WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1864
There was a very pretty story current
about the time, twenty-five years ago,-when
Rowland Hill had succeeded in per
suading the British Parliament to adopt
his penny-postage plan, which ran some
what to this effect—that, being on a tour in
the lake country, (of the northeast of Eng
land,) he saw a postman present a letter to
the waiting-girl at the small' inn there,
which was Hill's own headquarters ; that
the girl declared she did not possess a shil
ling to pay for the postage ;' that, out of
sheer pity, Hill released the letter' for her_;
that, when the postman had departed, the
girl told Hill that if he opened the letter he
would not find any writing inside ; that her
brother, who was 'in service in tondon,
could afford postage as little as herself ;: tibat
ace every three months brother and sister
respectively sent each other a blank letter,
which was refused and finally returnee to
the Dead-letter Office ; that the arrival of
this empty missive intimated the health of
the party sending% the direction being in his
or her handwriting ; and that, his thoughts
directed by this incident to the defects of the
postal system, Rowland Hill then ,devised
his' scheme for a general penny postage;
There is-.some truth in this anecdote, we
believe ; but the incident really dates early
in the present century, and is recorded by
Coleridge, in one of his numerous and
desultory autobiographical revelations, as
having occurred to himself at Keswick. But
Coleridge, opium -eater and day-dreamer,
drewnothing useful from the fact ; Retv
land Hill, a practical' Man, drew from it
that boon to society—cheap postage.
- When Victoria succeeded to-the British
crown, at midsummer, 1837,, there were
11,000 parishes 111 England and Wales, and
only 8)00 post offices: I fourth of the
population were entirely destitute of postal
accommodation. Four-hundred of the Re
gistration districts; the average extent of
which was nearly twenty square miles,
were without a post office. In 1839 the
number of chargeable letters was in the
proportion of four a year to each person of
the population of England and Wales ;
Wee in Scotland, and one in Ireland. In
1864 the proportion of letters is twenty
four a year to each of the population of
England and Wales, nineteen in Scotland,
and nine to Ireland. The increase from
76,000,000 - letters in 1840 to 600,000,000
in 1864 is really an increase of. nearly
700 per cent. A stamped envelope was
used at first (consisting of a very
absurd allegorical group ; said to have
been improved by Mulready, the emi
nent painter, from a • drawing by Queen .
Victoria
. herself 0 but this was super
a
seded, in few months, by a stamp called
"The Queen's Head," •from its bearing a
medallion-like profile of Victoria. Com
pylsory prepayment, which was begun in
England, has become the rule in the many
countries which have adopted Hill's Postal
Reform. This reform, which went. into
operation in England on: January 10th,-
1840, was not adopted in the United States
until July 1; 180. There never. has been
any Charge in England' for the delivery of
paid letters. Here, however, with re
markable injustice, while a three-cent
stamp would make a letter postage free
for 3,000 miles, the.person-to-whom it was
addressed had to pay' an extra two cents
for delivery—and this,
_even if he lived
next door to the post office. This was al
ways- complained of, but never remedied
until within the last two- years. Mr. C.
Walborn, postmaster of Philadelphia, who
has suggested numerous practical improve
ments ,a the postal system, succeeded, with
no small difficulty, in obtaining the Con
gressional abolition of the two-cent exac
tion on each free letter. Nor should his
fellow-citizens forget his services in this
and in other matters connected with the post
office.
At present, making our estimate from
a "Catalogue of Postage Stamps, American
and Foreign" (published by Sever 85
Francis, Cambridge), the postage-stamp
system has been adopted in all parts of the
world, by ninety different kingdoms, states,
provinces, colonies, islands, and free cities:
in fifty different parts of Europe ; in over a
dozen parts of Asia, including China ; in
some twenty parts of the New World ; in
every province of British North America ;
in twenty of the West India" Islands ; in
seven parts of Africa ; and even in- St. He-
lena on one aide and the Sandwich Islands
on the other. There are postage-stamps
used in Ceylon, but the Japaneie had not
yet adopted them. As for.the different va
rieties of these stamps, their number is le
gion. We believe that there are as many
as eight hundred different postage-stamps
now in use all over the_world. •
They little volume named above, published
last year; contains names and deaariptions
of all the stamps then ' in use, but
their number is increasing, for new
varieties are constantly being added.
The English priced Catalogue (W.
Lincoln's), handed to us by Messrs.
Penington, does not profess to be a com
plete " List of English, Foreign,! and Co
lonial Stamps." Its curious feature is that
it gives the market price of these articles:
For, as our readers well know, there has
been, of late years, a -gentle mania, in
various countries, for collecting postage
stamps, and there are places, in the leading
cities, where postage stamps are bought
and sold. Indeed, there is a 'Change in
London and another in Paris, where the
stamps, used and unused, are sold and
swapped. It would probably take
.$BOO, at
--least, to obtain a Complete collection.
The English catalogue simply names the
Original value of the stamp, Us color,- the
place of issue, and the piice—distinguishing
'Whether used or unused. The price varies ;
for example, an used two-cent Antigua
stamp sells for four cents in London, while
an used one-cent or Sreuzer orange stamp
of Austria is placed at twelve cents. Oddly
enough, a blue nine Sreuser stamp (the
Kreuzer is not worth one cent), sells for
two cents. Sometimes even the unused
stamps are soldat half their value at home.
Generally an unused stamp of any country
'can be purchased, in the London market,.
for double its native denominated value.'
But the prices vary very much—an used
one-sent Baden stamp sells at twenty-four
cents, and a seventeen-cent of Canada for
only four cents.
The stamps of the Secessionists run high
in market value, probably because they are
likely to become short-lived and scarce.
An used five-cent stamp, with Jeff Davis'
head, brings twenty-four cents, and a five—
cent New Orleans stamp (used) sells at
forty-eight cents. The original 31 - already
envelope, first price two cents, brings
thirty-six cents in London, where it origi
mdly was made. There seems to be a pretty
large supply of our U. S. stamps in the
London market, at fair prices. There also
is a curious collection, thirty-nine in all, of
local postage Stamps ; among these ;we find
the one-cent Blool's City Despateh bring.
_ing twenty-four cents.
The color of the various stamps is as va.
rious, almost, as their assigned value. They
qtre red, rose, green, blue, orange, yellow,
black,: brown, light brown, cinnamon,
gray, lilac, white, pink, stone, carmine,
mauve, marine, violet, vermillion, choco
late, scarlet, pale violet, olive-green, eme

