REPORT OF THE Postmaster GENRRALs-The
following is "a condensed view ofthis able report
The Postmaster General believes there will be
falling off of forty-fye per cent. in the receipts
of the current year. and that there will be dimi.
mutton of the means of the Department of 81 ,32S,-
997.
The saving from former rates in New England
and New York in transportation the current year
/ is $232,732.
| The Railroad service is only one-tenth of the
whole, while they charge one-fifth of the whole
Should there be similar saving in letting the
contracts in other districts to that effected in thu
Northern, it will amount in lS47, '4s and 40, t.
81 ,005,732.
Compensation to Postmasters and Post Office:
during the year ending the 30th June, 1916, wa.
81 400, ,,875 16. Over 1000 Postmasters resign
ed On account of the new law.
The Postmaster General mentions case O
fraud On the post Office where in one envelope, or
which ST. go had been paid there were counte,
100 letters enclosed, which would have amounte,
TO $10.-
The Postmaster General thinks the single shee
system should be restored, or reduced to quartz
of an ounce for single letter.
/ The great weight of the mail is by carrying
printed matter. 1t composes nine-tenths of th'
mail, yet pays only one,tenth ofthe expenses.
The Whig creed., 1846-01-03

- PRoBABILITlEs OF A wAR.-The friends of peace
are, fear, [says the Washington correspondent
ofthe Charleston Mercury catching at straws.
There is ground for the rumor Of the re-
call of Mr.. Packenham, no reason for the
supposing that Great Britain will offer new pro-
positions, and cestain'y there is nothing in the
temper of Congress, of the people, or of the Ad-
ministration. that justifes the belief that the U.
States will recede from their7present position as
to Oregon.
The Whig creed., 1846-01-03

THE National Intelligencer, paper to which
all will concede great judgment and shrewdness,
thinks, from evidence which it deems satisfactory,
.sthat war, as means of adjusting the difficulty
with England. is not within any rational calcula-
tion of probabilities" So may it be.
The Whig creed., 1846-01-03

GCTON our first page we give chapter from
''Captin' Suggs' Adventures, showing how he

O6FOur friend Harry Of the West let down upon
us heavily last week. We can't stand that,-if
there is man in North Mississippi for whom we
have high regard and towards whom we have
felt the warmest friendship, it is friend Bacon
lfthere is one whose friendship and esteem we
would not lose, it is friend Bacon. If there is
representative extant of that class of men, who
have passed from the earth the true hearted gallant
Virginia gentleman-it is friend Bacon! and hence
we deprecate our poor attempts at wit, and espe-
cially that article, got up upon Typographical
error in the Harry, (Which thought innocent
enough in itself,) since they have, un-wittingly,
on our part, aroused the ire Of our friend. Are
we not forgivenl
The Whig creed., 1846-01-03

THE Southern Reformer, and Southron, will
each publish tri-weekly paper during the session
of the legislature. Will the Southron sendus their

The Whig creed., 1846-01-03

We are mortified to discover that the delegation
from Mississippi, in the Congress Of the United
States, do not occupy very prominent position.
From the published list of standing committees in
either House, it will be seen that our Senators
and Members are left out, if we except our JACOB,
who is chairman of the Committee OF Indian Af-
fairs, and Mr.. CHALMERS, of the. committee on
Engrossed Bills. This we did expect. Par
tizan feeling and the policy of the party may make
a temporary great of such men as Colonel
Roberts, Hon. General Speight, Judge Chalmers,
&C., but they take their proper level at Washing
ton. AS the democracy is progressive, to what
point will these men attain?

ing 1856 001, besides over 81 900 for binding, &c.
The Whig creed., 1846-01-03

THE Union ex plicitly contradicts the surmis
that any new propositions are to be offered t.
England or that the negotiation is to be transfer

OF Our Legislature meets on Monday next, and
'nirobile riSa! what concourse in the main, it
will be! It was charged upon wise one of the
last Legislature, that he moved ''that Alissis-
sippi declare war forthwith against Mexico be-
cause of her impudent opposition to annexation
May we not look out for similar effort with re-
ference to England! The self-styled 'antiBritish-
ere" in the Legislature, will doubtless, some OF
them, think itsncumbent upon Mississippi to take
that step. 1t will be fine plan to get some oft the
money paid to them, for manufactures. As the de-
mocracy is progressive, will not progression in
Reputation lead to this!
But, we hope they will leave the discussion of
national affairs to bodies, where it more appropri-
ately belongs, and set themselves to work in bet
tering the condition fittings at home. LetThcm
take up the subject of common schools, and de-
wise some feasible plan of educating the poor. Let
them, If they will not pay the debts of the State,
reduce. the taxes under which now oppres-
sed. Let them make proper disposition of theState
lands as to benefit the peoPle-pass premption
laws, &c.--graduate the price oflands, and spend
the proceeds of their sale in support of the COM
mon schools, clearing out rivers, sc. AS parson
