The i break just reported, however, is said not to in I volvo so great a danger as ak tho levee, some bataneo from the river's .edge; the water at ie break is only six feet deep. The break is reported to be one hundred fifty yards wide, >ut from tho high stage of water, will bo dilti - suit, if not impossible, to close it.

The words "at present" were interlined at the deceased's request, and the court held that this fact showed that the declaration was not made in the fear of death, and therefore that the statements could not be received in evi? dence. The " construction placed upon the words under consideration would seem to be, that though the wounded person believed her? self to be in a highly critical state, yet she had not given up all hopes of recovery. -About seven years ago two sisters-in-law, i- Detroit, got into a dispute over a baking the; were engaged in, and vowed never to spelt to each other again.

ANOTHER WORD TO TUE MAYOR. 'To the lion. Gilbert Pillsbury : Sui-I am satisfied that my r.con1. commu? nication was kindly received-as it was not in malice written-by your Honor. Your Honor may well exclaim, "Save nae from my friends," when those who claim that distinction fly to arms and utter throats of vongoanco upon a quiot citizen who boldly ad visos you against their measures. If anything were wanting to add emphasis to, and vouch tor, the truth of my recent de? clarations, you must have found it in the dis? graceful .'onduct of your Council at its last meeting. New York City has heretofore borne off tho palm for rough proceedings in legislation; but since tho inauguration of your government an era has begun, the liko of which history scarcely furnishes a pa. ni I cl. The dignity ot justice gives plane to tho riot of ignorance, ona tho urbanity ot a deliberativo and l?gislative body to outrageous personali? ties and foul billingsgate. Your Honors efforts to control the Council and maintain order were honorable both to your bead and boort. P was an unfortunate ciicumstance that a po&ie of polico was not at hand to enforce the commands ot the chief magistrate of the city. You could not tail to Bee what tactics were se? lected to ensnare your Honor. Knowing that honesty held court in your heart, and double dealing would find no sympathy there, they sought to catch you with guile, which they, in part, succeeded in doing, bravely-.did you try to undo tho error, by declaring that voil would Bit all night rather than pronounce that right ands valid which was wrong and unjust. If .your Honor had said, "I w?Tl stay hero a week, or oven a mouth, or for tho. entire Iqpgth of my term in Office," you contd not hove silenced them sooner, for thjjy, well ltnew that oncn fix? ed iu purpose, you Could''not bo moved. Irrt* mediately they fell to abusing oach other* in the Very presence of your Honor, hke so many madmen, let lu iso for a holiday; but it would .be folly to designate one above Jho other, for "When all are mad, where all are like opprost, Who can discern ono madman from tho rest ?" But out nido the Council Chamber they oven hike greater liberties with you.'uame and char? acter. They call you tbe '-"Old man," by which, it seems, they mean ihat. you aro quite imbe? cile,, and must, therefore, be easily moulded and coverned by them. They do not scruple to say that you dare not po or do contrary to the wishes of the "Loyal Leasuo" ard the legal thunders ot your late eminent counsel-the distinguished framer of the "hill" which secured to you tho ollie o of Mayor. They further infamously declare that you are pledged to do their will, by which they mean that your Honor sold or promised to themselves all tho offices, perquisites, grab bag schemes, immunities, and licenses natu? rally growing out of a political change in the city administration. In other words, that you were to be merely the glove on their hand, or the machine which they wore to work. Now that they see tho sturdiness with whicb you resist their advances, personal violence is threatened against you, and to your very face it is thrown up that you aro a "carpet-bag? ger," ?nd the timo is set for the presentation of articles ot impeachment. I am not atraid that you will tremble at such menaces. You aro master of tho situation, and, like the late illustrious President of the United States, can hurl defiance to all such schemes to break down your integrity, or un? seat you. You have only to stand your ground, keep your wits and your temper; and, if closely pressed, thrust your band beneath the watch fob of your waiBCoat, as if fooling