha
the office of the Telegraph has been selected so
destruction, and that the “ regular Printers” ar
but subordinate agents, employed by higher au
thority. We regret to record transactions of s
violent and degrading a character. Ifthe politica
adversaries of the Telegraph cannot put it dowi
' in fair and honorable controversy, they have no J
right to resort to club-law—much less have they '
= a right to beat the peace officers, for doing their
duty-. Such things are dishonorable to the seat
'• of general government.
£
MAN-WORSHIP.
5 The Southern Fanner has strong manwor
.- shipping propensities. Not waiting, like a mo
c dest man should, until President Jackson “ shuf
p lies off this mortal coil,” he antedates his glory,
> and pronounces the old hero “ immortal 1” It is
>. Young, we think, who says, that “ all men think
" all men mortal but themselves.” The Banner
j is, howover, of a contrary opinion, and dispenses
s an exemption from all the ills of mortality with
1 the same generosity and facility that the Knight
’ of the Woeful Countenance transferred govern
ments and principalities. By the bye, that same
Knighl and his man Sancho, strongly resemble,
f in some points, Old Hickory and his man Friday,
I the little Magician. The Banner could not bet-
I ter employ its talents, (as it has made one of the
parties “ immortal,”) than in running a parallel
1 between them. There is a shade of
however, between the President and Don Quix
, otto, for the former possescs all the madness with
■ out any of the genius of the latter. The little Ma
| gician will, probably, like Sancho, get a government
—but whether it will bo as wisely administered, is
• another question. These suggestions are thrown
1 out for the benefit of the Banner, should it think
proper to draw the parallel.
JUDGE C. DOUGHERTY.
The nomination of this gentleman as a candi
date for the Executive Chair, appears to have gi
ven general and very lively satisfaction. The
Macon Messenger says: “ Mr. Dougherty posses
ses all those requisites which should recommend
him to the support of the States Rights party of
Georgia—intelligent, honest, and consistent, he
1 will concentrate the vote of the party. The issue
, is now fully made up. The candidate is an un
. equivocal, decided States Rights man, and there
. can be no compromise of principle, by giving him
our undivided support 1”
” A correspondent of the Savannah Republican
also notices the nomination in terms highly ap
probatory. He observes: “To secure harmony,
to preserve the united action of the States Rights
party, Judge Dougherty was taken up. The
Judge is, in my judgment, a gentleman to whom
' but little objection can be made. He is firm in
his politics ; but he is also temperate in his feel
ings. Ho is a gentleman already favorably known
in Chatham county—a man of unblemished cha
racter, of strong mind, and of dignified deport
ment.”
The State Rights,party have now a candidate
around whom they can rally—a candidate who
i combines in himself all the qualities of the ac
complished gentleman and profound statesman.
An active, persevering, and zealous support will
secure his election—at least, we are induced to be.
lievc it will, so sanguine arc our hopes of success,
and so confident are we of the purity of our prin
ciples and the strength of our parly, when properly
directed and called out into full action. The
• sterling and sturdy republicans of Georgia, can
; not, consistently with their political character,
i elevate to the Chief Magistracy of the state, a
rank federalist of the old Ifchool, who is so “ deep
ly dyed in the wool” as tfv. gentleman semi-offi
cially nominated to head life Union party. No
, one should hesitate bctwcciithe two candidates,
j- The election of Judge Dougtyrty would prove a
proud day for Georgia. Thd injury which has
. been inflicted upon her character and interests
|- by the mal-administion of a Jirtizan governor,
would be speedily removed, an# her reputation
, and prosperity established upon'u firm and en
during basis.
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
The May No. excels its prcdefe SS ors; and
this is saying a great deal for its exceatncc. All
the articles arc original, and many omhem dia
monds of the first water.
’ “ Dissertation on the characteristic differ-
D ences between the sexes,” Cv <'., is the
tive essay. The subject is highly interesting an ft
the writer treats it in a manner corresponding
with its importance. The “ characteristic Ailfor
-3 ences” arc nicely analysed and beautifully «vc
’■ loped. The hidden springs of human action W
opened to our view, and we see the waters of qb
r meandering in conscious purity and quiet brl.
! > fiance, or raging and foaming with all the dam
8 impetuosity of passion. The essay exhibits greau
7 research, and charming originality. It is from
't the chaste, lucid, and powerful pen of Professor
S Dew, whoso fine and commanding talents arc
too well known to need our poor commendation,
c “ Sketches of the History of Tripoli,” &c.
y These Sketches still continue very interesting,
i- They are full of incident, and the style is chaste
h and flowing. We extraetthe following anecdote
;o which is appended as a note. The Mclle-Melle
to alluded to, was the former Tunisian Ambassador
t, to the United States;
,i- “Melle-Mellc is still remembered in Washing
„ ton, where his dresses, his presents, his prayers,
’ his Arabian horses, his refusing to eat from sun
-3r rise to sunset, during a particular time of the year,
(the Ramadan or Mahometan Lent,) and other
of his Oriental customs and peculiarities, form the
subjects of many anecdotes. Among his attend
v- an ts was a passionate fellow named Hadji Mo
p- hammed, who having had a quarrel with a barber
rj iu the city, threatened to kill him. The barber
complained to Mr. Madison, the Secretary of
State, who sent Mr. B , a highly respected
o- gentleman of his Department, to call on Melle
ad Mellc, and request him to curb the impetuosity
of his follower. The Ambassador received Mr.
s B with the usual Oriental forms of politc
c‘ ness, and having heard the complaint, said a few
*g words in Arabic to ono of his attendants, who
went out, and presently reappeared with poor
at Hadji Mohammed, guarded by four men with
drawn swords. This apparition somewhat as
or tounded Mr. B , who is the most mild and
re amiable of men; and he was still more shocked
u- when Mclle-Melle, in the most courteous manner
eo expressing his desire to do all in his power to
. please the American government, offered to have
a the culprit’s head taken off immediately, and’senl
,n to the Secretary of State, unless ho or the Prcsi
i j dent might prefer seeing it done themselves. Mr.
\ B of course declined such a demonstration of
| the Ambassador’s good feeling toward the United
. States, and hastened to assure him that no such
; mode of reparation was demanded; it being only
necessary to enjoin upon his attendant to refrain
from any acts of violence. This fact was related
to the writer by Mr. B himself.”
The Review of Frances Anne Butler's Jour
nal, is more fair, candid, and liberal than any of
the northern criticism we have seen. Its merits
and errors are both exposed. The former re
ceives the well merited approbation of the review
er, and the latter meets with no more harshness
than is compatible with a gentlemanly treatment
of the fair authoress.
“ Lion-izing. A Tale. By Edgar A, Poe.”
This tale wo give entire this morning. The ta
lents of the author are fine and varied ; passing
from “ grave to gay,” with pleasing facility. His
Lion-izing has all the humor, animation, and sa
tire of Sterne’s man from the promontory of No
ses, and creates as much sensation in Fum-Fudgei
as Diego’s did in Strasburg. The reader, wil*
take hold of Mr. Thomas Smith’s nose with much
pleasure and satisfaction.
For a full table of contents, sec advertising
columns.
It is the publisher’s intention to occasionally
embellish the pages of the Messenger with hand
some drawings, and engravings, as soon as a rea
sonable enlargement of the subscription fist will
afford the means of doing so. Southern scenery
will receive especial attention. This adornment
will finish the dress of the Messenger, and we
hope that a liberal and spirited patronage will
quickly deck it out in full costume.
SUMMARY.
The longest day and shortest night of the year
were marked with a sudden change of tempera
ture from 93, on Saturday, to 70, on yesterday.
Courier of Monday.
Cannot Columns of sufficient length to be cut
out of the Stone Quarries in this neighborhood,
to take the place of the decayed wooden ones,
which now disgrace the entrance to the City Hall
Lot 1 They require to be renewed, and we think
columns of a more durable material, though ex
pensive at first, would be true economy.— Courier
of Monday,
Rail Road. —During the week ending on Sa
turday last 13th inst. 763 Passengers were con
veyed upon the Rail Road’ and 906 bales Cotton
brought to Charleston upon it. The receipts of
the company for the said time, amounted to $4,-
413,03, exclusive of the mail contract. — Charles

