NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON. U. S. STICANISR GALENA, o:'p NEWVORT NEWS, March 8,1883 To Me Editor of The Press: Sin : One year ago today the Merrimac left Nor folk to raise the blockade of•this harbor, which ehe failed to accomplish. After sinking the Cumberland and burning the Congress, ehe: 'anchored quietly un der the guns of Sewell's Point, to lay for the night. On the morning of the 9th she came boldly up to wards the Minnesota, still aground, when the fa mous little Monitor made an attack and saved the day. Now the rebels say that they are going to take Norfolk, and their British Mende have flocked. to the harbor of Hampton Roads to witness a grand naval fight, supposed to he in prospect. But in that they will not be gratified, for the advance boats lie at Day's Point, on tne James river, and the iron clads are lying quietly at anchor above the remains of the sloopmf-war Cumberland, which so gallantly. defied them last year. Should the enemy take a notion to fight on the old battle-ground, the result Ixlll De The ditikr.,nt from Ca.& dr USA yfias. V.P. have here two of our best vessels : the good Galena, which stood the tire of Fort Darling for four hours, is afloat and ready to maintain the honor of our navy, anti the Sangamon lies close at anchor under our stern. She is A singular-looking vessel, butlike .the State ehe was built in, I think it will do honor to the country when the ball shall open. There was a sad accident hammed on board of this ship yesterday morning, about 6 o'clock. Sea man Jacob Myers was handling a rifle, and it went off accidentally, and the discharge passed through his body to the left of the heart, coining out of his back, close to the spine. He was sent to the hospi tal at Norfolk for treatment, but he Is not expected to recover. He has friends living in Baltimore. He was a brave man and a dutiful son, and his widow ed mother will min his care. He was about twenty three years old. On land at Newport News we have the 9th army corps laying at anchor, and stunk in the mud; but we hope when spring opens they may make a move and take Richmond.

Ps the Editor of the Press, SIR: As to be misunderstood by the public is a matter of grave importance to me, I hope you will permit me to correct some mistakes of your reporter. My embracing "the doctrines of women's rights," was the cause, not the result, of my conducting a progressive paper in Pittsburg. The rights I have ever advocated are the right of slave women to the ownership of their own persons; the right of all women to hold property, and control the proceeds of their own industry. As the Legislature of Penn sylvania, three years after the commencement of my mdvocacy of these property rights, - enaoraerl_the. Soundness of my position, by passing laws securing them, and as every loyal paper in the States !now advocates the right of personal ownership, the time for sneering at the earlier advocates of these rights might have gone by. My only connection with the Bloomer costume was that of steady opposition, from Bret to last, as an innovation at once unwise and unwomanly. Ihave never had any more ambition to wear pantaloons then I now have to rival your reporter in wit and acumen. As your readers are, no doubt, aware of the general features of the Indian massacre, they will have detected Ma strange misunderstanding of facts and names; but he is right in saying that the people of Minnesota do not recognize the right of the President to pardon criminals captured and tried by our State authorities, and by them found guilty of Murdering our citizens, on our own soil. If Virginia could hang John Brown:and his followers for making war upon her, why cannot Minnesota hang Little Crow and his band, for making war upon her ?

Ta the Editor of The Preis: • Sir : A recent number of the Sligo (Ireland) Champion contains some extracts from a letter re. cently published by a Mr. O'Neill Daunt, on the moral (or rather immoral) condition of Great Bri tain. His revelations will astonish the people of this country, who have been accustomed for many years past to take England's word that she was ' , the bulwark of religion, the envy of surrounding riationa, and the admiration of the world." . Mr. Daunt gives English authority for his state ments. Some of the details given by him are too horrible to be admitted into an American news paper. Infanticide, according to Mr. Benjamin D'lsraell, is as common in England as on the banks of the Ganges. The London Times in July, 1857, says • " We are shocked by the continual recurrence of attempts by women against the lives of husbands, paramours, and children. Poisoning especially, has become almost a domestic institut ion.' Joseph Hay, M. A. of Trinity College, in a work entitled "The Social Condition and Education of the People of England,” says, speaking of the burial clubs, that parents often cause the death of their children in order to obtain the premium from the societies. Dr. Lankester, one of the coroners of Middlesex, says that he believes he holds an inquest every day over the bodies of newlv-born children. In Birmingham there are upwanis of seven hun dred disorderly houses, containing from one to twelve young females each.

