DEAD LETTER OFFIcE.-The following
report has inst been received at the POST
Office Department from j. t., postmaster
at --, dated May 8, 1862. If the
title of the Dead Letter Office" were
"Return Letter Office" the poor widow
alluded to would have been saved some
trouble;
All Of us out here do not understand
as yet about these "dead letters" return
ed 10 the writer's. A few evenings since
an aged widow came to the Office inquir-
ing for a letter, quite anxious to hear
from her son in the army. On receiving
her letter she was told it was from the
dead letter office, She ran home crying,
ooh Ike is dead, Ike's dead. I've Just
got a letter from the dead letter office"

Brother Brownlow delivered an address
recently in New York on the irreligious
tendencies Of the rebellion, in which he
painted some Of the rebel clergy in vivid
colors. We quote three instances:
Mr.. Maynard, our representative in
Congress, is an Elder in the New School
Presbyterian Church, a scholar and a
gentleman. He had no sooner left in dis
guise to make his way through to take
his seat in Congress, than the Rev. Joseph
II. Martin made set speech, going
through the formalities Of taking text
preached an outrageous sermon, and
prayed an outrageous prayer, chat his
wicked and unhallOwed tracks might
never again be seen or known in Knox
VILE" The mortified wife of Mr.. Mayn-
ard, who is in this neighbOrhood, and
who is a lady and so regarded, in every
sense of the word an intelligent charita-
bic, Christian lady, shedding tears on
that occasion, rose up, and left the house
and journeyed home, and although she
was driven out but few weeks ago, with
my wife and children, she has, to her
honor and credit, never disgraced her
name by visiting his vile sanctuary any
more. Cheers, "GeOd." Feeling that
he had behaved in mean, sneaking, con-
temptible manner, he made her visit
and apologized, saying, 81 didn't want
10 do IL, but my elders made me do it,
and had to do it or lose my salary and
my place" What do you think of de-
vii like that?
Fountain e. Pitts, parson well known
in Nashville for great fancy and very lit
tie bottom, and consequently known gen.

Not willing TO Fight.

We heard yesterday of man living
not a thousand miles from this city, who,
to avoid the action of the conscript law,
deliberately laid one of his hands upon
a block and cut Off the third and fourth
fingers. When the enrolling officer comes

learn to shoot well with his remaining
fingers. -llontgomey AdUertiser.
