A SMART YANKEE GIRL.-We re.
late a true story, which is a gratify-
ing instance of successful Yankee
enterprise. A young girl, belonging
to a respectable family in reduced
circumstances, four years ago learn
ed to operate sewing machines, and
then went to Peru to teach the art to
Spanish girls, and to establish bu-
slness in that country. She has since
enjoyed uniform good health, and
has realized between three and four
thousand dollars year beyond her
expenses. About a year ago, she
married wealthy old Spaniard, who,
dying, bequeathed to her fortune
of eighty thousand dollars, and thus
placed her in comfortable and inde-
pendent circumstances. She now
writes to her relatives to emigrate to
Peru and share her good fortune.

THE EXCISE LAw-CoNMoN CAERIBRs.-
The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue has
decided 'sthat the item marked Express on
page 50 of the Excise Law was not intended to
embrace the freight business of railroads and
ordinary wagoners, but Is limited to persons
who are express carriers, and not merely CON-
carriers, under the law" And sthat per-
sons and companies engaged in transporting
goods over the country as such business is
usually performed by railroad corporations,
are not liable to the payment of n stamp tax
upon the receipts given for such goods" He
is ''also of opinion that the first item in sched-
ule b does not include such receipts for freight
as are generally given by railway companies.
A receipt is no doubt in technical sense an
agreement or contract but in the ordinary use
of language this close construction does not
hold Had Congress intended to include re-
ceipts it would have been easy to have so pro-
yided, in plain language"

POSTAGE STAMPs.-A. N. Zevely, Esq, the
Third Assistant Postmaster General, has Just
issued circular to POstmasters generally, in
which he informs them that the recent demand
by the public for postage stamps, under an er-
roneous impression with regard to the law au-
thorizing the issue of s'postage currency" has
entirely exhausted the surplus stock, and the
Department is now dependent upon the daily
manufacture 10 meet the acquisitions of Post
masters. He therefore instructs Postmasters
that sales of stamps must be restricted to such
as may be needed by the public for prepayment
OF postage, the ordinary demand at any office
being the guide. Ana inasmuch as the unad-
yised use of postage stamps circulating
medium has sOiled or defacpd them in q greater
or less degree, and evil persons, taking advan-
tage Of that circumstance, have put into circu-
lation stamps which have evidently been used
in prepayment of postage, every Postmaster is
instructed to treat as unpaid any letter placed
IN Post Office for mailing which may be COW
cred with stamp at all soiled or defaced, or
which has apparently been used in the payment
of postage. Such letters will be sent at once to
the Dead Letter Office. 1t is important that the
public as well as POStmasters should bear these
instructions in mind The Department has re-
peatedly, by special letters and official an
nounCement, declared its opposition to the sale
and use of postage stamps for q currency fore
seeing the results of such course on the part
OF the public.

THE SITUATION.
THE CONDITION OF LEES ARMY.
HE RECEIVES PROM TWENTY TO THIRTY
THOUSAND REINFORCEMENTS,
MOSTLY C0SSCRIPTS.
7aE cOSsCRIpTs DESERVING IN DRoyEs.


Our information from General MeClellan's
army is up to yesterday afternoon, when he
was busy, As ever since his late engagements,
in getting his new troops into proper condi-
tion-a work OF some time, rs experience has
invariably proved. Nevertheless he is accom-
plshing it satisfactorily and with dispatch.
Since his retreat into Virginia, Lee has un-
doubtedIy received reinforcements to the extent
of between twenty and thirty thousand men,
all conscripts, with very few exceptions. Yet
his army, we believe, is not stronger to-day
than Immediately after the battle of Antietam,
owing TO its large number of dpserters, (from
among the conseripts.) who go off daily in
bodies of twenty, fifty or a hundred, and wan
der over the country in the rear.
Lee is still conscripting in the country around
him with remorseless energy, seizing all under
forty-five who fall within his reach; taking
citizens walking in the streets accompanied by
their wives and children. The presence of
troops 80 obtained in his ranks in so much
larger numbers than before, can hardly fail to
weaken the efficiency of his veteran and will
ing men greatly in the next series Of engage
ments which, it is believed in our army, can
hardly be postponed more than ten days lenger,
unless Lees army dissolves of its own accord
before that time, through desertions, lack of
clothing, scarcity OF provisions, &c; the coun-
try within reach of his commissaries and quar-
termaster having already been cleaned almost
as bare as the palm of ones hand to clothe and
feed his army.