nearly right angles with the longer aides, runs or
rather creeps a stream through an artificial chan

about ankle deep, and near the middle of the en
closure, spreading out into a swamp of about six
acres, tilled with refuse wood, stumps, and debris of
the camp. Before enteringthisenclesure the stream
or more properly sewer, passes through the camp of
the guards; receiving from this source, and others
farther up, Li-large amount of the vilest material,
even the contents of the sink. The water is of a
dark color, and an ordinary glass would - collect a
thick Iredimerlt. This was our only drinking and
cooking water. It was our custom to it as best
we could, through_ our remnants of haversacks,
shirts, ainiblcinses. •

Two surgeons Were at one time sent by President
Davis to Inspect the camp, but a walk through a
small section gave them all the •InfOrmation they
desired, and we never saw them again.
The guards iv:tinily numbered . about sixtrfour—
eight at each end, and.rwenty-four on a aide. On
the outside, within' hree liundreid yards, were forti
fications, on high ground, overlooking and perfectly
commanding ns, mounting twenty-fottr 12-pound
Napoleon Parrott!. We were never permitted to
go outside; except -at- times, In .small squads, to
gather "Dior- firewood. During the building of the
cook-house a few, who were carpenters, were ordered
' out to assist: • . •
Our only shelter from the sun, and rain, and night
dewse was what we could make by stretching over
us our coals' or scraps of blankets, which a few had,
but generally-there was no attempt by day or night
to protect themselves.
The rations consisted of eight ounces of corn bread,
(the cob being ground with the kernel,) and general
ly sour, two ounoed of ccSidemned pork, offensive in
appearance and smell. Occasionally, about twice a
week, two table•spoortaby of rice, and in place of the
pork the Same. amount (two table-spoonfuls) of
molasses was given ,ns about twice a month.*
This ration welt brought into camp ibout four.
o'clock P. M., and thrown from the ttragons• to
the ground, the men being , arrimged in divisions of
270, subdivided into squads of nineties and thirties.
It was the custorp,to conanme the .whole ration at
once,- rather thith Save' ny for the next - day. The.
distribution being often unequal, some would lose
the rations altogdher: We were'aftowed no :Usher

