THE EVENING POST. NEW-YORK: TUESDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 28. THE POSTAGE QUESTION MK. HOBBIE'S REPORT.

The Report of AnaMaal Pratmsatr Gea cal Hob-lie i aa Importaat additioB th document which UlutrUthMeMnt7ofufamiBdUU reform In oar aomomcearraaffumato. pablhm it ia thi toe. Mr. Hobbie Betiee oae differ betwtea our system and that of Groat Britain, wbh i aot favorable to cheap namely, inn ia Britain, all th Tnail routes are abort and all art productive. With aa, on tho contrary, wing to the raat aztont of our territory, and tho thinn of tha population ia porta af it, tha mail ia often earrie4 to remote places where tha postage remuneration for the azponaoftrana-portation.

Thia ia oertainly aa important diner bat Mr. Hobbio dooi not agree with tha haad of tha dapartmant, Mr. Johaaoa, in thinkisf that tSo who pay tha lattor poftag ihoold be bardaoad, ai they ia fact with thia extraordinary axpanae. The octag reoeiTod oa awiepeTS, Mr- Hobbio astimete payi only ahcat two third of tho j-njoof their traaaportatioa. Thoeo who and and reeeire lettora by man, ar charged with thediffar-ne.

There ia yet saother expenaa incurred by the pott offioe department whieh ha hitherto booa borne by thoae who pay letter postag it ia the official oor-respoadenee of govrnmnt, inclaiinf memberi of Congress. tr. Hobbio asks whether it ia fair that fingie el of pereoaf who avail themselves of the faeiliti of the maila, ahonld be charged with all thoae aspen, and whether the government ought not to pay ita own poetage aa aaindiridnal payi hia. There if good reaeon for making theee Inquiries. The coat of keeping np unproductive roatet, the cot', of transporting newipeperf, over and above the poatage aaoairod for them, and the eoat of transporting the official eorretpondenoe of the government, are estimated by Mr.

Hobbie at a million of doUan an nually. If thia ware defrayed by an appropriation of money from the treasury, letter might hereafter be conveyed and delivered for precisely what It eoeUtc transport them, instead of charging them aa they are now charged, with a tax. Relieve them of thia bar- den, and the government mail will become convenience instead of being, as Mr. Hobbie shows they now are, a contrivance to overcharge thoae who pay letter poatage. These view will, we think, oommend themselves to every man' sense of justice, bat they are very dif ferent from anything we have had from the post office department within the last aeven years.

So grateful is it to meet, in a document from this source, with a recognition of the principle of mere equity in the apportionment of letter postage, that we were at first tempted to call these view liberal, when, in fact, they are so more than barely just. The expense of transporting the mails for the next year ia estimated by Mr. Hobbie at 11,400,000. De ducting aa appropriation by Cengrea of a million of dollars for the purposes already mentioned, and three quarter of a million, which ia the amount of re ceipts from newspaper poatage, there will be left the aamof $2,650,000, to be raised on letter postage. Mr.

Hobbie shows that this amount would be raised, and barely raised, by reducing the poetage to a uniform rate of three cents a letter. A redaction to the rate of two cent on a tingle letter, which is a trifle less than the English rate of a penny, would not, he says, yield the desired amount of revenue. Considering the great extent of our territory and the magnitude of our system of mails, whieh are yet to be extended over a still wider space, he affirm that three cent on a single letter in thi country is cheaper than a penny in England. That may be, but Mr. Hobbie leave altogether out of the calculation the increase of the number of letter oonveyed, which the advocates of cheap postage maintain would be the result of cheap rates.

It is scarcely possible that the author of the report whieh we are considering, should hare been inattentive to this consideration, we can only suppose that he considered it as of too indefinite a nature to be made the basis of any certain estimate. We, however, who hare no reason for such circumspection, and who feel eonSdsnt that the number of letters passing through the post offioe would be multiplied by an immediate reduction to the lowest reasonable rate, to a degree that would surprise even Mr. Hobbie, must be excused if we still maintain that if a rate of three cent would pay the cost of carrying and delivering the letter now conveyed by mail, a rate of two cent would amply defray the cost of transporting and delivering the increased number that would be mailed under that still lower rate of postage. Mr. Hobbie' report contain an elaborate statement of the arrangement of the English mail system which is quit valuable, but which is not capable of abridgement.

