The Commissioner is very elaborate in his dis
-eussion of the question of minerals. No country
on the globe can compare with this in the posses
sion of mineral treasures everywhere developed as
the administration of the land system advances over
the broad surface of the public domain. Besides
the precious metals, with quicksilver found in such
abundance in California, which alone has yielded
since the first gold discoveries over $600,000,000,
we have regions rich in those mends in New
Mexico, Nevada, Washington Territory, and Colo
rado. Copper, tin, lead, anti coal, arc profusely
distributed over the great valley of the Mississippi,
and westward to the Pacific.
In regard to the precious metals in California,
New Mexico, IN - cpicla, Washington Territory. and
Colorado, we have not such data as will enable this
office to propose a properly guarded system by
which the Government understandingly can dispose
of auriferous, or of quicksilver lands, in a manner
that would be just to
_public and private in
terests. It is, therefore, nvt now proposed to with
draw them by legislation from the state of isolation
from sale in which the law has placed them, or
from being freely worked, as at present; yet in
this trying conjuncture of public affairs, when
multiplied demands upon the treasury weigh upon
it with unprecedented pressure, it could not he
deemed unreasonable, after the hundreds of
millions of dollars allowed to be taken free of cost,
if the Government should hereafter subject the
product of such mines to a moderate seigniorage,
which it Li believed would bear upon capital with
out prejudice to the individual miner.
In reference to lands embracing copper, tin,
lead, iron, and coal, it is suggested that where ei
ther mineral is the predominant element in the
smallest legal subdivision, such tract shall be sub
jected to public sale, according to the principles laid
down in the acts of 1846 and 1847, with the qualifi
cation that the uniform minimum shall be $2 50 per
acre at the public sale ; that thereafter they shall
be liable to private entry at same minimum, say
for two years ; ober which they shall be liable to
safe at the erdiaary minimum, but not subject to
the declining process of the graduation law. In
the geological reconnoissance of the late Dr. Evans
in Oregon and Washington ; immense discoveries of
coal fields in that region were made.. This great
industrial agent is also distributed by the liberal
hand of nature thee - eV:lout the gold. region.
The recent discoveries of coal fields net far from
San Francisco, and of that scarce and valuable
metal—tin--but few mineiof the latter having been
discovered, although known in the early history of
man, yet which is sew found to exist in the sonth•
western part of California, within thirty miles of
the sea—furnish powerful incentives to capital, pro
mising rich rewards to the enterprising. Instruc
tions, by further legal enactment, would enable
the Department to deal with these large and deli.
cate interests more satisfactorily than can be done
tinder existing laws.
SYNOPSIS OF THE REPORT OF THE POST.
MAsTIM, GENERAL.
It appears that the whole number of post offices in the
United Mates on the 30th of June, 1861, was 28,586 ; and
that the entire number of cases acted upon during the
mane peeled nits 10,638 4 including appointments made by
the President of the United States. The whole number
of appointments male by the Postmaster General, 0,215,
and the number by the President during the same pe
riod, 337.
The aggregate earnings of the different transatlantic
Stet - 1110ot , lines arming the year ending June 30, 1861,
were 094887_61
The expenditures of the department in the fiscal year
ending June 30, IE6I, :tmounted to $13,606,159 11.
The expenditures were $14,874;772.39, showin# a de
crease, in 1861, of 51,268,013.78.
The gross revenue far the year 1861, including receipts
from letter MTh:vs and front foreign postages, amounted
to $8,349,296.40.
The estimated deficiency of means for 1861, as present
ed in the annual report front this Department, December
3, 1859,
was $.5.953,424.04. Deduct the actual defi
ciency, ,5,4,651,£.60.98, and there is an excess of estimated
defielenty over actual deficiencies of 51,436,4b7.00,
The revenue from all sources during the year 1.860,
amounted to 59,218,067 43
The revenue from all sources during the
year 1861, amounted to 9.019,296 40
Decrease of rorenue for 1801
The net proce,ds from post offices in the loyal States
for the fiscal years ending June 10, 1860, 53,683,690.56,
and in 1861, 4 53,801,487.08—5h0wing an increase in 1861,
of $112,796.52.
And in the disloyal States, in 1860, 5820,546.51, and In
1561, $017,100 10—thowinso decrease it. 188.1., of $142,_
830.81.
The decrease is 1861 front the net proceeds of 1860,
in all the States, appears to se $30,043.29.

