COLUMBIA.
Sronday Morning, December 8.1867.
Depur(men( Reporta. '
We continue this morning our ab?
str?ete of the annual reporta from the
different department? and bureaus.
The main tao ts of the Postmoster
Qeneral's report, are to be found in
tho Proiidon t'a message. The num?
ber of dead letters bas diminished
nearly a million, owing to the use of
envelopes, with a request for the re?
turn to the writers of unclaimed let?
ters, directly from the post office ad?
dressed. It is estimated that fully
50,000,000 of these envelopes were
used during the year, the department
supplying about one-third of the
number. The soles of postage stamps
and stamped envelopes amounted to
$12,980,134.32, leaving unsold in the
hands of postmasters $412,928.78.
Experiments are in progress with a
postage stamp, printed on embossed
paper, whioh seems lo afford good
security against fraud. The fibres of
the paper being broken, cancelling
marks almost penetrate, so that they
cannot easily be removed without
destroying tho stamp. The adhesive
properties aro also promoted.
The length of mail routes has been
inereased over the preceding year
22,324 miles, the annual transporta?
tion 7,144,875 miles, and cost $1,705,
812; tu which add increased cost for
railway postal clerks, route, local and
other agents, $241,171; makes an
aggregate of $1,946,973. The num?
ber of post offices established during
the year was 1,885; number discon?
tinued 6,111; decrease of offices
4,220; number of post oOoes in ope?
ration on the 30?h June, 1866, includ?
ing suspended offices in tho Sontheim
States, 29,389; total -number in ope?
ration on 3tut of Jone, 1867, 25,16?
number of offices subject to appoint?
ment by the President, 837; number
by the Postmaster-General, 24,326.
A large majority of offices discon?
tinued are in tho Southern States,
the service of which was suspended
by tho Postmaster-General in May,
1861, and were not in operation
thereafter, but not regularly discon?
tinued. These offices were reported
by the auditor to the appointment
office as having failed to make returns
for five years, and their discontinu?
ance recommended as necessary to
enable that officer to close the ac?
counts of the late postmasters.
The whole number of money ordei
post offices now in operation is 1,221,
of which 458 have been established
since tho last annual report. This
increase has occurred maiuly in thc
Western and Southern States, when
the facilities of this system, for thc
transportation of money appear, al
present, to be most needed. ' Exoest
over expenditures, $26,260.61. Thc
subject of connecting the telegraph
system of tho country with the postal
service, has attracted public atten?
tion; and it received, to some extent,
the consideration of the last Post?
master-General. It has recently
transpired, that tho telegraph system
of Great Britain, has been put ir
charge of the British post office de
partuient. It is a matter of vcr}
great importance, and its propriety
and practicability ought to b<
thoroughly investigated by Congress
The Postmaster-General then calli
attention to the gross frauds perpe
1 rated upon the department by viola
tion of the franking privilege, in al
most all parts of tho country. Th<
fae simile franks of members of Con
gress aro freely used to circulate ob
scene books, lottery circulars, &c
He recommends that the written sig
nature of the person entitled to frank
be required.
The report of the Secretary of tb
Interior gives a comprehensive sum
mary of the results which were at
tained, during the last fiscal year, ii
the branches of tho public servie
committed to the supervision of tha
department. During the last fiscu
year, 7,041,114.50 aeres of the pub
Ho lands were disposed of. Thi
quantity exceeds that disposed o
during the pro viona year by 2,411,80
seres. The last soldier of the Kev?;
lutiou, who was on the pension roll
at the date of the last annual report
has since died. By 'special Aot o
Congress, two other veterans of tho
war have been placed on the rolls, n
the rate of $500 per annum. Of th
widows of such soldiers, there are oi
the rolls 997; of these, 119 were
married prior to the let January,
1800. Of wars subsequent to the
Revolution and prior to the rebellion?
the number of pensioned widows
and orphans of soldiers was 1,310, at
the close of the lost fiscal year. Dar?
ing the year,* there were added io the
number of pensioners of all olasses
36,482; 7,982 were dropped from
varions sections, leaving on the
rolls, Jane 80, 1867, 165,474. ' The
total amount of pensions paid
was.:818,819,946. Daring the year
ending September 80, 1867, there
were admitted 954 applications for
bounty land warrants, requiring
148,960 acres of land to satisfy them.