Many of the arrangements, he advises, should be adopted in thi country, both for facilitating, and simplifying the business of the post office, and for securing a thorough accountability in the deputy postmasters. Many of them also furnish important accommodation to the public. Gemial Taylor on Slavery. The other day a letter from F. L.

Clair borne, of Natchez, was published, relating a conversation held between General Taylor and Judge S. S. S. Boyd, of Mississippi, in which the General wa made to lay that if the north Insisted upon the prohibition of slavery in the territories, be wa in favor of drawing the sword and throwing away the scabbard. The Natchei Courier denies this, and says "lu the conversation that occurred between Gen.

Taylor and Judge Boyd on the subject of slavery, sot one word, as understood Judge Boyd to say, was uttered, having reference to the Wilmot proviso, slavery in the territories, or any other question growing out of the subject of slavery in the states, farther than that concerning the right of property ia slaves, in slave ttatn. General Taylor said that if theaortA-era fanatic attempted to interfere with that, he wa in favor of drawijg the svord and throwing away the scabbard. He said nothing further concerning the alave question." Mr. Claiborne also ha written a letter to A. G.

Brown, in which he say I may have used stronger language than I should have done, in the haste in whieh 1 generally write. Ofnrral Taylor, in hit conversion with Judge Boyd, did not mention the word territoriet, and rpoke entirely of our right, under the eomtitution in tkt time ttatet. He expressed no opinion aa to the propriety or extending slavery into the new territories, or of restrict ing it to its present limits. It is well understood here that the General studiously avoids indicating the views en this exciting So it seems that General Taylor, so far as he ha hitherto expressed himself, is only for showing fight, if the northern fanatic attempt to interfere with the right of property in the slave states. Even in that case, we would remind General Taylor that there is no need whatever of resorting to the sword.

There are peaceful means of asserting whatever rights the laws of the slave states, or the federal constitution, secure to the cit'nen court and juries, sheriffs and constables, will take care of them without an appeal to arms. When we had written thus far supposed that had arrived at something positive, and that whatever General Taylor' opinion might be on the question of slavery in the territories, he at least had not yet made them public. But the following passage from a southern paper puts every thing at loose ends again. We find it in the Baltimore Republican and Argus, whioh extract it from a letter written by one whom it call the excellent New Orleans Corres pondent of the Concordia Intelligencer On the slavery question, a whig of high standing, ttrictly southern tn hie opinion on this point, a large nlanter. who took an active Dart in his favor, and has freely conversed with him tinet the election, says, his views are unexceptionable be is posted up right.

1 rejoice to announce it. On thi question General Taylor may save the Union, formed by compromise. not to ot preservea sy concession. Thi is what they say or General Taylor in New Orleans the ttrictiy toutkem whig, that is, the whin like Mr. Berrien and the rest who vote ia Congress for the extension of slavery to the territories, aver that his views are unexceptionable, and that he is posted up right." of CavS Johnson.

The Postmaster General in hi annual report, it will be remembered by our readers, denounced in strong term the practice 01 perverting the patronage of the post-office te party uses. Mr. Johnson, however, preaches one doctrine, and practices according to another. The hypocrisy of his professions was flagrant enonghwhen his report nrst appeared recent disclosures add to its enormity. Read the following from the Albany Atlas "We spoke not long since of the removal of the postmaster at Camillua for opinion's sake.

The Niagara Cataract supplies us with another ease of prescription, ainee election, which we lay before our readers as an illustration of the peculiarity of the Postmaster General's mind, his eonsistenoy, his manliness, bis democraev.

The curve hi Canal street is being completed under the personal fuperiBtendenes of the Chief Engineer, CesrreswwavaWaee oaf (ha aVwamlaC Wasbikotok, Dee. JS, 1848- I The priaeipal subject of eoaversatiea this awning is the Caucus of soathara members of Congress held ia the Senate chamber last vaing. It is understood that the meeting originated oeJy day before eater-day with Mr. Foota, the eUataagaiahed representative of Mississippi a the Senate, aad the Immediate exciting eaass is said te have beea the passage of the anti-slave trafficking resolution ia this diatriot by the Hoase en Wednesday last.