The Rev. Mr. Trevor, chaplain to the Bishop of Bangor, soya that the Guardians of the Poorridicule the idea that bas tardy is any disgrace. The Rev. Mr. Price, another Welch clergyman, says that he promised to return the wedding fees to all the couples whom he married, whose first child should be bop nine months, at least, after the Marriage. In six years, only one couple came for ward to claim it from him. The Scotsman, for September 27, 1860, says that Scotland is pre-eminent ;for crime and pauperism, while infanticide and perjury are by no means un common. In Glasgow there is an Infidel Club, the members of which are chiefly well•dresaed tradesmen. They recently discussed the question : "Is Atheism con sistent with the laws of nature and common sense 1 3, The speaker who maintained the affirmative uttered the moot appaling blasphemies, Yours, respectfully, Premium and Discount. To the Editor of The Press: SIR : Several communications have appeared in The Frees lately in regard to premium and discount, having reference to an article on the National Fi nances, written some time since by Hon. R. J. Walker. Will you allow an old ploughman to try his hand at the figures 1 The most direct way to determine the premium per cent. on gold, or the dis count per cent. on paper, when either is given, seems to me to be the following • The premium per cent. on gold being given, to Sa d the discount per cent. on paper. Rule—Add the premium to 100 then say, as the sum of the two to to the premium. so is. 100 to the alllCOUllt per cent. Oil MO P41)0E4 EXautPlo— , st iv mel t—, on trola io not ec ti t en_;_, na—len then, as 160:60 ioomOR; peremot. al/mount .0 paper. On Hie other helot, having the discount per cent. on paper given, to find the premium per cent. on gold : Rule—Subtract the discount from 100, and then say, as the remainder is to the discount, so is 100 to the premium per cent. on gold. Thus, as above, 100-87,432%. Then, as 6214:373; : : 100:60 per cent. prethium on gold. Again :If the discount on paper is 60 per cent., the premium on gold, by the foregoing process, will be found to be 150 -per cent., and vice versa. To determine the amount of gold that any given sum In paper will purchase, add the premium per cent. to 100 ; and then say, as the sum of the two is to 100, so is the given sum to the gum required; or subtract the diaconal per cent. from 100; and then say, as 100 is to the remainder, so is the given sum to the sum required. By either process, the figures els given by Mr. Walker are proved to be strictly -count. "Hayward , doubtless had fallen into the er ror that Mr. Walker attributes to him of confound ing discount with premium ; and " W. M.," at least in the calculation with which he has favored us, has followed him. But the important question still remains, has gold risen or has paper fallen I I have some wheat and corn to sell; the miller e'ere one dollar and sixty cents per bushel for the former, and eighty cents per bushel for the latter, which is an advance of about 60 per cent. on the prices here of a year ago.

The result has been 'more amusing than agreeable or useful. In two instances only have the addresses proved true—one of them being destitute through a unken husband and with very doubtful appear ances in the wife, while the other was a widow, entirely unworthy, though destitute from present illness.

