Postage Stamp Circular.

The following circular has been issued by
the post Office department =
Posi- OFFICE DEPARTMENT., FINANCE Or
FICE, WASHINGTON, Sept 80, lSG2.-SIR: -
The recent demand by the public for postage
stamps, under an erroneous impression with
regard to the law authorizing the issue of
postage currency" has entirely exhausted
the surplus stock, and the department is now
| dependent upon the daily manufacture to
meet the acquisitions Of postmasters. Sales
OF stamps must therefore be restricted to such
as may be needed by the public for prepay
ment of postage, the ordinary demand at any
office being the guide.
And inasmuch as the unadvised use of DOS
tage stamps a circulating medium has soil
ed or detaced them in greater or less degree
and evil persons, taking advantage of that cir
cumstance, have put into circulation 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 covered with
a stamp at all soiled or defaced, or which has
apparently been used in payment of postage
ouch letters Will be sent at once to the dead
letter office. This department has repeatedly.
by special letters and official announcement,
declared its opposition to the sale and use of
postage stamps for currency, foreseeing the
results of such course on the part of the
public. Respectfully yours,
(Signed) A. N ZEvELY,
Third Asst Postmaster General.
Particular attention is called to the above
circular, as the instructions therein given are
imperative on postmasters, and must be
obeyed. j. M. EARLE. Postmaster.

1t is stated that the disloyal Major Key, re-
Gently dismissed from the service, was an ac-
tive member of that political clique of regular
army officers, which has aimed to prevent a
vigorous war against the rebels. The num-
Der Of these men in the army, not at any time
very large, perhaps, is smaller now than it
was when the war began; but they have had
considerable influence and are still busy with
their plans for saving the southern conspira-
tors from destruction. According to this
Major Key, who has oficiated as aid to Gen.
Haleck, their favorite plan has been to make
the war as slow and ineffective as possible, so
as to exhaust the means and endurance of the
loyal states, and thus compel them to an ig-
nOminous submission to the traitors. The
following is the reported account Of the cir
eumstances that led to Keys dismission from
the service -
"Major John Key, additional aid-de-camp
in the United States service, was dismissed
to-day under the following circumstances
An officer had reported that Major Key in re-
ply to the question why Mcclellan did not
move on the rebels and crush them on the day
following the great battle Of Antetam said.
"Bccause it was not the programme. The
programme is to prolong the war until the
next presidential election, and then settle il
with the rebels on the old democratic prin-
ciples," The president summoned before him
the officer who reported the language; also
Major Key The former adhered to the sto-

THE NELSON-DAVIS AFFAIR.
Particulars of the ARRAY.

[From the Cincinnati Enquirer Sept 3Ol
This city was yesterday morning startled at
the Geographic announcement that Major Gen
eral VIM. Nelson had been shot and killed by
Brigadier General Jefferson C. Davis of In
diana. The brief dispatches of the ARRAY
gave rise to much speculation as 10 the origin
and cause of the affray, and as the day wore
away the anxiety increased to learn the par
ticulars. In order that the reader may be full
ly acquainted with all the facts, we will give
them from the very first acquaintance of Gen.
Davis with Gen. Nelson.
When the alarm was raised in Louisville
that the enemy were marching on that CITY,
zen. Davis, who could not reach his command
under Gen. Buell., then at Bowling Green,
went to Gen. Nelson and rendered his seryi-
ces. Gen. Nelson gave him the command of
the city militia so soon as they were organ
lzed. Gen. Davis opened an office and went
to work in assisting in the organization. On
wednesday last Gen. Davis called upon Gen.
Nelson in his room at the Gait House, in
Louisville, when the following took place =
General Dayis-I have the brigade, Gen
eral, you assigned me ready for service, and
have called to inquire if l can obtain arms for
them.
General Nelson-How many men hsve
you?
Davis-About twenty-five hundred men,
General
Nelson (roughly and angrily)-About twen-
ty-fiye hundredl about twenty. five hundred!
by God! You regular officer, and come
here to me and report about the number of
men in your command God damn you, didn't
you know, sir, you should furnish me the ex-
act number?
Dayis-General, didn't expect to get the
guns now, and only wanted to learn if could
get them, and where, and having learned the
exact number needed, would then draw them.
Nelson (pacing the room in rage -About
two thousand five hundred. By God, sus-
! pend you from your command, and order YOU
to report to Gen. Wright, and I've damned
mind put you under arrest. Leave my room,
sir.
Davis-I will not leave, General, until You
! give me an order.
Nelson-The he'll you won't! BY God, III
put you under arrest and send you out Of the
city under provost guard. Leave my room,
! sir.
! Gen Davis left the room, and, in order To
AVOID an arrest, crossed over the river to JET
tersonyille, where he remained until the next
day, when he was joined by Gen. Burbridge,

FRIDAY, OCT. q, 1863.

The official announcement of the number OF
troops required of each town and city in the
state has been made. We publish to-day the
list showing the quota of each town IN this
county. Clinton, West Brookheld, and
Winchendon, have already furnished sur
plus Nearly one hundred more are required
in Worcester, and as time is allowed for Sc
curing the requisite number by enlistment,
vigorous measures will doubtless be taken for
this purpose by the citizens generally, as well
as by the municipal authorities. And those
liable to draft will remember that no bounty or
other extra aid is provided for drafted men.
Several of the towns that now have enlisted
men in camp here, are required to furnish
more. few more will be required of Oak
ham, Shrewsbury, Sturbridge, we learn, and
also of several other towns. The companies
now in camp have room for a few more men,
and those who enlist will do well to secure
places in them as soon as possible.

The FIFTH DIsTRIcT.-The republican con-
vention in the new fifth congressional district
was held at Salem, Thursday, and resulted in
the denomination of Hon JOHN b. ALLEY by
a nearly unanimous vote. There were con-
testing delegates present from Lynn,-the
opponents of Mr.. Alley having branched of
from the regularly called caucus, and chosen
an independent list. The regularly appointed
delegates were admitted, which ended the con-
test. On the first ballot Mr.. Alley received
1913 ont of 1874 votes. and was the successful
candidate. His district is one of the most de.
cided republican districts in the state, leaving
no doubt of his election.

ry. The latter acknowledged having made
the remark, and proceeded to Justify it, but
failing to convince the president, he was dis
missed from the service.
He was dismissed on account of his treas
sonable sympathy with the rebel leaders, and
because his statement was deemed an afro
cious libel on Gen.. Mcclellan. There is no
room to doubt that he reports correctly the
views of that rebel-fayoring fraternity of army
officers with which he was connected. This
Key was one of the "good fellows" of the
clique; and with little more caution, he
might have escaped detection, won the conf
dence of Gen. Halleck, and found many OPP
portunities to serve the disloyal conspiracy to
which he belonged. 1t is well that he has
been made comparatively harmless, and it
would be better if all other army officers Of
that kind could be stricken from the roll.
We still have too many of them for the good
of the country.
