Number and Valu of Stomp and Stamped Envelope" Isiwd. Uurinc ihe fiscal year 634,054 610 postave stumps, of tho value of (jlO.177,827, 26 644,800 stamped envelopes, amountiog to f.oo.OrJ 60. and 1,04,000 newspaper wrappers, amounting to Sill, 490, were icsoed. Alio total value 01 these tssnet was 10,974 829 fiO, which, compared with thn isne of iba prnvious year, ($10,33S,-760.) shows an inorease of S365.60M 60. or about b per rent. The value of the stampi, and stamped envelopes soa was siu,nu 5SU 68, and the amount used in tho prepay ment or postage was $u.Bf8,l6n til. Amount of stamps l.osl m im Juau. not withstanding this enormous issue, Ihe losses of stamps in tho mails amounted only to SI.200, and of envelopes to Sol 80. This result, may be in part aitribniod to the sys tem of registering ench package of stamps and envelopes mailed, and to the fact that mute agents and postmasters at separating offioeB are also instructed to keep a record of all such packages passing through their offices. During the year 1859, (the year immediately preceding tne edoption of tins system of registration,) the value of postaee stamps rattled amounted to &r,ZjVM0. whilst the louses in transmission during tho last six months of that period were b4,H78. Since that time the 'losos have decronsed, although the issue has increased about 92 per cent. Number of Pitckapes of Stamps ltnted, The number of packages of stamps sent nut during the year was 08.600, and tbe claims allowed for deficiencies In the number of stamps amounted to only $29, and in the stamped envelopes 60 cents, showing groat care on tne part or those intrusted wnn ui branoh of the business.

I refer to oases where, by reason of tho presence of armed forces, a post ollice is destroyed, and the postmaster loses the fixtures and furniture, and to cases where the loss is occasioned by our own troops. Ihe report of my prod - (lessor two vears since recommended that rfuch losses be provided for, and 1 invito at- ontion to the subject, as several snob claims nave been made, where tho losses have oc curred through no fanlt of the postmaster. fltw Contract for stamped tnvelopei. Dur- tig tbt last session of Congress a bill was passed tor the relief of the contractor fur furniBbluff Ihe department with atamned en velopes aud newspaper wrappers; under the provisions 01 wlnoh tne ex iniug oontraot expired on Hep! ember 11, 1804, when a con dittonal contract was made, to expire Do comber 81, 1864, at an advanoed rate for stomps and envelopes. Itsue of Aewpaper n rappers Discontinued. After th? award of the contract above re ferred to, tho department and tho contrac tor received a protest from a party in New one claiming to be tno patentee or nows paper wrappers, with notios that he should assort his rights. Uoder these ciroumatan- and in view of the enormous advance n the coutract price of the article, tho do pAvlmeut decided to discontinue the issue lor Ihe presft&t. NotwniistnudiLg the advaaoe of every iirttoie used iu the msnulacturo or stamps, and thi Urge increase in tho number re- mred by the department, llie National nk Note Company, or Mew lork, have fulfilled, in a satisfactory manner, all their 'ligations, it is due to these contractors to add that they receive for postage stamp but twelve cent per thousand, whilst the contractors for internal revenue stamps re ceive ttiiny-turee eents per thousand. tfeveu temporary olerks have been em- rtoyed for several years, who are paid out T tho appropriation for postage stamps and amped envelopes, and as they constitute a portion of the necessary force of tho de partment, 1 suggest the propriety of provid g for them by law. rtoxTH.it; rs.

Inquiry has been mado of Lieutenant General Urant relative to tbe existing arrangements for supplying our armies with mails, with tho assurance of my earnest purpose to co-operate with him in carrying into effeotany desired improvements of that sorvice; and I am gratified to learn from his reply, that the system of re ceiving and forwarding mails now in operation Is entirely satisfactory; and that "our soldiers receive their matter with as much regularity end promptness as ie possible for , armies in the bold, and with perhaps fts much celerity and security as the most fa vored portions of the country."

Delays of Letters in mstribuhM ion OfJt- eet. For miny years the regulations of this apartment havo required that every post ollice should mail letters direct to everv ther offce not on tho route to any distrib uting office, and that all other la iters shou'd be mailed to the first distributing oflico on he route to their destination, involving coosiueraote expense ana ueinys tn the transm:9.ilon dT tho mails. Thib subject has een frequently referred to in rurorts ol this depnrt.mGi.it. Elaborate distribution schemes have been proposed to improve ih xistin; svftleui, which still is cousiderod feotivo. Cott of Distribution. Tbe majority of let ters are now subjected to delays, while the xpense attending the work in Iwnnly-lwc iBtributmg poat udices amounted, during he fourth quarter of 18'14, to nearly two indred thousand dollars, being at the rate of eight hundred thousand dollars per year, or about sixty-two per oentum of the whole xpenso of o'erk-lnra in allomoes. jfKitfl-'i J out utrfcea. the mailing of all Iters direct irom one omce toauother, how ver situated, in so vait a torritory as that m braced within tho United wares, is ob jectionable.

