DEsoRIrrIoS:-The Orphan Boy is beauti-
full dark dapple bay Horse, full sixteen hands
high, and has immense power and bone.
Persons wishing to raise fine Horses need
only see the colts he leaves behind him in Vir-
ginia, to assure themselves that he is the very
best Horse from which to breed for the turf or
the road, and his large size and splendid style
and action, makes him superior to any stall
lion in this neighborhood from which to breed
carriage Horses.
PEDIeREE:-The Orphan Boy was sired by
the celebrated race Horse Glencoe, dam by
Leviathan, out of Msgdalan by Medoc. For
Pedigree, see Turf Register.
This Horse has taken the first premium at
every fair in Greenbrier and Monroe counties
in Virginia, since he was two years old.
Persons sending Mares from a distance can
be accommodated with pasture on reasonable
terms.

Who NAV Frank.

There would seem to DO a ddterm ination
on the part of q class of correspondents not
to understand the requirements OF the pos
tai act of last March, respecting tho frank
ing privilege and the fomrs to be observed
in addressing matter entitled by law to pass
free in the mails:
FIRsT.--No private citizen, high or low.
can send lotter or document Ot any kind
or any other thing. to any officer or public
man at Washington or elsewhere, (excepting
TO members of the United States Senate
and House of Representatives. without pre-
paying the tull postage thereon. whether
such matter is upon official business or 9th
erwise. He must prepay letters to the
| President of tho United States, his Cabinet
officers, and oil others in public stations,
with tho above exceptions. The frankng
privilege of members of Congress has not
been materially changed, and covers all cor.
respoEdonce to and from them as heretofore.
SECoND.-Ail persons employed IN the
government. service may SEND Official letters
free to the department at Washington with
which thev are officially connected, and to
no other department. provided they write or
prin. the words "oflicial business" on the
| envelope of the letter, and also sign their
name and official designation thereto. II
these words or signatures, or other OF them
be omitted. such letter must be sent to the
Dead Letter Office, which, We regret to say
happens daily in all large. post-otiices. Some
OF these unlucky missives and psroies are
addressed to President Lincoln, the Secro
tary of the Navy. Secretary Of War. Adju
tant General. Quartermastor General snC
other high officials. No doubt some of hen
are written by private citizens, (who. it has
IL. - Rx,Nh htsRs
they mall,) and others by public officere
who, from ignorance Of tho law or careless
ness, do not comply with tho prescribed
modes of franking, or fail to confine thei
use of the frank to their own departments
| An officer of the army, for instance, canno
send free to the Navy Department, no
can postmaster frank to the Treasur
Department.

Shrewdness Of the Slaves-A sharp
Old Darkey.

A New Orleans correspondent OF the
New York Daily Times writes as follows:
1t strikes me that no one has properly
noticed how well The slaves iu the South
have maintained their difficult position.

they have iG no instance called upon their
heads tie indignation Of their m asters by

outbreak. Whenever our forces have af-
torded hem an opportunity 10 break their
bonds they have borne il promptly and ef-
hciently, but they have, with rsie pru-
dence, not involved themselves in difficult
ties which would be fruitful Of substantial

their part, it seems TO me. exhibits large

The Boston Organ.

The following statistics will give some
idea of tho di menson of tho great Boston
organ, about which there is so much "blow."
The largest wind pipes are thirty.two feet
in length, and so wide that man can crawl
through them while the smallest tubes are
as small as a baby's whistle. 1t contains
several distinct systems OF pipes capable OF
being played alone or in connection with
one another. with four manuals of key
boards. The absolute power and compass
of the instrument rank it among the tour
greatest of the kind ever built. The wood
of which Il is constructed is black walnut
covered with carved figures in relief. A
richly orpamented central arch contains the
key boards and stops, and the pcdmenl
above is surmoun,ed by bust of Johann
Sebastian Bach. Behind this rises the lofty
central division containing pipes and

The Rev. Herry Ward Beecher, wri-

We understand that great many papers
on the way to the soldiers do not reach
their destination because the postage is not
prepaid, and they cannot prepay postaga
on papers to which they subscribe in II ma
jority of instances, because of their constant
papers they can procure are those fur
nished by news dealers. and that at high
price. For general news these may answer
their purposes But each soldier, besides
this, desires to hear from home-and wishes
to see his local paper. And This he may
have regularly, if the friends and aoqaain-
