Inclose a Stamp. vVV receive frequent letters from persons on their . own private business, or matter- of no interest to j us, with requests for an answer, but very few of , them inclose a stamp to pay return postage. We are reasonably accommodating, and cheer- j fully give our time and trouble to furnish answers, j Bur why should we be taxed with postage V We bring this point before the public for the j public benefit, and as a question of social proprie- j tv and justice. Many right-minded people impose ! this tax on others without re tied ion. To all such a simple suggestion of the impropriety is sufficient. To all the suggestion may be serviceable, that to lu.-orc an answer to a letter on business, important ■ .nlv to the writer, always incloseit postage stamp. Coleman’s Grand Panorama.

Election tor Mayor and Members of Council. The election passed ofl’ this day in u very quiet way, as there was no opposition for the Mayoralty, 1 nor in any of the Wards for Members of Council, except in the second. Ihe election resulted as follows : Gen. G. W. Evans was elected Mayor. First W ard. —F. Blodokt, Jr., Wm. H. Tctt, and A. V. Laßoche were elected Members of Council. SECOND WARD. Anti-K/wio Nothing.

Third Ward. Bkn.t. Conley, K. H. May, J. D. Butt. Fourth Ward.—Wm. 11. Stark, B. F. Hall, W. H. Goodrich. The result of the election yesterday has given to tli* anti-Know Nothing and Democratic party of the city, in the Second Ward on* additional mem ber of Council, and lied the highest candidate on the Know Nothing side for another member. Last year the Council stood, including the Mayor, twelve Know Nothings, and on* Anti—by the election yesterday it stands, including Mayor, D u Know Nothings, two Antics, and one tin 7. There was no opposition for Mayor, because it was well understood that Ge». Evans, although nominated by the Know Nothing party, would sus tain the action of the citizens recommending the subscription by the City Council of $500,000 to the stock if the Savannah Valley railroad ; and as all the candidates running in the Third and Fourth Wards, for Council, were understood to be in favor of that enterprise, tut opposition was offered to their election Ii is true that gentlemen were vo ted for, in all the wards, who were not candidates but the Second Ward was the battle ground, and the Democrats achieved a victory there. The Mayor ami the Members of Council in the First, Third and Fourth Wards are Know No things. Emanuel Superior < ourt.

We see it stated in a number of our Texas ex change;, from different sections, that the destruc tive weevil to corn is, beyond a doubt, totally dead. We have recently conversed with several of our farmers on the subject, and they assure us that such is also the ease in this country. The cause is attributed to the seventy of the winter which has just passed. A member of the North Carolina Legislature made a decidedly good “hit" a short time ago.

The transition from rugged winter to balmy spring has been very rapid in the last two weeks, j and is all the more agreeable from the power of j the contrast. But a short while back the earth j was cold ami frozen, and the icy winds were howl ing dismally around our dwellings and through the leafless forests Now, where the weight of pendent icicles shattered the trained slirubben, and snapped the tender saplings of the forest, and ; wrenched huge limbs from tall trees, flowers are smiling in the sunlight, and the clambering jas mine perfumes the softened breezes. The sweet scented violet was the first to peep up from its lowly covert - then the gay jonquil, the gaudy ! daffodil, the rich and uristocrafic looking hyacinth j and meek-eved star of Bethlehem waved their * graceful heads to the dewy morn. The lilac and * flowering almond nod in friendly greeting. The queenly rose is opening her glowing petals. All j nature i« awakening to the glad influences of the j season, and the kindly soil is already bursting j open, and the fruit trees are blooming with incipi ! ent evidence of her eoming bounty. The grass is springing up fresh and tender, and the woods with 1 their young leaves, and the snowy blossomed dog i wood, fair as a bride at the altar, present a delight i ful freshness to the forest landscape. Tree and | shrub and hedgerow are vocal with carolling birds, j who are rejoicing that the long winter is over and I are tuning their throats to songs of love. While Nature is all blithe and happy, no won- i j der man responds in sympathy to these sweet in- j fluenees. No wonder the young and lighthearted | i are keenly alive to the genial impulses of the | j season. Life is to them all a vision of happiness, j i and hope gilds the future with gayest colors. Even j i she rugged nature of old Dr. Johnson was not j proof against these soft blandishments, and in his I j sick chamber, while confined by gout thus apostro- ! 