office, and one rate for return trans
portation to the writer's or owners.
A treaty with Mcxieo has been con-
cludcd, awaiting the ratification by
Mexico, establishing b common inter-
national rate of twenty-five cents on
letters. with other useful provisions.
The Postmaster General has accep-
ted the offer made by Great Britain
for reductions of International rates
between the two countries on letters,
from twenty-four to twelve cents,
which, however, has not yet gone in
to operation, as it awaits the response
Of the British Office.
The Postmaster General gives at
length his reasons for the change of
contracts, for disloyalty. Not only
was it unsafe, he says, to cntrust the
transportation of the mails to per-
son who refused or failed to recognize
the sanctity of an oath, but to contin-
uc payment of public money to the
enemies of the Government and their
allies, was to give direct aid and COM
fort to treason in arms. We could
not thus permit this branch of Gov
crnment to contribute to its own
overthrow.
The Postmaster General also gives
his reason for excluding disloyal pub
lications from the mails. To await
the results of slow judicial prosecu-
tion was to allow crime to be consum-
mated, with the expectation of subse-
qucnt punishment, instead of prevent
ing its accomplishment by prompt
and direct interference. OF the cases
presented for his action, upon the prin-
ciples which he names, he has by or
der excluded twelve of these publica-
tions, of which several had been pre-
vionsly presented by the grand jury
as incendiary and hostile to constitu-
tional authority.
While tho Postmaster General did
not claim the authority to suppress
any newspaper, however dislo yal and
reasonable its contents, the Depart
ment could not be called upon to give
them circulation. alt could not and
would not interfere with the freedom
secured by law, but could and did OBJ
struct the dissemination of that IL
ccnsc which was without the Consti-
tuition and the law. The mails cstab-
Iishcd by the United States govern
mcnt could not byany right be used
for its destruction. As we'll could
the common carrier be legally rcquir-
ed to transport machine designed for
the destruction of the vehicle convey
ing it, or an inn.kecper be compelled
TO entertain a traveller whom ho know
10 DC intending to commit robbery
in his house. T'~ .-n
He finds his views supported by the
high authority of the late Chief Jus.
tice Story, of the Supreme Court of
the United States, whose opinion he
quotes.

Alb. r. HILDRETH. Editor.
Charles City, Iowa, December 26, 1861
Slavery in West Virginia.

To the surprise of everybody, the
delegates in the West Virginia Con
stitutional Convention, at Wheeling
are 10th to give up slavery in their
State, though by the census of 1860
there was not 10000 blacks in all
these counties, two-thirds of whom
have now probably slipped out behind
our army. These delegates don't
want slavery, per Sc, and yet they have
such scruples about the rights OF
property" that the danger is, lest in
protecting the dying institution, they
in effect give it new strength, and add
to the evil they would fain remove.
They haven't the courage, it would
seem, to meet the great cxigcncy, and
to provide that while the remnant OF
slavery shall be protected until it has
died out, no more slaves shall be
brought into the State. The Wheel.
ing lntelligencer therefore advises the
Convention, if it is not prepared to
put the new Commonwealth in the
status of freedom, to abandon the
work Of framing Constitution al
once, and save further expense for
that Congress will not consent to
the subdivision of a Slave State, simp-
ly that two Slave States may be made
out of it." We confess, for ourselves,
that we are disappointed at this hes.
itancy on the part of West Virginia,
and We are at a loss to account for it
Certainly the project of new State
will be defeated, unless it is to be a
Free State. That is the price of the
admission of West Virginia into the
Union.

Revision Of the School Law.

In looking over the report Of pro
cecdings of the Board of Education
we notice that Mr.. Hildreth is appoint
cd Chairman of the Committee to re-
wise the School System. This is in
deed marked compliment bestowed
by the Lieutenant Governor upon Mr.
Hildreth. The committee on Rcvi.
sion have more labor to perform than
all the other committees combined,
and the responsibilities resting upon
them are of the most important char.
acter, as upon their action depends in
a great degree the popularity and sue
cess of the educational laws of the
State. We cannot doubt, however,
that the wcll-known industry and abil.
ity of Mr.. Hildreth, and his familiari.
ty with the School Laws, will enable
him to discharge his onerous duties
creditably and acceptably.

FIGHT ON THE UPPER POTOMAC.

An attack was made by the rebels
upon our troops at dam No. 5, on the
Upper Potomac, on Saturday afternoon.
the 7th inst, by rebel force Of 400
infantry, 200 cavalry and six pieces of
artillery, on the Virginia side, who
commenced throwing shot at the dam
and houses on the Maryland shore,
burning barn and riddling all the
houses within range. They continued
the fire until dusk. The only Union
forces to oppose the rebels we're
company of the Massachusetts, Thir-
tecnth Regiment, on picket duty, and
an unarmed regiment from Illinois.
As the Massachusetts, company we're
armed with the smooth.bore muskets.
their fire was not effective at that dis
tance. .... ...... D.. ......
Early on Sunday morning the rebels
resumed the fire with artillery and
small arms, and, emboldened by the
slight resistance they met with on
Saturday, they came down to the very
brink Of the river, and exposed them
selves without fear. During the night
Col. Leonard had dispatched, by canal
boats from Williamsport, another
company of his regiment, armed with
Enfield rifles. This force was con-
cealed as skirmishers along the Mary
land shore. On the renewal Of the
attack on Sunday, the riaemen opened
fire from their concealment, and in a
short time the rebel artillerists were
compelled to abandon their battery in
hot haste, the infantry and cavalry
leaving the ground about the same
time. The rebel loss is believed to
have been fifteen or twenty killed and
wounded. For want of a sufficient in
fantry force, and a battery to protect
their movements, Col. Leonard was
compelled to let the rebel guns re-
main in position; and after nightfall
the rebels returned and took them off.
The rebel battery consisted Of three
Parrot 10-poundcrs, one l2-pounder,
carrying the Sawyer shell, and two
smooth-bore 6-pounders. Some Of the
infantry were armed with improved
long range rifles. This force came
from Bath--the cavalry and infantry
by the country roads /; but the battery
by railroad from Martinsburg. They
were probably en- route to Winchester
or Harper's Ferry. and stopped at that
point to destroy the dam, and thus i'm
pcdc canal transportation. E..

The Affair at Freestone Point.

A favored Washington reporter Of
the New York Times witnessed from
balloon the shellng out of the rebels
at Frecstone Point:
Six steamboats, belonging to the
upper fotilla were seen near the
mouth of Matawan creek. Presently
the Jacob Bell, Lieut.. McCrea COM
manding, got under weigh and went
within about thousand yards Of
of Freestone Point. She fired five
ten-second shells into the woods, and
then put about. Several wagons were
seen approaching the buildings near
the shore where the rebels had some
store. Lieut.. McCrea, OF the Jacob
Bell, communicated with Capt. Austin,
commanding the Anacosta, and both
vessels then stood of Frccstone Point,
where they commenced shelling the
woods and buildings. The Harriet