THE DEFENCES OF CHARLESTON, AS SEEN BY AN ENGLISHMAN.—To assert that Charleston, in its present attitude, is impregnable would obviously he a ludicrous fallacy; hut it is none the less true that it could not betaken without an enormous force attacking simultaneously by sea and land, end that the attack even in that ease, would have to be conducted with desperate valor betore it could be successful. At the entrance of the harhorFort Sumpter,thoroughly repaired and mount irg enormous guns en barbette, frowns at the block aders, while the neighboring points on norris Island and blond, from which the memorable at. rack upon the fort, on trut 13th of April, lest, was conducted, are in possession of the Confederates, and are not lihely to pass out of their hands. Behind Fort Sumpter a new fort, which takes its name from General Ripley, and is built almost entirely of pal metto wood, enhances the difficulty to which ships are exposed in approaching the town. In reference to the palmetto tree—the peculiar emblem of the State of South Carolina—it should be noticed that it possesses far more valuable properties than stran gers would be apt, to imagine. Palmetto wood is much used for facing wharves and other works under water, as it is never injured by the teredo. It affords excellent material for the construction of forts, inasmuch as cannon balls soon lose their Come in its spongy substance, and while they penetrate hut little they make no extended fractures, nor do they detach any dangerous splinters. The top of the tree yields -a substance resembling cabbage, which makes an excellent vegetable, tasting much like the heart of the artichoke or like vegetable marrow. The large, thick, fan-like leaves are converted into light but durable hats. The palmetto grows only on lends adjacent to the sea, and the attempt to induce it to grow at Columbia, the seat of the State Legis lature, has hitherto been a failure. But to return to Charleston, although for obvious reasons I do not feel myself at liberty to enter into de. tails with regard to its fortifications, it may be stated that all that two of the meet accomplished engineer officers of the Confederacy—Generale Lee and Beau regard—could suggest or devise has been done to strengthen the town on its laud side. General Lee, before he was moved to Virginia and assumed his present high position, was for some time in com mand of Charleston, anti by him the first line of land defences was planned and executed. This line has grown and expanded at the inspiration of Gene ral Beauregard into a perfect network of earth works and redoubts, reaching from the Cooper river on the north to the ' Ashley river on the south. It is not likely that so scientific an engineer as General Beauregard would be fully satisfied with hie system of defences until he had spent four or five years in perfecting them.

TAre. rq iTOr 4 , 80 1 7 lo be brought against them_ 4 • 4 i I .1 In addition to the other land and sea deleting of Charleston, great credit is due to its defenders for the energy . with which they have built and equipped two large ironclad rams, which are now lying at the wharf, and are likely to be very prominently heard of if ever the long-threatened assault shall fall upon the devoted head of this "pestilent nest of sedition." Three other similar iron-clad rams are in an ad vanced stage of progress. As regards the efficieney of the blockade which clutches the throat of Charles ton harbor, it may be that nothing more efficient could; under the circumstances, be instituted by any nation ,• but if the efficiency of a blockade be tested by the frequency of the capture of ships attempting egress and ingress it is a farce to consider Charles ton, Wilmington, ' Savannah, and Mobile efficiently blockaded. Scarcely a dark night passes but a ves sel goes in or out of one of these porta ; and yet it would be difficult, so far as the number of blockading vessels is concerned, for any nation to institute a more restrictive blockade. • • s r • The success of one large Charleston firm in the blackadc-running business is no secret either North or South, and was detailed to me in full particulars many months ago in New York. My only object in alluding to this firm at present is in order that jus tice may be done to the liberality which its en lightened managers have evinced in their dealings with the Confederate Government. No ship which belongs to Messrs. Fraser & Co.—the firm of which I am speaking—ever reaches Charleston wharf without its invoice being submitted to Gen. llcaure gard, with the cost of each item fully marked, and with a request that he will select from the cargo, at his own price, whatever will. in his opinion, be use ful to the Confederate Government. It is possible that this liberality may have brought its own re ward, as it is understood that the Confederate Go vernment have paid for what they have selected higher prices than Messrs. Fraser are likely to have asked; but when it is mentioned in connection with the fact that there is no charity or public institution in the city of Charleston to which the managers of Th Arm Ili TEM' ~i big Hot IDllilllfli of AHD' AIL to ti 51 MIA tat ri7116 VAlly Wilily A% A 1 mention of their good dada. • • • r • It is hardly necessary to state that nothing has as yet been done to repair the damage inflicted upon Charleston by the terrible fire which swept from ri ver to river on December 12, 1861. From that mo ment until the present hour the fate of the city has been so doubtful that it has not been thought worth while to build up, in order that (as seemed at one time very probable) the Yankees might destroy. But the fearful havoc and devastation then inflicted upon the town, and which were at the time triumphantly pointed at by the North a 3 the work of incendiary negroes, are still awfully manifest, and place the fire of Charleston in the category of the great con flagrations of this century. There (seems every reason to believe that if the large building in Which I am now *riling—the Mills House—had caught, the fire would have swept down to the battery, and consumed all the richest and finest portion of the town.

Men and women of color suffered their own houses to be burnt without making 'an attempt to save anything, while their efforts were frantic to save the plate and linen of the white families to which they were attached as slaves.

