A stranger named Michael Goderet, died suddenly at his boarding bouse ou Sunday last. Ilia body wan discovered in the evening about 8 o'clock, nil J a Jury of Inquest was immediately summoned by Jno.

There were 14,010 orders on the Post Office Department for postage stomps fur second qnar<er of 1S59, amounting to $ 1,366,9S'2; and 12,480 for the second quarter of 18G0, amounting Ci c-o ?n r\ ?t- - ? ?w vi,uiwtot;?/. i/rcrvoso in me uuiuocr oi or? ders;'2,lC0; being about 17 per cent. Increase id the value of postage stamps issued. $306,377 being about 22 percent. This reduction in the amount of labor on a largely-increased issue has been effected by furnishing each ofiico with tho full amount required for its quarterly supply, as nearly as can be calculated, and forbiding postmasters from making several orders in the same quarter.

Among tlie able and eloquent speeches delivered at the Charleston Ratification Meeting, which endorsed tho nominations of Brechintibgk and Lane, was that of Hon. W. 1*. Miles, ho didinguished representative in Congress rom that District. Mr. Miles approved tlio Resolutions of the nceting, and endorsed the courso of tho delegation to Richmond. The whole question of 'Convention" or "Anti-Convention," was a >ast issue, and should no longer divide us at ?ome, and he recommended a cordial co-operitiou in tho support "ol Breckinridge and ..am; hh uio oesi nioue 01 securing our just iglits in the Union. Ho discusses at length the great issues which iow divideHho North and South, and distract I he Democratic party. The "Wilniot Proviso" ind "Popular Sovereignty," arc shown to bo qually unconstitutional, nnj equally inimical othc best interests of the South. A inoro >nscl.is8 aRsumplion than the Territorial Soverlignty doctrine of Judge Douglas could scarce y be found?one so totnlly unsupported by the Constitution, or by a just construction of the Cunsas-Nebraska Act. On (he other hand, the rights of Congresional protection of slave proper^* in the Ter itorics is clearly guaranteed by the Conetituion, and has nlways been contended for by ioutheru Statesmen. - "* Willi regard to the proapecta of the Democray, lie dues uot despair ; hut in ease of its deoat, and the triumph of Black Republicanism, 10 in prepared to stand by the side of Gen.

There would bo no "old fogy ism" bout him. His political opinions arc too faniliar to the country to require me to eay anyliing eoccerning them. His Frankfort speech lelivered last December, just after his election o tlio Seunfe of the United States, has been widely circulated, and shows his soundness on \ he great "iciestion of the day. His accept- , lice of the nomination on the platform adoptd by the seceding Southern States nt Rich- _ noud, proves that he is with us heart and soul nd worthy to bear the banner of the South. Gen. Lane is an honest, staunch soldier; a nan w ithcrut guile or deceit; of a lartre heart id gei croud nature; an uncompromising rion.d of States Rights and the Constitutional . ijunlity of all sections. With such leaders, we can go with brave carls into the conflict. The South enn follow ' lieru to battle, knowing thut there will be uo | iase retreat from the vantage ground of pnniple?no ignoble surrender of her rights?no isgraceful betrayal of her cause. If, in tlio coming contest with Black Repubicanisin and sectional domination, victory hould perch upon the banners of Breckinidge and I.ane, there is a chance for at least a einporary respite from frcesoil agitation.
