POSTAL ITEMS FOR THE PUBLIC.
Changes under the New Law.—ln
order that our readers who are not
officially connected with the mail ser
vice may have a full understanding
of the changes in postal matters ef
fected by the new law, whioh went
into operation on the first of the
present month, we give below a con
densed summary of those of its pro
visions of which it is necessary for
persons using the mails to "take
due notice and govern themselves
accordingly."
1. The rate of postage on all do
mestic mail letters to be carried any
distance within the United States is
now three cents per half an ounce or
fraction thereof, to be prepaid by
stamps. The former rate of ten
cents to California, Oregon, and
Washington Territory is abolished.
2. All local or "drop" letters must
hereafter be prepaid by stamps, at
the rate of two cents for every half
ounce or fraction thereof, instead of
one cent as heretofore.
3. The postage on transient news
papers and periodicals, sent in one
package to ono address, is now two
cents for each four ounces or fraction
thereof, to be prepaid by stamps ; on
books, double that rate. The post
age on single-transient newspapers
not weighing over four ounces is
now two cents.
4. The rate of postage on circu
lars is now as follows: Three, or any
less number, may be sent, unsealed,
to one address, at the single rate of
two cents, and in that proportion
a greater number, adding one cent
for every three circulars directed to
one address. They can no longer
be sent at the former rate of one
cent each. No extra charge is now
made for business cards stamped or
printed on the envelopes of circu
lars.
J. J. HUFFMAN
b. The former carriers' fee of one
cent on each letter delivered is
abolished. Hereafter, carriers c ol
lect nothing, except such unpaid
postage as may be due on the letters
delivered by them.
6. The extra one cent stamp for
merly required on all letters deposit
ed in lamp post boxes and branch
stations is no longer necessary.
7. All communications to any offi
cer or department of the Govern
ment ( including the President),
written by a private citizen, wheth
er on "official business" or otherwise,
must now be prepaid by stamps.
8. A fee of twenty cents (instead
of five, as heretofore) must hereafter
be paid on each registered letter, in
addition to the postage.
9. A letter cannot be forwarded
without a charge of extra postage,
when it has once been mailed ac
cording to its original address.
The new two-cent stamps, which
have just been issued by the depart
ment to meet the demand created
by the new law, fixing the rates on
drop letters, circulars, transient
printed matter, &c., at two cents,
will soon be in the hands of most of
our readers. They are black in co
lor, and bear a finely engraved head
of Gen. Andrew Jackson—a design
especially appfitipriate at the present
time, when his well-known saying,
"The Union must and shall be pres
erved," needs to be considered as
something more practical than a mere
piece of fine sentiment. The por
trait of the old hero occupies nearly
the entire surface of the stamp,- and
the character of the engraving is
suchthat the process of defacement,
to which it must unfortunately be
subjected, is easily and effectually
performed.
A soldier's life is a hard one. It
is full of privations. It is hardly
one that would be selected by the
indolent, or the luxurious It is one
of toil and care, and no little endur
ance. Yet it, is remarkable how
well u soldier's life agrees with even
many of those we have been accus
tomed to consider effeminate.
We have personally known sev
eral young men of feeble health and
indifferent physical stamina who,
having "gone to the war," have re
turned robust, hearty, vigorous, and
substantial. Some of them whom
we certainly believed would Boon be
carried to their grave by a camp-life
have, on the contrary been regularly
built up into stalwart men by the
hardships they endured, and owe the
promise of a long and healthy life
entirely to the extraordinary change
brought about by military discipline
and duties. We dare say that there
arc cases in which; sleeping on the
ground, the fatigue of heavy march
wet clothing. a poor diet, and so
on, have exercised a different effect.
Death has visited many, no doubt,
simply because they were subjected
to such trials ; but no instance of
that kind has come under our obser
vation, while we have been an eye
witness to a number of instances, in
which sickly men have been trsna.
formed by a soldier's life into spec;
MOUS of rare manly vigor and pbyti
lad

A SOLDIER'S LIFE.
WAYNESBURG, GREENE COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1863.
THE HARDESTIMODE TO DIE.