PRUSSIA LEAGUED WITH RUSSIA TO CRUSH THE INSURGENT POLES.—No doubt is here entertained as to the fact of a convention having been entered into by the Cabinets of St Pe tersburg and Berlin with respect to the insurrection in Poland, but the terms of the agreement have not yet transpired. The Prussian military papers have been condoling with the Russian troops on being engaged in a stam gle where no glory Or credit is to be reaped ; bu nevertheless, there are persona here who would, i is thought, be pleased at seeing Prussian troops fleshing their maiden swords in so inglorious a strug gle.

A short time ago the Prussian General Von Al. veneleben was sent to Warsaw to inquire into the state of affairs In Poland, and it must be supposed that the information he obtained was alarming, as a convention for the suppression of thc Polish Insur rection has been concluded between Prussia and Russia. It is probable that this Government will be in vited to assist in restoring order" in Poland, but there is in Austria such a strong feeling in favor of the inhabitants of that unhappy country that it would be bad policy should Count Rechberg accede to the Russo-Prussian treaty. The ferment in Ga licia is great, but men in o ffi ce feel convinced that there will not be any revolutionary movements in the province, and they are, therefore, at a loss to un derstand why the Berlin Cabinet should be so alarm ed about the grand duchy of Posen.—Berlin corres pondence the London Times. HOW. THE POLISH TROOPS BEHAVE IN BATTLE.—The Wiener Zdtung contains a telegram from Lemberg, in which it is said that the Russian reports relative to the loss sustained by the insur gent corps under Langiewitz are greatly exaggerated. A certain Moreau, who purposely took a detach ment of Polish "sithemen" under the lire of a Rus sian battery, was • tried by• a court martial and hanged, by order of Langiewitz, who is now in the mountains, near St. Kays (not far from Wengrow), with 6 , 000 tolerably well armed men. Both official and private advicea confirm the statements made by the Polish insurgents relative to the barbarous cruelty of the Russians. In the neighborhood of Tomaszow, which Is not farfrom Zamuse, it Colonel R . OdYllgb hA9 committed terrible etrneities, He bed DINO ITCHOIIii lffiTlitifiV) lila find Captain Zownctsisi and Lieutenant W - nsticwain acted as executioner, the tear of the Insurgents to fall alive into the hands of their enemies makes them fight like dem on s,an tl the cruelty of the Russians has greatly contributed to spread the insurrection. The Ministerial General Correspondence /earns from Lemberg that Langiewitz has informed the Russian officer who commands the troops opposed to him, that he "by way of reprisal," has had a certain number of his prisoners shot. The organization of the in surgent bands is progressing rapidly, and the com manders of the different corps have given strict or ders to their inferiors to avoid r eg ular battles with the Russians. Pour detachments of the insurgents have managed to get from Poland into Lithuania, where they are engaged in insurrectionizing the rural districts. Two of the detachments crossed the Boug at no great distance from Brzesc•Litewski, and it must be concluded that the garrison of that fortress is very weak, as it made no attempt to mo lest the insurgents. A few days ago the Russian regiment Ismaloff crossed the Bong at Tereepol, and it is supposed that it is now quartered in the above mentioned stronghold. The Warsaw authorities deny that the insurrection has spread to Lithuania, Volhynia, Podolia, and the Ukraine, but the procla mation of the state of siege in those provinces must he considered proof positive that the Grand Duke Constantine and his ruthless Adlatus Bay the thing which is not. FRENCH SYSTEM OP MAINTAINING HORSES—The Monfteur de 1 'Arndt says : "It is well known that, after the war in Italy, the surplus number of draught horses - and mules of the artillery and engineers , and wagon trains were, by order of the Emperor, placed in the hands of farmers, to be employed in agri cultural operations until the exigencies of the service might again call for them. More than one thousand mules were diaimaed of in that manner. Decent ;yenta having compelled .the Government to can them ra tt mo fdailillal nlmlater or Bar gave 01 - 1 ders that all the animals should be returned by the farmers to the respective corps by the lath of July last. That operation was accomplished with as much regularity as promptitude, and almost all the mules are in a state to be employed in active ser vice. More than one half of them have already been attached to the batteries of artillery leaving for Mexico, and the remainder to the wagon train. Thus, during three years, the farmers have enjoyed the benefits of an arrangement the advantages of which have been incontestable for them, while being at the same time advantageous to the real interests of the country. The care which the mules have generally received, and the promptitude with which they have been returned, at the first demand of the military authorities, abundantly prove that the farmers who have had the care of them have appre ciated at the same time .the kind. charaoter of the measure of which they have been the object, and the circumstances which have temporarily restricted its operation." A " MEDIUM " AT THE TUILERIES.—Hume, the "Medium," made another trial of his skill lately at the Tuileries, at which Professor Maury was present. None b ut the male portion of the Empo. roes guests were present atthe genet. His Majesty, who has been busily studying the question for some time past, had noted down several questions to pro pound to the mighty magician. In no one case were the proofs of power successful, and the result of the sitting wee unsatisfactory enough to give, for the moment, entire gain de cause to Maury, who pro fessed to have discovered the secret. The table rose—the candelabra flew from one end of the room to the other—the ponderous Chinese Joss of solid bronze slid, as it did once before, across the carpet as though it were skating upon ice—and yet the expert. went upon it, in the latter case, was conclusive onTigh the immobility 9f the =1 snit the do lt it. by Me fitnr, FM: Maw, slid beneath It n 1190 from his con, which must of necessity have moved banthe we ighty bronze but stirred one line. After the monster had been seen to elide across the carpet and regain its place, Prof. Maury drew the page from beneath it—unsullied, unarustied, exactly as he had inserted it but a minute before. And yet he declares that be himself was among those who beheld, and with the most amazement, too, the steady progress of the bronze towards the fireplace, and even now cannot get over the perplexity he experienced on beholding it turn around on reaching the fender and slide back to Replace behind the door. Hume, they say, has no idea himself of the power by which he acts, and experiences quite as much perplexity as vexation at beholding the new obstacle thrown by the erudition or Prof. Maury in the road to success • he was treading so gallantly a little while ago, X. Y. Z Emancipation Meeting at Liverpool. On the evening of February 20th a large and en thuelastio meeting was held at Liverpool, to endorse President Lincoln's emancipation policy, at which a number of speeches were delivered, and the follow ing address to the President adopted: AN al/DRESS FROM THE INHABITANTS ON LIVER.

