SYMPATHY WITH REBELLIoN-IheW alla
Walla Statesman is very jubillant over the re-
ported reverscs Of Gen. Grant few weeks
ago. In the issue of the 18th inst. is an edi-
torial paragraph headed "Ominous." which
shows more plainly than anything we have
yet seen in that Coppc,hcad sheet where its
true sympathics are. No man could write
such paragraph who is not in full sympathy
with the rebellion. In abiding to the report
that Gen. Grant was about to withdraw his
army from before Richmond evidently put
in circulation by enemies Of the Governmont)
it says. If this news be true, We must look
upon the campaign as disastrous failure; as
having accomplished no good whatever" and
by way of showing its belief in the truth Of
the report, refer exul,antly to our temporary
rcverscs as follows: "When we consider
the fact that the last fighting at Petersburg
resulted in the defeat and generalization Of
Of the Federal negro troops and an unfortu-
nate fight throughout, and that the rebels are
making such raids through the Shenandoah
valley and Maryland, threatening Washing.
ton and creating alarm among the inhabi.
tants, it will be a matter Of no surprise If
Grant should withdraw as indicated. SucAa
more as this ,rosld hare the effect .ce shvsld
think, to dcprcss the rar spirit to a coxsidera.
Die crtest." The natural effect Of such re-
verses, il true, would be to arouse the war
spirit into greater activity with all true pa
triots; and the last news shows that they
have had this effect, and that there is not the
slightest ground for believing that The hopes
Of rebel .ympaihizers will be realized. 1t is
very evident the editor of the Sfasesmas, in
his zeal for the cause Of JEFF. Davis. has been
betrayed into shouting before be il "out Of
the woods" He did not know then that
Grant was steadily contracting his lines sPen

THE REMOVAL OF THE PosrNAsrER.-
The p. Tribune of last week, in alluding to
the removal of Mr.. Sarent from the position
of Postmaster at this place. says:
"He gave general satisfaction and his removal j. to
lc regret ted he discharged his duty well, and his
chief and his only crime for doing his duty, and for
that he was complained of and removed"
The charge that Mr.. Sarjcnt YVES removed
for doing his duty, is Of course intended to re.
fleet upon Us and our friends. We have not
been disposed, out Of kindness to Mr.. S., to
publicly discuss the causes which led to his
removal, but since his friends-no doubt with
his approval-have seen proper to severely
criticise our action in the matter. we will
briefly allude TO some Of the leading causes
that led to his removal.
In the first place. Mr.. Sajent was incom-
petent to discharge the duties of the Office,
yet no was so srlf.opinioned that he preferred
acting upon his own judgment rather han to
adopt the opinions Of able expounders of the
law. He thus withheld from the mails for
months, letters addressed to members of Con.
gress, because the name Of the writer was not
endorsed upon the envelope, and this too after
his construction Of the postal law had been
overruled by the almost unanimous opinion of
the legal fraternity, and every other sensible
man whose attention had been called to the
subject.
Secondly, he was proverbially the most
technical and accommodating Postmaster
we have ever had.
Thirdly, lie refused to open accounts with
Government officers for their official postage.
thus compelling them to advance to the Gov
eminent from their own pockets Or stop their
correspondence.
Fourthly, he deliberately refused to SCI! us
postage stamps for note of the fractional
currency, even after tho law was cited making
it tender for stamps
These are the principal reasons why we IA
vored his removal and the appointment of our
honest. competent and industrious friend,
Charles Wood. We have no apologies to
make to Mr.. Sauent, or his friends, for having
been instrumental in bringing about the
change, and if he or they SO will it. we do
not object to bear the whole responsibility.
We have never claimed, nor do We desire,
any special favors at the hands Of Postmasters,
but we do expect from them the accommoda-
ton that is our due. and especially do We ex-
pect TO be treated with the courtesy and kind
ness due from one gentleman to another We
expect this from Mr.. Wood and nothing more.
We are confident that Mr.. w. vii. make
popular Postmaster, and that but very few
will complain Of the change.
