For a Deputy 1 ostmaster to use his franking pru nege (a privilege bestowed upon him for the s i!e pnrnose of exonerating him from oppressive charges in the necessary correspondence of his office) in scattering over the country pamphlets, newspapers, ;.nl proceedings to influence elections, is to outrage all propriety, and must not for a day be tolerated. Let this be left to the politicians. 1 should be happy if one or two examples shall be found sufficient to correct an evil which has so extensively prevailed. I will take this occasion, also, to add for your instruction, that the appointment to. an 1 continuance in the office of pistma.ster.of anv one editing a political newspaper, is in the highest degree objectionable.

September 4 1811. Our friends of the first Congressional District will see by the following card from Mr. Bolts, that their little misrepresentati e. George II. Protlitt, has been 'headed' in his attempt to palm off ujon iiis constituents a soeech made bv himself in Congrers, which he did not m:he. How very contemptible, aye, cowardly, is the course of Prolhtt. to utter in the presence of a gentleman sentiments of personal respect and esteem, and after leaving Washington to assume a different tone: Jlr. Ifotls lo the Public. From the National Intelligencer. Richmond, September 'i'.i, IS-!!.

These remarks have been draw n from me bv a perjsal of the speech of Mr. Prof;;!!, as published in the Intelligencer of the 1st. and which 1 have just received. in that speech I fin 1 much omitted that was spoken such as hi. 3 repeat"': cleinirrs of persona1, disrespect to mr. of anv warning to him not to go too iW. and tii.5 reply thereto; ad w hich appear;.-) in the sketch given by the reporter. Now tliis I care little for. I have no obieciion that he should write out his speech to make it as palatable as he likes either to his constituents or to the ear of power, but I cannot allow it to be done at my expense. I find also much written o7t that was riot spoken in mv hearing, and I sat within tnree feet of him, an attentive listener during the whole period. There was but one paragraph, however, which I can here notice, it is as follows: 'The next is rather an insignificant one, but it will serve to open the eyes of the People to the system of warfare urged upon the President. The gentleman savs that the President during the eanvasi avowed sentiments totally different from those entertained by hrm now, and that a letter proving the fact is now in possession of a m miber of this House, and is ready to he produeeu". rir. 1 was i:app m near this. It looked like fairness. 1 waited anxiously to see that letter, and was certain that'it would be forthcoming, particularly as it was in die House while the gentleman was speaking. But, sir, it was not produced. Now. sir, I demand that the letter be read. Is it in the possession of the gentleman? Who has it? What, all mute?

Adaxn3, the Printer Arrest of the IYIurdrrer and discovery of the body. On Fiid-iy week Mr. Samuel Adams, a highly repcetab!e printer, residing' at 11 Hlizabeth street of the firm of S rathard Si Adam, of 59 Gold street, sudden Iv disappeared. He was a man of regular habits. lie was advertised, but nothing bad been beard of him. On the evening of Iih disappearance the oecupaim of the upper stories of the !are;e granite building, romer of Broadway and Chambers street, were disturbed by a mysterious noise and scuflling in the room of a tenant named J. (-. Colt, the auiiior ( a new a system of book-keeping. Halt. Patriot. ' A gentleman named Wheeler, teacher of penmanship, occupying a room adjoin ing Colt's, suspecting foul play, looked thiotiih the key-hide of Colt's door and sw Coll washing ihe floor. At a la e hour, looking again be saw him similarly ocrtipieil. lie ordered his young nun to waich when Coli went out. Colt stayed all nijlit in bi room and was constantly employed. In ihe morning Colt went out and called a carman, to whom he delivered a box of sufficient size to hold a man. directed to some one at St. Louis via New Orleans. The young man had not wit enough to follow, but reported the circimsninres to his employer The gentleman alluded 10 sometime afterwards seeing the advertisement of the mvsteri u? disappearance of Mr. Adams, made seme inquiries and ascertained that he was then executing (or had previously executed) some printing for Col t to a considerable amount, and was in die habit of often calling at ('oil's rooms. This confirmed his suspicions that a foul murder bad been done on the Friday night above namud and he communicated the whole circumstances to Mayor Morris. Coll was arrested on Thursday. He denies being in ihe room on the night in question, and sending away the box, or knowing any thing of it or its contents. We have since learned more full particulars, and the above are somewhat incorrtci. The facts, as far as we can gather, are these: Mr. Colt is the author of an able wi rk upon book-keeping, and the brother of the inventor of Coil's celebrated firearms. He hired a room on tha second floor of the granite building corner of Chamber st. and BroaJway. The room is the second room from Broadway, and the window.- face Chamber st. On the night of Friday, the 17th inst. the gendeman occupying the adjoining room heard with others, a noise as some person falling, and fancied snm persons were fencing with foils, and one of them had fallen. The parlies waited, expecting to hear a laugh, but fiom that moment a most profound and deathlike silence followed. Surprised at the circumstance, the gentlemen knocked several times at Colt's door, but no answer was given. On the following morning, a large box wa observed by many inmates of the Ijrtanite building, standing in the entrySome in ihe upper part of the building thought at first that it was for them; as it was about the length to contain two full -ized busts. Observing, however, that it was directed to St. Louis via New Orleans, thev saw that it vas gomg from the buildine. not ihat it h;.d come l. it. Oilier nrrsons in the building who knew j that Colt had only taken the rooms for a short time, thought he was removing

