Humons oF an Axmy Matt Bac—Affairs at the City Post Office —Among the many addresses upon soldiers’ letters, the following eal in- scription, written in a delicate feminine band, ‘was upon a letter that reached the Washington city post office a day or two ago: — omas ney mates straight tc Camp ‘ennally go, Keep thyself in good condition, and let not thy gait be slow.

Elder bona Tell him then, {f ’tis convenient, you will with bim remain.” To satisfy the curiosity about our gallant Com- mander-in-Chief, expressed in the above, the fair writer is hereby informed that In the opinion of the ladies hereabout, General McClellan is de- eldediy foot eskibg. The following comes from some town ‘“‘out ya of course : “Way over to Washington quickly fly, To the brave Michigan Thin, Geter Is ‘There let a gallant young soldier, Alfred M.Gard- ir ner by name, Be the firs’ to unfold your contents and read the same bed A letter reached the office the other day, as thousands of others do every day in the week, so indefinitely addressed as that no one could tell ‘what to do with it. It was sent to some camp at ® venture, and next day was returned with the following peremptory and slightly Hibernian Indotsement, ‘‘Not for this regiment. Don’t send it back again—mind that!” * ‘he following, received in this city from a mond inane shows tbat the schoolmaster is not a in coun 2 gies “ Oor. 7, 1861. ‘* Dear sir it is with shame that Isend you these few it is to Let you no that 1 Dont understand makin out the quarterly acount curent I have got alowyeranda ttor and som farmers to make it out and none of them understands itso I thaugbt { would try this my self I have Don it the Best { Could | am no scoller hardley so if you will make one Piain like these we have and send one to me 20 I Can tell how to Do it I want to Do write if I node bow If there are any miss stakes it aint made apupurs yours Truly —— —— Postmaster at —— Kansas.” ‘We note some material improvements which have been effected at the post office recently under the superintendence of Postmaster ae de- sig to facilitate the o tions of the office, and also to make the employees as comfortable as Pessibie in the discharge of their duty. The delivery windows being situat-d on the north. and consequently the coldest side of the Post Office building, the clerks of the delivery have hitherto suffered not a little during the winter months of the year from constantly stand- ing in the pterci cold draught of air which rushes through, to serious detriment of their health. Bab ype thisthick panes of giass have deen set inf grooves at the sides of the ex; ‘apertures, so constructed as to slide up and down, the lower edge of the — eect piece cut out in a crescent shape, through which letters are delivered to applicants. When large pack- ges are to be delivered, the moveable ne is pushed up, where it is caught and beld by a spring until it is thrust down again. Thus the cold is measurably excluded. A most acceptable improvement for the benefit of the ladies has been achieved in the construction of an enclosed eutrance or ante-room to the ladies window, which isto be furnished with heating spperatus and appropriate furniture. The ladies window opens into this ante-room, which is pri- vate, and for the especial behoof of the fair sex. Gentlemen calling for letters for their lady friends receive them at the window formerly devoted to the ladies. Raton rat bad Post , agertang first oy itwas Benerally leved to jarge enou; for an possible contingency that might pry But the architect never dreamed that it was to be the scene of such extensive postal operations as have been instituted there since the breaking out of the great rebellion, and therefore did not make his Plan with reference to the receiving, assorting, and supplying of mail matter to an army of a quarter of a million of men, to say nothing of a resident and floating population amounting to at least one half that number during the intermis- sion of Congress, and added to that again the huge extra demands upon the office consequent upon the Congressional sessions. The tremendous — and afiux of ae matter —_ sats ac- cul , Rot only uiresa large ical force, whick bas been peavided. but also an enlarge. meat of the office, the necessity for which grows more apparent day by, day. Postmaster Clepbane bas promptly taken the initiatory steps towards effecting this important change, a asked the department for more room, and has been assigned several convenient apartments in one of the ad- jelntog wings of the Post Office building. With these Increased facilities for serving the public, the immense bulk of the mails now transmitted bither and sent away daily will be distributed and forwarded with proportionate economy of Ume. ALL Asour « Bonnet —Last night, Patrolman Crown rushed Into the office Justice Donn, close- ly followed by several females, who were very much excited, and each woman trying to get the Squire’s attention first. The trouble seemed te when the case was sifted, that one of the ladies, Mrs. White, left ber bonnet with Mrs. Behrens, a milliner, to be fitted up, and thoi she bad called over ard over again in five weeks, she could not get ber bonnet. It was exactly such an ravation as that received by Mrs Pil- Neoddy at the bands of Mrs. Simcox. night abe went again for her bonnet, and could not get it, finished or unfinished ina moment of anger she seized upon a bonnet in the store, and re- marked that she would take that if the other was not given up. One jumped up and seized the complainant, and took tne bonnet from her. Mrs. White, the lady customer, accused the German, Samstag, with assault and batte! Samsatag then wanted to accuse Mrs. White wi! stealing the bonnet, and Mrs. Bebrens, the mil- ner, wanted to justify berself. J ordered Mre Behrens, as she could not brin donnet herself to-day, (it being her Sabbath,) to send it to the office; Mrs. White to be present with oe meen poe eS and Samstag to keep his tongue. The parties went off, not ex- actly satisfied, but determined to make things right {a the morning.