Uterus and aupertnienwnu for Jtauwug 'ott Offices. In order to moke the work of railway post offi cs effectual, a chaugo in ho modo of mailing letters is noccsaary. All offices cannot mini dinct, neither can all mail to a railway offica. Tbe work will, herefore, be divided hotween head offioeB tnd route offices, the former being those hioh are the initial or terminal points of routes, aud tbe latter thoso omces or sta- Giia on the direct Hue of a road from which there aro no post-roads diverging. Additional clerks, as well as superintend ents and traveling postmasters, will be re- lulred, for whom 1 recommend provision bo made by law.

The IssBiftcailon of oiliccs alone will require me and labor, and lor the prr sent opera- ions will be Homed to ft few principal rail- oftd lines, uotn the necessary classifica tion is completed, and the railway distribu- on organised, it is anticipated that addi- ional expenses will be involved ; but It is ped that the hual eireot will be to reduce he expenses connected with tho present tan 01 uisiriDution, uuuer me new law, Iso, which took effect first of July last, all ' accounting for paid loiters has beeu dis- neiiflod with, thus savin? accouuts.

The ac counts from the same offices for the quarter ndeil 30th Biptember last, during which langes were only partially introduced, how a saving in this respect of nearly fifty per cent. Thus in various ways the ordi- ary expenses or post omces are expected n be diminished so as to compensate for ho costof railway distribution. But, wheth- this result be fully attained or not, the expedition of mails will be insured. yORElClN HAIL SERV1CB.

Our arrangement with Canada adopts Ihe principle of optional prepayment, in both countries, of the combined rate of international postage, each country retaining all the postage which it 00! lee is. It is the most simple form of international postal ar ran cement, inasmuch as it dispenses en tirely with accounts between Iho respective post dcp-irtmouts, and has been adopted with nil tbe other provinces except New foundland. With the view of securing uniformity In our postsl arrangements with thoso provinces, a recent effort was made to obtain the concurrence of Newfoundland In a like arrangement, which J regret to say was unsuccessful; the British post department declining to give its aeeent to Ihe measure, on account of the additional British packet postage of four pence sterling, which is levied for the sea serviee to and from the island, and accrues to Oreat Britain, Oreat Britain. Additional articles to the United States and British postal conven tion have been agreed upon, cenaututm the British packet agency at Colon an of fice for the exchange of mails with the post- ofhee of New York, by means or the unite Urates packets plying between those ports; toe ohjeot being to prevent the delay oorrespondenoe forwarded from the United states to ports and piae.es on the Atlant coast and interior of New Granada, prev ously caused by its transit across the Isth mus to and from Panama.

There are other ocean routes besides the one to Brazil, which can he safely and profitably ocouplsd in American lines of mail steam ers, among which the route between Sin Francisco, Japan, and China, at present unoccupied by foreign mail packets, is perhaps the mo?t Important in a commercial poi-1 of view, and may be made available in securing to us s large participation in the commerce of tho East, the greater portion of which is now enjoyed by Great Uritain through her mail steamship connections, via Sues, in the Indian ocean and China seas. The central position of the United States between eastern Asia and western Europe, a (lording routes but little longer, if any, ban those now traversed between these distant rogious, aided by the superior expedition of railway transportation between tho Atlantic and Pacific coasts, will furnish such facilities as will make their ndoptiou a practical necessity for the commercial lu te rco urse between Europe and the populous countries of eastern Asia. Thcso considerations, and others which will readily suggest themselves, render it important that the Paeitio routes properly belonging to us, should be occupied by American mail steam ers, the profits of which, with the addition of a small subsidy for the mall service, would justify the establishment ot one or more stcambhip linos, which would be re munerative to the proprietors.

