DEAD LETTER OFFICE. writer in the Wof-

department of the General Post Office
1.-THE dead letter Office in the Post Office De-
par,men,,is great curiosity. Thesdead letters are
returned 10 the General Post Office. with the quar-
terly accounts from 5000 post Offices which now
exist. Five clerks are employed in the dead letter
office, The envelopes are taken from the packages
by one clerk, who ties string round the contents
and casts them into baske,-the next clerk asserts
them and compare them with the post bills-sendng
the letters to clerk to be opened-on opening the
letters containing no valuable Enclosures. are thrown
into basket and destroyed. Those containing valu
able incIosu7es are returned 10 the office where they
were mailed, and sent to the owner if found. Ifnot
claimed, all money is placed in a seperate fund, and
the amount recorded that II can be paid TO The
owner at any future period if claimed They open
about two hundred and fifty thousand letters per
quarter-there are now several cart leads IN the
office unopened. The work ofopenihg and assort-
ing is very tedious and laborious"

 Fycai Ageaf.-The Mcrchants Bank hns been mHuie Fiscal Age=i for the GnCernneni in this civi and has received ihs eects of the laie Sub Treasft Congress conld create better Fiscal Agent than this, Il they were s0 continue their special session round the year. There are now specle-paA ing banks suitable to receive, keep safely. and disbmse the public revenue, in Charleston, Mobile, and New Or leans, and sdme other places south and vest All the arrangements ofihs sort which the government needs is ready its hands, and in better form than any new creation. In addition to the employment of these anks let the government allow it's revenues to run little short, and suppl, the deficiency by erea- ing ten millions of treasury notes, of denonlnaionS from five dollars a thousand dollars, ihe larger de- nominations with interest and the smaller without, and let those be paid out at Washington and whereA- CT more payments are to be made thah the receipts will meet, and let them be received every where in payment of dnes to the government.
 This plan would create National currency of equal value in all parts of the country, and fitted for all the purposes of bank notes It would also operate as n regulator of Treasury balances, preventing inconye- nient accumuatons, and at the same time supply ing a ready resource, of the best and cheapest knd in all emergencies. This is our plan of fiscal operations It is probably simple to be capable of keeping party together, but it would keep the country togeh- CT, and be much more likely to bring support to an Administration by its quiet usefulness than any fifty million corporation, with all the form and circum- stance of Bank.-Journal of Commerce.

 Mr. Henderson from P. O. Committee, reported a bill appropriating S4s7 657 for the payment of mail contractors, with amendment proposing that 3D. OOe of it should he allotted to the purchase of new hooks and the appointment of thirteen new clerks. Mir. II. was for immediate consideration. Mir. Call houn asked for days delay consider the bill-re- fused. Mir. Levier opposed the appointment of thir- teen new clerks-he said there already ftty-two ia Mir. Whittelsy's bureau. MT. Benton said the reason thirteen new clerks were wanted was that tried and competent democratic clerks had been turned out and the green-horns not able 10 get through the business-next year there would be another demand. The Postmaster had been so busy in turning and utng Postmasters in (at the rate of l3O per week. that he had time to attend to the finances of his department The amendment was agreed to- Mir. Benton (says letter wrer) moved to amend the bill by adding clause to take the franking privilege from members of Congress. Al present member of Congress has the privilege of iankng the whole year round; member forty days before he takes his seat, and ex-member nine months af- ter his time expires. This is extremely burden some to the department, and the great abuse of the privilege during the last summer by the Whg Exc cuti,e Committee of Congress, has aided considera- by in getting the department into its present embar rassments. John c. Clark, of the committee, has boasted that he repeatedly franked ten thousand packages in a day, consisting of Ogle's speeches, Botts' Hooe case, Poinsett's standing army, Sc. Mir. Bedton's amendment voted down by strict party vote, after animated discussion The ques- lion then takenon ordering the bill to be engross- e1, and carried-ayes p, noes l5.
