Ocean o Penny Postage for American Sailors

70 We GuiLoTS 81 the HdSntHgton sentinel:
SiRs:-In the article which you published in
your journal of yesterday, dwelt upon the bear
ing Of the present high rates Of postage on the hon.
est hard handed seaman, serving in the navy and
me rcantlle marine of abe United States in different
and distant seas. Tie S25 that Commodore Per
~ paid on packet of four netespdptrs, done up
in better FORM illustrates strkingly the exorbsncy
aud prstsure of these rates. The fact is being
published widely in the journals of the Union,
and will tend to open the eyes of thousands TO the
inequalities and anonilieS of the present system.
beg now TO call the attention of your readers 10
a fact connected with this subject, with which
they may not be familiar. The British govern
ment as kind of compensation to the soldiers and
eamen OF lis armies and nayies, serving in diff
feTent paris OF The globe has given them an ocean
penny postage, TO enable them to correspond as
frequently and freely with their friends and rel
atiyes at home as they please. For instance ev-
~ British soldier or seaman of The British navy,
IN India. may send letter all the way to England
for ttoO cents. though one written by a person in
civil life, costs from twenty four to fcIy eight
cents, according to the route by hich il is trans
milted- One result of This accommodation 10 these
soldiers ard sailors is the fact, that the Indian
mails, believe, the largest conveyed on any
mail rouie brtween Great Britain and other coun-
tries. It's educational effect upon the rank and
Tile OF these menis SaiulUIy; and the social en-
joyment they derive from it ineStimable. Why,
then, with our mighty mercantile navies white n
ing every sea, should we do less for our hardy
sailors than the British do for their-7 When they
are ontsailing the ships Of all other Nations and
sailing more cheepIy than theirs, why should
their officers end crews, who reflect SO much glory
on our county. be severed from their homes by
this cruel postal restriction their correspondence
Why should Commodore Perry, OF any sailor un
der his cammand be obliged to pay t,uo dollars per
ounce as letter postage on packet of anything,
though 1t did contain newspapers? Let every
sea -faring man, and his friends at home, petition
for universal rate of ocean penny postage.

DRILLING WHEAT.-Edward Stabler,
in his admirable essay on the advantage
Of drill-seeding, states that after examn.
ing its results on some 800 or 1000 acres,
besides large experience on his own land,
he finds that there is not single instance
where it has not proved the most profita-
BILE /; 6rst, in the saving OF seed, and Sc
condIy, in the increased product of the
grain per acre. He thinks five pecks Of
seed drilled are equal to two bushels sown
broadcast. He has known the increase,
in one case, by careful comparison of the
modes, TO amount to nine bushels per acre
in favor of drilling. He relates an inte-
resting incident A vender offered drill
for the increase in crop of fifty acres
of wheat to be determined by sowing a
few strips broadcast for comparison ; but
before harvest the farmer preferred paying
the hundred dolars--tbe price of the drill
with interest. On carefully ascertain-
ing The increase he found it 20 be one hum
dred and ffty.three bushels.