It being either Wilma-to be toucked,or too raw to be

treste, Very few- bad shoes of any kind ; not 2,000
had coats and pants, and those were late comers.
More-than one•half

Many were naked.
The usual punishment was to place the men
in -the stooks,- ibutside,. near the captain's quar
terly. If a man was missing at rollcalli the
squad oi ninety to, which he Milonged was deprived
or the ratitit. The "dead-line" ballot, already re
felled to, spared no offender. One poor fellow, just
from Sherman's army, his name was -Roberts, was
trying to Wash his face near the " dead-lino" railing,
when he.slipped on the clayey bottom, and fell with
his head just outside the fatal border. We shouted
to him,- but it was too late—" another guard would
have a furlough," the men said. It was a com
mon belief among our men, arising from state
resets made by the guard, that General Winder,
in command, Issued an order that any one of the
guard who should shoot a Yankee outside of the
• o dead-line" should have a month's furlough, but
there probably was no truth In this. About two a
day were thus shot, some being oases of suicide,
brought on by mental depression or physical misery,
the poor fellows throwing themselves or madly
rushing outside the
The mental condition of a large portion of the
Men was-melancholy, beginning in despondency,
and tending to a kind of stolid and Idiotic indiffer
ence. Many spent much time In arousing and en
couraging their fellows, but hundreds were lying
about motionless, or stalking vacantly to and fro,
quite beyond any help which could be given them
within their prison walls. These cases were fre
quent among those who had been imprisoned but a
short time. There were those who were captured at
the first Bull Run, July, 1881, and had known Belle
Isle from the first, yet had preserved their physical
and mental health to a wonderful degree. Many
were wise and resolute enough to keep themselves
occupled—Aome in cutting bone and w end ornaments,
retaking their knives out of Iron hoops—others in
manufacturing ink from the rust from these - same .
hoops, and with rude pens sketching or imitating
bank notes,
or any sample that would involve long
and patient execution.
Letters from home very MOM reached us, and
few had any means of writing. In the early sum
mer a large batch of letters—five thousand we wore
told—arrived,, having been accumulating some•
where for many months. These were. brought
Into camp by an officer, under orders to collect ten
cents oneach ; of course most were, rettarned, and
we heard no more of them.. One of-my companions
saw among them three from his parents, but, he was
tillable to pay the charge. Atroording to the rules
of transmission of letters over the lines, these let
ters must have already paid tea cents each to the
rebel Government.
The proportion of deaths" from starvation, not in
's:finding those Consequent on the diseases originating
in the character and limited quantity of food, such
ae diarrhoea, dysentery, and scurvy, I cannot state,
but to the best of my knowledge, informatipn, and
belief there were scores every mouth. • We could at
any time point out many for whom each a fate was
inevitable, as they lay or feebly walked, mere skele
tons, whose emaciation exceeded the examples given
-in Leslie's -illustrated for June 18, 1864. For ex
ample, in some cases- the inner edges of the two
bones of the arms, between the elbow and the wrist,
with • the intermediate. blood vessels, wore plainly
visible when held toward the light. The ration in
quantity , was perhaps barely satin:dent to sustain
life, and the cases of Starvation were generally
those whose stomachs could not retain what Lad be
come entirely indigettline.
For a man to find on Waking that his comrade by
his side was dead was an occurrence too: common to
be noted. I have seen death in almost all the forms
of the hospital and battle-field, but the daily scenes
in Camp Sumpter exceed in the extremity of mi
sery all my previous mpenience.
The work of burial is - pdformed by.our own men,
under guard and orders, twenty.five, nodiets being
placed in a single pit, witbent head-boards, and the
sad duty performed 'with - indecent haste. Some-
Wiles our men were rewarded for this work with a

Our mon ani . polally the Mechanics, were tempted.
with thit , offer of libigt r y and large wages to take the
oath of allegiance to the Confederacy, but it was
very rare that their patriotism, even under stash.*
Rory trial, ever gave way. I oarry this message
from one of my companions to his mother: "My
treatment here is killing
, me, mother, but I die:
cheerfully for My country.
Some attempte wore-made to escape, but wholly
In vain, for if the prison walls and guards were

Tunnelling was once attempted on a large male,'
but on the afternoon preceding the night fixed on
for escape, an officer rode in and announced to us
that the plot was dimovered, and from our huge pen
we could see the hill above Wand the rftimentsjaet
arriving to strengthen the guard. We had been
betrayed. It was our belief t ha t spies were kept in
the camp, which could very easilye done.

