'- The reader will find below a letter' from Judge Ellis, addressed to the Editor of this journal, in which he withdraws his name from, among those who have' been spoken of as likely to be nominated by the Democratic party for Governor. ' -' 1- The numerous friends of Judge Elite, in all por tions of the State, will, we know, regret as we do this determination on his part. He has and justty-, ! a strong hold upon the affections of the Democracy, ! and at the same time the entire respect and confi- ! dencc of the opposite .party. Elevated at an ealy age to the bench, he has sustained himself fromjtbe commencement of his duties, with marked ability, 1 dispensing justice with a firm but not unmerciful band, and winning upon all by the 'mingled dignity -, and suavity of his manners. Not unmindful of the value of popular regard arid' popular approval," still he has not gone out of his almost sacred and honor able sphere as a Judge, to seek it ; nor has he, though an ardent and inflexible Democrat, peiTaitte.d -himself to take undue part in political affairs pnhy occasion since he has been on the bench. It wasJUrit natural, therefore, under these' -i. and other circumstances which might be mentioned, that the minds of many of the party should have been fixed upon him in con nexion with the distinguished post referred to.- . - "We entertain no doubt, from our knowledge of the man, that his reasons for thi course are of a nature -to entitle him to increased respect among hisTrfends. The Democratic party, however, can boast cf many worthy, able, and true men, both in the East and in " the West ; and wc enterlaicTthe settled cohyiction--the result of past experience as well as cf the pres ent auspicious condition, of thing that a -candidate-will be nominated by the - approaching Convention who will bear the Democratic flag in triumph through the contest , - '. :- - , V. - ?

Abram Rencher, to the subjeot. 0 But the time when is a minor point ; the leading considerations are a full Convention, unani- -mity. of sentiment and purpose, and such a platform and candidate as cannot fail to meet the popular ap proval. . The Whig Convention will meet in Febru- ary. ; It is proper that the Whig leaders, as they hope to show cause, or rather will pretend to show cause, - why the administration of State affairs ought to be changed, should assemble first When they shall have made out their " bill of complaints," and shall have stated if such a thing be at all within the range of human probability what they are for, it will be time enough for the Democratic party, the tried and trusted of the people, to assemble ami res pondto re-affirin their devotion to those great prin ciples of government which have elevated the Re public to so -commanding a position in the scale of nations, and which, here at home, have contributed so essentially to the advancement of our industrial, financial and educational interests. . v We trust our Democratic friends in the various Counties will hold meetings at an early day and ap point Delegates to tho Convention. -.." - - - .

The Report of Mr. Campbell, the Postmaster General, is a document of much interest, and we re gret we cannot make room for it at length. It cvin- ces patience and labor on the part of that officer, and a peculiar fitness for the duties to which he has been ! called. Indeed, it may be said with truth that the affairs of this Department when we consider the vast increase of business occasioned by the foreign service, the rapid expansion of our territory and aug mentation of population were never so well admin istered as the- are now under Mr. Postmaster Camp bell. We must content ourselves with the following abstract : Abstract of the Post Master General's Rf.port. The whole number of Post OUiees in the United States at the close of the last official year, June 30th, 1853 was twenty-two thousand three hundred and twenty ; of this number, two hundred and fifty-five are of the highest elass, the Post Masters of which are appointed by the President At the present date, 1st December, 1853, the total number of Post offices is twenty-two thousand six hundred and eighty-eight. During the past year commencing 1st of July, 1852, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight Post Offices were established, four hundred and seventy nine were discontinued, and there were appointed to office during the said year, besides the eighteen hun dred and ninety-eight Post Masters to the newly es tablished offices aforesaid, thirty eight hundred and fiftj- upon resignation, two hundred and twenty-five upon death, one hundred and eighty-two upon change of site, nihety-ohe where the Post Master .had moved away, and twenty-three hundred and twenty-one on removal of prior incumbents, being eight thousand fivG hundred Post Mafcters appointed during the year ending 30th June, 1853.- , At the close, of the fiscal year, ending on the 30th day of June last, there were in operation ; within the. United States, six thousand six hundred and ninety -two mail routes ; their aggre gate length was two' hundred and . seventeen thous : and seven hundred and, forty-three miles, and five thousand five hundred and cighty;thrce contractors i were employed thereon.- ' , '" -;.

