The whole number of letters charged with
postage passing through the mails the past year,
reckoned on the postage received, agreeably to
4 basis heretofore approved, amounted to sixty
two millions.
II has been said that the newspaper and pam
phlet postage is not in proportion to the cost of
their trans sportaion but it is not to be therefore
understood that any increase of that postage is
proposed. Ii has long been regarded as sound
public policy to promote the circulation of these
publications by cheap postage, and it may be
advisable to proceed further in this policy,
pecially in promoting their circulation in the
vicinity of their places of publication, provided
no decided injustice be done to the post-masters
within that same vicinity.
The most obvious and prominent feature now
in our postage Is the double price, ten cents,
charged on all single letters carried over three
hundred miles. The reduction Of this ten cent
postage, and charging all single letters at five
cents each, would much simplify the manner of
accounting, and render the same both more ia
Gle and perfect-would remove the dssatisfac-
ton arising from the great difference in the
postage in different Offices, even in the same Vi
cinIty, but separated by this arbitrary line and
would promote and encourage the correspond
ence and intercourse, by mail, between the most
distant parts of the country, which most need
and demand it, in precise proportion their
and unirequent
In the last year there were received 9 100, 900
dead letters, all of which have been opened and
examined. Of these. 1864 contained money 10

thirtytwo engravings, among which are the In-

Flight of Time, the Fancy Ball, Excelsior,
printed in seven colors, Anglo Grecian Villa,
splendid Flower Title Page, in colors--all works
of rare merit such as are seldom seen in maya
zines. Cooley promises that this number shall
not be decoy, but simply specimen of what
his patrons may expect during the year, and as
he is one who always performs his promises, his
magazine for the coming year will form a vol
ume of a thousand pages Of literary matter from

South Carolina was formerly considered the
Bombastes Furioso of our Union, but Texas,
Judging from the early commencement made in
the science Of clustering, bids fair to outdo the
Nuiiiiers. The Governor Of the latter in his
message 10 the Legislature, says if the United
States persist in their claim to the territory of
Santa Fe and other parts Of New Mexico, it
imposes upon the Legislature the duty of adopt
ing energetic and efficient measures to protect
the rights Of Texas, 10 acquit herself Of what is
due TO her dignity and honor. lie recommends
that ample power be conferred on the Executive
Of the State, and ample means be placed at his
disposal, and that it be expressly required of him
10 raise the proper issue aud contest it, not de-
monstrating by argument the Justness of their
claim, nor by reference TO their statutes but
with the ,choie po,ce, and resources Of the State-
The result Of any legislation short of this, he
says, will be barren and proftless. How the
power and the resources Of the State are 10 be
applied is diYulged in the Houston Telegraph in
commenting upon the message. II says
3" The public lands in that section ISauta Eel
were all pledged for the payment of the national
debt of Texas, and if the General Government
should rob the State of their lands, il should be
aTfaISucd IN lHe supreme court OF the nallOn as
a thief, and like thief, it should be compelled
to pay a proper forfeit Texas will maintain
her right against every adverse claimant. If
the General Government will place itself in the
position that Mexico occupied before annexa-
ton, Texas will be forced by circumstances
beyond her control, TO resume her old position
She was then at war With Mexico and if the
General Government assumes the position of
Mexico, Ttras ioiH be at tCGr Irith her. The re-
suit Is inevitable"
Notwithstanding these bellicose demonstra-
tons the Governor thinks it might not be uR,cise
first TO despatch commission to Washington
relative TO the matter. There is wisdom in this
recommendation, particularly as there happens
to be a President at Washington who is quite as
likely to put down Usurpation in Texas as Gen.
Jackson was to put down Notification in South
Carolina.
