" We know from personal knowledge that since Mr Kendall had the supervision of the Department, the clerks have, during the session of Congress, worked with light ed candles, after dark. Washington City, Oct. 26th, 1S40. A hasty glance at ihe operations of the General Post Ollice Departments, and of the sixth Auditor's ollice, (for ihev are as closely- connected as the Siamese twins,) is sufficient to convince any one that the clerkships in either, are any thing but sinecures. The for mer is certainly one of the most important and complex under the government. It bind the whole social compact together. In its operations, embracing, as it dons, the whole map of the country penetrating the vast wil derness, to the farthest verge of civilization the tncrchaut, the mechanic, the farmer, the parent and child, all classes and conditious of society have a common iuterest. lies Lie the thousands of miles travelled ou railroads and in steamboats, kow many more arc tra versed in four horse post coaches ou the maiu roads which form the great travelling thorough fare, from one extreme ot' the country to another; then how many in stages, on toads of less importance; and then the thousands more which wind their devious way over the w ide w aste, or through the thickly settled for est; over the sandy plaio, or through the deep "Dismal Swamp;'' and all so arrauged as to lead out from the main roads and intersect with each other. On all these routes great and small, separate contracts are made, with the times of arrival and departure afiixeLto each, so that each may arrive al the place of Its destination in time to meet the pending mail for some other direction. The prepara tion, offering of proposals, lettings, general correspondence, keeping of route, registers, contracts, to say nothing of the immense la bor attending a single change, which may be required, affecting the routes, probably through an entire section of the country, ia certainly a most gigantic business, requiring a tfiorough geographical knowledge of the whole country, intelligence, decision, and the most patient and persevering application ' to .business. This branch of the department, I am inform ed, is under the charge of Major S. It. Hob bie, first assistant P. M. General, aided by W illiam II. Dundas, Esq., principal clerk. Look - orer the map of America, and, in your imagination, 8eo the whole face of it studded over with post offices, amounting to about fourteen thousand, at each of which there is a postmaster appointed; and the same routine of business is, of course, performed w ith the most diminutire and profitless as with the largest and most profitable. In the establishment of these offices, much cor res pon deuce is necessary to ascertain the precise location, route, cc. &c., upon which an of fice should be located, more especially in the new fetates and territories 1 think I can imagine am eaquiry of the department, rela tive to the location of the intended ofice, re plied to by some unlettered person, who had sicned a petuioB for it, replyinc that ,fsaid of fice should be in range ISro. ,said by some to be east by sonthest, and, as near eus I can guess, about miles from any other office," &c. &c. The changes made necessary by removal, death, or inattention to business, all added to the current amount of labor, show conclusively, that the business of this branch is highly responsible, perplexing, and requires no ordinary amount of industry. It is under charge of Robert Johnston, Esq., second as sistant Postmaster General, whose principal clerk is E. L. Childs, Esq. The business of the inspection office is, however, not less onerous or responsible than either of the for mer. Registers are here kept of all the arri vals and departures of the mails; and the post masters are required to report the same regu larly at stated periods. If the postmasters neglect this part ot" their duly, this branch of the department reports them to the appoint ment office for removal. The fidelity or faithlessness of contractors is here recorded: and the latter punished with lines, according to the amount ot injury sustained in conse quence of their remissness or nc-2li'reijje. During the winter season seasons of bad roads, high waters, kc. I can easily imagine that the business jf this division is gteatlv augmented, so that, in one sense, the clerks are as dependent on the elements for com fort and regularity in their business, as arc the mariners, who are tossed about on the billows. I am informed that whiist every case of delinquency is considered, each con tractor has an opportunity afforded him cf showing how it occurred, whether through circumstances beyond his control, or through carelessness of himself or agent. It is ap parent, then, that it requires a mind of supe rior dissemination to decide upon the amount of fine to be deducted from their pay, so that the delinquent may not suffer material injury, but be kept constantly in mind of his respon sibilities to the department. This branch is ft V to special agents of the - departTOCV &c. t was next conducted to the "dead fetter o5ce.B This presents a most singular appearance tb' the eye of a stranger. Here are thousand and tens of thousands of letters, brought together from every part of the country, pre senting an endless variety of shapes and sizes' in the folding; whilst, perhaps, there are hard ly three hands-writing in a thousand, precise-" ly alike. In this pile of letters, now called dead, are inscribed sentiments of the purest - and warmest affection. Here is one. written ir in a plain, old-fashioned style, ink very black, . " and letters large, appearing to have been . We.fr . witn tears ot tne writer; it is from" a momsr - (bless the endearing name !) in Ireland, i&zt - son in America. It appears the young "PST" -had shouldered his axe and gone out to X f - , the tall forest trees of the western wilds. 01-w' " what solicitude is here expressed what ad-. j vice, and the letter closes with a benediction T. ' , fiom the warmhearted mother. . - ''-.', r ' Then comes an hundred circular letterf'"t , about the schemes and drawing of lotteries' i'. ; and schemes of other kinds of business Here .iJ is a letter from an cuterprising young man ib "-v qis moioer, irota one ot tne new terniori -. whither he had travelled, all the waj from t2fcj ' dramU Slat a few years siace, "to sees. hi fortune," ho tells her that he "has set up school,'' has been appointed postmaster ' ' complains of the ucarcit of fruit, and requests the good old lady lo send hua "a peck of good, pippin apples," by Iho first conveyance, and " also states that he "left h'v yarn blockings behind. My curiosity being increased by the dls- : coveries 1 had made, 1 run my eye alongThp pile, and perceived a heary package, weigh-" ing several ounces, by the indication in red - ink, on the outeide, and amounting to several dollars postage. I shrewdly suspected that - thw was a small part of the sub-treasury, which hud, by some means, got out of its re gular coarse, and found its way into this re ceptacle of dead MUr upon the clerks open ing it, however, it proved to be four SjtN nails, which some tnaautacturer had enclosed to the President of ft Railroad Company, a a sample of some he had just finished. The opening of another huge parcel disclosed a present from a devoted mother, te her uaugh- t ter, perhaps an hundred miles distant, in the nape of night caps, puiorines, a. Oc., neat ly and beautifully arranged. One more example, and I will close, tf is from a young lady, who signs hei name Itlmily,' to a young gentleman, to whom", in a few weeks, she is to be united ra the bonds of "holy wedlock." What beautiful writing hew chaste and fine in conception! how neatly is every thought expressed! What calcula , tions for future happiness (heaven grant that they may be all realized) and how neatly is folded and superscribed, the seal bearing this significant motto wWe part to meet again.' In a pile of letters, such as I witnessed, who can imagine the efibrt of mind and genius exercised in (heir production. I was infornv ed that, by an estimate made not long since, ' upwards of 350,000 dead letters are opened each quarter of a year. , It is well known that all tbo branches et ' this extensive department, are under the carra and superintendence of the Hon. John M Niles, postmaster-general, who is reputed to be a most indefatigable officer. Tours, Be . 4 Vi Political From the Baltimore Republican.

No longer can they play too characters one adapted to the pre dilections of the South, and another to suit the inclinations and taste of the North. The hief character in the drama, the President elect, w ill, in a few months from this time, be compelled, from the nature of his station, lo drop the mask which has hid his real senti- , ments and policy from the public.