To be shot dead is ono of the eas
iest modes of terminating life ; yet.
rapid as it. is, the body has leisure
to feel and reflect. On the first at
tempt, by one of the frantic adher
ents of'Spain, to assassinate William,
Prince of Orange, who took the lead
in the revolt of the Netherlands, the
ball passed through the bones of the
face and brought him to the_ground.
In the instant preceding stupefac
tion, he was able to frame a notion
that the ceiling of the room had fal
len and crushed him.
The cannon-shot which plunged
into the brain of Charles XII. did
not prevent him from seizing his
sword by the hilt. The idea of an
attack, and the necessity of defence,
was pressed upon him by a blow
which wo should have supposed too
tremendous to leave an interval of
thought But it by no means follows
that the inflicting of fatal viol. nee is
followed by a pang. From what is
known of the first effect of gun-shot
wounds, it is probable that the im
pression is stunning rather than
acute. Unless death be immediate,
the pain is as varied as the nature of
the injuries, and these are past count
ing up.
But there is nothing singular in
the dying sensation, though Lord
Byron remarked the physiological
peculiarity that the expression is in
variably that of languor, white in
death from a stab the countenance
reflects the traits of natural charac
ter, of gentleness or ferocity to the
last breath. Some of these cases are
of interest, to show with what slight
disturbance life may go on under a
mortal wound, till it finally comes
to a sudden stop,
A foot soldier at Waterloo, pierced
by a musket ball in the hip, begged
water of a trooper, who chanced to
possess a canteen of beer. The
wounded man drank, returned his
heartiest thanks, mentioned that his
regimenl was nearly exterminated.
and having proceeded a dozen yards
on his way to the rear, fell to tho
earth, and with one convulsive move
ment of his limbs, concluded his ca
reer. " But his voice," says the
trooper, who himself tells the story,
"gave scarcely the smallest sign of
weakness."
Capt. Basil Hall, who in early
youth was at the battle of Corunna,
has singled out, from the confusion
which consigns to oblivion the woes
and gallantry of war, another in
stance,
extremely similar, which oc
curred on that occasion. An old
officer, who was shot in the head, ar
rived pale and faint at the -tempor
ary hospital, and begged the surgeon
to look at his wound, which was
pronounced mortal. "Indeed I fear
ed so," he responded with impatient
utterance, "and yet I should like
very much to live a little longer, if
it were possible." He laid his sword
upon a stone at his side, "as gently,"
says Hall, "as if its steel bad been
turned to glass," and almost imme
diately sank dead on the turf.
WHAT EVIL ARISES FROM GOSSIP.
Gossip, public, private, social—to
fight against it either by words or
pen, seems, after all, like fighting
with shadows. Everybody laughs at
it, protests against it, or at least en
courages others in it; quite innocent--
Iy, unconsciously, in such a small
armless fashion--yet, we do it.—
We mu,t, talk about something, and
it is not all of us who can find a ra
tional topic of conversation, or dis
cuss it when found. Many, too, who
in their hearts hate the very thought
of tattle and tale-bearing, aro shy of
lifting up their voice againt it, lest
they should be ridiculed for Quixo
tism, or thought to set themselves up
as more virtuous than their neigh
bors. Others, like our lamented
friends, Maria and Bob, from mere
idleness and indifference, long kept
hovering over the unclean stream at
last drop into it, and are drifted away
by it. Where does it land them—ay
where ? If I, or any one, were to un
fold on this subject only our own ex
perience and observation, not a little
more than a volume it would make.
Families set by the ears—parent
against children, brother against
brothers, not to mention brothers
and sister-in-laws' who seem generally
to assume with the legal title, the le
gal right to interminable squabbling.
Friendship 3 sundered, betrothals
broken, marriages annulled, in spirit
at least while in the letter kept, only
to be a daily torment, temptation
and despair.. Acquaintances that
would otherwise have maintained a
safe and not unkindly indifference
forced into absolute dislike—originat
ing how they know not; but there it
is. Old companions that would have
borne each other's little foibles, have
forgiven and forgotten little annoy
ances, and kept up an honest affection
till death, driven at last into an open
rupture, or frozen into a coldness
more hopeless still which no after
grpwth will ever have power to thaw.

