Retention of a public officer. --A petition is in circulation in Richmond, and has been very extensively signed, asking Mr. Lincoln to retain Col. Thos. B. Bigger as Postmaster. It is signed by members of all parties, and states that the Colonel has given satisfaction, as head of postal arrangements in Richmond, to five Presidents of the United States--a fact the public will readily admit. The Whigs protested against his removal when General Taylor was elected, and he was retained. Col. B. is a veteran of the war of 1812.

We propose now, not so much to enter into its merits, as to give some account of the writer, and to let the reader draw his own inference with regard to its credibility. In his own day, Sir Ronert acquired the reputation of the most fanciful writer that ever undertook to relate matters of fact. But his contemporary reputation seems to have died awon, and engaged in innumerable conflicts with French detachments, but was finally routed, with almost the entire destruction of his force at Banos. He contrived to reorganize it, but it was never so effective as it had been before its defeat. In 1812 we find him at Constantinople, whence he was sent on a secret mission to the Emperor Alexander. This mission forms the subject of the posthumous book, the title of which stands at the head of this article. Its statements with regard to well known