for a Deriu ger, and you will quickly bo relieved of the most belligerent; of your Councilmen. You aie aware, sn?, that among the wise clauses in pur constitution is one against duelling. soJUiat such persons as you are com? pelled to J?ail with couria impunity, andean easily escape the swift pnuishinen*, which would be ap s to follow from; a gentleman so i hlFar?o^ : unama worWfojtffche practica ?? pf duelling,-for .1 since chivaJflgBfcypasBe? from public placo, it ' would be H^iSfpAw that a?y persons < now lu p iffWlwuever bo tempted to ebal- 1 lenge or figh ter But I wou'.vV most seriously advise that you 1 keep near you a good old-fa?hioii"d horse Whip, which you can apply, according to circum? stances, upon the more obstreperous of your associates. Best assured, sir, that many of them, having a wholesome memory of former times, would subside into obedient and obse? quious lackeys at the bare sip.ht of ru 'li an admirable instrument of civilization in your Honor's hand. At all events you cannot afford to yield to the frenzy and madness of the Council. They will make you the target mt all their venomous shafts, but you must always remera- ; ber that dignity in power can afford to look down on rampant ignorance and foiled' vice in contemptuous silence 1 Employ, I beseech you, the valuable opportunity you now have in studying tbe real character of the down? trodden sons of Africa, and the ingenious methods of their white compeers, to serrare their elevation and civilization. The African, you peroeive, understands, even in bis barba? rous state, the difference between skinning and being skinned. He knows that voting is dif? ferent from office holding, and that millenirm means the black above the white, and that a white man in a black skin is better than a black man in a white one. To be sure, these are vulgar notions, yet do they exist, and have to be met by your Honor : with becoming dignity. However, as I eaid before, you are master of 1 tbe situation, having studied all sides, and holding, as you do, to bo?e?ty of purpose. If your Honor should become a martyr to tue in? sensate rage of disappointed ornce-seekers, honesty will but get its usual human rewards; bnt in the serene repose of good deeds sent on before, you will smile at the futile hato of man and witness their everlasting discom? fiture. Be not, thor of oro, moved by the efforts brought to bear against yon. For ' 'Irrita vsntloquae quid curas spioula lingua), Latrantem euramo alta Diana canom."

[From the Saturday Review.] Among other classifications, the world of men and women may be divided into those who wear aprons and those who are tied to the strings thereof, those who determine tbe length ot the tether and those who are bound to browse within its circuit, those who hold the reins and those-who go bitted. AU men and women are fond of power, but there is a wi<*e difference in the way in which they nae it. To men belong the grave political tyrannies ut whioh nations revolt, and history is outraged, to women the pmall conventional laws framed against individual liberty by Mrs. Grundy and society; men rule with rods. of iron and drive with whins of steel, women shorten tbe tether and tie up close to apron strings: men coerce, women forbid. In fact, the difference is just that whioh lies between action and negation, compulsion and restraint ; between the masculine jealousy of equality and tho feminino fear of excess. If men debar wo? men from all entrance into their larg er sphere, women try to dwarf mon's lives to their own measure, and not ? few hold themselves ag? grieved when they tail. They think that every? thing whioh is Impossible to them should bo forbidden to others, and they maintain that to be a lamentable extreme whioh is simply m ex? cess of their own powers. Not content with supremacy in the home which is their own un? disputed domain, nor satisfied with binding on men the various rulos distinguishing life in the drawing room and the breakfast parlor, they would, if they could, carry their code outside, and sweep into its narrow" net the club house and the mesa table, the billiard, room and the race course, and wher? ever else men congregate together, de? livered from the bondage of . feminine conventionalities. For almost ali women have an uneasy feeling when their men are out of sight, enjoying themselves in-their own way. They fear on all sides-both bodily harm and moral evil; and regard men's rougher sport? and freer thoughts as a hen regards her wilful ducklings when they take to the water in whioh she would be