DIBHO!U STY .
When a man is dishonest, ho is dis
honest not only in direct ways, but
indirectly. lie is an educator of
men in dishonesty.
A man is famishing his house, and
ho goes to the store to buy a carpet.
Ho can afford to buy a cheap one;
but that will not do. His friends do
not live on such carpets, and he
must not. So he attempts to get a
better one than he can afford, and to
get it out of the man that sells it.—
Then commences the attempt to buy
something for nothing. it is a uni
versal form of dishonesty to try to
get goods below their value; and
whenever you do that, you undertake
to cheat. The man who wants to
get a thing without giving a fair
equivalent, wants to be dishonest.—
If it costs to make a hat, and give a
good living to the man that works
upon it, and a moderate profit to the
man that sells it, three dollars, and
you undertake to buy it for two dol
lars and a-half; you undertake to
cheat a half a dollar. If you attempt
to beat a iran down, and to get his
goods for less than a fair price, you
are attempting to commit burglary,
as much as though you broke into
his shop to take the things without
paying for them. There is cheat
ing on all sides of the counter, and
generally less behind it than before it.
It would be amusing, if it were not
so serious a matter, to see how peo
ple, when they go home after a tour
of shopping, exhibit and comment
upon the goods they have brought.—
Here is a piece of lace, a shawl or a
scarf; and the conversation is not
this : "The article is good, and is
suited to my circumstances and posi
tion;" but "I got it for nothing." Why
you thief! Is there no such thing as
a quid pro quo—an equivalent to be
rendered? And are you one that
wants to get a thing without render
ing a lair equivalent for it? Where
is your honesty? Dishonesty is the
inevitable necessity of extravagance.
You want a man to build you, for
two thousand dollars, a house that
shall be worth five thousand ; and
what is the result ? You teach the
man to cheat. You make him dis
honest. You drive him to the neces
sity of using poor material, and of
deceiving you by filling up holes with
putty, and covering defects with
paint. You taught him to be dis
honest, and he served you right.
though you did not serve him right
in teaching him that lesson. Where
a man wants to be further along than
ho can afford to he, he wants to live
dishonestly. And when the very
texture of society is such as to dis
courage fair dealing, and hold out in
ducements to depart from honest
mothod,it is strange that there is not
much rottenness on this subject.
THE POLISH STRUGGLE--A HEROIC
AND DESPERATE ACTION.
A paper just published by the Na
tional Government of Lithuania
states that a detachment of 800 in.
surgents, under the. command of
Vincent Koziol!, had for the last four
weeks, mowed the district of Vilei
ka, proclaiming every whex e the de
cree of the National Government
which secures to the peasants the
lands cultivated by them. The peas ,
ants gave an enthusiastic reception
to the insurgents. The Russians,
dreading the effect of this propagan
da, resolved to exterminate Koziell's
small troops at any cost. Strong
detachments of troops were conse
quently sent against it from Minsk,
Vileika, and Bouslaw. The insur
gents happened to be between the
river Ilia an 1 the breakwater of
Stayewo, constructed by the Grand
Army of 1812, when, on the 18th of
May, they were suddenly surround
ed on all sides. The detachments
sent from Vileika and Bouslaw were
drawn up in echelon along the break
water, and that from Minsk occupied
the left bank of the Ilia. There re
mained for the insurgents only a nar
row passage by crossing the river
in the direction of the great forest
which could be seen at a distance.—
In order to reach the forest it be
came necessary to direct the atten
tion of the enemy to another point.
Bozioll adopted a desperate course.
"Brother," said he, "some of us must
devote ourselves to save the remain
der. I demand 40 generous hearts
ready to die with me." lie was in
stantly surrounded by 80 young men
who asked be permitted to share
his fate. Then, giving the chief
command to a brother officer, he
made his detachment take the road
to the forest, while be, with his 80
companions, waited to meet the at
tack of the enemy. Two hours after
the departure of the detachment he
crossed the river, and, meeting a
Russian corps of 370 men near the
village of Viadyki, he commenced a
furious attack. The volleys of musk
etry brought the Russians to the
place from every direction. After
an engagement, which lasted five
hours, forty of his companions alone
remained alive. Ho attempted to
cross the Ilia a second time, in order
that the .Russians should lose all
trace of the detachment, but he was
shot down by a musket ball. The
remainder died with him, but his ob-
Jett was iwriniplished, aid the great
r part of the detachment was saved.