SIR • Some 240 years ago a Butch man-of-war en tered ihe - .Tames river, in Virginia, and landed twenty mein slaves—the first ever imported into the contl bent of the New World. In the year 1860, by continued importations and by natural increase, that number had increased to four millions. \ These two facts describe an evil which has been ever since pressing with accumulative weight upon the honor and prosperity of your country. It Is with Mingled pain and pleasure that we re member the exi stence of negro slavery in our own' West India coldnies—with man, that England should everhave soiled per fame with that accursed insti tution—with self-gratulation, that her free Writ at length broke all the bonds of vested interests, and bade the oppressed gt t But our elovcry Ives only colonial. it did not pol lute the life-blood of the people at large by actual contact. At home it was regarded as much, in the light of an error of our statute-book as the crime of our nation. It occupied but a small portion of Eng land's vast poseesetone, and did not affect the organ ization of labor anywhere else. The Interests of a elan were identified with its maintenance, but not those of the• whole mercantile community. Even thus limited. Englishmen still blush to think it was ever permitted within the realm. • But the slavery of the United States is, and has berm a far greater calamity both at home aid abroad. . The area of ita occupation is immeasurab ly wider, the number of its victims far greater, while it has become so thoroughly identified with national life in the South as to be always styled the domestic institution. And if, on these accounts, the difficulty of its abolition be greater, so also is the danger of its maintenance. The trainers of a Constitution which was express. !yr designed to " secure the blessings of liberty," in an evil hour recognized, from motives of expediency, an institution which they too readily believed would speedily die out, Could they have foreseen the time when, so far from perishing, it would have been en dued with more vigorous life—when their descend-. ants would not only seek out new territory for its extension, but would even carry it beck in Knoell nous triumph to lands whence, by a feebler govern ment hut with more enlightened policy, it had been expelled—how would their • noble' hearts have been dismayed at such sad degeneracy! But so it has been. The peculiar adaptability of southern soil to the growth of cotton, combined with mechanical ingenuity in simplifying the process of its nienufacture, has not only given a larger value to the labor of the negro, but has created an inter state slave trade, from which the Fathers of the Re volution would have turned away in disgust. The Presidential chair, and all the. higher offices of State, have, during a long succession of years, .been occupied, with hut' few exceptions, by.slave owners. The influence of the Government has been riven to the extension and protection of slavery. AO IMO it iu true Hint cool] Mtn In Min Union.