I understand that there war aboat sixty member present, which ia one half a ataa Senator Talee less than a majority, or a meiotj of the aggregate number of southern members of both branch of Congress, which i one hundred and twenty-oae. Senator Metcalf, of Kentucky, was placed ia the chair, and Mr. enable, ef North Caro. Una, was made secretary. Very little has beea as certained of the proceeding.

It is understood that nothing definite was resolved upon as to the desired anion of the south, offensive and defensive, against the union of all the states. A series of resolutions, very mild and deprecatory, are said to have been adopted, and a committee of one from each state was appointed, of whioh Judge Stephens, of Georgia, ha been selected as chairman. They ar to prepare an address to the people of the south oa the present crisis. The caucus was adjourned to the 15th of January next, with tha understanding that the committee shall be then ready to report ita address. in regard to the effect of thi movement, the pre.

vailing opinion is that nothing of practical impor tance will remit from it beneficial to the cause to (up- port which it wa undertaken. It will not materially alter the position of the south ia Congress; for, as to her representative here, they are, and have al ways been, thoroughly united, and they cannot take, far leai maintain, a position more aggressive than that of the extension of slavery, as distinguished from it mere preservation within established limits. There was a fair appearance of union and concert of intention, if not of sentiment, in the caucus, but the individual jealousies and the differences of opinion which are known to exist among southern men on the subject of slavery, will make their appearano whea a definite 'course of acti-sn is proposed when specific measures come up for discussion. What sort of concord eaa there be between Metcalf, Stephen and Gentry, upoa ene side, aad Calhoun, Berrien, Rhett and Foot, on the other 1 I wish it to be noticed, that I do not vouch for the correctness of the rumors I have above given in reference to the proceedings of the caucus. The member wheattended it, are naturally reserved in speaking to northern men about it, and they ar the more so at this time, because nothing decided wa done, The Senate wa not in cession to day, and the best part of the hour and half daring which the House continued together, was paased in attempt to adjourn without doing anything at all.

The remainder of th time wa spent in debating a private bill, appropriating a sum of money in payment of a negro alave lost ia or about New Orleans during the late war. If any action of the government in such a case were necessary, it might be presumed to be, that it ihoold order a pension to be paid to his widow or children but the proposition is, to pay the man' matter for the loss of the negro man' life. I am happy to say, that there i no probability of that proposal being agreed to. PUBLIC KOBBIRY LEQALIZED. Toward the close of yesterday' sitting, occurred another of those scandalous exhibition of profligacy and demoralisation, in the House of Representatives, which have brought it character for common honesty into such disrepute within a few year.

About ten years ago, as near as I can now recollect, the practice was commenced of distributing among the members of the Senate and House costly works upon politics, finance, and other subjects more or less appertaining to th science of government, all paid for out of the publio treasury. It was alleged in palliation of the first act of this kind, that the books to be distributed, though valuable, were on hand, and a mere incumbrance to the store-rooms of the eapitol. This was but a pretence at first, but it utter falsity has never been thoroughly exposed by the published proceedings of either house. Now, however, it ba come to be shown, so a to be made plain to the most interestedly obtuse intellect. By a resolution passed near the winding up of the last session, the clerk wa directed to furnish each mem ber who had not served before, with book estimated to cost six hundred and twenty-two dollars, and to each member who had served, a many of those books as he had not been previously supplied with.

That Is to aay, the addition which ha been made thi year to the list of book stolen in former years wa considerable, and that addition was to be made good to the old member. Next year, unless public indignation be sufficiently excited against this gross abuse in the meantime, another addition will be made to the list, of a hundred dollar or so. But it was provided in th resolution spoken of that none of these books should be printed at public expense, or be purchased, if they should not be found to be on hand, as they were alleged to be. Well, the clerk set about complying with the resolution, and he found that the government did not posies the books, and that he could net obtain them without baying them of the document-mongers along the avenue. He reported the facts to the House, and they being referred to the committee on printing, that committee yesterday made a report ending with a resolution that the clerk be authorized and direct ed to purchase the books, or to get them by any means and at any cost.

A lively discussion at once sprang up on it. Mr. Wentworth, Mr. Cocke, Mr. McLane, and others, showed, in th clearest and moat convincing manner, that members frequently never received these book that though important and valuable to the political student and antiquarian, they were mere ponderous lumber to the mass of men who served their country in these hall and that they sold their right to receive them to booksellers in Washington, for less than two hundred dollars, and those same booksellers and document dealers took the receipts for the books to the clerk of the House, who paid to the bearers of the same seven or eight hundred dollars, without io much a a volume of the books being seen or known in the course of the transaction.