PRINOE ALBERT.
Some boys seem to think that
money and high station give people
license, and lift them above the re
straints that others are bound to re
spect. "lie is the governor's son;
he can do as he pleases," said Tim,
telling of the foolish and lawless con
duct of another boy. Yes, any boy
can do as he pleaues; but every boy
must take the consequences of his con
duct, high or low, rich or poor. If
he is idle, lawless and dissipated, he
must be miserable and despised, and
grieve his friends. The higher his
station, the lower his fall. The bet
ter his chance, the greater his ruin.
Prince Albert, the husband of the
Queen of England, had no such false
notions. Re knew that family, or
station, or wealth, could not give
him a character—that he must work
out himself. These things can, in
deed, help a boy; but to make a true
and noble man, must come from a
boy's own exertion ; nobody else and
nothing else can do it for him. There
fore, when Prince Albert was a col
legian at Bonn University, he did
not go for the name of it, to idle
away his time; he wont to study,
and he did study ten hours a day.—
Ho was up in the morning by half
past five, and at his books, thorough
ly mastering' his lesson. He did not
go to college to waste money and I
live fast; therefore he took quiet
lodgings and ate at a frugal table.—
His companions were not young men
who would flatter and befool him ;
but he constantly sought society
which could improve his mind and
inform his jadgment.
At twenty-one ho married Queen
Victoria, and came to live in England:
and though it was a high position,
with the eyes of the world upon
him, he was fit for it; and young as
ho was, he immediately won the re
spect and confidence of his adopted
countrymen.
He died only a few months ago,
in the "prime of life, at forty-two.—
And what is said of him Y In a dif
ficult position, because everything he
did or said was jealously eyed, he al
ways bore himself with dignity, pru
dence and sagacity. He feared God.
Every duty be faithfully fulfilled.—
There is not a stain upon his charac
ter; indeed, so singlarly free was he
from excesses of every kind, that his
stainlessness was a silent reproof to
men of freer• and looser lives. Such
a man is a Rigs, not only to his fami
ly, but to England the worid. Such
men are pillars of moral strength
which we can ill afford to lose.—
Child's Paper.
THE HORRORS OF WAR.
A letter from Port Hudson says,
on Wednesday. Jnnb 17th, the reb
els agreed to a flag of truce allowing
us to go upon the battle-field of the
previous Sunday and recover our
dead and wounded, who laid in plain
sight of our forces, but could not be
obtained in consequence of the close
proximity of the rebel sharpshoot
ers. During this long period some
of our wounded laid upon the ground
exposed to the hot sun. Our men
brought off and buried one hundred
and fifteen officers and soldiers. The
dead woro so much decomposd that
their clothing alone held them to
gether. A long trench was dug, and
the bodies wore all laid in ono com
mon grave, identification being im
possible. Three mon were found
alive, one of whom was a raving ma
niac. They caught just rain enough
in the shower of Monday night to
- sustain life while they lay upon the
field. One of them states that he
conversed with eleven wounded men
on Monday, who were lying near
him; on Tuesday eight were alive; on
Wednesday morning four only re
sponded, and when the flag of truce
was displayed, but one in that vicini
ty was alive to tell of their sufferings.
Oh, those long hours of horror be
fore death came to their relief !
Some were found with their clothes
torn nearly to threads in their strug
gles with death.
MEN OF GENIUS.
