NoTIcE.-After having for many years printed
the lists Of letters remaining uncaled for In the
post Office Of this city, (under the law author
izlng their publication In the newspaper having
the largest circulation within the usual delivery
Of the ofhce,) the proprietor Of the Star has al
length felt compelled to decline their further
insertion, because OF the great space they have
come to occupy, and Of the fact that for months
past he has been forced to lay over on each
occasion, when printing the lists, advertisements
the insertion Of which would have paid at least
double az much an tie law allowed him for the
letter list.
In addition to this positive pecuniarY loss BY
their insertion since those lists have come to be
~ large a. the New York city letter lists. they
have entirely-on the day on which they were
printed-defeated his purpose Of making the Star
always q ssrSPaPu-news being its well-known
speciality.

IL The New York papers In general are very
severe upon Major Gen. Hunter, for his abolition
proclamation. The World conservative Repub-
lican) thinks It the most extraordinary document
issued during the war, and doubt is intimsted
whether the President has sanctioned IT, The
Times (Republicsn) thinks Gen. Hunters reason
ing will probably satisfy Phillips, Garrison, ana
those who, with them, regard the destruction OF
slavery al the only end TO be accomplished by
this war. "But (the editor sdds) unfortunately
IL Is not likely TO satisfy anybody else.n The
JOErnaI Of Commerce (0emocrat) SAYS Gas we
do not believe that Gen. Hunter is yet insane we
doubt the genuineness Of the document The
Express (Whlg) denounces itas "a usurpstion Of
power, violation Of law, and an open interfer-
ence with the Constitution" The fribnss per
contra, 10 delighted with IL, and thinks Il dgoes
right between the eyes.n fhe Posi-, too, approves
Of the proclaim ltion, but the Commercial thinks
II lnjudicious and untimely.

ing an opportunity to make a raise, overlook him,

leisufely al ked bsck TO the money room, where,
after he had waited for some time, he found that
the sharper was an impOster, and instead Of having
entered the rsom he had made his way through

This 10 the second victim Of the confidence game
