SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Intslhgsneer is to-day full of inter-
esting news and communications. A staff
officer writes of hereditary promotions,
showing that, in justice to our gallant
army, various reforms in this connection
are much needed. Another correspondent
pleads the cause Of the army officers, as
involved in the proposition to increase
their pay, which is soon to be taken up
by Congress, saying in conclusion:
"If our officers, like those of some of
the European armies, were taken from
none but the Weather classes of society,
the present state of things might be borne.
But unless it is the intention to drive
from the field all who have no means of
support but their pay, and thus make the
army accessible only to the rich, Govern
ment must give to army officers decent
support. Unless she means to make it
the exclusive property of those too stupid
to hops for success in the more lucrative
profession of civil life, she must give to
merit its Just reward: for it may be as
sumed that no class of men will forever
turn deaf ear to the demands of their
own interest, and starve to death on their
devotion TO their country's service"
In the Union, the President makes q
very Necessary proclamation, warning all
persons against having anything to do
with filhbustering against Mexico. Tbs
Oray of Walker and his men against
Lower California being the immediate
cause of its PRONUNCIATION. The same
journal, cracking jokes over the New York
Hercld's impudent insinuation that the
chief officers of the Government have
continued to SANDER the Treasury, exposes
the sinister character of that journals cry
Of stop thief" The Unicn also contains
a strong array Of quotations from other
journals, going to show that those now
welding the affairs of the United Estates
enjoy public confidence in a remarkable
degree.
The Sentinel is profuse, indeed, of com.
pliments to the recent speeches of Messrs.
Cutting and Walsh upon New York poll.

TIE L. s. OCEAN MAIL SrEALER SERVICE
We hear that Mr.. Churchwell is maturing a
bill to systematise this importa mt branch OF
the public service, embracing sweeping chan
ges, many of which are already manifestly
necessary. His aim, we take it, is not only
to correct existing abuses, but also hereafter
to prevent their recurrence. The policy on
which he sets out, is that all our ocean mail
seam service should as soon as possible be
placed on the footing of all American inland
mail service, with no more privileges to con-
tractors, and under the pains, penalties, re-
striction &C., which hang over all our inland
mail contr scts; including the reletting of the
existing ocean mail contracts to the lowest
bidders, who will do most for the Government
in the least time. That is, who will run be-
tween leading points quickest. lie goes on
the principle that, properly sys!ematised
after this fashion, the Government can get
twice as much ocean steamer mail service for
what they pay for what they now get; inclu-
ding, of course, the additional semi monthly
mail to California, which the exigencies Of
our affairs on the Pacific really imperatively
demand. There can be no question as to the
pressing necessity for weekly intercourse by
mail between our Atlantic and Pacific coasts,
and that the schedule of running time should
be considerably shortened.
The idea of waiting for the establishment of
working route under the Garay or Sloo grant,
or Of under any other scheme across Mex
leo, is worse than idle, and involves propo-
sition to mix up the Government in the spec
ulation Of establishing the route and creating
the paraphernalia for running it. We have
had news from San Francisco in II days to
New Orleans, via Acapulco and Vera Cruz,
BY ststioning . relay Of horses or mules every
