The increase Of the Postage is question which
has already engaged the serious attention of Con-
gress and ihe:diseussOn of which, has ELECTED some
very valuable statistics from the Pest Office Depart
ment It appears from those statistics that the cost
of transportation exceeds the amount received for
postage by about three millions of dollars The
price of prepaid stamp, does net really pay the
cost Of carrying a letter to its destination. The
person who writes or the person who receives the
letter does not psy the full Of its Transmission
and delivery but leaves the deficit 10 be made up by
the government. Now if evsry man in the United
States write and received equal number OF let
tiers, or rather if the correspondence of each man
could be made TO bear exact proportion to the
amount Of tax which be pays the general govern
ment, the present system would be equitable and
equal in its operation But this is notthe sase The
agricultural communities of the South pay the
largest amount of revenue into the Treasury, while
they receive the lsas. advantage from the mail fac-
tiles of the country. So that the farmers and mes
chanics actually compelled to pay, say three or
four cents for every letter received by the Northern
merchant, manufacturer or trader.
Let US examine the operation of the present sys>
TEN more narrowly. The aggregate am9unt re-
cei7ed annually for postage all the inland routes
in the United States, is three millions of dollars
The cost of Transporting this matter on which this
amount of postage is collected is seven millions of
dollars So that the of carrying each letter or
paper is more than double the amount paid for il
by the person who sends or receives it, The cOnse-
quence is that il is found necessary to take four
millions of dollars cut of the Treasury every year
to supply the deficit in the Post Office Department.
This makes an increase of du les necessary and an
increase Of duties imposes additional taxation upon
the lsboring and producing classes of citizens,
by enhancing the cost of articles which they are
compelled to purchase. Thus a merchant in Cinoin-
natl or Philadelphia pays TO the government little
less than half the cost of each letter which he re
ceives The farmer and mechanic Of Tennessee
aud Kentucky pays the other half or little
than half of the merchants correspondence. They
might as well be ealleI to pay half of his clerks
hire or house rent. It would be as just TO tax the
people to transport the merchants goods, his
letters. It would be equitable to require the la
boring and producing classes to clOlhe the editors
or lawyers family, to require them TO pay for
his correspondence
The whole system is unjust and none the less SO
that the increased taxes it imposes on the people
are collected in the form Of duties and concealed in
the enhanced prices OF the articles which they pHr
chase

News from the Paraguay Expedition.


The New York papers of Friday last contain full
details of the from Paraguay, received by the
Illinois, which quite interesting.
Advices through sources uniriendly to the Amer
leans, state that Lopez actively making prepar-
atons for war in expectation Of the failure of the
negotiations with Mr.. Bowlin.
= person, whose name is not given, who left
Asuncion, Nov. 8Oth, reports that he saw eight or
ten thousand troops in the highest state of dsei-
pine, and commanded by French and English off,
GERS and he declares also, that the fort Of Humat>
la was perfectly mounted with fine artillery, aud
that the garrison composed of the flower Of the
army.
President Lopez was very bold in expressing his
determination not to yield to the demands of The
United States. He continually declared that he
would not pay penny.
Private letters state that the naval expedition Of
the United States against Paraguay would be sta
toned in the Roads of BuenOs Ayres aud that the
Plenipotentisry would first proceed in a single yes
sci to AsunoiOn TO try the effect Of diplomacy upon
President Lopez
The rumor of an alliance between Buenos Ayres
and the United States against Paraguay, gained
ground every day. The idea OF such an alliance
was strongly reprobsted by the press of Monte
Video and Brazil, which threatened a counter
league.
