All the information received from the
"seat of war" in Georgia is cumulative,
and shows that the idiots who originated
the story, and who continue to fabricate
confessions of the leaders," must have
very poor opinion of the intelligence of the
newspaper reading public, or they would
make their lies less transparent.

OUR REVENUE STAMPS.
The bid to furnish internal revenue stamps
for nothing, and pay $4,000 monthly for
the privilege, is SO anomalous that it re-
quires an explanation. The firm which is
now doing the work is satisfied that the
advertisement is worth 81, 100 monthly
besides the cost of the material. The law
permits the engravers to atfix their imprint
to every stamp. The law requires the
commissioner to award the contract to the
lowest bidder. He is in doubt whether the
firm which wants to pay for doing the work
is, under the law, the lowest bidder.

believe that Mr.. Watson was abont
6S years old.
The prospects for the teachers Of JEFF
ferson are rather gloomy, because of
the failure to have a Board of Exami-
ners appointed at the proper time. The
Teachers will be under the necessity of
waiting for their pay for some time,
and as few Of that class are wealthy,
they can i'll afford to wait / learn
that the school in the second ub-district
will be "opened for the transaction Of
business" on Monday next.
Only one or two of the schools in
Middleway District will retain their old
teachers for another term.
Mrs. Eliza Gorrel, al old lady resid-