Worse than all, several of the slave States have brokcn out into open rebellion for the avowed pur pose of founding an empire to be indefinitely ex tended, and based upon the perpetual organization of slavery, as the natural condition of the negro race. To the national participation 'in the guilt of slavery, one party in your country have always been opposed, With a holy and devoted enthusiasm they have tended the lamp of freedom in full faith that sooner or later it would scare away the darkness. Every fresh exaction of the slave power has only served to deepen their earnestness, augment their numbers, and increase their influence ; and the nation has at length awakened to a sense of ire re aponsibilities. Your own election to the chief ma gistracy was an evidence of its determination that involuntary servitude should, at all events, never exceed the limits it had then attained. And here we canto mind your own words : "I have always hated slavery. • • I believe the Government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free." No longer harassed by those sectional pro clivitiee in the Cabinet which formerly prevailed, and pursuing a strictly constitutional line, Oongresa has abolished slavery in the District of Columbia and throughout the territories of the United States. It has recognized as sovereign States the republics of Hayti and Liberia, and it has conceded to Eng land the long withheld right of search, thus render ing a treaty for the suppression of the slave trade something better than an empty form. Constitutionally armed with powers derived from Congress, you, sir, as President of the United States and commander-in-chief of the national forces, have forbidden the return of fugitive slaves seeking re fuge within the lines of the Federal army.

WEE BOURBONS A.ND.PRINCIE NAPOLEON. seems* - that twenty - two Italian Bourbonista were, through the mediatiou- or leweki, invited to the Empress' last ball. .When the Italian Ambassador, Chevalier Nigra, heard of the invitations. be at once wrote to the Due de Bassano that "sudden indisposition" would prevent him from having the honor of waiting upon her Majesty. All his Legation sent notes to the same effect. M. Nigra told Prince Napoleon what had happened, and the Prince thereupon informed the Duo de Bassano, in no measured terms, that he considered it an in sult to his wife to ask her to meet the notorious ene mies of her father, and that neither he nor the Princess Clothilde would attend either the ball or the grand dinner that was to precede it. In order to better mark hie absence from the Tuileries, Prince Napoleon took his wife to dine that day at the Troia Freres, and left such a handsome gratuity with the waiters as will ftx the visit in their memory.

McOall, secretary of the Lisburn relief fund, in which an appeal is made to the generosity of Philadelphia merchants to assist in alleviating the famishing districts of Ireland. The letter concludes: You will see by the reports in the papers I send with this that the war on your side of the Atlantic has created great distress among the cotton opera tives In this quarter. Are there any other Lisburn folks besides yourself in the city on the Delaware 1 If so, perhaps you could raise a few pounds for us. Everything helps in such a calamity. All the suffer ing said to be endured by the Lancashire people would fall abort of those borne in this part of Ire land. Dr. R. Shelton Mackenzie addressed the association briefly. He stated that the want of a supply of cot ton and the cessation of operations by the manufac turing establishments had brought about the deepest distress. In 1860 there were 20,000 men engaged in weaving, and 80,000 girls at work on muslin em broidery. These people are now unemployed and destitute. Their chief support is boiled turnips, with occasional lots of cabbage or oat meal. If they get Indian meal twice a day they consider them selves fortunate. They have mostly disposed of their clothing, and their beds are mostly of straw, Their condition is frightful—the people there were aetually starving. Mr. E.Q. James said that if a committee was ap ,t.i.L..l load n vomsci sae acme a cargo of in-ewiotutii, wati provisions to Itelfrost or any other port in Ireland where it was most wanted. He would guaranty. to raise five thousand dollars in twenty-four hours. He moved that a committee be appointed to take active measures to carry out the project. The motion was unanimously agreed to, and the president appointed the following committee : Edward G. Tames,,George Raphael, George A. KeKinstry, 'Charles Knecht,- Hugh Craig,'Edmund A. Solider, Alexander R. McHenry, 'Thomas O'Neill, Chriallan J. Roffman, 'Jos. Wm. Miller. Dr. R. Shelton Mackenzie , • THE MAILS, POSTAGE, AND THE POST OPTICE.—The new act of C,ongrer3 respecting the regulations of the Post Office Department makes some salutary changes, many of which are radical. The maximum weight for the single rate of letter postage is one-half ounce avoirdupois. The rate of postage on all domestic letters not exceeding one half ounce shall be uniform at three cents ; and for each half ounce, or fraction thereof, of additional weight, an additional rate of three cents, to be in all cases prepaid by postage stamps. Drop or local let tere, two cents per half ounce, prepaid by stamp ; and no carrier's fee shall be charged or collected upon letters delivered by them, nor upon letters coL Jested by them for mailing or for delivery.

