GEN. SMITH.
The report that Gen. Smith has Withdrawn from
his command on account Of having been rejected by
the Senate, is without foundation. The Military
Committee Of that body has, it is understood unanl-
mously reported in favor of his confirmation but
deintive action has not yet been taken.
THE HEALTH or SECRETARY STANTON.
Secretary Stanton il still confined to his lodgings,
but his ndispositon being the result Of men
tai and physical labor, his physicians say that few
days res is all that is needed in order TO restore him
to good health.
POSTAGE on PRINTED MATTER.
Representative Colfax presented, to-day, five petit
tons from publishers of New-Yo rk and Philadelphia,
recommending amendments to the bill simplifying
the postage on printed matter authorizing news
dealers to send show bills, relating TO newspapers
&C., at newspaper portage, continuing their right to
receive packages If popers, and pay postage thereon
separately, and allowing matter not now magble,
dangerous package, excepted, to he sent by mail at
book raes
They DO not recommend any change in the rropo-
sion to consolidate the present rates Of 81 cents and
&, cents into uniform rate of cents per quarter on
weekles. Tie effect Of this consolidation would
no, be to increase the newspaper postage in the az
gregae but to realize about the same revenue, aud
enable subscribers to pay their postage exactly,
which they cannot do at present rates.
The California delegation Senator Nesmith and
Representative Colfax of the PostOfice Committee,
were before the Committee Of Ways and Means
Yesterday, in regard To the overland mail TO Caifor
uia, which had been omitted in the appropriation
bills. The Committee decided to report an appro-
pration for it.
