p. O, Notice.

The following is the section of the
new postal law requiring prepayment OF
all mail matter delivered at any post
office.
4" Sec. 3. And be 1T further enacted,
That no mail matter shall be delivered
by the postmaster until the postage due
thereon shall have been paid; and no
box at any post office shall be assigned
to the use of any person until the rent
therefor has been paid for at least one
quarter, for which the postmaster shall
give receipt, and keep a record thereof
in his Office, which record shall be deliv-
cred to his successor"
The practice of giving credit for items
of postage, and putting tickets in boxes
therefor, is discontinued. Tickets ac-
cumulate, and fall out of the boxes, and
box-holders are dissatisfied sometimes
on account of hostages that they cannot
account for There is only one correct
and satisfactory way to pursue, and that
is to collect on deltUery as14f-t
Persons coming to the Post Office will
therefore bring change along with them
and pay their postage as it accrues.

nrsIaYAHY AT A PREMIUM.

Ed51ors Evansville journal;
The object of Agricultural and Me-
,!hanical Associations, whether they hold .
Fairs or not, is, in my opinion to en- /
courage the Agricultural and hechanl-
cal interests Of the region in which such
associations are established, and know
they have done much good. These asso-
Citations should, if possible, use every
means to induce agriculturists and me-
chanics to exhibit specimens OF the
! growth of their farms, .dairys, gardens,
machine or work shops, DC.
I have had some experience IN sucn
associations, and always believed that
this course should be pursued. Even IN
printing tickets, posters, or other mat
1 ter, the printing Offices in the vicinity
ought to be solicited to show their spec
mems. provided e charge was reason
able.
Fer wears that was connected with
an association of the kind, | never sent
out of the district for any printed mat
| ter. urovided it could be done at home
offices. and had l sent from home to
have printing done, should have beer
sure that paper -sympathizlng Will
rebels was not issued from the same
press We ought not, in times like the
present, to encourage by patronage an.
press that, by articles published IN tn,
paper issued therefrom, invited sucl
men as John Morgan to make raid
in oar fair State, and hence destroy tina
which such institutions are aiming t
build up. lF
I feel sure that the loyal men of Pose
county would rather have had the poster
for their Fair written than that the Oft
GERS, chosen to superintend their exhib
5 tioa, should have used the association
, money to sustain such disloyal shee
as the Cincinnati Enquirer l am n
partisan, and / have never in times pas
shown any such feeling, in connectio
with the association with which ha
, the honor to be connected, but in thes
times we ought to discriminate betwee
e loyal and disioyal, and in this we mu
y be governed by what men say and d
9 / Birds of feather flock together, an
men who patronize such sheets as tt
Cincinnati Enquirer are not as clear fl
8 the Union as they ought to be. Patro
d ize home institutions, should be Il
ia motto of such associations.
l have always advocated the openir
e of exhibition lists to the world, but {
n not believe it right to offer or pay pr
ID niums for disloyalty. 81.

When Vallandigham arrived at Muir

him. Il wanted to see you said the
General-'I wanted to see you, Vallan-
digham, 20 see whether you had rascal's
face" Then changing the subject rather
abruptly---and bringing down the fore
finger of his right hand in that rapier-
like style which is conspicuous feature
of his gesticulation when he is in terrible

