A letter from Washington says: "Nearly $1,300 were paid for the funeral expenses of the late Postmaster-General Brown, upon the order of a Secretary, and without the color of Law. The matter will be investigated. Gov. Brown' was rich, and this imposition ou the Treasury is a matter of. nvuch mortification to his real friends.

Ever tending to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer. It is now stated positively that Mr. Mc Lane has failed in the treaty arrangements and negotiations with Mexico, which have been in progress for some: time, and he has abandoned all hope of a satisfactory treaty with Juarez, or with Miramon, in the present condition of Mexican affairs. It is believed to be his opinion that nothing can be procur ed but by force.

The dam age to the building is estimated at frqm $10,- 000 to $12,000 N.o clue has yet been discov ered as to the perpetrators of this hellish act A breach between the Archbishop Of Paris and the Court is talked of. Th,o Archbishop h said to have given the request to officiate at the "Te Deum" for the battle of Magenta some such answer as this : " I cannot join in thanksgiving for the murder of 15,000 human Iteings, nor raise a hymn of joy founded hpon the pain and misery of others ; but I will sing a 'DeProfundis' and 'Requiem' fortheflonls of the departed with the greatest pleasure." ATnumberof gentlemen from different parts of the Union are-making arrangements for! an .early private meeting at Washington, to consult as to the best means of bringing Gen. Lane, of Oregon, prominently before the coun try as a candidate for the Presidency. The' latest edition just published of Web ster's quarto dictionary gives thfollowing definition of Zocaves: "The name of an ac tive arid hardy body of Boldiers in the French service, originally Arabs, but now french men who wear the Arab dress." It is " de rived from the Arabic word Zouaoua, a con federacy of the Arabic tribes who live on the mountains back of Algiers." An exchange says, Private advices from Texas lead us to believe that Sam Houston will, in all probability, beat his opponent, the Democratic party's nominee, for the Govern orship of Texas.". The, Canadians have sent the Speaker of their House to invite Queen Vic to come over and visit her loyal-subjects. They expect, however, to take up with the Prince of Wales. The New York Tribune, of the 12th inst., says Mr. and Mrs. Sickles are now reconciled and that he lives with her, estranging many friends who were devoted to him during the late trial.

He started from White's Pleasure' Grourids and first walked down the rope nearly, one hundred feet backwards. He then returned, took his balancing pole, and walked to the Canada side. He proposed to put on sack before leaving the America u Bide bpt his friends there refused id permit him to do so. The sack was sent ronnd to th Canada end of the rope, and M. Blondhvput it Over his head and returned "with it to the place of starting. This sack was made of Indian blankets, with places' cut for his arms. He had no difficulty in crossing thus blindfolded except that his balancing pole caught two or three times in the guy rojKfs. He laid down upon the rope in the sack, and performed some other feats. The success of M. Blondin in, walking this rope seems to be established now beyond all doubt. FA young man at pre sent residing in this city, called upon us this morning to show, a letter addressed to M. Blondin, accepting his iiryitation to carry some one across the Niagara on a rope. The name of this person is Henry L. Young, ftnd he informs M. Blondin that he is 24 years old, is five feet five inches high, weighs 120ft, and is ready to mount the back of the intre pid walker and be- borne across the great chasm. " The Washington Constitution, the official paper, recommends to the President's North ern friends to imitate North Carolina delica cy, as follows: "The announcement of the President's intention to visit Bedford Springs, accompanied by Miss Lane, has caused "a greal sensation in the political and fashiona ble circles of the large cities. A strong tide is already flowing towards the Springs, and it is not expected that therms will be sufficient accommodation for the crowds that will gath er there next week. There is jnstone little hint that may as Well be given to "the- mis cellaneous public" on this occasion, suggest ed by what occurred during the President's visit to the University at Chapel Hill. Dur ing his sojourn in North Carolina nobody talked politics with him; and among sll the crowds that -paid him respect at -different places, and the eminent statesmen and rising politicians by whom he was frequently sur rounded, no man spoke to him about office either in behalf of himself or others. Let'us see whether the same exemplary and gentle manly reserve and consideration will he prac tised at Bedford as were so pleasantly and creditably exhibited in theOld North State." Voters, Be&d !

It appears that on last Sunday morning, ,as the Pike's Peak boys were crossing Skunk Bottom, they passed a train of Mormons who were busily engaged, men, women and children in endeavoring to extricate a number of their wagons that were stuck fast in the mud. While stopping for a moment to witness the exertions of the Saints, they accidentally over heard a young girl, of about nineteen, ex claim, 'I wish I w-as drowned in that slough!' Their interest was at once awakened, and they interrogated her as to why she made the wish. Sh replied that she was tired of life, that she had s&rtJ3rom Iowa City for Salt Lake with hef-dker'wh0 4a a ilonnon El der ; that she had eea compelled to walk all the way thus faraftd'lliat when she expres sed a desire to leave the train, and return to the city, they invariably stopped her mouth. She was informed by the " Peakers" that if she desired to return to lowa City she should go back with them ; to which she replied that she wished very much to return. The Mor mons numbering some fifty men, gathered a round, armed with guns, knives, pistols, Ac, and deelared that she should not go back. The Peak boys, nothing daunted, armed themselves with guns and revolvers, and an nounced their determination to take the girt at all hazard, and proceeded to carry oat their intentions. For a time a fight seemed inevitable, but finally Mormon courage gave Gen. Leach and the Legislature. - In the last Sentinel, under the caption of " Gen. Leach's Record in the Legislature, the charge is made that Gen. Leach, in the Legislature of 1850-'5I. voted for the Ten nessee 'and North Carolina Railroad artdsavs. f which; if it had passed, would have cost the tate no less than seven millions of dollars; and, putting on an appearance of fairness and honesty, that paper refers to the House jour nal. Jan. 24, i85lp. 1017. Now, fellow-citizens, vou will find on ex amining the Journal, that the following mem bers 01 the (general Assembly, from this van- gressional District, voted for that same ran road bill, viz: Thomas Ruffin, Jr., of Rock ineham ; Allen Flvnt and Col.

The charge, then, made by the Sentinel a- gainst Gen. Leach of an attempt to pack a debt of seven millions on'ttie State, is also made against each of the iembers ubove namea. . - Now, let us ask these gentlemen the ques tion, whether said charge is true or false, and we want each of them to answer for himselt. What sav vou, Allen Flyut? and what reply do ybu make, Col.

Now, honest and 'truth-loving voters, what reliance can you place in a paper utlering such wilful falsehoods?

Let us warn you, in lime, fellow-citizens, against these lying artilices, the object of which is to draw off the public mind from the enormous extravagance, fraud, and corruptions of the present Administration. Gen. Leach, while in the Legislature, was always on very important committees, and this accounts for his necessary absence froin the legislative halla occasionally when unim portant votes were taken. The yeas and nays were called scores of times in one day, the re sult involving nothing of any importance. At times, when Gen. Leach was absent, he was in the committee-room, or attending to other important business.
