Postage Stamp Currency.

A writor fIom Washington, speaking:In
releronee TO the postage stamp currency,
says:
There is very general mi,apprebension
with regard to tho act authorizing pay
ment in stamps, and to prohibit the clrcuia,
zion OF notes of less denomination than one
dollar, which was approved July 18th, inst.
Under the provisions of this act, the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, and not the Post
master General, is directed to furnish post
ago and other stamps to the Assistant Treas-
urers, and such designated repositories at
the United States as the former may select,
TO be exchanged by them on application, foe
United States notes.
From and after the first day of August
neKt. such stamps shall be received 10 pay
ment Of all dues to the Uuited States less
than five dollars. and shall be received in
exchange for United States notes when
presented in Gums not less than five dollars
to any Assistant Treasurer or designated
dep os;tory selected as aforesaid. Hence
this law does not make stamps legal tender,
nor docs it require Postmasters to receive
them in exchange for United States notes.
1t is expected that tho Secretary will fur.
nish postage stamps to bo used as a circuls-
ting medium under the law, in such form
that they cannot be attached to letters of
othor mailablo matter. Such stamps will
be exchanged by Post Masters for the regu-
lar postage stamps, besides being redeenia-
bic BY treasury notes by Assistant Treas
urers and such designated repositories as
the Secretary of the Treasury may select
No postage stamps can be exchanged at
Post Offices or redeemed by the Treasury
/ Department unless furnished through the
agencies of the Department.
Postage stamps now sold by Postmastera
arc not .exchangoable by them, and il such
] stamps are gummed to pasteboard or some
other paper which soils or renders them unfit
to bo used in the pay ment of postage, they
will Le rejected for postage, because when
so soiled they cannot be distinguished from
stamps which have already been used for
postage 1t is understood that the postage
stamps will 10 no case be redeemei by the
r. o. Department or the Treasury If SO
| changed or altered by pastage on other
paper or otherwise as to render them un6i
, for postage uses.
This is absolutely necessary to prevent
frauds. Already dofaced postage stamps
are being bought up and passed at theil
nominal value, after having the defacing inl
extracted, and being pasted on paper tt
coucesl the loss OF the gum.

THE WORLD WE HAVE NOT SEEN

Thore 10 world we havo not seen,
And time can ne'cr that world destroy;
Where mortal footstep hath not beon,
Nor ear hath caught its sounds OF joy.
There is a region Iovclicr far
Than sagos know or poets singl
Brighter than summers beauties arc,
And softer than the tints of spring.
There is world with blessings best.
Beyond what prophets Ger foretoldj
Nor might tho tongue of angel guest
picture of that world unfold.
1t is oil holy and sereno--
The land Of glory and repose;
No darkness dims the radiant scene,
Nor sorrows tear within it flows.
II is not fann'd by summons gale.
'ris not refreshed by vernal showers;
1t never needs the moonbeams pale.
Aud thero arc known no evening hours.
No, no, this world is ever bright
With azure radiance ali its own;
Tho streams of uncreated light
Flow round from the Eternal Throne.
There forms that mortals may not see
Too glorious for the eye to trace,
And clad in peerless majesty,
Move with unaltersbo grace.
Iu vain tho philosophc eye
May seek to view the fair abode,
Or find it in the curtainod skv-
1t is the dwelling place of God

ST. Petersburg correspondence OF the In
dependence Beige states a public proclama-
ton is shortly expected which will emanci.
pate the peasants of the Grown. whose num-
ber amounts to about 2O000.000. When
tho Emperor liberated the 33 600, 900 serfs
of the nobility, he decroed that the peasants
of tho domains, of tho appendages, and
others dependent on the State, should have
tho same benefit. and likewise obtain the
same title to the possession of certain
portion of land. To understand the great
significance of such a measure, it must be
known that three. .fourths of tho land belongs
to the State. The communities of tho peas
ants of the Grown, Who occupy part OF
this land, pay to the public treasury per-
sonal tax equal to that which the peasants
of tho nobility wero paying to their masters,
Besides, they pay to tho Grown, on rent for
the land, one rubIe for every dessidnhnt
1.-TWO and "a half English acres.) But this
land is ceded to the community only fGr

never passes from father to son, unless by
special favor and temporarily. Usually, a
distribution of the land takes place every
third year. II is made in every community
where the arabic land is divided into DIS
many lots or parcels as there are able-bodied
men.
The forthcoming decree of the Emperor
will give to each peasant full possession o.
that portion of land which he will be cult
vating ut the timo the decree will be issued
The peasants will have the right to purchase
if they can, their little property at once
those who will not have sufficient means, o.
may not wish to buy at once, will be allowed
to do so by paying annually into the publit
treasury the interest, with an amortization
of the capital or value of land.