Benton : " ''-"- v Mr. Benton said: ,.:'; Vr'v'j"--'- Mr. Speakek: Tho relation in which I.have atood to the eminent deceased, whose loss. we all deplore, must plead my excuse for a departure from the an-, cient practice which limited the number of tribttt offerers, on an occasion like the present, to the mv-. er and seconder of the resolution which express the sense of the House at the death of a fellow-member. Natives of the same State, and nearly of the same age, wc emigrated when young to what was then the Far West; and by the favor of our adopted Stitea - were both returned, and nearly at the same time, to occupy seats on the floor of the American benate. Commencing he in 3 S 1 1, I in 1S20 we remained for thirty years (with the exception of the brief in terval in which he represented his country at a for eign court) members of the same body, intimately associated in all the current business of that body, and in . all the amenities of social and private life,- " But my knowledge of him goes beyond thirty years goes back to forty, and not then to the be ginning of his congressional service, when I first saw. him on this lloor. " And I mention this first timd of seeing him, and in what place, to do honor to jure public man who could so long retain the confiden ce of his constituents ; and to their honor for the stead iness of their support; and to thecredit ofour insti tutions, to which such stability between constituent and representative promises a duration not to be measured by the brief lives of those republics whose people were given up to fickleness and versatility. These circumsLmcts dead my excuse for depart ing frem a custom which limited the number of those who should have the privilege of expressing, in the presence of the national representation, their own and the general feeling at the demise of a brother member. The members who have preceded mc have stated, and well staled, the illustrious zareer of the deceased tracing his course through a long gradation, n wavs rising, cf public honors from the general as- sembly of his native State to the second ofaco of his country the vice presidency of this great re- country nublic. . - .L - To meet it onlv belongs to join my voice toihcirs. and to the voices of ail who knew him, in celebrat ing the integrity and purity of his life, the decorum of hi manners, his assidious and punctual attention to even- duty, and the ability and intelligence which he brought to the discussion of the national affairs during hia on service of thirty years. " Faithful to his adopted State, he exhibited, when duty to her permitted, the beautiful trait cf filial af fection to the honored State of his birth a Slate which has so many claims upon her children (be sides that of having first given them the vital air) for their constant and grateful remembrance, whereso ever they may go. As friend, ns associate, as native of the same Stite with the late Vice President King, I appear on this occasion, and feel it to be, in me his senior in age a providential privilege to assist in doing honor to his memory iu tho presvnee of the national represen tation. Loss OF the Rkvence Cutter Hamiltox. Wc copy the following melancholy account from the last Charleston Courier: "Loss of the U. S. Rfaexce Cutter Hamiltox. It is our melancholy duty this morning to record the I loss of the U. b. ltev;jnue Cutter Hamilton, Capt 1. E. Rudulph, ami, it is feared, all hands. She left the Dry Dock at this port on .Wednesday for a cruise, and having, as we learn, reached the ' Bar, in endeavoring to go to sea got ashore on die breakers in the vicinity, but was finally got off in the evening, although "in consequence of the dilacul ty of getting underway near the shoals, it was deem ed prudent to anchor until morning. ! At daylight, however, it commenced to blow a gale from the north east, which rendered it impossible to get the vessel umler-way in the position sho then lay,, and Capt. Rudulph, directing his attention to her security, brought all her chains and anchors into requisition, but the gale continuing to increase,.- one chain after another parted and she was driven ashore on Folly Island Breakers, on Thursday night, and the masts shortly afterwards going hy the board, and the ves sel leaking very badly, it was deemed best to aban don her, that being the only chance for saving theT lives of all on board. t Accordingly Capt. Rudulph, " Thomas Stone, of Boston, Quartermaster,--four men and two boys, took one life-boat, which getting spec- dily among the breakers, was " capsized, 'and every soul in her drowned, with the " exception of one of" the seamen named Jauits llagan, who had taken ths precaution, which the others hail neglected, of lash ing himself to this boat, and was picked up at sea-, near North Edisto yesterday, by,- the -Steamer, Cal- houn, Capt Barden, from Savannah, and brought to . this port . .- ' 'f t. . ,.y : The other life boat, of which ;no information haS as yet been ascertained, - although from the severity of the weather, but very slight hopes are entertain ed of her safety, contained Camiiius Saunders,: son of Gen. Romulus M. Saunders, of N. C., 1st Lieut, E. C. Ilinc,' 3d Lieut, there being no second LicuLv attached, and the remainder, of the. crow, which pro bably consisted of the Carpenter a nd our men. As far as we can learn, among, those on board, in . addition to the officers already-mentioned,- were John Mahony, Boatswain, George Carlerf Carpenter, of New England, James Sulljvan,-.