STORY OF AN, ESOAFRD OONTRABAND. An

the following story of a negro who came into the
lines .a few days Since:
"I's been wi , rebs and 'soaped. I Was in Stone;
man's raid, flab, and dey slipshod us. Only two ob
us boys 'soaped. De y dug a long ditch and made
all de niggers stand in It and den day took a cannon
and fired right 'long de ditch and killed all at once.
Two hundred werePn it. Dey all fell right back In
de ditch and de robs made de Yankee prisoners
shovel dirt on
'em."
more are his words RS near as I- Can give them.
To Anglicise the story would, I think, take away
its impressiveness. The boy is dressed in Federal
uniform and has evidently been in rough service,'•
whether the shocking tale he tells can be relied
upon I don't pretend to say. To us it sounded very
much like truth.

This is a system long needed in this country, and se
the General is' not easily gotten over, the 'com
plainants got a patient hearing at headquarters,.
and if they careshow "cause why" and prover their
loyalty they get a peer without 'limitation. Other,- I

evidence of how this style of doing business succeeds;
I present the readers of The Press with a little 'ofr
mundane% Whirl took placelesterday.
Everybody, who lies ever lived or visited in this:
section of, the country, knows that a complete ark ,
• tem of blockado-runninghas been carried on along
the Ditondfe, between Washington and Harper's
• Ferry, since the commencement of the war; hence it
will be useless forme to make a new story of an old
theme. A few dayirSineentery prepossessing lady,
accompanied by nindrytvery•large trunks and bun
dles, and a ServanCwithit llttle - bidty, left the cars
at a station a few miles below the Monocacy, whore
a wagon awaited her, andlook-herself and baggage
off in the direction of the Potomac. Lieutenant
Reedy, of the. Ist Delaware Cavalry, on picket at
Urbanite., by some meary, not proper testate at Pra-,
sent, ineertained the whereabouts , of the lady, and
secured sufficient proof of her. intentions, mterched
his cavalrymen to the.house of.' a. Mrs. Jones, at
Beinestown, about tworener from the river, where
' he secured Mrs. Clarke, •IkErs: Jones, one servant
(white), smith° suspicious trunks,•ete. Ho imme
diately forwarded them to the - headqnarters of
General Tyler, where it was ascertained that
Mrs. Clarke is the daughter of Gen. Stewart, of
Baltiniore rebel notoriety. Her husband is a gap.
• tabs in the rebel army, and is now Tying wounded at
•
Staunton, Virginia. Mrs. Clarke has been 111'1411-
timore and its vicinity for Some- months, saperin
tending the forwarding of contraband goods and in
formation, and has, I judge, been very suecessful:
A few weeks since she understaxi from her friends
that our pickets had been withdrawn fronxthe lines
of the river, and she was induced to , pay-a visit to
' her much-loved but slightly-neglected Southern
"Conrad." She started, and had it not been for the'
precautions taken to meet such exigencies she would
• have nu:weeded.
Her trunks and person were searched; by direetion
. of the General, by two Union ladles on a visit here,
• and Mrs.Ularke's indignation Was great at being
offered such indignities.' The young ladies, however,
persisted in their search,•bringing to lightquite a
considerable amount of gold coin (eagles, double
eagles, to.), and about two thousand dollars worth
of goods—cortining of gray cassimeres for gentle
men's wear, boots and Shoes, a splendidly equipped
medicine chest, numerous letters from sympathizing
friends, and other matters too numerous to mention.-
After the 'search was finished, Mrs. Clarke was in'
terrogated by the General on different subjects.
One man, who •had been drafted in Montgomery
• county, and had run away, was taken with , the
party. He had secured a two-horse wagon, and it
was his intention to join the "robs" on the other aide
of the river. - Mrs. Jones, 'Mrs. Clarke, the servant,
and the deserter were forwarded O. Baltimore yea
: terday, with their goods.
The lines are out for another haul; the particulars ,
I will forward in a few days.