1 phised: “Stern winter now, by spring repressed. Forbears the long continued strife; And nature on her naked breast Delights to catch the gales of life.” “Now, o’er the rural kingdom roves Soft pleasure with her laughing tram ; Love warbles in the vocal groves, And vegetation plants the plain." He finds solace in the contemplation of nature’s beautiful laws, and flying on the wings of imagi nation revisits the groves familiar to his youth. Thus beguiled of his pby sical sufferings, he mor alizes in the spirit of a philosopher and a Chris tian. “Here, stop, my soul, thy rapid flight, Nor from the pleasing groves depart, Where first great nature charmed my sight, Where Wisdom first informed my heart." “Theu let me through the vales pursue, A guide a father—and a friend; Once more great nature’s works review, Once more on Wisdom’s voice attend.” If the season rightly appreciated, brings balm ' and comfort to the couch of pain, it should not he thrown away upon the strong and the robust. 1 The cares of business and the strifes of trade i should not deaden the sensibilities to the charms j of spring. Those who can should allow them selves a brief respite front the heat and dust and ■ turmoil of the city, to breath a little fresh air and win back a few of tlie fresh thoughts of vonth. If many cannot if stern fate chains them day by day to their weary round of labor, their unfettered minds can yet take the wings of imagination, and like the sage we have quoted revisit “the peace ful groves.” where first great nature charmed their young vision and thus can the heart revive its ear ly lessons. lion. Jefferson Oat is. The Know Nothing presses in Mississippi, and some of the leaders of tlnvl party, have seized tiold of the fact of Mr. Davis’ connection with the Cabinet in Washington, to show that he is inelli gible to the office "f United States Senator, from the State of Mississippi, iu consequence of not 1 being an inhabitant at the time of his election. The New Orleans Picayune in noticing this mat ter, Says : ! Mr. Davis has accordingly caused a paper to be , prepared at Washington Citv, aud forwarded to ! Gov. Mcllae, showing the practice of the Govern ment in regard to these cases, and showing also a course of nearly uniform approval of the lawful ness of these elections, and defining what has come to be the legal construction of the word “in habitant” in the Constitution. The general argument propounded, and enforced at considerable length, is, that appointment of residents, or inhabitants of a State, to executive I offices under the Federal Government, is simple employing a citizen of a Slate on public business ’ temporarily; and that no person so employed loses i thereby any of his rights as a citizen in the State from which he is appointed. The precedents are j examined in detail, and they strongly corroborate the most liberal view of interpretation. The case j of Mr. Jefferson is considered to he directly in j point. Jelferson held office as Ambassador to ! France, was transferred to the office of Secretary j of State, and became successively Vice President j and President, and still was held to be an inhabi j taut of the State of Virginia, and was voted sot as i mch in Stats elections. So it was with President , Monroe aud with President John Quince Adams, 1 who both held office for a long series of years tui : der the Federal Government, within the United S Stales and iu foreign countries, without having j lost or being construed to lose their privileges as | “inhabitants" of Virginia or Massachusetts. .Mr. : Adams was elected to Congress front Massachu j setts while residing in the District of Columbia. 1 Precedents more directly in point are those of ! Mr. Levi Woodbury, of New Hampshire, and Mr. j Edward Everett, of .Massachusetts. Mr. Woodbury I was Secretary of the Treasury under the adtninis j irations of Jackson and Van Bnren, the last i named of which expired in 1841. The Legislature ! of New Hampshire elected him Senator, while he was in office at Washington, as Secretary of the ; Treasury; and he took his seat as Senator on the Ith of March, 1841, without opposition. Mr. Eve rett was Secretary of State from December, 1852, to March, 1853, and resided at Washington City! Within that time he was elected to the l nited States Senate, and took his scat without dispute. Canada.