We are indebted to a gentleman in the General Land Office, says the National Intelligencer, for the information given below, which is important both to non-resident owners of public lands and thoe who propose to purchase, but which many may be ignorant of that is to say: By an act of Congress approved the 26th January, 1S17, the a.ent of government w as given to the several States admitted into the Union prior to the 21th April, 120, to impose a tax or taxes upon all the lands thereafter fold by the United States in (-aid States from the day of such sale. The States admitted prior to that date are Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Alabama, Mississippi, und Louisiana. Indiana has already, by legislation, availed heiself of that permission, and doubtlessly the other States soon will. Prior to the passage of this act lands paid for in cash were not taxable for five years after the date of the sale, and those located by "Late War" Warrants until thiee years from date of patent. Can it be True? We have understood, from good tuthority, that many of our citizens have been charged fuur cents each upon advertised letters by our present Postmaster. Formerly only half this amount was charged, and if our recollection is not at fault, there has been no law passed authorizing the Postmaster to double that amount. Will that gentleman elighten us upon this subject? Pitts. Post. The Louisville Democrat copies the foregoing paragraph, and replies : ''Certainly it can be true. Under a Democratic administration the letter list was advertised in one paper generally. Now, to feed party papers, the Postmaster-General orders the letter? to be advertised in two papers, and without regard to law, specifies the papers in which the advertising is to be done. The people have to pay four centa instead of two. What's the u?e of making a fuss about it? The Whigs must be paid for their honesty!" Wiirr? Policy in a Whig State. It ii announced in the Wilmington (Delaware) papers that Constable Moody, of that city, trill sill Jeremiah Robiubon and Alfred Caldwfll.on Wednesday next, to the highest bidder, for a term not exceeding 6even years, in order to raise the restitution money and costs imputed on them by the Alayoi's Court. This is the State where the wlnp-pin-posi is still iird as one of the means of pu uishuR'iit. When Major Noah tr.rained to put Delaware into Ii.s breeches pocket, it uiUt have been on account of the cou.eiijpubl. opinion lie had ot some '1 of us laws a id iaw-makers CCf-Art-Uuions are rapidly gaining popularly, and deservedly so. The Western Art-Union has purchased and framed thir-ty-eiht o.l painting, of the first character as works of art; and they have now on hand lur distribution in November next eventv-five pictures. The list will be increase as soon as good selections can be made. Dr. F. Crumbaugh has been appointed honorary secretary of this Society, who has some verv handsome specimens to exhibit. We publish in another column ' the plan of the Western Art-Union. j ftT" Business prevented our witnessing the pnTorniances cf the Brothers Antonio at the A polio Saloon last night. Oui "Bub" was there, though, and he reports the Brothers Antonio to be "owc" and "Bub" is a judge of such things. The New Albany Ledger aud the Madiion Banner speak very highly of the performances of the Brothers Antonio. fXrThe following are the Democratic nominations for the ensuing election in Michigan: For Governor, John S. Barry; for Lieut. -Governor, William Fenton; for State Printer (the office occasioning the most of the excitement in State Fo ivies for several months past), R. W. Ingalls. Barn Bcrnt. Vm. Hamlet's barn, with all its contents, savs the Goihen Democrat, was burnt to the ground on Sunday the Jih inst., while himself and family were absent at meeting. The origin of the fne is not known. Loss-abcst gtl.r0. Govenor of Oregon. We learn from the Cincinnati Enquirer that Mr. Lincoln, late Representative in Congress for the Springfield District, Illinois, haa been appointed Governor cf Oregon by President Taylor. Mr. Hamilton, of Ohio, has the nppoint.vm of Lieutecani-Govrrncrv

