The best thing TINT has occurred within
won't ty.four hours has been the discpntjnunnce
If the Florida through mail service. The very
ast official'act Of Mr. Holt before leaving tho
Post Office md going into the War Depart,
State This was done in consequence Of the
utcrccption Of Government lettt1s and dis
patches hy the Florida authorities. The Pres
lenr md Secretary Of War sent various dis
patches to tho commanders Of forts and other
seized, rcad and suppressed by order Of the
Sovereign Convention Of Florida, and never |
reached. their destlDntion. Letters and dis
patches from officers III command Of the forts
md war vessels were also intercepted and de- |
taiued In consequence Of these 1aw1ess acts, |
which thc Government had taken steps to |
hold. The Government etood this Outrage Us |
loug as it could be endured when, Yesterday, |
Holt abolished the Past Office at Pensacola.
As it was the only distributing office in that
State, all letters, papers and inail matter di:
rcctcd 10 Foriaa must be directed to the dca.i
letter Office. We presume this Will lead to
The speedy abolition Of the local mail service
Of that rc1ctlioug and ungratcful Stnte. 1t Is a
great pity that Mr. Holt did not also discon-
1inuc the mails to South Carolina, Alabama
and Georgia, aud thereby treat all the lnsur-
gents alike.
Three simple measures will more efectually
cure the l:suuion disease than = thousand
schemes like that proposed by (srittenden,
Douglas g. Co. They will do more good than
'l tae tas sn oy &

munitions the various forts still In the posscs-
sion Of the general Government, VIZ: fofl

houn, Hampton Roads, Virginia, Old Point
Comfort, Virginia. Fort Washington, on the
Potomac, near this city. Fort Macon, Bcau-
fort, North Carolina Fort Caswell, Cape
Fear River, and Fort McHenry ut Baltimore.
Two or three regiments should be held IN this
city as reserve force, to net us emergency
might arise: Forts Pulaski and jackson,
sliardin., tI,c approaches to Savannah, having
heen taken by the rebels, let q couple Of nlen~
ol.war be placed at the mouth OF that river.
Forts St. Phillip and Jackson, guarding tho
approach to New Orleans, having been selzea
by the mob, let three or four mei,,of-War stand
guard at The 1ucnth OF the Mississippi, and the
same Of the larbors Of Mobile and Galveston.
