The poüücians, that s, the slaveocracy, must have freé use of the nails, ns they of other men's labor, and of other things too numeróos to mcntion. - When the post-masler general ehnll report, at the approaching session of Congres3, a deficit of half a million or a sttiílion1 in his de-, wrtment, to bc paid by the free North, lelit )e understood why it is so. Let it bcunderetood Ihat the blessings of cheap postoge are denied tó the people, to give f iet postage to the politicians.

Amvotr. - Th9' expresses carry the letters tlmpny; the government those that gpTor nothing. The exprcF6e8 do business in the free States onlyhe government rrföHopeliees the bttisiness in the impoverishéd slave Stafés.

VVhat aggra vates the crime of theaceused, is the fact that he left a wife and two children in Warren county. A Picture oj War. - A lecture on the horrors of war was latei y delivered in London in which the lécturer, alluding to the various wars in which Great Britain had been engaged, stated, to the effect that from the commeneement of the war of the British revolution to establish William the Conqueror on the British throne, down to the war against Napoleon for the restorationof the Bourbons, the sum of Ll,427,000,000 had been spent, and 3,910,000 human beings sacrificed; that out of every slr'lling earncd by ihe poor man, six-pence went to pay the national debt. which was for the purpose of carrying on war! A Culinary Desiderátum. - The application of chemistry tocookery in F ranee, has produced a curious result, and one likely tobe as useful as curious. M. Milot, of the Academy of Sciences, has succeeded in obtaining by distillation, in a pure, colorless, and liquid form, all the properties of the various culinary vegetables. Thus he can put you up a bottle ofcarrots, parsnips, turnips, or onions, and you may carry it all over the world, certain of having with you the true flavor of the vegetable. A table spoonful is enough for one pound of meat. The secret lies in the mode of distillation, by which the offensive parts of the vegetable are left. It is already an object with commercial men to export these essences, which are termed aromatique, to the French colonies, and then with the govgovernment there is an intention of using them extensively in the Navy.
