POSTAL ORDERS.

For the information and benefit of persons wish
ing to transmit money through the mails, we will
state that the Post Office at this place is now
money order Office, which obviates that necessity.
Persons can now transact business through the
Post Office without running any risk of having
money flched from letters. The postal order sys-
tenn is scheme of banking, but more secure. if
possible than that method, and is intended more
particularly for small sums. Orders can be OBJ
tanned for the sum of $50 and under. We under
stand the mode of procedure to be as follows:-
The applicant for money order deposits the
amount desired with the Postmaster and he fur
nishes him with order on the Postmaster at
any point desired, and then the applicant sends
the order to the party for whom the money is in
tended. The Postmaster who issues the order is
required to notify the Postmaster drawn upon
that he has issued an order of such number.
date and amount, to such party. Thus it will
be seen that money cannot be lost. We would,
also advise all parties sending valuables through
the mails to have their letters registered. The
registered letter system has so near reached per-
lection that it is scarcely possible to lose letter
The Postmaster's fee for money orders is 25
cents for sums of $50 and over $40; $40 and un-
der, 10 cents.

He was emphatically man of energy and use
fulness. For more than a quarter of a century
he employed as Architect at the Western

and symmetry of its buildings are due to his skill
and assiduity
The Corner Stone of most of the public build
ngs Of the town, including that of our Hall be-
ing tried by the Plumb, Square and LereL, was
pronounced by him to be ''aoeU formed true and
trusty."
Bro Blackburn was sincere Christian and an
upright man and Mason. He will greet us no
more around our sacred Altar He has finished
his earthly labors, and passed from the terrestri-
al to the celestial Lodge above. to be forever in
the presence of the Grand Master of the Universe
ResotUed, That we tender our sincere sympathy
and coincidence to the Widow and family of our
deceased Brother.
Resotced, that the foregoing preamble and these
Resolutions be spread upon the record testi-
monial of affection and respect for our deceased
Brother.
ResoLued, That the Secretary communicate a
copy of the foregoing to the family Of our deceas
ed Brother, and that the Newspapers of the town
be requested to publish the same.

cooked it and pitched it back to Apple, who
seized it about the breach, and, it is supposed,
touched the trigger, causing it to snap and dis
charge its contents in the forehead of the
unfortunate McGufin, who died in about two
hours afterwards. The gun was old and rusty
and had no cap on the tube. McGufiin was "a

= This eminent physician, who established him
self in our town about twelve months since, has
already drawn to himsefa large and lucrative
practice. After an experience of eighteen or
twenty years, the Doctor may well be considered
the friend and benefactor of any community
Gifted by nature with extraordinary talents, and
having mastered, by careful study, the whole
science of medicine, he is deservedly entitled to
whatever honor or emolument may accrue to him
from his profession. He was a candidate for the
Professorship at the University of Va, made va
cant by the resignation of Dr. Howard, but did
not. as we stated in our last issue, through error
receive the complimentary vote we had suppos-
ed nevertheless, this fact will neither affect his
high standing in the Valley as a physician, nor
the increasing profits of his profession.

Circular to all District attorneys and Mar
shals of the United States. and to all Their
respectire Assistants and Deputies and to
all persons holding any official relation to
the Attorney- Generals office:
ATTORNEY GENERAL S OFFICE,
September 10, 1867.
Sir.-I herewith furnish you with an ofhclal
copy of the proclamation of the President OF the
United States dated the Sd instant and In the
ninety-second year of American independence.
This proclamation recites in brief the obliga-
tons of loyalty to the republic, and was intend
ed to admonish you. In common with all persons
holding any place of honor, trust or profit, civil
or military, at home or abroad, under the
United States of America, and all good citizens
thereof, that the Constitution of their country
is In force and that the Government thereun-
der, with its several coordinate branches, legls-
latiye, executive and judicial, is the only law
full Government for this republic, notwithstand-
ing that many well-meaning citizens have, In
consequence of disturbing events that are now
happily past, come to look with indulgence up
on false and dangerous pretences that the Con-
stitution is not the supreme law of the land,
and also the most authentic proof of the will OF
the people; but that there are powers OF gov
eminent outside of the Constitution which may
lawfully violate that instrument and the laws
made in pursuance OF it.
All citizens of the United States owe allegiance
to that nationality, as the same is embodied
and organized in the Constitution and such
amendments thereof as, having become expedi-
ent in the progress of the country, have been
duly made and ratified But In special man
ner all persons holding Office under the United
States are solemnly sworn to support that Con-
stitution, and also to bear true faith and alegi-
ance to the same, and to the Government there
under; and Tor the greater number of such in
cumbents at this time it is known that they
have been retained or have been placed in their
respective Offices upon express assurances of
Jealous loyalty to the Union, which is taken by
all men to mean cheerful obedience to the
proper civil authority of the country. But for
the functions Of your Office, which are directly
connected with the enforcement of the laws, a
lively sense of their sanctity and authority is
anticipated.
You are requested to acknowledge the receipt
of this communication. Very respectfully, your
obedient servant,
JOHN NJ. BINCKLEY,
