Evansville Ind, Sept. "a.
A Periodical Stand has been opened in
the Post Office Lobby, by Messrs. McFerson
Brothers, at which, hereafter-besides peri
odicals, cigars, tobacco, stationery, and the
latest papers from all parts of the country,
with and without wrappers-the. proprie-
tors will sell postage stamps and stamped
envelopes for the greater convenience of the
public and this Office. Persons wishing
stamps and stamped envelopes viii there
fore apply at the Periodical Stand in the
P. o. Lobby.
The Post Office hours, viz, from "a. N. to
y P. M.-are believed to give plenty Of
time for the public convenience. There
fore, for the purpose of having the time
necessary for correctly dispatching the Rail-
road mail, the delivery will be closed,
while this mail is being made mp, FROM a
haIfhour to an hour, according to the size
of the mail and the time necessary to prop
erly make it up. The delivery will also be
closed as usual for an hour after the arrival
of the Railroad mail, for the purpose of
opening the same. Our aim is to giYe the
public as much time to do business with the
office as possible consistent with the correct
handling of the mails.
Notwithstanding the ample notice given
through the papers and the fact that we
have had the new stamps and stamped en-
velopes for exchange or sale for over a
month, persons are still dropping letters for
mailing and delivery here, and newspapers,
into this Office, with the old style of stamps
on. This is to notify all concerned that all
such letters for mailing have been sent to
the Dead Letter Office and viii continue to
be. Every week from twenty to thirty
such go there attempted to be prepaid with
old style stamps. Persons mailing letters
! cannot be too careful to put on new stamps,
as the old ones have lost their value and
will not prepay postage from this place
On this point our orders are imperative.

In obedience to an order from Col. Bland
received on the 18th day of September, and
subsequently one from yourselfef the same
tenor, received on the 10th, proceeded
from Ironton at 10 o'clock on the 10th,
with my command of four companies of
Indiana cavalry fCapts,, .BroWe, dighman,
Clendening and Bsrter) for the purpose of
meeting and defeating our enemies in gen
eral, but especially notorious rebel captain
by the name of Bebjamin Talbot, who, by
his acts of violence and disregard of all
moral and civil laws, has created reign of
terror throughout all southeastern Missouri.
aOur first day. march was characterized by
nothing worthy of your notice. We tray
eled until II o'clock at night, and encamp-
ed at point % miles south of this place.
Early on the morning of the Nth, we
moved still southwark to Big Black river,
some Is miles. Here we learned that we
were in the vicinity of Talbot's camp, and
after ascertaining the locality from prison.
er whom we had taken, we fastened on our
way. Ii was my first intention to divide
my command, SO as to attack his camp
both in front and rear, but a nearer ap-
proacb rendered this impossible, as the
camp was situated in "a valley, much above
the ground on-which we had been march
ing, and which was accessible only by
bride path, which wound around the foot
of the hill. -v r-T Egslse l-T-+F
Thus compelled our whole command to
enter the valley at one inlet, leaving the
other unguarded, and compelled me to make
the attack on one side only. As soon as
my troops had all reached the valley, gave
the command to charge, which my men did
with great. alacrity, driving back the
pickets of Talbots camp, who gave way
without firing. I pushed my command for
ward iatO, the very center, of the camp,
much to the CONSERVATION and surprise of
the rebels, who, after short space of time,
attempted to rally when gave the CON-
mand to fire, after which, there was one con-
tinuous firing for five or ten minutes, when
the rebels gave way and retreated preciPi-

which stood in their rear, and where We
lost them, owing to their superior knowl-
edge of the country. The killed and