The gross revenue derived from the dead letter postage collected on the letters sent out aud delivered amounted to $23,558 28, out of which were paid the olerka employed in redirecting them. The collection of postage on such returned letters complicates the accounts under the law fixing salaries for postmas- lew. These letters must be entered at the mulling, and then at the receiving office. and pobtage collect el; and each as cannot be delivered must be credited to tho post master when sent to the dead letter office. The aim of tho department is to have no unpaid letters in tho mails, and to collect all revenues by liieans oi postairu stamps. avoiding the necessity of keeping accounts. n 111 ture, postmasters are to enter in their accounts only unpaid letters, which are mostly from or to foreign countries, and it seems inconsistent to Bend thousands daily from this department with instructions to uLer them and collect postage. The amonnt comparatively small, and yet the attend- nt labor very considerable. I therefore suggest, as a matter for the consideration CongreBS, the propriety of restoring pre paid letters to tbe owners free of postage, especially tn view or the tact that a very larce proportion go lo persons of moderate Who! number of Dtad Ie(ter sent out, The number of domestic letters of all descriptions sent out from the dead letter office during the year was 1,403,998. In nddi-tion to these largo numbers of lettors bearing requests for their roturn to the writers if unclaimed a specified time, are, returned hy postmasters without passing through tho dead letter office, and constant efforts are made to promote this mode of relum. Foreign dead letters. The number of letters returned unopened to foreign countries during the year, was 162,691, the amount of unptiid postage -on which was $9,101 63 The number received from foreign countries in the same condition, during the Bame period, was 62,427, and the amount of unpaid postago thereon ?2,088 57. (For particulars, see table No. 10 of Appendix.) During the first year of the rebellion, tho number of letters which passed between the Uuiteu HtnteB nnd European countries de creased, while at tho Bame time the ratio of letters returned increased. Each subse quent year the correspondence has been increasing, while tho ratio of dead letters re turned to Europe has decreased, (sco table Io. It or Appendix.) Unclaimed Money in Vsad Letters By au thority of an act of Cugross, the unclaimed money from dead letters is nsed to promote the efficiency of the dead letter office, by providing temporary clerks to assist in the ex amination and returu of letters. The fund thus realized was S5.083 47, to which was added tho proceeds of the sale, hereinbefore referred to, $1,175 27, making a total i6.258 74. Deducting the amount expended for clerks, $2,966 82, and incidental expenses, $32 80, a balance romained, June 30, 1864, of $8,259 12. POSTAL HOSFV-OBDKE SYSTEM. The act approved May 17, 1864, author ized the Posiotaater General to ostablisb, "under such rules and regulations as he may tiud expedient and neoeBsary, a uniform moeey-order system at all post offices which he may deem suitable tnererort and it further provided that this system should be put into operaHon during the tisoal year ending June 80,1865. A superintendent ana assistant nave been appointed, one hundred and forty-one post omues have been designated as money-order offices, nnd the operation of the system commonoed on the Arat instant. The masimum amount for which a mouey- ordcr can bo issued is fixed by law nt thirty dollars, the object of the system being to afford a cheap, Immediate, and safe agency for tbe trunster through the mails or tmall mm) of money. The tendency of Ihe sys tem is to excludo money trom tne mntis, tne presence of which in letters is a frequent cause of (he loss of correspondence, even whon the latter does not oontain money. Tho limit of thirty dollars is believed to be sufficiently large to inolude all that class of remittances now sent in money llirougii tne mails, but in exceptional caeos more ihun one order can be prooured. The avcrago amount contained in caoh money letter received at the dead letler office during the fiscal year 1802 was J4 63; during 1808, it waS4 20; and in 1X64, o its snowing that, as a rule, money remittances are mado in Braall amounts. Emlanation of tto fluifem. The modo by which safety in the transfer of money is sc oured, consists in leaving out of the order the name of tne payee or party ror wmra Iho money is intended. In this respcot a money-order differs from an ordinary bank draft or check. When a money-order io applied for, tho postmaster will furnish the a .plioant with a printed form or application, in whioh the latter will enter nil the partioulnvs of amount, name, address, &c required to be stated in the money-order and advico. t rom too ueiua cuuitue-i m such application the postmaster will All up the money-order and also the corresponding form of advice. The order, when completed, is handed to Iho p-plioant, npon payment of the sum express ed therein anrt ot tuo ree annrgeuiB iuere-on. By the mail immediately following the issue of a money-order, tho postmaster transmits tho oorrerpondlng advioe to the postmaster at the offioe upon whioh it is drawn. The latter ia thus furnished, before the order itself oan bo presented, with the neces'ary information to detect fraud, if any should ha attempted. Ameney-or-derls rendered invalid unless it is presented to the postmaster on whom It is drawn within ninety days from its date; but the Postmaster General oan issue a new order on Oi applloation of tha payee. ope Ihe p lyment of a second fee. The same course is to be pursued should the order be lost. Ia this ease, the payee is to furnish a statement, under oath, that the order has been lost or destroyed, accompanied by tbe certificate of the postmaster that It has not been paid, and will not be paid if thereafter presented. The payee may transfer his ordor to another party by his indorsement to that effect; but more than one indorsement is prohibited. Persons, therefore, residing at places In the vicinity of those designated in the list of money order offices cm generally avail themselves of this system.Iu commencinr the monov-order busi ness, It has been deemed expedient to begin with the larger offioes, and extend it to others at rapidly as possible. Measures will also be taken for its introduction in the army. The establishment of the ystem In thia country will no doubt lead to arrangements for the Interchange of International money-orders with tbe soveral f. reign countries with which we have direct postal relations. Additional legislation suawUd. Jty the eleventh section of the act above referred to, postmasters are prohibited from depositing in any bank money-order funds of which they have the custody. I would re spectfully suggest-that the business would be facilitated by enabling the postmasters having moneys from this souroe to deposit in the national banks designated by the Seeretary of tho Treasury as depositaries of the public moneys, to their own credit, and at their risk, and thereby relieve tha department from tho necessity of furnishing rnuiiH unu sates, ouostantiai advantages would also result to the mihlin tntaraata by permitting all deputy postmasters to deposit in these banks any public moneys in thoir hands, under like conditions: audi recommend such modification of the law as will authorise such deposits to be made on er the direction or the 1'ostmaster tienerai. 1 have the honor to be, very respectfully. your obedient servant.