Columbia, June 19.— Stocks. —Sales of stock
of the Commercial Bank of this place were made
on Monday last at S3B per share, being a pre
mium of 52 per cent, on the original cost. Shares
of the Insurance. Company have sold at an advance
of 12$ per cent, no dividend yet paid.
It has been so cold in Indiana that an editor in
that state was obliged to sit up in his office all
night, with a couple of printer’s devils rubbing his
head, to keep the ideas from freezing,
Vicksburg Register.
Yes—it was a Van Buren Editor. His ideas
are so sappy, that their freezing up is a very com
mon occurrence.— Louisville Journal.
A revival in the Methodist Church, in this
place, has been, and is prevailing to an extent
unprecedented in this part of the country. The
ministers have labored most zealously and faith
fully, and the work has been crowned with the
greatest success. On Tuesday mornig there were
87 white converts and 33 black—up to the same
day, 73 whites and 33 blacks had joined the
church. A general interest in the subject of reli
gion appears to prevail throughout our city, and
every day adds new members to the church.
Macon Messenger, June 18.
Girard College. —Some idea of the splendor
and magnificence of the Girard College, now e
recting in Philadelphia, may he formed from the
fact—that the sum of one thousand three hundred
dollars has been contracted to be paid for the
mechanic’s labor upon each of the marble caps,
placed upon the thirty-four Corinthian columns,
intended to adorn the outside of the building. It
is estimated, that to complete each of the caps
will require the continued daily labor of two me
chanics for upwards of one year. The aggregate
cost of the thirty-four columns, embracing mate
rials, labor of finishing, and cost of erecting, may
bo conjectured, when the cost of labor upon the
caps alone, amounts to fifty four thousand two
hundred dollars.
Indian Council. —A council of this tribe has
been held during the present week about thirty
miles from this place, to settle some private bust
ness of their own. An agent of die government
was present, and paid to them the amount of the
annuity duo from the United Slates, and delivered
to them the views and feelings of the President
upon the propriety of their removal to the West,
and the necessity of the Chiefs surrendering the
violators of the laws. The advice given them wo
understand was received in good part. Upon the
[ subject of their removal and the place where they
V would go, they were somewhat divided in opin
rtjion, some wishing to go to Texas, and others
1 wishing to remove to Arkansas. By reference to
V letter from the Col. of cavalry in Texas, to the
1 MJcretary of War, published in this paper, it will
15 l\wen that they will not he suffered to settle in
. 'w Mexican province. They had come to no
_ finKagrecment when our informant left. They
arc \i meet again in a short time at Fort Mitch
‘ ell, Nkcre the matter will probably be finally sot

