EXCITING REPORTS ABOUT SPIES,
Among the reports which prevailed yes
tertiay was that two of our men, who went
on the Beaufort expedition, were arrested in
Charleston, aud summArily hung as spies.
Another report was that the rebels had
hung Ned McGowan, at New Orleans as a
spy. Neither is believed TO be true,
though they are not improbable.
-i THE CRY IS STILL THEY CONS.
Governor Curtin has reported eight more
regiments ready for service aud who await
marching orders. Perhaps Penrsylyania
would like to take the contract for filling
up the two hundred thousand that may be
needed as reserve force. II would hard
Iy be fair, though, for New York and some
Of the smaller States oughtto have some
chance to show the extent of their patriot
ism.

The statistics OF the Post-oflce Depart
ment show that there is some gain to the
Federal Treasury, as well as loss, from SCI
cessiou. The returns indicate that for the
YEAR Guiding June 81, 1861, the income of
the Post-office Department will come near
er by two and a half millions Of dollars to
paying its expenses than for number OF
years past. The reason is the exclu-
