TIE WAR AND BLOCKADE PRICES AMONG THE
REBELs.-Wc have been favored with the read
ing Of an interesting private letter from on in
teligent subject of King JEFF, Davis, in which we
are assured that great Union reaction Is quiet
ly at work all over Seccssia, and that the saw
ful war prices" of everything down there ex-
cept beef and bread are contributing power
fully to dissipaie the delusions Of Southern
millennium in Southern confederacy. The writer
in question gives the following specimens as the
average prices of certain Indispensable articles
throughout the rebcllious South
Quinine, per ounce, $40.
Opium, per ounce, 50.
Gunpowder, per pound, So.
Common boots, per pair, SIG.
At this rate, with the fall of single one of
the main army props of this rebellion, the whole
fabric will come 10 the ground In mass Of
ruins. The skies have cleared up, the ground is
hardening. A few days more of such weather
will usher in succession Of events that will
electrify every loyal heart throughout the
Union. This rebellion is bound to come down
soop IN > gspGA. collapse.

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1862

Of these discrepancies and differences between
the North and the South. With the North
strong and united, and the South weak
and divided, there can be no doubt
OF Its result Then, of the six hundred thou
sand soldiers we have sent to the South it is
perfectly reasonable to suppose that an i'm
mense number will settle there, as the tri-
umphant Gauls settled in Italy, or the Normans
in France and in Britain. Thus will be inau-
gurated, on grand scale, the internal emigra-
tion between the North and the South. Thou
sands of friends will join the thousands of SOL
ders c0lonized at the South. Northern energy
will open means by which foreign immigrants
may lucratively employ themselves at the
South, and then they will 60 there. Northern
precept and example will vitalize the South,
and gradually but surely reorganize and i'm
prove it. Thus the slavery question will take
care of itself, if we but take care of the war;
and the South, instead of being in the Union,
but separated from it by Mason and Dixon's
line-as China is in the world, but shut out
from it by her great wall-will. in the future,
be of the Union, and part and parcel of its
greatness, its progress, its prosperity, its
achievements and its glory.

THE INADEQuAcY OF Our POSTAL SYSTEM
When we institute comparison between the
postal systems Of Great Britain and the United
States, the utter inadequacy of our own to meet
the public wants is as striking as the efficiency
Of that enjoyed by the people Of England. In
the matter Of town and city delivery the
English system is especially excellent. Letters
may be posted in London ut any drop letter box
about the streets without any extra expense,
and every hour during the day they are called
for, sorted at the district Office, and Immediately
sent out for delivery. If Hposted just before the
time of collection, they will be delivered at va
rious points of the city in less than an hour af-
forwards. No prepayment Of inland letters Il
required and there is a uniform rate for all
printed matter, including engravings. With us,
however, our city collection and delivery
of letters are simply an absurdity. 1t is true
there are pillar boxes for their reception about
town; but they are called for at such long in
tervals, and subjected to SO much delay before
they are finally sent out for delivery-when
the postman leves an additional two cents upon
them-that the public find the Post Office too
unsatisfactory to be resorted to In any but spe-
cia cases. Moreover, there is tax Of an extra
cent upon country letters put in the street
boxes, without the prepayment of which any
letter will be sent to the Dead Letter Office at
Washington. Hundreds Of thousands OF letters
have throughout the country from time to time
been deposited in ignorance of this rule, and,
instead of reaching the hands of those for whom
they we're intended, have been consigned to
oblivion and flames at the General Post Office.
With respect to printed matter we have many
different rates; and, as they are unknown to tho
great majority Of the public, tho hopeless
confusion Of the arrangement Is apparent
enough. What we require are more expsdi-
tious city delivery--say hourly between ten A,

larly insisting on for the last seventy-hve years.
This is one point obtained. The question Of
blockading ports by stone vessels remains to
be settled. The original idea belongs to Eng
land. We borrowed it of her; but now
she complains of it, as she did Of the Trent
affair If we commit her to a positive arrange
ment on this question, it will be another i'm
portant concession to which we can hold her
ever after. But we shall see.
Thus it appears that the American rebellion
is not only purifying the great principle Of
republican government, and settling it on a
Hrmer basis for all time, but it is tending to the
examination and definite arrangement Of inn
portant questions of international law for the
future benefit of all the nations Of the earth.

today should the wind still keep in northwest

condition of things in general. and the weather in
particular, down town folks will have to depend on
the signal flags for definite information relative to
the raising of the ball.

The Adiutant GeneraIship.

The Senate has decided, by an almost unanimous
vote that Gen. Martin, by accepting the Office Of
Brigader in the Confederate service, vacated his
place as Adjutant General We take it for granted
the Commons will agree with the Senate by large
majority. This is the view we have taken of the
matter from the first and We are glad to find that
the representatives of the people agree with US.
The most ordinary selfrespect, it seems to us,
would induce Gen. Martin TO retire from the Office
Of Adutant General.
twill now devolve upon the Legislature either to
elect an Adjutant General, vest the right to ap
point in the Governor. In either event we have no
doubt gentleman well qualified for the Office will
be selected.

Such is the known incapacity of Jonathan Worth
for the Office of Treasurer. that after his nomination
by the caucus, some one of his "Conservative'
friends offered one Of the clerks in the office nine
teen hundred dollars a year-only hundred
dollars less than the salary of the Treasurer him
self-if he would remain in the Office after Mr..
.Worths election. This clerk, whose salary now is
81, 300 year, declined to granddaughter.
We do not believe the above to be true. If such
an offer was made i: was made without the knowl.
edge or the authority of Mr.. Worth
When the Register refers to the "ncapacty" of
Mr.. Worth for the Office of Treasurer it
every body who knows that gentleman Enous to be
untrue. The truth is, the Clerk referred to above
has himself been virtually the Treasurer for the
last two years, and is better qualified for the office
than Mr.. Courts is and it is well known to all in
telligent persons that Mr.. Worth is greatly better
qualified for the Office than either of them. The
Register knows this, but the Editor is so blinded
by prejudice and malice that he will admit nothing
that may appear to make against his own faction.
We have had quite enough of this attempt to un-
derrate Mr.. Worth, to injure his usefulness as pub
lie officer, and to embarrass him in his duties. The
duties Of the Office are responsible, but they are
plain in their nature and easy of performance. If
the Office is now in the condition in which it should
be, Mr.. Worth will not be at all embarrassed pro-
vided he is accorded the ordinary courtesy of being
shown where the books and papers are kept, and
how the entries are made in cases where he is not
already informed; and then, if every thing is not
clear and consistent in the accounts or in the man.
ner in which the business has heretofore been done
it will be his duty and his right to summon Mr..
Courts. and his Clerk, to make such explanations
as may be necessary. Mr.. Worth, we are sure asks
no .faUors of any one in this business. He is in
situation to command rather than to be decried and
embarrassed; and if he should be embarrassed, as
the Register hopes he will be, the fault will not be
his
