The recent battle at Barboursville, Ky.
The following is the fullest account of the recent battle at Barboursville, Ky., that has yet reached us:
Camp near Cumberland Ford, Ky.,September 16, 1861.
We arrived here on the 14th instant, after a forced march of many hours--Capt. Rowan, company B, 1st Battalion of East Tennessee Cavalry, leading the van, and with Capt. Plumlee's company, forming the vanguard of the Brigade.
Our situation here is one which can be made impregnable, by the aid of a little work and the proper armament.--Where our fortifications are finished, we can say to the Northern invaders, come and fall back like the wave that would try to roll over the pillows of Hercules.
Since our advent into Kentucky, we have been doing picket and scouting duty, capturing arms and taking prisoners.
A number of muskets, rifles, and captains' swords have been our trophies.
On day before yesterday our affairs seemed to take a different turn.
Cols. Rains and Bran

The schooner had a cargo of 200 sacks of coffee, of two hundred pounds each, and 150, 000 cigars.
The gentlemen named were allowed to come ashore on parole, to return, we learn, so as to be sent to New York on a supply steamer to be expected shortly.
They were asked to take the oath, but refused to do so. Their personal effects were not taken.
The Mexican captain and three of his crew, we understand, also came as

Treasury notes and postage.
--The following letter in regard to postage was lately addressed to the Treasurer at Macon, Georgia:
Post-Office Department,Finance Bureau, Richmond, Sept. 20, 1861. Sir:
In reply to your letter of the 14th instant, to the Postmaster-General, I am directed to inform you that the payment of postage is not the payment of public dues, and was not so regarded by the Congress, nor was it so regarded under the old Government; but, that special authority is given by Congress to receive "Five Dollar Treasury Notes" for stamps and stamped envelopes, as soon as they can be procured.
That he hopes to procure and send them out for use in a short time.
And that the Postmaster acted according to law in refusing to receive them in payment of postage until stamps and stamped envelopes can be procured. Very respectfully, (Signed,) J. L. Lancaster, Acting Chief of Finance Bureau. J. E. Day, Esq., Macon, Ga.
