THE TIMES.

Iot Office thnngM, !

We have assayed a salutary reform In that branch of the public most 0r the extraordinary statements of this letaervice was certain. Two men of more unques-' ter but how much of the following is dross, tioned devotion to the principles of the great ' am now mucj, pure j, t)e intelligent reader party which triumphed last November, could , is as competent to judge as we: not be found; and while Judge Collamer would . . . -The fact is, the dust comes down doubtless prefer to 'proscribe proscription,' he is ' from ,he mne by the pecki pnre g0,d, , not the man to be duped into believing, that bill for our table to-day ran thuswise: butter this is to be done by leaving the public offices j S1.

one worth having in the hands of the defeated party, he is the last man to be convinced that justice, principle, or sound policy, required the continuance of all that army in office, to the exclusion of those who have been systematically proscribed and excluded for nearly the whole of the last twenty years. We infer this from the character and acts of the new Postmaster General, who is a man of few words, but whose views are indicated by his deeds. Semewhal abrupt in manner and decided in opinion, Judge Collamer brought to the country's service an integrity which malice never ventured to doubt, a rare vigor of intellect and acquaintance with the legislation and business of the government, such as few have been enabled to acquire, comiined with habits of industry and application, Bucli as are seldom equalled and hardly ever surpassed, lie may or may not ba popular with those whose business constrains them to make drafts upon his time and attention, but that his Department will be cenducted with signal and generally conceded efficiency, we cannot doubt. Col. Warren, the new Second Assistant, has been hitherto less widely known than his chief, and some of the malignity, which it would be simply absurd to vein upon Jui!ge Collamer, has been freely showered upon him. It amounts to about this that Col. Warren was once unfortunate in business in Massachusetts, and has been a sore trouble to the Loco Foeos in Iowa since he removed thither. Thus stripped of their false gloss, the charges may very likely be true. We understood some time since, that the

Our first Presi- : dent, Washington, was not quite so accessible.) At the commencement of hia term, when he! held his levees, thero was an U6her, who threw ! open a pair of folding doors, when Washington ' came forward, and the nsher called aloud J "George Washington, President of the United. States." The manner of Washington was re served, and rather distant. fcr Gen. Taylor has refused to restore to the Naval service the two midshipmen dismissed by Mr. Polk for being engaged in a duel. The Secretary of the Navy, iu Cabinet meeting (says a Washiuglon correspondent) Informed the President that he had read the petition, and . considered that the midshipmen ought not to be restored. So thought the cabinet. "I am very glad of it," said the President, "for if the whole , cabinet had thought otherwise, I would not. have consented to re-appoint these gentlemen. I hate duels, I hate fighting, I hate wars, and j will have no duelling men about me, if I can he!p it." (rrat I-oao of Life. A slip bas been received from the office of the New London Chronicle, stating that a letter was; received at that port yesterday morning, from ' Capt. Brown, of ship Hannibal, from St George's , Bay, coast of Patagonia, Dec. 1, which reports' many wrecks strewed along the shore ships,' brigs, and cutters, principally English. Among them was found the name of " Emma, of New London," on a board. Much guano which had been bagged and piled up was spoiled. Cant. 1 Brown writes, that he heard there were about one thousand men lost here! There is no har- ' bor, except under the island of Pova, where the"' Hannibal lay, outside of the mouth of the bay,' and shelter sufficient for one or two ships. i Boston Journal Kigaifirant I art.

He sold it for five hundred dollars! To-day, some Oregon farm-' ers, who came down to obtain gold, and remain ed a month at the mines, offered to sell me 150 pounds or gold, which they had collected. Mr. Brannou, who has the establishments for storing and selling goods at the niine9 told me to-day' that seven men took from the earth, within one hundred yards of his upper store, thirty-three ; thousand dollars' worth of gold in four days; ' and the gold was weighed by a man in his employment. At the dry diggings, one hundred dollars per day is paid to cooks. The general j tT irom ten to twenty m iiiions wil aken from the mines the coming summer.