The estimate of the total expenditures for 1.603 is
coutewhat lees than those of previous years, heretofore
submitted. This difference arises from the fact that only
partial estimates are tootle fur the cost of postal service
in States where it i, now suspended.
The Itippropriation for deficiencies in 1862 was Ss,_
391,150.63, while the amount estimated to be requird
from the 3 rem,nry, for 1563, is $3,615,000.
who's number of ordinary dead letters received
and examined during the year was about zooo,ctoo.
The number of these letters containing money, which
were registered and scot out during the year ending
June 20, )S6l, was 10,580.
The number or dead letters returned unopened to fo
reign countries during the fiscal year was U 1,147, which,
added to the number of domestic lettere (BASSO) aunt
Out as above, gives the whole number cent out front the
Dead Letter office for the year, 215,033.
The result of successful investigation in 7,560 cases
confirms the past experience of the Department that the
failure of a letter to reach its destination is, in the vast
majority of the fault alone of the writer or
'leader.
Out of the above TAW valuable dead letters, 3,095 were
directed to the wrong office, 467 were imperfectly ad
dressed, 612 were directed to transient persons, 257 to
parties who had changed their residences, b2l were ad
dressed to fictitious persona or firms, 113 were uncalled
for, 10 without any direadm 2,130 were nut mailed for
want of postage clauses, 79 were mis-sent, and, for the
failure of postmasters to deliver, 133 no satisfactory rea
won was assigned. The Department, therefore, can math'
be held responsible for the non-delivery of but 212 of
these lettere.
Muth other rainablo data is given on this subject, and
it is worthy of remark that out of 76,i69 letters, before
alluded to,
originating in the loyal States, and addressed
to residents of disloyal States, 40,000 could not be re
turned, either because the signature of the writer was
incomplete, or because the letter contained no clue to
his residence. The experience of the Department allows
that a large 'proportion of domestic letters, written by
educated persons - , and particularly by women, are defi
cient in one or both of these respects.
In view of these and other facts, the Postmaster
General suggests that valuable dead letters, when re
turned to their owners, should be charged with treble
the ordinary rate of postagei comprising one t.atk fop
return transportation to the Dead Letter office, one rate
for registration there, and one rate for return tran.sperta.
Lion to the writers or owners.
A treaty with Mexico has been concluded, awaiting
the ratification by Mexico, establishing a common inter
national rate of twenty-fire relate on tatters, with ether
useful
.trovilions.
The Postmaster General has accepted the offer made
in 1857 by Great ttritain, for a reduction of the inler
national rate beta een the two countries from twenty-four
to twelve cents, which, however, has not yet none into
operation, as it awaits the response of the British office.
--- • • •
The above abstract presents merely a few of the points
of the impsrtant report.
The Postmaster General gives at length his reasons for
the change of contracts for disloyalty. Not only was it
umiak, he aitYs, to entrust the transportation of the mails
to a person who refused or fatted to recognize the sanctity
of an oath, but to continue payment of public money to
the enemies of the Government and their allies was to
give direct aid and eomfortto treason in arms. We could
not thus permit this branch of the Government to con
tribute to its own overthrow.
The Poetnuterter General also gives his reasons for ex
cluding disloyalpublicatiuns from the mails. To await
the results of slowjudicial prosecution was to allow crime
to be consummated, with the expectation of subsequent
punishment, inetead of preventing its accomplishment,
by prompt and direct interference. Of the cases pre
sented for his action, upon the principles which he
names, he has, by order, excluded from the mails twelve
of these treasonable publieations of which several had
been previously presented by the Grand Jury a, incen
diary and hostile to constitutional authority.
While the Postmaster General did not claim the autho
rity to suppress any newspaper, however disloyal and
treasonable its eontente, the Department could not he
called upon to give them cironlation. It could not,
and would not, interfere with the freedom secured by
law ; but it caul,L and did, obstruct the dissemmination
of that license which was without the pa'e of the consti
tution and law, The mails otitaldidimd bF #lle Vititoti
States Government could not, upon anyknown principlee
of law or public right, be used for its destruction. As
well could the tenmein carrier be required to transport a
machine designed for the destruction of the vehicles con
veying it, or on innkeeper be compelled to entertain a
traveller whom he knew to be intouding to commit a rob
bery in hie home.) ,
lie finds these flews supported by the high autherity
of the late Chief Just' 'se Story, of the Supreme Court of
the United States, Wiletn opinion he quotes.

