fWash. Cor. y. 7. Times, July ISL

Several new and important reforms are
being introduced into our National Postal
System.
Among the moet important Of these is the
new Money Order System, which has been in
process Of preparation in the Department for
come time past. It Is thought 1t will be fully
matured and in operation BY the first Of 0c-
tober. The necessary blank forms, books,
instructions, &c, are now being raoidly pre-
pared. Mr. Chas. F. Mcdonald, an old and
Experienced at!dehe Of the Department Is
placed In charge Of the work, and force of
seven clerks detailed to assist him.
Arrangements are aleo being perfected for
the distribution Of the mails while in tr1nstu
similar to the system 60 long pursued In
Great Britain, France and other European
countries
1t has been matter Of surprise to business
men why the system Of distributing mails
for waE points and Of sorting through letters
while In 7uute, Sous to facilitate their early
md certain delivery, has not been adopted
sooner. Travelling post-of1ices hare cousti-
tuted an important bTnnch Of the postal ar
ruugements of England ever since their rail-
road system was completed, and even before
that period. It has been found to work well
and there is no reason why it should not ope~
rate to equal advantage In this country.
Meesrs. Thos. Clark, New York; Geo. II.
Lewis, Philadelphia; Geo. B. Armstrong,
Chicago; - Wheeler, Cleveland, are now
actively engaged in behalf OF the Govern
me0t, In building cars aud making all neces-
sa1y arrangements for putting this system In
operation.

lfrum 0u1 CNQ correspondent
Para, Christian Co., ILL.,, duly Is, 1864.
briefly indicated BY telegraph to you
few Of the outrages, perpctrnted in Christian
and Montgomery counties, by the band OF
rebels, at present encamped midway between
Vapdnlia and Hil1sboro.
EXCITEMENT
At the latter place there is great excitement
and delegation Of some Of the most respec.
table citizens OF the town and vicinity have
united in demand upon the Governor for
protection. They insist that they and their
families shall not be left at the mercy Of
band Of bnshwhackers and assasslns.
TIE INSURGENTS.
These men, numbering from two to three
hundred, arc under the command Of one
ClingmaD, notorious Missouri refugee and
border ruttlau, and by bis orders plunder the
loyal citizens OF money, arms and produce.
The ripencd crops and the ripening grain are
taken without scruple. They are excellently
well armed With guns, rifles and knives, and
are under the most perfect discipline and
most thorough organization. For some rea-
son, Hillsboro is IN especial object of ven
geaDce to them. There arc many whole soul
I'd Union men In that village, one of'the old
est in this portion Of the State, who will not
sit down quietly while these outrage5 are be-
ing perpetrateo in this vicinity without at
tempting to punish the perpetrators.
THREATS.
The rebels have sworn to lay waste the
town, and great fears arc entertained that
they will put these threats in execution
There is great wealth in Hi1lsboro, and should
an attack be made they would undoubtedly
be able to escape with considerable booty.
LIKELIHOOD OF ATTACK.
How serious the Inhabitants consider the
likelihood Of attack msy be inferred from
the lact that company Of militia .is con-
stantly in arms, and that all the roads lead
ing to the village are strongly ptcketed day
and night Should tho bushwhackers make
handled, but with the present force could
not be prevented from forcing IN entrance
INTO the village, where they would have mat
tiers pretty much their own way.
BOB DAVIS And HIS REGIMENT,

Coppcrheads Of Montgomery raised d rcgi-
ment, ostenBibly to resist the threatened
draft, but really to aid John Morgan In case

months thereafter, Bob was In daily expecta-

hourly thought to find resting place In

been allowed to pursue the even tenor Of bis
way unmolested, he has recovered a portion
Of bis senses, and, 1t is said, has refused to
favor this Inter dem monstration: His former
associates are terribly enraged because Of his
detection, and threaten to burn his house
and lay waste bis possessions. Bob ia be-

An influential delegation OF Anglo Rebels
from the Society tor Obtaining the Cessation
Of Hosti]ities in America, Waited on Lord
Palmerston On the 18th inst. for The purpose
ofurging her Mnjcsty's Government to take:
steps to bring about peace.
Lord Palmerston In reply said that two
facts were ab0ndautlY clear, viz: that the
war was cruelty destructive to the Americans
themselves, and the Inconvenience caused by
1t to other nations vas excessive. The ques-
tion remained, whether the Government had
any national ground for surprising that the
Federal Government would Usten to any pro-
posals Of mediation at the present moment.

nose, but he feared that premature efforts
would only have the effect of e1nsperatiug
the North, and making 1t more difficult when
the passions were little calmed, to effect
the object all must have in view. The Gov
eminent was led to think, from all accounts
that reached them, that this was not the mo-
ment at which any mediatory proposals
could be usefuuy made. Each party was
equally confident Of ultimate SUCCESS, and the
North espt cially jealous of Interference II,
however, at any future time reasonable
ground could be shown for suppoeiug that
