' It is held by the Post Office Depart? ment, that the reoent decision of the Attorbey-General, that doublo postage should not bo collected at the ofiicc of delivery on the unpaid postage of letters pajrt|y'prepaid, by. at least the full rate, does not apply to mailnblo matter of the third class, viz: Pamphlets of occasional publication,' magazines, unsealed oirou lurR.'bpok manuscripts, &o. By the Act of January 9, 1873, all mailable matter of the third class must be' fully prepaid by stamps at the ofiico of mailing, and if not thus fully pre? paid, should be held for postage, and not forwarded to its destination. If, how? ever, through the inadvertenoe of the' postmaster at the mailing, office, snob matter' should be mailed without suoh full- prepayment, by Section 152 of the postal'edde, the postmaster at the office of delivery most charge and ooileot dou - ble the prepaid rates.

The Comptroller of the Ourreuoy states that tho bank will bo able to oorreot the mistakes ulready made, and coutinue a business of great usefulness to the class of depositors for whose benefit the iustitutioa was organ? ized.

Tbo house of a colored man, named Benjamin Hal), iu Christ Church Parish, was burnt to tho ground, on Thursday night last, and, horrible to relate, the owner?au elderly man?was burnt to death. The Pickens Sentinel states that a meteor fell North-east of that placo on i Tuesday morning, 25th ult., at day-light, I and exploded near tbo earth, making u loud report, resembling that of a cannon.

Wagner, charged with tbe murder, on Thursday, of two Ger? man women, Coruelia Christenson and Aouette Laweon, on the late of Shoals, off the Maine coast, about eight miles j Sooth of Portsmouth, N. II., was arrest? ed iu.Boston, last night, and committed tu ?iwait a requisition by tho authorities of Maine, within whoao jurisdiction the murdors were committed. He is to be tent through Portsmouth, where the Mayor haa procured a squad of United 'BtatdS meines to guard him from the exalted populace. The murder, whioh was most brutal in its details, was discovered at an early hour ou Thursday morning, by members of tbe Hontvet family, at whose resi? dence the outrage was committed. Wag? ner, who was a former employee of Mr. Hontvet, arrived in his boat, from Star Island, at an early hoar on the evening of the murder. His mission, to all- ap? pearances, was the perpetration of tho crime which he subsequently committed, his sneaking manner, on arriving at the house, being suoh as to give rise to sus? picion, ou the part of Mrs. Hontvet, that he was iutent on some object which boded no good. He passed the front of tbe bouse and went to the rear, and soon after entered the houae. After a short conversation, he asked Cornelia Chria tenson. Vo ooine into the entry with him, as he bad something very important to comrnunioate. The woman, who sus psv?5d scmofchisg wrung, involuntarily started to acquiesce in Wagner's request. I Trembling with fear,'she approach od tho entry, where, on arriving, she discovered Wagner with an axe in bis hand. With a shriek, she started to return to the kitchen, where she had left Mrs. Hont? vet aud another woman, named Aunette Lawaoh; but before she oould re-enter the' door, eba reoaiyod a heavy blow on the head from Wagner with the axe. The blow was sUffloieht to kill her in? stantly. Thv. murderer, with tbe uxe in his baud, entered the room where the other two women were, and without a word, ?struck Miss Lawson a terrible blow upon the side. Tbe woman fell to the floor, her agony being Mich as to Boon occa? sion loud urica of distress. She was asked by Wagner where tbo money was that was kept iu the house, being at the same time warned that if she did not tell him he would kill her at once. She con? tinued to groan, seeming to pay no at? tention to what the bruto was saying. All at once, Wagner seemed to have be? come possessed of tbo spirit of a demon, and heaped blows thick and fust upon the head iiud body of the unfortunate woman. Mans Lawson's head was lite? rally crushed to a je'ly. Meanwhile, Mrs. Hontvet, who had received a severe blow from tho murderer with a chair, was hidden among the rocks on the inland, remaining in her secure position until between 8 and 9 o'clock, ou Thurs? day morning. Sho then ventured out, and crossed tho to a wall to Malaga Island, and by her cries succeeded in making herself heard by a man who had a house on Arppledore l'slaud. He went to her assistance, and found her suffer? ing from a blow on tho shoulder, and her feet uud parts of her body badly frozen, she haviug remained io the se? vere cold all those hours with nothing ou but her chemiao and a flannel night dress. A Traoedy in India?Twenty one Persons Killed.?A terrible disaster lately attended a Buddhist ceremonial at Black Town, ludia. lteligious proces? sions hud been frequent iu connection with the Vicuntu Daculhasi festival, and on this occasion one of them halted op? posite tho principal temple. Attached to this temple was a richly adorned pan dul, und underneath this tho idols were curried, surrounded by torcb-boarors and preceded by dancing girls. A crowd of people bad assembled, somo to worship aud others merely from motives of curi? osity; when tho throng became so great that one 01 tbo torch-bearers, a little hoy, was pushed aside, aud his ilainbeau catching the fringe, a general bluze on sued, tiome persons rushed toward the gateway of tho temple, but others .who were near ihe pagoda thought the safest pluoe for them wus inside of it. Ia about half an hour tho tire was extin? guished, bat tho entire pandal was de? stroyed, with the idols which had been carried thero and the ornaments with whioh they wero decorated. Twenty- J six porsons took rtfugo iu tho pagodu, whioh was only eight feet by ten iu dimensions, and held 11 largo idol in its centre, but tho smoke catered through small holes in tho door, aud only five persons were found alive when the lire was put out. Tho way to tbe pagoda was covered with pieces of brokod globes and shades from tho pandal, which seri? ously intorfered with the attempts of tho nativo police ro rescue those who were inside. Of thoso who lost their lives, four wero women, one a child of two years of age, ono a girl ten yoars old, one a boy and sixtceu were men. Catching a Tartar.?A few days ago, Mr. L. W. Spratt, a member of tbo law iirm- of Browster, Spratt it Burke, was summoned to sit upon a jury of inquest. Mr. Spratt claimed the right of exemp? tion from jary duty on tho inquest, by virtue of his profession. Tho coroner, howover, refused to exor.30 him, and he was compelled to sorve. Yesterday a warrant was issued by Trial Justice Levy, at Mr. Spratt's request, for the ar? rest of the corouer and his two deputies, Burke and Miller, for trial on the ohnrgo of unlawful detention of nn attorney at law. Tho corouer ia ut present absent from tbo city, so that the caao cannot bo examined uutil his return. It is pro? posed to make the cuso a test one, and it therefore promises to bo interesting.