drowned, and leave her high and dry lamenting their danger and self-destruc? tion. The man ? they love best for his manli? ness they would, in their loving cowardice, do their utmost to .make effeminate; and while adoring him tor all that makes him bold and strong in thought as welt as in frame, would tio him up to their apron-strings, and. keep him There till he became as soft and narrow aa f h em 8% Ives. Not that they would wish to do ..; it you asked them they would tell yon quite the contrary; but this would bo tho re? sult if they had thoir own way, their love being at all time i more timid than confident. To home staying women, a brilliant husbnnd court*d by tbe world, and loving what courts him, is a painful cross to bear, however muoh beloved-the pain, in fact, boms proportionate to the love. Perhaps no lifo exemplifies thin so muob as Moore**, Poor "Bessy" suffered many things bocauso of tho looseness ot tho aprou-striug by which her roving husband was tied, and the length of tho tether which ho allowed himself. FarfalUmc amoroso as bo was, his iucossant flutt?rings out of tango and roach caused ber many a sad hour ; and in after years she was often heard to say that the happiest time of her life was when his mind had begun to fail, for then sho had him all to herself, and n? ono came in between them-no groat world swept him away to be tho idol of a salon, and loft ncr alone at homo casting up her accounts with lite, and quaking at tbe re? sult that came out. When the brilliancy and the idolatry came to an end, then her turn beean; and she tied up bor dulled and faltering idol closo to her side for ever after, and was happier to have him there than when he was at his brightoet, and a rovor. Many a wife has felt tho same when sickness has broken down the sti ong min's powdr to a woakness below her own, and made her, so long tho inferior, now the moro powerful of the two, and tho su? preme. She gathers up the reins with that firm, tight hand peculiar to women, and ties bim to her apron turing so that ho cannot es? cape. It is quito a matter of pride with her that she has gol bj ra into such good order. He obeys her so implicitly about his medicine, and going to bedVeariy^ .and wrapping himself up, an avoidance jOf 'draughts and night air, that she feels all tho tell coted glpry ol ono who has coiiquerod a hero! Tho Stimson who used to defy the olemouts, ?and break her careful strings like bands of tow, has at last laid his head in her lap, and suffered himself to bo covtrod by ber apron, lt is wofih while to bavo had thc anxiety and loss of 4ns illness for tho sake ot the submission resulting; and she generally onds by gaining a hold over him which he can never shake off agnin. It is piti? ful, though, to see tho stronger lifo thus dwarf? ed and bound; but women like it, and while the need for it lasts men must submit. The danger is lost the habit of the apron string should become permanent; for it is HO perilously pleasant to be petted and made much of by women, that few men cm resi t tbe temptation when it offers; and many bavo been ruined tor the remainder of their days by an illness winch gave them up into the keep? ing of wife and sisters -those fireside Ar .indas who will coddle all the real manliness ont of their finest heroes, if they are let. lt this kind of thing occurs at the break of life, the mezzo c.immino between maturity and age, it is doubly difficult to throw off; and many a mau who had good years of vigor and strength be? fore him if he bad kopt up to tho mark, sinks all at once into effete senility because his wo? mankind got frightened at that last small at? tack of his, and thought tho best way to pre? serve him from another was to weaken him bv over care. Pehaps the greatest misfortune that can be? fall a man is to have been an only son, brought up by a tender and timid widowniotber. It is easy to see at a glance, among a crowd of boys, who has been educated under exclusively femi? nine influence. Tho long curled shining hair. the fantastio tunic-generally a kind of hybrid between a tunic and a frock-the lavish use of embroidery, tho soft pretty behaved manner, the clean nnroughened hands, allmarklhe boy of whom his mother ha3 so often wished that he bad been a girl, and whom she has made as like a girl as possible. His intellectual edu? cation has been as unboylike as his daily breeding. Mothers' boys are taught to play tho piano, to amuse therrsolves with paint? ing, or netting, or perhaps a little woolwork in the evenings-anything tokoep them quietly seated by the family