COMPLAINTS OF THE MAlLs.--We
hear great complaints Of the no-arrval
of The Wing at the county Post offices.
Those Offices which are supplied from rail
road stations, we have the most COM
plants from. The papers are all mailed
in Elkto in due time to reach their des-
tina,ion on Saturday. The fault is not
ours, therefore it must be either in the
stage lines that supply county offices or
in the agents on the cars, and we believe
the latter, as general thing, are the
guilty parties. Some of the mail agents
on the cars arc very efficient officers,
while others, we have good reasons for
believing, are donkeys.

Ths End of an Experiment.

Our readers have not forgotten how President
Lincoln in his first annual message, put forward
his scheme of colonization, erging upon Congress
the ttcessity Of providing home in some foreign
country for the free negroes Of the United States.
Congress, in answer to his suggestion, made an
appropriation Of 100000, to enable the Pres-
dent to try the experiment Of deponing an entire
race Of cllored Americans to some shore where
the climate shall not be unGyoabIe, nor the
people inhospItable, ncr prtludiced. The colored
people Of this country did not receive this propo-
sllion with the utmost enthusiasm, though a few
hundred were fou who we're disposed to suffer
themselves to be experimented uponj and an ex
petition under The general direction Of Senator
Pomeroy was fitted out, and these voluntary ex-
lies were shipped to Cbirqui. The New Grena.
patriated Americans and the poor colored
people, after about one.lourth of their number
have died, have been brought back to the United
States, the experiment thus far We earn, having
cost the Government only about S35 900. Thus
ends the foolish scheme, luckily not an expensive
one, and one which neither Congress nor the
President will be likely TO attempt to repeat The
nation isa good deal wiser to-day than il was two
years ago, and as part Of thai addition to its
wisdom it hiss come TO understand that the color
ed race in America is constituent part of our
population, as much as the Irish or the German )
and that it is not only as great folly, but as
gIaring wrong to attempt 10 drive one as the
other out of he country.

grounds. There is no other such body Of people

BouNTIFs FOR vETERANs-A rc.enlsted vete
ran OF the Sixth Vermont Regiment, ha. written
US, desiring us to call the attention of our read
ere, and the newspapers in the State, to the lact
that many OF the soldiers from Vermont, who
have been IN the field nearly three years have
this spring re enlisted, expecting that tho towns
to which their re-eullstments were credited
would promptly vote them bounty il they voted
bouncs to any one and the writer, it seem
to US, very justly complains OF the iuvidous
distinctions made IN this respect between raw
recruits, and re enlistug veterans, the former
getting bounty while the latter do not. We
have already alude to thi, subject, and tx.
pressed our opinion that veterans who 10 enlist.
OF Ia tho q ID have, to say the least, an equal
claim With new men upon the bounlies o! towns
and there is no doubt that they ought to DO
placed ~ this respect oertainl, in as good a no.
siton a, those who now enlist for the first lime :;
and we believe that ultimately this will be done
We have heard to be sure, OF few towns that
have declined to pay bounties to veterans and
also have declined to consent that their re-
enlistments b. credited to towns that would
pay bounties, blu, these cases must be few,
and such towns will, in the end DO shamed into
dealing fairly By thes, ro.enlisted soldiers.
