POSTAGE STAMPS, &c.-According TO data in
the possession Of the Office of the Sixth Auditor
of the Treasury, the public are already largely
the creditor of the Governmcnt in the matter
of postage stamps. The returns for each sue
ceeding quarter from the commencement of their
use in the United States show that the public
have been gradually purchasing them in larger
quantities than they use them, until ut this
time the Government had been paid nearly
million of dollars for postage stamps and
stamped envelopes bought by individuals Of
postmasters) which have not SO far been used by
the purchasers. All postmasters selling them
being allowed q commission on such sales it is
of course their interest to encourage the public
to purchase the stamps as freely as possible, so
that their returns of stamps sold may be as
large as possible -.-
