Pott Master General*

'File Kew Albany ledger contains a long and sensible article upon the propriety of selecting the next Post Master General in the cabinet of Mr. I'iercf, from one ol the Western States. There can be no doubt but that the west is entitled to ibis office in the distribution of executive stations, and we perceive a disposition manifested by the East' em and Southern Democratic prints to assign the head of this Department to one of the Western States. Indeed, no portion of the country has suffered to the same extent, from the inefficiency and bad management of this Department, and the regular irregularity of the Mails, and their total failure in some instances, than has the West. It is therefore urged, with much propriety, that the appoiulmetit of a western man, one acquainted with the wants and interests of this portion of the country, and who possessed sufficient ability and energy to give efficiency to the-Department, would be no more than justice io the West demanded. And it must be allowed us to say that no stale has greater claims for a Cabinet appointment than Indiana. Although now the fifth Statin the Union in point of population, and one of the first in her levotion to Democratic principles, she has never yet been represented in the Cabinet of the President. Almost every State in the Union has been represented in th^ executive Department of the nation, and most of them repeatedly, in fact there has boen almost a total monopoly of the executive, among some of the older Eastern States. The claims of tha West, and of Indiana especially should therefore not be overlooked.

We have a number of men iu the State, whose acknowledged ability and lung set vices in some of the highest civil trusts, amply qualify litem for a Cabinet position. We have seen with pleasure the name of lion. JOHN W. DAVIS, frequently associated with tho Post Muster Generalship, and the Secretaryship of the Interior. For cither Station, he lis eminently qualified, and his appointment would be received with the liigesl satisfaction, by his fellow citizens of Indiana, ns a deserved compliment to iho State and to himself. The appointment of such a man as Dr. Davis, or one of his energy of oharacter, and praoticnl intellect, would^soon effect a revolution iu tho present miseffcbly inefficient management of Post Otlice department. The West has suffered much from this bad management, more so than any other portion of the country, aud the appointment of an energetic, practical Weatern man to the head of this department in the inooming administration might efTect a thorough reformation. Anyhow, it could not be a change for the worse.

Great Firm in California.

Telcgr»pl»ic ditpatchea from New Orleans, of the 8th itut., announce the arrival of the steamer Philadelphia, from Aspinwall, with 200 passengers, and tho California mails. She brings tho mournful intolligcnoe of the almost total destruction of the City of Saoramento, bylire, with the loss of several lives.

There was a report, with what foundation we ctnmt say, that, Walter W. Reynolds, recently of this place, was a sufferer, to the amount of $30,000, and that Lucius Booth, also of this placo, was a sufferer to a considerable extent. The last named gentleman was the proprietor of some considerable real estate, in the city, and as the 6ro was universal, ell property holders have doubtless suffered by the conflagration. ^Destructive fires have likewise occurred in San ^Fiancisoo mid Maryaville, but the days on which these destructive dispensations occurred are not mentioned

The Pork maikel has been unusually busy for the week past. There hat been a large number of sales, prices from to *5,90. tellers are occasionally demanding 86 00, and refusing to take less, but we have heard ol no sales at those figures.

Prace Apita* si Empire.

reoch politics baa again exhibited itself in one of its peculiar phases. Truly there are two kinds of nature, human nature, and French nature.— The lact news from Europe brings us the intelligence of the elevation of Louis NAFOLEOS to the throne of France, under the title of Napoleon the Hi. This event could have been confidently predicted by any carefol observer of the course of events in that country. Whether the return to monarchy, will he beneficial to the French people remains to be developed. This enthusiastic, though fickle nation, has made repeated attempts to establish a free government and throw off the yoke of monarchy, but as yet to little or no purpose. They do not seem to possess that stability of character, that energy of will, that self-sacrificing spirit of personal interests, to the public good, which are necessary to form an ingredient of stern republican character, necessary to the perpetuity of free governments. The excitement of grand national pageants, is more congenial to their disposition thfen the simple and peaceful prosperity of a republic. The show, and pomp, and luxury of a brilliant Court, seems more congenial to their tastes, than the simple manners and habits of Freemen, and the novelty of sudden and frequent changes in government, as well as in the affairs of private life, seems more congenial to their mercurial temperament, than the quiet, and even onward march of State Government. Hence, in contrasting their singular conduct with our own, we wonder how it cau be that a people will voluntarily prefer a monarchy to a republican form of government, forgetiug the difference of tastes, habits, character, and feelings of the French people and our own.

