Thc Mass AbOut Postage stamps
for Currency.

Accordingto to special dispatch from Wash
ington to the Cincinnati Gd.tiic, there is quite
a claShing between Secretary CHASE and
Postmaster. General BLAIR about tho issue OF
the new postage stamp currency, and one
great trouble is that neither knows exactly
what to do about the matter, The dispatch
says:
"Blair quietly sold stamps, till nearly II
million dollars had been taken iu-twO hun
dred thousand in Now York alone-aud then
as quickly announces that these will not bO
redeemed at tho postollices, and If pasted on
paper or dolaccd, us they are sUro to bo by
handling, they won't even be taken in pay.
mcnt Of postage-a good thing for the Post
Office Department, but hardly SO agreeable to
people Who have been buying stamps. The
Treasury Department seems undecided aboGt
what to do. The matter is turning out big
ger thing than was expected, aud the practical
difficulties seems almost insmmountable.-
There is great danger Of counlericitng, and
there seems no way to prevent il, or to dis
tiuguish countcriois from genuine. The plan
of printing on thick paper, without gum, wa'
decided upon, but nothing seems yet done t,
carry II out.

Faxes.

The Auditor Of State has sent circular to
the County Auditors instructing them to
strike from their Duplicates the | mills lovied
by the Legislature last winter as the States
proportion OF the Direct Tax. In this county
the change will involve the necessity of max
Ing an entire new set Of Books, as the County
Auditor had completed his calculations of the
taxes previous to receiving the circular
The Cleveland HeraM stated few days since
that the change would make the taxos lower
this year than last year. This is a mistake.
for the taxes will still be considerably higher
than last year. The change is evidently q
violation Of law, and is trick of the com.
bncd ingenuity OF the Black Republican
officials to allow the Federal tax collectors
to collect the tax next spring, and to save
their party from defeat this fall.

Paper Money.

Paper money has obeyed an immutablo
law. and not being redeemabe in coin.
has deprecated. This is the key to the
whole mystery about tho scarcity of sill
yer change. Gold and silver have not
gone up but paper money has gone
down, although, as the latter is now the
nominal standard of value, we quote the
former al ia premium, instead Of the lat,
ter at a discount. The experiment of
over issues of papOr money, making it a
loyal tender, is working out tho same re-
suits here and now as in other countries
and in former times.

a gentleman direct from Nashville in
forms us that companies Il and G., of the
I'd kentucky regiment were captured on
the road between Nashville and Mulfrcos
boro, Monday night. The regiment left
Nashville Monday morning at o'clock,
and procee led toward Murlrcesboro,
dropping the companies that were taken,
to guard the road. Foicsts cavalry sur.
rounlcd the boys and they surrondcred.-
Two men were killed and one was woun-
lcd in company G. The men arrived at
Nashville Wednesday evening, having
been parolcl. The officers were returned
by the enemy as prisoners. We think
it high time that some OF the squads OF
our troops who are surrounded and COB
blcd up by the guerriIas, should do some
little fighting before they surrender. The
country East and South east of NashaiIlc
swarms with gucrrilas. The road between
Murhesboro, and Nashville is destroyed.
Regiments continue to arrive at Nashville
from the South, and among the exciting
stories of that rumor distracted town is
one that Gen. llardce is behind the guer-

McCieIsan's RODUlarity.

a friend Of ours travelling up the North
River, in company with several wounded
soldiers of the army of the Potomac,
says that they were very cheerful, and ox-
pressed the hope that their wounds would
soon be healed sufficiently to allow of
their return to their regiments. They
were in fact full of enthusiasm in the
cause oltheir country. Their attachment
to Gen. Mcclellan amounted almost to
idolatry. Numbers of them took the
cars at Albany for their homes. Short
ly after leaving Albany, talkative pas
sengcr was rejecting strongly upon What
he thought the tardincss Of General Me.
CIcIlan, The soldiers sprang to theil
feet and declared that no man should
speak dlsrespcctnlly of General McClel-
Ian III their preseuce, and there was O
flourish OF sticks and crutches that was
to speak mildly, very expressive. One
soldier who hal lost his leg looked at the
passenger and remarked that "hc had oh.
served, in all his journey through life
that those who knew least very often hat
the most to say."--N. T. Commcrcidi.