Tasso's conversation was neither
gay nor brilliant. Dante was eiblier
taciturn or satirical. Butler was
either sullen or biting. Gray sel
dom talked or smiled. Ilogarth and
Smith were very absent minded in
company. Milton was very unsocia
ble, and even irritable, whon pressed
into conversation. Kirwan, though
copious and eloquent in public ad
dresses, was meagre and dull in col
loquial discourses. Virgil was heavy
in conversation. La Fountain ap
peared heavy, coarse and stupid; he
did not even speak correctly • that
language of which ho was such a
master. Ben Johnson used to sit
silently in company and suck his
wine and their humors. Southey
was stiff, sedate, and wrapped up in
asceticism Addison was good com
pany with his intimate friends, but
in mixed company he preserved his
dignity by a stiff and reserved si
lence. Fox in conversation never
flagged; his animation and vivacity
were inexhaustable. Dr. Bently
was for/mdi:Ate, as was also. Grotius.
Goldsmith •'wrote like an angel and
talked like poor poll." Burke was
enterliaining, euttiusiastic and inter
estiag iuconvarautiou. Curran was
a convivial deity. Leigh Hunt was
like a pleasant stream in conversa
tion. Carlyle doubts, objects, and
constantly demurs.
A LION CAN LOVE.
The New York Sunday Dispatch
relates the following :
"In ono compartment of the cage
in which the animals perform at
Van Amhurg's beautiful menagerie
is a huge, tawny Asiatic lion. His
roommate is a black female tiger.—
This tigress is small compared to the
regal lion, but is highly valued as a
zoological curiosity, and the only
speeimen of the black tiger in this
country. Sha was purchased by Mr.
Van Amburg two years ago, and has
lived with the lion ever since The
atttchment between the two is re
markable. When other animals are
in the same cage, and any affront is
offered to the little tigress she runs
under the lion, and woo to the ani
mal that dares to approach her. No
matter how hungry he m:.•37 be, the
lion never touches his share of their
daily meal until his little chum has'
selected her share, and even this he
never entirely consumes until "ertain
that she has enough. All the animals
are as fat as moles; but this black ti
gress is aldermanic in her proportions
and no remedy exists for the matter.
She has been twice removed from the
lion ; but until she has been return
ed, the generous beast took neither
food nor rest, while the frantic
manner in which he dashed at the
bars was a sufficient warning that
the further detention of the tigress
would be a dangerous matter.—
Should his mate die, the lion would
probably pine t o death. Once,
while she was taken away, a lion
ess was substituted. The lion instant
ly fell upon her, and a single bite,
broke her spine and crushed some
of her ribs. Careful! nursing saved
her lifo, and she i.; still living, t with
her hinder parts immovably paralyz
ed.
RDWird.
PEACE.
They who, in their anxiety to
overcome political antagonists, mock
at the very idea of peace, make a
grand mistake. The radical papers
are filled -pith denunciations of the
lovers of peace. These denuncia
tions are all wr mg, and all tend to
the injury and discredit of those who
use them. Peace is not only desira
ble, but it is the prayer of every
good man in the land. Nor do the
enemies of peace understand what
they are talking about when they
thus cry for war "to the bitter end.
They use cant phrases without con•
sidering their meaning.' The land
has had enough of was, ifj.t were pos
sible now to bring the conflict to an
end and restore the power of the
Government. That end of war is to
be looked for with the most ardent
longing. Peace is always the object
of war if the war be just, and the
American people aro not educated to
love war, nor does the continuance
of strife beget any more love for :t.
In every part of the land to-day aro
mourners who remember the peaco
ful days of old with sorrowful emo-
tion, and who look for the peaceful
days to come with unutterable anx
iety and impatience. The men who
refuse to accept the first opening
prospect of peace, who endeavor to
prevent a peace, except only such a
ono as suits their partisan objects,
these men will not be able to sus
tain themselves in the presence of
the people.
We have not fought La accomplish
party ends, however much we may
have been misled in the war by par
tisans. But we have fought for the
Union, and whenever the Union can
be saved, by compromise or other
wise, then it must be saved, and woo
to the politician who stands in the
way of that peace.—Journal of Com•

LIMITS OF DISCUSSION
The Cleveland "Plain Dealer," in
some remarks on the disposition of
the administration to permit the ut
most :imitate discussion so far as the
Abolitionists are concerned, and re
strict them only in reference to Dem
ocrats, sensibly observes :
"Have we come to this, the Democ
racy are to Impractically disfranchised
in this country. If they are, we
have simply to remark that they de
serve to be. When men tamely sub
mit to be curtailed of the vital privi
leges of freemen, they should put on
their brass collars and not pretend
to be freemen. There is a conserv
ative element in the Republican par
ty which is as vitally interested in
meeting these assaults upon Ameri
can liberty as we arc—that is the
Gironde element. If we fall, it falls
likewise. Its Jacobin confederates
will throttle it, if they succeed in
throttling us. We both warn and
implore that body of our fellow citi
zens to utter its protest against these
odious discriminations, alike foreign •
to the spirit of our institutions and
the prosperous developement of the
country.

