As n good many of our friends bare ex

which controlled the Post Master General
in abolishing Distribution dulls. at the Erie
Post 11 —andas &paper in this city, not,.
riously established 'to disorganize the Detn
«vatic party, and play into the hands of
the opposition, has given currency to the
slander upon the Post Master and the ad
ministration, that the order was issued
co.sequenec of a leant of can ti,
Master, and as an act 0 - punts/intent t. him fiar
some fancied dertlettou hi.rt - etaliv to tde Ad
nwastration,"—we have deemed it no more
than an act of justice to the P. M. General,
a- well as to ourself, to lay the following
letter from that official relative to thomat
ter before our readers. The letter is n pri
vate one, but under the cfrcumstances we
think the P. M. General, as sell as the
friend to whom it was written, . rill deem
it lo breach of confidence to give it publi
cation :
Post I .l .Filel DEPARTMENT,
July 9, ItLl9,
is . Your letter to the President, of
t he 15th ult., in reference to the discontin
uance of distributic4l duties at Erie. Pa., has
been referred to this Department, and
regret that an earlier answer has been pre
vented by pressure of business.
- The order in question was a part of one
withdrawing distribution from thirteen offi
ces, situated in twelve different States, and
but the initiatory step to the gradual re
duction of the practice of distribution, it
not its final extinction as a part of the postal
system of the country. That this class of
offices were too numerous, and that in con
sequence of the increase of population and
the great improvements of modern times
in the mode and speed of mail conveyances,
many of them had not only ceased to be
useful or necessary for the purposes for
which they were designed, but had become
positive obstructions to the expedition of
correspondence, were facts apparent to the
Department for many years, and had at
tracted the attention of several:of my pre
decessors:with a view to an abatement of tlie
evil, but the usual pressure against the de
privation or curtailment of privelege and
emolument has hitherto deferred action on
the subject.
The location of distributing offices has
never been fixed at points tpecially favor
able to the interests of individual states.

of the entire country as one community,

lines—in fact the mails of a district imme.

of remote places, and so far from the citi.
zens of cities where such duties are per.
formed being benefited by, or interested
in them, not one in a hundred know that
they are so performed. The Postmaster
and his assistants are the only persons de
riving advantage from the operation called
"distribution," and from, them all the
op
position to a change originates.
The discontinuance of distribution from
one office does not, as you suppose, trans
fer the same labor and expense to another
office; thefewer there are of such offices the
greater is the extension of the practice of
dowt mailing, and a consequent diminu
tion in the amount of distribution coin-
Intszsions
It is estimated that one fifth of all the
I.o,tage (nearly several million of dollart-)
- ou letters , passing through the mail Is alr
bed in distribution commissions, Now it
IN evident that if the area of our Republic
was less extensive, so us to admit of tin cv
: change of mail, each office with every other
office, without the intervention of distribu
tion, this large amount would be saved.--
so admitting that the vast extent of our
country requires some distributing offices,
vet in proportion as the number islessencml
and the range of direct mailing extended.
would the saving be in distribution com
missions.