found shattered a hatchet, the handle of

winch was newly scraped with broken glass the end of tlis handle of the ae was covered over with ink. The wall was also'spotted with ink, as w e conce'n e, to conceal or obliterate the marks of blood. A portion of the floor of the! carman w ho had carried the box, and whom Mr. Godfaev, the superintendent of the hacks, discovered on Saturday night, lie was taken before the May or, where he stated that Mr Colt ha 1 emp'oed and paid him to cary a box from bis room, corner of Broa lway and Chambers street, to the ship Kalamazoo, lying at the foot of Maiden lane, on the morning of the 18th inst, and that he had delivered it there accordingly. In consequence of this, the Mayor or dered officers A. M. C. Smith and Waldrun, 011 board the vessel, and the hatches which had been closed, to be opened, and 011 Sunday afternoon, about one o'clock, the box was found and brought on deck. O.i opening it, ihe body of Mr. Adam., with only his shirt 011, was found therein, packed round tightly with salt, and an awning wrapped round the whole, and then the box nailed up. It was conveyed to the dead house in the Park, and the Coroner called to hold ihe inquest. Juslice Taylor, of the Upper Police, (who with ihe Mayor and oflicern above named, have been indefatigable in ferreting out ihe authors of ibis horrid murder.) discovered the woman kept by Colt, and in her possession, found the watch of Mr. AdamsThin this affair of blood is revealed and the guilty author known, and justice about to he satisfied. -H" HcmrnisccDC's of Bishop Chaso. bill .V OF TIIE IM.VK AI'i'Lc.. We have j:isl been glancing our eyes over ibis very interesting act. biography. The bishop i3 well known, not only from his sacredotal character, but from the foci of his being President of Jubilee College, in this State. As he is an elo quent and impressive speaktt ii was to be expected thai he would give us a well written and agreeable voiume. We venture to say that the work wiil be found lo lie as interesting t the ordinary as the pi ous reader. 'I lie first number was pub lished in Jnlv la-lat Peoria, and its typo graphical execution is creditable to Illinois. It is sheer nonsense to suppose that bonks cani.ol begot up well in this state. The Reminiscences contain in addition to matters ef a pious nature ihe Bishop's adventures through a long and momentous pe riod, -.nil are embellished with a number of striking incidents and anecdotes. I he story of the Pine Apple, in particular, struck us forcibly and efTetcually. A lovely young lady marries a man who was thought 10 be exceedingly good look ing 3nd whose address was for the most nrl courteous and winning. Without studying his character ube married him Alas! the curse of avarice had blighted all his better feelings, if indeed he ever possessed them. He treats this amiable wife coldly he at last neglects her en tirely. He disregards every thing but bis insatiable and unfeeling pursuit ol wealth. She whom he should have delighted to cherish weeps apart and in si lence over the ruin of her fondest hopes. She ainks into a delirium. The unfeeling miser deprives her of the ordinary comforts of life, going so far as even to send ihe horse and chaise, which were a part of her dowry, to auction. It is found during her long illness thai nothing can assuage her never ceasing thirst like ihe moderate and constant use ot tropical fruit. She appeals to him in vain he cannot spare a sixpence. She had learned fine needle work, and with her feeble hands earns sufficient 10 buy a pine apple. Giving the fow npnee she bad procured with so much difficulty, to to her husband she beseeches him to buy her a pine apple. The miser takes the money and proceeds to Boston. A long day elapses. The window overlooking the road is often visited by the languid eyes of the suffering innocent. The sun declines but he comes not. It becomes dark and he yet neglects her wh could have been neglected by no one save a fiend. At length the tramp of feet is heard; the miser enters th passage with

