The Packing of Soldiers Packages.

A writer in the National Intelligencer says
that he witnessed the opening of boxes at the
rooms of the Sanitary Commission in that city
and some bottles having been packed in hay
were badly broken. Another box containing
IA quarts of eurrant jelly had but four in it
which were not broken or empty; the cloth
coverings having been shaken off.
The writer says all glass should be packed
with sawdust or bran, marked ''glass" and
"this side up" European travellers have often
spoken of the rough and hurried manner in
which baggage ofall kinds is handled at our
railroad stations, and we hope expresses and
railroad employees will at last learn TO take
some care at least of the soldiers packages.
The long distance that packages from Maine
have to travel to reach our soldiers, makes
great care in packing and handling necessary.

Vallandigham Indignation Meeting.

ALBANY, May 10.
The meeting to protest against the arbitrary
arrest and sentence of Clement l.. Vaandig-
ham at the Capitol tonight was largely at
tended. Strong speeches were made by Hon.
Amasa J. Parker. Hon. Francis Herman, John
Murphy, Esq, of Buffalo, and Others Reso-
lutions were passed denouncing the arrest of
Valandgham as an unwarrautable assump-
ton of military power A letter was then read
from Gov. Seymour, characterizing the arrest
of Vallandigham as an act which has brought
dIshonor upon our country, which is full of
danger TO our persons and our homes, and
which bears upon its front conscious violation
OF law and justice. An attempt was made to
disturb the meeting, but it failed, and the po-
lice succeeded in making several arrests of the
guilty parties.
Another Dispotch.-There was some dis
turbance at the Vallandigham indignation
meeting tonight. During the day feeling of
opposition to the object of the meeting among
some of the returned soldiers was clearly
manifested, and soon after the organization of
the meeting this evening evidences of dissat-
isfaction were shown among the soldiers pres
ent. The speakers were interrupted by their
noisy demonstrations, and finally they made a
rush for the stage. Great excitement pre-
vailed for a short time, and the proceedings
were brought to a stand still. The chairs on
the stage were broken to pieces and thrown
INTO the crowd, aud for few minutes it
seemed as II the soldiers would gain possess
sion OF the stage and drive the civilians Off
The soldiers were III small force however and
finally retired, when order was once more re-
stored, and the proceedings resumed although
not without occasional interruption. Event
ually quiet was fully restored and the meeting
was carried on peacefully.

NEW YORK, May l6.


The 35th section of the Act of Congress
approved March 3, 1868, amending the internal
revenue act of July l, 1862, provides that in
New York and such other ports as the Secre-
tary or Treasurer may designate, there shall
be connected with each Custom House, a
bureau to have charge especially of all draw
backs, the supervision of all exports entitled
to a remission OF duties and also of internal
taxes on manufactures exported, that have
paid the tax.
We learn that the Secretary of the Treasury
on the recommendation of the Collectors of
Customs and of Internal Revenue has desig-
mated Portland as one Of the seaports where
such bureau is to be established, and has APP
pointed Mr.. David Moulton, formerly of the
firm of Dodge, Webb & Moulton) to have
charge of that department here, with the au-
thority and emoluments of Deputy Collector
as the act provides.
Mr.. Moulton enters upon the duties of his
Office to-day, and all parties desiring TO avail
themselves of drawbacks, either on goods i'm
ported, or on American manufactures, will
make application at his desk at the Custom
House 1t will be necessary to notify him
before the goods are carried on shipboard that
their lading may be verified by the proper Gus
tom officer; and this will in future be strictly
enforced.
