Yu ohea,ence to instructions receiv- aa yesterday afternoon. Postmaster e' p Dimmiek last night sent several wagon loads of mail matter, inciudins gmany sacks of valuable resis'ereu
 matter. whose destination was New or-
 leans and Texas points, ana ws n lhad been held in Montgoney .Sas,,c If the general suspension or taii.s N almost every direction because oi sshe recent storms, on its journey. 1 The mail sacks were sent out on 'hs . .ao train to Birmingham, whence they will be taken to New Orleans wa tne Southern Railway This was the liis' train that carried mail out or Moht ron,erv to either the north, west or .~auth for two days, and served to ois- h,ose. so far as the local postonice was Hancerned of an immense quantity ol knaiI matter estimated to be or great fvalue. that had been stopped here py 'fhe postal authorities. because the mail routes to the south ana west "eAe tout of co mission.
 n Errom all parts of the country this i4nail matter had arrived, the halls al t4ne Federal building being crowded 10 ADverflowing with registered matter Alone. While nothing is definitely Hxnown, there is every reason to believe &hat hundreds of thousands of dollars
  led for delive to the Assistant Treas- xurer of the Uni d States at New or Heans. was included in the mail matter 3ntorei for so many --5urs in the Moht- rEomery postoffce.
 M 1There Is hardly day" said an Of facial at the postoff1ce yesterday. but Nkhat one or more O. the banks of Mont Eroraery bl.ngs a big roll of bills. the Accumulation of it's currency in busi- 2hess for the day, here to the postoffice Mo be sent by registered mail to the &sub-treasury at New Orleans. Tnfs $seems to be the favorite method Of the 3banks for disposing of the excess cash Aeceived Sometimes the sums of mon- lev represented by these rolls of bills drums well up into the tens of thou tRands of dollars. And the condition of aRhe shipment of money Is the same in bother portions of the South as 1t is in 3AEontgonery."
 if It was largely these shipments or fnash to the New Orleans treasury that Monstituted the wealth of the registered 3knail held for so long in the Montgom- fAry postoffice, and which Postmaster tDimmick and his corps of assistants lgave up so willingly, with sigh or ireIief at getting the responsibility for l1ts care off their shoulders
 f There is still left at the postoffice a sconsiderabla quantity of mail, both
 common and registered, destined for Mobile --nd Pensacola. but 1t is not regarded as so valuable as that which Twas here last evening, addressed to yNew Orleans and Texas.
 The postoffice authorities said y'es- lterday that no mail had been received from Birmingham since 9 o'clock Fri day morning. That state of affairs, 1t fwas stated, would indicate that not lonly was there a break in the line Of Communication between this city and Birmingham. but that the railway lines between Birmingham and Atlanta were also closed; otherwise, the postal authorities would have ordered the Fnail sent from Birmingham to the kGeorgia city and thence to Montgom- sery, having been in working condition fduring the entire time of the storm Trouble.
