POSTMASTER GENERALS REPORT.
Owing to the suspension of postal expen.
ditures in the South, IL is department has
been more nearly selfsustaining during the
past year, than for many years previous. In
1861, the expenditures were Sl3,6O6, 80
and the revenue s9,S29.296. In 1862, the
expenditures were Sl1,l25, 1864, and the rev
enue S9,Ol2,549. During the past year, the
value of stamps, including envelopes sold by
the department, is S6,O10,l3l.S9. The mum
Der of dead letters received is 2,2S2,Ol9, he
ing $4,000 less than last year. Out OF
81, 1893 non-deliveries of letters. only %;
were by faults of postmasters. There have
been 800 letters mailed with no addres:
whatever. The whole number of post-offices
on 30th June last, was 2S,7S5 of which 10,
973 were among loyal citizens. The cost
of internal mail service for the year ending
June 80, was l4.464.92. The report
recommends that postal officials be appoint
ed as in England, fer honesty and capacity
and retained while their services are satisfae
tory, Instead of being dependent on politiea
changes.

The Richmond Wing complains o; the cru
city practiced upon the slaves. 1t says
1--WE are shocked to hear Of injustice in
fcted on the slaves by the reckless guard of
the provost marshal. This is one of the con-
sequences OF an abolition war. 1t deprives
poor creatures Of the protection which the
law aud their owners would extend, and com
mitq them to the memorable rule of military
discipline. This will never do. Negroes
should be arreeted, and, ifguilty punished for
violating any prescribed rule but they are
entitled TO some trial.
"The provnst marshal should remember
that the general cOnnuct of the negroes
throughout Virginia has been such a. to enti-
tie them to protection and approval. They
have been obedient, respectful and devoted
20 their masters. They have manifested a
dread of Yankees who come to deprive them
of their homes and support True, many OF
the men moved by au erroneous hope of i'm.
proving their condition, have absconded
but there has been no conspiracy and no
mutiny among them. We trust the provost
marshal will Inquire rigidly into cases Of
alleged injury"

1T is astonishing what a number of
applications for permits to get salt are
made to Gov. Johnson. The Executive
Office seems to be a sort of salt tick, and
not only loyal buffaloes and deer come
to it, but even trecherous panthers, hye-
mas and wildcats stick their impudent
whiskers into it. Stand off, rebels, you
can't catch the American Eagle by
throwing salt on his tail! Don't fatteI
yourselves that you can play the part Of
Judas, and still pass yourselves off as the
salt Of the earth.

The Fourth of July.

We hope that Mayor SMITH and our ex-
celIent City Fathers will take into con-
sideration forthwith the subject of a
grand celebration of the approaching
Fourth Of July. We always were hearth

days. They do much TO increase the
feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the
people. They inspire our children with
an earnest love of country. The APP
preaching Anniversary will have pecu-
liar political Importance attached to ii
over the Nation. 1t will be celebrated as
it never was before-with zeal and fer

want to see Nashville on fire with patri-
otic fervor. We want to see her streets
glitter with the gay hues of thousand
banners. We must have a celebration

The Tory Game

OF restoring the Rebol. to power under
the guise of ''reoryani.iag he Democratic
IL opposition to he Hr administration,
does not work well. About halfthe "Dcm-
ocratic" papers do not copy the Address Of
EAlianligLam K Co. they probably deem
the people Of their Counties too wise and
too patriotic to be caught in SO palpable a
sham. The Boston Post, long the leading
Democratic paper in New England, con.
demns it-so does the Huntingdon GloGe,
and the Ce3r Democrat (by David H.
Roush, late of New Berlin,) among our
exchanges. The NosAcWe Jni3a, Gov.
Andrew Johuson's organ) and all the
Union papers, Southwark, denounce it in
unmcasured terms. 1t is appiauded only
by those suspected of Secessionism. 1t is
apparent, to every candid and intelligent
observer, that it is but clumsy contr:.
vance to regain TO the Rebels aud the
Democracy what they have lost by their
mad, wicked, causeless revolt, which has
cost our land thousands of precious lives,
aud treasures untold, Shall these losses,
continue? If you want the Rebellion
crushed, crush cut its ally in the Loyal