jo.. ,i i ,. , , After the election was over, and I saw the President surrounding himself with a cabinet composed of such men as John M. Clayton and Thomas Ewing, I doubted no longer as to the w nig tendencies of the Government. I gladly believe that it cannot be any thing else but Whig;, nor do I believe Gea- Taylor to be any thing else but a WThig. And while the Administration is carried on as it is begun we are, as Whigs, as Clay Whigs, bound to sustain it without reserve. (Hearty Applause .) Allow me also a prediction: Henry is about to return to the Senate. And in thut scene of his early triumphs and of his maturer power, I tell you, fellow citizens, there will be found no more sincere, no abler advocate and champion of this present Administration than Henry Clay of Kentucky. (Great apptausa.) And now I trust, that as a Clay man, I am understood, I intend to make no factious opposition. I had never such an intention. If the Convention had nominated Clayton.Criltenden, Corwin, McLean yes, even Daniel Webster, I fchould have supported him with all my humble ability and Influence. But as it is, let us not forget our doubts as to the hero who has been chosen, and shaking hands together on one common platform, rejoice in the success of Whig principles. (Applause.) From the Bodton Traveller. A mother BnTing Her Children. At twelve o'olock, last night, afire broke out in the fancy goods store of J. W. Ezekiel. No. 385, Washington street, nearly opposite the Adams House. There was a family sleeping over the store, who were awakened by the alarm. At this time the smoke was ponring up the stairs to such an extent as to render escape by that means next to impossible. The mother, therefore, raised the window, and lowered five of her children, who were caught by persons in the street. The youngest of the children was about four months, and the eldest about nine years of age. After this the mother remembered that a young girl, 1? years of age, was bleeping in one of the upper rooms. She, weU up, aroused her, saw her out safely, and then jumped out herself, and almost immediately Taiuted away. She was taken into the Adams House and every thing done for her comfort, but it was nearly an hour before she regained her consciousness. The children were also cared for a t the Adams House. Questionable Renevoleaee. During a late war, a Quaker was on board an American ship engaged inclose combat with an enemy s. He preserved his peace principles calmly until he saw a stout Britton climbing up the vessel by a rope which hung overboard seizing a hatchet, the Quaker looked over the side of the ship and remarked "Friend, if theo wants that piece of rope thee may have it," when suiting the deed to the word, he cut off the rope, and down went the poor fellow to his long watery home! Cincinnati and the Iake. The cars of the Little Miami and Mad River Railroads have commenced their regular Spring and Summer trips. They leave Cincinnati and Sandusky at 5 o'clock la the morning, and run through , both ways the same day , a distance of two hundred and eighteen miles. The Lake is now open to Buffalo. Eaton Register, April 1 9th. Manic of Kpriag. "There's music In the balmy breath Of spring, when from the realms of death She calls the flowers to Ufa again, And decks with gorgeous hues the plain, Then wakes to notes of harmony The grove's enchanting minstrelsy. There's music in the murmur low Of gentle waters rippling by There's music in the onward flow Of rivers in their majesty. There'B music in the bubbling fountain There's music on the sun-bathed mountainThere 's music on the earth There's music in the air And music into birth Is bursting every where." O Hon. James Whitcomb, U S. Senator from Indiana, passed through this city yesterdap on his way home. 'Old Jin;, as he is styled iu the IIo osier State, looks improved in health; and looks aa if the atmosphere of the Capitol of the Union agreed with him much better than that of the Capitol of Indiana; and, setti ng honors aside, he has evidently gained in flesh at least by the transfer. He looks satisfied with himself, the people of the Union in general, and the people of Indiana in particular every boby except Hon. E. W. McGaughey. Notwithstanding his opposition to the Kx-Governorof 'MrxsTesTO, like 'Old Father G zimes, that good old man,' he evidently has 'No malice in his mind, No ruffle on his shirt.

One evening, as E iward Morris was walking across the green with his mother, he caught sight of Charles Seyton, one of his school fal lows; aud putting into his mother's hand a small baket, filled with fruit, which they were taking to a poor sick woman, he was about lo run 08", exclaming, "O! mother, there is Charles S- ton!

We often meet her as we go to school, 'he is quite silly. She ii as tail as you, and yet Charles Seyton says that she cannot count ten. She is an idiot, mother. She lias no more s?umthan a baby." "And what fun can you have with her, my dear boy? Poor thing! she is greatly to be pitied." "Oh! it is so droll, mother, to see th- pission we can put her iuto sometiai".