table, without an outbreak of boyish restlessness or inconvenient energy; bub toey are never taught to ride, to hunt, to ehopytoj^n?, to play at cricket, football, or wnlWalfes^l'bfnyTn^S- own hands al times ; and insists on having a word to say abdul his nephew's, education- Them ia .tonger.ia all, and evil in sbth? ol' these things; aud women cannot bear that those they love should run the risk of either. Wherefore their boys ore modest and virtuous truly, but they are not manly; and when they go out into the world, as they must sooner or later, they aro either laughed at for their priggishness, or they go to the bad by the very foroe of reaction. The mother has allowed them to learn nothing that will be of any use to them, and they en? ter the great arena wholly unprepared either to fight or resist, to push their own way or to take their own port. They have been kept tied up to the apron string to the last moment, and only when absolutely forced by the necessity of o ?rents will she cut the knot and let them go free. But she holds on to the last moment. Even when the time comes for college life and learning, she often goes with her darling, and takes lodging in the town, that she may be near at band to watch over bis health and morals, and continue her careful labors for his destruction. The chances aie that a youth so brought up never becomes a real man, or worth his salt anyhow. He is a prig if he is good, a debauchee of the worst kind if he kicks over the traces at alb He is mora likely the first, carrying the mark of the apron string round his wrist tor life. Like a tame falcon used to the hood, and the perch, and the lure home, no matter what the temptation of the quarry afield, he is essentially a domestic man, at ease only in the society of women; a fussy man, a small man, delicate in health, and with a dread of strong measures, physical political or mental; a crotchety man, and given to pas? sing qm ck o rh. s, but not a man flt for man's society, or for man's work. When there are 22 an y boys, instead of only one, in a widow's family, tue opposite of all this is the ease. As soon as they have escaped from the nursery, they have escaped from ali control whatsoever; and if one wants to realize a puerile pandemo? nium of dirt, discomfort, noise, and general disorganization, the best place in the world is the household of a feeble spirited mother of many sons, where there is no controling mas? culine influence. Daughters, who are naturally and necessari? ly tied up to the mothei's apron strings, suffer occasionally from too tight a strain; though certainly it is not the fault of the present day that girls are tod closely fettered, too home staying, or subdued. Btu], every now and tben one comes across a mitron who has crushed all individuality out of ber family, and whose grown-up daughters are still children to her in go-carts and leading-strings. They may be the least attractive of their sex. but a mother of this kind bas one fixed delusion respecting them-namely, that the world is full of wolves eager to devour her lambs, and that they are only safe when olose to her maternal apron and browsing within an inch of tb? tether .take. These are the girls who become hope? less old maids. Men have an instinctive dread of the maternal apron string. They do not want to marry a mother as well as a wife, and to live under a double dominion and redupli? cate opposition. It is all very well to say that a girl so brought up is broken in already, and thexefore more likely to make a good wife than many others, seeing that it is only a transfer ot obedience. They may do for slaves who cannot be other than slaves whoever is tho master; bnt it does not do for women who see their friends freer than themselves, and who might, if fate had so ordered, been free too. The chances here are, as with the mothers' bovs-that the girls keep too close to the apron string during her spinsterhood, goos all abroad as soon as she gota on the free ground of mat? rimony, and lets her liberty run into licoato. Or she keeps her old allegiance to her mother intact, and her husband ia never more than the younger branch at bes*. Most likely he is a usurper, whom it is her duty to disobey in favor of the rightful ruler when they chance to come into collision. -The more advanced advocates of women's rights have boldly fixed their ambitious gaze on the Presidency, ,Bev. Mr. Beecher said at the "Elnar Bights" meeting that a woman may make as ' good a President as any of the last five or six wno ruled in the White House. The thing is