Walton insists that his plan Of once buying
one hundred sets for the House library, to be

only great deal more 3" fair and honorable"

The appropriation was made, and Greeley
took the books. The differences in favor Of
Walton are precisely these be takes no books
for himself; he proposes no annual appropr-
alton for books for members, or to be distrib-
uied to libraries at home-as Greeley propos-
ed to do but he proposes a limited and sin
gle purchase, for the library of the House.
and for the sole purpose Of facilitating the
business Of the House Greeley would spend
for each Congress what Walton would spend

Ig- The statement furnished by the Adju-
tant General of the number Of men who have
gone to the war from the towns in this coun-
" cannot be correct. For instance, the town
Of Montpelier is reported as having furnished
SO, when a list of over 100 has already been
made out. If the other towns are no more re-
liable than this, we doubt if a draft could be
applied in the county.

A New REcRUir,-The demand for vol
unteers TO fill up the 9th Regiment is urgent,
and fears are entertained that it will be neces-
sary to resort to drafting. The "home editor -
of the Wotedman, has the satis'aclio of as
suing the recruiting officers that on Sunday
morning hearty looking recruit made his
appearance in our family circle, and from all
indications thus far ho possesses the best Of
fghtinL qualities. He will however, require
considerable drill in the "manual exercise"
and will not offer his services for the 9th

The Admission OF the New state OF


We trust there will be no delay in grant.
ing the prayer, SO earnestly pressed as it
has been, of the loyal people of West Vir-
ginia for admission into the Union as u sep
arate and independent State from old Yir-
ginia. Last summer, while the bill was
pending in the Senate for their admission,
we took occasion to review, somewhat at
length, the grounds of their application
We advocated their admission under the
Constitution framed at Wheeling, as
amended in single section OF its provis-
ions by Senator Wiley. That amendment
provides for system of gradual emancipa-
ton. commencing as early as the 18th Of
March next, and continuing on for term
of years, as regards slaves born prior to
that date. Il is virtually the same system
as that adopted in all the States that have
become free, our own State among tine
number.
We see no reason why the admission of
the State should be delayed. We have
watched with interest the efforts which the
people Of that loyal section have been max
| ing to secure new State, and every con-
stitutional requirement has been observed,
SO far as we can judge. Certainly they de-
serve eminent consideration at our hands,
for they have been powerful ally to the
Union since this war commenced. They
have furnished their full quota of troops
and even more, as We have seen by repeat
ed showings in this paper. Their new
State will contain some "a geo square miles
and nearly 800, 900 inhabitants. There
seems to be more than ordinary una.
nimity for the project; at all events, as
much as new States ever express wher
changing their Territorial condition. In.
deed, Senator Wiley, in his speech last
session. averred that there was scarcely 8
"scintilla of difference" on the question
among the loyal people of West Virginia
and We presume he stated about the truth
, The effort is 40 old one, running back al.
most TO the foundation Of the State, and
has had for its advocates, Mt varions pc.
RODS, some distinguished men. ~
As the question Of admission comes uI
specially 10 the House on Tuesday next, tc
which time it was laid over from last SEES
SHIN, we trust members will at once address
themselves to its earnest consideration, ant
unless there be good reasons to the con.
trary. none Of which are apparent TO Us
speedily relieve the good people of IVES
i VirgiuiR by granting their prayer.

AnnaaI Report OF the Post Mnste,
u General. 49,

~ 7-tr General
The report for this year exhibits very
healthy financial condition of the Post
Office Department, and shows it TO be thor.
O1ghly impregnated with the spirit of i'm
proyement. The efficiency of the service
has been maintained at the highest point,
accompanied by great dimunftion Of ex-
penditures. if-.-ts,.- a..
The gross revenues oftthe DEPARTMENT
for this fiscal year, including the standing
Treasury credit for free mail matter, and a
small amount appropriated for. the relief of
individuals, was $9,0I2. 349.13' The ex.
peudtures for the same year amounted
to Sll,l25,3l4l3. The regular postal
revenue for 1862 is only S4,947, $50 less
than it was for the fiscal year 1861, during
large portion of which year revenue was
paid in from all the States of the Union
This fact shows a large increase in the
correspondence Of the loyal States. While
the revenues have been go nearly sustained,
at the highest standard. the expenses have
been largely reduced. For the preceding
year the expenditure was 50, 4sl 1894. 96
greater than last year.

greatly in excess of the postal receipts
there, but not alone 70 that, A revision Of
all Discretionary EXPENSES has been made,
and large reductions ordered. The pay of

economy has been established In the larger

The Postmaster General expresses his
determination TO adhere to this course.