What is thi but swindling the government 1 With what face can such men pre sume to inquire into, rebuke, or punish the grossest corruption that could possibly be practised or at tempted by the most unprincipled and daring officer in the executive branches of government. The gan grene has entered into the core of the legislature. The fountain of public morality and purity Is polluted, and the whole body politio i in danger of becoming a running sore. Yet, in the face of such ar guments, plainly aad forcibly presented, the resolution was paiied without a dosea vote in the nega tive. All attempt to get a vote by yea andnayi failed.

The only answer made to these allegations of fraud, wa "I want the book" "1 want the book." have a very desirable change of weather to day ia passably cold. Thi morning there wa even to be found over the street kennel a shining covering of ice, the eighth of an inch thick. The House ha adjourned to Wednesday, the Sen ate to Tuesday. 1 he Supreme Court ha also ad journed to Tuesday. On that day John Van Buren will address the court in relation to the tax case, in behalf of the state of New York.

Business, however, is very dull, and the demand for money oi course limited, and money stocks fancy and solid-hare had a considerable fall since Monday, the 18th instant. A I informed you some short time sis.ee, the "free soil" men are increasing very fast I have hardly met a consistent republican, of any standing or influ ence, who doe not cheerfully agree to go in for the principles of that party against any extension of slavery, and against longer truckling to the south. The continued pro-slavery oourse, in Congress, of Charles J. IngersoU, Charles Brown, and Richard Brodhead, has created a good deal of indignation here, and can only be accounted for by their having leave from their constituents to retire to private life, and their expectation of receiving office or patronage from the government. Jt is no leas strange, than true, that some of our prominent old hunkers, in office, are trying te be kept in under General Taylor's administration, and their friends are busily engaged in obtaining signatures to memorials for that purpose, and are even soliciting the names of barnburners and whig.

It appear that some mea think they cannot live out of office. Great preparations are still made to open the new opera house, at the southeastern corner of Seventh and Chesnut streets, and th building was lighted up for the first time on Saturday evening but, when it attracted great attention. Every kind of amusement is greatly encouraged here at present, and the dull ness of business seems not to prevent the citizens from fully enjoying themselves at these anniversary holi days. The publication of the excess of mileage charged the government, by member of Congress, ha mad quit a sensation. The representative ot the people who refuse to pay se many just claims, petitioned for, should be more particular about a matter ia whieh aot only their honor, but their integrity ia deeply con earned.

Sixty-two thousand on hundred and five dollars and twenty cents, paid to members of Con gress for excess of mileage, would pay the claim of many a widow aad orphan, who have been knocking at the doors of Congress ia vain, for more thaa quarter of a century.

News from thi Gold Mike. Ia the Washington Union of Saturday, there is a letter from the Assistant Quartermaster at Saa Francisco, ia California, dated September 13th, which contains some particulars of much interest respecting the goldmine and stale of things in California.

The following is a price current furnished by the writer "This was the condition of thinn about three months sine, and. under its inflaeace, thia villa was almost absolutely deserted, it had beea one or the most bustling little places I ever saw, and ia a few dsn it became a desert. Two or three mer chant and a few soldiers eonstitated the male popu lation. Recently, however, there has bees a reae-tieo, which brings many back front lb aainea, and aa active emigration is flowing in from abroad. Sickness has broken oat among the miners, and ma-ay have returned prostrated with fevers, while other have come to avoid being so.

There is mow a large number of laborers here, bat maay of theoa refuse to work oa any term, while thoee who labor do ae at exorbitant prices. The ordinary eompensatioa for white laborer is from fe6 to tlO cer dar. I am now payine these rices for men I am forced to employ for repairing the government lighter and uiacuavrgiD; me snip nuiifii, now in ion port. At the same time everv thinr ia hisrh ia oronortion. Butter sells by the barrel at $1 per and Lams at the same price flour is 123 per barrel, and pilot bread forty cents per lb.

For the last three pair of Boots i nave bad, 1 have paid respectively IIS, $14, and 12 per pair. Other things ar atoorresponding price in this place, but at the mine every thing is much higher. Flour and pork vary in the mines from $40 to (200 per barrel. Common shoos, worth in Boston about 75 cent per pair, sell at $3 or even $12 per pair. There is a kind of recklessness about these price whieh would be sought after in vain in any other part of the world.