Daring the same period, there were
16,547 applications for patents; 11,655
patents were issued; 1,224 applica?
tions were allowed, but patents have
nol been inano/l thcrccu by ?r?a?CD of
the non-payment of the final fees;
3,486 caveats were filed; 06 applica?
tions for extension were received,
and 92 extensions of patents were
granted. Tho remainder of the re?
port is devoted to the Pacific Bail
road, its earnings, ?cc.
The report of the Commissioner of
Agriculture recommends that Con?
gress adopt Borne plan for facilitating
the early construction of a ship canal,
for the transportaion of "Western pro?
ducts from the lakes to the ocean, or
for the building of a doable track
railway, open to all, forwarding on
equal terms and supported by an
equitable system of tolls. He Bays
that the unsettled condition of in?
dustry in the Southern Jtatos, re?
quires the encouraging aid and
friendly recognition of the Govern?
ment, to restore the people to a state
of prosperity and self-reliance, so
essential to the development of the
great resources of that section.. He
advocates that the cotton tax be re?
scinded, as it is disastrous and dis?
heartening in the extreme. The in?
troduction of Asiastics for cotton
production, he says, is to be depre?
cated. Snob labor is unskilled, and
far inferior to negro labor, and will
add to the complications indnced by
the jealousies and prejudices of races,
widely differing in character and
tastes.
The distribution of plants from
the. experimental and propagating
gardens, from January 1 to May 1,
1867, amounted to 42,123; reaching
every State and Territory in the
country. Tho articles consisted
mainly of the smaller variety of
fruits, of which the grape has been
in large proportion. The main pur?
pose of the garden-that of testing
the respective merits of new varie
ties-is still kept strictly in view, and
all new varieties aro procured as
early as practicable, and the know
ledge gained concerning them embo
died in the department reports.
The report of the Secretary of the
Navy states that daring the year the
naval force has been almost exclusive?
ly employed on foreign stations; but
little remained for it in our own
waters. The display of a naval force
has been sufficient to suppress threat?
ened difficulties; and in every quar?
ter American interests have been
respected and American rights ob?
served during the year.
The aggregate naval force has been
reduced to 40 vessels and 482 guns.
The number of vessels in commission
has been reduced to 12, and the num?
ber in squadron service is 13 less than
at the last annual report. The total
number of vessels in use is 103, and
898 guns. The Secretary urges an
extension of the navy yards; says
they are too circumscribed, and that
tho estimates for improvements are
larger now than last year-owing to
the omission of Congress to make
any appropriation last winter. The
experiments at the Charlesto nn Navy
Yard, in the use of petroleum for
fuel under marine boilers, ehow that
convenience, health, safety and com?
fort are against its use. These are
abont all the main points of general
interest ic the report.

The Winnsboro Newe, of yester?
day,, publishes a communication,
signed by J. A. Hin nant, lo which
several certificates (sworn to before a
magistrate) are appended, in whioh
the author asserts that on the 9th day
of November last, he heard Beverly
Nash ?make tv speech at a barbecue
given by tho Union League in Fair?
field District, near Jacob Bookman's
mill: '
"Nash said the negro never would
get justice at law while the jury was
composed of white men; that there
had been already 210 negroes mur?
dered in ?South Carolina, (meaning
those that bad been hung,) and Qov.
Orr dare not curry into execution the
sentence passed by thc ' court Of
Picken s District, on the six negroes
to be hung and eighteen to be sent to
the penitentiary, for killing a boy
fourteen years old. If he did, he
would not remain in office sir days
after the Convention met. He told
the negroes to wait and not contract
yet, for there was better times ahead;
and not contract at all for the third,
for it was the little end of nothing;
and if th' y would wait until the 1st
day of February next, the white men
would get down on their knees to
them; the negroes could do better
without the white man than he can
without the negroes. He farther
said that the white man had always
been in power, and would always re?
main in power ii they did not gain it
at the ballot-box. If the Republican
party failed in the coming election,
rather than see the white man remain
in power, he would shoulder his mus?
ket and see these hills bleached with
bonos and the gullies mn with blood,
rather than remain under the white
man's power; and, pointing to the
crowd around, asked 'would they fol?
low him?'and the answer was 'yes,'
'yea* "
As we published the first statement,
with Nash's contradiction, we deem
it an act of justice to copy the above.