going beyond laughter very evi? dently. That respect for female chick is an bid characteristic of tho Ton tonio races, and it still exists in spite of the Latin influences. If the English have a Queen, why may we not have a lady President? The ola age?of stal? wart limbs and brute foroe are gone; and if Congress is to take matters into its own bands for the future, perhaps a woman may do as well in the White House as a conquering general* _ _ , -Little Frank waa taught he was made of dost. As he stood by the window watching the dust as the wind was whirling it in eddie?, he exclaimed, seriously, "Mt, I thought tho dust looked as though there was going to be anotberjUtlie boy made." FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITOL. The H amor cd Negotiations for a Triple Alliance - President Gi ant in fftvorof ? War-Canada and ?an Domingo Baez in Favor of Annexation. A Washington lotter, of tho ICth ?net., to the Bait i tn oro Gazette, says : Tho report of the triple alliaro? ie regarded by tho Cabinet as a stock jobbing report. Gen? eral Grant himself would bo ruiner pioaaed with the idea, for it is very evident that ho is in favor of a war. Ho ?B convinced that in case of hostilities England vould lose Canada and havo ita commorce destroyed. Some of the members of tho Cabinet oro anxious to know what port the Southorn leaders would take in caso of a rupture. Ibero is a decided movement on foot for tho annexation of St. Domingo. Contracts havo recently boon en? tered into for a line of steamers running from New York to (tamana Bay. An offert is being made to run a railroad .through tho riebest part of tho island, and it is expected that du? ring tho year llu ro will bo considerable white immigration. Baez, it is said, rather favors the projeo'. He is a mulatto, educated in Franco, and is desirous of more intimate?soOciation with whites. His great ambnion is to como to Washington as United States senator from the Sta/e of Domingo. Instructions of Air. Blotjjry-Changing thc Names of War Vessels-The Span. fist? Mission. A correspondent of tho Ba'?more Sun writes on tiiolGth instant : Secretary Fish yesterday :.iformed a lead? ing member of the Foroigo Aifaira Committee that the instructions to Minister Motley were about completed. It appears that in tho dis? cussion in Hie-.Cabinet meot:ng. last Friday, respecting those lostructieus; the reported triple European alliance wait alluded - to. Of course, as i hero is no official notification or stnh alliance, there is for thc present lo he no change in the deft rminatiou of tho govern? ment touching this question. So far as concerns the reported alliance, it has boon given out that the instructions would bo based upon points made ia Mv. Sumner's spooch, but it is known that Secretary Fish is opposed to taking such bold ground. There is assnranco that our minister will be very lit? tle restrained at the outset in his actions, and Joes to England somewhat as did Roverdv obnson, with general instructions only, and free to act noon his own best judgment, and commencing diplomatic negotiations de novo. An order will shortly be issued by the Saoro tary of the Navy ?hanging thc names of a largo nun.boi of ships in the navy. Under the law of Congress, the Secretary W*B required to name all vessels of the first-o ass after the States, the second-class af ter the leading c; ties ar rivers in the Union, and the third-class was left to his taste and discretion. Secretary Welles, it is alleged, disregarded the law and named the vessels as suited him and the de? partment. In reorganizing affairs the new Secretary has decided to carryout the law of Don gross, and accordingly a large number of :hc names of vessels will be changed. President Grant stated some ten dave ago ihat them would be no appointment made to he Spanish mission for somo weeks, aa Minis ;er Hale's resignation, dil not take effect until he first of July. No new minister will be lent out there until after that timo= The Bt- te nent, therefore, that General Sickles was ihortly to bo commissioned muet bo ptoma? ine. Thc Alleged Tripartite Negotiations A gain--Washington officials Troubled About inc itlatter-?Tho Monroe Doc. trine So-called--Its Purpose ?nd Mean? ing. Another Washington depuch says: The New York Tribune's ?Kj?*rk of Tester,- - lay that the.c is no gofidj^stfinoua dispatch rom Iiondou, has created ?? me discossion i?re< It-is argued by ?oa^J?S^^ the United | !t:ViCC- ir.uot, Zowc'r its iou?.. Sod tn?? ??*>?