In Ootober, 1839, he was promoted to a first lieutenancy.

He was also distinguished in the capture of the city of Mexico. In Maroh, 1851, he was in command of bis regiment. He was made full captain in 1851. For hia oon duct in the Mexioan war, the Legislature of Virginia voted him a sword, and bis fellow-oitize--s of Ohesterfield . County also presented him with a fine sword, gold-hilted, and with a gold soabbard, appropriately inscribed. At tbe beginning of the late war for Southern independence. Major Johnston promptly resigned his commission in the United States army, and offered his sword and services to bis native State and her associates. He was appointed Colonel of tho Twelfth Georgia Infant? ry, and served in that capacity till 1862, when b> Was wounded at the battle of AIleghauy? and ptdtnoted tovBri?ndfor Generah- -His brigade consisted of Xne TweIIth* deo*gia;sl4-tfcy fM TweptV llfth ?nd; Tbirty-?rst VupHfr add two other regiment*.'

The Southern Association.?The Southern Association of New York mot last night, at the Grand Central Hotel, parlor 217. There was a large attend? ance, including tbe moat prominent business men from tbe South residing in tbis city. Mr. P. W. L. Burbank pre? sided, aud Mr. H. B. Dixon acted as secretary. The secretary read tbe minutes of the last meeting and the con? stitution of the Association. The chairman then introduced .ex-Go veruor Lubbock, of Texas, who address? ed the meeting. He said that an associ? ation, composed of so many men of high respectability, coord oertainly do a great deal of good. He could understand that tbeir friends from tbe South, while they appreciated their business enter? prise, could also appreciate their hospi? tality aud kindly sociability. It would be necetsary for thorn to band thorn selves as brothers. Tbo speaker refer? red to tbo advantages to be derived from founding a good mercantilo library. As bo understood it, this association em? braced thoso oonneotud with the South? ern trade. The Southern States would ultimately succeed in reoeiving immigra? tion and would once more retrieve tbo fortunes they had enjoyed. Some of the States did not make very rapid strides towards wealth and great prosperity, but his State (Texas) was indeed becom? ing an ompire of trade. Georgia, Ala? bama and others were also great States; but tbe trade of all tbe Southern States was worthy of their attention. He hoped this association would succeed in attain? ing the groat object it aimed at. Colonel J. H. Hart, of Georgia, then explained tho object of tbo association. Ho said they were social, benevolent, and, indeed, national. Tbe war was a thing of the past. It was nut his fault that they could not kill all tbe "Yauks." Ho tried bard enough for four ycarr, nud others bad tried it, too. The only trouble was, there bad not beeu enough of them. Tho want of character was the only tbiug which debarred anybody from this association. Their object was : to invite all goutlemen conneoted with tho Southern trade to join tbem, no mat-1 tcr whether they were born in Maiuo or i Nova Scotia. Socially, the Southern men in Now York were a waif hero, and in order to bo successful, they must be true to themselves. The Secretary read tbo report of tbe Executive Committee, proposing a large i number of new mombers?some sixty or seventy. Tho report was approved, and tho election of other new members pro? ceeded with. Colonel Hart moved to appoint a com? mittee of three, which shall select suita? ble rooms or n building for nu elegant club house. This was tbo first import? ant stop that was necessary. Tho motion was carried, and tho meet? ing then adjourned. The committeo is composed of Messrs. T. W. Francis, Colonel B, N. True and Colonel J H. Hart. ? New York Herald, 8/7*. --*>?-?-- ? ??
