CLARKE, Buocewaor to Clarke Ac Lewis, IMPORTER A DEALER IN bub uieiicaiV niinm i mitten tfottfttletatji The Manufacture of Portage Stamp*. The Philadalphl* Ledger says : Tb* Postage Stamp Agency, which was lo cated in this city in 1856 by the Hon. Jamen Campbell, who was then Postmaster General, is a matter of some importance. The immense number of stamp# that are aow used, the con stant and regular iaoreaae of the consumption, under all the depressions *f business tbat we have had tine* the agency was established, shows that cheap, convenient mail arrange* menu are appreciated by ibe people. All postage stamp* for *11 post offices In the United Stales and Territories are manufactur ed in ibis city by Messrs. Toppan, Carpenter b Co., under a contract with ibe Post Office Department. The contract afford* steady em ployment and good wage* lor about thirty hends, one-third of whom are women. As ibe contract expire* in June next, it is hoped that thof* to whom ih* iniereat of our city in the government of the eountiy has b*en confided, will not neglect this important .mailer and cause a loss of this labor to our /peratives.— The business of this agency has from the be ginning been condueud by Mr. Jesse John son and two assistants, Mr. Edwin Lamasur* and Samuel L. Durand, to the entire satisfac tion of the Department at Washington. It is the duty of the agent to see tint all parcels of stamps are properly put up, aud to direct them, and to have each parcel registered at the Philadelphia Post Office. It involves ihe mailing end registering of about sixty thousand parcels per year, and, as it will be seen by the following table of stamps sent, tbat during the year lbbO ibe amount reached the enormous sum of over two hundred and twen* ty-ibree millions of dollars. The following table shows Ihe number and value of stamps sent from tbs agency since January 1st, 1850: Year. No. ol stamps.

Re-Infbrclng Fort Plckeus. There are evident signs in the movements snd policy of the Administration at Washing ton, to indicate and sustain the belief that Fort Pickens, at Pensacola, is to be re-infor- ced with United States troops. We ibiok it centin that the Federal troops, now in Texas, will be transferred to Ibe forts on the coast of Florida, for tbs purpose of attempting to “plunder our seas, ravage our coasts, burn our towns, snd destroy the lives of our peo ple,” and also for the purpose of “culling off our trade (in the Gulf) with all parts of the world,” This, we believe, is ike present insane poli cy of the Lincoln administration. If Fort Pickens is reinforced, the Confederate States will bs compelled to regard the set as a virtu al declaration of war, and Lincoln aud his Black Republican oohorts should be prepared for all the consequences which will result. The policy of tbs Government of ihs Con federate Slates has been to preserve the peace of the entire country ; but if their efforts are not appieclated, and a war of subjugation or extermination is inaugurated, the people of the South will be found ready and willing to sustain their present position by ihe use of all the means and appliances which modern war fare will enable them to employ. When tha Federal troops attempt to land their reinforcements at Fort Pickens, they will doubtless, make the acqusiotancsof CapL Bragg, and hear again from 8t. Clair Morgan, who is now at Pensacola, aad remem bered as the gentleman who, by his we.l di rected shots, induced the Star of ihs Weat to hurriedly retire from Charleston harbor.— Comtilutionalut, 21$/.