CAMP Illisser, NEAR MCNTON,
Oolnmbia•oonnty, Pa., Aug. 31, 1884.
Supposing yon Will take an interest id some of the
doings 'of Captain Lambert's- clomping of Inde—
pendent Cavalry, I take theilbertirbrgiving you a
short history of our campaign. We were mustered
into the United States service on the 12th of July, at'
Camp Curtin, with the minimtun number of eighty
five men, recruited from all parts of the State, and
by the way, ten of them,inolnding my humble self,
from the-Quaker City. The next morning after our
mustering we were ordered, much to our astonish
ment, north instead of south, and by eieningtound.
ourselves at Bloomsburg, at which delightful place.
we bivouacked and remained for a week, feeding on.
the fat of the land, in the shape of pies, cakes,
apples, bread, butter, and cold meat., most of it:
brought toilet voluntarily by the citizens and say.
rounding farmers. We lay three weeks at Harris.'
burg previous to our mustering, and did not fare
half so well. At Biciomsburg we learned that our
Mission was to go up near Lucerne county and en
force the draft. The people told. us terrific. stories
Of forts and breastworks, garrisoned with well
armed desperate men, to the number of four thou
sand. This nrimber was said to be composed of de
sorters, bounty jumpers, and Copperheads, who had
sworn to fight to the death sooner than submit to
the doming draft. Before the week was over we
were joined by three cOmpanies - of thieeyears In.
fantry and a section of Hastings , Battery, hundred
days men, like ourselves, and left Bloom, as it is
called, on Sunday morning, August 21st, marching,
on our road, to Benton, through Lightstreet,
Orangeville, and Stillwater. In the first and last
of those towns we were noticed by the people, with a
little water and bread ; but at Orangeville they had
a grand dinner set out for us, which the command-
ing officer of the force, Lieut. COL Stewart, would
not allow us to stop and eat. Our March was
through abeautifully mountainous country, abound•
ing in splendid views, and in winged game of every
variety, the road being all the way along the borders
of Fishing Creek.
.A bout noon we halted and encamped in a grove
till morning, during which time we discotered that
the people were becoming more and more opposed
to the Administration as we advanced, though they
tried hard to conceal their robellious sentiments un
der Union cloaks.
On the 22d we encamped at our present place of
abode, on very low ground on the border of Fishing
Creek, and half a mile from Benton. Here we have
remained quietly ever since, mixing with the Inha
bitants of the country, and drawing our own con
thisions concerning their polities, until last night,
when it was whispered about camp that we wore
.shortly to make some arrests. Accordingly, about
midnight we were aroused from sleep and ordered
to equip ourselves and our horses in light marohing
order, as quietly as possible. This was done at once,
and the company was sent off in squads of a dozen
men each, as fast they were ready. By the captain's
order, I went in the last squad, which consisted of
the captain, three sergeants, three corporals, and
four privates—assuredly a squad of °Moore.
We started at four o'clock, and took the direct
route to Cambra, the hotbed of mutiny in this re:
gion, and arriving there after a. march of four and
a half tulles, proceeded to the house of Mr. James
McHenry, surrounded it, called him up, and politely
:informed him that Colonel Stewart would like to
see him, and that I, with three guards, wouldoscort
him to the proper place for an inter:dew.. He was
badly frightened:at first; but soon regained Ids sal&
possession, and having borrowed some driving gear
'froin a friend, jumped into his wagon alongside of
me and started for camp. He hi:charged, ft is said,
-With aiding, abetting, and enchuraging resistance
to the laws. On arriving here I placed him, by or.
'der, in a church a short distance from Benton, in
• company with about one hundred other prisoners,
Who were arrested at the same time in different
pine of the country, and for the same offence.
There they remain, and as we are happily over this
first episode in our onehundred-days' experience, I
dose my epistle until future events of interest shall

