BATON ROUGE, LA, SUNDAY MORNING. JULY ~ 1863

GovERNMENT ENvRLoPEs-We are
very glad to learn that there is a prob
ability Of getting the envelopes, bar
gained for some year ago. II they
are to be paid for according to the
length Of time it has required to make
them they will not yield much profit
to the Government at $s 20 per hum
dred. Mr.. Nesbit is the contractor
q New York man. The paper on
which the envelopes are to be made
is to be water marked with P. @. D.
U. s., which is to signify Post Office
Department Of the United states.-
The envelopes are to be made by q
machine that cuts cut 500 at a time,
they are then stamped with a bas-
relief of Washington, after which they
are folded, and rated with postage
\
Any forgery Of these envelopes is to
be punishable with fine not to ex-
ceed $500 or Imprisonment for five
years. The appearance of the new
envelopes will be hailed with pleasure
in this latitude. The miserable little
stamp now vended, would be a good
speculation to Uncle Sam ifthey were
not used two or three times before be-
ing destroyed. The profit derived to
the government by their sticking to-
gether in such manner as to cost
more trouble to sever them than they
are worth, counterbalanees the account.
