New Postage Stawn.

4 self-cancelling postage stamp has been
invented. Instead of moistening the back
of these stamps, the face, being gummed, is
dampened and placed on the letter as usual,
when such an impression on the face of the
letter renders their removal impossible If
by any process, the stamps are taken off, it
must be destroyed, while the impression re-
mains plainly upon the letter. The self-can-
ceiling operation viii save vast amount of
time and labor in all our postoffces, and in
sures security against being reused or picked
off by thieves. The main point Of inquiry
now appears to be, whether these light and
delicate stamps will be found able to resist
the action of heat in W arm weather, and be
as completely portable as the present issue;
whether, in folding them, they would not
adhere to each other, or break so as to dis
figure the vignette

Sherman's Whereabouts.

Nothing defnate is known of Gen. Sher-
man and his army since they left Columbus,
S. G. The rebel papers, however, intimate
that Sherman made flank movement on
Florence, and that he was moving from
thence on Fayetteville, North Carolina,
which is at the head OF steam boat naviga-
ton on Cape Fear river, and on the direct
reut to Goldsborough. No fears are enter
tanned for the safety Of Sherman's army,
but great anxiety is manifested to hear OF
its whereabouts.

Bribery at the White House.

Some of the copperhead papers are max
ing great outcry over card published In
Washington paper by Emerson Ethe-
ridge, of Tennessee, stating, in effect, that
a person came from Tennessee to secure the
release of five rebel prisoners-that he paid
c. OLeary, the doorkeeper at the Execu-
tive mansion, $50 for securing the Presi-
dents attention to the subject, and that he
saw several other persons bribe the same
doorkeeper in the same way for similar ser
vices. Mr.. Etheridge states that he him
self went through the same performance
for the purpose of testing the matter, and
he closes his card thus:
II make this matter public from motives
of humanity. During the last year | have
made applications for the discharge of pris
oners of war upon the terms mentioned in
the above order of the President, but IN no
instance have I been successful / have of
ten written to the friends and kindred of pris
oners that there was no end to their captIv-
ity but peace [ rejoice, however to be a
bic at last to inform those who feel an inter-
est in the matter, that cheap and expedi-
tious remedy is within their poH er: Com
missioners of exchange may disagree, Butler
may higgle about his niggers, but ten dol
lars inclosed to &C. o, O,Leary, Executive,
Mansion, Washington, DC, viii restore
any repentant rebel to the blessings of free
dom and the society Of friends. "
The Washington Chronicle gives the Sc
quel 1t states that when this statement
was shown to NIr. Nicolay, the Presidents
Private Secretary, the servant, O Leary, was
called and questioned on the subject He
confessed having induced member of Con
gress to present the petition to the Presi-
dent, whose signature was promptly given
to the order for the release of the prisoners,
on condition that they should take the oath;
and he also confessed to having received
present of money for his services. He was
at once dismissed from his place. We hope,
says the Telegraph, that Mr. Emerson
Etheridge and the copperhead press feel
better.

The Way Deserters Look at Things


4 correspondent from the Army Of the
Potomac writing under date of Feb. 25th,
says: A squad of deserters who came over
on Thursday night were fred upon furiously,
but, strange to tell, not man of them was
injured. After they reached place of safe
ty, some of our men inquired how it was
that they all escaped, ooh, said the spokes-
man of the party, ''them fellers fred too
high to hit US Yes, yes returned the
picket officer, but why did they FIRE so
high?" tOh why, don't you know ?''
answered the rebel "well, it S because they
are coming over themselves tomorrow
right" Another lotof ffty-three deserters
from South Carolina regiment, who also
came in on Thursday night, reported them
selves as peace commissioners. They said
that as Messrs. Stephens, Hunter and Camp
bell had failed to make terms with the
Administration and bring them back into the
Union, they concluded to come over them
selves and see what they could accomplish In
that line. One ofthis number declared that
they had gone into this war to- put down
the heresy that a negro is as good as a white
man" but as that doctrine was now appa-
rently about to be adopted at the South, and
the negroes were to be placed in the ranks
there and made their equals, they wished to
go North, where there were fewer of such
equals TO be found. The introduction of
negro soldiers into the Southern army is re-
presented as being exceedingly distasteful to
hewhite men, and likely tomake desertions
Tar more numerous than ever

Strength of the Armies.

