We need some one at the head OF the Con-
federate Post Office department Of greater
administrative ability than we have yet bad.
The mails have got into such state of dis
organization and confusion as to be almost
utterly useless. As the greatest and almost
only benefit which the people derive from
the General Government is the transmission
of mail matter, for which they are roundly
taxed, nothing gives SO much dissatisfaction
as failure to perform its duty in that re-
speot We hope that the Post Office De-
partment of our Government. il it cannot
perform Its duty, will be abolished, and the
carrying of the mail be left to the private en-
terprise of responsible persons.-Augasta

BRISK TRADE IN TRUNKs.--For months
past the sale of arms and munitions of war
has been brisk, but this branch of trade, do
totally eclipsed by the large operations in

movement may, perhaps. be explained by the
tact, which we hear, on good authority, that
certain traders of Charleston we're recently
ascertaiued to be taking very energetic steps
to send away from the city much as pos

by the government and ordered to hold
themselves in readiness for trip down the

The following letter of resignation was Of
fered in proof by the petitioner:
WASHINGTON, July 31st, 1861.
President LINCOLN:
SIR When you commenced the present
war ON the Southern States, large number
of the officers of the army and the navy from
that section of the country resigned their
commissions For adopting that course the
Northern newspapers attacked the patriotism
of those officers who declined TO serve under
this very black administration. And you,
Mr.. President, in your Message TO congress,
at its commencement, stated. that those
Southern officers who remained true to the
Constitution and the Union, deserved great
credit. You gave those who did not resign
TO understand that they would be dealt with
Justly. Being one of the officers who did not
think proper to resign my commission, and
8 who desired to test the sincerity of your de-
= claration, ] have remained in the naval ser
vice until you have attempted to degrade
me by promoting my juniors over my head.
Your ostensible reason for your unjust act,
is, that the last administration left me on fur
Tough pay. and you did not think proper to
order me on duty. But the real motive for
treating me SO uDjustly, is to be found In the
fact, that am Catholic aud Southern
man. ~ +asf4 Et5Jlf i=es |sEEiI5zl7
= I desiEe to call the attention of the Arch
bishops of Baltimore and New York, TO these
facts. They know that civilization and reli
gious freedom met ia me friend, throughout
NV course among the Islands of the Pacific
Ocean. I have been prosecuted by Toucey
and Welles, because am Southern mai
md q Catholic. 1t is in their nsture to hate
.tff -
90 In taking leave OF the naval service, Mr..
President, allow me to say, that the grief I
b tel at leaving it after service OF forty-two
= var, would be much greater. bat Tor the
Il : breasts of those who now control the ma
VA service of The United States resign my
commission ia the United States Navy.
Your obedient servant,

the following recipe for dressing rice: Soak
the rice in cold water for several hours; have
ready stew pan with boiling water; throw
the rice iT and boil briskly for ten MINUTES,
strain it in colander, cover it up hot by
the FIRE for few minutes, and then serve.
The grains viii be found double the usual
size and distinct from each other. In view
of the fact that rice has become very COM
mon article of diet now, and that so few per-
would be well to give this receipt a trial,

FIGHT WITH TENNESSEE TORIES.-We are
indebted to Capt. I'll. II. Miller, of the 18th
Mississippi Regiment, for the following par
ticulars OF an engagement between % Vir-
ginians under his command and 800 of the
enemy supposed to be under the command of
- Taylor, a former member OF Congress
from Tennessee, which occurred at Taylor's
Ford on the Wetauga River, about o'clock
Sunday morning.
Capt. Miller arrived at Bristol on Saturday
last, en- route to Mississippi, when intelli-
gence reached there of the depredations that
were being committed by the Union men in
East Tennessee. He was requested by Gen.
Clark, who was In command, to make a re-
connoisance with % Virginians who had vol
unteered their services, and ascertain the DO.
sition and numbers of the enemy on Wetanpa
River. Capt. Miller with his force arrived at
Taylor's Ford. and had nearly succeeded In
crossing the river, when they discovered the
enemy on the opposite side in large numbers.
A fight ensued, when our force got within
thirty yards Of the enemy. Capt. NJ. ordered
bis men to return to the shore and attack the
enemy from that position. Our men were so
enthusiastic that il required his utmost exer-
tons torestrain them from crossing the river
and making charge upon the enemy. We
sustained no ioss. Capt. Miller received q
slight wound in the hand, and one In the
back, the ball CHANGING from bis sword belt.
One or two others were slightly wounded.
The enemy'ss loss. as reported by two prison
ers captured Monday, was 8 killed and Z
wounded. aud their force is said to have beeu
about 700. The people are gathering In
large numbers, armed with every available
weapon, and express great determinations to

Indictment for Treasou.-The Mo
bile Advertiser has the following:
In the district court for the Con-
federate States,now in Session at Mo-
bile, the grand jury has found true
bill against Eugenio Pacolini, Peter
Pioch and Vincennes Calduco, ,charg-
ed with treason against the Confeder-
ate States. The Indictment, in sub
stance, charges the accused with hay
ing traitorously carried and delivered
a cargo of fruits and vegetables, on
the schooner Hortense, from Mobile
to the enemy's feet off Pensacola.
The judge in his charge to the grand
ury,stated the law to be that the fur
nishing of provisions or important
intelligence to the enemy, was trea-
sonable. The penalty for that Of
fence on conviction is death. This
case should be warning to all our
citizens, and especially those living
on the coast.
We are informed that the parties
in this case assert that they intended
to carry their cargo to Pensacola, but
We're stopped by the feet, and the
cargo forcibly taken from them by the
enemy. To enable them to make
out this defence by evidence, if pos
sible, the trial of the case was con-
tinued, at their instance, until the
next term of the court. The accused
being in custody, were committed to
iail to await their trial. This is the
first indictment for treason against
the Confederate States that has come
