WILMINGTON. Nav Al la45.

WARRINGTON, May 81, 1645.
DEAR SIR: In compliance with your request, l
have caused statement Of your accounts to be
made, which is transmitted, together with letter
from the auditor, acknowledging the adjustment and
final settlement of the account.
In transmitting you these papers, 1t is but justice
10 you, and duty of the department, 10 say that
the regular statement Of your accounts-their ac-
curacy not leaving one single item for controversy,
after a service of nearly sixteen years-the prompt
payment of all sums due the department, through
a series of years ofunexamped arrangement in the
currency and of general embarrassment in the bust
ness Of the country, deserves and receives the
warnest commentator of this department.
In addition to this, it is proper. that should add,
that your connexion with the department has not
been limited strictly to the duties Of deputy post
master. Your position and character pointed you
out as proper Individual for employment, on many
important occasions, as special agent Of the de-
partment and as one of its collecting and dsburs-
ing agents In the performance of these varied and
important duties, your conduct is believed to have
net with the cordial appreciation of the several
heads Of this department under whom you served.
Your energy, activity, and zeal in the performance
of these varied duties, merit from the present head
of the department no less commentator than the
prompt and accurate adjustment of your accounts
as the deputy postmaster at Nashville.
Whilst cannot but regret the loss Of 80 valuable
an officer from the service of this department, it is
a source Of qualification to know that your services
are properly appreciated by your fellow-citizens,
and that you have been transferred TO higher and
more important station, where your services will be
more extensively useful to the country.
am, very respectfully, your friend,
c. JOHNSON,
Postmaster General.

~ From the Nashville Wing.
GENERAL ARMSTRONG.
We have pleasure in laying before our readers
the following official letters to General Armstrong,
the highly and universally respected postmaster
of this place:
AuDIToR's OFFICE, P. o. DEPARTMENT.,
May 81, 1845.
SiR Having presented to you statement Of your
account late postmaster at Nashville, Tennessee,
showing balance due from you of S49l 81, l have
now the pleasure to acknowledge that have this
day received from you certificate of deposte made
by you in the Bank of Washington, to the credit of
the Treasurer of the United States for the service
of the Post Office Department for the exact amount
of said balance
To acknowledge, as thus have, the settlement
of your account, and the full and prompt payment
Of the amount claimed to be due, is no more than
you had right to ask, than is freely accorded to
ali. But l think further acknowledgment is due
10 the length and value of your services. Receiv-
ing your appointment ut the hand of President
Jackson, in 1929, you had already served seven
years when my connection with the department
commenced, in 1885, In the nine years that have
since elapsed the department has had in its accounts
all the difficulties necessarily arising out of the
changes in so large system, consequent upon the
general failure of the banks in 1887, and the
sary abandonment of the deposite system; upon
the establishment of the sub-treasury act in 1910,
and again upon its repeal in le4l. Having come in
for your full share of these difficulties, in addition
those peculiar to your local position collector
and depository Of balances due from late postmas-
tiers, district attorneys, and Others it is but sheer
justice for me to say that in the midst of the whole,
your duties have at all times been performed in the
most correct and exemplary manner Not single
instance has occurred during the whole term of your
service, so far as know, of your failure in any
duty enjoined, whether Of performance or report;
nor has there been single item of dispute in the
adjustment of your large accounts.
Regrettng the termination Of these valuable SER
vices to the department, and with my best wishes
for your welfare in the distinguished position you
are about to occupy, remain, dear sir, your ODE
dent servant,

Auditor.

THE provisions ofthe act of Sd March, 1876, NJ
i quiring that all letters, packages, and otsl
matters, received through the mail by officers Of Ill
government after the first proximo shall be charg|
with postage, makes it desirable that retrenchma|
be effected in the mass of papers heretofore tsn,
mitted to this department. Much may be done n
this respect, with advantage to the public seral
by COMPRISING the statements and returns requin|
by law regulation, so as not TO lessen their dsI
tinctness; and whenever more than one is made ID
the same day to the same office, to include them 4
upon sheet, if their extent and character will y
low. In making communications to any oficGd
the department, care should be taken to conden1
them, so as to bring the hostages thereon within NJ
lowest possible limits.
In regard to hostages charged on the letters, pacI
ages, and other matters, received by you throuss|
the mail touching the duties or business Of your II
flee, you will be pleased to keep an account Of ih|
same in detail, showing from whom each letter, d.
is received, and the amount of postage thereof
which account, verified by oath, you will transmts|
this department at the close of each quarter, and M
proper order will be Immediately given respetlj
its payment.