* hu- - ailiation must vastly affect tho popularity of he dominant faction. Such is tue legitimate fleet ot going off half-cocked, under the igni ion of Sumner's extravagant rhetoric and chandler's bragga?ocia. In truth, the whole oour*o bf the Senate, and ts blind endorsement by the Executive, in the ndeceut haste display erl in the recall of Minin? er Johnson and otherwise, have placed the >eople ot this oountry in an entirely false posi ion. It was attempted some months ago by he Radical press to show thar, the so-called 'Monroe doctrine" justified propagandiem on he part of this government. To intelligent eade?s il is unnecessary to say that it meant ireoisely the reverse. The psasage in the nesaage ot Mr. Monroe to Congress in 1826, viiioh is popularly known under this name, va? inserted in consequence of the alarming loctxineof the right of ''intervention" in the at? tira ot individual nations and their appendages, iromulged by the combined absolute govern nents of Europe, known as the "Holy AHianoe." The invasion of Spain by France in 1823 to pro rent the establishment of a constitutional gov? ernment, to which King Ferdinand had consent id. and to which there was little or no opposi? tion in Spain, was an example of the anpiioa ,ion of the pernicious principles asserted by hose despots. Mr. Monroe, in the message .eferrad to, protested against this doctrino bo? ng applied to America, and declared that any tttempt on the fart of European powers to ex ond tho system of "national interference" for lie purpose of controlling in any manner the governments of this hemisphere, "which had istablished their independence," would be con? sidered aa the manifestation of an unfriendly Imposition towards the United Slates. This is all there is of the Monroe doctrine, md it will be perceived that the absurd con? tact of congress, as a body, for the past few pears, and the recent nonsensical speeches of ts individual members, have notjonly placed this government in direct antagonism to the principies thus avowed in 1825. ont given the governments of France, England and Spain tho high stand-point of maintaining those pi inoipies against their threatened viol ilion on our part. A time may come, and doubtless will, when it will suit the interests and senti? ments of all parties, that tbe present colonies of European powers on this continent shall Bittier torm themselves into separate republics or become absorbed in this; but the policy (if such it can be called) inaugurated by the Radi? aals, and io the process of being carried out by force, must, in the nature of things, immeasur? ably postpone it. THE FREEDMEN'S liUREAU. Its Condition, Organisation ama Opera, atone Under the Hew Order of Things. A Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser sends to that paper the following account of the present condition and organisa? tion of that famous Institution, the Freedmen's Bureau : The Howard University buildings are admi? rably situated on the hill north of the city, and the view from the front entrance of the mam building is as fine a one as you can get about Washington. The Freedmen's Bureau now has its headquarters up there. General Howard will probably romain in charge of it all summer, though there was a deal of talk some weeks ?go about sending bim off to other duty. He still retains General E. Whittlesea as adjutant, General Balloon aa disbursina officer, General H. M. Whittleaoy as quarter? master, and General Bewail as inspector. There bas lately been a thorough reorgani? zation of tho bureau forces. The position ol assistant commissioner baa teen abolished and there are now none of this class of offioeti anywhere. The position of State disbursing officer bas also boen discontinued, and th? flnau ces are now entirely managed by Genera Balloo?. Tbe office of quartet must er is soot to bo dosed; and in fact General Whittlese: and his four clerks are now doing nothing bu settling up the old business. Of all there wai in the bureau a couple ot years ago, theie re malo only tho educational and bounty elaimi divisions. The establishment no longer ad ministers the criminal laws, no longer deals n eorn ard bacon and other supplies, no tongo furnish is transportation for refuges and freed men. Its whole duty now is to aid the oausi of popular education tn the Sooth, and to aa eist colored soldiers sad their heirs ta oolloo! ing the bounties promised by government dur lng the war. There is ono Superintendent of eduoation it each of the Southern States, and each aupox intendent las one derk only. The mparts tendente, a? designated in the order just ii aacd, aro as follow*. : K.