Later from Hatti. Capt. CsJ!t, of the brig Hayti, arrived at New York on the 15th from Port au Prince the 31 inst., confirms the previous account that President Soloque had been declared emperor, under title of Faustin First, Emperor of Hayti, one and indissoluble. Great rejoicings hod taken place, which were kept up for a week. He was to have been crowned on the 17th inst. A list of the nobilityprinces, dukes, lords, barons, Arc. would be named in a. few days. The monopoly remained the same. The Coffee crop was finished. The Hayti, at four o'clock on the morning of the 13th instant, waa run into by a light top-sail schooner, coming down before the wind, which carried away her jibboom, knocked her cut-water nearly off, and done her much damage. The brig

commenced leaking badly, and Capt. Cutts, I thinking she would sink, requested the 1 schooner to lay by him until morning, but he paid no attention to this. The pumps going continually would barely keep her free. She wa3 towed up in the afternoon by the steamer Duucan C. Pell. Pumps. There is no article in domestic economy so useful or convenient as the pump. The manufacture of this article has been brought to such a degree of perfection that a good pump, with a sufficient quantity of lead pipe, may be had and screwed on the top of a cistern-box for about seven dollars. Why should not tenants have a pump in their cisterns as well as a stove in their sitting-rooms and for the same reason, viz: economy and convenience? Any one can satisfy himself of the correctness of this by calling at the extensive hardware store of R. E. Lee, MainCross street, where pumps, as well as all sorts of hardware, can be had cheap. 07The New Albany (Indiana) Ledger comes to us this week in the place of the New Albany Democrat, edited by Messrs. Kent & Norman. The Ledger is printed with new type, from the foundry of Horace Wells, Cincinnati. We cordially welcome the Ledger among us as a co-laborer in the good cause, and wish the editors every imaginable, auccess. At the same time we are sorry to part with the New Albany Democrats. Tutors. Several young ladies from the East were at the Broadway Hotel, Cincinnati, on Satuiday last, on their way to the Cherokee Nation, where they intend to form schools and engage in their direction. Murder. A farmer named John P. Harvey was kii;?d near the edge of Tippecanoe county, three or four miles northwest of the Battle-ground, on Saturday the 15th inst, by a young man named Thornton Clt-venger. 07-Robert Walsh, United States Consul at Paris, has been removed by the administration, according to the Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune. Pacinc Railroad Convention. The time is near at hand for the Convention, and already the committee of twenty-five have advices that a large number of delegates will be in attendance. The committee of invitation have received responses from various parts of the Union, from i many of the most eminent men-of the day. In every communication thus far received the; liveliest interest is expressed iu behalf of the propo- J sition, and judging from the tenor of the communications, there is every reason to believe that many of the distinguished men of the country will be present, and with regard to numbers it will be equal to, if not greatly exceed, any Convention ever held in the West. St. Louis Republican. A Jcst Rksl-ke. The. brutal attack of the Washington Republic upon Mr Bancroft, our distinguished American Minister to London, proves that the editors of that journal have no ambition to commend their writings to the regard of decent or intelligent men. The New York Mirror, a very decided and able whig Taylor paper, rebukes this attack in the following indignant terms: The Washington Republic has an article attempting to exalt Mr. Brodhead and ta ridicule Mr. Bancrotf. We think it signally fails in both efforts; and we cannot see that any capital is like to be made by abusing a roan, who is generally acknowlebged to have been one of the best Secretaries of the Navy we have ever had, by all the veterans of the service. Tha article in the Republic is both ungenerous and uagentlemaniy. Pennsylvanian. IT The "Alta Californian," published at San Francisco, is in a flourishing condition.

