GENERAL HALLEcK's ANrECEDENTs.-All that

West Point Academy; and his works on the art
Of war give Indication Of superior and origi-
nal mind, which education only developed

lie soon established order and discip-
line His mastery strategy drove the enemy
from Columbus, and gave Fort Donelson
TO our arms. After the disaster at
Shiloh-for which be was not accountable-he
organized demoralized army with so much
ability that he drove Beauregard to the wall at
Corinth and compelled him to make precipi-
tate retreat after all his vain-gorious boosting.
His career in the Southwest has been brilliant
in the extreme. In particular he has dstn-
guished himself for his administrative qualities.
lie is a statesman aud man Of sense as well
as a soldier very important consideration in

tial to success as military genius. IN his new
capacity at Washington lie will bring harmony

ASrNwALLs FAMOUS DONATION TO THE GOVERN
MENT.-The newspapers Of yesterday state that
Mr.. William H. Aspinwall has donated twenty
FIVE thousand dollars to increase the finances of
the government. Twenty-Five thousand dollars
though it will go but very little way towards
paying the daily expenses Of this war, is still
quite large sum for private citizen to give to
the government. But, unfortunately, it appears
that this benevolent Aspinwall has really made
no donation at all. The money he gave to the
government was simply his profit upon gov
eminent gun contract; so that the government
receives back only what 1t paid out, and is
really no better off than before, although Mr..
Aspinwall gets plenty of praises Why, this is
not half so liberal donation as the three thou
sand dollars and one years service Of the Hen
rietta, which we contributed to the government
out and out, from our private purse and with
out any gun or ship contracts whatever. But
the best Of this rich joke is that Mr. Aspinwall
Is said to have made more money than Morgan
by buying and selling ships for the government
The twenty-five thousand dollars profit on his
gun contracts Mr.. Aspinwall returns to the
government, but the one hundred thousand
dollars profit upon his government ship opera
tons he puts in his own pocket. This is a very
wicked and credulous world; and so Mr.. As
pinwall makes seventy-fve thousand dollars, .
clear conscience and first class patriotic repu-
tation, by these transactions. If be would re-
turn oil bis profits on government contracts, and
could induce two-and-a-half-per-c Morgan to
do the same, then the affair might deserve to
be gazetted in one of Secretary Stanton's
charac teristic bulletins.

POSTAGE STAMPS AS CuRRENCY-The passage
by Congress Of bill making postage stamps a
legal tender has created an unusual demand
for the stamps in this city The Post Office is
besieged by crowds of stamp purchasers every
day. The receipts for stamps at our city Post
Office, before the passage of the bill referred
to, averaged about two thousand dollars. On
Friday ten thousand and on Saturday nearly
fifteen thousand dollars worth of stamps were
sold At this rate New York city will soon be
relieved of any trouble about small change.

POSTAL AFfAIRs.-The important postal re-
form bill introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives by the Hon. Mr.. Hutchins of
Ohio, goes over, with other proposed mea-
sures of public interest, TO the next session Of
Congress. This is, perhaps, better than to have
passed it without proper and full considera-
ton of the many material changes in our postal
system which it embraces. It's principal fea-
lures are understood to have received the sane
ton of the present head of the Post Office
Department.
1t is due to Postmaster General Blair
to say that, in our judgment, he has man.
aged his department with ability and sound
discretion, and his administration appears
to have been skillful, energetic and honest.
Under his instructions and sanction important
reforms are now being carried out in this and
other large cities, and it is only necessary to
call his attention to official abuses or short
comings of any kind on the part of his subor-
dinates, or to imperfections in any branch of
the mail service, in order to secure strict
accountability and speedy removal OF the
causes Of oil such evils when discovered.
The prompt measures he has taken to restore
postal facilities as fast as important Southern
points have been recovered and brought under
the United States authorities at once entitle
him to the thanks of the entire country, and are
creditable alike to his patriotism and his Official
enterprise.