averted eyes to Hie hrepUee. Wiin a desponding heart ihe wife makes inquiries as to his success. His replies are evasive. At last the wretch teils her lhal he bought the fruit, but it smelt so good that he eat it all up himself. The unfeeling communication is a death blow to the po r ,ifo, and as she falls back in her chair and breathes her last she utters the involuntary malediction, may you never be tutisfied." The curse a fulfilled the brute lived a monument of the wrath of the Supreme Being. He became a maniac, and his life ever after was spent in gormandising. With a vacant and listless air, and a

body increased to an enormnu size he sat in the streets, the spori of thoughdegs boys and cried unceasingly for "more." What a lesson to the avaricious. Mr. Quick and his Spoiled Child. Mr. Quick. "Little Quick," had als a treasure, namely, 'one fair daughter, which he loved pnssing well" too well! It followed then, that she was in infancy so humored, petted, and "spoiled" that in compassion with her wild and whimsicle desire, the far famed requisition of the "top tile of the chimney." was a moder ate and justifiable demand. One day, a friend "dropping in" wpon Mr. and Mrs. Quick at their dinner hour, found these fond parents and their "treasure" already seated ai the table, alihongh ihe dishes were yet uncovered. The hospitable couple insisted on their friend's participation of their homely mesl. and he, in conpliance with iheir wish, took the fourth side of the board, immediately opposite to the young ?nislress of the hnuxe. then about six years of age, who. by right of custom and her own sover eign will, chose, day by day, whatever possition caprice or local speculations, connected with certain edibles, pointed out to be most desirable ud there the high chair of the little despot w3s ordered to be placed. On the prtstrtt orraion, having forestalled her dinner by eat; ing a lump of cake, which bed palled her appetite, and rendered the present meal tn unwelcome superfluity, the little dear was sealed next to her doting father, as a mere looker on. The main dih upon the table, when uncovered, excited the curio-ity of Miss Quick, who either had not seen the joint before, or had forgotten the name of it. which she now eagerly demanded: anil upon being told ihat it was a saddle of mutton, she stood up, and promptly announced her intension to ride upon it for hwiti. To his preposterous recreation, the parents were fain lo entreat the little imp's forbearance. In vain, for she declared saddle ; were made to ride upon, ami to ride 6he was resolved. Afier much ado, her patient father and mother luckily suggested ihat the obvious beat of she aspired to, and the inconvenience likely to arise from su b an exercise would distress her, and spoil her new frock, tho difficulty seemed surmounted' and the child desisted from farther importunity: but, immediately after, perceiving the dish almost overflowing with the juice of the mtutou, shf cried out Oh. let me put mv foot in the gravy! I will put my foot in the gravy!" The father, albeit not unused to such eccentric foncies, was s little startled i Wis sweet pet's novel desire, and exclaimed in a tone af unusual wonder and of depreca ion. "My precious love! w hat a preposterous thing you propose! it's quite out of the quPMion. Now be a dear, good child, and let me help Mi. to some mutton." "Oh!" reiterated the little treasure, "I xeill put my feel in tne gravy first!'1 In vain the devoted parents argud, threatened, and coaxed in vain promised that the next day. when they were without a visiter, she should do whatever she pleased, all. all in vain! for upon a more determined opposition, the street little angel yelled out her wishes in such a piercing key, that her mother, a very mild mannered person, addressed her husband 'Mv dear Mr. Quick, Urn afraid we shall have no pence until we allow the dear to do as she likes." "Well, but my love," argued Mr. Quick, in reply, a litde ashamed of their mutual weakness before their euest, "what will Mr. say to such a proceed ing? It is really so improper." Mr. willing to see to what ex treme parental folly could go, withheld both his opinion and permission, prefer ring a state of neutrality, and Mr. Quick, finding the little tyrant's determination warmer every minute and the mutton cooler, nronosed a compromise, namely. ihat the little darling should have another dish brought in. and placed in a corner or the room with some of the gravy 111 it, and then paddle about whils themselves and friend were at dinner, ami return to table when the fruit came in. No: the "treasure," at the very top of her voice, once more declared ihat she would have the dish, and nothing but the dish, before her; and further, that she would not abate one diop of the gravy. At this perplexing juncture. Quick turned towards his friend, in apology for the scene before him, assuring hun at the same time, ihat "it was no use to ihwan ihe dear child, who would have her own way." Then calling for another dish, the poor father placed u sh'tf-ering sadd!

