a reconnaissance from the right Of the
Army of the James on Sunday, in the
direction of New Kent Courthouse, and
found Pickett infantry division, Of Long

venting Sheridan from passing down to
the James river and joining Grant; but,
nevertheless, Sheridan Can, if he so

THE FALL OF LEsTON-COMMENTs o
THE PRESS.

THE FALL OF RLESTON-COMMENTS OF
THE PRESS.
In the absence of later news from
America, which was anxiously expected,
\ the result Of the fall of Charleston con-
tinued to be eagerly canvassed.
The London Times, in an editorial
recounting and eulogizing the operations
of Sherman down to the fall of Charles
ton, says:
The next operations of this most
eventful war will be expected with sin
eular interest. Sherman has tfaversed
Georgia as conque' or, but the Geor-
gians have not returned. to the Union,
nor have the Unionists occupied the
State. For that; even Sherman is not
strong enough. Had he left even small
garrisons in the several towns which he
entered, he would now he without an
army. Lee and Beauregard are at the
head of unbroken. armies, and the spirit
of the South has rather been raised than
depressed by its recent regerses. The
Federals have recovered their military
reputation, but, if the South is still re-
solved to stand out to the end, they have
made but little progress toward the end
of the war.
In another editorial, the Times writes
from different point Of view, and says {:
The signs of Confederate exhaustion
have brought us to thatAurning point OF
the American war which places us within
sight of the final scene, and the part we
shall be called on to play in it. Ii the
combatants shake hands, the next victim
may be an unconcerned spectator. AS
| the Federal Government maintains that
! i has quarrel with US in the shape Of
claims, which we do not acknowledge,
and it has great deal to gain by a, sue
cessfal war with us, the question to which
we have to address ourselves is simply
whether they can 60 to war with US
with fair prospect of success. If they
can, they certainly will-but both North
and South are exhausted, and are not
likely to find success easy by turning
against a new foe, with untouched
strength and resources.

. THE P0sToFFICE DEPART.TEsT We are
informed that on the summing up of the ac-
counts OF the Postofhce Department for the
fiscal year ending June 81, 1865, the excess
of receipts over expenditures is found to be
more than $3.50, ,000.. This is the first time
in the history of that department that so
favorable a financial exhibit has been made
and though portion of this retrenchment
is due to the increased number of letters
written and sent to and from the armies in
the field, considerable share of the credit
is due to the economical and business-like
manner in which the affairs OF the PoStofice
Department have lately been conducted,
and the efficiency of the officers who have
been engaged in the mail service. There is
good reason to believe that after civil gov
ernment is fully established in the Southern
States, and that country is occupied by en-,
terprising men from the North, the mail
service of the whole country will be made
self-sustaining. Under the system inaugu-
rated by the present Postmaster General
such result Is almost certain. = Hdshang-

q The carriage in which the late President,
and his family, rode to Ford's Theatre on
the night of his assassination, has arrived
in New York, and is now on exhibition in
Broadway. 1t is a plain old fashioned
coach, and was presented to the late President
by acommittee of gentlemeninlS6l Crowds
ofpeople visit the locality daily to view this
relic, and among them great many soldiers.
One of these war-worn veterans with
wooden leg, while examining it shed tears.
He stood and looked at it fer some time,
then went over and kissed the cloth which
hung from the drivers seat Heaven
rest his soul !" exclaimed the poor fellow
