The Postal bill intrQduced into the United
State. House of Representatives by Mr.. COllax
of Indiana passed yesterday, by a vote of 13l to
26. 1t provides that whenever, in the opinion
of the Postmaster General, the postal service
cannot be safely continued, or the POst-Ofice
revenues collected, or the postal laws maintained,
or the contents Of the mails preserved inviolate
till delivered to the proper address, On any post
route, by reason of any insurreetion or resistance
to the laws of the United States, the Postmaster
General is hereby authorized to discontinue the
postal service on such route, or any part thereof,
aud at any POst-OAice thereon, till the same
can be safely restored. This is step in the
right direction; and if the bill passes the Senate,
and s not vetoed by Mr.. Buchanan, viii assist
in bringing the rebel States TO realizing sense
of what Secession means. At all events, it VIII
put stop to the circulation of incendiary and
REASONABLE documents at the expense Of the
United States.

If choice must bs made between Party and Coenty
differ weely from as TO prefer the Union 10 hiJ
Parties"-[ Albany Evening Journal ...r
This clearly states the utter antagcnsm OF
opinion now existing between Tile Journal and
all sincere Republicans. That paper is perfectly
ready to consent 10 the Extension of Slavery in
order to accomplish what it calls saving the
Union. Republicans, however, declare now and
always that if the Union can only be saved on
such conditions, it may go. They cay with
Henry CLAY, that no earthly power can
80 induce me to vote for specific measure for
the introduction of Slavery where it has not
before existed The Journal, ON the other
hand is for the Crttenden Compromise, which
forces Slavery ON an unwilling people, propo-
sition to whose atrOcity no language has
the power TO do justice.

The wives and children Of the soldiers at Fort
Sumter arrived here yesterday in the steamship
Marion, and are now of Fort Hamilton. There
are twenty women and seventeen children, and
we understand that their necessities are such
that the patriotic people of this city, upon whom
they have peculiar claims, should hasten to pro-
vide for them. They represent that the garrison,
which now consists Of rs soldiers and 80 labor
ers, is ia excellent health, not single man being
upon the sick list and every man Of them Is en-
Enthusiastically attached TO their commander. The
men are busily engaged in mounting the heavy
columbads on the ramparts, and preparing Tor
vigorous defense, They were supplied with iresh
provisions from Charleston for the first time
on the day these people came away
No reenlorcements had been received when
the Marion left and the captain of that vessel
thinks that great difficulty would be experienced
in entering the harbOr and communicating with
the fort. The garrison is represented TO have
salt provisions and camp ratioBs sufficient for a
Tong siege. The preparations Of the South Caro-
Iinians for attacking Mojor Anderson are being
pushed forward with yigor on oil siles, and there
was every indication that The ons auglt would
not DO much longer delayed. II is clear that il
.the Government expect TO mold Sumter, il must
be reinforced forthwith, fog no matter how gal
lantIy the little garrison may defend it, there are
Units ~ their power Of endurance.

THE CARRIAGE sWYNphE.

Tie Legislature Of 1850 gave the members
Of the Common Council Of this city salary
Of 81 200 each for the year, with the eX-
press stipulation that such salary was "to be in
/" lieu of and to include al expenses and charges
" for carriage hire and other expenses as such
" members" II The taxpayers ever entertained
the idea that this proyiao was obeycd or meant
TO be obeyed, let them be enlightened These
worthy Aldermen and Councilman hayo used and
enjoyed their carriages at the public expense just
as freely Us though there had never been an at.
tempt at restriction. One Of the innumerabe
heads Of accounts 10 the Controllers Department
reveals the fact that the members Of the two
Boards spent nearly $1,000 for carriages in
1860, exclusive Of I'LL japanese, Prince Of Wales,
Fourth Of July and other public occasions. OF
course, the words "carriagc hire" do not APP
pear; but under the convenient term of Getty

300, OOO expended; ard among the items were

Total
The annual tax bills viii soon be sent to the
Legislature, where we hope sound and severe judg-
mcnt viii be passed upon them. After the shame
full japanese robbery, one might suppose the Al
dermen and Ccuncimen would for a time at least
modify their rapacity; yet they have undertaken
not only to continue their 81 200 salary, but have
made most liberal allowances under the various
" contingent heads for the benefit Of themselves
and their friends. This trick of charging thou
sands of dollars to Committees is perfect
ly transparent. About half these Commit
tees have no real exstence-some of them
have not held meeting or lad paper reserred
to them for years; yet the public are asked TO
believe chat they have had SO much hard work
to do for the public as to justify the use Of car
riaecs 70 the amount Of thousands of dollars.
But since they manage, by hook or by crook, to
get these pickpgs eyeryyear, their salaries should
first be refused that would save $4,000 IN
lump. After that, let there be searching scru-
tiny into the abuse of % contingencies" and an
unsparing application of the kuife to cur

Formulation of Union County.

There having beer many requests Tor
the Census of our own county, Especially
since We have all the States aud Terrific
ries y We have spent couple Of days in
compiling from the returns Of Deputy
Marshal SwINEFoRD Of the South Disis-
ion, and Deputy Marshal DRIEsBAcH Of
the North Division, what We deemed the
most interesting details. The aggregate
population We see differently stated from
l4,I45 to ii 222, the frs, Of which is g
more than We make by running over their
rolls. We add, however, students in two
districts who were pnrposely not enumera-
ted, aud Commissioner Pross aud three OF
bis neighbOr's families in Kelly who we're
accidentally omi,ted-22e3 in all. When
the official publication is made at Wash
ington, we may copy, but in the mean
time We give the following as our estimate
from the returns Ec

A citizen of Kelly, who has examined
the rolls of that township, finds the fami-
lies of James Pross, Peter Rlnehart, Thos.
Ream, and Peter Brown-all residing
along Buffaloe Creek, and containing %
persons-omittcd. Anything like the
same proportion Of errors elsew here, would
be a serious dimibution from the actual
number We should not suppose any OF
our townships had decreased IL population.
There is a general impression that the
population of our Borough is not fully re-
ported. We poled 500 votes for Cover
uor-the highest, last fall. The remain,
der Of the county polled 2274, and is re-
turned at ll,5s6 population. Disii'
2274 into ll,5S6, leaves a ratio of 81
population to | vote. By this rule, the
sos voters would make our population
2905. But Milton polled at the same
time $50 votes, TO a reported population
Of 2l43-uearly l voter to 6 souls. At
the same rate. the SIS votes of Lewisburg
represent $500 persons. Lewis'own, with
a population of 2649, po!led 406 votes for
President-l voter TO q! souls. The 52i
votes in Lewisburg for President, by the
same rule, would give us 3i06 people
Certainly, by all comparisons, 5000 seems
to be reasonably low figure for US.
We will give other particulars Of our
census returns, hereafter.
