Complimentary Attentions to a Mail agent.

--A large crowd, numbering several hundred persons, collected at the depot of the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad, on Saturday afternoon, to notify the newly-appointed Mail Agent, Geo. S. Kueller, of Norfolk, of the dissatisfaction which his appointment, under the Lincoln Administration, had caused among the citizens of Petersburg, and also to inform him of their intention not to allow him to hold his commission for the office. The Express, of yesterday, says:

‘ There was an immense excitement among the crowd when the approach of the train was announced, which increased until its arrival, and considerable disappointment was displayed when it was announced that the new agent was not forthcoming, but soon resolved itself into good humor, and the large gathering dispersed. Mr. Kueller had not received his commission, and of course could not enter upon the duties of his office. He is expected, however, this afternoon, when the ceremony of inviting him to quit will be performed. We heard of no disposition on the part of any one to offer violence to the individual, unless he was to continue in discharge of the duties of the post — in which case he is to receive a decent and effective coating of tar and feathers, and a plunge bath in the muddy waters of the Appomattox.

’ The Intelligencer adds that the agent that came in his place, as soon as he arrived, seeing a large crowd had assembled, exclaimed with all the force his lungs would allow, "I ain't he,"
