the revenue. In case no dilference‘ is made in‘
favor of pre-payinent,the‘ post office department
' at Washington will require double its present
number ofclerks to audit and examine its dead
letters, and this would prove a serious additioiial
tax upon the revenue of the department‘ To
give the reader soiue idea of the relat"_vr-. num-
ber of paid and unpaid letters which reach the
dead letter office, we will give seine data from
the returns of our principal cities'i Thus, Bos-
ton, during the four quarters of the last year,
returned $40,800 worth of dead letters, of
which only four thousand eight hundred dollars
was paid. leaving the remaining l/iirt.‘_y-si'.z: [lion-
soznd dollars a loss upon the department.--
Multiply this by ten, and you will get about the
average results from New York city. Cincin-
nati, for the quartet‘ ending 31st Dec. '50, sent
in 25,000 dead letters, of which number only
t/iivlcen himdrcrl were prepaid! So in propor-
tion of Pliiladolpliia, Baltimore, St. Louis.
New Orleans, and in fact cveryofiice. Thcre
’ are now about twenty persons engaged con-
stantly in the various duties of disposing of the
dead matter coining to the department, at an
aveivigc salary of$1000 per aniiuin—and when
this amount ofmatter, which is now 3.000.000
of letters per auiium. or about 3000 bushels, is
quadrupled, as it cei-tiiiiily will be, it is plain to
see the greatly ii uguieiited expense to the de-
p.'irt.ment. The postage now lost to the Gov-
ornmeiit on unpaid letters would pay the entire
local expenses of the I’l(*.[)tll'it11el11 at \Vashing-
ton! In every view of the case, the present.
law would prove most. disastrous to the self
sustaining principles of the department, and if
carried into execution will so embarrass it as to
force it repeal of the law and jeopardize all
'’hopes of any further attempts at postage re-
form. From a pret.t.y thorough knowledge of
the postal transactions of the country, we are
confident. that. one ziriiforin rule of lico cents
pre-]Jai'd in ez:er_i/ inslamrc, would not only be
the most popular with the public, but would
render the department what it wishes, and
-ought to be——-a self-sustaiiiingorganization. Or
‘else, in case of two rates, to make the unpaid
rate 5 cents.'so as to insure the pre-payment. of
‘-the great bulk of correspondence. It is obvious
that the gov:-riimcnt can alford to transport
pre-paid letters cheaper than those which are
not. and liable to be refused, lost. &'.c., and sub-
ject to an additional tax for advertising. If no
difference is made in favor of pre-payment,
there is ‘no estiinating t:'iie loss to the depart-
ment, and as it has grown into a general prac-
tice with a great many persons never /0 prqiczy

Washington Correspom/cncc of the Gazelle.
Fainiur EVPINING, Jan. 24th.
I believe it was in the columns of the Gazette
that the subject of the Pacific railroad was first.
presented to the consideration ofthe public by
Mr. Henry Betts, then a resident of Norwalk.
Since that time the _l1l_t1j§e1' lii_is_ been extensively
discussed, and various plans submitted for the
consummation of the enterprise. Among these,
the most practicable and feasible, I think, is
Mr. Whituey’s_——though I believe it differs not
materially from the plan subiiiitted by Mr. B.
Mr. Whitney has been here for soiue time
pressing the importance of this subject to the
attention of Congress. On Saturday evening
last he gave a public lecture to a very large
auditory at the capitol, detailing the plan of the
work. He was listened to with absorbing inter-
est.for two hours, and urged upon Congress the
necessity ofcommencing the work now or never.
Its: opening to the vast commerce of the East.’
now to a great extent monopolized by England,
its feasibility ; the pecuniary and other advan-
tages accruing to the U. States in consequence
of theisettlement of the Great \Vest, incident
upon the building of the road ; the increased
value of public lands, and finally its absolut.e
necessity as a measure of self—del'enSe. in Velw
of the new channels which commerce is seek-
ing-—all these objects were urged with a con-
siderable degree of force. - _
I hope that he may be permitted to go ahead,
as any failure of his to finish what he may
f..commence, will cost the government nothing.
He remarked that he was daily in receipt of
letters and propositions from capitalists in Great
Britain to build the road through the. British
American provinces, upon for more lucrative
- andadvantageoiis terms‘to“himself"~‘ than‘ ‘th'o‘se"‘ 1
he. ‘offers l1is.é’w'n- govei'nm'e'nt.'L : "I shall ttilée
occasion. to allude to this subject again in an-~
other place. _’ ' ,
Considerable rejoicing is bad ove'i' the defeat
of Benton. and the election for six years of..a
staunch Union \Vliig in his place. But the
Democrats feel uiore chagrin herd overflthe
despicable bargain and sale maneuvering-. of the
Massachusetts progressives. They leel a little
ashamed of the transaction, but more afraid
that it will show them up in their proper guise
at the South, and cause them some loss of
ground. .
A pledge to support the Compi'omise Meas-
ures and to oppose any candidate for President
against them, was signed yesterday by 59
inembers-—-a'i'ostly \Vli'i‘gs—aii‘d is published in
to-day’s Republic, creating some sensation.
A Colonization meeting’ was held here on
Monday night; Clay, President. He nnide_ ii
short address upon taking the chair, which we
wish our free soil or ratlierultra abolition friends
could have heard. Rev. Dr. Fuller iuade an
address; Stanton of Tenn. and Latrobe follow-
ed warmly and eloquently on bullttlf of the
cause. The President, members of the-Cabi-
net and a large uunber of ladies and gentle-
men wero in attendance. _
The Cotniiiitte appointed by the Governor of
Virgiuia,_to make the presentation to General
Scott,‘ ofa massive Gold Medal, voted by the
Legislature for his brilliant services in Mexico
took place at head quarters here to day. Gen-
Scott is now prominently before the people as
one of the candidates for the next Presidency.
ltisrumoredthat ii radical modification of
the tariff is coiitemplated by meiribers, irrespec-
tive of party. \-Ve hope so—for a measure so
nearly aiTecting t.he toiling millions of our coun-
try, ought not to be made the test ofany party,
but like the question of the Union, should stand
above all party tramelling. I, for one, would be
willing to throw it out of my creed, if by so do-
lug, honest democrats would come up to its
support.
The River mid Harbor bill will be vigorous-
ly pressed next week, but there is so much
other business before Coiigi'ess, at this late pe-
riod of its session. I fear it will not be acted
upon. .
Iobserve ourquannom freind Smith waxe

lepic periods of being funny. 'I‘o sneak seri-

wish you abundant success in everything but

The Republican has taken a dignified position.

and if the democracy make a quarter the exer-
tion to give it a generous support, that our friend
Smith does to furnish them a good paper, its
permani=ut success is no longer a thing of un-
