TnE army correspondent of the SaUarnah
Republican gives an account of quarrel
which took place between Toombs and Gen.
Hill after the battle of Malvern Hill. Hill
charged TOombs with taking the field too
late and leaving it too carly. Toombs
wished to eight a duel with Hill But the
latter declined. The correspondent says:
"Fiuding that Hill would neither with
draw his offensive imputations, except upon
conditions not to be thought OF, nor fight
him now, nor promise to do so in the event
OF his..resignation, the only remedy left Gen.
Toombs was to denounce him as n coward
aud liar, which he proceeded to do at the
headquarters Of their superior officers, and
at other places in the camps"

soIled Postage stamps.

An impression prevails that those pos.
tage stamps which have been used as cur
rency until they have become sOiled and
defAeed will be repudiatsd by the Govern
meut because she use of such stamps has
been forbidden in prepayment of postage.
Such is not the fact. A Washington des-
patch evidently authoritative, says;
alt is not the intention of the Govern
ment to refuse to redeem soiled or defaced
or torn postage stamps that have been used
Ms currency, They cannot, however, be re-
ceived as proper stamps to put on letters 10
be sent through the mails. Such mast be
clean an unmarked. But the redemption
of soiled aud or torn ones. that have been
used as currency, and not second time
for postage, will be provided for hereaf-
ter"
Persons, therefore, having sOiled or de-
faced stamps, which have not been used ia
prepayment OF postage, should hold them
until the Department is ready to redeem
them with new and clean ones. 4

dead, but actually numbering and scalping
the wounded as they lay helpless and suffer
ing on the ground. More than one hundred
and twenty OF our brave men were thus har-
barously treated by the savage foe, who had
been wrought to a pitch Of frenzy by the
rebels, through passionate appeals and de-
clarations that the Yankees designed to en-,
slave them, and force ,them, With chains
and whips, TO do the yilest drudgeryin their
aristocratic homes in the North.
Not only did the enemy thus poison thor
minds, but every day before the sayages
went into action they received large pota-
tons Of whisky, mixed with gunpowder,
which rendered the naturally fierce sons OF
the forest perfect demons. Under this OK,
traordinafy stimulus they forgot their usual
caution, and, exposing themselves after the
American fashion, were killed in great mum.
