Postmaster General Campbell has framed
a secries of instructions for the guidance of
Postmasters, upon the introduction OF the
new system for the registration of valuable
letters. We quote the material portion of
the instructions:
SEC. 1. Letters alleged to be valuable,
posted at one Postoffice in the United States
and deliverable at another such Office, shall,
from and after the first day of July, 1855, be
registered at the office of mailing, on the APP
plication of the person posting the same, and
the payment of a registration fee of FIVE
cents.
2. Postmasters are intructed to enter all
such letters in book to be prepared and
kept for the purpose, to be called the Re-
ceipt Book, (Which in small Offices, will be
prepared by stitching together the several
sheets of blank receipts furnished by the de-
partment,) containing blank receipts, with q
wide margin for brief duplicate of each, az
in bank check books. The Postmaster will
enter in this margin the number of the re-
ceipt, the date of filling it, the name of the
person to whom the letter is addressed, and
the place to which it is to be mailed. He
will then fill up the receipt to correspond
with the marginal entry, separate it from the
margin. and deliver it to the person who de-
posted the letter.
3. Registered letters will not be entered
in the ordinary accounts of mails received
aud sent, but separate accounts of such let.
ters will be kept at each Postofice to be
called account of registered letters received
and account Of registered letters sent, blanks
for which will be furnished by the depart.

THE CUr.WoRM.-We hear great COM
plant among farmers and gardeners in this
vicinity about the ravages of the cut-worm.
Hundreds of acres of corn are being re-.
planted in consequence of the destruction
caused by this pest. The cold weather has
been the chief cause in frightening the life
of this worm and m aking it's ravage the more
destructive. The best defence against them
is to stir the ground freely under hot sun.
Divers other remaches may be successfully
applied to garden vegetation, but for the field
the plow or cutivater is the best.

ly deny. The reasons were: First, because
the company had passed a resolution not to
90 to another FIRE in Lamasco, fol. this reason:
the Lamasco City Council refused to pay a
bill of 81 l23 for damages sustained by the
engine at a previous fire in Lamasco; and
second, because our Chief Engineer. Mr..
Hewson, told US we would have to pay all
bills for repairs Of damages sustained by the
engine below Division street, Is it was out
of the city limits.
In the same category may be found libel
upon the City Council, in awarding the con-
tract to Mr.. Moseley, for erecting the Market
House extension. ts
To 90 little further back in Mr.. Halls
history, We find him having our "brave and
noble" City Clerk, running with the ma.
chine. atrailroad velocity to Lamasco fire.
phen TN fact he was running as government
mail agent on Louisville and st. Louis
packet.
If DIR. Hall would like to have Us more
"speeifc," he has only to make himself
worthy of our further notice and we will
specify to his hearts content.
1t Twill be seen from the above specifca.
tons, that Mr.. Hall has been incapable oil
telling the truth whenever he has alluded to
the Fire department. of our city, at any time,
more especially il there was an election near
at hand, or If he had some disappointed poll
teal spleen to vent against polictical adver.
saries, as in the case of the market contract.
We could 60 on and enumerate. and show
the overwhelming truth Of our charge, that
his original article did abound in falsehoods
and mistatements, but we have given enough
to suffice forour purpose.

PIT. Barnuin IN q Grim. Con. Case.
The New York Tribune, of the 18th inst,
has the following:
ATTEMPT AT ExroRTroE.-P. Il. Barnum
was yesterday called before Justice Osborn,
on the charge of taking extreme liberties
with one of his employees, a German woman,
against her will. The lady, Frau Hesser,
her husband, and Mr.. Wolf, a German law
yer, were examined. The Frau swore that
she did not tell her husband of it until three
weeks after the melancholy occurrence,
while Herr Wolf swore just as positively that
the husband told him all about it only two
days after it took place. As there were
several other contradictions Of this sort in
their testimony, and il appeared that the
whole affair was a vain effort to extort
money from Mr. Bsrnum, Justice Osborn
dismissed the complaint.
When the case was dismissed Mr.. Barnum
addressed the reporters present as follows:
have known innocent gentlemen to pay
from one to two thousand dollars in the
course Of two or three years because con-
spiracies had been made against them. Now
always said that il one was ever made
against me, would be annihilsted before I

know anything about the house. but when
he got there, he found it was house of ILL
fame, and was surrounded by ruf1ians who
threatened to expose him and ruin his char.
acter As man and Gu lyman, unless he
would pay them $500. The gentleman
told me that although he felt that the letter
was a sufficient justification of his presence
in the house. he nevertheless finally paid
$3.50. I told him he was fool and an ass
that had seen too much of the world--and

predicament; and when this man wanted to

The idea of Company travelling out of
its way to assault a newspaper, in a matter
wherein they are not at all interested or as.
sailed Is something entirely new, and we are
glad to see it meet the merited contempt of
the community generally.-( Enquirer.
There is nobody in this community so ver-
dant as to be deluded by this shallow at
tempt at deception. The Enquirer toould be
rery glad to see the action Of these fremen
meet with contempt The fire companies
have made no attack on the Enquirer nor as.
suit on any newspaper. They have simply re-
PEELED, firmly and emphatically, the base
ISLANDERS of j. B. Hall on the chief of the
Fire Department. He made the attack,
while they have but sought to do justice to
the Chief Engineer. For this they have
been called slanderers and libelers. The
community has sense enough to select fol-
themselves the object of "merited contempt
and we pledge our word to Mr.. Hall that he
not the Neptune FIRE company, is that OBJ.
