POSTAGE STAMPS FOR NEwsPAPERs.-You are
aware, Mr.. Item, that the postage on transient
newspapers is required by law TO be prepaid The
obvious intention OF the law is, to prevent the diff
fusion OF knowledge, and doubtless il ia good policy
In our lawmakers not to let the people know what
they are about, or many Of them might have to la
ment, with Ohello, that their occupation had gone
Ii is therefore, useless for the soveregns TO attempt
TO have the law repealed for their in Con
gress, not having the eyes of their masters upon
them, do pretty much as they please and often
cut such fantastic tricks in this good METROPOLIS
as would make their constituents weep could they
behold them. Despairing of repeal of the law,
what can be done TO make it little onerous as
possible IN its operation Every complains of
the inconvenience of being obliged 10 run up to the
post ONCE 10 pay a cent or cent and a half every
time he wishes to send newspaper TO a distant
friend or relative.-I- any thing could make a dis
unionist of me, II would be this enormous griev-
ance; and am not quite sure that Mr.. Rhett may
not seize upon it to aid him in kndlng up the fiery
spirit OF rebellion which he is striving TO fan into
blaze, so as TO spread not only throughout his own
State, but over the whole southern and southwest
crn country Newspaper postage stamps would
IN a great measure, remedy the grievance COM
planned OF, and add vastly TO the revenue of the
Post Ofhce Department, and increase the diffusion
OF knowledge through the agency of newspapers.
Now, MIR. Item, rs cannot write for newspapers
and as you have such a happy talent for dressing
up articles OF interest to the public, hope you will
thlnk little upon the subject matter OF this note,
and If you agree with me upon the enormity Of the
evil, Ibeg of you to write one of your strongest and
most spicy paragraphs, bringing it the attention
OF the Postmaster General, and urging upon him
the proper remedy. ] assure you ''oW suferinss

Your obedient servant AOZ
Our friend A. o. Il. writes well enough to argue
his cause before any tribunal, and we therefore
give place TO HE communication We do not agree
with him in what is said in his preliminary re-
marks, neither as to the motives Prompting to the
prepayment regulation, nor the influence of that
regulation. On the contrary. would have all
postage charges at the lowest possible rates, and
universal pre- payment.
What he says respecting newspaper stamp. is
good, and We sincerely hope his advice will be
speedily adopted. The inconvenience TO which the
public are subjected is very great, and often pre-
vents the transmission Of papers. The necessity Of
being at the post office at proper hour present
paper, aud the trouble and delay required IN ge,
ting 10 the delivery box, arc more than we should

upon Fashion, said to be written by Mr.. J. G. Ham
ilton, OF this city, excited great merriment, anc
fell like a bomb-shc amongst the bellies and their
beaux who indulge in noustache," many Of
whom you could stroking their ''imperial'' APP
pendages, and wishing for the moment that they
could lay hold Of them by the roots. Another dia-
logue, "Three Cheers for the Audience " was hi gh-
ly entertaining. MIR WILLIS portraiture of Cardi-
nal Ximenes was exact, beautiful; and delivered
with much spirit Mr.. Rice's description of the in
fuences of poetry was touching, and his earnest
appeal to urge its cultivation as a refner of the
heart, and of the taste, striking and eloquent
MIR. Hamton's California was a capital buresque,
and showed that he had vivid conception of that
species OF compositon-a talent rarely found, and
possibly the most effective weapon of the forensic
speaker.
Mr.. George c. Morgan, of Maryland, delivered
the annual address before the Philodemic Society
His subject was decision of Character" This ad-
dress will be published; we will therefore, only re.
mark, that it was classical, eloquent. able, and
comprehensive, and fully sustained what the audi
ence expected from his reputation-a rare treat of
thought and mind.
The valedctory Of Mr.. Semmes was short but
feeling because he truly felt the force of what he
said. Alter the speeches, the Archbishop of Bal
timore delivered the honors to those who had OBJ
tanned them. Degrees were conferred on the young
gentlemen who offered themselves as graduates;
and thus ended one of the most delightful and in
structive days we have spent.

Row IN GEoRGETowN.--Ye Yesterday, at noon, a
furious fight occurred at the omnibus stand on
Bridge street, between driver of the Union and a
driver of MAYORS line. We do not know what the
merits OF the case were but its results were very
disastrous, especially to the Naylor side. We APP
preciate the advantages of the opposition, as they
are enjoyed by the public; but this is more than
the public desire. We regret the occurrence, and
regard 1t ms certain that the propretors Of the
lines respectively will take such steps as will pre-
vent the repetition of such scene. The streets
are wide enough for both lines; and belligerent
drivers are not needed. The public require pru-
dent polite skilfu and peaceable men on the boxes;
