Postal Reform.

Mr.. HUTcnINs of this State, calls atten.
ton, in a speech recently delivered in the
House of Representatives, to the fact,
that upon transient printed matter we
now have three hundred and rightyJfeUr dis
tinct rates, and recommends that those be
reduced to nine in number. On regular
and periodicals there are for
ty-nine rates, such as G., Of, l9l, &c, SO
and 5SJ cents. Mr.. Hutchins proposes
that there shall be but fourteen rates,
like s., 10, Is, 30 and 60 cents.
The total number of rates upon all de
scriptions of postal matter, is tosr hundred
and forty-one. Nj. Hutchins would reduce
them to twenty-four. Such changes by
simplifying the details of postal affairs.
would save an immense amount of labor
and greatly reduce the expense.
In 1860, $50. O00,0 900 of letters passed
through the British Post Offices 380,000,-
600 more than passed through our post
offices in the same year. Mr.. Hutchins
thinks the main reason why, these Stats
tics show so favorably 70 Great Britain, is
in the superiority of her postal system. ov-

JOHN HUTCHINS:
Letter from tie Sixth Cavalry.

STRAusBuRG, Va1 June ., 1862.
EDIToRs CHRoNIcEB:-Again the 9th is
at this place with the army, not on a re-
treat, understand; bet fr1n policy, which
will be better understood by the public
and many puzzled soldiers e'er long. Our
sick and wounded have been sent forward
to Martihsburg, and other places for their
good and to tighten our bufdefis, or rather
to free US from all encttnibrahce possible.
Our army, combined with others, now o.
cupies an extensive front, which we mis-
trust the willy jackson will fitd somewhat
formidable if he dares to come this way,
and his army might get their dues forbar-
barities coInmittedhere n shortt time since:
This line is an important n to be held,
and of course we shall not yield it with
out a struggle. We are on the extreme
right of the army, the left laying many
mikes from here. We know not what our
Generals information is, and we soldiers
know nothing of any force very neal us,
except bands of guerrillas, which hang
about and fire from ambush, and pick off
any stragelers from our camp. An officer
was thus fred upon and wounded a day
or two ago. But we have had nothing
very serious since our boys were taken
prisoners, and from whom we hear not a
word. At present the 9th is on scout and
picket duty, exceptCo Z. A, which has been
permanently detailed from the regiment
for provost guard duty. 1t keeps them
busy to protect Secesh property. II is an
important duty, but we hope our Govern
ment will attend to Secesh property itself
soon. A little incident occurred a day or
two since, in connection with provost duty,
which caused some excitement. A Ger
man soldier undertook to pass the guard,
not obeyiug the order to halt, which
of course was repeated several times. An
nfastry man fred to soear him. But not
nsipding that, n Of U boys, Geo. Tay-
Tor, discharged bis pistol, still he halted

DEAR Ma. HoYr:-Yours of June 5th
arrived a day or two since. By it we learn
of the death Of Charles E. Masters 1 had

he was very i'll when he left the regiment.
Charley was a splendid fellow and his
death is deeply regretted by us all. The

return the property and prisoners, make

suits us.
Florence is a nice village. a place of great
wealth, in former days. But that hearty
Union feeling reported in Frank Leslie's
paper is all in Your eye, except among
the niggers. There is not an ounce OF
Union blood in this county, except as far
rs they have to, and as far as good "green
backs" go. We are treated with great
pohteness and courtesy, but the feeling is

yesterday, and had the felicity of hearing
old Jeffy most earnestly prayed for, also
his Cabinet and advisers; and that God,
in His wisdom, would look down upon
and bless their generals and army, and %
give them strength and wisdom to plan
and carry u a system that would soon
enable them to make a lasting peace,
honorable to themselves as to us, and
that heaven would look down in mercy on
their foes, open their eyes to see the error
of their ways, &c. Nice talk that was, for
a q. s.. officer to listen to but we heard
a very good sermon, and excellent singing.
1t is said there are large sums of money,
in coin, boarded up by all the citizens.-
Coin is saleable now at 60 to 65 per cent
premium and until we came none was to
be had. "Green backs " are worth 30. 40
and 90 per cent over current script and
Confederate notes. Took dinner in town
yesterday, had peas, beans, cucumbers,
potatoes, squash, &C., have plenty of Der
ries, and some ripe apples.
We understand there are to be five new
three years regiments raised. The reg
iment raised 500 for new instruments for
the band.
1t does not seem TO me that there is
any prospect of peace. l have concluded
that it will take at least another year to
wind up the rebellion. %

Care of Secesh Property-Gen. Gar
field, &c.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, writing from Tuscumbia, Alabama,
says:
Yesterday a foraging party Gen. Gar
fields brigade discovered distinct traces
of the whereabouts of a lot of II thou
sand bales of cotton, which had been sub
scribed by a noted Secessionist to the
Southern Confederacy. Capt. Ralph
Plumb, Quartermaster, reported the facts
to Gen. Garfield, commanding, and the
same has been forwarded to headquarters
of Gen. Buell., in hopes that measures may
be Immediately taken to secure so much
of the lot as may be found. Without
doubt this is but a sample of what may
be found in the way of contraband prop
erty. Indeed. it seems to your correspon-
dent that q mistaken policy governs our
movements as nm army. Here we are,
surrounded by as inveterate and deter
mined a set of rebels as can be found in
the entire South. They have given their
means without stint to in%augurate and
carry forward the rebellion. They have
all around US immense quantities of prop
erty, enough to defray the expense OF
feeding the entire army of Gen. Buell.
! 30 determined are THESE TcOelS VI SuStdlll
their cause at all hazards That they bold
ly say to our Generals that all of these i'm
mense cornfields are designed to sustain
the Confederate army another year
These corn6elds are immense. On every
plantation where heretofore only cotton
has been produced, now the negro gangs
are made to hoe corn instead, so that the
rebels may not fail of a supply of bread
And yet we are obliged to feed our ami
mails on short rations and to pay from
Northern loyal pockets not only he x-
pense of transporting at great disadvan-
tago the supplies for the men, but the
poor soldier is compelled to Pay (if he
buysl an m price for any luxury
he may desire to obtain. Butter, 40 cents;
eggs. 25 cents per dozen; pies, % cents
each dressed pig, % cents per pound /;
chickens, so cents, and POOR at that, are
moderate samples of prices charged, and
paid for in good Treasury notes.
Animportant court-martial for the Sixth
Division has been sitting for seven days
past without a%djourning for an hour ex-
cept for meals and sleep. Gen. Garfield
being the ranking officer in the Division,
is the president of the Court, and proves
to be as much at home there as in the
Chair of President of his own loved insti-
tuition in Ohio or in the more exciting
business of whipping Humphrey Marshall
in Eastern Kentucky.