I THE CAPACITY OF THE FAIRMOUNT WATER
W o n xs ,,...Th e extension to these works should
have been completed two months ago ; but it has
; unfortunately been delayed by a variety of circum
stances—the chief difficulty being to have the ma
chinery prepared is time. A portion of it, it will
be recollected, was destroyed some weeks ago by
11,6 boiler exp'adon at Messrs. L P. Morris it Co.'s
works. The destroyed castings, however, have
been replaced, and all the machinery is now in po•
sition in the structure.
308,871,90
636,061,42
76,560,45
The erection of the roof has consequently been
dethmebeell, and will bo completed in attest or two.
It consists of wrought-iron girders in connection
with a series of brick arches, which latter are
compactly cemented together, and, having a rise of
but eight or ten inches, are perfectly secure. The
girders are supported by six iron columns, arranged
along the centre . of the building. The channels
formed at the abutments of the arches, extending
north and south, are filled in with the spoils of stone
1180 d in building the walls Over the whole sur
face a uniform layer of cement le :Tread, upon
which a stratum of gravel it next 41eFe.iteri. Trio
flag-sdates are being cut to the required shape, and
as soon as they are sot the promenade will be
finished. In dimensions it will be 113 feet by
eighty-five, and will be surrounded by a neat mar.
ble balustrade.

Much has been said of the capacity of the new
works, but its real extent is comprehended by com
paratively few. The old water-works have nine
wheels, whose aggregate discharging capacity is
11,4)110,000 gallons per twenty-four hours. All of
them are of course stopped at high tide, and during
freshets.
The new works have but three wheels, while
their discharging capacity per twenty-four hours
will teach 15,000,000 gallons.
A million gallons of water make an almost in
conceivable volume; and yet, we are informed by
Chief Birkenbine, that at the recent burning of St.
Paul's Church, in Christian street, over a million
gallons of water were poured upon the thanes
fifteen fire-plugs beipg open two and half hours,
and thirteen steam add four hand-engines being in
service. In the effort to extinguish the dames
which destroyed the Craig Mills, a few weeks
since, two and a quarter million gallons of water
were consented, twenty•eight plugs being open
three and a half hours. Hence, it may readily be
perceived that there are abundant means of con
suming the twenty-nine million gallons of water
which are hereafter to be pumped into the Fair
mount reservoir
The new and handsome tower, built in the Nor
man style of architecture, into which the three 30-
inch mains first conduct the water, that it may be
discharged into the basin, is seventy feet high, and
will be surmounted by an ornamental summer
house provided with MIS Or public accommoda
tion. Being situated immed ately opposite the
principal avenue common to the two parks, a most
beautiful view of both will be obtainable from its
summit. The steep declivity immediately met of
the tower is being sloped, at an angle of about 45
degrees, and willbe emitted. The work of filling
it in is one entailing considerable personal risk to
the laborers, as it overhangs a rocky cavern per
haps fifty feet deep, which alone remains to mark
the site of a former quarry. The plot of ground
fronting the main entrance to the tower is being
graded, considerable filling in being also here re•
quired.
MATTHIIB AT THE NAVY YAR.D.—At the pre
sent time the force of workmen "employed at our navy
yard revile§ about 2,600 men. The work of building and
repairing vessels is en much hurried that a number of the
employees work at night time, gas having recently been
introduced into the different departments. Work is also
carried on on Sundays and other holidays. Orders have
been received to build another vessel of the same size and
model as the Juniata, and the belief is that a second one
will he ordered. The Vanla/a Ia rmst Mina
p'.etion,
and, if her machinery is ready at the time she is
finished, the vessel will be launched within seventy days
after the laying of the keel.
Yestrniay morning the United States flag steamship
Hartford arrivcil at the powder magazine and proceeded
to unload her powder preparatory to coming up to the
yard. The Hartford arrived opposite New Castle on
Monday night, from the Cape of Good Slope. She sailed
from Boston in June, IMO, and arrived at Hong Kong
in October. While there, she went up the Yang-tan
kiang ricer about seven hundred miles, visiting Pekin
and other cities. She left the Cape of Good lope oa the
7th of September, and had a stormy passage from Ber
muda. The Har tford is aboilt 9,000 tons, and her arma
ment consists of 16 9-inch Dahigren guns. Sho has bean
constantly cruising about the coast of China, and while
there Captain Frederic Engle was sent out to take charge
of the squadron. He returned with the Hartford. The

