REPORT OF THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL.
Post Office Department, }
28th November, 1831. J
To the President of the United States:
Si r: I ho following report of the progress ami condition
of this Department, is respect fully submitted.
flic revenues of tlio Department, being the amount of
postages within the year, commencing on the 1st of July,
1.830, am! ending the 30th of June, 1831, worn
_L §1.997,811 54
The expenditures of tho Department,
within the same period, were 1,935,559 36
Being for compensation to
post-masters §635,028 48
For transportation of the
1,252,226 14
For incidental expenses 4,830 14
Leaving an excess of revenue beyond
tho expenses of the •Department, a
mounting to 62,253 18
Of this sum there have been paid into tho
Treasury (being irregularly deposited
by collecting officers) »,Q3 &|
Showing a balance in favor of the Depart
ment, of 61,688 67
The surplus of revenue on the 1st July,
1830, .as stated in tho report of last year,
amounted to 148,724 22
Thus the surplus revenue at tho disposal
of the Department on the 1st of July,
1831, was ' $210,412 891
This surplus, reported as available, and at the disposal of
♦he Department, is founded on the statement in the report
of the late Postmaster General, of 1.82.8, and on the as
sumption that all tlie postages which have accrued sineo
my first report in 1829, will have been collected. Of the
postages returned within that time, it is confidently believ
ed the losses, in collection will not amount to ono fourth of
ono per centum.
Tlio whole amount of postages from July
1st, 1823, to July 1st, 1829, was §1,707,418 •t‘>
From July 1st, 1829, to July 1st, 1830 * 1,830,59.7 10
From July 1st, 1330, to July 1st, 1831 1,997,811 51
Tho increase of postages within the year
ending July 1st, 1829above the amount
of the year preceding, was §10.8,540 47
Tlio increase of the year ending July 1st,
1830, above the amount of the year pre
ceding, was 113,16408
Tiie increase of the year ending July 1st,
1931, above the amount of the year pre
ceding, was 147,228 II
Tho expenses of the Department for tlio
year preceding Jtilv 1st, 1823, exceed
ed its revenues in the sum of $25,015 .80
For the year preceding July 1st, 1.829 71,714 15
For the year preceding July 1st, 1.8,30 .82,124 95 i
But for Inc year preceding July 1st, 18.31,
the revenues of the Department havo
exceeded its expenditures in the sum of 62,252 18
The favorable terms upon which the contracts were
Iasi year made for the transportation of the mail in the
southern division, commencing on the first day of Janua
ry last, have assisted in producing the rosult exhibited
by the following laet:—The revenue of the Department
for the half year beginning with the first of January Inst,
exceeded the expenditure for the same period in the. sum
, . . §73,475 91
>' horca*, for Die half year preceding
tlio l*t of January, 1831, tho ex
penditure* exceeded the revenue
in the hum of -j3 223 73 •
—m—
I lie ulilcrcnrn in winch results con
stitutes the excess of revonno
over disbursements for lh« year
now reported, ol 62 252 18
From the 1st of July, 1830, to the
Ini July, 1831, the transportation
of the mall was increased in stages
•I”*! to 831,150 miles a year
On horseback and in sulkies 135,252 miles a year
Making an annual increase of transportation equal to
963,702 miles beyond the amount of any former period.
Many routes have also been improved, by substituting
elagos for horse mails, to the annual amount of 362,321
miles.
TI»o tofal annual increase of stage transportation from
July I, 1830, to July I, 1831, was 1,196,771 miles
The annual decrease ol transportation
on horseback, within the same
time, by substituting stages, was 228,069 miles
Miking the annual increase as above,
lo 969,702 miles
On the 1st of July, 1831, the annual transportation of the i
mail was,
In stages and steamboats 10,728,319 miles
On horseback arid in sulkies 4,730,311 miles
Making the whole animal transpor
tation equal to 15,469,692 miles
Other improvements arc also determined ori, in which 1
remote part# of the country are immediately interested;!
among them are. the establishme nt of a regular steamboat |
mail on the river Ohio, between GuayandoUe, in Virginia,
Cinrinnnii.in Ohio, and Louisville, m Kentucky ; lo form '
a daily connexion with the line of post roaches fan,,
place, and from Richmond, in Virginia, to GuayandoUe
and the improvement of the route to a daily linn between
Macon,in Georgia, Mobile,in Alabama, and New Orleans,
as to constitute a daily intercourse between N. Orleans 1
and the Atlantic cities, with a despatch of 12 days between
New Orleans amt this city.
I hesc two improvements are already in a state of pro
gress, ami it is expect-d will won be in complete operation.
The contracts for transporting the mails in the middle I
division of the Union. comprid»g the States of New Jer 1
sey. Pennsylvania. Delaware Maryland, Kentucky, and
Ohio, ami the Territory of Michigan, will end with the '
present year. In renewing the contract* f„r ,|,j* ,Hvl*i,.».! [
provision ha. been in.nlo for stage accommoj.ilwon, o\or56<'
miles of post roads, on which tin* mail had before been car
ried on horseback, and on wliirh the annual transportation
in stages will, from the 1st of January next, amount to
62,363 miles. On 1,603 miles ol post roads, where the
mail is already carried mi Magas, the frequency of trips
will also be increased to the annual amount of 407,621
miles. Uy these arrangements, an annual increase of
stage transportation is secured from tho 1st of January
next, of 169,889 miles wn that section. Tho value of
those improvement*, at the. lowest estimate, is ax follows:
469,369 miles of stage transportation, at
nine cents per mile, $12,290 01
Deduct 62.365 miles of horse transpor
tation superceded by stages, at lour cents
per mile, 2,191 60
Nett value of the improvements $39,796 41
The acceptances for tho new contract*,
besides the securing of these improve
mo,its, aro not so groat as tho amount notv
paid for the transportation on that division,
by $51,786 18. Tho renewal of the con
tracts, therefore, saves in money to the De
partment, tho sum of 51,767 18
Which added to the valtio of the im
provements, effects saving of 91,582 59
Other improvements, highly important in their charac
ter, arc proposed, tho decisions on which have been defer
red for further consideration.—It is however, anticipated
from the saving which has been effected in renewing the
contracts, that the Department will possess tho ability to
make some further improvements iu tin* division of mail
routes.
There were on the 1st of July last, 8,686 post offices.
To the plan adopted for their supervision and tho vigi
lance with w hich it is observed, together with the system
of finance which is strictly adhered to, may be attri
buted, in no small <Ugroe,the increasing prosperity of the
Department. I have the honor to be,
With liigh regard, votir obedient servant,

