Georgia commanding Postmasters not to de.
liver letters to persons who have not taken
the oath Of amnesty. The Rome Courier
says letter was received at the post Office
in that place for young lady, addressed 70
the care of her father. The young lady had
not taken the oath Of allegiance, and still
refused to do so, but her father had, and
demanded the letter on the ground that it
was addressed to his care. The Postmaster
declined delivering it on the grounds that
il would have been an evasion Of the orders,
and would have been justified in doing SO
under existing circumstances The point
was made and referred to the General for
his decision. The following is his reply: /,
Headquarters Department Of Georgia,
= Augusta, Sept 13, 1855.
Respectfully returned to the Postmaster
at Rome, Ga, through military channels: {:
The letter will not be delivered until the
orders of,the the Military Commander of

ties (not alien citizens) who cannot comply
with the laws of the country will. prepare
themselves to leave the country.

No. There are two kinds of people in
the world, whom, of all others, it is neces-
sary we should keep straight We mean
the clergy and the.women. If they get to
going wrong, the foundations of society are
sapped and general decentralization natu-
rally follows. For it is the preachers who
give the moral tone to q community, and
the tongues Of the women its social reputa-
ton. But of late matters among them have
been going wrong, very wrong, and require
immediate attention. ~ Richmond Times. "
There is a third class (says the Charlotte
N. G. Democrat,) that should be kept
straight, by all means--we mean the Edi:
tors. Unless they are 'sstraight" preach.
ers and women and all others get wrong.
A newspaper is potent for much good or q
great deal of harm Let he'preachers pray
for the Editors, and let the Editors use
their influence to sustain the precepts of
good preacbers-thsn things generally will
be straight. We have often heard, in. the
Churches of the different determinations,
prayers made for the President, Governors,
members of Congress and of The Legisla-
lures, Judges and Lawyers, but never, ex-
cept On one occasion, heard Editors com.
mended to che care of Providence. 1t may
be that preachers do not think Editors need
their prayers, or that it would be wrong to
mention them in connection with a class of
very great siuners-but we insist on the
importance of keeping Editors "straight," !"
and the clergy aud women will be all right
except the political preachers, they are
beyond hope.

Mr. Seward took tie OCCASION to
