P. O. Notice.

The following is the section of the
new postal law requiring prepayment of
all mail matter delivered at any post
office.
"Sec. 5. 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 itelas
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 delirery.
Persons coming to the Post Office will
therefore bring change along with them
and pay their postage as it occurs.

Great Union Picnic.

The patriotic citizens of Warrick and
Vanderburgh Counties propose having
a grand Union Picnic on the first Sat-
urday in September on the old Igleheart
farm, about fourteen miles distant from
our city. Extensive arrangements are
being made to secure a large attendance
and insure pleasant time. Eight mill
tary companies of home guards have al
ready signifed their intention to be
present; and we have no doubt that the
gathering, should the weather be propi-
tious, will exceed anything ever witnessed
in old Warrick.
Two or three splendid bands of music
are also expected to be- present, which,
with the excellent speeches that will be
made, cannot fail to prove entertaining,
Every man and his wife ought to make
arrangements to be there, for they will
undoubtedly find it good to be there :"
We hope, also, to see quite large dele
CATION go out from this city to partici pate
in the celebration. Let the patriots
counsel together, that they may be better
able to defeat the Vaccinations of those
who plot the destruction of their county.

and artillery.
Our citizens will, many of them, re-
member Lieut.. Wood as Major ofthe 18th

ment was encamped at the mines below

the position which he has been appointed
as he is one the most intrepid and cool
headed young officers of our acquain-
lance.
Of the most answering loyalty be
knows nothing but the rights and honor
of his country and desire to do his
whole duty, and we warn the Copper
heads, murderers, thieves and negro hut
burners of New York city, that if there
is occasion for Lieut.. "Og." Wood to use
( his vocation to suppress a mob in New
York city, that he will take Napoleon
action in the streets of Paris as his mod
el, and will make their destruction as
much more terrible as the ordnance Of
the present day is superior to that of the
18th century. We are glad to see the
preferment of our old friend Wood in
this instance

M= Chaplain Cook, of the 4Sth Indi-
ana, died on the I'd inst, at his house,
near Terre Ha1te From letter in re-
lation to the event we condense the fol-
lowing ffcts: Rev. Mr. Cook, and three
out ef four sons, volunteered in their
co1ntrys service, leaving only the young
est at home to care for the mother and
sisters. The sons went as privates, and
the father as subordinate company otfi-
Ger. A vacancy occurred in the Chap
laincy, and Mr.. G. was, on the hearty
recommendation of the regiment, COM
missioned to discharge the duties of the
office, which he did faithfully and we'll
to the end In the late desperate battle
at Helena, the division to which he be-
longed being greatly outnumbered by the
enemy, he took a musket and entered
the ranks, where he fought bravely until
the enemy was put to flight But the
exertion was too great for his strength,
which had been weakened by typhoid
4 fever, and suffering a relapse, he had
but time to reach home and die. His
funeral was attended by large number
of friends and a company of home
guards. The discourse by Rev. 6. NJ
Boyd, was encouraging to the loyal but
whitening to the disloyal
Mr.. c. was a good man, good soldier
and a good officer, who lived and died a
his post. One of the three sons fell a

longing to the S4th Indiana Regiment.
came yesterday morning to report for
duty. He was told to wait till this morn

walked around the city, and soon found
himself in a bowling alley, where he en-
gagged in game of billiards with the
proprietor, for drinks. After a game he
ordered brandy and sugar, which was
brought from a neighboring saloon He
drank aud Immediately became sick.
He went to the California House, but was
refused admittance, and was taken to the

sicians were called who administered an
emetic and relieved his stomach. He lay
all the afternoon on the common, with

a house. This is a strong case against
somebody, and we are glad to learn that
the matter will be fully investigated

Our rert oftac State mas been SO pro-
life Of soldiers that there is danger
We may not receive proper credit fer ali
that we have enlisted. Our people
should see to it that'the Provost Marshal
Is furnished with the name of every man
who has volunteered, that his county and
township may receive the proper
credit in fixing the humber to be drafted
from them. The following decision of
the Provost Marshal General will show the
necessity Of acting On our suggestion;
The Provost Marshal General hos
written a letter to Governor Andrew of
Massachusetts, in which he says that if
ii shall be made to appear to hin, by the
Governor of any State, that particular
towns to which quotas have been as
signed have heretofore actually furnished
a surplus of men over their quotas, an
order will be issued discharging from the
service of the United States number of
men called into the service bv the pres
ent draft from said towns equal to the
surplus proved to have been furnished
hOrotofore-- Towns will thus get credit
actually for their excess in former calls.
The number of men thus discharged
from the service will be added to the
next subsequent quota Of the Congress

GOVERNMENT sALE.-No little interest

GOVERNMENT SALE.-No little interest
was taken in the sale of Government
property yesterday. The attendance was
quite large and the bidding spirited.
Seventy horses in all were disposed Of at
an acreage of forty-two dollars and
twenty-five cents each. Two or three of
the animals were sold at 81 each, and the
general opinion was that the buyers at
those figure swere sold" A few of tie
horses brought over one hundred dol
lars, showing that they were very good
condemned horses.
The other articles. such as hunks, &c,
did not sell so well, comparatively, as
the horses, but all the articles went of
quite readily.
