that carried terror TO the hearts of the enemy.

Who DID TIT is sometimes comfort

result. In this way some Of the New

from their defeat in the recent elections.

street, Wadsworth received 10 votes and
Seymour 300 At the Five Points Wads-
worth got 50 votes and Seymour SO.
At Corlaer's Wadsworths vote was 40
and Seymours 800. In Mackerellville
Wadsworth received SO votes and Sey-
mour $40. In SO preeincts within whose
limits are 2,743, doggeries, 279 notorious
brothels, 10 places where thieves and
rufians do mostly congregate," los

A WORKING REGIMENT-Gen. Weitzel,
in one of his reports to General Butler,
speaks of a regiment in his brigade as
follows:
cannot too much commend the en-
ergy of Col Thomas, with his regiment,
the 9Th Vermont, who have in six days
opened ffty-two miles of railroad, built
nine culverts, rebuilt bridge burned by
the enemy, four hundred and thirty-fve
(435) feet long, besides pulling up the
rank grass from the track, which en-
tirely impeded the locomotive all the
way; in this work they were assisted by
Col Stafford's regiment, Native Guard,
colored.

STAMPs-Some people are using the
new Bank Check y stamp for prepay
ment of postage This ought not to be
done None of the ReUeRue or Treasury
Stamps are designed for postage pur-
poses, and when put on letters are of no
value for paying postage. Persons send
ing off foreign letters should be particu-
larly careful, as these ought to be paid in
full to destination, or not paid at all
when directed to points to which pre-
payment is optional.
Use none but U. S. Postage Stamps,
or what is preferable, use the stamped
enrelopes. Then there can be no mis-
take. They are cheaper than any other
envelope, as they are sold at cost with
the value of the stamp added.
In using postage stamps, be careful
and use only the ner issue. These may
be distinguished from the old by the mi
tials . U in the left corner, the S in
the right. All the new postage stamps
have this distinguishing mark-the old
stamps have not. The old ones dark
blue; the old threcs are dark red; the new
threes pink; the new qnes light blue.
Many old style stamps are passing as
currency They are of no ralue whatev-
err, and should be refused. When used
to prepay postage, they cause disappoint
ment and delay.