To write a communication ga thered -up by 4 a mere snapper up of unconsidered trirles" from the gossip of the streets, or street yarns of 'the avenue, is an easy task, but without any ere-. dit to 'tho -press which publishes, or advantage to those who may take the trouble to read such 'com munications. But to detail only facts li cm reliable sources, to "paint the folly as it ilies, " to do justice to talents, fidelity and industry, and condemn error and tergiversation, should be the object and cud of the labours of a faithful correspondent " ell, the ball is fairly opened. The Message has been read by the millions cf our republic" by the time you receive this, and they will have formed their own opinions of its merits. Such has been its high and elevated tone that with fhv excej iiens it meets with universal acceptance. Even the Nation al , Intelligencer, the great leader of the opposition, has acknowledged its high merits. You have also read the Report of your countryman, Mr. Dobbin. It has created a great sensation here and elsewhere, and all acknowledge that no report ever issued frv.s! the Navy Department has ever excelled it either in stylv or matter. He probes with a mastei's hand the diseases that infect the whole body of the pres ent Naval system, and prescribes, with an experience far riper than his years would warrant, tho remedies to restore healthf ul and efficient action. You will of course, publish this valuable document It speaks for itseif, aud is its own commendation. It has pla ced Mr. Dobbin on hih grounds, and attracts the earnest attention of all the warmest congratula tions of his friends. The electien of Col. Forney as Clerk of the House by so decided a vote, has been wormwood and gall to the New York lJcrald ; indeed, from theHourish of trumpets and parade cf arms by the clique of hards and malcontents, it was supposed that some show of opposition would be made to him. But it has all vanished into idle air, 0:1 the pprtach of truth. That ForneyJ - s fjHllis rtOlV. will (Vnt- ;.ln:.t't. -n able and sagacious politician, devctcd and enthusias tic, all admit. By the by, your readers in North Ca rolina will be surprised when they learn that he is a near kinsman of Hon. Peter Forney, who repre sented your State in Congress in 1S12-15, and Col. Daniel il. Forney, who was in Congress from 1815 to 1818. They sprung from the same stock in Penn sylvania Oa yesterday a resolution was introd-.f.cd into the House to take from the Clerk the annoint inent of Librarian. Tl.is was intended as a cut clu cl at Fornej-, since he recently removed for inattention to his duties the late incumbent, a Mr. Parker of Va. Doubtless it would be a relief to the Clerk if the House would take the appointment, as it would re lease him from any responsibility for the fidelity of the incumbent. The death of the late Vice President WiTlIam Ti wav: felt that she was dear to his heart, and towaids her worthy son. he always acted as an affectionate bro ther. After a long life in public service, untarnish ed hy a single error, but adorned by many virtues, he has sunk to the gTave with the regard of a!' tvA the enmity of none.
