those of the other great departments of our

The clear profits over aud above expenditures

of New York alone, during the last five years

tho reyolted States till near the close Of the fla
cal year. the postal balance is not largely affect
cd thereby; but another year We shall be ena-
bled to see the temporary advantages in sflnan-
cial point of view Of having the South provide
| for their own mail service. AS the complaints
respecting JEFF Davis postal system have been
like Macbeth's curses both loud and deep, we
anticipate the lively satisfaction with which the
masses at the South will greet q return to tho
embrace Of the Union.
The Post Office Department Is evidently I'M
proving us financial condition with considera-
BILE rapidly. The total expenditures for the
fiscal year 1861 were Si3, G06,75s, being de-
decrease on the expenses Of 1860 of no less than
Sl,20S,Ol4, while the gross revenue amounted
to $9049,2 96, decrease from the year 1860
Of only s16S,77l. Were the United States to tell
Secessia to 60 off and support ITSELF our Post
Office would not only be self-supporting hnt
we might at once have material reduction in
all Of our rates Of postage, without any draft
on the Treasury. As the revolted States EVIL
IDENTIFY cannot support themselves, they will not
be permitted to leave the Union.
The comparative utility Of our postal estab-
lishment to the different sections Of the country
may be seen in the simple fact that the State Of
New York alone, in 1856, sent through
the mails 2s,259,94s letters, while the
number sent in all of the disloyal States was
only 22,136542. Including Delaware, Mary
land and Kentncky-that is, all Of the slave
States except Missouri-the number of letters
sent through the Post Office in 1856 was only
2S,S20,629, or less than the nuYnber furnished
by the State of New York alone. The next
largest number Of letters furnished was
Pennsylvania, 12,045,s63, and Massachusetts,,
ll,362,07l. While cotton is not king of the
Post Office, we see, in unmistakeable proper
tons, the commercial and social position of the
Empire State.
When we have time to look over the entire
report of the Postmaster General, we shall be
better able to judge of the action taksn by
the head of the Department, and the rscom-
mendations he has seen fit to make for further
and greatly needed Improvements in our postal
system

Senate for the Austrian mission some twelve
years ago, expected Austria and the conHrma-

The NORTHERN SLAVE TRADE-In another
place we print letter from Captain Rynders,
United States Marshal in reply to certain
charges which have been made against his off,
cial character. As Captain Rynders has shown
on several occasions within our recollection
that he can take care of himself, we leave him
to the tender mercies of Greeley 4 Co. As a
matter Of public interest, however, we refer
our readers TO the fact that within the last few
months more than twenty vessels have been
seized by the United States authorities at this
port, and held on the suspicion that they were
about TO engage in the slave trade. All these
vessels have been released for want of evil
dence as TO their real destination, and several
have since been captured off the coasts of
Africa and Cuba with cargoes of Africans on
board. One of these vessels is an old sinner,
having been three times arrested. Probably
the slave trade, from Northern ports in the
United States, has never been more active than
at the present moment--not even in the good
old times when the merchants of Newport
and Salem and Boston supplied the negro pens
Of Richmond and Charleston.

THE Posi- OFFICE SrE.-The Assembly yes
ter6ay passed the bin permitting the general
government to purchase site for the new Post
Office in any location they may select, and we
shall see whether the present site in Nassau
street viii be chosen or more uptown one.
Wherever the government may select place
for this purpose, however, they ought t, pay
for il out and out, and not accept one fifth of
its price from the merchants in the vicinity. II
is undgnifed for the government to purchase
property in this fashion; and moreover, IL II
was not an advantage to the property of the
merchants to have the Post Office located in
their own neighborhood, they would not offer
to contribute portion of the purchase money;
and what may prove advantageous to one To-
cality and to certain Get Of interests, would
be damage to others. We hope, therefore,
IL the administration is fortunate enough to
make suitable bargain for Post Office loca-
ton, that they will pay the whole price for it.

SECESSION IN ARKASsAs.--There appears TO
be some difficulty in understanding the tele-
graphic dispatches from Arkansas in relation
10 the secession ordinance before the Conven-
ton OF that State. The true solution is this
The ordinance came up for final action on the
18th inst, and was defeated by vote of thirty
five in favor to thirty nine against. The next
day resolution was introduced into the Con-
vention referring the question to the people
for their decision, which was adopted. The
ordinance Of secession, therefore, has not
passed the Convention, as has been stated.
