The principal featurt In this new system consists in distribu ting, while idtrannitu on the cats, the mail mat tcr for . the different points, thereby avoiding clic &goy occosioned by stopping at post officlts on the route, for distribution. small agent will be put upon each route, and clerks - will accompany all malls for the purpose of distributing them. Not only-arc distributions made on the carilbr :al the principal stations on the line of the rail rohds before the arrival of the cars, but distribu tions fer the offices connected-with - the stations, and therefore Inc' tally for the entire district of country through which the lines are in opera tion. It Is believed thtt befare the end of the pres ent month, this kind of poSt of will bo' ran en five of the principal rollrmds of the United States, besides the route between Washington end New York, which was supplied with pmt office rare several montks ago.

The cars for these routes are probably already fur nished? and It Is expected they will be in full operation by the first of February. Their de sign is eller the most approved plan, and were to be ready by the 15th inat. • The post-ollice authorities have been actively engaged during the greater part of the year past In snaking arrangements with the various roads for the building and running of the post-office care, Tho Work Is now so fir advanced as to so cure the connection of the chief cities of the North and East, and therefore a fair trial of the railway Fostal system upon an extendel When the new ears bt.gin, their trips on the fovernl roads, such changes are to Le made in re gard to the trains as will permit all the pout office ears to be run in unison; and the mail matter distributed no board, will ho taken dlrec.t -ly from the cars of cacti of the lines to the cars Of the other lines, and thus go forward with tbe ordinary rapidity Of passenger travel. Our city, which doe, not pes-ess the best of postal facilities will be greatly benelltted,,,eVeu by being provided with postollice ears on one of Its routes, and It is to be Loped the system will be adopted on other routes on which the citizeits depend for their mall. Mall matter &email direc tions would then reach its destination much earlier thou now—in some cases several hours sooner; but generally when the distance to be levelled is a few hundred halm and more than two offices are to be pasoel through, tire gain will be a day; while regularity In the reception of the mails will doubtless be secured in a great er degree than at any timahltherto. New York city. however, Is the centre of the system, do far as it it ready to go Int o effect, and will, of course, derive t.l4c greatest advantage from it. From Chicago, railway postofilect are already in operation. The country colt and west Is nt present formed in two divisions, the boundary icing considered earth and south from Indiana polis; and cash division has its supcsintendent. Special Agent Wheeler, of the Postoffice Depart meet. is in charge of the eastern division. This Includes the territory south to Washington, and north to the lakes. Arrangements for the regu lar connection of the system now having Its cen tre at Chicago, mid the New York or Atlantic system, are In coutemplallou, and will be put Into effect at the convenience of the Depart ment at Washington. .

Effects of illicit Trade with the Insur— rectionary Statei.--Letter of General Canby. • Major General Canby, in a letter on the sub ject of trade with the insurrectionary Statese Faye: if it is canted ou in the manner and to the extent claimed by the spedulature who now contwd it, the ineviteble result, Lo his judgment, will he to add strength and efficiency to the, re bel. armies east and west of the Mississippi river, equlefilent to an addition of 50,000 men, and will stimulate Into active opposition to the me cessful prosecution of our • operations rat least 10,000 men within our Owe lines. The. cotton speenlators to the Missiseippi Valley have a pros pective hope to have an additional 'lnterest Cm every bale of cotton within the rebel Meas. They know that expeditions within the enemy's. country are followed by the captuin' of cotton or Its destruction by the rebels to &Ciente ifs flail ing into our-hands. Hence it Is to. their interest to give information to the rebels of every oatt templated movement. lie has riot aeon an expe dition into the enemy's lines without finding agents of this character in communicallmwith, the rebels, giving' them information regarding our movetnents, and nearly every clip - edition has been Soiled to mine extent in' some of Ina objects by information so communicated. Ile has now several speculators, captured In the enemy's country, swatting trial for giving Information to the enemy, but the punishment of these' men la no compensation for the evil they have moi stened, and will not!socure us from further Ma natee from the same came: The rebel armies cast and west of the Missis sippi river have been supported mainly during the last twelve mouths by the unlawful Arad* carried on upon that river. The city of New Or leans, elnce its occupation by iur forces, has con tributed more to the support !the rebel army. more to the purchase and eq Ipment of privp teem that are preying upon oar commerce, and more le maintain the credit of the ribelloveri ment in -Europe, than any other port - an country, with the single exception of Wilming ton. Gan. Canby makes this statement from (wi den:6e. He does not doubt that many ,or the ...sons engaged is traffic cif theinsttriectlontucy Stela are loyal and honOmble men, but he deer know that many of the intermediate agents em ployed are either rebels or ...unprincipled men, - or actuated only . :by;: the Mattocks' of gain. lie ,noW has papers; In — ealetfeii.:..: to the contracts made by English -houses .In Mo bile for the exportation of 900,000 bales Of cotton by the way of New Orleans, thecondl "non of the sale requiring the payments' to made in supplies, in gold, or in foreign exchange.. The net proms of three transactions are estima ted by the contractors themselves at $lO,OOO 000, and It Is easy to see how much zeal wild 'be evoked by Fonts of this magnitude. He cites this as one of many Instances which bale wine under his observation, am! to show the Ch3T3e ter of the transactions In the Mississippi Palley indicating the means by which our laws are .evaded, and bow the amount doe the rebel Goy- - aliment is converted Into foreign exchange.
