THE GENERAL POST OFFICE. M

The Post Office Department is one OF the most in
erestng branches Of our government II IS The sure
and almost mysterious agent that carries the ntell-
gence of the country lakes and our rivers,
and along our highways and by-ways. Indeed there
is no point so distant, yet retired, as not to
bear the imprint of the postboy's track. One might
suppose that in the ten thousand routes that cross
each other at every point OF the compass, that some
great accidents might occur to prevent the regular
delivery Of the mail Yet il goes on with the regu-
arty of the clock meeting but few or no Interrupt
tons The post boy is ever on the wing There IS
no moment of time in which his flight across the coun-
try is wholly interrupted. Night and day he spurs
ahead, either by horse power or steam power, or
travels on foot lone Indian path in the new ter
ritories bearing the mail upon his person. In this
way every is under deep obligations to the Post
Office Department. The Government itself is large
ly concerned in its wide reaching Journeys 1t gives
speedy information of all matters worthy of note in
the nation. The condition of our whole border re-
gon is despatched the President by every mail that
leaves it, And this is effected at little or no cost to
the Government
The letter and paper postage received from indi-
viduas has from the origin OF the Government up TO
the present day. with but one two small approprla-
lions from the United States Treasury, paid toI the
trans of all the letters that have passed to and
fro throug hout the Union. 1t pays the salary Of the
Postmaster General and all his deputies, and his in
mum Iable clerks Ii pays all the mail contractors.
In one word, this fund not only maintains the Post
Office Department but 1t carries the letters of the
President and all the Heads of Departments and diff
feren bureaus, free 1t transmits all the letters and
youminous documents of the Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress also free of cost Such an instl-
tuition would hardly imagine could be managed
and controlled by single head re iding at Washing
ton. And yet this is the fact AT all times and on
all occasions has been admitted that the chief OF
the Post Office Department ought to be possessed OF
the best business habits, and a mind of high range
Of intellectual powers.
Without undertaking. those who have gone before
him. we think we may say, IN great truth, that Gov.
Wckliffe has every qualification for this emnently
responsible office U nder his admin tration of the
Department may expeci TO see Its duties executed
with he str ces fidelity. 1t is in fact office that
may be said to belong TO The people ss it is executed
without receiving it's funds from the National Trea
sury and one hat The people may well look into with
searching scrutiny.

WAR Department,


Information has reached this Department, that the
laws prohibiting the introduction of sprituous liquors
into the Indian country are continually evaded by
some of the licensed traders who deal in the article
within State or Territory and there sell to the
Indians on credit, and subsequently receive their pay
in the course of their traffic in the Indian country
With view 10 carry into execution the full spirit
and object of the law and to prevent, as far as may
be within the power of this Department, the intro
ucton into their country and the use 10y the Indians,
of an article destructive to them and calculated to
produce such injurious consequences upon their peace
fl relations with the United States the several SUI
perintendcnts and Agents of Indian Affairs having
authority to grant licenses to traders, are hereby
instructed to withhold license from every person
who buys, sells, or in any way deals in whiskey, or
any other spirituous liquor, within any Territory OF
State or who is connected in business with any one
dealing in such liquor. And the said Superlntend-
ents and Agents will give notice to all persons having
licenses as traders, who are dealers IN splrltuous
liquor that unless within three months from the Time
of such notice they and abandon such dealing
their licenses will be revoked and they are directed
to revoke accordingly the licenses OF all traders VINO
shall purchase sell or deal in spirituous liquor, in
any form mode, or place after the time specified in
such notice ,,.,n

In taking review Of some Of the measures

took occasion to notice in passing the effect
that they would necessarily have in cncourag

can be raised by the most fastidious advocate OF

Intelligence of the approval of the Resumption act
by Governor Porter was received in this city on Sun
day. 1t is intended to go into operation at once.
We understand that the demand for specie yesterday
was quite moderate but that little or none paid
out the directors of the Banks not having official in
formation of the passage of the BILL and perhaps not
having decided their in relation to it, II is
supposed by some that the accepting banks will resist
the act as unconstitutional, until judicial decision
is had upon 1t ; and that the non-accepting banks
having but little paper of their own in circulation,
