The Postmasters in the seceding States.

Washington,, Jan. 21
--Numerous applications continue to be received from postmasters in the seceding States for supplies of postage stamps. Before the orders are filled, an affirmative response is necessary to the question whether they do now, and will continue to hold themselves responsible to the Government, in conformity with the existing laws, for all the postal revenue received by them. The orders have been filled accordingly — the postmasters following the example of the Charleston postmasters. Thus far postal communication in the South is uninterrupted.

Judge Greenwood still has the tender of the Secretaryship of the Interior under consideration.
