MR. EplroR-I learn that quite sir is making in town in relation to the Post Oice-and the pro- babiliy that the Post Master General is about to re- move MT. Woodraf learn, moreover, that Mir. Woodruff is circulating petition to have himself retained in office.

 This state of things has led mo to think about the natter and enquire into the facts, What are they If understand them, they are as follows: Barnett H'iHians was removed upon tho ground of bis being dsflH!tes; aad Mt. Woodruff was supposed to have had much to do in prelerring and sustaining the charge. Itis pretty well understood, also, that Mr. Woodruff had long desired the office hmseE and had Col. Ashey's promise of aid in getting tt, long be- fore anything was heard ol Williams defllcation- Did not Woodruff hold the draft upon the protest oi which Williams was declared a delaulter, and re- moved: l have understood such to be the case, though have no knowledge of the fact Ii it be so, however, it would seem that Woodruff had such a holy horror of detalcaion, that rather than let a deftulter remain in office, be very parioicqlly had him removed, and then very magaamimoa8g took the office himself Itseems to be, now ascertained, that Williams indebtedness the aefalcaiioa which hor- rifed WoodrufI) amounts, only, to some Mirtg or forty dollars.

 But the scene and the parties change It seems that Woodruff has hardly got warm in his nest before some -meddlesome person (Gov. YELL it is said to bel represents to the Post Master General that WOOdrgG himseifis defn!ter and mol for the pal try sum of mifttor forty doliars. Oh no that were below the range of his genius and ambition. But to the aristocratic tune of nearly Four Thousand Dol lars' And upon this charge his removal is deman- ded. We'll if Williams was removed (and justly in Woodru's opinion) for falling short foriy dollars, what should be the fate of Woodruff for falling short one Hundred fines tofy dollars? He very gracefully commended the cup to Williams lips, pro6tted by his removal and then steps bravely and brawy about like the eyecutioner iR dead mans clothes. This
