paration but no movement is made. General
Hosey has returned to Helena with his entire

with his army. General Grant still holds the
advanced position at Oxford, but owing to "a
change in the rebel programme of operations
aud the muddy condition OF tbs roads, be is dis
inclined to move forward. Il is about time To
have some account OF the operations Of General
MeCleinand, aud we presume that the blows to
lie struck soon by this leader will be the signal
for the advance of our entire forces. Generals
Blunt and Heron have driven the rebels back
iiTo the interior OF Arkansaa and we may sup
pose that there will be no forward movement in
that State for some time to come. General Rose
Grams is said to be ready to move, aud contem-
plates making All extensive incursiOn southeast

gain possession Of all the railroads connecting

Tnn wnmINaToN posv orrIoE.

1t is claimed as the prerogative of the
public press-indeed, it may he said TO be
its duty-to expose the delinquences and
abuses of public officials, and rebuke in IA
proper manner their palpablc violations of
duty, whenever they may present themselves
in form so objectionable as to interfere with
the interests of the community at large
And it is right that it should be so. 1t tacts
as powerful moral agent in restraining vice
and preventing negligence, or something
worse, in public functionaries, many of
whom, but for this surveillance Of the press,
would lapse into the worst stages of political
corruption to tho injury of all popular mo-
rality as well as good government.
But while it is the province of the press
to censure when necessary, it also belongs
to it to praise, when, in the performance of
their official trusts men in Office deservs
public appreciation. TO withhold the latter
when due, would be as unjust and discour-
aging as to dispense the former undeserved-
ly or wrongfully wherefore, we feel that we
but perform simple act of duty in stating
that the gentlemen connected with the Post
Office of this city discharge their several
duties in manner so entirely satisfactory
and promptly as TO merit the appreciation Of
the entire mercantile community. Polite
ness and proper regard for the feelings
and requirements Of all who have business
with the Office seem to be the prevailing
characteristics of the employees of the
establishment and no person, however
humble his position ever experiences any
thing but kindness and attention in his bu-
slness relations with the Office. The absence
OF oil supercilousness and boorish rudeness
IA few years ago so prevalent in our Post
Ohice-is one Of the most marked and pleas
ing features in the present management, and
has been the subject of very general remark
by many gentlemen Of the city who know
how to appreciate the change by reason OF
having been the victims of experience in
this particular.
We congratulate Mr. Armstrong and Ills
aiiable clerks upon having achieved such a
popularity. The endorsement Of a commu
nifty as discriminating as is ours, must be a
source of qualification to them as we'll us an
incentive to perlorm--in the future as here
tofore-their official duties so as to hold and
enlarge the general public esteem.

DIshop Lee,s piscourse.

The admirable Thanksgiving Discourse of
the Right Reverend Bishop LEE of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of this diocese
is ready for distribution, and may be had at
the store of MIR. Gregg Chandler, No. Gil
Market street. The applications for this
powerful and timely sermon have been so
numerous that we have concluded-in addi-
tion to the pamphlet copies--to publish it
to-day in the Journal, in order that the de-
mand may be in some measure met. This
will afford our distant readers an opportunity
of perusng this truly patriotic discourse /;
while, if it should fall under the eye of any
sympathiser with treason, it may at the same
time induce him to ponder its truths, catch
from its grand and lofty sentiments of
nationality a portion ofthat inspiriting love
of Union and Liberty which breathes in
every sentence, and cause him to forsake the
error of his ways and acknowledge his allie
glance TO his insulted and outraged but
benefcent government,

poorer classes are reduced to the most piliaLle
straits, and the bitter feeling Of animosity which
prevailed among them, at the beginning Of the
war, is completely changed, aud they now pray
for the coming OF the Yankees TO bring them food
