The Post Office Department.

The Post Office has been sometimes undu-
ly pressed into service as an agent tor the
promotion of colonization and settlement in
the as yet unoccupied parts Of our country,
instead of being confined to its Legitimate
function. And, in addition to these onerous
and unnatural burdens, it has, also, accord
ing to the declarations of the Constitution,
been treated las a slave that could at Will
lie subjected to the services of every asplrant
for Office in every part of the Union
We are pleased to infer from the official
designation and denunciation Of these abuses
as having previously attached to the work
ing Of the Post Office Department, that they
will no longer find any favor at the hands ot
the present Postmaster General, who We are
informed, acting under 1.-The pressing neces-
sitv for retrenchment and reform created by
the failure of Congress to pass the usual APP
preparation bill for the support OF the iost
Office Department" and availing himself OF
1.-The temporary freedom thus given to consult
the national interests in the administration
of his Office, has been necessarily occupied
in the endeavor to place the service on the
most economical footing possible. All use
less agencies are being Topped of, and a
thorough reconnaissance Of all the mail
routes Of the country is being made, with
a viey to curtailment ut every point where
il is practicable, without serious detriment

Summer Travel.

1t will be gratifying To the travelling pub
lie to learn that a new and attractive route
is now opened to the seekers Of health and
pleasure in the mountains Of Virginia. \
correspondent writes us that the turnpike
road from the Montgomery White Sulphur
Springs to the Salt Sulphur, i'll Monroe coun-
ty, via the Yellow Sulphur, New River
White Sulphur, and the Salt Pond, for
Mountain Lake. is completed. From the
Salt Sulphur it is well known there are add
mirable roads, travelled by fine stages, to the
Grcenbrier White Sulphur and the Sweet
Springs. The road from the Montgomery
White, via the Springs above mentioned and
the Mountain Lake, is said to be one of the
finest mountain roads III Virginia.
This route to the Salt and the Grecnbricr
White Sulphur Springs, is believed to be
shortest from the Virginia and Tennessee
Railroad, while it embraces some of the most
interesting scenes, and takes in It's route
some of the most attractive Summc retreats
that are to be found in the mountains. We
know no more picturesque country than that
embraced in this route, including some OF
the grand New River views, which are hard
" cxcellcd anywhere.-Lyacd R,p.

The Austrian Tactics.

The French journals appear to have IL bet
ter understanding of the military movements
Of the Au>trians than the English newspa-
pers, and do not as soon Jump ut conclusions
respecting the good or bad of partial move
ments only. The Dcbats has the following
remarks OF the position of the belliscrent
partics:-
The Austrians. without exactly losing
their time. have scarcely yet done anything
more than what the plan of campaign of the
French and Piedmontese permitted them 10
do. Having against them the weather, which
p0urs cataracts on their columns, and the
earth, which has become ST. s0ttened rs to
impede their movements, they must have sui
trred, aud still must suffer some loss
Without occupying ourselves with the
preparatory movements which the Austrians
may make in the rear of the Ticino, the
Pc, and the frontier Of the Duchy of Parma
movements which can only be very
imperfectly known-we may state that
the Austrians ure debouching on several
points of the line, operating with small col
umns on the banks of the Po. On the left
bank. the accounts received represent that
they have arrived at TrinO. They have thus,
without striking II blow, arrived half way 10
Turin. At from ten 10 thirteen miles from
Trinn, and ut about twenty-tour miles from
Turin, the Austrians will find Crescent
no, n little town Of 1000 inhabitants. This
town can hardly be- at more than Il league
from the Dora Baltea, a river on which the
PIcdmontese are stated 10 have prepared de-
fences of Il; certain extent. We do not clear
" understand the cannonades OF BaSale
and FraSsinetto; they must have been only
n demonstration; the presence Of Il column
on the territory comprised between Asst,
Ales-andria, and two rivers like the 20
and the Tanaro. appears to Us impossible.
As to the operations on the right bank, they
appear clearer. The arrival of Il column
at salo, indicates that very shortly the plan
of the Austrians will be- designed on Il vaSter
scale. When the columns shall be united in
Il sufficiently considerable mass, they will
leave before Alcssandria, IL place too impor-
tant to be lightly attacked, a corps Of obserya-
ton acting III con junction with another corps,
more numerous and more active, which will
probably act against our line Of Sierra ' ale,
Novi and AleSsandria, u cndcavOr to inter
rupt the communications between Genoa and
Turin. The French line is being formed and
extended from Genoa to Susa, passing by
Novi, Alessandria, Turin and Susa. On the
right wing is Marshal paraguay dllilliers,
and at the left Marshal Canrobcrt, two brave
soldiers, one Of the old, the other Of the new
school. The departure of the Emperor indi-
