Postmaster Generals Report.

Mr.. Regain, Postmaster General, states the number
of Post Offices in operation in the Confederate
States at s,3SS. He makes the following estimate
of the probably receipts for the year ending June
SOth, 1862 as compared with the receipts from all
the Post Offices now in the Confederate States for
the fiscal year ending Jnne S0th, 1851;
Total receipts of all the Offices 1874 Sl,Sl7,aSe 90
Total receipts Of all the Offices in 1851, l"sl.pls W
Showing deficiency IF $685. 24 %
This estimate, however, is based upon the returns
from only 1922 post-oices, and the receipts must
necessarily be increased by the returns from the
remaining 4,024, though the latter are generally
small Offices, scattered throughout the Interior from
many of which the receipts wTt be inconsiderablc.
His report, which has jus: come to hand, affords
abundant proof of the abEitty and industry with
which Mr.. Reagan and his assistants managing
this department The task in so short time was
herculean one TO reduce to order and systesn the
immense machinery of the Post Office Department;
but glance at the report will satisfy ALL that so
soon as it can be do1e, our mail facilities will be all
that can be desired. We are aware that complaints
have beca very 5usily circulated affecting this de-
partment Of TIE government, but the endorsement
of Nh Reagan Mr.. Orfutt and Others, by members
of Congress Immediately cognizant of the conduct
of the department, and the amount of work which
the report dScloscS to have been already accom-
plishcd nails these complaints to the counter. In
deed we are sure that the heads of the departments
and chief officers of the government generally are
doing their utmost to conduct its business promptly
and efficiently.

The Latest News.

The last mails bring US no intelligence from the
seat Of war; There seems to be lull at all points.
Perhaps it is the calm which precedes the storm.
Chase and the Banks had agreed upon a general
plan Of finance. We judge the result will be that
the Lincoln government will force the monied in
situations to supply its demands in some shape.
The last English arrival, the Arabia, brings but
little interesting information. MeSsrS. Mason and

The UTLEY GuN.-This North Carolina inven-
ton, We are glad to learn has been recently tested
by Gen. Huger, at Norfolk, and it is said he enter
tains favorable opinion in regard to its power and
accuracy. The inventor, Mr.. Gray Utey, is a wor-
thy and ingenious man, and deserves the encour
agement of the government. His own State was
afraid of the expense of testing his cannon but now
that it has been done by the Confederate authOri-
ties, we hope the fact that it is North Carolina in
venton, will no longer be drawback to his enter
prise.

CLAIMS AGAINST THE GovERNMEST.-Wc observe
that Mr.. Bragg Attorney General of the Confederate
States, has published in the Richmond Examiner
the necessary formula to be observed by those who
have claims against the Confederate States, not pro-
vided for by special enactment From the adver-
tisement it is also inferred that persons holding
claims for arrearages against the Federal govern
ment as district attorneys, marshals, clerks and
commissioners Of the late United States, may now
prosecute those claims, rather may present them
in due form to be acted upon the Confederate CON-
gress, and allowed or not as it may determine.

A NAvY.-The Confederate government is greatly
in need of a navy. Every one feels this, but none
so much as our brave naval officers who could no
longer fight under Lincoln. With the amount of
means in the Southern Coniederacy, it is passing
strange that no strong effort has yet been made to
get up first class vessels to contend with the despot
on the high seas. With ten or twelve first class
steamers our Southern sailors would before this
have swept the Gulf of the Yankee vessels. The
Confederate Congress some time ago made large
appropriation for the construction of fleet Of gun
boats, but have heard ofbut little fany progress
in the work. few small boats are being built for
sound navigation, but We hear of no ocean steamer
yet on the stocks. Is such effort beyond our
reach at this juncture? We hope not
