Importnnt Postal Notice.

There would seem to be determination
on the part of q class of correspondents not
to understand tho requirements of the pos
tAl act of last March respecting the frank
Ing privilege aud the forms to be observed
in addressing matter entitled by law to
pass free in the mails.
FrSt-No private citizen, high or low,
can send u letter or document OF any kind,
or any other thing, to any officer or public
t4an at Washington or elsewhere Except
ing to members of the United States Sen
ate and House OF Representatives, the Sc.
cretary of the Senate and the Clerk Of the
House OF Representatives. without pre-
paying the full postage thereon, whether
such matter is upon official business or
otherwise. He must prepay to the Presi-
dent OF the United States, his Cabinet OIL
GERS and all others in public stations with
the above exceptions. The Thanking privi-
lege of members of Congress has not been
materially changed, and covers all cores
pondence to and from them rs heretofore.
SecOnG-All persons employed in the
government service may send official let
tiers free to the department at Washington
with which they are officially connected,
and to no other department, provided they
write or print the words "official business"
on the envelope of the letter, and also sign
their name or official designation thereto.
If these words and signatures, or either of
them, be omitted, such letters must be sent
to the Dead Letter Office, which, we regret
to say, happens daily in all large post
Offices. Some of these uulucky missives
aud parcels are addressed to President
Lincoln, the Secretary of the Navy, Secre-
tary of War. Adjutant General, Quarter
master General and other high officials
No doubt some of them are written by
private citizens (who, it has already been
shown, must prepay everything they maiI)
and others by public officers, who, from
ignorance of the law or carelessness, do
not comply with the, prescribed modes Of
Thanking, or fail to contine their use of the
frank to their own departments. An officer
of the army, for instance. cannot send tree
to the Navy Department, nor postmaster
to the Treasury Department.

Captains Sawyer and Flynn.

A young officer recently released from
the Libby prison in Richmond, furnishes
the following information in relation to
Captains Sawyer and Flynn, who were
condemned to death by JEFF. Davis:
Captains Sawyer and Flynn, 1t will be
remembered, have been condemned to
death in retaliation for the execution by
General Burnsids of two Rebel officers
caught recruiting within his lines. The
Richmond mob demanded the death OF
these brave sad fTsS5oTic mon, but tho aus
thorities were deferred by the threatened
fate of Winder and Lee, held by us at For
tress Monroe. Captains Sawyer and Flynn
are confined in sort of cage or bin petit
toned of from the cellar of the building.
Measured by the eye, it appeared not larger
than six feet by eight. The only light aud
air are admitted through hole near the
ceiling, about foot square, through which
also the food is passed down twice day.
This den is damp, dark and most shocking
" filthy; and the unfortunate victims Of
Rebel hatred are enduring within it liv-
ing death from day 70 day. The plan seems
to be, since their cOwardly tormentors dare
not shoot or hang them, to torture their
lives away by this long agony, and then re-
port them as having died Of sickness.

A CARD.
To the voter. Of The Second Congregational
DistEiet:

To the voters Of the Second Congregational
DistTiet:
present myself as a candidate for cleo
ton to Congress from the Second Congress
sioual District, subject to the decision OF
the Union convention to be held in Graf.
ton on the first day of October.
Ny views of public policy may be sum-
marty stated. I believe that the para
mount duty of the governments NJ the pres-
eat time, Is TO provide every nsuessary
measure for snbduing the rebels in arms, in
Order to again extend the authority of the
Federal laws over the revolted States. OF
course, therefore, believe that this end
can be attained only by an earnest, de-
termined and judicious prosecution of the
war.
In regard to the policy of the present
Administration, Grankness requires me TO
express my opinion. In the main, ap-
prove OF that policy. 1t has been honest,
patriotic and wise. That part of it per-
tanning to the emancipation of slaves own
ed by rebels, receives my special sanction.
AS a war measure, it is lawful and judici-
Gus, and Il has contributed immensely TO
the success of the Union cause. Since the
adoption Of this measure by the President
our arms have been attended with almost
continuous victories, until now the very
crisis of the war seems TO be upon Us with
every probability of our early and ultimate
success.
An Administration which, in times like
these, has conducted public affairs so hon
estly and ably, and with such favorable
results, deserves and should receive the
cordial support of every true patriot.
In regard to the interests OF the new
State ! scarcely need to speak. My rec
ord is before the people. have shown
my faith by my works. Second only to
the welfare of the American Union l re-
gard the welfare of West Virginia; for my
vital interests as an individual are depen-
dent upon her prosperity.
Although now temporarily absent from
the district expect to be back in time to
engage in the coming canvass in favor of
the Union candidate, whoever may be Sc.
lected as such by the Convention. My
citizenship in the district l have never
once thought of relinquishiug.

The New state Seals,

We notice that the new State Seals have
arrived. The designs of both are highly
appropriate. Mr.. ]. q. Diss Debar, of Dodd-
ridge county, the late contestant of Mr..
Bees seat 10 the Legislature, is the design
or. The larger Seal of the Commonwealth
represents pioneer stauuIug ON Uuu stlu
Of q rock, axe 10 hand, . stalk Of Indian
corn growing little TO his right, while =
sheaf of whsaC-rss ct his feet. On the
other side of the rock Is = miner, with his
pick on his shoulder, an anvil and hammer
to his left, with his right arm leaning upon
the rock between him aud the pioneer, and
on the face of the rock are the words
'Juue goth, 1862" the day on which West
Virginia became State in the Union
Around the upper inside Of the perimeter
of the Seal are the words estate of West
Virginia, "and around the lower inside the
words ".Hontani StmPer Hber." signifying
that mountaineers are always freemen.
The Lesser Seal has around its inside
border beautiful wreath. Just under
the upper arc of the border are the words
Liberia, fdeItate," signifying that lib
erty proceeds from loyalty. Underneath
these words are the rays of the rising sun
shooting their beams resplendently upward
over a mountain vista. On the earth be-
low are seen a range of hills aud at their
base a train of cars passing over some
trestIe work Near by is furnace, the
smoke rising up from its tall stack. Close
to the furnace is seen an oil we'll with all
its buildings, while further out some fat,
sleek cattle and sheep repose very con-
tentedly.
We like the design aud execution of the
Seals very much. They look like the rep.
resentatives of healthy public sentiment
and promising and vigorous municipal
organism. Mr. Dsbar has diplayed nice
conception of the prOprieties of our situa.
ton in his design.

THE Canadians are in "n peck Of truble."
They are afraid of experiencing the fate
described in modern parlance as "being

sion is not confined to darcy McGee.-
Let US hope that there are not many fools

plan for conquering the provinces. But
a good many Canadians are listening with
solicitude to the hot discussions between
the English and our cOuutrymen respect.
ing the outfit of rebel rams in English
shipyards, and are asking anxiously wheth-
er there is not probability of war, and il
there is, whether Canada would not be
almost absolutely at our mercy. Hence
warm talk about increase of the colon
ial militia, mingled with some oaths
at Englaad for not defending the provinces.
And 10 truth We must confess that it might
be one of our first duties, ia case Of war
With England, to throw an army of oecu-
patton across the frontier. Aud we ques-
ton whether the colonial militia would
prove a very serious obstacle. So as long
as the English continue their nefarious
work of constructing rebel rams, We advise
the Canadians to remain uneasy.
But another trouble now gricVes some Of

AS change Of time for holding the Con.

proper to say that we do not concur, for
the only reason that the soldiers are al

in their ballots, and a postponement would
