The New POSTAL Arrangements.

By tho new post Office law which went
iato effect on the LIST of July, Leavenworih
ranks with the first grade, and Der Post
Master will receive the same salary as he Of
Baltimore or Philadelphia, New York being
the 0nfy exceptionary. The new regula-
tioa comprises only four grades. The fee
and per4ui5ite system is entirely abolished,
each Post Master having stated salary,
and the Government defraying all the ex-
penses of clerk hire, rent, fuel, &c.
The money order system is likely to
prove the most popular and valuable of any
postal reform for long period. It entirely
obviatss the necessity of transmitting mon
ey or drafts by mail, and thus insares the
parties interested against the possibility of
loss. If A of Leavenworth wishes to send
3 of Boston $40 or $4,000, he viii de-
post the same with the Post Master here
and receive Government certificate of the
amount, while the latter notifies the Boston
Post Master 20 pay the said B the amount
stated, upon application, and charge the
same to the National Bank of Leayen worth.
Tue reports being forwarded to Washing
ton quarterly, the accounts are there settled
1t is in effect an arrangement by which
the Government becomes in every instance
responsible for the safe delivery of all funds
entrusted to its charge, and thus insure'
the public against losses so inseparable from
the former regulation. We learn that i
will take effect in Leavenworth as soon al
the requisite preliminaries are arranged

600 men for military services, from which
number is to be deducted all men furnish

have entered the naval service as prescrib-
ed in Section Eight of the new enrolment
law. This section is as follows:
"Eighth-All persons in the naval ser

said service during the present rebellion who
have not been credited to the quota of any
town, district, ward or State, BY reason of
their being in said service. and not enrolled

Immediately after the 9Th of September,
fifty days from the date Of the call, a draft
will take place for all the troops required
under it and not then furnished, men TO be
drafted for one years service, and no COM
mutation /; that is, all who are drafted must
60 or furnish substitutes.
The number which Kansas will have to

The ''Peace'' Conference atNiagara Falls.
The sensation reports concerning the in
terview between Horace Greeley and the
Rebel Peace Commissioners at Niagara
Falls are thus disposed of in the Tribune
of the 22d inst:
The editor of this paper has taken part
in, and been privy to, no further or other
negotiations than were fully authorized,
and more than authorized. They related
solely to bringing the antagonists face to
face in an amicable rather than 6elligersnt
attitude, with view to the initiation of an
earnest effort for peace, to be prosecuted at
Washington. The movement has had no
immediate success. Of course, the reports
that the writer has been engaged in prepar-
iRg, or receiving. or discussing terms for a
basis of peace, whether accredited agents of
the Richmond Authorities, or others, are ut
terly mistaken. He has never had the
slightest authorization TO do any thing of
the sort, and he is quite aware of those pro-
visions of Law which Fefatc To- volunteer ne
gotiations with a public enemy. Those
provisions he heartily approves, and is in
nowise inclined to violate. More than this
he does not, as yet, feel at liberty TO state,
though he soon may be. ali that be ca q
now add is his general differences that the
raci6cation of our country is neither go
difficult, nor so distant, as seems to be gen
orally supposed.

NEWS BY LAST NIGHTS MAIL.

A telegram from Nashville, 26th, says
Sensation dispatches, dated Atlanta, July
22d, published in Western papers, create
totally false impressions. We have not yet
occupied Atlanta. 1t is believed here that
we have deue better than that, and are keep
ing Hoods army in it. Hood appears to
have been much chagrined regarding the
fight of the 22d. There has been no fight
ing since. All railroads leading from At
lanta except the Macon road, are destroyed
There appears to be no disposition on our
part to hasten the occupation Of Atlanta.
Other things can be done than attacking
the enemy in their works and Sherman is
not likely to force an engagement where
the enemy will have a very great advantage.
Reliable Information has been received that
everything is going on right.
There is another big scare in Maryland.
1t is said that Early is about to recross the
Potomac with about $4,000 rebels. Gen.
Crook had been whipped at Winchester,
and it was reported that Generals Kelly and
Averill were killed, aid Col. Muliigan
wounded. This is disputed. A dispatch
says Washington and Baltimore are not
considered in any danger from the present
movement. II is also reported that Har-
per's Ferry had been evacuated by our
forces, and that Hunter had been worsted
near that place. We can get at nothing
satisfactory in these reports.
The 100 days regiment is not progress
ing very we'll. Some of the men have left
camp because they could not elect their
own officers. There ,is not over 400 men
in camp yet. The authorities made mis-

The Crnns,


From all sections of the loyal States, the
late accounts respecting the condition OF
the crops are of highly favorable charac-
ter. We are promised more than an ordi-
nary yield of grasses and grains; aud OF
fruit there will be a greater abundance than
last season.
Three weeks ago the prospect appeared
rather unfavorable there had been little
rain, and the earth had parched appear
ance, while the crops came forward with a
tantalising slowness. But all over the
country abundant rains have since fallen
and fertiized the earth, forwarding vegeta-
ton with amazing rapidity.
Whatever calamities may be in store for
the people otherwise, of one thing they
may be assured, viz : that shoft crops will
not rank among their misfortunes. The
earth will yield literally of its abundance,
and the harvest will be gathered and saved.
