ALLEGED MAIL DEPRECIATION.

From the Philadelphia papers of the latter
| part of the past week, We learn the following
facts concerning an alleged mail depreciation
case, which was up for hearing, on the I'd and
| Sd inst, before u. S. Commissioner Heazlett
On the 1st Of April, Mr.. Rufus Brown mailed
letter at Blodget Mills, Cortland County, N.
Y, to DR.. Lukens, Box No. 1910, Philadel-
pha, Pa. The letter contained a draft on the
American Exchange Bank, New York City,
for 1924 ,62, payable to the order of DIR. Lu-
kens. The draft was paid within four or FIVE
days of the date of its mailing, having on it
the following endorsements ssPay to the or
der of G. A. Thomas-I. Lukens, 9l1 Market
st. G. A. Thomas VIM. l.. Gilbert John
Hoope.' The draft was cashed by MIR. Hope.
who is a broker at 271 Broadway, N. Y, Gill
bert endorsing it with Thomas, with whom he
was acquainted, for the purpose of identifca-
tion. Mr.. Brown not hearing from DR.. Luz
kens, wrote to the latter, and was informed
that neither the letter draft had come to
hand. The case was, sometime afterwards,
submitted to S. B. Row, Special Agent of the
P. o. Department, who traced Thomas to In
dianapolis, from there to Western Virginia,
and finally to the 18th (Col. Links) Regiment
Indiana State Volunteers, above Sharpsburg,
Mary land, from whence he was brought to
Philadelphia under an order from the w ar
Department. Prior to the hearing, Thomas
made statement, under cath, to the effect
that he had procured the draft from Charles
Burnbaum, who was formerly janitor of Penn
Medical University. At the hearing on Thurs
day and Friday, the facts as to the mailing,
the non-receipt of the letter and draft by DR..
Lukens, the payment of the money to Thomas,
and the procuring of the draft from Burnbaum,
were all testified to by different witnesses. 1t
was further testified that, it had been the duty
of the janitor to carry letters for the Universi-
ty from the Post Office, and the presumption
is, if he gave the draft to Thomas, he must
have taken it from the letter in which it had
been sent.
On the 4tb, the Commissioner decided to
hold the accused to bail, in the sum of $500
each, for their appearance for trial at the Feb
ruary Term of the U. S. Court for the East
ern District of Pennsylvania.

Our NATIONAL DocroR's BILL.-The Sur
geon General of the army asks an appropria-
tion for the next fiscal year of So 100000
besides the pay of the surgeons, for the medi-
cal and hospital departments. His estimates
are founded upon the basis of 81 per man for
an aggregate of 50O,0 900 men. Besides this,
the Paymaster General asks for $73, coo, for
the payment of 500 female nurses. Add to
these items the pay of 600 surgeons, and you
have the doctors bill of the Federal army,
which will considerably exceed 81, ,OOO, 900 a

THE RAFTsmAn's JOURNAL.

The Wheeling Intelligencer says that General
Kelly, comma nder of the Union forces at
Romney, has been relieved. at his own request,
by General Reynolds. The immediate cause
OF this change is the continued ill health and
suffering experienced by Gen. Kelly ever since
he resumed command on sufficiently recover
ing from bis wound received at Philippi
Latterly the old wound has grown so much
worse as to disqualify him from all active du-
ty and confine him to his bed, and he has in
deed been too feeble to assume the cares of
command at SO important post as that as
signed him.. s

The SOUTHERN PORTS OF ENTRY.-Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens has introduced bill into
Congress to abolish certain ports ofentry along
the southern coast, in order to relieve the
government of the necessity and expense of
the blockade. 1t would also give us vast
feet to protect our commerce against the in
suits of the world and the piracy of the rebels.
Its consideration was postponed until the I'd
Tuesday of February.

MASON AND SLIDELL.-Tbese two traitors
were conveyed from Fort Warren to Province
town by the Steam tug Starlight, on the lst
January, and put on board the British war
steamer Rinaldo. BY advises from Halifax,
it appears that Mason and Slidell are to go no
further than that place in the Rinaldo. From
thence they are to proceed to Eng land in the
Cunard steamer.

HILTON HEAD.-By the news from Port Roy.
al, published in another column it will be
seen that Commodore Dupont is busily pre-
pairing to make another demonstration at some
point on the rebel coast. All the war ships
were concentrating, and a number of armed
launches were put in order and tested in the
work of covering the landing of a large body
of troops. The new Notifications at Hilton
Head are nearly finished, and when complete
they will be able to resist any force the rebels
can bring against them.

SUSPENSION OF BANKs.-The banks in Bos-
ton, New York, and Philadelphia, suspended
specie payments on the 30th December. This
may compel suspension of specie payments
by the banks generally throughout tho county.
1t was thought that the abundance of specie
in the banks, with the constant receipts from
both California and Europe, would have rem
dered such prudential course unnecessary.
No money panic, however, is anticipated !;
but on the contrary, it is asserted, that the
result of the suspension will be greater ease
in the money market, and an extension of dis
counts. The Pittsburg Banks had resolved
not to suspend.

