RespeetfaIIy, Yours,
Third Assistant Postmaster Geaerl

Third Assistant Postmaster General.
It's apparent from the above that pos
tsge stamps cannot be any longer used as
currency, aud that present holders of
stamps which have been used and are con-
sequently sOiled by handling are likely to
suffer loss oftheir value. AT first glance,
the instructions to Postmasters, in this
circular, not to recognize stamps, affixed
to letters, which have been soiied in circu-
lation as currency, may seem unjust, and
in the nature of discreditable reputation.
But it must be remembered that the Gov
ernment has never sanctioned the employ
ment of its postage stamps for currency
purposes, but on several OCCASIONS has
expressed its disapproval of the practice !;
and that this unauthorized use of them by
the public has opened the way to an extern
sive fraud, by rendering stamps that have
been cancelled undistinguishable in thous-
auds of instances from such as have been
merely soiled and defaced by handling. This
fraud has been very largely practtced, aud
great quantities of cancelled stamps de-
tached from old letters, are now in circula-
ton, passing from hand to hand, unrecog-
pizable. The Government not being respon-
sible for the practice which has rendered
its Post Office Department liable to heavy
frauds in this manner, certainly has the
right TO protect itself as proposed, and is
guilty of no population in the act
Ia connection with the above circular,
the Postmaster of Wheeling has received
the following letter from the Department.
Its interests are of such nature that every
one should understand them, in order that
the offence nsmed-which calls upon iself
such heavy penalties, may not be commit
ted iguorntly.

is to consult rebel feeling in the prosecu-
ton of this war, who deEoulce every meas

ces or chiyaIric seusibilities of the high
spirited Southron, aud who are in con :.

hystericAI over the proceedings of the Con-
federate Congress, in regard to the procla-
nation of emancipation. ct is to terrify,
just these people that the Henrys, Semme-

exhibit their rawlings, and breathe their
threateniugs of slaughter. They used to

Tho rebels, erazed as they are, will think
more than twice before they actually hoist
the banner of death aud proclaim war with

saere. Under such a merciless, internal
system of warfare, they are sure to be ex-
Terminated, and they know it. The more
than double numbers against them, with
the millions of black savages in their midst
tell against hope. They calculate these
chances as well aswe, aud unless it is the
stern will of Providence that they shall be
mSddsned TO universal suicide they will not
iuaugurate this war of determination. If
that be in the design of Providence let them
invoke death.

The Press Once Moro.

The PreSs in an Article of three columns
yesterday morning processes to reply to our
structures of Monday. The argument is
spread very thin, bat the, display of the
dead languages is no doubt expected to
make very profound impression on nu-
merous class of the Press' readers, viz:-
those who wont understand it. We have
read it considerably aud can't see for the
life of US wherein it answers fairly single
point We made against it. 1t does not Of
fer solitary argument or fact going to
show that it is not the disIoyal sheet we say
it is. The whole tone and scope Of the ar
ticls goes to confirm it. We are not goiog
TO follow the devious windings of the arti.
Gle. It would be an Improbable waste of
time aud space. If the editor has nothing
better TO offer 10 the establishment of his
fidelity than the array of quarter section
of the dead languages, We are willing to
excuse him from attempting any respecta-
BILE argument.
Not a day passes without fresh exam-
pie. of tue characteristics OF this sheet. The
paragraph about Gen. Kelley, alluded to in
another place is sample oft.
The peculiar meanness ofthis paragraph
consists in this, that the only line We ever
saw in print that could by any possibility
impugn Gen. Kelley's loyalty was COM
munication published in the Wheeling
Press last Friday.
The mean spirited editor does not desire
to compliment Gen. Kelley in this notice.
He endeavor4 to use Gen. Kelley to turn
away the indignant attention of all Western
Virginia people from himself.
Gen. Kelly utterly despises the principles
of the mean spirited editor aud the editor
knows it. The last place that Gen Kelley
would choose to see himself complimented
is IN the Wheeling Press.
Gen. Kelley was warm Republican in
the Presidential campaign. Like all other
true men he has dropped party now. He
knows only his country. Hence he des-
pises such mean spirits US the Butteruut of
the Wheeling Press.
The MilrOy "nigger' paragraph Was
another example. Why didn't it tell us
what motive it had in manufacturing it, if
it is not an enemy at heart to the Govern
ment and its armies2 Why not tell us the
motive in quoting whole columns of de.
fAmation day after day of the Government,
and its purposesf Is 1t to make people
more firm and united in its supportl Ger
tRinly not.
