AFFAIRS AT THE WASHINGTON ARSENAL.
The Washington Star of the 4th inst, in
speaking of the activity of the War Depart
ment says: ~ r. .
The activity noticeable in every depart
ment of the Arsenal shows that q no step is
to be taken backward by the Government
in the prosecution of the war. The en-
trance and carriage ways are blocked up
with army wagons, carts, and other vehi-
cles, heavily loaded with arms for the regi-
ments, provisions for the army, huge SHELLS
on their way to be filed, and all the requi-
sites of war. Splendid parks of riaed cam
non, from ten to thirty-two Founders, orna-
ment the lawns, huge guns lie about on the
wharf and in the shops, ready to be mount
ed, while the tattoo of hammers and buzz of
saws bear evidence of the life within the
manufactures of arm chests and other ap-
purtenances of the batteries. Rifled and
round shells, grape, canister and shrapnel,
Minnie and pistol balls, in immense quanti-
lief, roll out ready for the mission of death,
under the manipulations of many hands,
and bright guns go up daily on their wheels
and turn their dark mouths toward the blue
hills of Virginia, while constant tide OF
muskets, rifles and bayonets pours in and
out of the spacious armories.

Anairs "a western Virginia.


The Gazette's war correspondent, writing
from Clarksburg, Va, after reciting the en-
barrassments caused by the expiratioA Of
the enlistment Of the three months' men,
and the disadvantages under which Gen..
Rosecrans is laboring, says:
The necessities Of the case consist in the
fact that Gen. Lee, the d6Eest Of the rebel
conpn1dsldeTs-Beaurega only excepted
is a . Hsn1tersUiIIe, not more than forty or
fifty miles southwest of Huttonsville, -un-
doubtedly with powerful army, because
Lees character and antecedents show that
he never moves in an enterprise unless he IS
satisfied he has power enough to make ac-
compiisnment reasonably certain. 1t IS ru-
morsd that he has 40, 900 or 5000 men,
If be has halls 80 many, our readers will as
sent that his demonstration is sufficiently
formidable, and admonishes the country
that the next campaign in Western Virgin
ia will not be trihing expedition. No in
telligent military man apprehends a defeat
of our army, but it is within the range of
possibility, and il should beguarded against
by every possible precaution.
What would be the consequences of de-
feat Overthrow of the Western Virginia
Provisional Government exile of the
property, or the conversion of indiferents
into rebels; the capture and destruction of
the B. & o. and Northwestern Virginia
Railroads, which are so important to us )
| the capture of our vast army supplies,
| which are so necessary for the rebels, and
I the defeat of any enterprise the Government
may contemplate, in reference to East Ten-
nesaee. Indeed suspect the aniqus of
! Lees movement TO be for this latter object.
The rebels understand the importance OF
preventing our Government from protecting
the loyal men of East Tennessee, and are
satisfied that if we ever occupy that section
their cause will fail. Moreover, strong re-
Inducements are absolutely necessary to en-
able us to follow up decisive blow, SO that
the effects of defeat of the enemy may be
/ permanent. It win be remarked that we
enjoy al advantage in this campaign which
we had not in the July campaign. The en-
envy must assume the offensive, while we
defend against his advance. But he occu.
pies good strategetieal position. The pop
4 ular war maps do not show it satisfactorily

POST OFFICE,
Evansville, August IA. 1861. &
The Postoffice Department has issued a
new style of stamped envelopes, and sup
ply of the following kinds has been receiV-
ed here. Note size, three-cent, ruled and
unruled ; letter size, three-cent, ruled and
unruled; letter size, ten-cent, unruled
official size, six-cent, unruled.
r. am instructed to exchange these envel-
opes with the public for the old style, in
equivalent amounts, for .Si1 days from this
date. After this time expires, envelopes Of
the old issue will not be received in pay
ment of postage on letters sent from this
Office
I am required to satisfy myself that old
style envelopes taken in exchange for new
ones have not before been USED, nor brought
/ from disloyal States.
The new envelopes will be exchanged
with smaller Postofices, for old style ones,
during one month from This date.
No new stamps have been received, and
the Department has purposely allowed the
OLD stock to run low in all Postoffices.
Stamps, therefore, are scarce here. The III
dications show that the Department intends
TO encourage the use of stamped envelopes
as it is getting ont new styles for greater
convenience in correspondence. The envel-
opes issued by the Department are furnish
ed as near cost as it is possible TO MAKE
change, and the public cannot do better
than to use these envelopes. The enVel
opes mot counting the stamp), letter size
are furnished unruled at S 80 per 1000
and ruled at 81 per 900, and for less mum
bers as near in proportion as possible. r
This is cheap enough for good envelopes.
Persons are requested to use stamped en-
Eelopes; in fact, stamps cannot be furnish
ed to any considerable amount till new
supply is received from the Department.

The DIRECT TAx.-The taxpayers natu-
rally begin to inquire what proportion
each one Is to bear Of the twenty millions
direct tax about to be imposed under the
recent act of. Congress. Taking it for granted
that but little if any of it viii be gathere
from the disloyal States, we may simplify
the matter by supposing that it will operate
upon only abont twenty millions Of people.
The result, therefore, viii be one dollar for
each man, woman and child, in the States
which stand by the Union. This is a mere
trifie when compared with the ends to be
attained by the burden. II will fall prin-
cipally upon those best able to bear it, and
upon articles Of luxury 1t is true that
the indirect tax upon tea, sugar, and coffee
touches the humble as we'll as the wealthy,
but the effect will be to induce a cnrtail-
ment of other expenses in matters not es-
sentiai 70 either health or comfort. The
tax on incomes is three per cent. on all the
excess of incomes over eight hundred dol
lars per annum, and five per cent. on the
incomes of non-residents. The President
of the United States will pay seven hundred
and twenty-six dollars, and each member OF
| the Cabinet two hundred and sixteen
dollars. Clerks of the FIRST class t$l 200.
will pay twelve dollars per annum and tbs
50, 200 clerks forty-two dollars.
