RBH a glance al the report Of th

FBy glance at the report of the
Postmaster General, we Gnd some
rather surprising facts. During the
last year of the reign Of "old Buck, Z"
theexpenditures of the department were
SI4.874,77e SO; the receipts for the
same time being S9.918.O6 40. Ieav-
ing defency of $685. .7o5 40. In
1862, with number of States in insur-
rection and no revenue therefrom, the
expenditures are s11.I95,374 l3, and
the receipts s9.o19,549 Sc. Thus we
see that the revenue of 1862, from 10y
al States aloneis only S9o5.5I2 "a less
than in 1860 from all the States, and
only $40, ,470 so less than in 1861,
when revenue for greater portion of
the year was paid in from all the States.
The expenditures in 1862 are 50. 749,-
4O8 less than in 1860, and So, ,481, 1874
less than 1862.
One right the rebels have lost. and
that is the right to make the North pay
their postage. In another year, the
post Office will be self sustaining, unless
the South should conclude to come
back, when of course the North, as
usual. can foot the bills.

A USroH WOMAN CAPruazs TES
REBELs.--Captain Boigbt. Of Co. H,
Esd Kentucky Infantry. formerly !
resident Of Cincinnati. vouches for the
truth Of the following instance Of female
bOroism. which he somnunicstes to the
Gazette. She ought to receive . CON-
mission:
During the retreat Of the army Of
Kirby Smith toward Cumberland Gan.
the regiment to which Capt. Boight be-
longed was in the van OF the Federal
army. One morning when about 20
miles east Of the Wild Cat Mountains,
thew we're surprised to see = Gle Of ten
men. all sece,h. marching toward their
lines, and a woman marching in their
rear with mnsket in. her hands. On
coming within the Federal lines, she
cody gave them to the officer in COM
msnd as prisoners.
In accounting for their capture she
said that her husband had joined mil
i,ary company in the Federal service.
and had left her alone to take care Of
the house. which lay between the two
armies. Eleven rebels had come into
the house that morning and proceeded
to make themselves perfectly at home,
first killing all her chickens and setting
them to roast by the 6re. They then
proceeded to dispose Of the things
around the house, taking up the carpets
and constructing horse blankets out of
them. r,...
They next perpetrated other atroci-
ties ola destructive and objectionable
character, which had the effect of ma
king the lady of the house "furiOusly
Wild" as the Captain expressed it, and
she determined that such outrageous
conduct should not go unpunished.--
She accordingly carried away their
muskets to a place Of safety, reserving
two for her own use. and then going to
the room in which they were regaling
themselves on her defunct chickens, she
informed them that they were her pris-
oners. One OF them jumped up TO
seize her, when she leveled her gun
at him and fired, causing him to bite
the dust, which lay thick on the carpet
less floor. Throwing away the now
useless gun. she took the other in her
hand and ordered the remaining ten
rebels to march toward the Union
camp. threatening to shoot the first who
attempted to run away. Having
wholesome fear of sharing a similar
fate to that OF their companion, they
went quietly along, and were accord.
ingly handed over 10 the military au-
thorities. On being laughed at for
being taken prisoners by a woman.
they said they had been wanting to get
captured for some time past. and were
heartily glad they were prisoners at
last. They were entirely sick of the
war, they said. and did not care how
soon that they got out Of it,

~We are informed that several par
ties in town have taken ont licenses as
claim agents, in order to purchase Quar-
termaster's certificates. Such license is
entirely unnecessary, and they may as
well save their money. The law rela-
tive to claim agents reads as follows:
Claim agents and agents for procur-
ing patents. shall pay ten dollars for
each license. Every person whose bu-
siness it is TO prosecute claims in any of
the executive departments Of the Fede.
raj Government, or procure patents,
shall be deemed claim or patent agent,
as the case may be, snder this act.
If they are liable to pay any license
at all, it is under the following section,
which covers the buying of gold or sill
yer, demand notes. &c., 1t will be seen
that there is quite a difference in the
amount of license:
Brokers shall pay fifty dollars for
each license. Any person whose bu-
siness il is TO purchase or sell stock,
coined money, 6osk notes, or other Sc
curities for themselves or others, or who
deals in exchanges relating to money,
shall be regarded as brokers under this

R The Messrs. Henking have COM
menced packing pork, and during the
past week cut 362 head.
The high price of corn in this locality,
renders the farmers anxious to sIaugh-
ter as early as possible in order to save
their grain.
Prices of pork contrary TO the usual
rule, are considerably below the relative
value Of corn. When corn sells readily
at from 50@6o cents per bushel, four
cents per pound for pork is no specu-
latiOn. 1t is hardly probable that pri-
ces win rule any higher this season.
The scarcity ofcorn will throw upon the
market great quantity of pork, that in
ordinary seasons would ego over"
Those who are holding on for better
price, may be disappointed. Every
day diminishes the quantity of corn in
the crib. without putting a correspon-
ding increase in value on the pork. The
prices are one-fourth better than last
year. That is something gained at
least.

''Read your county paper, before

you to make it interesting? By giving