—lt would appear bv the following, I which wc extract from the Hamilton , C. W. ) Jiafi ner, that our Canadian neighbors are becoming discontented with imported Governors, and impa ; tient of his Excellency’s habits of aristocratic ex j clusiveness: | "We will have an elective Legislative Council : bill passed in a few days. We must have also an ! elective Governor. The people of Canada are in a position to choose from among themselves a man j competent to till the highest post in the country. D is time that an end was put to the abominable srsteni of sending out to Canada broken-down, characterless baronets and lords to monopolize our j most respectable situations, and to ride rough shod over the sons of the lusty yeomanry, bv whose brawny arms the resources of the country nave been developed. Last Saturday, l.ujv Head, daughters, aid-de-camp and two or three servants, : came up from Toronto bv the train on their wav to Niagara Falls. They occupied a separate car, the doors of which were locked against the Cana dian bipeds over whom Sir Edmund rules for a consideration of £7,777 7s. 7d. Moreover, the car was not only special, but superior to any other on . the train. All this invidious distinction was shown to rlie.se distinguished personages free gratis! Why should not,the wives and daughters of Ca nadians ride in the same car with Lady Head 8 Sueli exclusiveness in those who are dependent upon our country for bread, butter and social po sition, does not harmonize with the genius of Ca nadians. It is an insult to our intelligence and respectability. We remember traveling a few ; years ago in company with President Fillmore, whose position was not inferior to that of Queen Victoria or the Emperor Napoleon. He never thought of a special car; he considered that he was traveling wiili a people who were entitled to his respect, and fit to associate with him, and con ■ verse about the interests of the nation. It is not so with the greedy Heads, Metcalfs and Colbones, who have been sent out to tyranize over us, and to conspire with the family compact and greedy Bishops against our dearest rights and interests." Maine Repudiates the Maine Liquor Law.— .--'peaking of the repeal of the Maine Liquor Law by the Legislature of Maine, the Hartford Times I remarks, with great force: “ Thus has Maine, the State that originated the liquor law to which it has given a name and noto riety, repudiated the ultra statute by a decided Tote. The action of the legislature in this respect seems to reflect the popular sentiment throughout the State, audit is not likely that any future legis lature will restore the Maine law to the statute hook. Maine, the first State to try the Maine Liquor law. is the first to turn her back upon it. Us unconstitutional provisions, and its infringe ment of individual rights, prove to be of a char acter too flagrant to be endured, even in Maine.” W ashington, April 11.—Many members of Con gress will, to-morrow, bv invitation, participate in of M '.. ’* birth (lav at Han over Slash ( ottage \ n gitna Wash ington I oirespondenoe. Washington, April 10th, 1856. , The politicians m the Metropolis, both in and j out of Congress, are moving with the usual activ- j ity that precedes a Presidential nomination. The Democracy, conscious of the purity and ultimate invincibility of their principles proceed firmly, but | with unflagging ardor in the maintenance of those I great political dogmas which have come down to i us from the very cradle of our Independence, tin- ! changed, but expanding as our glorious country advances in her proud career of national progress, j Cautiously, but undaunted, our friends meet the \ combined forces now arrayed against them, in both halls of Congress; aud when, now and then, as has occurred, since the opening of the session, i the conflict lias been characterised, on the part of our friends, by unusual excitement or a more des perate resistance, it has only happened when trea son stalked boldly before them, or arrogant defi ance was hurled from the perjured lips of pseudo philanthropists. Not so, however, with the Black Republican forces. Every element of combina tion is sought for every shade of apostaev is welcome. Know Nothings, those of them who ar rogate and prostitute the title of National, are caressed, intimidated or wheedled into the service of the negro worshippers. Caucuses are held by night and by day. Northern money and northern promises are equally abundant, until it has be come but too apparent that the coming battle must be fought by the national Democracy, against the most incongruous and unnatural combinations, and that on the result are staked the Constitution and the Union. What a dastardly foe! What a noble prize! There is something refreshing in a calm review of the forces they- marshalled for the coming con test. The Black' Republicans have staked, on the result, tlieir