arrived at had the ballot box been passed to

POSTAGE CURRESCY.-We learn that some
persons are so short-sighted as to sell what
postage currency they get 10 b okers, and 9TH
ers at premium. Now the moment the brok-
ers can run this currency up above par. hold
ers, instead of paying it out, will keep it in
their pockets. and defeat the objects of the
government in issuing it. We look upon the
selling OF postage currency now at a premium,
as treason ON a small scale, or in its incipient
stages, treason, we mean to the best good and
convenience of our mercantile community.
HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE.-Carleton.
the correspondent of the Boston Journal. saws
that the Governor ofone OF the we stern States is
preparing IA roll of honor of all the names of

lfCarleton will send to Augusta, Maine, he
will get copy OF Adiutant General Hods-
don's report made last January. in which he
gives this 'roll of honor" Maine is the only
State thus far, that has published in book
form the muster rolls of all her troops sent to
the war.

east" merchants was in Boston few davs
since, where he had gone to purchase goods
but he became so disgusted with the "conser-
vatism' of the firms with which he had been
accustomed to do business, and their zeal IN
defeat Andrew, that he folded up his memo
randum, told them he wouldn't purchase an
other dollars worth in that city until it en-
braced the republican faith, and came to Port
land where he made his purchases for which
he paid cash, and which he took home. and
upon which we hope he may realize a good
profit.