Flaw or the Wiiti At-Uux- The Westera Art-Union was established in the city of Cincinnati, i the Spring of 1S17, and incorporated by aa act af the Legislature ef tha State af O&i during the session of 164 8. After two years of successful experimeat the directors of this institution feel at liberty to congratulate the public oa the permanent establishment in the Western country of this popular system of promoting a knowledge and love of Art. And in entering on the duties of the third year, they would state that it is their desire to distribute at the next anneal meeting the bet worka of the best artists that can be procured. And that in order to do this, they have made arrangements by which they hope to secure a large increase of the subscription list, over that of the last year. They announce to the members that tha plan ef operations for the present year will be the same as that heretofore pursued, which is aa follows: Every subscriber of five dollars is a mem-

ber lor one year; ana is enuuea 10 a copy 01 a hiah,y nhd Original Engraving, the Annual Report, and the published Proceedings and Ad dresses at the yearly distribution. All the funds of the Society, after defraying necessary expenses, will be devoted to the purchase of American works of Art Paintings, Sculpture, Ace which will be publicly distributed by lot among all the members, on the first Monday in November of each year. The Paintings so distributed will be richly framed at the expense of the society. Members out of Cincinnati will receive their pictures from the Honorary Secretary nearest their residence. No member is restricted to a single share, but for each five dollars paid in, is entitled to an additional copy of the Engraving, of all publications of the society, end a chance in the drawing. The picture gallery of the Art-Union will be always open, free of charge, to members and their families. Artists, whether members or not, may be accommodated with a place in it for the exhibition of iheir works. Honorary Secretaries are appointed to transact tha business of tha Society out of the city of Cincinnati- They will receive and forward subscriptions, receive and deliver to the members in their districts the Works of Art, Engravings and reports of the Institution. The Engravings and Reports are forwarded to the Honorary Secretaries at the expense and risk of the Art-Uuion. The prizes are forwarded at the expense and risk of tha prize-holder. O The following document is furnished for publication by the Postmaster of Whoeling, Va : Post Officx Dar ast-mut, Contract Office, Sept. 7th 1 .49. Sir: The practice you have adopted, (as appears by your letter of the 21st ultimo,; under the recent act of Congress, changing the scale of progression in the rating of letters, is correct. That law adopts a rule for this country uniform with the one that prevails in Great Britain and Germany, to-wit: to count tbe half ounce in rating postage, that is, when the letter does not exceed the weight of hall an ounce. When the letter exceeds the weight of half ann ounce, it is required to be rated by the ounce; two rates to the ounce. For instance, if weighing less than an ounce, but more than half an ounce, it is to be charged with two rates of postage; if weighing over an ounce, but less than two ounces, with four rates of postage, no matter how little the excess, it is to be charged the tame aa if it weighed two ounces; if over two ounces, but less than three, six rates of postage, aud so on. This law is general, embracing inland as well as foreign letters; for in seeking uniformity with other countries with which we have postal trea ties, it was not intended to make a complicated 1 and conflicting regulation for ourselves. Respectfully, your ob't serv't, S. R. HOBBIE, First Ass't P. M. Gen. J. E-Whartou, Esq., Postmaster of Wheeling. Thk Fall Market tor Porx Haa not opened up into contracts. And the only indication of price at which it is likely to open is furnished by orders to purchase here in unlimited quantities, to be filled before the close of navigation, at $2.22 25 per hundred. If the prices of pork be in inverse proportion to the quantity of corn in the country, a criterion very generally adopted, these rates may rule the opening market, especially, with the experience of lat season so freshly in mind. For tha most abundant corn crops appear to be anticipated in every sectioa of the country east and south of us, and we are like to have a very fair supply in Iowa, unless the early frost shall catch it napping. But in this business of the Pork trade we have long set it down that "the race is not aivayt to the awift, nor the battle to the strong." So we shall wait patiently, and see what we shall see, advising our readers in the meantime of anything that may occur striking us aa note-worthy. Keokuk Whig, Sept. 15.

The S hak ers of Pittsfield, Mass., generously offered to entertain eighteen members of the board of foreign misnions during its session, saying in their letter of invi tation "if any men should come with their wives they must lodge aa the Israelites were comman ded to mourn at Hadad Rimmon." O It is not what we earu, but what we save, that makes us rich. It is not wbat we eat, but what we digest, that makes us fat It is not what we read, but what we remember, that makes us learned.

Those careful mothers who enjoin upon their boys "never to go near the water before they can swim," should emigrate thither.