THE FIRE IN NAsHvhLE.-A fire occurred in
Nashville, Tenn, on the 22d, by which the
commissary stores of the rebels, there, and a
portion of the ordnance department, were de-
stroyed. The loss is estimated at one million
of dollars. 1t is rather an ominous fact, that
these great fires happen just as our armies are
expected to advance. There must be some
body in the region of Secessia who are not ia
vorable to the rebel cause.

REBEL SECRET SooIETIEs.-The st. Louis
Repa btican publishes an erpose of a rebel secret
society, which was recently organized in Mis-
souri-its object being hostility to the Govern
nent OF the United States. similar treas
enable society has also been exposed in the
State of Indiana. Among other things, its
members are sworn to oppose the war and re-
sist the collection of taxes.

REBEL ARMY.-The Secession army at Bow
ling Green is supposed to be about 80. 900
strong. Its chief reliance is upon the strength
of the Notifications it has erected. 1t is now
too weak to hazard any important offensive
movement, and it will require all its energies
to defend its position and to prevent the ad-
vance of our army into Tennessee.

SKIRMIsH.-In the afternoon of the 3lst
Dec, rebel force with one gun, attacked he
workmen on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
eleven miles below Hancock, whilst engaged
in laying down the track. The rebels were
routed by the Federal protective force, with a
loss of 20 killed. The assalants were prote &C.
ting the rebel laborers who were engaged in
taking up the track.

ALARMED.-1t appears that the rebels were
much alarmed last week at Yorktown, on ac.
count of reported advance on that place by
Gen. Wool. 1t is said that Magruder tele-
graphed TO Richmond for perm ission TO de-
stroy Yorktown by fire, in consequence of the
report; but he was directed to refrain unless
certain of an immediate attack.

The CHANGE OF UNIroRM.-The recent
change in the uniform of our troops is made
as measure of economy. Sky blue cloth has
taken the place of dark blue, and officers are
allowed to wear the large capped light blue
cavalry overcoat. The saving is in the indigo
used for dying the dark cloth. and it is esti-
mated that it will amount to upwards of three
quarters of a million of dollars.

FEMALE SEcEssIoNIsT.-Mrs.. .Baxley, of Bal.

placed in the prison for females, in the western

that she was recently arrested as spy. Not
only in the folds of her dress, but in the rolls
of her hair were discovered contraband letters,
which are in the possession of the proper au-
thorities.

DIsBANDISG.-Gen. Prices army in Missou-
ri is said to be rapidly disbanding. The peo-
pie of Arkansas would not permit those who
had not formally entered into the service of
the Confederates to march into that State,
and the vigorous movements of General Pope
have taught them the danger of rema lining in
Missouri.

SINGULAR.-Extract from Hatteras Inlet
letter Of Dec. 18th: sThe sauciest thing that
"Seccsh" has yet done occurred the other day.
Two steamers, the Fanny and Curlew, came
mp within two miles OF the forts, and either
destroyed or took with them two large cam
buoys which marked the channel. Our ships
blazed away at them, while they were four or
five miles distant; but as they came closer
the firing sackened, and when they were
closest, our ships did not fire shot, but al
lowed them to do the mischief, and leave
without damage. All this time, there were
two tugs lying at the fort, which could have
gone out to meet them, but they never moved.
There is a very large screw loose somewhere,
and it ought to be attended to. Probably all
tho officers of the Navy, with reasonable
proclivities, have not YET been rooted out.

out bad one, especially if secessionst.
We notice that the other day fine cake was
sent to Mrs. Greenhow, rebel lady confined
in Washington. Lieut.. Sheldon stuck pen
knife into it in several places, and striking a
hard substance, opened it, and found Treasury
notes, ,ffves and tens to a considerable amount;
also letter. stating that arrangements had
been made to effect her escape and conveyance
to Richmond, and naming the day and hour Of
doliverance. When the lady found out the
discovery obtained from her cake, her anger
was uncomfortable. The Lieutenant bought
her nice new cake and sent it to her, but she
hreaC it down stairs.

A TRAGEDY AT NAsHvILLE.-A correspond
ent of the Chicago Times relates the following
as having lately occurred at Nashville, Tenn :
s'The State Capitol is scarcely three hundred
PAGES from the residence of Mrs. James K.
Polk. On the morning Of the l4th of Novem-
Der, brisk sprightly negro woman, the prop
erty of Mrs. Polk and servant in her house,
procured knife, and having proceeded to
the bed in which lay three OF her own children,
from two to six or seven years of age, cut
their throats, and when they had breathed
their last, placed them decently beside each
other, called to fellow servant to come and
see what she had done, and then cut her own
throat. The Nashville papers say the woman
was insane.''

THEY HAVE THEIR REwARD.-The ordinance
OF secession was. passed on the Goth day OF
December, 1860, and less than year has seen
the footsteps of the invader on the soil of
South Carolna-the commerce of her ports
destroyed-her crops given to the flames
her slaves escaping-her material wealth re-
duced to almost nothing -beggary and near
starvation racking her people-and finally her
chief city laid in ashes without even the hand
Of the ssnorthern enemy" being laid upon her.
Verify the nest in which was hatched the vi
per of secession, has Jared i'll, and all who may
be hereafter disposed to adopt the policy of
"rule or ruin" may take warning. Some way
the destruction reaches them, and how it
reaches them is a matter of but little conse-
quence.