only, last hope of disorganization and supremacy. The Know Nothings, if we nominally except the few who, like’fuiei'E and Foster,claim the irrecon cileable cognomen of national, as distinctive of their apostaev, are part and parcel of these con federated traitors. The fusion is complete, not withstanding their nominal exception, for it would be insulting to common sense, and contrary to I every principle of political ethics to suppose, for a moment, that men who gloried in witnessing the failure of our memorable and patriotic efforts to rescue the Speaker’s Chair from the desecration of Black Republicanism, and actually contributed to that infamous deed, would not betray the South still further, if called on to do so by tlieir blasphe mous, secret obligations. All these elements, “Black spirits, and white, Blue spirits and grey,” whether they are attracted into adhesion upon Fillmore, or Seward, or McLean, are combined in solid phalanx against the Democracy. On the other hand, how proudly do our banners wave over the ramparts of constitutional freedom ! How nobly do our friends rally around the altar of the Union, which it is at once our privilege and our duty to defend. If we have had to mourn over the apostaev and desertion of brethren of weak faith, have we not gained in return"? Georgia proudly answers that question, and points the Democracy of the nation to ihat gallant band that has come to the rescue under the lead of Stephens. Every State in the Union gives its quota of honest patriots to rally around the standard of the Consti tution. Party names, and party associations are forgotten in the common danger; and, with the Democracy of the country, all now turn their eyes to Cincinnati for a chief to lead us on to a glorious victory. Such is the present aspect which parties present. The result depends on an over ruling Providence, and the valor and fidelity of the Na tional Democracy. While, however, but little is done in either j House of Congress, not connected in some shape j or other with the Prcshlential race, the scene is i sometimes varied, if not enlivened, by interesting j interludes. Senator Iverson’s eloquent and unan swerable speech on the Nava! Retiring Bill, do livered March 31st., was of this character. This able argument was addressed to a motion submit ted bv that gentleman on the 50th February, and seldom has the Senate listened with more profound attention and deeper interest than it did, while the Georgia Senator dissected with skilful and practis ed hand, the late board of naval inquisitors. It is said, 1 know not how truly, that the President is now satisfied that injustice has been done to many meritorious officers, and that Judge Iverson's efforts to repair that injustice has his warmest sym puthics. What a noble representation Georgia has, during these try ing times, in both brancht * of Congress. The two exceptions may well be over looked for tliev are scarcely ever thought of when estimating the proud position Georgia occupies in both halls of Congress. Like the lost Pleiades they have become invisible amid the bright constella tions which tlieir State has placed in the firma ment of national legislation. My political teles cope, however, is keen, and I shall, therefore, con tinue to watch their course, no matter how erratic it may be. It is understood that the English and French Ministers at Washington, have actually sent orders to the commanders of theirrespcctive squadrons, to supply and land at Punta Arenas, or any other ac cessible point on the coast of Cost : Rica, a suitable number of forces, if called on by the authorities of that State, to aid in repressing the invasion of Gen era! Walker. Gov. Marcy's reply to this intel ligence is understood to have beeu n very compla cent smile of incredulity, behind which one could see slyly lurking, let them ten that gome. Letters have been received from Mr. Dallas by Mr. M ari v, but they contain nothing respecting the unsettled points between the two governments. The general impression in Washington is that the status of these questions at present is this with respect to the recruitment question, our guv i eminent will await a reasonable time for the ex j peeled communications from the British govern- II ment. Should the\ fail to come, Mr. Craufton will he setu home In regard to the Central American embroglio, the occasion will, perhaps, soon present itself, unless John Bull is the great est blusterei in the world, for bringing that ques tion to an unmistakable issue. The Connecticut election has resulted in giving the Kusionists a majority of five in the Senate and seven in the House -hut anti-Know Nothing vic tories are pouring in upon us Irom all quarters.
