PREPAYMENT OF PoTsAGE TO BE MADE BY
STAMPS ONLY-It will be recollected that by the
act of March s. 1855, requiring the postage on all
letters not free sent by mail within the United
States, and not from or to foreign country, to
be prepaid it was also enacted that from and after
January l, 1856, "the Postmaster General may
require postmasters to place postage stamps on all
prepaid letters upon which such stamps may not
have been placed by the writer" In view Of this
fact the Union says:
We learn that the Postmaster General has de-
cided to require postmasters to comply with, and
carry into effect this provision of the law and if
not already done, to supply themselves with post
age stamps accordingly by sending their order for
them to the Third Assistant Postmaster General.
Of course it is not intended expected that this
regulation shall throw upon postmasters the labor
of affixing postage stamps to letters where the
writer's might, without inconvenience, have done it
for themselves. The main thing is for postmasters
to keep themselves supplied with stamps, that all
persons having occasion to use may readily obtain
them.

PrcAYuNE AND BEE-We are pleased to note
the prosperity Of these excellent journals, as
lately evidenced in their coming out in neat garh
Of beautiful new types In point Of mechanical
execution they are equalled by few, and excelled
by no papers published in the United States. This
is saying much, but nothing more than the fact
justices The editorial department Of these journals
speaks for itself; and nothing that we might could
would, or should say, would cause them to rank
higher in the good estimation Of their readers in
this vicinity.

AMERIcANIsM IN TENNEssEE.-An intelligent
subscriber, writing to the New York Mirror
from Tennessee,-thus speaks of the prospects
of Americansm in that gallant State:
PULASKI, Tenn, Oct. 80, 1855.
Fl. FULLER, Eso.-Dear Sir: x = y \
Americanism, notwithstanding its late partial
defeat, is fourishing here. The heart of the
people is sound on the subject. In the last
campaign, canvassed large portion of the
State, and | can say, from candid observa-
ton that three weeks before the election the
State was ours by $1,000 votes But Sag NIGHT
slanderers and liars fastened the charge Of
ssProhibition in disguise" on US, just at the
eve of the election, and before we could wipe
the false impression from the minds Of the
people, they had left our councils in crowds
Their eyes are now open to their error, and
they are bitterly abusing the party with which
they acted at the last election.
If it would be any interest to you to hear &C.
casionally of the progress of politics in Ten
nessee, let me know, and shall keep you faith
fully posted. If there be anything in the signs
of the times, and s'Fillmore and Foote," or
20 Fillmore and Houston" be our nominees,
Fillmore is the unanimous choice of the Amer
lean party of Tennessee,) we will sweep the
State, in the next Presidential campaign, like
an avalanche. Stick pin there, for speak a
fact.

BEAUTIFUL OLD AaE.-In Mrs. Sigourney's
new book, "Past Meridian" the following
charming pictures of virtuous old age occurs.
God grant that such pictures may not be few
and far between:
ssThat venerable old man vigorous, his tenn
pies slightly silvered, when more than four
score years had visited them, how freely flowed
forth the melody of his leading voice amid the
sacred strains Of public worship! His favorite
tunes Of Near and Old Hundred, welded to
these simply sublime words:
awhile shepherds watched their docks by night
and
"Praise God from whom all blessings fow,"
seem even now to fall sweetly, as they did upon
my childish ear. These, and similar ancient
harmonies, mingled with the devout prayers
that morning and evening hallowed his home
and its comforts; she, the loved partner Of his
days, being often sole auditor. Thus, in one
censor rose the praise which every day seemed
to deepen. Gods goodness palled not on their
spirits because it had been long continued.
They rejoiced that it was new every morning,
and fresh every evening""

The AMERICAN PARTY.-The American party
in the South, says the Washington City Ameri-
can Organ, is emphatically national party.
Hence it has drawn down upon it the vindictive
and unrelenting hostility of the disunonists.
They hateit for it's patriotism. They war against
it to the knife, for its triumph would be fatal to
their unholy Vaccinations But the American
party of the South will flourish in spite of their
malignity 1t has possession already of nearly
every city and large town, and of twenty-five
Congressional districts in the Southern States.
Even Charleston, long the headquarters Of the
secessionists, has surrendered to the National
Americans and their flag floats in triumph over
Mobile and New Orleans, as well as over Louis
vile and Washington.
These important victories have been gained by
party which only took the field in the South
last spring. and which has been compelled to
contend with the whole power of the Federal
Government, as well as the prejudices Of thou
sands who are unwilling to leave their old party
associates. Can it be doubted then that a pros
porous future is before it? Although, for the
present, in minority in the South, is it not
destined at the very next contest to be trium-
phant? Revolutions never 60 backward. y
The reaction against American principles which
was confidently predicted by the Abolitionists
of the North and the Disunionists of the South,
has not occurred. On the contrary, the Ameri-
can party is perfecting its organization, and
strengthening its defenses. Undismayed by tenn
porary defeats, it is wise enough to derive ben
eft from adversity-to correct the errors it may
have committed, and to press on with renewed
energy to the great contest in which the people
of the United States are about to be engaged.

Attached to this establishment is an apparatus
for making gas, and it works admirably. The
material used is rosin, and the "rosin oil" OBJ
tanned in the process Of distlation is said to be
worth as much as the rosn from which it is made.
The whole sugar house is brilliantly illuminated by
this gas from one extent to the other; and if we
may Judge from the lights we saw burning in the
day time, it is as pure and beautiful as any used
in large cities. .s
The expense Of such an apparatus for making
sugar as the one on Raceland is enormous. 1t
would be within bounds to say that if all the pipes
about the concern were Strengthened out and put
in line they would reach half way to Thibodaux.
But as Messrs K. l. E. were very fortunate in
purchasing some second hand machinery at very
low figure, and making an original and economical
combination with the new, they estimate that the
whole expense win not exceed $4,000.
All hands appeared satisfied with their visit, with
the apparatus, and with themselves. Even our
sugar planting friend the Major, who continued to
view every part with the eye Of a skeptic as well
as critic, seemed to be convinced of the sound.
