Old Stannard'.sNhot.

A man from Milton, Wisconsin, who was familliarly known as "Old Stannard," Avas a messmate of mine in that famous and once terrible regiment of sharpshooters commanded by Col. Berdan. He Avas well knoAvn as a "brag shot" at home, and soon established a like reputation in the army. After doing some hard service on the Peninsula with McClellan, we were recalled to help Pope out of his dilemma on the Rappahannock, and joined his forces just before that bloody second Bull Run battle, in which occurred the incident of which I write.

In the alternoon of the last and hardest day's fight, the rebels posted some riflemen in the tops of some pine trees that formed a narrow belt along a portion of a field a little in advance of their main line As these men were fine marksmen, their elevated position enabled them to pour up on us afire too galling to be borne with patience, and it Avas soon decided that they must be dislodged.

In June last, Postmaster General I "Randall advertised for proposals for furnishing the government with postage stamps for a term of years. The committee of experts appointed for the purpose, decided, in favor of the National Bank Note Company of this city, and on Saturday, October 3d, the Postmaster General aAvarded the contract to that company lor a term

The thirty cent statu}.) has a copy of a painting of the surrender of Burigoyne, hanging in the rotunda of the

National Capitol. One of the charaotcristies ol'the stamps manui'aeturied by this company is that the ink u.-ed prevents persons washing and I using the stamp a second time. The liber in the center of the stamp is broken completely, and they adhere bet-. iter, while the ink of cancellation sinks into the paper.

The engravings on these stamps are remarkable copies of historical pictures, and bear the test of a microscopical examination.—
