From Washington.

WAsHINGToN, July Capt. Van Visit, Assist
ant Quarter Master, has submitted to the War De-
Partment reply to the charges recently preferred
against him, for alleged misconduct in connection
with the purchase of mules for the army; and the
Secretary of War, after mature consideration of
the same, has decided that the explanations and
testimony furnished render any further notice of
the charges uncaed for and unnecessary.
The Postmaster General has ordered of g. F.
Nesbit, of New York, the contractor one million of
stamped envelopes with the new sel-sealing i'm
provement. They will be furnished to the public
at cts. per hundred more than is charged for the
present pattern.
The statement contained in letter from Camp
Floyd, and extensively published, charging the Scr
cretary of War with being personally Interested in
contracts with Mr.. Holiday and others in supply
ing Hour to the United States troops in Utah is
wholly destitute of truth. The arrangement for
this service made in the regular course of bust
ness after advisement with the proper officer, and
by which, contrasted with the former mode at least
one hundred thousand dollars are saved to the
Government.

was consistent member of the Friends Society,"
At the delightful village of Glen Cove, Long
Island, where he resided, the Episcopal congrega-
ton had just erected in their church very sweet
toned organ, which was the admiration, not only
of the members, but of many others who were at

Mr.. Mallaby, the rector. On some particular oc-
casion, our vener able friend, Tommy Coles, took
seat among the congregation, and his opinion of
the organ was gathered from the following CONVEX

'Friend Mallaby, am pleased that thee has got
such fine organ in thy church."