To the Editor of The press :
SIB: The suggestions embodied in a brief article'
under the above heading on your outside to-day, are,
in their hearings on the revenue of the Government,
too important to be passed lightly over. That the
evil exists which is so clearly set forth In the com
munization of "An Old Importer," no man whose
business relations bring him in contact with the
class of traders named can for one moment doubt.
Assessors of internal revenue and the various col
lectors of the same know it to be true, but are either,
powerless to act or indltl erent as to the result.
The Government treasury Is annually robbed of a
large amount of revenue, and an unjust preponde.'
ranee of taxation placed upon those who honestly
and In good faith snake their returns of profit based
Upon the money of the country.
Every business man and manufacturer may, with
the same justice and arguments as the importers,
reduce his annual profits to a gold battle, and pay Ids
per centum on that. Would this provide a revenue
to sustain the country-at this trying time lorle it
in accordance with the spirit or letter of the law 1
I am, sir, respectfully, JUSTICE.

Tim Tinsel ox rAItITAGUT.—The London Ames
o f August 20, in an editorial on the latest War neWli,
Says of AdmiralTarragat
Admiral Farragut bas been the most suocessfill
of all the Federacoditinn. Ills achievement In the'
present case i 5,11.3 we have said, precisely similar to
his operations at New Orleans, although the strng
gle in ti Is instance lies been far more severe. In
both eases be has run the jranntlet of forts support-
ed by a. fleet. At mot Orleans the Confederates
were very ill prepared, but hie snocess in tile pre-
Sent Instance, against What we may suppose to be
the matured defences of two forts, cannot but be In
structive to us at a time when we are occupied . with
a scientific contest between ships and guns. It
would seem that where the passaged a fleet cannot
be obstructed, it can always^ run the gauntlet of
forts at the expense of a certain amount 'of law.
The defeat of the Federals before Cearleston has
principally arisen from the facility with which tin
Confederates have obstructed the chonnels, and
have thus been able to detain the liederafileet under
the fire of their forts. We shall look with interest
for the details of this engagement; in the expeeta
tion that they will throw some light: - cm this disputed
point of naval warfare."

It Is ofibllslly made known that the Treasury D. 1 07
partment will receive In paymenti for the $31,000,0011
of United States 8 per cents. of 1881, to be awarded`
on Friday neat, the legal tender coupon 6 per cent.
notes Issued last December, with the accumulated
Intesast from let June last, when the first cou
pon upon these notes was paid. The original
issue was 6160000,000, but since the Ist June
the Departments has* cancelled of this issue
1171,02r1,677, leavllig outstanding on the 80th ult.
1013,973,423. As the notes bear only 6 per cent. in
currency, and thir steak for which it is proposed
to* receive them all .par and Interest in payment
will' beck 6 per asst. in gold, there is a good
reason to believe that a farther considerable sum
will; be- employed is Friday's negotiation, as in a
similar negotiation in June. This should relieve
all apprehension of a pressure in the money market,
growing out of the pending sale of $31,000,000 of
1881 stock. The coupon legal tenders, which the
Department thus offers to _withdraw and cancel, are
at present neither clroulated es mirreney, nor are
they held with satisfaction as an investment.

New Orleans Markets, August 27.
Ocrrrow.—The only sale reported to day was
bales strict low middling at $1.75. The supply con
tinues limited, and - holders are extremely stringent
in their pretensions. We mattes the arrival of See
bales by the Pierce, but are not aware how Dutch of
it will be placed In the market.
With the absence of later advices from the West,
there was more inquiry for Flour to-day, and hold
ers were much more stringent in their pretensions,
some asking a large advance in prices—morn than
the dealers were willing to pay—and others not
offering their supplies at all.
The sales comprised 100 Wits fine at511.25;200 bbla
old superfine on private terms ; 200 do, a different
and distinct lot, at SIESO ; 100 ordinary extra at $l3;
Several lots of from 26 to 50 bble good extra at $l3 ;
100 choice do at $13.50, and 100 at $13.75 11 bbl. The •
market closed at the outside figures, which show an
advance siqce yesterday of about $1 bbl.
Other articles of Western produce and . provisions
are very quiet and unchanged, the enforcement of
restrictions In the trade regulations having reduced
the movement down to a local retail trade.
The reported sales to-day comprised 2 hhds scraps

1,000 sacks mixed Oorn in lots, at $1 90 ; 180 ohotou
