Be pleased to accept, gentlemen, one and ujj, my gratelul thank*, not only for the elegant and useful present, but for the words ot kind commendation and hopeful cheer with which it is bestowed. Trust ine, this sword shall never be drawn, while in my possession, save in the cause of "Union and Liberty ;" but for that cause it shall be wielded until rebellion is crushed, or this right arm is pulseless; and in the coining conflict it shall be my endeavor to attest by acts the noble confidence you have so graci ously conveyed to my humble self. Again thanking you, I stibscrilie myself, sin cerely and gratefully, your obedient servant, J. A. (.KEMIER, 2d Lieut. Co. C, 5th Maine Vols. :r~A ballot, in all respects similar to the Republican Union ballot, excepting that it bore tlie naine of Darius H. Iugraham for Municipal Judge, was circulated in the various wards yesterday. Some few of them were de posited before the l>ogus ticket was discov ered. It was then kicked overl>oard without much ceremony. Mr. Kingsbury's majority was reduced some few votes by this unscrup ulous way of electioneering. We do not know who got up the ticket; but we do know that they were not printed at the office where the regular ticket was printed.

From Port Royal—1 be Attack on Charleston Delayed by a Storm—Cole's Island in Possession of federal Troops. Nkw Vokk, April 7. The Hilton Ilead correspondent of the Tribune, under date of March 31, states lliat rough weather is now the only oils Licit' to the immediate consummation of the aggressive plans of II tinier and Admiral Du Pont. We coiitldently look for the sailing of the last of the Irou-clads remaining in port and the fleet of transports for the |><>;ut of attack iu the course ot the next three days at larlhest. Several of the surl boats, prepared for llie expedition, were wrecked by the storm on the beach last night. Their loss, however, will not result in any detention, (ten. Hunter's flag ship will lie the Ben. Deford. The admi ral will have tlie Wabash here, ami |>ersonally direct the movements of the iron clads from the Ironsides. The correspondent of the Herald writing from Cole's Island, S. C, nine miles Irotn Charleston, 28th ulu, slates that the lUOlh N. Y. regiment lias landed and taken possession of that island, which is at the confluence of Stonoatid Κ ally rivers, and counected with Jaines Island by a causeway. Elections in Missouri.

FlUey, "Claybank" or Blair Emancipationist, and about 1100 over Joseph O'Neil, "Copperhead." The Radicals will have a large majority in the CoudcU. Our Foreign Affaira. New Yokk, April 7. The Times' Washingtori dispatch says the mails by the British steamer, expected here with considerable anxiety, did not arrive. Il is needless to disguise the I'act that to some of the most prudeut and Intelligent statesmen connected with the Government, our relations Willi Ureal Britain seem to be more precarious than they have at any time been since the Trent aflair. Trial of Privateers. San Francisco April β. Four of the prisoners captured in this har bor on the pirate schooner Chapman, are to have a trial by a military commission at Fort Alcatras, there beiug proof of their having taken the oath of allegiance to the federal gov ernment since the commencement of the re bellion. The peualty and forfeiture of being in the service of an enemy in Ihe capacity of privateers is death. sr Fernando Wood says in a published letter thai he shall obey the conscription law until it is judicially condemned, but will not give up the privilege of denouncing it. A lit tle while since he would, If Governor, allow no conscripted troops to be removed from his State, unless they were marched over his dead body. It seems his ambition to become dead Wood lias subsided. EyOur bluenose neighbor* are not afflict ed with the sin of ofllce-seekiug, of course, though in Ihe St. John Morning News we flud a whole column filled with notices to the elec tors of different wards of the city by patriotic gentlemen who announce themselves as candi dates for Aldermen, and who are pompous in their promises of what they will do for the public weal If elected.

