our new Postal Arrangements.

The Lincoln Government having abolished
our Post Office, ali the facilities we enjoy in
that line are now furnished by the Confede-
rate States of the South. We can send moth
ing North of Tennessee in the United States
mails-not even into Kentucky. If any one
desires to send letters or papers in that direc-
ton the Adams Express will perform the
service. For the Information and benefit of
our readers we append the rates of postage
under the law of the Confederate States
which, until we receive stamps and stamped
envelops, must be prepaid in money at the
mailing Office. The increase OF rates was
necessary to make the department self-sus-
tanning, and will be cheerfully borne, when
our citizens know that all the other reve-
nues will be required in defending the coun-
try against the assaults of our enemies -