LOWIB, Atlanta, Georgia; Colonel Ii ' wm Beecher, Montgomery, Alabama; H. B. Pease, Jackson, Mississippi; E. W. Mason, Mew Orleans. Louisiana; Joseph Weloh, Austin, Texas; W. W. Colby, Little Book, Arkansas; Lieutenant-Colonel O.E. tompton, Nashville, Tennessee; Colonel B. P. Runkle, Louisville, Kentucky, and John Kimball, Washington, for tho District of Colum? bia, Maryland, Delaware, and West Vir? ginia. Snob of these gectlom ?n aa are in Um army draw their regular army pay; the civili? ans are paid out ol the bureau funds; tho com Sensation ranges from $1200 to $2100 yearly, io superintendent can employ more than one derk; and each official is expected lo givo his wholo time to the educational work. The bureau oan aid schools to only one way by putting up, or assisting to put up and re? pair, school buildings; it has no funds where? with to pay teachers. It , is ent?riner on a now policy; heretolore it has'niostly aided schools and academies in towns and cities; hereafter it will endeavor to do moro work in tho country and small villages. The new instructions, issued a day or two ago, specially enjoin super? intendents to labor in this direction. Baoh superintendent is to report briefly every month to the general superintendent here, Mr. J. W. Alvord, and in January and July there must be tull semi-annual reports to tho commissioner. Tho spring reports show an improved feeling everywhere--in most localities the residents know that General Grant is now in the White House, and that the ballot cannot be taken away from tho black man. The appointment of some colored per? sons to office is mentioned as ono of the agen? cies working toward tho'enlightenment ot the whites. . i? The bouuty division of tho bureau is in charge of Mr. Drew, under whom are fourteon clerks. There is a deal more labor hero tban Eersons commonly suppose. 'Tho bureau must oop up a constant fight with thieves and sharpers, and, at the leas , it is probable that the rascals manage to cheat many of the no groea out of a considerable portion of their dues, ihe situation in tins regard is worse in Kentucky and Tennessee than in any other States. An average of about $250 000 per month is paid over to claimants. A complete historv of every claim is kept, and the books seemed to me models of neatness and orderly arrange? ment. So far ns is practicable, the money goes to claimants through the Fieodmeu's Savings Banks of the South-the officers ot which in? stitutions are presnmod to be generally ac? quainted with tho neerood in their respectivo localities. Two or three bounty ajrents are, however, kept on duty in oaoh State-all these are detailed army officers. The number of this olass of officials is being reduced aa fast as possible. The bureau is selling off its property wher? ever it can find purchasers. It has control of the Arlington estate on the opposite side of the river from Washington; it was boucrht in by the government at a tax sale, and that por? tion not occupied by tho soldiers' cemetery is routed out to colored persons, some of whom bave nice little farms. Most of the buildings in this oity at one time held by the bnreau bave been transferred to the quartermaster's lepartment. There is considerable property it Macon and Augusta, as well as some in Lexas and South Carolina, of which the com? missioner is ostensibly lu charge-it cannot yet be sold beeause of disputes about the gov? ernment title. Many thousand acres of aban loned land wore once on the books of the bu? rean, but this is given up as fast as its owners xime forward and establish their titles. ?ff-HIE NEATEST, THE QUICKEST AND THE CHEAPEST_THE NEWS JOB OPFIOE, No. L49 EAST BAY. h*v*Jxmrnr ot 'material or nie mum* i?.*.uy-Au'd latest styles, ls prepared to execute, ai he shortest notice, and in the best manner, JOB ?BINT1NQ of every description. rou* orders elsewhere. ~~MW VERGN E '8 ELECTRO-CHE BUCAL BATHS.-A BRANCH OF OB.
