THE NEW MILITARY GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS.
Colonel Phelps the newly appointed Military Governor
OF Arkansas left this city to-day. There BIO dit
ference Of opinion among men OF sense to the

Southern States 10 the condition Of colonies or
ces 1t ia not for this check alone upon the radicals that
Mr. Lincoln is entitled, at this me to the continued con-
ndsncs Of true PATRIOTS but it is for many other things

country that General Marcy has been reap.
pointed Inspector General by the President. The
occasion OF hs non-condrmaon by the Senate is at
tributed to the fact that he brought to this city

Mr.. ZeveeJ Third Assistant Postmaster General was
At the Treasury Department to-day, to request

TUE ENGRAVING AND PRINTING UNDER THE TAX
LAW.
Tho Secretary Of the Treasury has been regularly be-
seiged by cngavers and photographers Of every doscrp
lion FOR the contract TO the stamps required by
the provisions Of tho internal tax law account or the
impossiby OF preparing the machinery for the execu-
ton of this work by tho government itself In
Secretary has boon compelled 70 give out the contract
those who have the material ready do the work This
necessity is regretted, as the government should
cusivey all tho materials and machinery used engrav.
ing and printing its stamps and notes.
Considerable difficulty has been experienced in the
award Of the contract for paper for the new demand
notes. Expcr fenced engravers suggest that tho only
safety for the Is TO purchase paper mill
make its apar besides having its Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing.
The machinery erected in the Treasury building is for
the stamping aud not the printing of United States notes.