The whole available rebel force at the
disposal OF Lee is put down, by the n. I.
World, at 140. 0.000 and that under Gener-
al Grant, in Virginia and the Carolinas, at
100000. The same paper also surmises
that Lee may detach sufficient troops from
his army, to swell that operating against
Sherman to 90,00o-leaving $4,000 to de-
fend Richmond and Petersburg. Sherman s
army, it is said, is not less than l20,0
This being the case, it is not likely that the
rebels can successfully resist Sherman inh
progress towards the rebel capital.

TIFF PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.

The inaugural address of President Lin
coin is brief, and, politically, scarcely sug-
gestive. -Four years ago the President, as
suming for the first time the duties of great
Office, was expected to declare the policy
which would control his actions and address
words of counsel to the passionate men who
were threatening the integrity Of theGovern-
ment. How liberal were his views, how
earnestly he endeavored to avoid the men
acing conflict the recoIIections Of the peo-
pie have truly recorded. Since that time
the danger which was sought 10 be avoided
has heen pressed upon US, The nation has
been compelled to battle for its existence,
and the contest is not yet ended. The Pres
ident might have reviewed the occurrences
Of the last. four years, and Vindlcated his
policy. Such co Lrse would have been pro-
per, had his mind been so inclined. But 1t
was in better taste TO avoid it.
The history Of the Government was be
fore the conGtry in November last. Its pol
icy had been well defined; and whether its
measures were worthy Of the approval of
citizens, was the great question to be deci-
ded by the people They did decide it, and
by such an overwhelming vote, that repeti-
ton of the arguments used to sustain the
policy would he unnecessary now. The
President has. therefore, barely adverted to
Them His address IS that of an earnest
man, who, fully understanding the nature
of the weighty obligation which he has as
sumed, does not disparage the solemnity of
the act by flatulent rhetoric and idle words.
The tone of the speech is that of one who
approaches the most impressive of obliga-
tions, by the simple announcement that he
viii perform it to the best of his ability,
humbly trusting in God and beseeching the
assistance and favor of his countrymen.
That the noble aspirations Of the President
for the speedy conclusion of this dreadful
contest may soon be granted, aud that the
country may once more prosper in the light
of peace, and may meet with the favor Of
Providence, will be the sincere hope Of eve
ry Christian and patriot.

a dispatch dated City Point, March 9TH
says: Deserters and Refugees, from every
part of the enemy's lines, confirm the re-
port that Gen Sheridan had captured the
rebel Gen. Early and his whole force, con-
sisting of 1900 men, between Stanton and
Charlottesville, and the occupation of the lat
ter place by Sheridan. A Winchester letter
states that Sheridan started in the direction
of Lynchburg on the 9th, with about five
thousand cavalry, which goes to confirm the
truth of the above dispatch.

A Sentiment from Gen Burnside.

A masonic festival was held in Providence
on Wednesday evening, at which the follow
ing toast was read from General BURNSIDE,
who had promised to be present, but was
uiayoidably detained:

the great truths enunciated by Saint Paul to
the men Of Athens, that Con hath made of
one blood all nations of men to dwell on the
face of the earth. - and by the signers of the
Declaration Of independence, that al men
are born equal, have made him a fit instru-
ment in the hands of Divine Providence to
to carry our people through the fearful
struggle now being enacted; and we promise
him and his officers now leading our armies
our cordial support, confident that they VIII
succeed in re-establishing the authority of
the Government, and inmaking it respected

unparalelled Rebel TreaoherY.

Some days since it was announced that
Columbia, S. c., had been burned by Gen.
Sherman troops; but no particulars were
given. Later advices however, would indi-
cate that the city was burned, by order of
Gen. Sherman, as punishment for citizens
firing upon our troops when it was in our
possession The following Is the statement
Of the burning of the place, as eoumunica-
ted to the .Arago, by dispatch boat, when
off Charleston Bar, which, if it be true, IL
lustrates unparalleled rebel treachery. The
officers who brought the intelligence to
Charleston state that soon after a Corps of
General Sherman's troops had captured
Columbia, the capital Of South Carolina, the
rebel citizens there endeavored in every pos
sible manner to harrass our troops. The
corps which entered the city after its cap
ture at once left to join in Sherman's fur
ther advance, and was succeeded by another
(Gen. Slocum' S. While the latter corps
was quietly marching through the principal
streets to their temporary barracks, a num-
Der of the citizens poured deadly fire upon
them from the windows and roofs Of the
houses they occupied. Insurrection was be-
ginning to spread, when our troops retired
a short distance, and subsequently fred the
city which is now in ashes No further
particulars were received.
The Richmond EtdDoi,aer Of the 2Sth in
referring to the burning of Columbia says,
that "a'rumor, which is doubtless exaggera-
ted, has it that three fourths of the city has
been DESTROYED