I law a Jox of aeidliti I I 11 powuen, wonn niiy oenu lu cau rrancucu, sow ui the mines for $24 in grain gold, and wa credibly informed that brandy had been sold at $43 per bottle. The writer thus describes the state of the weather at the mine in mid-summer. I wa in the mine about the 1st ef July. At that time the weather there was insufferablv hot. think it by far the most oppressive climate I ever was in.

It is much more uncomfortable than the climate of Brazil at the warmest season of the year, and every thing wa literally parched np after a drought, which had been continued for near three month, and which had fire month more to run to the rainy season. The sea breezes, which extend np the valley of tne Sacramento, never pa tne Sierra evaua, ana seldom nenctrate even the lateral valleys and ravine of those mountains and there was not a breath ef air movinr amona- the mines. The sun was blazing down with more than tropical fervor, while his rays were reflected in ten tnousana amotions irem in sides of the bills, the atmosphere glowed and glimmered like the air in a turn ace. men laresaw (what has since haDoened) that there would be muck sickness amontr the miners. These doodU had de serted their regular occupations, and a complete change of life and an unnatural climate ejuld not fail to act unfavorably upon neaitn.

1 neir aies was oaa, their labor were severe, and they were exposed completely without shelter in the daytime to a burning son, aLd at night to the chilly atmosphere of the mountains. Many of them worked with their feet in tha water, and inflamed their blood in a feverish cli mate by a free use of ardent spirits. The natural oonseauence followed. Manv are now sick with bili ous and intermittent fevers, dysenteries, oamp fevers, arc." The extent of the mining region, according to the best information possessed by the inhabitant, thus stated The extent of these volden denoiite it is impossi ble to conjecture. Gold has been found one hundred and fifty miles above putter ort it is dug great quantities at almost all points along Feather, Juba, and Bear river, and upon the American Fork and all its tributaries, upon the Cosumnes and Stanislaus rivers, and upon both side of the San Joaquin riser.

It ha been found at Bodega, on the sea-coast, and at various points in the chain of mountains which separates the waters flowing into the San Joaquin from those which enter the Pacific a far south as Ciudad de le Angele. It ha also been found in considerable quantities in the earth of th plain near the Mission of Santa Clara. It is thus known to exist through out a region of country of more than six hundred niiles in extent, and it probably extends into Oregon. "Therojere subject upon which on cannot write the truth without exciting inoredulity, and it is with great diffidence that 1 shall attempt to speak ef the richness of the mines. I went to them in the most skeptical frame of mind and came away a believer.

From all that I can learn as to similar deposites of gold elsewhere, I believe these to be the richest placer mines in the world. 1 am satisfied, from personal observation, that active workmen can get from $25 to $4U per day, estimating the gold at $lb per ounce, troy. Many instances are known of person having obtained from $300 to $1000 in a day for each man. 1 am meeting person daily in this place wno nave been absent less than three months, and have returned with from $2000 to $5000 in gold dust. While among the mines 1 collected a large number of facts, from wbich tne following are taken at random a a specimen.

"On the most southerly tributary of the American Fork, sixteen miles from the main stream. 1 saw Messrs. where Neilly and Crowlv eot with six men in six days ten and one naif pounds of gold, avoirdupois weignt. In tne bottom of a dry ravine ot tne same stream, Messrs. Daly and McCooms removed with a party of Indians and white men 17.UUO in two days, and Willi-in two hundred yards of the main stream.

From an other dry ravine, within a few rods of the last men tioned, it is said -that $30,000 were collected in three days. Mr. C.S. Lyman.aclergyman.unaccustonicd to labor, informs me tnat ne got sou lor about nve hours work each dav. M.

Vaca. a New Mexican, who resides about thirty miles trom butters, told me that he, with four other men, got seventeen pounds of gold, avoiidupois weight, in seven days. I saw the cold. Major Cooper, lace of Missouri, with two men and one boy, got $1,000 in two days. "Mr.

Sinclair had been engaged in digging gold about five weeks, with a party of Indians numbering about forty, sometimes more and sometimes less. He rave his Indians meat, sugar, coffee, flour, and rice, and they ate three times per day. They were mostly wild Indians, and worked attngetner wun pans, in five weeks, after paying all his Indians and the ear- rent expenses of the party, he had $17,000, er upwards of ninety pounds, troy weight, of gold dust. The gold was shown. Mr.