Pustic Schoots —The new member of the Board for the Fourth School District, Mr. Jonas B. Ellis, in conjunction with bis colleagues, Messrs. J. E. Holmead and John T. Cassell, it to the district night-school, Sixth nd,) Thursday nig! it. The number in attendance was quite small, but the attention and order of those present were highly com- mended Although our city’s experience of night schools has not thus far proved very exhilerating, we must admit that the order of the Fourth Dis- trict nighbt-school is bighly indicative of future success The Trustees of the Fourth District are bestow- ing much time and labor in reorganizing the Island schools. This ts a good work, and though it may occasion a temporary inconvenience to the teachers, it must In theend efit them and their pupils. The life of a public school system is in the thoroughness of its classi fication—the havin; = right study pursued in the right time an place. Rascvep —An interesting white girl, only 13 ‘ears of age, was rescued last night, by Detective fScer Boss, from an assignation house kept by a Apts woman. This is the third instance within e last fortnight in which Officer Boss bas been called upon by distressed relatives of girls (mi- nors) to recover them from houses of in fame, whither they have been enticed by procur-sses While our legislators are on the subject of judi- cial reform in this District, their attention ay propels be called to the fact that there is no law ere punishing the keepers of bawdy houses for harboring or enticing away girls under age from their homes. The fact that the victims of such villainy are white, will not disqualify them, it is to be hoped, as candidates for redress at the hands of our law-makers. Potice Reports —Yesterday, John C. Hohn wes arrested by patrolman Crown for assault and battery, also for selling liquor to soldiers; held to bail in both cases by Justice Barnacio. Daniel Sullivan, disorderly; turned over to the military. Wm. Bruning was arrested upon the complaint of Lieut. Morris for an assault with a pistol, and turned over to the military.

Kinp Acts ReMgMBERED—Our brave volun- teers have shown In repeated instances their grate- ful appreciation of kindnesses extended to them an, citizens. During the year, the Rev. Mr. ‘olmead (Grace Church, Episcopal,) and family have performed many cue deeds for suffering and needy soldiers, making their house a sort of military hospital, av it were. The members of the New Jersey Eighth Regiment, (Col. John- son,) as a mark of gratitude for such services ren- dered to soldiers of that regiment, have presented to Mr. Holmead the bandsome sum of 8177, to be devoted to the purchase of a new Sunday school library for bis church, and the liquidation of a small balance of debt upon the old library and the church organ. THe Stassinc Arrain.—labez Petard, whose arrest by the patrolinen of the Fifth Ward for an assault and battery, with intent to kill, on Jobn Evans, was noticed in the Star of yesterday, ap- peared before Justice Ferguson at 4 o’clock p.m for a further hearing. From the evidence f ap- peared that Evans bad for some time past made a butt of Petard, and a few days since threatened to knock his brains out with a stone which he (Evans) bad in hishand He then dropped the stone, and putting a rope around Petard’s neck ulled him abcut, saying he would bang him. ‘etard exploded at asta petards generally do— and after warning Evans off, drew a small knife and pricked him in the shoulder, infilcting a slight wound. The case was dismissed by the magistrate. Sgniovs Accipent.—Yesterday afternoon, as Mr.H.H K. Elliot, proprietor of the Philadel- phia cane Journal, was riding in a buggy on Sixth near street, a butcher's wagon came in contact with bis light vehicle, and tore off one of the hind wheels, and Mr. E was thrown out. He was taken in charge by Mr. Thayer, of the American Telegraph Company, and Sergt. Cro- nia of the Metropolitan poitos. and conveyed to bis rooms at F ding house, when it was ascertained that his Injuries, though painful, are not necessarily dangerous.

It being air-tight, it is the only article suitable for Acids, s5e Ammonia, Smelling Salts, Indel- ible Ink, and a great variety of articles which are more or jess volatile, and which destroy the com- mon cork, but have no effect upon the Rubber. The Rubber Stopp?r will not chip or break off as the common cork is liable to, making it neces- sary te dig out the part left in the neck of the bottle or phial. Its toughness and tenacity obvi- ates this objection to the common cork. They are prepared with the purest articles, im- parting no smell or taste to the most delicate preparation, and may be relied upon by all Phy- sicians and Surgeons. On the score of economy, it will take the place of all ®ther corks and stoppers, as quantities of Nquors of all kinds and medicines are obliged to be thrown away, having become stale and wortb- less, for the want of being tightly corked. They are also a perfect substitute for ground glass stop- Pers for druggists’ bottles and phials, which often stick and are difficult to get out They are put upa dozen in a box of different sizes expressly for families, so that when an pote liquid is opened, the Rubber cork shoul: used. They can be put up differently, assorted for Wine snd Liquor Stores, Beer Bottlers, Hotels, Club Rooms, Bar-rooms, &c., &c., of such sizes and quantities as may be wanted. They will be for sale at all the principal Drug- Istand Rubber Stores throughout the United tates A company has been formed under the title of the Goodyear India Rebber Cork Company, for the manufacture of the above article, under the exclusive license from Mr. Goodyear’s Executors for the United States, and they intend to place them before the public at prices so reasonable that they will come into general use, and in a great measure supercede the common cork.
