Postal Affairs-The West Point
Bill-NavaI-Frank Blair to re.


BilI-Naval-Fran Blair to re-
sign.
NEW YORK, March 25.--The Times special
dated Washington, 24th, says the Senate
Post Office committee, to-day, had under
consideration the overland mail question,
and unanimously instructed the chairman
to report bill providing for overland and
Fulsom, California. The bill authorizes the
Postmaster General to contract with the old
contractors or other responsible parties, for
daily mail for four years, at an annual
sum not exceeding one million dollars. The
time of running is shortened from twenty
to sixteen days. Provision is also made
that as soon as the Pacific railroad is con-
structed from each extremity the line and
compensation are to be shortened.
The West Point bill, as agreed upon by
the Conference committee, makes some i'm
portant changes. The House amendment
allowing an additional cadet from each of
the Congressional Districts was struck out,
on the ground that the capacity of the milf
tary academy was not tsufficient to accommo-
date the additional number named in the
bill, the President having filled up the
classes from the various States.
The House Naval committee to-day au-
thorized their chairman to report the Senate
bill equalizing the grade of line officers in
the Navy.
The Worlds special dated Washington
24th, says Frank Blair Is about to resign his
seat in the House, to take effect the moment
the special committee on his case makes a
report.

Permit me, through the columns Of

didon of the families of Union soldiers
in this county (Bradley)
ON the arrival of the Detached Divis-
ION of the 18th army corps, General

20 be the greatest destitutiOn prevailing
throughout this region Of country. l
was detailed, by the General command
ing. to open an office in this place to
receive and examine applications, and
endeavor partially to relieve the uni
versal want from our meagre supply OF
army stores. As the wants of the army
had to be the first consideration, it left
but little to relieve the wants Of desti-
tute citizens, but we have been giving
them what little could be spared
This county has been 50 completely
ravaged by the rebels that those who
were in good circumstances have moth
ing left with which to aid their needy
neighbors-aH are destitute
Most Of those who have been appli-
cants for aid are females, and nearly all
Of them have husbands, sons or broth
ers in the Union army, either at Nash
Vile or Knoxville, or in the vicinity Of
those places. For want Of mail facili-
ties or other means of intercommuni-
cation, they do not so much as hear
I from their friends in the army, and Of
/ course have received very little pecuni-
airy aid from them.
But if they had money IN the great
est abundance there is nothing to bay.

soon, / see nothing but starvation before
many of these poor people. They can
not long live here, and my purpose IN
writing these few lines is to ask (unso-
licited) if there eannot be some ar
rangemeut made by which the wives
and children of soldiers in our army
can be got to some place where remit
tances from their friends in the army
can reach them, and where they can
obtain at least Proeario'cs living till

say that the Uni0nism of these people
