We give in another column a letter from Mr.
Plnv Miles. the Secretary Of the Postal Reform
Committee. in which be shows the proportionate
amount of letters, postal revenue and PostA eA'
pepses in each State and each section OF the Union
We venture to say that some Of bis statistics VIII
be looked at with interest beyond that OF mere
idle curiosity, by many who have large postage
bills 10 nav. and who are in the habit of thinking
that we bave very inefficient postal establishment
We learn from these figures that the people Of the
State of New-York write in year 29,2o9,9l5 let
ters while all of the States south Of the Potomac
and the Ohio Rver-Missouri, Arkansas and Tex"
ircluded-write but 81, 7O9,035, or fraction more
than this State. New-York and Massachusetts
have postal correspondence in year tina: reaches
40, 622 Ola letters while every State south OF the
Potomac and the Ohio, and west of the Mississippi
have but 81, 6s9, All letters. While such is the
state of the correspondence, the relative expenses
wear quite different aspect. This is exhibited
in the following table:
States Post TX Post KEY sv,
All south and west of Miss. river... 4sS,7so 27SsM
The region lying south of the Ohio and ives. OF
the Mississippi has gross postal revenue less than
that contributed by New-York and Massachusetts,,
while the postal expenses are more than three times
as large. The three sections into which the Union
is divided show in an unmistakabe light where the
postage money is principally contributed and where
it goes to- The first or North East section extends
from Maine to Pennsylvania, inclusive; the second,
OF Middle section, from Delaware to the southern
boundary of Virginia and Tennessee, west to the
Mississippi River including Missouri and California;
the South Western section comprsesthe Gulf States,
and all west of the Mississippi River except Missouri
and California. If it is cOntended that the statls-
tics of each State are not a pretty accurate index
of the comparative receipts and expenditures
of the separate States the same cannot be said OF
either Of these sections as whole. In the North
Ea.t section-New.E bgland, New York, NewJer-
sey and PenDsy lvanie-there are written in year,
g., AS, 100 letters with postal revenue OF 49,
295, 533, with postal expenses to the amount of
50 6S2, 6Sl. In the rest of the Union-the Middle
and South. Western sections-the letters iu year
number 81, 3O5 2o9 the revenue is 50, 292 O89, and
the postal expenses S6,285, 45l. These figures
may be put into tabular form az follows:

Nor does he have much respect for the argument
that Female Free Academy will make our public
schools fashionable. Upon this point he says that
she cannot discover the necessity or the proprety
" of Offering bonus, in the shape Of free acade-
"mical course otherwise, to the wealthy, to in
duce them TO make their children the recipients of
" instruction III our public schools" But We have
no space to follow Mr. Nelson through his whole
rgumept. We give, however, his summing up.
He objects to the establishment Of the Academy for
lie following reasons:
"st That grammar schools provide for the young

Of importance to the majority of the C,m-

But we gather from tie minority report that one
project is to turn the new school house for females
in the Fifteenth Ward into an Academy. Another
plan lie to erect an elegant snd expensive building
in Madison park. There is no probability, how
ever that the building in Twelfth street, should it
be used, would be thought at all to answer the
purpose and all the failures of the Free Academy
wouh be attributed to the Inconvenience Of that
structure. So to Madison park the establishment

SOUND SLEEP.-Any man who can
bound out of bed as soon as he wakes of
a mid winters morning is worth some
thing; no fear of his not making bis
way through theworld creditably, be-
cause he has the elements of a prompt
tude, decision and energy, which guar
antee success. To invalids we make a
comfortable suggestion worth knowing.
If you have force of will enough to keep
you from taking a second nap-and it
is the second nap which makes its
baneful influence felt on multisudes-it
is better for you to lie awhile and think
about it, until that feeling of WEAKNESS
passes out of the limbs which you SO
commonly feel. But to sleep soundly
and to feel rested and refreshed when
you wake up of a morning, four things
are essential
L. Go to bed with feet thoroughly
dry and warm.
2. Take nothing for supper but some
cold bread and butter. and a single cup
of warm tea of any kind.
8. Avoid wei fatigue of body.
A. For the hour preceding bedtime,
dismiss every engrossing subject from
the mind, and let it be employed about
something soothing and e%nliveniDg in
cheerful thaDkfulness.-N. Y. Jvrnal

the judge somewhat impatiently.