Noma and one companion took trom a dry ravine, not far from those already mentioned, $3,000 in two days, and the dirt was packed on horses more than two hundred yards to in water. Mr. Aaron An eland got from hi own labor, in twenty consecutive davs after hid arrival at the mines. 200. But 1 might go on stating fact like these until 1 should tire yeur patience.

Some idea of the amount of tha force employed in mining, can be formed from the following statements of what was done last July When in the mining country I endeavored to ob tain what information the miner and others could afford to the value of the mines and the number of people employed in them. J. he lowest estimate I heard made of the workmen was 3,000, including both whites and Indian but thia number wa augunient-ed by daily accessions from all part of California, from Oregon and Sonora, and from the Sandwich Islands, mere nas ueen suca a urain irom mo Islands that there is scarcely a mecuanio left at Hono lulu. The same likely to be the case in Oregon, as every veaaal comes in from there crowded and we hear of a large overland emigration Among the people engaged in the mines, however, there are many runaway sailors, deserters from the army, trappers and are naturally idle, dissipa- dissolute, in snurij lukcu iu tue sggrcgaMi, the miners are tbe worst kind oi lanonng population. 1 have asked for estimates of the average gains of all thA miners at work in the eold regions, including both whites and Indians, and have never heard them stated at less tbsn six dollars a day for each person.

I believe, taking these minimum estimates as data, I am fully (ustitied in concluding that, daring the year commencing July 1, 1848, there will be $5,500,1 (MM) removed from the mines, reckoning the ounce troy at $16. This sum is considerably greater, according to MoCulloch's Commercial iictionary, than th total amount oi gold taken irom au too mines iu the United States for the fifteen years ending in 1838 and it is nearly three times as great as tne entire gold coinage of the United States mint and all its branches for the same years." The prospect before the country, under such cir cumstance, and the condition of things there at pre sent, is briefly alluded to It in imnossible to foretell what will ba the ulti mate result of thia sudden development of wealth. It is sufficiently obvious, however, that the country will be prematurely ntiea oy a resuess, excitaoie, auven-tnmna and reckless copulation, and that extended ag- rinltiiral or mechanical improvements are at an end for some years to oome. Gambling and all sort of thoughtless prof us ion begin to prevail. J.

he present excitement will attract vast number of the idle, vicious and disolute. Refugees from justioe from the United States, as well a other countries, will flock to California among the better disposed population, and will find shelter among tne aiinosv macveasioie uut-nesses of the mountains, where such mines of wealth are now opened. These regions are of vast extent, iH mmntefrom the regular settlements and from the operations of the laws, in tne solitary recesses of the Sierra Nevada are little clusters of men, with nothing but the trees for their covering, and no protection but their own vigilance and strength. Many of these people are known to possess very large a- mounts OI gold sometimes a mutu a ew.uw in their blankets. Where there is no eye to see and no agent to pursue the guilty, ia it strange.

BROOKLYN. To-day and to morrow the Brooklyn ladle hold a fair in aid of the fund to be raised for re-building the First Baptist church in that city, burned down last summer in th great fir. The Fip.e at Willuhsburoh. In relation to the fire which we noticed in Saturday's paper as having occurred at Williamsburgh, we learn that the name of tbe German was Henry Striel, in the employ of Mrs. Christiana Cudot, the widow lady, in whose employ ho was a manufacturer of fireworks, and that in attempting to save her, perished with her.

The crisped remains of both have been recovered. The mutilated condition of the latter, and other at tending circumstances, gave rise to a report that she was murdered previous to the fire but it is believed she must have been instantly lulled by the explosion of powder from under her dwelling. A man named Samuel Brown and his wife are under arrest on suspi cion of being in some way connected with this tragi cal affair. Mrs. Cadet was bed-ridden at the time of th fire, suffering from injuries received from him and he wa to hav been brought np to-day, to answer for charge of assault and battery.

It appears that Mrs. C. manufactured fireworks for a man in Chatham street, in this city, and as she engrossed the business to the exclusion of Brown, he entertained a malignant jealousy toward her, and had sworn he would be re venged. We understand Stnel wa a worthy man. and has relative in Baltimore.