Order from the Post Office Department. Sailing of Iron-Clad· from Port Koyal. AGENT FOR THE COLLECTION OF ABANDONED PROPERTY. WAhHINUTON, April 7. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue lias derided that whenever distillate is removed, and the i|it»ntity shall have been reported to the collector ol' the district to which the remo val is made, and a certificate thereof given by said collector ol' the district from which the removal is made, the bond required by a former decision shall beconcelled. The following decision has been made by the Secretary of the Treasury, arisi: g upon'ap peals by importers Irom the decisions ol col lectors, on certain articles entered at the ports of Boston, New York, 4c. Beiieole or ben zono, as it must clearly resemble spirits tur pentine, is subject to the same duty, viz: IS cents a gallon. The exaction of $6 per ton on old iron boilers is overruled for one reason, among several others, that to constitute an importation within the true meaning of the law, the arrival must be voluntary with the interest to import, which was not so iu this case. Tanned calf skins were properly as sessed 30 percent., the act ot July last impos ing an addi'ional doty of & per cent, on tanned leather of all descriptions. The exaction of 10 per cent, discriminating duty on suudry merchandise imported In Spanish bottoms is affirmed, Spain having no reciprocal treaty with the United States for the exemption of such duties. Common blue printed India chince was projierly assessed 40 per cent advaloretn; vellum cloth 30 ad valorem ; mus lin de laines and goods of a similar descrip tion 2 cents a square yard and 30 per ceut. advalorem. Cotton importers having made entry before the act of the 1st of August.lSrt2, went into effect, but were unable to complete It by causes beyond their control, the goods must be considered subject to the rate of duty existing on the 31st of July last. me ιiiuiaii uiiicau uaseiiKTivu IllUJtt irtîUlj of friendship with the representatives of the Kiowa*.

The delegation of Ules now here express a fiiendly disposition, and doubt less a treaty will be made with the tribe dur ing the next summer. These visitors will re turn to their homes this week. The Post-Office department has just issued an order to postmaster^, directing them, from and after the 1st of May, to collect in specie, or its equivalent, all postages due on unpaid letters from foreign countries in the mail·' dis Ktched to this country from Great Britain, ■land, Krance, Prussia, Hamburg, liremeu or Belgium. The order at present applies on ly to those mails. Ou outgoing mails the ex isting regulations remain un-hanged. Poet ages collected on foreign letters must be ac counted for to the foreign governments in specie or lut equivalent, and hence this order by the authorization of Congress. It is officially known here that the United States fleet of gunboats and iron-clads left Port Royal 011 Wednesday last, and would probably reach the scene of operation Thurs day evening. I'p to thrée o'clock this after noon nothing further was known of their movements. Win. P.

Collins reports that while at Fort Phillip, Southwest 1'ass, he was boarded by a Uuited Slates boarding officer, who reported having received a telegram from New Orleans, stating that the rebels had beguu to evacuate Port Hudson. A scouting party of thiiteen rebels had been captured near Raton Rouge. Col. Dudley's brigade lind made an expedi tion to a |R>iiil on the west side of the Missis sippi, half way between Port Hudson and l'oiut Coupee, and burned 'he rebel steamer Hope with iKKl barrels of molasses, and at the Hermitage destroyed ltÛX> barrels of molasses, a rebel machine shop, and a granary contain ing Ιό,υΟΟ bushels of corn, besides several buildings, including the post-office.

The bridge was 5U0feel long. A large amount of flour, tobacco and other stores fell into our hands. Our forces now occupy i'onchatoula, Springfield and l'as» Manchec, and the rebel cavalry is saiil to be so hedged, in that e»ciij>e is difficult. Three cotton laden schooners were captured near Ponchatoula. Collector Ballell had · .tended all trans portation permits above New Orleans unless a military necessity until otherwise ordered. This has been necessary to prevent attempted frauds.

The rebel loss was from 15 to 20 killed, a number wounded ami UO prisoners. Gen.

They hail receiv ed and mounted more heavy guns, ami are well supplied Willi ammunition. It is the. opinion of well informed officers that our guuboats will not succeed in taking the place. The country along: the Tallahatchie is occu pied by rebel cavalry, and swarms with guer rillas. One of our Mu«<|ulto boats captured live rebel raftmen at the moulli ol Cold Water river, and indications of attempts to place tor pedoes in the channel have been discovered.
