POST OFFICE INFORMATION.

The last Semi O aicial organ Of the
General Post Office Department.
known AZ Holbrooks Monthly Mail
Bag" contains the following Post
Office information for the people:
A printed business card or the names
of the sender placed upon the outside
of circular, subjects it to letter post
age.
Letters can be registered on the pay:
'ncnt of the registry fee Of five cents
for each letter.. but if lost, Congress
has made no provisions for restitution,
if the letter contains valuables.
A letter bearing 4 stamp, cut or
separated from a stamped envelope,
cannot be sent through the mail as Il
pre- paid letter. Stamps cut or separa:
ted from stamped envelopes loose their
legal value.
The address of letters intended for
delivery in cities, especially, should
include if possible, the occupation,
street and number Of the party ad:
dressed.
A singular notion seems long to have
prevailed that it is no violation of law
to send an unsealed letter outside Of
the mail. This makes no differences
whatever. Even if tho paper written
Upon is not folded, it is a letter.
II the writer. of = letter wishes his
letter to reach it's destination without
being subject to the rules Of distribution

From tho Cleveland Plaindoaler:
RESULTS OF THE REVOLUTION
FIVE NEW REPUBElCS.

Since the right of secession is claimed
by the South and conceded BY the
dominant party in the North, it is pro.
per to look at results. If South Calo-
lima can sccede for any pretended
cause, herself of course sole judge III
the case, then Maine can seccde. So
can Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota or,
Oregon. If one State can scccde SO 4
can another, and as logical sequence
leach State can coalesce with other
States and form Republics of one, two
or twenty out OF the original fragments
of this Union. s1a
Now, if this is to be the prevailing
doctrine, we would propose the fol-
lowing list Of confederacics: 92
REPUBLIC NO. l.
A Southern Republic with all the
slave states, save Delaware and Mis-
souri, the latter in fact and feeling be-
ing q Western State, and will soon be
free as Ohio, with New Mexico and

public would be cotton, tobacco; sugar
and niggers.
REPUBLIC no. 2. q 3: .n#s
The Western Republic including tito
seteh Northwestern States, Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska; =
The productions of this Republic
would be wheat, corn, beef, pork, POI:
tatoes and popular sovereignty:

The Central Republic, including
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Delaware. The latter named
State has elected Lincolnite to Con.
gress, and has not niggers enough TO-
day to run respectable hotel:
The productions of the Central Re
public woald be a great variety Of
cereals, panic makers and politicians
RErUBL1c 10. 4. 43i
The Puritan Republic, including the
six New England, States.

REPUBLIC NO. S. .......- -,
The Pacific Republic, including Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington Ter
ritory, with the eventual addition Of
Sonora and Utah. --as
Staples.-Gold, Grizzly Bears and
Babies. -... g.. -.r-.-
Here arc Republics enough to suit
seceders, and when any Of the State.
are dissatisfied with their new Union.
all they will have to do will be to raise
the flag of disunion and march to
more congenial section a Ia Mtricnna.
