MILITIA FORCE OF THE UNITED STATES. Abstract of the United States Militia, from the Army Register for 1846. 1. Post-Office Statistics for the year ending June 30, 1845, The Magnetic Telegraph between Baltimore and Washington has cost, between the 1st of April and the 1st of October, 1845, $3,244 99, and the receipts have been $413 44. Of 67 railroad contracts in New England and New York, only 35 have been adjudged in consequence of exorbitant demands. The railroad service performed is one tenth part of the whole; the pay they receive one fifth part. In 1838, the weight of the mails for one week in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and Richmond, was tested, and the whole weight amounted to 55,641 pounds. At present, it is believed, the printed matter is nine tenths of the weight conveyed, and it pays only one tenth of the expense. 2.