ee THE BATTLE OF TUE r BILLET"--A MONT:-
MENT To its L'AVOTED—Td-morrow a monument will be
raised in the suburban village of Hatboro, in commemo.
ration of the famous "Battle of the Billet," which was
here fought. According to the biographer of Major
Andre, eighty Americans were killed in action, while
Colonel Davis' history of the battle - fixes the total num
ber of our killed and 'wounded at *kitty-flea. Our forces
were commanded by General Lacey, who willingly of
fered his life on the altar of his country.
With a view to the commemoration of that event, the
Legislature incorporated an association, known as the
Hatboro Monument Association, for the purpon or erect.
ing the monument. Bnbacriptions to tno amount of *SOO
were raised, and the monument at once ordered from a
prominent firm of this city. It is of fine Italian marble,
and twenty.six feet high. It bears suitable inscriptions
and mottoes artistically lettered, and will be enclosed
with a neat and handsome iron railing.
The village or Matboro, we may add, is one of the meat
thriving and attractive on Old York road—thanks to the
fertility of its soil, and advantageous location. It contains
seventy private residences, and about live hundred in
habitants. There are also a number of prominent public
edifices--among others, a Methodist Episcopal and Bap
-
Vet church, an academy, a library containing 7,000 yo.
lumps, three stores, and two hotels. The far-rained Peri
nypack creek skirts the village, and upon its banks stand
a mmiber of flour mills, which Yorward a considerable
portion of their produce to the city markets.
•
The ceremonies will commence at ten o'clock this morn
ing, and will contest of appropri Ste addresses by well
known speakers of promineece, and the diseatiego of 11K,
cerlent music. The programme will cloAc with an oration
by Rev. J. Bellville, at 2 o'clock P. M. An Interesting
occasion it will undoubtedly prove.
EXCITEMENT IN WILMINGTON—UNL .IWFUL
4Eirt: ICE OF An3t3.—Soma, exelk.eint..nit boo been
skated in Wilmington by the seizure of a quantity of
State arms, by a company ef regulars. Messrs. Charles
M. Allmond and Janice M. Watson being the bondsmen
for the arms, have forwarded the following petition to the
LegislatUre
Th. subscribers, citizens of Wilmington, respectfully
represent, that on or about the twelfth day of February
last, they gave bond to the State of Delaware in ac
cordance with the provisions of its laws, for two erass . six
pound cannon, with certain equipments, and fifty short
range rißes and equipments. These cannon and ritteA
were used by Company 11, Light Artillery, or which
Charles M. Allmond was duly commissioned first Beaten-.
ant), in a commodious buildingatthe corner of Front and
Tatnall streets, for the purpose of drilling said company,
every member of which was a loyal citizen, and most of
whom had taken - the usual oath, as prescribed by the
Mayor, "to sustain the Constitution of the United States,
and the Constitution of the state of Delaware, and obey
the orders of the Mayor." On tie night of the 14th or
morning of the 15th instant, a company ofUnited States
soldiers, who we understand represented themselves to
be a detachment from General Lockwood's brigade, en

Years. A number ()four Stlbseritiors, residing in the ru

pursue is firm . to set a row oi upright poets, one foot front

eight or ten feet square. Cover these with rough boards

Your delegation have the happiness to report to yen
that than the time they left the shores of America until
the remains were deposited in alumevin, no Inoldent 66

with the sacredness of their• trust. The utmost unanimi

THE NEcEserrr or A HousE or CORRECTION.
—Thy prison records show that during the coldest month
of the sinter season,Fehrtntry, the number cr commit
ments is very perceptibly diminished, the vagrants pre
ferring the better fare, warmer shelter, and more palatial
appointments of the Almshouse. As soon as
the weather
begins to moderate they aro content to return to the prose
of prison-life for variety'a sake. From April the number
grethially increases until July, The necessity of still
further accommodations for these shiftless creatures once
more suggests the advantages of a house of correction,
and it is a matter of surprise to us that such an institu
tion was not established long ago. There were 1,072 pri
soners received in the untried department of the County
Prison during November, and 978 discharged during the
same period. By a comparison of the prisms record for
November with that of October, it will be seen that them
was a falling off of 184 during last month; and a falling
off of 812 as compared with the corresponding month of
18E0.
INJUSTICE TO A 000 D OFFICER.--WC are as
sured that the item in our local column yesterday, rela
tive to the contract for making police overcoats, was
altogether unjust, so far es the chief of police or any of
his force was concerned. The °dicers of the municipal
police bare been donated $5O each, in addition to their
salaries, to procure uniforms. They halo submitted
with ranch ram: twice to be linifottiti4l at all, and the erns
ciency of the system requiring such procedure, the mayor
has been compelled to insist upon a systematic and re
gular enforcement of hie design. There has been no pe
culation of any kind, we are informed, and, for the
money, the new overcoats will he all that can be desired.
We are pleased to do justice to the chief in this respect,
for he has carefully abstained, since the period et his
inauguration, from any complicity in pecuniary matters.

THE MONEY MARKET.
PHILADELPHIA, December 3,1881.
The expected receipt of the President's message in the
course of the day had a tendency to suspend opera.
tions in a measure at the first meeting of the. Stock
Board today, and for some securities the prices were ra
ther lower. The purcheeee of hears, who were short,
and the tone of the massage, gave a slight impetus to
stocks in New York, which had the effect of stiffening
matters up a little, later in the day, and the market gene
rally was stronger at the cloee than at the opening.
