Proposals. FOR CARRYING THE MAMs.-We call
attention to the advertisement of the Postmaster
General, in the Standard to-day, inviting proposals
for carrying the mails on route 5,o95. We are
gratfed to see that the Department is doing all in
its power to supply mail matter to the offices men,
toned We take it for granted that bids will be
put in and accepted, and that after February the
people on route 5,095 will be served regularly by
the government. A new route, in connection with
the Fayetteville Road has been suggested and urged
but the Postmaster General has no authority 10 es-
tabsh new, or change old routes 1t will be necvs.
sary to obtain the assent of Congress to the pro
posed new route.

BEWARE OF CouNTEKFEIrs.-Our attention has
been called to the manner in which one of the two
dollar treasury notes of this State has been coun-
terfeited so as to make it pass for ten dollar note
The figure ten had been cut from the margin of
some blank Bank notes-probably from those on
which the treasury notes are printed-and the ten
thus cut was pasted over the to wherever it occurs
in the two dollar note, so as to change the issue
into ten instead of two The treasury notes, which
are printed on the back of the blank Bank notes,
should be closely clipped, and never sent out with
any Of these extraneous figures attached to ther:.
We have heard also, that some of the five and
twenty cent issues have been circulated without au'
thorty of law, either in blank filled up. This must
be owing to the neglect of the printer in not prop
erly guarding the form Of types on which these
notes are printed; or these notes may have been
stolen from the printer, or from some one who had
them in possession after they had passed from his
hands. We have no idea, however, that Mr.. Treas
urer Courts is TO blame in this matter.

FREE TKADE.-The propriety Of suspending all
tariffs upon imported goods during the existence
Of. the blockade or during the war, has been
urged upon the Confederate Congress by several
of our contemporaries. 1t is understood that the
Congress is considering that question, and that
President Davis has avowed his adherence to =
"free trade policy" Are we to understand by this,
that the proposition to abolish all tariff duties du-
ring the war; is to he entering wedge to the fu'
ture policy Of the government after the war is overs
If So let it be openly avowed and let the people un-
derstand it We have heretofore alluded to the sig
nicant fact that nearly all the cotton States have
assumed the payment of the Confederate war tax
the present year, in order to save the people from
the burden OF paying it now by "direct taxation )"
Now, if the country is to be launched out upon an
eEtire free trade policy, with an enormous public
debt upon it. why not let the people at once begin
to taste the sweets of direct taxation? Are they
afraid? We have no hesitancy in saying that We
hold still to the old doctrine of tariff upon mpor'
ted good, for the purpose of revenue affording in
cidental protection to our own manufactures. This
the old jackson doctrne-it has been tried, and
found to be the true policy Direct taxation for the
support Of the Confederate government and the pay
ment of the war debt, would never be borne by the
great mass of the people.
