Special to the Herald says:
General Grant, General Ingalls, and a

Thirty-tWo vessels are detained from

Fully alive to the wants Of the times
and the great expansion in commercial
matters, the American Express Company
has just insugursted new festure to Its
already immense business. This consists
in the forwarding Of letters by express
an idea that will at once command the ct.
tention and encouragement Of the business
communitp. The arrangements have been
entirely oonsumsted, and will, without
doubt, secure liberal patronage.
The envelope used BY the Company for
this Purpose is the regular Government
stamped envelope, with the prepaid stamp
o. the Company affixed, stating that its
delivery and Garage sre prepaid to OF
from their offices in the States Of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, In
diana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mis-
souri,, Iowa and Minnesota.
This or 8 similar system has been dss-
idsrdtHm Of inesimsble Importance. Al
though the regular mail is generally safe,
still tits rather slow, and those having
important documents to transmit-bills Of
lsding, orders by mail, market reports and
tho ike-csn now have them sent forward
by the most expeditions and safest route.
1t will prove Of great benefit to transient
parties. Letters sent them by express
will be sure to reach them; or if they can
not be found, immedis, q notice will be sent
10 the sender. This is one great advantage
ever the mail system, as the letters will
not have to go through the undertaken
hands at the dead letter ofiee.
This new arrangement in no way con-
1icts with either the laws or the revenue
OF: hs Post Office Department.; but while
the postal laws are strictly conformed
with, and the Government receives the
same price for its stamped envelopes ss il
would from individuals paying postage, il
at the same time aotuslly saves the Gov
ernment the expense Of handling the
transportation.

When the bloody battle of Gettysburgh
was raging hottest young Lieutenant,
who was brsvely leading his men in the
front line, fell in the moment Of making q
victorious charge. Severely wounded, he
was borne bleeding from the field, and was
taken to private house, short distance
in the rear Of the battle ground. The army
surgeons being all engaged in caring for
the wounded, sheltered by the hospital
tents, the Lieutenant was left without a
physician. A young lady, who was on
visit 10 some friends in the neighborhood,
noticed his condition, and kindly bsndsged
his wounds and watched by his side until
surgical aid could be rendered. His iniu-
ries were found to be so great that his life
was despaired Of, and he was unable to be
removed from the house. The young lady
kindly volunteered to be his nurse. For
weeks she bent over him, soothed his fever
ed brow, and watched the faint futterinRs
Of life. The sufferer grew better; and,
during the days Of convslescence, the fair
nurse and her patient learned to speak Of
love. Before the young lady left for her
home in Kentucky, the vows Of love were
plighted. Months rolled away, and the
Lieutensnts wounds were healed, but he
could not forget his fair nurse; and, tax
ing the train for Louisville, he again stood
in the presence Of his betrothed On last
Thursday evening the romance was finish
ed with 8 sequel by the happy psir being
united in Wedloek.

The Secretary of the Treasury has
transmitted to the Senate, in response to
a resolution, list of the special agents Of
the Treasury, their field of operations, pay
and emolunents, from which it appears
that under the act Of March, 1863, twenty
seven supervising and special agents have
been appointed, some with salaries Of five
and others with six dollars day, and ten
cents a mile for travelling, in no case TO
exceed Eve Thousand dollars in full. Un-
der the act of July 7th, 1852, to further
provide for the collection Of
revenue, ten special agents, some with
salaries as above. One at $1,000, ]. R.
Dimon at Nashville; one at 81, 500, Thom-

under the act Of March, 1868, for the COL

Court was rendered to-day by Justice
Grier, in favor Of the defendants in each
Of tho three cases, deciding that the Ber-

TUEsDa ' RIORNING, MAR. 30, Is64. :


Senator Wilson stated some interesting
facts in the House Yesterday in reference
to desertiOns from the srny. He said:
Ithas been represented that there we're
eighty thousand deserterS from our army.
This was g mistake. There were not more
than forty thousand. Many OF these had
escaped from the army through the hospi-
tsls and other means. It was also repre-
scented that tWenty-eight thousand deser-
tsts had been returned to the army in the
past few months through the provost-mar-
shal system: and under this system, in
cohnection with the enrolment sot there
were now few deserteFs in the army. He
thought there were eight or ten thousand
deserters in Canada or the British proTin-
oes. They had gone there when desertion
was not considered so grest a crime as it is
now, when discipline was slack. and when
1t WAS comparatively easy to obtain troops.
BE cited the fact that over thirty-fve thou
sand troops were absent without leave at
Earrison's Landing. He had learned that
fQany Of these deserters in Canada were
anxious to return and serve their time out,
ss the war had lasted longer then they had
expect,Nd. They find that living in Cana,
dais mu,1 ,1h harder than serving their coun.
try in the field. He thought that il the
President ", Nuld name such places IS De
troit, Buffalo. ogdensburg, or some pOintI
in the State Of Mime where these desert
ers might come pdsr The terms Of thil
bill, quite body OF uen would return t.
duty.
Ills not generally known that tbs Pres
ident has already psrdOned number o
dessrters TO Canada upon condition Of ftheil
enlistment into the army. Four deserterl
from New York to Canada sent an envoy
in the shape Of kind-hearted woman Il
Mr.. Lincoln to see if they could come back
They are now back in the army.