Louis NAPOLEON, we understand, in spite of the denunciations of Victor Hugo and others, possesses the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens. There is a magic chain around his name and family, interwoven by the great NAPOLEON, that can never be broken lie possesjed in an eminent degree all those qualities that could captivate and win the admiration, affection, and almost adoration of a Frenchman's heart. The present Emperor Louts, we learn, possesses much of the same ability, and many of the qualities of the great founder of his name. The coup d'etat, however we may condemn Its object and execution, was cerlaiuly a most masterly executed stroke of policy, and would not have disgraced the Great Napoleon himself. A denunciation of this brilliant coup d'etat, from the master pen of his bitter opponent, Victor Hugo, will be found on our first page.

New Banks.

The new Free Banking Law has created a host of banks throughout the State. In addition lo the Prairie city Bank, which has gone into operation here, there are two or three contemplated to be shortly established. The Trader's Bank with a capital of $100,000, and the Merchant's Bank with a capital of tSO.OCO, the last the sole property of a private individual, Mr. Sandford of New York city. \Ve foarn from the Express that there is another bank in embryo for this place hailing from Utioa.— Editors can rarely get Bank accomodations, so it immaterial to us how many are established.

Hon. H'm. R. King.

The Washington Union says: The rumor of the illness of this distinguished gentleman, which has prevailed to some extent for the last few days is, we are happy to slate, without the least founda tion in fact. We learn from an authentic source that the health of Col. King possesses even more than its usual vigor, and promises to sustain him in the discharge of the duties of that exalted position to which lie hai just been elevated by his countrymen. Col. King is daily expected in Washington, where he will meet friends from all parts of the Uuion to congratulate him on his well-earned distinction.

P. S. Mr. King has since taken his seat as President of the Senate, and is now presiding over that body with his usual dignity and efficiency. Ho is reported to be in the enjoyment of the most excellent health.

Destructive Fire iu Danville, lad. A most destructive and extensive fire occurred in this place on Monday evening last.' Wiih the exception of a small brick building at the north east corner the entire uorth side of the Public Square was swept away. The buildings consumed were occupied by two Dry Good Stores owned by C. G. Waterous, Depew & Darn all, Depew & Comingor's Doctor shop, the tin and stove establishment of R. H. Moorhead, Chilcotes Drug store, McCormack's Clothing store, 1. F. Darnall's notion und provision store, the Tavern stand occupied by W. Ii. Ilyten. Witherow 4c Miller's Law office, and the residences of G. S. Rich and N. L. Hadley. Most of the goods, and property in the row were saved, with tho exception of about three-fourths of Depew & Darnall's slock, and the entire Drug establishment belonging to Chilcote. The buildings were all uninsured, and no estimate has yet been made of the loss, but it must amount to several thousand dollars. The /ire originated in a Tailor shop over Depew & Darnall's store, t»nd is supposed to have been communicated from a stove flue

The Presidentelect continues to bear himself with the same dignity and propriety, that during the canvass won for him the good feeling and respect of the whole country. A correspondent thus writes from Concord to the Boston Post: "Gen. Pierce has taken a beautiful suit of rooms at Gibson's new 'Eagle Hotel,' where he appears glad to see his friends, except when they come with personal applications for office. It is said that he will feel himself under the necessity of postponing the special consideration of all appointments to office, except for cabinet places, until after his inauguration, and has so expressed himself to applicants. Gen. Pierce will not leave town, except for a temporary absence or perhaps a day or two, until after the fist of February. Those newspapers which assign to him a variety of different intentions can depend on this. He is comfortably quartered for the winter season in our new 'crack hotel,' (lo the erection of which I am Informed he contributed) and is doubtless sufficiently sensible of the cares and responsibilities which await him, if he lives for four years succeeding the 4th of Maroh next to run away from his neighbors, friends and native hills, any sooner than circumstance of the case actually requires. New Hampshire is now, since it has furnished a President, a good State to live in, (as well as to emigrate from) if it was not so before."

