EAsrPoRT, Miss, Jan. IL. :
To the Editor otthe Cincinnati Gazette:
DEAR S1R-Fronl an article saw yesterday
in the Louisville Press, am led to believe that,
at your suggestion, the citizens of Cincinnati
and Louisville are about to raise a sum of
money for the purpose of presenting me with
suitable testimonial of their appreciation of
my services since the war commenced. Whilst
am duly and profoundly sensible of the high
compliment thus proposed to be paid to me,
would greatly prefer, and, if not premature,
request that any SUM which may be raised for
| the purpose may be devoted to the founding of
fund for the relief of disabled soldiers, and of
| the INDECENT widows and orphans of officers
| this war. am amply rewarded when assured
that my humble services have met with the
| appreciation ofthe Government and the people.
With much respect, remain your obedient
servant, GEO. II. THOMAS,
Major General q. s. A.

Scarcely On individual in the North
but remembers the hue and cry raised BY
the Sbolitionists a few years ago on ac-
count Of the expenditures Of the Post Of
fee Department oseruoning the income.
The deficiency was blamed upon the
Southern States for not paying their
share Of the postal expenses, and was
usedss an argument to provo that We of
the North would be better off separated
from the South than in connection with it..
It was enc, Of the chief strings upon which
they played to wsken the feeling that has
now ripened into war and bloodshed. It
was used iu speeches, in papers, iu pam
phlets, and appeals to show that the
Southern States were dead weight to
our prosperity, and that the sooner we
got rid Of them the better it would be for
the taxpayers and people Of the North.
BY apersistent effort they at length sue
ceeded in driving the Southern States out
of the Union. Since that time we havc
not been eucumbered keeping up nom
paying routes for illiterate, overbearing
slave drivers" as they saw proper to de-
nominate the people Of the South, but
have simply kept open our own routes,
and even some Of them have been closed !;
and what is the state Of the finances in
the Post Office Department at this time 7
According to the report Of the Post Mas
ter General, for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1854, there is an excess of ex-
penditures over receipts Of two hundred
and six thousand, five hundred and thirty
two dollars and forty-two cents. Can
any Of our abolition friends explain why
this is! The South has gone and main
taius her own postal arrangements--it
can not be laid to their door, as it once
was. Where Is the scaps goat now? |?

The Board Of Directors of the Western
Associate Press is making strenuous ef-
fort to induce Congress to repeal the du-
ty on foreign printing paper. It's a well
established fact that "print" paper can
be manufactured at at a profit for six or
eight cents less per pound than the price
now charged by manufacturers, and that
the late cxhorbitant charges Of twenty
four to twenty-sesen cents pound is at
tributed to combined effort on the part
Of manufacturers to keep up tariff Of
prices equal to the cost of foreign manu-
factures, in New York, after payment Of
duties, which, at the present time, would
be about seventeen or eighteen cents in
currency per pound, but greatly elevated
above those by the present high rates Of
foreign exchange. ~
The repeal Of the duty on foreign paper
would, therefore, as natural consequence,
bring that commodity to something near
its real value and break up the domestic
monopoly Of that article. Hence, we
fully endorse the effort Of the Associated
Press and shall do all in our power to
second the movement toward the repeal
Of the duty aforesaid. e 1 a
