s1-The recklessness of the South in
money matters, proves their desperation,
their disbonesty-or both. The Georgia
Legislature has Just appropriated Thirteen
Million Dollars for War purposes. The
Confederate debt is equal to that Of the
Union, and worth one twelfth Of its face.
They now propose to compel their s per
cent creditors to receive new bonds at 6
per cent, or forfeit their claims. Contrast
these facts with the financial condition of
the Union, and any one can Zee which is
o reality and which is bubble.

Paw YOUR Postage in Full.

The Law is, when anything Is put into
the Post Office underpaia, the sum which
remains due shall be paid double by the
receiver. Thus, if John Smith send Jim
ZONES 4 letter rated at 6 cents, but pays )
only, it is not kept back like an unpaid
letter, but Jim Jones at the eud has the
6 cents to pay. And so Of all packages
through the mail. This extra charge of
ss per cent. We suppose is to make people
more careful to know that they pay enough
and to compensate for extra troubles and
risk. Letters are 3 cts. per half ounce
6 cts. per ounce-and so on, each fraction
ever OF. or l OF. counting 3 cts. This
applies to all mailsble matter, sealed or
unsealed, except newspapers, which rate
at 2 cts. for each four ounces, and books
and pamphlets which rate at cts. each
four ounces. When We consider how cheap
and expeditions the Post Office service is,
there should be no attempt to evsde or to
hinder its requirements, but to give them
full play and force.
This season is appropriate to remind all
Of these regulations. Some are fOr"arding
Holiday presents. Particularly should all
for the Soldiers be fully pre-paid-for the
brave boys seldom if ever have any spare
change, and to be shut of from anything
waiting for them, for want of little post
or express money, is too aggravating

Grant army mp to the 22d olt.
When the Federal army advanced Oh Vioks-
burg i was confident OF an easy conquest OF the
nIace but the ground III the rear OF the city
was found SO broken and rugged as to be al
most inDassable by artillery, ana the Conted-
crate for5ifcations which were very formidable,
being grass grown, showing that preparations
hal long since been made 10 stand siege upon
Iha land side. The main forriications consist
or chain Of forts about eight hundred yards
apart, connected by deep entertainments and
extending seven miles
The Federal loss in the assault OIL the 22:l
ult. was about two thousand Ii the opin~
son that another general assault would not be
ordered but that the city would be taken By
regular siege approaches,
The Gazette has ad7ices up TO the 9th
ulr., through a staff officer OF one OF Grant
Generals, who left for Washington lasteyenlng
Three assaults have been made by the Federal
forces, in all Of which they were repulsed. The
last assault vas made BY Gen. Sherman, with
twenty thousand men. The Foderals lost six
hundred killed and large number Of wounded.
The Federal outer line was within one hun
dred yards Of the Confederate works. The
gbarpshooters could prevent the Confederates
from working their guns. The Confederate
works near the city are far more formidable
chan those in front. Johnston is in the neigh
borhood Of Jackson with about fifteen thousand
men. short Of provisions and ammunition. NO
apprehensions are felt Of any serious attack on
Grant rear,
Thisoficer states tha5 Grant has taken eighty
tour hundred prisoners and eightyto pieces