OUR OFFICE IN THE HANDS Or TUE
REBELS.- During the stay of the Re
bels in this place they took posse&
sion of our office, without oven say
ing "by your leave." They used our
types, ink and paper in printing
blanks, &c.,.but did no injury other
wise. The "Boss" was "John C. Gor
man, Capt. Co. B, 2d North Carolina
Troop," who, before leaving the of
fize, "set up" the following para
graph, expressive of his sentiments.
We hope he and the whole Rebel
army will soon embrale different
views :
"I am in for the War, or "till
death ;" am in favor of peace, only
on the basis of eternal separation ;
would rather see the Land of Dixie
a boundless desert, its male citizens
rotting on the battle-fields, its moth
ers and daughters perishing with
hunger, and its children outcasts and
beggars in a strange land, than ac
cept a peace on any other terms. I
would as soon fraternize with the
damned of hell, as the canting hypo
crites of the North, and Lad 1 Om
nipotent power would build a gulf of
fire as boundless as immensity be
tween the two nations that are now
'arrayed in arms against each other.",
SO - The extraordinary doctrines
which we have recently heard ad
vanced as to the nature and extent
of martial law, and in one instance
at least enforced by the authority of
the bench, are not new. They were
laid down more than a century ago
by a man who has generally been
held to have been a cruel and hard
hearted ruffian, the Lake of Cumber
land, the victor of Culloden, who
darned by his barbarity the name of
the Butcher. After the suppression
of the rebellion of 1745, when the
Lord President Forbes remonstrated
with him against the enormities com
mitted by his soldiers against all
who wore the tartan, and told him
they were against the laws of the
land, his Royal Highness replied :
"The laws, my lord 1 by Gad,
make a brigade give laws r Three
years ago there was not a man in
this country who would not have
pronounced this saying a brutal and
insolent effusion of the most odious
tyranny; but now we find politicians,
lawyers, editors, clergymen, by the
score and the hundred, who not 2nly
commend the sentiment, but appl'ove
of acts done under &nd by virtue of
it. The arrest of Mr. Vallandigbam
was making a brigade give laws—no
more, no less. The spirit of the ago
forbids such cruel Acts as were per
petrated against the Highlanders—
innocentand guilty—but the princi
ple is the same; a principle destruc
tive to liberty and fatal to,law.—Bos
on, Courier.
TAXATION.
In Albany, N. Y., the Republicans
called upon the citizens to support
the Republican candidates in Lbe re
cent municipal election "to save
themselves from taxation." To this
the Albany Argus well replied ea
follows
The Tax - Payers will remelober tat
Their bread is taxed by Republicans)
'I heir tea is taxed by Rppublicansr
Their sugar is taxed by Repadicanal
Their business is taxed by Republicans h.
Their clothing is taxed by Republicabs I
In short; that everything they eat,
drink or wear is taxed by a reckless
Administration, not to supply the
real necessity of the country, but to
fee and enrich an army of greedy
partisans, and to pave with "green.
backs" the road to the next Pres?! ,
dopey.
tarlienry Clay said, twenty yearn
ago, of tho Abolitionists:
"With them, the rights of proper
ty are nothing; the.defieiehey of the
powers of the general government is
nothing; the acknowledged and :n
-contestible powers of the states aro
nothing ; the dissolution of 01
Union, and the overthrow of a gov
ernment in which are concentrated
the tves of the civilized world, are
notlAg. A single idea bas taken
possession of their minds, and on
ward they pursue it, overlooking all
barriers, reckless and regardless of
all consequences." Awl Seery Clay
told the truth.
