The delay in the overland mail west of Chi

An order by the President, through the Ad-
jutant Generals office, has been issued to the
commanders of the different military depart
ments to the effect that it is the duty of aliens
residing in the United States, TO submit to and
obey the laws and respect the authority of the
government. For any proceedings or conduct
inconsistent with this obligation, they might
rightfully be subjected to military restraint
when this is necessary, but they cannot be re-
quired to take the oath of allegiance to this
Government. All such obligations heretofore
taken are therefore RENTED. Military COM
manders will abstain from imposing similar OBJ
legations in future, and in lieu therefore adopt
such other restraints of the kind indicated as
are necessary, convenient and effectual for the
public safety. Whenever any order shall be
made affecting the personal liberty of an alien,
reports of the same and the causes thereof
shall be made to the War Department for the
consideration of the Department of State.
1t is understood that Capt. Gibson has OBJ
tanned leave of absence until further orders, to
command a regiment of Volunteer artillery
from PENNSYLVANIA, and that Maj Burton will
relieve him in command Of Fort Delaware.
Already defaced postage stamps are being

Postage Stamps as Circulating Medium.

WASHINGTON, July o.
There appears to be very general misappre-
hension with regard to the Act authorizing
payment in stamps and to prohibit the circu-
lation of notes of less denomination than one
dollar, which was approved July II. Under
the provisions Of this Act the Secretary of the
Treasury, aud not the Postmaster General. is
directed TO furnish postage and other stamps
to the Assistant Treasurer and such designat-
ed repositories of the United States as the
former may select, to be exchanged by them
on application, for United States notes. and
from and after the LIST day of August next
such stamps shall be received in payment of
all dues to the United States less than 5 dol
lars and shall be received in exchange for
United States notes when presented in sums
not less than five dollars, to any Assistant
Treasurer or designated depository selected
as aforesaid.
Hence this law does not make postage
stamps legal tender, nor does it require Post
Masters to receive them i'm exchange for u. S.
notes. 1t is expected that the Secretary will
furnish postage stamps to be used as circulate
ing medium under the law, in such form that
they cannot be attached to letters or other
mailable matter Such stamps will be ex-
changed by Post Masters for the regular post
age stamps, besides being redeemable by
Treasury notes by Assistant Treasures and
such designated repositories as the Secretary
of the Treasury may select. No postage
stamps can be exchanged at Post Offices, or
redeemed by the Treasury Department, unless
furnished through the agencies of that Depart
ment Postage stamps now sold by Post
Masters are not exchangeable or redeemable
by them, and If such stamps are gummed to
paste board or other paper, which soils or rem
ders them unfit TO be used in the prepayment
of postage, they will be rejected for postage,
because when so soiled they cannot be distin-
guished from stamps which have already been
used for postage.

satisfaction of feeling that he has changed one of the

POSTAGE SrAMPs.-Notice having been
given that gold, silver, or treasury notes, will
hereafter be required in payment for postage
stamps, the Bangor Wing pertinently remarks
as follows:
We presume the Government receives its
own demand notes for stamps. If neither
those nor current bank bills will be taken. we
don't see as stamps are to be any easier of at
tainment than silver change. Being a legal
tender, they would at once be boarded. The
arrangement will in fact be of little value UNI
less current bank bills are received.