New York.—Official returns have boon published in
the New York papers of the votes given at the recent elec
tion, for a Senatorial candidate in the districts which were
contested. No opposition w as made to the anti-masonic
Senator in the eighth district. It appears, that instead of
there being a diminished vote, as lias been stated by the
opposition as an apology for their defeat,—tho number of
votes cast, is larger than it was last year.
The whole number of votes in those seven districts was
in 1830 207,061
In 1831 203,315
Increase of votes 1,254
The Jackson majority in 1630 was 21,933
in 1831 it is, 30,213
Nett Jackson gain. 8,280
Twenty-four of tho thirty-two members of tho Senate,
of three to one in that body*, and ninety-live or ninety-six
of the 128 momhors of tho Mouse, or three to one of that
hran-h al-o, over the combined opppodlion, of whatever
shape or hue, is the republican strength of the next legis
lature. I lie election of tho democratic Senator in seven
i*t the eight senate districts, by very large majorities in all,
showing an aggregate republican majority in those district*
of thirty thousand votes;—is the strength of Wen. Jack
son with the people of New York. Who then, asks the
Albany Argus—
‘Alter looking at these results, who ran doubt for a ino
moment that (l#n. Jackson will receive the electoral vote
of this stale in 1932? Who among us, that pretends to the
least familiarity with the politics of tho state or with the
feelings of the people, imagines that such will not he the
issue of the next campaign? Where is the loop on which
to hang a doubt? Tho truths, the sound principles and salu
tary measures of the present administration; the prosper
ous and elevated condition of tho country; and the honest,
fearless and reliable character of our venerated Chief Ma
gistrate, have so fully identified the cause of Andrew
Jackson with the interests of the people and the welfare
ot the nation, that it is not in the power of the opposition,
combined or separate, to w ithhold from him the vote of the
state. Whatever the opposition presses may say or afToct
to believe on the subject, they know that such will lie
•ho result. Lot then, every honed and reflecting citizen,
seriously ask himsolf, whether the present administration
for its principles or for its acts, merits his ho-tility, and
whether, if it does not, what hope, as well as what justice,
there is in opposition?”—Halt. Hep.

Kxtrad of a letter from a gentleman resitting in Gale
na, Illinois, to a J'riend in this County.
“I have just returned from Green Hay, where f had tho
pleasure of seeing an old friend, Col. S. C. Stamhaugh.
I fjund him deeply engaged in exploring the country, and
attending to tho Hay; and people the.ro, of all parties, unite
in according to him the highest praise. I have had an op
portunity of witnessing the course pursued by Indian
agents, and I can say with confidence, that Col. S. pos
sesses the best faculty for managing Indians of any 1 have
witnessed: They seem to love and fear him,—in fact, I
am told they refuse to recognise any other individual.
Last wiutcr a treaty was effected w ith the Menominee
Indians through his instrumentality, which will put tho
United S tates in possession of a trad'of country unsurpassed
by any in the world. It possesses advantages over this
state (Illinois) in tho important matters of w ater and tim
ber. This section of country suffers in many parts for both.
In many places you find prairies of twenty-five and thirty
miles, and not a slick of timber. I have not much doubt of
the ratification of the treaty, after which the land will b • '
thrown into market; then would I say to the farmer, the
mechanic, and the merchant, go to thai country, and for
tune awaits you.
On returning, Colonel S. accompanied me as far as a
P acc called La Itutc des Morts, signifying the llill of the
I’cad. Mis business was to call his Indians together to
J,avo vaccinated, in consequence of the iinoll pox
having been brought In Green Hay whilst I was there. I
was present at tlm vaccination of about ono hundred and
fifty.

