Report of the Postmaster General.

/ lie Postal department has been agaln
more than selfsustaining during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1865, the revenue be-
ing Sl4, 500, l5S 20, and the expenditures
Sl3,694, rs 2S, leaving surplus of SS6l.-
430 42. The service has been per cent
more costly and Il per cent more produc-
tive than the previous year. The average
deficiency for the past n years has been
81, 2SS, 02S 81 per annum, which had to be
met by speeialap appropriation. The estimates
of the year 1866 and 1861 contemplate a
deficiency of s. POI .457, which is more than
provided for III unexpended appropriations.
There has been an addition of 3, les miles
OF routes opened during the year principally
in the Southern States, and l,O5l of the
1902 old Offices reopcned, at much less
cost than before, and proposals have been
invited tor reestablishing nearly all the old
routes.
The European mail service has been CON
Quoted for some years on the basis Of paying
to American steamers the whole of the pos
tages of letters carried, and tc foreign steam
ers the sea postage only, the latter amount
ing to an average-of S2,970 per trip last
year. The advantages Of such competition
rather than subisdizing national steamers
are clearly set forth. Steam service with
Brazil has been established, and contracted
for to China
Free delivery of letters is now confined to
45 principal cities. A new Post-O Office
building for New York is recommended.
There has been an increase of - per cent
$3.50, ,262) in the number of dead letters for
the year, of which ~, ia contained money
amounting to 5:22444 3I2 81, large increase
upon last year Nearly one per cent of all
letters conveyed were sent to the Dead
Letter Office, owing in part, no doubt to
the irregularities caused by the war The
law requiring the advertising in the news
paper of largest circulation it is found is
very expensive, and discretion is urged in
its stead.
The Money Order system is so far sue
cessfully in operation that Is has issued a.
Pr orders for 81, 800, 122 50 during the
year; the fees amounting only to two thirds
of the expenses. Some suggestions for al
ternatlon are suggested
Contractors and Others from the rebellious
States have presented claims fer million
dollars, which are held for the action of
Congress. The two great mill stones on
the neck of the Post-Office are the Frank
ing Privilege and the Overland Mail (partly
military, which together cost a net outlay
of two millions of dollars to be paid by the
Department
1t is gratifying fact, illustrating the
progress of education and social develop
ment of our country, that the average re-
ceipts from the North alone during four
years of war were So 533, S45, over the

By the following, copied from the CT1lci,s-

the Ohio White Sulphur Springs are to be
opened the coming season as usual, by the
original proprietor, Mr.. ANDREW WILSON
OHIO WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGs.-The
bill before the Legislature for the purchase
of this property for a Soldiers Home hav-
ing failed, owing to a disagreement as to
the expediency of establishing such am in
stitution, (nearly all conceding the admir-
able adaptation of the buildings and i'm
provements for such purpose, and the
great cheapness of the property at the price
at which it was offered, $50,000,) Mr. Viii
son is now making arrangements to have
it opened for the ensuing season. We trust
that the advantages which it has afforded
to the people of this city and State in ac-
cessibility and in the economy of enabling
them to obtain first class accommodations
for themselves and families without the ex-
pense and trouble of an Eastern trip, will
lead to its better appreciation and more
liberal patronage during the coming sum

AN INTERESTING BOoK.-We have re-
eeived from the canvassing Agent, Miss
Howell, a copy of a handsome work of
400 pages, entitled ''Life and Death i9l Rebel
Prisons, being "a complete history of the
inhuman and barbOrous treatment of our
brave soldiers by the rebel authorities, in
ficting terrible suffering and frightfuI NOR
tality, principally at Andersonville, Ca,
and Florence, S. c., describing plans ofes-
cape, arrival of prisoners, with numerous
and varied incidents and anecdotes of pris-
on life: by Robert H. Kellogg, Sergeant
Major of the 10th Regiment Connecticut
Volunteers-prepared from his daily jour
nal; to which is added as full sketches of
other prisons as can be given without a
repetition of the above, by parties who
have been confined therein" The work is
one of thrilling interest and illustrated with
numerous engravings. 1t is sold only by
subscription, and Miss Howell viii afford
all of our citizens who wish to procure it
an opportunity to do so.

Whether the BrandrOtb Pill is convertible
blood, we will not now disguise. But chief object
at this time is to give statement Of gentlenAn who
says he has taken OF the Brandreth Pills, for at
least sixteen months, daily, about $50 days in
cesson and who says at the ond of that time he
sidered himself cured of Dyspepsia attended by
stan costve state of the bowels, which had troubled
him for a long time.
This gentleman, Mr.. Tommy, resides at the Astor
House, in this city and has been the enjoyment of
excellent health since he cured by this
ment. This proves, at least, that many as of
the Pills prepared by Dr. Brandreth be taksn
nearly 500 days in succession without harm, and at
the end Of that time dyspeptic and costive habit
the body may be perfectly cured. This could not be
said Of any OF the cathartcs by those who style
themselves the Regular Facy. Sod by all respecta-

THE GERMAN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the large German element in our commun-

guage is one that will be appreciated and
should be improved by persons engaged in
business that brings them in contact with
the people generally. By reference to our
advertising columns it will be seen that
Mr.. Jas. d. Broueher proposes opening
next Monday school for the purpose of
teaching the German language, and will
also give private instruction to such as de-
sire it. Mr.. b. is thoroughly competent,
and we doubt not will give satisfaction to
his pupils. We commend his enterprise
to the patronage of the public.
