Be-Opening of the Post-Office at Beaufort North Carolina. === WASHINGTON, Jane 19 The Poet-office department has concluded, an arrangement with the Hamburg, Bremen and Liverpool lines of trans-Atlantic steamers, by which the fastest steamers of each of those lines are accepted for the United States mail service throughout the year, thus securing a fast steamer for the conveyance of the mails on each United States sailing days, viz : On Saturdays from New York, and on Wednes days from Southampton or Liverpool. \ This ar rangement so long desired by the Departnient will give increased efficiency to the United States mail service, and prove of great advan tage to the commercial interest of this country and Europe. The Post Office Department re-opened to day—the post office at BeaufOrt, N. O. being the first post office regularly're-establishes since the occupation of that place by the United Statea forces. According to a ganeral order just published, furloughs will not be given by captains of com panies or a furlough from such authority will not relieve a soldier from charge of desertion. Enlisted men absent from their regiments without proper authority, are in fact deserters, and not only forfeit all pay and allowances, but are subject to penalties awarded by law to such offenders. No plea of sickness or other cause not official ly established and no certificate of a physician in civil life, unless it be approved by some officers acting as a military commander, will hereafter avail to remove the charge of desertion or pro cure the arrears' of pay when a soldier has been mustered as absent from his regiment with leave. FROM MANASSAS. The rebel mail carrier, Granville W. Kelly, who was captured day before yesterday, proves to be a man of considerable importance. He is the owner of a large flour mill, cloth factory, and plantation near Culpepper, and since the rebellion has been constantly at work foe the rebel Confederacy. He says the rebel Government is largely in debted to him, and the $lO,OOO in Confederate bonds found upon his person were taken in part payment of the debt. Two deserters who were formerly from the North, but impressed into the rebel service, at New Orleans, same within our lines this morn ing. They have been under Jackson, but could give no Information of any value to the Commanding General, and were accordingly allowed to go at large.

Mr. Wimumm, (M 0.,) spoke of the import ance of this measure, and of the losses sus tained by citizens of border States, which necessarily succeeded their occupation by our troops, whose animals must have forage and whose . forests had to be cut down for fuel and buildings ocupied as quarters. While the loyal people do not complain, they look to Government for speedy redress, which is their right. Mr. VVerroN, (Ohio,) and others spoke on the question. Adjourned.

HORRIBLN—FORTY Hex SINGULARLY POLSoNZD OR Dissasits—Sume thirty boatmen yesterday morning called at the office of the Board of Health for medical treatment. They had just arrived in a steamer from up the river, and had been dreadfully poisoned or diseased through handling certain bags of wheat. All who had been engaged iu stowing the wheat on board, and two or three persons who had simply eat for a short time on the sacks, were affected with large and highly inflamed welts running all over the body. Dr. Grinsteed, the health clerk, was inclined to attribute the distemper to the prey alence"of " black rot" in the wheat—cereals occasionally becoming infested with a species of terrible prolific amimaleure that disseminate themselVes at once by contact, and whose pres ence in grain is popularly designated as the "black rot." Some ten others, besides those who visited the health office, were similarly afflicted. Dr. G. instantly furnished the party with appropriate medicine, and gave such ad vice as he deemed proper in the case. Au opinion among the patients was that the bags had been purposely poisoned, to prevent ante from eating the grain. This appears incredible. Another hypothesis is that the sacks had been in contact with a certain peculiar and poisonous species of oak. ft strikes us that these sick ones should have the freight complained of, and the vessel concerned ought to receive care ful and close attention. Certainly steps should at least be taken to prevent others from suffer ing through handling the noxious sacks of grain. We cannot learn that even the name of the steamer is known to the health authorities. —St. Louis Democrat. McCram...a on Datiamunises. Gen. McClellan sent back, some time since, as not satisfactory, the finding of a court martial, with the follow ing pointed, just and timely admonitions: "The testimony in this case exhibits a most disgraceful state of things. At officer receives from 'a friend' in a neighboring city a case of liquors. The arrival of this mischeivous box in camp is the signal and the occasion of a moat blameable breach of discipline. It seems that all the acquaintances, officers and men, of thh recipient, were called in to partake of this most pernicious gift, which if it had been sent by an enemy, could not have been more perfect ly adapted to work injury to the regiment From drunkenness, brought on from drinking in this assemblage, proceeded the glaringly in subordinate conduct of the prisoner. This was no palliation of his offence, but an addition to it. No one evil agent so much ob structs this army in its progress to that condl• tion which will enable it to accomplish all that true soldiers can, as the degrading vice of drunkenness. It is the cause of by far the greater part of the disorders which are exam ined by our courts martial. It is impossible to estimate the benefits that would accrue to the service from the adoption of a resolution on the part of the officers to set their men an exam ple of total ablvinence from intoxicating drink. It would be worth fifty thousand men to the armies of the United States." Menesses, June 18 AN Arszorma Sossa.—The Chicago Times in noticing the visit of the Baltimore excursion top Chase, where some eight thousand Rebel prisoners are confined, says : A-thrilling incident also occurred there,being the meeting of a father—one of the Baltimo reans—Mr. Shutze, with his son, now a prisoner of war in the camp, who was taken at the fall, of Donelson. They had parted two years pre- , viously, at which time young Shutze had left his home for Alabama, to obtain employment. As he states, he was there impressed into the Confederate service, soon after the breakingout of the war, and taken prisoner as above men tioned. Shortly after his arrival at Camp Douglas he informed his father by letter of his situation, and a regular correspondence has since been maintained between them. Mr. Shutze is a boot and shoe manufacturer in Bal timore, and firm in his devotion to the Union. He has no doubt of his son's loyalty, and has for some time been using active exertions to obtain his release. The meeting, though not unexpected, was yet a very affecting one, both bursting into tears as they fo!dly embraced each other. AN Lamm]No " relic" was found a few days since, over at the terminus of the Pontchar train railroad, at the lake. It was discovered and iaised by Col. Chas. C. G. Thornton, com manding the guard at that point, and Capt. George Wiggin, late of New London, at pres ent Captain of the post at the lake. The relic is a submarine ram, of cigar shape, made of iron, hollowed so that a number of men can enclose themselves in it. It is twenty-four feet long, and has a propeller which can be worked by hand. On each side of the ram there is a sort of fin made of iron, three feet long and a foot and a half wide. By raising these wings, or tins, the ram rises to the sur face and sinks by their depression. The bow is sharply pointed, and when run against any ordinary vessel below the water mark, would be able to sink in it in a very short time.

Cones FROM A Nsw tioaacs.—We have heard of late some stir about a species of cotton be ing produced this season, by what is known in common phraze as the " Balm-of-Gilead tree." A friend has just exhibited to us a specimen taken from a tree. The "cotton" seems to grow upon a sort of pod ; is of very fine texture, but fibre quite short. Wether it can be manu factured into thread ant cloth, is yet to be tried, as far as we know. It would doubtless answer for some uses the real article is now put to. What is remarkable, no one ever no ticed such a production from the tree previous to this season.

Nearly. one half of this number were killed or wounded. IMPORTANT IT TRUEL-A Yankee has Invented a new gun, with which he says he can sink the Mpoitor in thirty minutes. He sets a target of a thickness of *le inches of wrought iron obliquely, and at long range puts a small ball through the whole concern, clear and clean. The rebel Confederacy, now go soon to per ish, is utterly bankrupt. It was born without a cause, and will die without effects.—Prentice. PRICE ONE CENT.