tupoii 11, and Siiimg thai from the t.Lne jOmaining the gravy, carried it to a fjtnoie corner of the room, where he was followed hy the "little duck." who, after ja pursuading kiss from ihn goose, her fa;ther, consented to have her slius temovjed, and lo remain splashing about until

jthe desert appeared upon ihe lable. When thelitt'e nuisance graciously allowed her foot bath to be taken away, she reascended bar high rhair, and ibere further showpil how hateful lovely infancy may become by improper indulgence, bv push ing about and knocking down whatever was oflf-red that she did not approve.Screaming forth her preference she at length declared in favor of a large pear, ihe largest in the dish upon which she had placed her affections, Mrs. Q-iiek, unwilling to incur by fresh denial another contest with her powerful superior, with prompt kindness smilingly placed the covered pear upon her daughter's plate; when to the alarm of the beholders, the little fury thiew it back upon lu-r mother with all the ferocity of a fid! grown ter magant, exclaiming as she did so, "Uy did you give it to me? 1 wanted to snatch .1" Another wonder at the Xiagara Palls. We have just arrived from the Falls, says the Buffalo Penny Press, whither wo went llns morning per cars, on learning that a person was cast away on one of the Three Sisters, islands, situated in the rapids justaliove the Falte, and that all efforts to rescue hun were as yet unavailing. On our arrival f.ll w as excitement, hundreds were crossing and re-cross.ing to Goat Island, from the head of w inch hs could be observed. These Islands liesida bv side near tho head of Goat Island, and the unfortunate man is en the farthest one, and where no human being was ever known to be before Tiie first and se cond are rarely visited, but the third is in accessible. The. daring Robinson v. as on the second preparing ropes to cast over, by which it was hoped a boat mig.it be draw n over by running cords. This was, after much dificulty performed, and th empty boat was sent over, but from some reason the passage of tho poor fellow was not attempted, and the boat returned with out him. and so matters stood when we were obliged to leave by the cars. He had been on the island 4S hours and was discovered by the smoke of his fire. lln signifies bv signs that ho was above, when one of his 03 r broke, arid with toe other he succeeded in making a binding. We believe food hasbeensent him. Tiie distance across the boiling flood is nearly fifty yards, and it is doubtful whdher he ean ever be brought off! His name is Allen, a brother-in-law of Robinson, and re sident at the Falls, and has a family. When wo ew hun he appeared restless , . .' . . 1 . an 1 uneasy, wan luring aoont c m"unnu, villi what seemed a small hatchet in his .ami. P. S. Since the above was in type, we have learned that the man got off by means of a boat made fa?tto a rope, con necting his rocky islet and G ;nt bland. The boat was swept down within a fewfeet of the precipice. Extraordinary Tree. In Boghos Ecy's garden at Alexandria is an extraordinary fruit tree produced by an extremely ingenious process. They take three seeds, the citron, tha orange and the lemon, and carefully remove the external covering from both bides of one ot them, and from one side of the Mo others, place the for mer between the. latter, and oiriding the three together with tine, grass, included in onerinJ,tho division being being perfectly visible externally, and tho flavor of each copartment as different as if it had grown on a separate tree. This curious method of producing a tripe.trite fruit has been introduced by Boghos Joussuf from Smyrna his native city, where it is said to havo bcc.i practiced from time immemorial. Decc i v i n zC hild rrn . Dr. B. was called to visit a sick boy, twelve years of age. Ashe entered the house, the mother took him aside and told him she could not get her boy to uke any medicine, except she deceived him. "Well then." said Dr. B. "I thsd not give him any. He is old enough to be reasoned with." He went to the boy, and after examination, said to him, "my little man you are very sick, and must take some medicine. It wiil taste badly, and make you feel badly, for a little while; and then I expect it will make you feel better." The doctor prepared the medicine and the boy took it like a iinn, without any resistance; and he would take from his mother anything that the physician had prescribed; but would take nothing else from her. She had so ofttn deceived him and told him "it was good," when she gave medicine, that he would not trust to any thing she said. But he saw at once that Dr. B. was telling him the truth, and trusted him. He knew when he took the bitter dur.ght, just what to expect. Thisimpl incident contains instruction of deep and swleinn importance, deserving the careful consideration of every parent. 'Honesty, with children, as well hs with others, and in a!! ctrruoistances ij tha policy."
