Why is it that some order cannot be effect
ed in the delivery of letters at the windows
of our City Post-Office? 1t might be simply
and easily managed by putting a railing in
front of the windows and requiring applicants
to present themseles in regular order by ar
rangement in lines. This is the general prae-
tice in all city post-offices. As the points of
delivery in the Richmond Office are now
thronged and besieged by anxious inquirers,
it is about as easy for modest man to push
his way to the windows as it is to bolt door
with boiled carrot.

the laugh on the patriotic "secesh, " and

sons of middle age and upwards we're specta-
tors, and eager inquirers as TO the cause OF
arrest, and on learning the truth, appeared
to be humiliated at the consciousness that a
political despotism was lifting its hand to
strike down the old, the moral and political
banner of freedom. In their feelings and con-
ceptions they seemed to realize that tyran-
ny, overlapping their views OF the despotisms
of other times and counties, was fastening
itself upon our own beloved country.
On the way to the hotel, the man who ours
ed the Yankee coppers handed to the negro
woman for the cider, mentioned above, met
me with the soldiers on each side, and Lieu
tenant in front, and jeeringly congratulated
me that was in "bad 61." Another of the
"traveling spies'' greeted me en- route with
similar sentiments. These were savory des-

reign of terror, such rs that which 6es-
olated France, prevails throughout the rebel
States. Life, virtue and property are at the
mercy of a frenzied and barbaric mob
Acts that wouli make Vsndal blush are
daily perpetrated.
The infuriated demons that have been let
loose By nigger-worshippers of the South
are not confined alone TO murder and rob-
bc-J. The Southern press teens with the
most Infamous of lies. The loyal troops are
represented rs guilty Of every excess, and
every crime in the calendar. Nothing is too
Infamous TO report of the patriotic soldiery
who are striving TO bring order out OF chaos
and support the government of their faith
ers Even men who have boastsd of their
high toned chiv;tlry, and have been counted
az Statesmen, and promoted to high posi-
tions, do not scruple to put forth official
documents filled with innumerable, shame
less lies. Every effort has been made by
seen in letters OF ins tructon and proclama
tions to coufne the loyal troops tc simply
performing their duties according TO the
Constitution and the requirements ofthe scr
vice. Property even in slaves has been re-
spocted, and rights have been maintained.
The North has refused to employ the servi-
ces of free negroes to pnt down the insmr-
rection, has denied them the right to pass
through free States iEto the territory of the
enemy, and when slaves have been found
fleeing from their masters, they have been
returned.
The South couli not justly complain. in
view of the barharity with which northern
men are treated in the rebel States. if every
negro in the North and Canada WAS armed
by the Government and EN- joined to go
forth among the rebels, burn, kill, destroy
and Violate everything men hold dear IN
this world The civilized world wonld
look on such an unnatural scene with just
horror. The age pronaunces against 1t.