Letter rates are to be charged on irregular matter, part written and part printed, except that publishers may send and secure proof-sheets and advisepatrons, by writing on their papers, when their subscription is up, at printed-matter rates. On unclassified mat. ter, where no specific rate is set down, letter postage is charged. Weekly newspapers are free within the county in which they are pUblished. Magazines is sued leas frequently than once a week pay one cent for four ounces to regular subscribers. Letters must be advertised in newspapers having the largest circulation within the special district. The postage on returned dead letters not registered as valuable, is three cents; double those rates if re gistered.

TILE REMOVAL OF ASIIES.-110 old method of removing ashes in open carts has long been the source of much complaint. Mr. Smith, the contractor for cleansing the streets, in order to sur mount this difficulty, has had construoted a number of wagons expressly for hauling ashes. The,vehicles are light and covered, and provided with a gong, two or three strokes of which will he the signal of THE PRESI3.--FRTIADkriII its approach, so that housekeepers will have time to place their ashes - on - the sidewalk.

The duty of the aarirtants is to load the wagons promptly. AB each wagon is tightly covered, hut little of the *shell will he blown shout. Mr. Smith, the contractor, hiss also built wagons for the removal ,of street gar bage, the ones now in use being ,entirely unfit for that purpose. as about one half the dirt is lost along the streets before the wagon is dumped. This is a reform in the syatem of etreetcleanning that has long been needed, and one that will be hailed with delight by our citizens.

INT ORTANT TO Sill Vl'llll9-TIIE COMMUTATION Francis R. Shipper, Abram Detweiler, and Isaac Detweiler, trading as Shipper & Detweiler, vs. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company. • This was an action brought to recover back the. excess of freight paid by plaintitils to defendants upon certain shipments of grain and flour from Pittsburg to Philadelphia. The plaintiffs are mer chants in this city, and have been in receipt of a number of these shipments over the railroad. The grain and flour came from Wheeling, and was load ed at Pittsburg for Philadelphia by the company. The act of 17th March, 1861, known as the commuta tion of the tonnage tax act, stipulates that the com pany shall charge upon goods carried between Pitts burg and Philadelphia according to a certain scale of tolls, the fourth class of goods • being rated at 40 cents per 100 pounds.

