4 lady Of this city, of the highest respeta-
bility and atfluence before the war, by one of
the vicissitudes of dame fortune became
asseperated from her husband during the
odays Of the Contederacy. For years
ard nothing Of him, and at last the
holy conclusion was accepted that
Dead In the meantime she became
ced in circumstances, and at the time
men the Federal troops occupied the city
She was compelled to dispose of her costly
2 and elegant furniture. This che did, piece
by piece, until the last object which served
TO bind her TO her former Independence had
been sold, and she began TO despair. Only
few days ago she received letter from a
.e gentleman residing in Mississippi, in which
she was informed that her husband had
lately died, leaving fortune of over sixty
thousand dollars, of which she was the only
heir. A check for one thousand dollars
accompanied the letter for her immediate
ants, and she Immediately took her de-
rture for the place where her unexpected
fortune awaited he=, Il appears that her
husband, b. ling enlisted ia the army, was
discharged on account of illness, and owing
TO the unsettled state of the country, pre-
ferred to remain in the extreme South until
the close of the war. While there he be-
came engaged in various speculations, and
made large amounts of money, intending to
reioin his family as soon as peace was de-
clarsd. He invested his money in cotton,
and had just disposed of it when death
closed his career He had written many
letters to his wife, but strange "a say, none
of them reached her; the above letter being
| the fret information she had been able to
AobtAin as to his fate.

RATES or POsTAt9E.

In consequence of the general ignorance in the
South Of the rules Of postage established by law,
many letters Of importance daily lost to those
interested by being improperly or insutficiently
stamped. The regulations require that all such let
ters dropped into post offices shall be Immediately
forwarded to the Dead Letter Office, where they are
never heard from unless they contain money, or
other enclosures of value. We give below some in
formation which may prevent Yexation to cores
pcndents:
The rate of postage on letters within the United
States 5icents for every letter sealed package
weighing 0ne-half ounce under. Those over one
half ounce, cents and cents tor every additional
half ounce. Prepayment with stamps in all cases
is required All letters without the necessary post
age stamps, or which stamped with revenue
stamps, viii be forwarded to the Dead Letter Office
Immediately after being dropped into any post