HEADQUARTERS ID BRIGADE LIST DIVISION, J
2Ist Army Corps, Dept of the Cumberland,
Pelham Tenn, Aug 4th, 1868.
Dear Fdther-I received your letter
of July 29th yesterday, and you may be-
lieve it was very acceptable, as l have
not heard from home for month. |
had been very low spirited for some ten
days, until | received your letter. Now
l feel like new person. You can't i'm
agine how much good it does one to
receive letter from home. s- '-
Our brigade is here, off by itself-no
other troops within five miles-which
makes it rather pleasant, although l
don't seezall my friends. We, however,
get the mail every day, and plenty of pa
pers; so we are not entirely out of the
world.
The mountains are all around us, and
we are in a cove where water is plenty.
Elk river is inside our picket lines. That
gives a good place to battle. There are
also springs all around US. Our camp
is on little rise of ground, and we have
little shower of rain almost every day;
just enough to keep the dust laid The
camp is an open piece of ground, but
the men have built beautiful arbors of
cedar, and it is the most beautiful sight
l ever saw | wish you could see the
camp. i would like to describe it, but
cannot do it on paper. ~.
a A great change has come over the
people since we came here three weeks
ago They were all rebels-now it is the
other way. The men are coming in vol
UNFAIRLY by hundreds and taking the
oath. Last Saturday the people of this
county held a Convention about three
miles from this camp, passed resolutions
to forward to the Governor at Nashville,
wishing to adopt some measures to bring
the State back to the old grRpqR re TO TO-
morrow to adopt measures to elect a
Representative to the State Government
at Nashville. No soldiers are allowed
by Gen. Wagner to be present at these
meetings-so the soldiers have had moth
ing to do with it whatever.
Tennessee is at the present time as
loyal as most any State in the Union.
Deserters from the rebel army are at
home, improving and repairing their
farms, and say they will die before ever
entering the rebel army again.
A battalion is being raised here by
one OF the citizens of this place, who
has Commission as Captain from the
Governor, Andy Johnson, for our army.
Yesterday he swore into the service So
men; to-day 81 Tomorrow there will
be some 40 or so come in to enlist. So
you can judge for yourself about Ten
nessee becoming loyal to the Federal
Government, and l hope it will not lie
long before other States will do like
wise.
We are having blackberries, buckle
berries, apples, peaches, green corn, &c
So we are not starving, and will not for

b@ The Vincennes Qnd.) Sun, (Cop-
perhead, says: @
Taking in view the late importan VIC
tories gained by our arms in all direc-
tions-the terrible blows recently struck
at the Confederate cause-we have hopes
awakened of a restoration of the Union,
if the rulers at Washington display that
enlightened craftsmanship which the ex-
igency requires. AS the Louisville DEM
ocrat forcibly says, we believe the opper-
tunity has arrived when the President of
the United States may contribute vastly
to the restoration of the country by de-
claring general amnesty to the people
in rebellion, Withholding the penalty
which now hang over their heads in ter
ror, upon the condition that they renew
their loyalty to the Federal Government
Both the Louisville Democrat and the
Vincennes Sun have asserted times with
out number, that the Administration was
imbecile, that its radieaIism yQ4ltd9 victories,
that the South was now unit for the re-
bellion, and that oil hope of restoring
the Union was gone Now they have
discovered that this is very vigorous
and successful Administration, and that
it has whipped the rebels so soundly that
it can have peace by saying the word.
We notice this inconsistency to show that
these Copperhead organs have convicted
themselves of uttering ignorant calum-
MES against the Administration MASK.

ALTERATION OF TREASURY NoTEs FROM
Twos TO FIFTIEs-Some expert coun-
terfeiters have, it seems, been beguiling
the languid hours of the summer season
by increasing their " balance on hand
in quite an ingenious manner, namely,
by changing two-dollar Treasury Notes
to fifties. The two UNCONVENTIONAL fig
ures CID on the lower left hand end of
the note are erased, also the small fig
ures (2) which appears along the top
margin. The substituted figures (50)
are plain and prominent, and being well
executed, are likely to deceive in hasty
moment.
The following is description Of the
Treasury notes according to their re-
spective currency value: ,-.
| Ones-Vignette, large oval portrait Of
Mr.. Chase on the left hand.
Twos-Vignette, large oval portrait o.
Mr.. Hamilton on the left hand, the fig
ure 2, large, on right and left hands or

them.

ing America on the left hand.

ter, oval portrait of Mr.. Lincoln on up
