1000, and report the rebel expectation that
II will be raised 10 10000 in three weeks 1t
might as we'll be called 100000 at once. These

largest with equal readiness.
H. is said that Colonel Mulligan, wbea he

The rebel General Price says OF the cap

Since the railroads between Washington and
| New York have been controlled by military
| necessity, many failures have occurred in the
| ivais at Washington in schedule time, par.
tcularly in the train due at A. NJ. To stcure
connections, the train for Washington has been
detained at Baltimore enc hour. later. Yet,
notwithstanding the extension OF time at that
point, the mail from New York and Phladel-
phia has failed to connect, and, within the past
week, the mail has not been received till 7.IO
o'clock, instead OF A. NJ. .
A delay in opening the Office for the delivery
OF letters received by this train must necessarily
ensue and in Justice to the public il must
acknowledge that kind indulgence and for
bearance has been exhibited. No effort has
been spared by the Postmaster and his employ
ecs to distribute and box the letters, SO as to
cause as little delay hs possible. There are
now one hundred and eighty-fve regiments
without cnumelatiDg the Independent com.
mands OF artillery, cavalry, mounted rifles, &c
receiving and sending from this office their let
ters and papers, independent OF our usual pop
uation. OF this large body Of men, nearly all
are reading and writing men. The arrange
mon, adopted by the Postmaster is TO assor
aud box all the civil letters first so as 10 facilitate
tho delivery. The military mails are then a:
sorted into regiments; this requires much time
owing to bad chrography and imperfect ad
dresses, but the labor is usually accomplished

The Lexi.lnture Adiournea.

The General Assembly adjourned sine die yes
terday noon Never before since the organiza-
ton Of the State has a Legislature assembled
more illiberAl and intensely partisan From be-
ginning to end the majority acted as though they
had but brief hold upon the spoils of power and
therefore they were determined to make the most
oft. Every measure adopted was made sub
party interests. That was the leading idea in all
the legislation Of the session. We favor a most
rigid scrutiny into all matters connected with the
administration of the Government, but such in
vestigations should be fair and impartial and
with single reference to the promotion of
the public interests. Such has not been
the character of the Investigations into the con-
duct of public officials, by the legislative com
mittees during the session. nor will it be of those
appointed to sit in vacation. If any citizen. who
has held or now holds official position, is deserv-
ing of censure for the manner in which he has
discharged his trust, it should not be withheld;
neither should he be condemned upon er parte and
hearsay evidence, without an opportunity of e1-
PLANTATION and defence. The retrenchment and
reform party viii sadly disappoins the people of
the State. While few abuses have been cor
rected, others have been continued, and the door
opened wide for new enterprises in that regard.
Even the embezzlement law was so framed that it
would become nullitv whenever its constitu-
tionality should be tested. The intention of the
law was good, but the attempt to enforce il
literally, even if ii was constitutional, would
show its impracticability. The despotic military
bill, with its costly provisions, and the Ubiquitous
apportioament bills were defeated by the frmness
of the Democratic members anc fer which good
work they will have the approval of the people
generally and their constituents especially. We
presume Governor MORTON will make the fail
ure OF these bills an excuse for the calling of ar
extra session of the Legislature. 1t Is already
intimate1 that such will be the case. We shall
refer to the action of the Legislature, hereafter
in detail.

A leading Republican Senator informs US that
the legislation of the Republican Legislature was
slip-shod throughout, and that the enrolling of
the laws exhibits the most gross ard inexcusable
carelessness. He thought an extra session of the
Legislature almost necessary to revise many of
the laws that we're enacted, so as to make them
Ineligible and carry out the intent of the trainers
1t is evident that the Republican party is COM
posed of materials lily calculated to govern, but
admirably constituted to oppose. We miss a
guess amazingly if they do not find themselves
soon in that position. In fact the administrative
part of the organization came from the Demo
cratic party, but even there is not leaven enough
in il TO save il from destruction.
