PnstnI Improxements.

The public will note with sstisssotion
that liberal spiTit Of refcrm has entered
into the administration Of our postal af-
fairs. No part Of the Government con-
germs us more fanilisrly than tha. which
regulates the mails, and tha changes which
the Postmaster General has lately project
ed viii receive general attention and sp-
provaI These reforms are based upon
EuTopsen systems long in successful op-
eration. One Of thssais the pls0 Of free
delivery, by which letters are brought 10
the door fTes of charge, and which is nav
in partial operation under the Law which
took effect in July lsst. Another change
affects The pay Of postmsstsrs, who, under
e former rule, had 10 fixed rates Of salary,
but depended upon certain calculations of
the number Of letters received. In his re-
vised code, Mr.. Blair proposes to divide
rost Offices and tho compensation OF post
masters into fye classes, according to the
annual average Of compensation during
the four years last psst, salaries to be tx
ed in regular sums. Congress, with
view to the wants Of cur s5ldieCs, has
provided that hereafter articles Of clothing
in package Of net over two ponds, al
dressed to soldier in the army, may be
transmitted through the mails. Another
reform, advised by Mr. Blair in his last
report, deserves the attention Of Congress
snd the country---we mean the "Doney-
order system, prscticed By tbs English
pest Office, to give additional security to
the transmission OF money. The post ofi-
ee, under this rule, becomes bsnk, and
gives its prOmiss to pay at any point
whittier money is sent. These referms
will make an interesting chapter in our
postal progress, and we trust that nothing
viii stand in the way Of their full trial.

Mount Pleasant and proceeded down the creek,

FROM WASHINGTON.

A gentleman, who tonight arrived from the
Army OF the Potomac, saw before he left there
Richmond paper OF Thursday, found on the per-
son Of deseTter who came into our lines, in
which appears an article stating that 100 officers
had escaped from LIBBY Prison by digging q tun-
mel under the street for that purpose, 1t is sup
posed the prisoners had been engaged upon the
work for atleast month. They we're missed st
roll call and forthwith troops we're dispatched in
yaTious directions to capture them. Four were
oyertaken on the Williamsburg and Hanover c.
H. road. The Others it is suspected were Sc
cTeted in the neghborhood of Richmond.
The guards were arrested on the belief that
they were in collision with the prisoners but
were afterwards relieved, the suhterranean mode
OF their escape hsyiDg become known. The pa
per says that Neal Dow was not among the runa-
ways, but was probably waiting TO accompany
the next batch. The deserter above referred to
says large number Of his regiment, the 14th
Louisiana, are barefoot and that the daily ration
consists Of a quarter of pound Of meat and one
pint of meal.
There has been no active military movement
n our army for week past.
Governor Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, has
arrived in Washington.
The Enrolment Bill as returned to the Sen
ate with the House amendments, will be acted
upon by the Military Committee Of the Senate
tomorrow.
The points Of difference between the two
branches Of Congress are comparatively tnfng,
and will soon be adjusted, and the bill will speed