.Vt'w an j important Discovery. —A short
e time s%te, Mr. MontangUe, of Haverstraw, or
r sami! ["von connected with his family, in pas
sing oveY rough portion of his farm, broke off ac
ciilentallyUrom the edge of a projecting rock, a
- piece abot«j foot square, which lie observed was
! , somewhat wforent in appearance from the ordi
■ nary stoiieJU n d his curiosity being somewhat
’, excited, he % induced to carry it homo with
i him, and sulAquently to admit it to the inspection

I Since the above piecV» a s found, a careful exami

it lying useless within a quarflb of a mile of the}

The Jump. —The successor of Sam Patch rc
f deemed his promise yesterday afternoon, as far as
I he found it practicable. Not being able to attain
i an elevation 150 feet, he leaped from the main
- truck of a brig, a height of about ninety feet,
i Before performing the perilous feat, he addres
, sod the concourse, which was vety large, in good
set terras. Ho told them that “it was a pretty
considerable of a jump, but ho was’nt alearud
on’t,” and begged them what liked it” to contri
f butc not less than a sip nor more than a quarter.
! After this harangue ho bounded into the air, first
holding forth his arms to steady him, and placing
them to his thighs when near the water. He re
mained under water a very short time, and on his
appearance was greeted with hearty cheers from
the crowd. —Philadelphia Gazette,
There is at Amherst, in this State, the most
extensive carriage manufactory in the U. Slates.
It is owned by Messrs. Knowles & Thayer. They
give employment to nearly 100 hands, anil turn
out work to the amount SIOO,OOO per year. There
is nothing pertaining to a carriage, but the horses
which their shop docs not supply. All kinds of
springs, the wheels, axle trees, &c. are all made
there. The oak, walnut, and ash they consume
i grows almost at their door. They have made
carriages for Ex-President Adams, President
Jackson, Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Woodbury, Mr.
M’Lean, and about 40 members of Congress and
the Departments, and they have an order for a
coach from Paris. They are now building one
for Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, Speaker of the House
Representatives, which will cost SBOO. Mr. Van
Buren’s cost $1,400, and President Jackson has