They charge that while they were paying this excessive rate, other parties in Pittsburg were shipping goods at ower rates. The answer set up by the railroad company is sub stantially as follows: Prior to thepassage of the com mutation of the tonnage-tax act the products of the State were so discrinunated against that in many cases it was found advantageous to ship goods out of the State westward, and then be reshipped through. The commutation act was passed to remedy this evil by removing the burden on the industry of the State. Under that act the company for some time took goods that the Pittsburg merchants bought out of the State with the intention of shipping through to the seaboard, as local freight, but they found that this gave opportunities to practice imposition on the company, and they accordingly afterwards refused to consider anything as local freight except such as was of the products of the State. The question raised is one of construction of 'the commutation act, and we roresent that section of it specially referred to in full. . At the hour of adjournment, yesterday, counsel agreed that the case should go over until this Morn ing, so that Jiastice Woodward would have time to examine the act. R. C. Mehturtrie and George M.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY AND WONDERFUL RESULTS ACCOMPLISHED BY PROF. C. H. BOLLES. 1220 WALNUT Street—The difference between fact and /alone, of permanently curing the Stiifering of their disease, and advertising to care, and showing no better evidence than offering re ference of soma persons in far-off localities, can well be appreciated by anxious seekers after health, upon atten-. lively reading the following certificates of cases from some of the most reliable gentlemen otPhtladelnhia. who were permanently cured by Prof. C. H. BOLLES. of 1220 WALNUT Street_ Facts are stubborn things. and is evidence la required for the- establishment of all facts admitting of the least doubt, and as the astonishing cures perfored by Prot BOLLES are such as no other man has ever performed in this or any other city, it seems important in the present case to offer some proof by way of certificates from some of the most reliable gentlemen of this city, and more because there are some in this city who have the auda city to claim to treat according to Prof. BOLLES' dis covery, and these same persons are really ignorant of the Positive or Negative Poles of any Electrical Machines, and therefore. - Prof. 'BOLLES has cautioned the sick fiell/fit trusting their mln finch real hula, MAO ffieNll3ll Aket Atlas. luaii WOW ifoa. rottartelphfar. The first cure leas performed throe pears at/oozed continues well to this date : About nine years ago I had aseyore attack of dyspeptic sYmpionie. Which increased on one during the whole time, and I sopcesed. and also my physicians that treated me, that my real disease was dmensia, and at first was treated for that disease. My symptoms were at first great hanger, and bad and exhansted feeling in the stomach, only when I ate often. Sometimes, however, I loss of appetite, very disagreeable nausea in the stomach, pain In the epigastram, heartburn, great tallness about the stomach, and pain through the pyloric; region; a feeling sometimes of great weight in the sto mach, collection of acidity in the stomach, fetid taste in the mouth. When the sense of hunger came on as above described, I had a sense of fluttering about the chest, and a sinking faint-feeling at the pit of the stomach, 'which was, in my first attacks, re lieved only by taking food. and many times in my walks through the streets of Philadelphia, when these sinking spells came on, I was obliged to call at some restaurant and take food, hut this only relieved me for the present time, and thus I suffered for Years under the best medi cal treatment in the city. However, my - physician at last pronounced my disease cancer in the stomach. I continued to be treated for what I was luttrmed to be a cancer tip to the time that Professor Bolles came to this city and advertised his important discovery • in the application of Galvanism and other modifications of Electricity, for the care of (as he announced) acute and chronic diseases, and more especially cancers, tumors, white swelling. .tc. I immediately called on Prof. Bolles, at• 1220 Walnut street, for advice in my case. I will here state that I considered my case a hopeless one, but notwithstanding this, my hopes were at once re vived, when Prof. B. frankly told me that he could cure me in a few days, and I am flunk in saying that in twelve or fourteen treatments I was perfectly cured. This cure to me looks mysterinns, MA will ever appear a wonder of wonders, lint to Prof. It. all seemed cer tain, as he remarked at the commencement that he knew to a day how long it would take to produce a cure. lam certain of a permanent cure from the fhct that about two years have elapsed since my cure, and I have had no myroptome of refer, r think Professor Bolles has made every iiiipOrtant Olscoyery In the application or .11.ossoo. 1,.0w of Pal nitaitao of pavasiaa has cured of the moat oriPtiooto diaoaees, acute end chronic.

Belles' discovery of the therapeutic administra tion of Galvanleen, Magnetism. and other modifications of Electricity for the care of all acute and chronic diseases, I had .been severely afflicted with Epileptic t Fits of the most obdurate character, and hail abandoned all hopes of ever being cared, as I hail for years tried the treatment and received the counsel of the most elm neat Medical Men of the States, with the view of obtain ing relief if any could be found among the Old Schools; bat all my efforts were unavailing, and, therefore, all hones were abandoned, as I then know of no greater .skill for the cure of obstinate cases than in the Old Schools. About six months ago my mind was turned 'to investigate the new discovers of Prof. C. H. Bolt les, 1220 Walnut street. end, after noticing several certificates of curets which were published, and some from persona with whom I was acquainted, and knew them to be reliable men.

After he had examined sue about ten minntes.he frankly informed me that he could cam me, and offered to give me a written warrantee of a complete care. and In case of a failure in charge me nothing. This e t fi rs t seeme d an impossibility; but the frankness and earnestness of the 'Professor convinced me of his scientific accuracy in thethediagnosisofmycase. He disclosed all my sufferings and synintoms for live years past es well as I knew them myself. I will. here state, for the good of. humanity, and especially those suffering as i was, that I am Der ' fectly cnred.
