Mail Deprlyatious.

We are informed that the Post route from
Flat Rock, Ke!shaw District. to Mon.
roe, N. C., has been discontinued by the
Department. This leaves two Offices in
:his District Butler and Dudley. wholly un.
supplied. We will give an idea Of the
scope of country in which these offices
were situated, and which is now totally dcs
titute of any mail arrangements
From Pleasant Hill p. o. on the West,
due East 10 l.ynches Creek, is full Is
miles. From Taxahaw on the North, due
South to the Kershaw line, is about l2
miles. Within these four points, embra-
cling n,i area Of no; mucr less than half of
Lancaster District, there is not solitary
office and how far the snme destitution
extends beyond the Kershaw and Chester
field lines, we nre unable TO say. We only
estimated the distgnce on the South nhd
East to the District lines.
1t can easily be seen that this section of
country, which is the most populous por-
ton of our District, was but poorly provi.
ded for when it was allowed two Offices :;
but now il has no parallel, we imagine, in
any State in the Union cas-, Of The Mssis.
sippi river. 1t would be singular, indeed
if the people of that large scope Of country
were to content themselves under this un.
just and tyrannical deprivation oftheir rights.
A government that allows its officials to de
prive one section Of privileges that are ex-
tended to other sections and other States,
must expect to forfeit, sooner or later, the
sympathy and confidence Of its citizens
We explained in former article, that this
cutting down Of the mail facilities, was not
general through the United States.

General Tax of the Upper Division.

Mr.. Thomas Frean, Deputy Treasurer,
furnishes the Sonth Carolinian with a COM
parative view of the tax returns of the
present with the past year, exhibiting
gratifying increase ef overy species of tan
able property in the Upper Division. The
increase for the single year has been as fol-
lows: Slaves: 2,2O3 Sales Of goods .
269.949; Value of Town Lots 377.432.
Mr.. Frean says, that believing il wonld
be interesting to the people of every district
to have some official evidence of their
growth and prosperity within the last thirty
years, he has imposed upon himself the
pleasing duty of preparing tabular view
on the subject, for each decade within that
period. These will be transmitted to some
newspaper in each district as soon as time
and circumstances will enable him to do So
He says further "Whie it is freely ad-
mitted that the schools and colleges estab-
lished ut onr own towns and villages, have
given additional value to real estate within
such corporations, it will, think, be gene.
rally conceded that, to our railroad adrdn-
tdges we are mainly indebted for our pros
perity."
The above is significant and highly sug.
gestive. The opinion, moreover, comes
from one whose official position affords ia.
ciities for observation, which are so many
guarantees of the correctness of his roncu-
sion.

sage n! such point, because plunging
fire could thep be concentrated on the en-,
envy placed in the middle of semicirce
Of batteries. Now. the course Of the Min
clio presents to an army wishing to force
its passage, from the Milan side, only two
points combining these acknowledgement
Hozambano and Volta
On these two points the stream makes
an elbow, pointing to the West. and the
ground on the right bank is considera,
bly, higher than on the other. These
two points were therefore chosen in the
wars Of the Revolution, in 1896 and
1900, and also in the campaign Of lS4S,
to force the passage of the Mincio. More
over, the possession OF two tortresSes like
Peschiera aud Mantua, on SO short line,
renders its defence easier, for the enemy
have their wings perfectly supported, and
can debouch unexpectedly from either of
tlose fortresses. However. history teach
es us that for an army well commanded
the passage of the Mncio is almost a
certainty. The Austrians could not pre-
vent BOnaparte from crossiug it in 1895;
nor Bruno in 1900, notwithstanding the
sanguinary battle fought by BelIegardo !;
nor the Piedmou,ess army in ie4s, which
forced the river Oh three points-at Goe
to, Mozambano and Borghet,o. The pas
sage once effected, the conquerors are 10
the centre of the quadrilatera!, and of the
places which form its own corners-Pes
chiera, Mantua. Legnago and Verona :;
and being so will have most probably to
fight pitched battle to force the enemy
back"
