Postmaster General and our
Subscribers.

SuDSCTlDcGA
Some weeks ago, we gave state
pent in regard to the delivery OF
the DEMOCRAT to our subscribers who
wished to get their papers at the Post
Office, in McAlthur. We also pub.
lished the statement Of Mr.. McLAUGH.
LIN. We sent our papers TO the L. M.
General, and also "a request to answer,
by q construction OF the law of Con.
gross, March 81, 1851, which reads
as follows:
Sec. Q. And be It further enacted. That all
newspapers not exceeding three ounces in
weight, 80 t from the office OF publication to
actual and bona hds subscribers, shall be char
god with postage US follows, to-wit: All
newspapers published weekly Onl ly, shall circu-
late In the mail free of postage within the
county where published"
The act then goes on and fixes rates
for all sent outside of the county.
Now, our paper is under three oun.
ces, aud as this act says all newspa.
pers-we suppose ours wGs one OF the
"all newspapers''-and as it went to
Subscribers from the office of publ.
cation" thus being by the law mail.

SAYS, "all newspapers shall circulate
in the county lree," we supposed no
man would dare so far miscontrue and
pervert the only meaning that can be
put on the english language used in
tho act referred to, hut it seems we
were mistaken. The Postmaster
General refers this matter to an AS
sistant Postmaster General, who
writes us through Hon. Q. L. VAL.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS AT AN END
ADMINISTRATIONS MEMBERS WITH
DRAW FROM THE HOUSE.
| INDIANAPOLIS, February 27, 1868
"rhe withdrawal OF tho Union
members otthe House, on ednesGay
has, perhaps, put an end to further
legislation this session But two 0!
the minority were in tho hail this
morning, and none at all this after,
noon. All have gone home. TIE
cause was the attempt to pass the un
constitutional measure to strip the
Governor OF ala military power.
"Tho Senate has quorum, and be.
sides passing bills TO day, adopte,!
resolutions declaring that all Senators
whose seats had been contested were
entitled to hold them, except Murry
Of EIkhart, who was to day denounced
by. Mellett, for having deserted his
party that he might keep his seat"
Thus it consumated a dareing and
audacious act Of revolution in the
Government OF Indiana, which has
been threatened by the Abolition
members ever since the beginning Vi
the session. They are unwilling to
suOmit to the will Of the majority,
and fly into revolution to prevent it.
Look at the miserable pretext OF this
performance. A law was pending
creating, for certain purposes, Mill.
tary Board; to act in conjunction with
the Governor, in the organization and
discipline Of the militia. 1t is drnoun.
ced as constitutional Ii 80, it
would be void, and the Courts would
set il aside.
The iii sht Of the Abolition mem.

lation from their dutier, is "onvlncing
evidence that they regarded it as con-
stitutiouai, else they would have trust

course Of the Democrats in Congress
They know that the Oonscription III.
Iitia Act Just passed, which takes hot
orly from Governor Morton. but from
all the Governors OF States, the mill
tay power, is unconstitutional and
vold. IN tho hands OF the Courts and
State Executive they leave it. They
made no lactiOus opposition to its
passage. Democracy is loya and con
SlitutIunal i'll its action. Aboition'
ism is disIoyal, violent aud revolution
ary. The act "a Congress, passed by
his own party, strips Governor Nor
ton Of all power over the militia OF his
State, and yet lie and his friends SUP
port it. This movement in Indiana
drives the last nail in the coffin OF Alb
olitiOnism in that State. as party

An Invocation to Spring

Come quickly. O, thou Spring!
Write loves fair alphabet upon the sod
In many colored fOwers-tO preach of God,
Our everlasting King
Come from the rosy south,
In chariot of incense and flight,
Dissolve the lingering SHOWS that glisten white
Beneath thy fragrant mouth.
Walk softly DER the earth,
Thou blessed spirit of the Eden-time;
Thy breath is like an incense-laden cline,
Clasping rich bowers of mirth.
Thy virgin-herald's here
The snow-drop bares her bosom to the gale,
While down her cheek, so delicately pale,
Trickles crystal tear.
The lark now scars above,
As if he felt his freedom on his wings,
While from his heaven-attuned throat there
A charming peal of love. rings
The yet unbearded wheat
Now timidly puts forth its tender leaf,
To drink sweet dews, for Winter, ancient chief,
Crawls off with tottering feet.
Your sorrows now inter,
Ye dwellers of dark cities; Spring is nigh;
She bathes her garments in sunset sky,
And treads the halls Of Myrrh.
To God an anthem sing,
When forth We hurry to the fields of bloom;
He lights the flowers, and lifts us from the tomb
To everlasting Spring!