On I liel . th Inst. the perm of the 'Trench
telegraphed to the Empress that an
had been concluded between the Entperdr
Austria and himself, and that commissiaers
bad been appointed to settle the clauses and
duration of the armistice.
.v.Zisit Patin Monikeur asywit is measemenr that
the public should not misunderstand the extent
of the armistice. It is limited 1 1 71 8, to a IMP
laxation of hostilities het ween the which,
though leaving the field open for negotiations,
do not enable us forum present to mate how
the war may be terminated.
The London Times believes in peace, andre
marks before the truce has ended, the French
army will be refreshed and reinforced.
A Beet of gun boats will - be ready upon the
isike that surrounds Mantua, and a great army
will be ready to make its descent upon the
shores of northern Italy.
Broken and dispirited as Austria now is, she
, is better able to fight at this moment than she
will be at any future time. -We believe, there
fore, in peace, and we believe that the path of
peace will be smooth to her, for the Emperor
has won the itdvantage which for the moment
he proposes to himself,
If this war between France and Austria is
ended France comes with tremendous power out
tittle conflict, while Austria and Europe will
look on with increasing interest, touch meditat
ing on the future, while she rests upon her
arms.
Paws, 9.—The Monitenr of to-day says the
armistice was signed at Villafranea on the Bth
between Marshall Valliant and Boron liens. Its
term is fixed for the fifteenth of August. It
stipulates that merchant vessels without dis
t inction of flag shall be allowed to navigate the
Adriatic unmolested.
t~caoaay.--The London 3%mea in a city ar
ticle gives information obtained through a per
fectly legitimate financial channel, respecting
the Emperor's intentions in regard to Hungary
through the agency of KOSalatik, who had an
interview with his Imperial Majesty before he
left for Italy, when the Emperor agreed to give
Kossuth a corps d' armee, and arms and aunt
nition to any extent requested.
It was settled that the Emperor should issue
the first proclamation to the Hungarian nation,
and that this should be followed by one from
Kossuth, that in consequence of Hungary ris
ing and freeing herself from Austria, France
should be the first officially to recognize the
independence of the country, and then would
obtain the same recognition from her allies ;
that the Emperor should allow Hungary, with
out interference on his part, to choose her own
form of government, and to elect as her Sover
eign the person she may deem most advisable.
That the Emperor should place 8,000.000 f
at Kossuth's disposal, the nuinagementof which
Kossuth having declined to accept, has been
placed under the Hungarian commissioner
now acting at Genoa.
In Kossuth's proclamation to the Hungarins
be never. speaks of Austria, but the house of
Hapsburg, whose expulsion he says is the
mission of the Hungarian nation.
He asserts that he will be supported by a
power which ten years ago replaced the house
of Hapsburg on the throne.
FORZION News.—The Washington brings
one day's later news from Europe, the details
of which are given elsewhere The attitude
of Prussia is still doubtful. It is claimed
both in Paris and London that ger position
will be purely defensive, and that pnless the
soil of Germany be invaded, she will not min
gle in the war. On the other hand, there is a
report that GARIBALDeR corps has already
violated the Tyrol, and that Price WINDeiCH
GRATZ has gone to Berlin to call the attention
of Prussia to the fact and to her treaty obli
gations under such eiacumstances. The arma
ment of the German Confederation is still
progressing, and the French are accumulating
troops upon the Upper Rhine.—An indicative
article in the Invalid Bowe probably speaks
iktbetninfrillei a in iite
nature of an ultimatum, and may be regarded
all a threat. Such an offer should not come
from a single power, but should have also the
indorsement of Russia and England. There
is also a curious rumor that if Prussia inter
venes. Russia will rake Austria off the hands
of France and leave the latter power with only
Prussia to contend against Mr. GAILLARDRT,
of the Cr/Helen' ded Mate Una*, writes that he
beard one of the most powerful and intelligent
of the Parisian capitalists offer, a short time
since, to belt a large sum that before the end of
October, the French would be in Berlin and
the Russians in Vienna! For himself, the
writer believes that Europe is on the eve of
speedy peace or a generst war; and that the
chances of the two are even. We are not yet
prepared to believe that Prussia is ready to
enter upon so great a hazard for so small an
interest at stake

'far. Slt KLLS RZCONCILIATIO.N.--Of the re
ported reconciliation of Mr. Dam'. E.
SICKLE, and his wife. the New YOrk
bwie says
"The reconciliation between Mr. and
Mrs. Sickles was constunntated, as we are
informed, while Mr. 8. was residing at the
house of a freind on the Bloomingdale
mad, about half a mile from the former
house of Mr. S., which for some time past
Mrs. Sickles has occupied, either alone or
with some of the members of her own fam
ly. The suspicions of his host were excit
ed by the repeated
_absence of Mr. S at
unusual hours; and when he came in very
early one tilOrUillg he wa s interrogated by
the host and another friend who wa s pre
sent, and on his positively denying their
right to question him, and refusing to give
an explanation, they shook hands, with
him for the last time and he withdrew. It
is -41 id he has addressed letters to his former
intimate associates notifying them formally
of the resumption of conjugal relations be
tween himself and Mrs. Sickles."
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says
"The freintis of lion. A. E. Sickles in
this city have learned that he and his wife
are about to resume marital relations, it
they have not already done so. It was ru
mored that be was about to sue for a divorce,
but that idea has been abandoned. The
fatuities of both put their heads together,
and: after discussing all the pro's and con's,
they Came to the conclusion that it would
be btittor for Mr. Sickles and his wife to
livetbgether again in peace and mutual
affection, burying the past in the grave of
oblivion. Both parties have agreed to this
step, and it is said their love is greater
than ever 'There is immense rejoicing
among their Mends, who have written
letters of warm congratulation."

ear Erie county is still ahead on the wheat
question. Last week we noticed the receipt of
a sack of flour nissubictured from Kentucky
White Wheat. Wee then Messrs. Caoren zg
BROTgIR, of the !Fairmount Mills, have shown
us a specimen of Erie county wheat, and also
one of Kentucky White wheat, and even to our
unprofessional eye the difference between the
two is plainly to be seen. The product of our
"Southern sister" was truly a fair article but
that of our own Country was - the best we ever
saw—large, plump and white. looking good
enough and tempting enough in fact to eat :
and proving, we may add, in this psrticular at
least, the superiority of free over slave labor
In this' connection allow us to assure our read
ers that Metestminitaimu k Dimmest are man
ufacturing this kind of wheat into flour every
day, and are reedy to fill orders either for
home or other consumption upon the moat
favorable terms.
P. 8 At last accounts Erie county and
Messrs. C. & B. were ithesd—taill we are "open
to conyiction."
air Erie has a "mystery" at last It is
the mystery of the mysterious chair, which the
owner of a building, not far from the corner of
State street and the Public Square, found in
one of his unoccupied rooms in the third story,
one day this week. The chair is a gdod)y ap
pearing chair—a handy chair—as handy, in
fact, as a "pocket in a shirt - -but, who owns
the chair? -Thereby bangs a tale. ' We be.
here the chair as, what _dealers call an "inva
lid's chair," which means that by a skillful t
of the wrist you can convert it into either