The deplorable pictures of hordes of office-seek, ers that daily beset Gen. Pierce, and the wear and tear of such attacks upon his personal comfort by some of the papers are doubtless exagerated. The

After a lapse of six months, a new store, equal, if not superior, to anything of the kind in the wes tern country, has been erected upon the old site. The building is four stories above ground, with iron columns andj free stone front of a very chaste but substantial style of architecture, appropriate to the purpose for which it is intended, and a great ornament to that part ofcthe street.

The basement story is 9£ feet high, and unusually airy and commodious. Anew method has been adopted to gain room here, by extending the basement to the curb stone, the space under the pavement being lighted by 324 of "Hyatt's Patent Walk-Lights." These lights are each three inches in diameter, by one inch thick/and area decided improvement upon the old fashioned iron gratings, as by means of them, not only the space immediately under the pavement, but also a great portion of the basement itself is well lighted and although admitting the light, they cannot be seen through from above or below

The editor of the New York Tribune seems to be peculiarly unfortunate in not having his efforts and sacrifices in behalf of Whiggerv properly appreciated by his co-workers in the eame political field. Althogh he has said more, written more, and lied more for his party, than any other editor in the Union, he is constantly receiving kicks and curses from those hti has served so well in his vocation^? ^We really feel some compassion for poor Horace, when we read such an extraot as this, from the Troy (N. V.) Whig, a leading paper of that faction in New York Stated1 That print says: "Now if Mr. Greeley and his crew will but stick to these declarations, and get out of the Whig party as soon as possible, and then keep out for all time to come the Whig party will come up again.— Go where you please.

But to conciliate you, we gave you a candidate who stood on your own platform, and we fiuthtotty supported that candidate giving vou to understand, however, that we could not adopt a pro slavery creed. We sacrificed everything to you but our principles, and yet you refused to support the regular nominee^. Now, the sentiment of the North is opposed toslavery. and in future you need not expect anything, more from as we will rally in 1856 on anti slavery grounds, and nominate Wm.fi.

will thus be seen that in voting population Indiana now stands the fourth State of the Uuion, far exceeding both Virginia and Massachusetts, which have heretofore been ahead of her.

PHfi^flittriCAL.-—The Editor of the Red River Republican, La., thus philosophises over the result of the recent election:

Some of the consequences.—The following are some of the consequences to us of the defeat of General Scott for president: ',

We have been relieved from hurrahing—thereby saving our thoat from hoarseness, and our lungs from exhaustion. We have been relieved from firing the cannon—and thereby placed out of danger of haiing our arm or our bead shot off. We have been relieved of a few dollars—no pleasant matter, by-the-bye—thereby giving gratification to some of our friends. We will be relieved from doing the duties of Postmaster, for which we don't care a —fig.

P. HALE.—We aee it stated that the Hon. jonn P. Hale received only four votes ia the New Hampshire Legislature, last week, for V. S. Senator, Subsequently a resolution was offered to invite him to accompany the Legislature on iss visit to Boston, to attend the Webster obsequies, and it was laid on the table, only three members voting for it.

MELAHCHOLY,—Mr. Lee Roger*, of this county, was found dead about half a mile from Mr. Nash's store, on Saturday last. It seems that Mr. Rogers left home on Thursday, and, not returning as ex pected, the family, on Saturday morning, instituted a search and soon found him in a small piece of woods through, which he had attempted to pass oo hi* way home, in a recumbent position, lifeless, Mr. R. waa a good neighbor, a warm-hearted friend, an indulgent parent, but was unfortunate in his love for liquor, which has at last proved bis dcstitciion.