was condemned along with two females to
be burnt to death. King Henry Ill, OF
France, urged him to give up bis religion

That is not speaking like king These

Account of the Battle of Williams
burg,

Bdltimore. May The following is from
the Americans account of the baltic of Mon
day
The battle before Williamsburg on Mo1day,
was a most warmly contested engagement =
Owing to the roughness of the country aud the
bad condition Of The roads, but small portion
OF our troops could be brought into scrion.
Gen. SIckles' Excelsio; Brigade, of General
HoOkers Division, bore the great brunt OF the
battle, and fought most Val0rously, though
greuuy Overpowered by number and the supe-
FIOr position and earthwOrks OF the enemy. The
approaches 20 their works were a series Of ra-
vines aud swamps, whilst the rain fell in tor.
rents throughout the day The men had also
been lying on their urms all the previous night,
in the woods, soaked with rain and chilled with
cold
The battle ragged from early in the morning
until three o'clock 10 the afternoon, when Gen
Mcclellan arrived with fresh troops, aud re-
lIet ted the Division OF Gen. Hooker, who were
nearly prosrated with fatigue and exposure
wh.lsl the third Excelsior regiment of the Bri.
gade had its ranks terribly thInned by the balls
of the enemy. They are represented as having
fought with such impetuous bravery that not
less than 200 If them were killed and wounded
After the arrival of Gen. Mcclellan, The
enemy was hercely charged upon by Hancock's
brigade, and was driven within Their works
b.'ore nighrfal, with heavy loss.
! Nearly 700 of their dead were left on the
field, with many wounded, though many OF the
| latter were carried into Williamsburg
Our loss was less than 300 killed and about
700 wounded.
Night having come on we occupied the bat
tie field, the enemy having been driven within
| his works.
A large number Of wagons and munitions OF
war, aud coGsidera bic store of provisions were
found in town, whilst the road was strewn for
many miles with arms and accOuirements.
A number of deserlers also made their es.
cape and come within our lines. They stat ed
that the rebels had received intelligence that
large numbers Of the United States troops were
landing on York river, above Williamsburg ic
flank them.
On Monday the enemy teok about eighty o
our men prisoners, and captured one of the
Pennsy sylvania batteries, having first killed al
the horses, aud they having but small sup
p"rt of infantry were overwhelmed by supe
rior force and were compelled to aba ndon ihe
gunA The battery, however, also one of III,
enemy's were recaptured. The prisoners were
found in Williamsburg.

AsrONISrIMENr OF THE REBELS.

The surrender Of New Orleans is the most
astonishing event Of the war;" writes a rebel !
IN one of the Southern newspapers. The only
thing we know of more remarkable is that all
the rebel papers, the rebel Congress and the |
rebel President, Jefferson Davis himself, have
stereotyPed this idea, and put it forth again
and again, as sort of graceful way of announ-
cling each disaster. Marvelousness is their
weakness.
When Fort Hatteras tell, the establishment
OF the rebels waa real and unbounded. When
Port Royal followed, it was Increased, because
they had thought we could not do The same
thing second time, whlie their magaz nes
were well protected When Roanoke Island
was captured, Jefferson Davis announced Gov.
! WIse's conduct as astonishing. The capture
OF Fort Donelson was by him proclaimed to
Congress unaccountable, and each event Of the
war becomes apparently more SO to the rebels
1t Is dIgnified way OF breaking the matter to
the Southern public, and letting the world know
that their repeated defeats have not rendered
them callous, or destroyed their expec 'atons of
having, after every reverse, been fully able to
stop all former leaks and float out their Snip Of
State gallantly, in spite of all breakers.
Is it true Are the rebels--is Davis really
aston lshed at defeat OF any kind Washing
ton was astonlshed at so easy and peaceful a
capture OF The Crescent CITY. All our polltl-
clars were ascnsIcd and conld hardly believe
II for days. But Davis must have known the
weakness of his resources better than We did
