The BELLrGERENT RESOLVES OF THE SOUTHERN
CrTIEs.-One Of the remarkable features of the
war has been the passage Of fighting resolutions
by the authorities and people Of the Southern
cities. At New Orleans they resolved never to
surrender, and to defend It to the last It was
surrendered the moment that our gunboats
and the fotilla of Farragut arrived there. At
Nashville the citizens and authorities went
through with the same wordy declaration Of
making Nashville the last ditch. No sooner
had the advance column Of General Buell's
army arrived In sight of the city than
the Governor and other State officials took
to their heels and "skedaddled," leaving
the city In possession of the Union army.
And Immediately the intelligence came over
the wires that all was quiet at Nash
vile. The same form was gone through with
at Norfolk; but there the Mayor and Common
Council were so anxious to do the very reverse
from their resolve that they could not wait
for the arrival Of General Wool's force, but met
him half way and surrendered, the military
and naval forces in the meantime scattering in
every direction, and destroying what they could
not carry Will tucu lue ueAt LuluR that WI
heard from that quarter was, GAIL is quiet at
Norfolk" This has been so often resorted to
that the public have at length begun to look
upon the adoption OF resolutions Of that kind as
meaning that they will surrender at the first
opportunity. Resolutions Of the same nature
have already been passed in Mobile, Savannah,
Charleston and Richmond, which, according to
precedents means that those cities will each, in
their regular turn, surrender, and come into
the possession of the Union army, and the very
persons who promulgated the fighting resolu-
tons be the first to yield. The next morning
our correspondents from those cities will in
form us that the city is as quiet as New York;
and here we are as peaceable as lambs.

New York Posi- OyFrcE.--We understand that
the removals Of employees in the New York Post
Office by Postmaster Wakeman are not made
solely upon political considerations, but that bis
action in this matter is influenced by the quail
Hcations OF the individual employees and their
attention to their duties. II is also stated that
all the old hands remain there, and that none
will be removed who faithfully attend to their
duties If this Is the true state OF the affair we
hope that Postmaster wakeman's course will
be tue guide Of other government officials, and
that hereafter the appointments will be made
upon the personal qualifications Of the appli-
cants, and not solely on political considers
tions. The war has wiped out of existence all
the old political parties, and this is the appro-
pirate time to inaugurate reform in our pub.
lie Offices, and, by adhcrng to IL, public officials
will better serve the interest of the public, and
hear less complaints, than under the long exist
| ing system, OF political favoritism.

Federal Denreddtions in Ar1an-
sas-A correspondent of the St.
Louis Republican, who was with
Curtis on his march through Ar
kansas TO Helena, says that on the
Arkansas side of the river, outside
of Helena, "there is not a home
for ten miles but what has been
piilaged from cellar to garnet by
Curtis troops. Trunks were bro
ken open, bureaus opened and
sacked, in fact, every drawer, cup
board, trunk, chest sacked and
pillaged; ladies' dresses, ear rings,
finger rings, breast pins, in fact,
every thing movable possessing
value, stolen" And this writer
says that was not all. He adds
that ION the road travelled by the
army the same system of piIlage
hes been carried on. If a dollars
worth of movable property has
been left, it was because the SOL
dier's knapsack would hold no
more, or wagons could not be
pressed to haul it.