Your sweet note of the 18th of last

was written. Here follow some details
of business with names, which we suppress.
1 wish I could tell you many things, but
they must be reserved. Of one thing my
special friend--[Here she again lapses into
the mysterious third person singular. +
may rest assured, and that is that he is as
fondly remembered as ever. Though we
may not meet for many weary months, he
is still fast in my heart-the dearest, the
best, the most fondly loved. He occupies
that place no other can occupy, He is
ever in my ghts-morning, noon and
night. Always remembered in my prayers
though he does not stand in need of
such poor prayers as mine. Say sweet
things to him for me-a thousand fond
messages. All that the fondest heart
could dictate would say to him. [Again
she adopts the second person singular.
Let me hear from you as soon as you can.
Your letters are always cheering. Re-
member me to the sisters. Mas health is
very bad She returns many thanks for
the picture. Messages without number for
my darling, and the kindest wishes. May

NO MORE.

The autumn sky was rich with stars,
The earth with colors rare,
Which drafted through the trellised bars
On pulses of the air.
All night the trees had heard our talk,
The birds, the flowers, the stream;
All night I walked, or seemed to walk.
Gigantic in dream.
The broken moon lay wrecked and torn,
Within cloudy sea;
The red-eyed monitors of morn
Trailed DER the starry lea.
The snail had slimed the crimson rose
Sweet things for touch so cold
The lilly-fairest flower that blows
Had shut her cup OF gold.
All night upon the nodding flowers
The silver stars looked down;
4 faint, pale light inclosed the towers
That sleep above the town.
For her. whose converse was so sweet,
1t fell like silver dew;
The grass was trembling at our feet,
The stars cleaned heavens blue.
My heart looks back through faded years,
Lost lost, its fervid theme,
The passion Ofthe past appears
The fever Of dream.
No mist conceals that dim delight
Whose memory is cline;
The dream has vanished with the night
The starless night of Time.

We received yesterday the contents Of
a rebel mail bag, intercepted short time
since in the neighborhood of the Black
water. Most of the letters are addressed
to persons residing in Norfolk, Ports
mouth and Suffolk The contents of some
of them are important, as revealing ap-
preaching movements of the rebels in that
region; and all of them are more or less
interesting, as will be seen by the follow
ing resume of the correspondence -
MOVEMENTS ON THE BLACKwATER
Here is a twelve page letter to wife,
dated from Scamp near Petersburg,
March, 26, 1861" written on soft, fuzzy
note paper, with the mark of a factory in
North Carolina, and opening with the
tender appellation of "My own dear
Pussie." The writer is in the Ninth Vir-
ginia volunteers, Armstead's brigade, Pick
ett's division. 1t deplores the separation
of two such loving hearts, and confesses
that the writer sees nothing but dark
future. In his last he had but little hopes;
but since then darker clouds had arisen,
and now he could not see the least spark
of hope. Nevertheless, he says, the boys
are generally in fine spirits, and never en-
joyed better health. They would all shout
for joy if they got an order to get ready
to march for Norfolk or thereabouts. A
postscript, written day or two after
wards, says that orders had just come to
leave; but he knew not where they were
going. A day or two afterwards they are
on the march, hoping never to stop till
they get into Portsmouth.
Another letter from the rebel camp on
the Blackwater, dated con the train,
April Z, 1885," says: We are stationed
now on the Blackwater, and hope that
ere long we shall cross it in the direction

HEADQUARTERS 18th REGT. Mich VOL,
Camp Near Danvlle. KY, Jan. l4th, 1868.
FRIEND CAMPBELL-DEAR SIR -
Five months have passed since Com
pany A, of this Regiment, went into
camp at your place, and it may be sat
isfactory to some to know of the pres
emit state of the men.
The company are now in very good
health, and in the best Of spirits, with
no apparent dissatisfaction of admins
tration in the Regiment. We have
been called on to follow three of our
men to their last homes. Albert Baker,
and Thomas Potter, who died of meas.
les, and VIM. G.. Wickham, one of our
noblest men. He had been sick with
Typhoid Fever and Diarrhea and the
Erysipelas set in aud carried him off.
There has been four promotions in
non-commissioncd officers. Five men
have been detailed and pnt into our
Battery of Mountain Howitzers. Two
men on extra duty at Division Head
quarters. Three in Quarter Masters
Department, extra duty, and four men
on extra duty at Regimental Head
quarters. Six were left at Cincinnati
sick, but are now well and will soon re-
join our company. Albert Cobb and
"A. d. Stocking are recovering from the
Typhoid Fever. The balance of the
company are well and able to eat their
rations, as you would believe it you
could see them. There is not man in
the company that has not increased in
flesh since We came to Kentucky.
Some of them have gained 25 to 80
pounds in two months. Our winter has
been more like a pleasant October at
home than any thing else. We hear
the chirp of many birds that are sum.
mer birds with us at home. Had it not
been for the measles our company
would have shown very light repor,
of sick.
We have had but little to do here, ex
cept one movement to cut of Morgan's
retreat and preparation for one other
dash. Nothing has been done that
looks like fighting to me. We are now
evidently in the midst of volcano bu,
the force now in Kentucky is too heav,
