bunglingl y impeached the honor, patriotism,
and services of the two Generals, who are ell
loglzed IN those letters. One of the Generals
(Plllow) denies, in a card published in Mex
co. the authorship OF the letter attributed TO
his pen by Gen. Scott The other General
(Worh) prefers charges against Scott, ana
Scott arrests him for contempt Cen Pillow
was arrested because he appealed from an O.
pinion of Scott, requesting the latter to trans
nit the appeal to the Secretary OF War. Scott
refused IN a haSty mann"f !; whereupon the
former remarked, & will do it, sir.'' Then
arrest you, sir was SCOTS reply. So mat
tiers stand at last dates.
The army is excited, and if we may judge
from what we hear at this distance, more than
moiety of it sympathizes with the Generals
sought to be disgraced. 1t is said that on {
visit to the theatre by Gen. Pillow, an audi
ence OF over 5000 being present, he received
three hearty cheers; Immediately after which
the army gave three more for Gen. WORTH
This looks as though these Generals were no
disgraced in the eyes of the arnly-that same
glorious army that has earned for itself thu

THE MAILS AGAIN-There is no one who
rangement in the transportation Of the North
ern Mall bat still we know that this derange-
ment, however vexatious TO all classes of the
community, is not the fault of Mr.. johnson,
the Postmaster General. The editor of the
Fayetteville Observer thinks that the manner
in which the department is managed, IS dis
graceful but we think if he will read the
communication made by Mr. Johnson to the
Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, he
himself will be willing to admit that the Post
master General is not to blame. We think
the Observer ought, in justice to all concern
ed, to make itself acquainted with the facts
before it undertakes to make such unmeasur-
ed structures as it has INDUCED in. Besides,
the weather has been such during the past ten
days, as almost to prohibit the regular trans
portat;on of the mails upon any route now in
existence between Washington and Peters
burg.
Mr.. johnson, it seems TO US, has done all
in his power to insure the accommodation of
the public, and if he has failed, it is not his
fault The community, however, cannot, We
think, fail to view with apprehension, the
course pursued by the Fredericksburg and
Richmond Rail Road Company, Upon the
head of that Company, we think the whole OF
the blame must rest. The Postmaster Gener-
al not only offered to pay the Company the
highest rate he was authorized by law to give
any Company, but he was willing that the
mail should be transported over the road with
out any contract, till the meeting of Congress
so that the Company might have an opportu,
nifty of applying to that body for authority tc
the Postmaster General 10 allow it more COM
pensaton. But no; the President of thai
Company peremptorly refused to carry the
mail one day longer, unless Mr.. johnson
would pay him more than the act of Congress
would authorize. The Postmaster General
had no alternative He could not violate
law, and therefore he aras compelled from
sheer necessity, to place the mails upon anoth
err less favorable route Who is to blame, We
ask the Observer:

1t is very questionable whether the two leu"

ARE REPUBLICS UNeRATEFUL I'VE think
that, so far as the United States are concerned,
this question may be safely answered in the
negative. Those officers who have recently
returned from Mexico, the scene of their so
numerous gallant exploits, have been every
where received with the most unbounded de-
monstrations Of grateful enthusiasm. Witness
Gen. Taylors reception in New Orleans. Wit
ness the progress of Gems. Shields and Quit
man from New Orleans through Alabama,
Georgia, and South Carolina. Indeed. witness
the popular demonstrations which have greet
ed all the gallant spirits who have returned
from Mexico. And, by the way, is it not a
little singular that the heroes of this "unholy,
unrighteous and damnable war;" should every
where meet, at the hands of the people, with
such unbounded gratitude and respect There
seems to be something of contradiction in
this matter, and we would advise our Federal
friends to examine into it.

NATIONAL CONVENTIONAL writer in the
Union suggests that the Democratic members
of Congress should hold consultation on the
9Th of next month, and fix upon the time and
place of holding the next National Democratic
Convention, for the nomination of President
and Vice President. We like the idea, and
hope it may be adopted. If the Democratic
members of Congress were to unanimously
recommend the time and place OF holding the
Convention, we feel assured that it would be
responded to by the press from one end of the
Union to another. At present the press is d.
vided about the matter, and for one, we see
no better plan of settling the question than
that suggested by the Unions correspondent
ABOLITION PETITIONS IN CoNGREss.-Al-
ready we notice that the fanatics are beginning
to stir up the Abolition question in Congress,
On the 22d, John P. Hale, the mongrel Sena-
tor from New Hampshire, introduced two De-
titons. praying Congress to take steps to abol-
ish slavery. The Senate very promptly laid
them to sleep upon the table In the House.
Mr. Giddings also introduced similar docu-
ments, when, upon the vote being taken for
laying them on the table, there was tie, and
the Speaker, Mr.. Winthrop, gave the casting
vote for the reception of the petitions on the
next day, however, Mr.. Lyon, of Va, OBJ
served that bis vote had been incorrectly re-
corded, and therefore the petitions, or rather
the motion TO receive them, would have been
laid upon the table without calling upon the
casting vote of a Wig Speaker We do trust
that Congress will have frmness and patriot
ism enough to deal always thus summarily
with these firebrands that are sought to be
thrown into the halls of the National Legisla
ture by the Northern fanatics.