60,000 ACRES OF LAND!
THE undersigned proposes to sell 50,000 acre* of fine
land in what is called the Western District of Tennes
see, among which is somo ofhis beat land, situate on tho
waters of Looshatchee, Big Hatcher, Forked Hcor, Obion\
and Mississippi rivers,—a large portion of which is the Best t
rotton laud in the State, and well adapted to the growth of
com, tobacco, and every other production common to the
same latitude. It is situated between latitude 35 and 36.
30! ! No new country possesses more advantages. Ten
years ago the whole population scarcely exceeded live hun
dred souls, it now contains largely upwards of one hundred
thousand—an increase beyond example, considering tho
whole District is not more than ninety miles square.—
Among the great advantages this fertile District has
over ail others, are the faeilities alibrded to trade and navi
gation:—hounded on the west by the mother of rivers, tho
great Mississippi, and on the cast hy the Tennessee river,
buth navigable at all seasons of the year, by the largest class
of steam-boats;—the main tributary streams are. navigable
with keel and flat boats—and the small class of stcain-noaD
ply regularly up Big llatoheo, as far as Bolivar, which is
situated near the centre of the District. A large portion of
the above lands lie on this stream and south of it, immedi
ately in that section where there are already many large
cotton farms. At this time, this section of country olTers to
capitalists great inducements;—land is unusually low—the
population of the most respectable character, industrious,
intelligent, and enterprising. ScIkniIs ami Academies arc
now in operation equal to the best in the State, and emi
grants arc daily coming from Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Ocorgia and Alabama; and many farms have Ween
opened to the extent ot 3 and 100 acres, producing more
cotton to the acre than any oilier laud in the same latitude.
Twelve years'experience has tested the salubrity of tho
climate—no new country was ever blessed with a greater
•diarc of general good health. Another great advantage
peculiar to this section of country is, that navigable streams
are so dispersed, that thero is no point at which a settlement
can he matte, that will exceed a greater distance from na
vigation than 20 miles, and that the Mississippi river is easy
<if access hy land carriage at many convenient points with
in this range of country,—whereas at no point below
Memphis, until you reach tin: Walnut hills, u distance of
tOO miles, can you approach tliir great river at high water,
on cillu-r side from the hack country hy land carriage,—
| owing to the extensive swamps and lakes on both sides
below the southern line of Tennessee. Another advan
tage may here he suggested to cotton planters—the
great distance west of the Alleghany Mountains—as a
degree west from said mountains is considered |>y ju
dicious and experienced cotton planters, equivalent to a
degree, south for the production of cotton. Such is
my exalted opinion of i!uh line country, that no rea
sonable price would induce me at this time to part from
so much ol my lands, did not the situation of my affairs
make it absolutely necessary to raise funds to discharge
the heavy debts which have been so long and harmssingly
pressing on me.—For the reason last mentioned, the under
signed wishes to make one Inrf'C sole, which will enable
him to close up hi* business at onc£. IF 50,000 acres can
be disposed of at one sale, I will give a great bargain oh
j tin* most liberal credits, say from one to ten years, by such
' instalments as may be agreed on.—I shall lie absent for the
next sixty days, during which time, those who wish to
purchase, can find a list of the different tracts at my office, in
Nashville, or they can apply to I,. I*. Cheatham,' Esq. who
is in possession ol my price and terms. When I return, 1
will show the lands to any desirous of purchasing.

Dl t 'A'l ION.—Tin- subscriber, for several years past,
A having labored muebtohis regret under tlic very many

prietor, and acknowledged to po u-ss such habits of moral

the last twelve years has been almost the exclusive em
ployment of the subscriber, looking forw ard to no other pro
fession for a support, hut making this his settled and perma
nent business for life, it is natural to suppose that he ha*
spared neither labor nor expense to qualify himself for tho
discharge of the difficult and responsible task of pleasing
both parent and rhild; a task which, notwitlisttinding it*
difficulty, without vanity, he can say, from the patronage
invariably received, has been performed, he hope*, to tho
entire satistarlion of nil heretofore interested in bis school.
This institution will be opened on the 16llt ol January, end

large, having its limit, which will not he exceeded. Tho
intention of the subscriber i* (o devote bis time and atten
tion particularly to hi* school, having employed an overseer
to take rhsrge of hi* few agricultural engagements.—The
discipline of this school w ill he humane; but offences will
invariably receive their due consideration, and not unfre
quently their deserved punishment.—letters directed to
Balnesvllle P. O., Amelia, will be attended to with prompt
ness and pleasure. JOHN II. DAY.
