zhe Postage stamp Difficulty.

We have omitted to protest against the re-
cent regulation of the Po; tmaseI General, for
bidding the use, on letters, Of soiled stamps
because it was so unreasonable and 80 fagraut
ly unjust that We felt sure the order had been
drawn up by some clerk unskilled in the use
OF language, and would be modified CT with.
drawn as soon as its effect became known at the
Department But we hear nothirg Of correc
ton, and are forced to believe that the Post
master General either does not yet understand
the effect Of the order, or is regardless of the
Injustice be docs.
II is The business OF the Post Once Depart
nent, by Its local officers, TO guard against
the use of stamps which have already once
been used. To do this, they are at liberty
to deiacc these in any manner they think
most effective. But TO refuse to admit a
stamp because II has become soiled, Is to re.
fuse to honor an obligation freely entered into
A merchant might as we'll decline to recog-
nizs his note Of hand because it had become
worn 10 the holders pocket or safe, Or q
Judge declare a deed or other document 10
valid bscsuse 1t was musty, creased, or soiisd
As the recent order OF the Postmaster Gen
erai il understood aud enforced, the Depart
msnt is doing just that,
The people were authorized, by an act O
Congress, to uss postage stamps for currency
they submitted to the Inconvenience cheer
fully; they held the Governments note O
hand good, be it for ,hree cents or for 5000
Why should one branch Of The Government nov
throw doubt Oh what has become a part o
tho currency of ths country, by an ordel
which is unreasonable and ubjustY As soor
a, ,be new postage currency" is issued il
sufficient quantities, that will naturally rsplac,
the stamps. Till, then, the Post Office Depart
ment should devise a method 10 guard itssl
against the frauds of bad men, without com
mitting Wholesale Injustice on the commu
nifty. The recent order certainly protects The
Department; but a notice that no stamp,
would hereafter be received for postage on
letters would perhaps achieve that end more
efsctJally and would not be much mere un
reasonable.

So shouted Douglas in the hour of dissolution,
as momentary remembrance Of his imperiled
country fitted through his wandering mind,
and the same is to-day the shout Of the entire
loyal heart of the country. The people want
"the column to MOVE owl" have just returned
from three weeks journey through the great
Northwest, which has sent forth its gallant sons
40 generously for this terrible war, and Ia still
40 unhssitatingly loyal and patriotic, and
every where found II to be the earnest wish
that the column should co FORWARD! The last
man and the last dollar are at the service of the
Government. The newspapers have carried
the tidings Of the Thay0r enterprise for tho
redemption OF the State of Florida, the fair
young queen of the South, and thousands OF
the stalwart sons Of the West are earnestly
anxious TO give heart and arm to that noble
enterprise. They look upon the scheme as
something that promises a poaitiye accom-
plshment, that assures the early return of a
rebellious State TO its old loyalty. They like
the enterprise In all its details, and they have
an abiding faith In Ell Thaysr, for they remem-
ber the perseverance and skill with which he
wrought in the laying Of the foundation Of the
free State Of Kansas. The people Of the North

Floridas column shall MOVE ON And will you

The following characteristic letter, like every

From the Philadelphia American Presbyterian.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 1862.
In my church hospital We have divine wor.
ship every erening at Cl o'clock, consisting OF
singing, accompanied by the melodeon, read
ing of scripture, (somsiimes an exhortation,)
prayer. doXology, and benediction. Preaching
every Sabbath morning.
Before the edlice was occupied by the Gov
ernment for N hospital, we had four stated
services, now we have eight. In these ser.
v ces, I stand in the pulpit on the main foor
(bosrded over the pews) and on which are
100 beds. The patients are furnished with
the soldiers hymn book" and many of them
join with us IN our songs or praise. why may
not the hour OF our evening worship bs the
hour for concert prayer In all places for the
divine blessing on our country-the President
Of the United states-the army-the navy-sick
and wounded soldiers-the parents bereavsd
Of their sons, and widows and orphans, In these
fearful times.
For these we daily pray, and have our even
ing worship for this set purpose.
4 returned Baptist preacher who went to the
Peninsula TO attend sick and wounded, and WAS
made prisoner at "Ssvage Station" told me
this morning that In his two months imprison
ment he preached and ministered TO Ave thou
sand Of cur brave fellows, and that everywhere
he delivered my message as he was leaving
this city for McClelan's army: "Tell the boys
we are pray ing for them" The preacher said
that this was the greatest comfort and encour.
agement TO them in their trials.
Now lot US have this evening concert Of
prayer in closet. family, session room, and IN
all places, and lot this fact be communicated 10
the army " We are praying for you," and even

our cause triumphant.
Many thanks for the many articles from the
