From the Washington correspondence of the N. Y. Herald. Unique Letter from a Western Postmaster. , Washington, May 30, 1857. The following letter was received | by the President a few days since, and for simplicity and unsophisticatedness, exceeds anything ever retired bv this or any other administration, Through the kindness of one of the Secretaries I have been permitted to take a verbatim copy, leaving out however, the postoffice and name of the individual. There are other people in Missouri besides border ruffians and Republicans. Here is the letter:

the incursions of ignorance and super-! stiliou, under which the belief was seriously entertained and acted upon i that by some hocus pocus the wind- J ing sheet of the corpse had got into . her mouth, and that by a continual , suction (the modus operandi of which i was only known by the spirits) she 1 had actually drawn the five members , , of the family after her; and that unless this w inding sheet was speedily removed from the mouth of the i corpse she would in like manner cause the premature death of the whole connection! Incredible as a belief in such a monstrous superstition in this en-

NOT MANY YEARS AGO I Juti-nt or Proprietary Medicines were almost | unknown, but of late there ha* been brought into use an ftssorlment of them [that is. a special remedy for each disease] by Messrs. Comstock k Brother, of New York. They are entirely vegetable, and perfectly free from mercury or any other mineral poisons which are so injurious to the human constitution. Being free from such, they can be recommended us being safe remedies in all cases, without the danger of catching eoltl and endangering the lives n( tire users. Their Cherry and Lungwort, tin- roughs and colds, is unequalcd: and it will al-o cure Consumption in it- first stages. For baldness, and other diseases connected with the human hair, their Turkish Halm is equal to any in use. They arc also the Proprietors of the only genuine Carlton's ouatt s Horse and Cattle Medicines, such ns Condition Powders, OftrglingOil, Ac. THY TIIKM. For sale In mad Hi CAY INS JACKSOX.

in. Crawford Co., Mo., April 30, ’57. Mr. Bicuanan. Dear Sir: —Mr. is the Postmaster at this place, and he is gone out west, and has been gone for three or four weeks, and he has no deputy here, but I have been opening the mails and attending to it since he has been gone, as he left the key with me, and the Postmaster told me that I must make a report at the end of every month and did not tell me who 1 was to write to, but I suppose it is to you we should make our reports ns we are all citiscns of the government of which you are now President. If you arc not the right one to receive the report please drop me a few lines, letting me know who I am to write to. end I will write again. Report at the E.vd of April.— The weather is cold for the season— But notwithstanding all that we have regular mails once a week, and the people arc universally pleased with your administration; this is all 1 know that w ould interest you; if there is anything omitted in my report please let me know. My best respects to you and Mrs. Buchanan. I understand that Mr. Buchanan is so well pleased with this letter that he intends to give the writer a good office.

lightened age may appear, it is nevertheless true; for according to previous arrangements, the hired resurrectionists commenced operations on Sunday morning. The earth was removed, the coffin brought to the surface, and the lid removed under the 'direction of a committee of inspection; hut to their astonishment no winding sheet was found there—the poor deluded creatures having forgotten, in tlie zeal of their super tition, that the last shred of a piece of bleached muslin would rot away long before the expiration of nine years. With disappointment depicted in their countenances, the conmittee caused the remains to bo quickly and quietly reinterred, and then sought their respective homes ne'ain to meditate on the doctrine of spooks, goblins, and sucking corpses!— Lanra»itr Ex.

How he Lost Ills Hair. A Norfolk paper tells the following good story: Uri Osgood ami Johnathan Aiken wore on opposite sides of politics last fall, in Grundy county, and the fight between them—they were running for Congress—grew warm and desperate. One day when they mot on the stump Uri, whose bead was bald, and should therefore have been cooler, in the midst of his indignation turned upon Johnathan and said: “1 think, sir, you have but one idea in your beat), ami that is a very small one; if it should swell it would burst it.” Whereat Johnathan grew rod in the face, an<l looking for a moment at the bare and venerable bond of bis opponent, asked if bo should say what ho thought of him? “Say on,” said Uri. “Well I think you haven't one in your head, and never had; there's been one sera’ching around on the outside, trying to get in, till it lias scratched all the hair off', but it's never got in, and never will,” Uri was silent.

The Scorpion a Curt* for Ills own Poison. The Capuchin, a* wo wore conversing by the window of his apartment, put his hand incautiously on the frame, and, suddenly withdrawing it, complained of a painful puncture. A Turk, who was with us, on examinig the wall, found a scorpion of a pale green color, and near three inches long, which he crushed w ith his foot snd bound on the part affected ns an antidote to its own poison. The smart became inconsiderable after the remedy was applied; nml as no inflammation followed, soon ceased.— The sting, if neglected, produces acute pain attended with a fever, nml other symptoms for several hours; the malignancy of the virus, as it were, decaying, the patient is left gradually free. Some preserve scorpions in oil in a vial, to be used if that which commits the hostility should escape, though it seldom happens but in turning up a stone or a log another may be found to supply its place.— Chandler* Travelt in Greece.

The lute Homicide at Cairo. About one week ago we published ! an account of a fight at Cairo, which resulted in the death of one of the parties. The Cairo Times gives the following additional particulars: We give up a great portion of our space to-day to the testimony addu- 1 ccd in the case of Gallagher, who was charged with the murder of Enoch McPherson. The circumstances which brought about tiie bloody tragedy, ex liibit a degree of depravity and moral turpitude seldom equaled. It appears that Gallagher left his wifo in Cincinnati and came to Cairo to live. After having settled here, he sent for her to come down. On the w ay she made the acquaintance of the watchman of the boat, and became very intimate with him. This intimacy was kept up until a few weeks ago, when it was discovered that she intended to leave her husband and go of!' with the watchman, and the arrangement was broken up. Gallagher then determined to send her home to her friends, and retain the child—a beautiful, curly .headed little girl, about two years old. Previous to the discovery of ber intended elopement, sbe became acquainted witn McPherson, after which time she seemed to have entirely abandoned her butband, treating hin< with the utmost coolness and contempt, and was once detected in the very act of adultery with McPherson. Gallagher determined to put a stop to these things, and went down to the Hat boat, where both bad been boarding. for that purpose. From this point the evidence goes to show that Gallagher went to the boat an<l endeavored to persuade his wife to go with him, and finding she would not do so, attempted to take the child, when ho was assaulted by McP. with a knife. Gallagher fired twice at McP., who ran out on the raft followed by G. Here commenced a promiscuous fight, Gallagher giving ground until ho stepped backwards into tho river. He swam to 1 the next raft, and while climbing np on it was met by McPherson, who struck him on the head with a piece of scantland, knocking him bark into the river, lie swum to the other raft, ami before he regained his feet was again knocked down bv McP. n i He soon arose, however, ami then commence} a bloody struggle, lloth combatants were armed with knives, and they fought aclosefigbt for about five minutes, when they suddenly ceased anil turned to walk in different directions. McPherson walked about i four steps when he fell dead. He was literally covered with wounds, while Gallagher received but one sc1, vero wound—under the left arm.— Gallagher was arrested ami lodged in jail.
