When We yesterday annoupced that the Post
master General had let eleven long routes to
Sawyer, in Texas, without glancing at the map
we imagined that, with the service assigned to
the same contractor few weeks since, about all
the principal Offices in the "Lone Star State"
was provided for. A call at the Department this
afternoon satisfied US, however, that such is not
the case, for Mr.. DESSIsos was Just giving the
flushing touch to his great mail enterprise, by
ordering immediate service on six railroads,
viz:
Route from Harrisburg to Alleyton, so miles
from Hampstead to Brenham, q miles; iron
Houston to Columbia, 90 miles from Houston to
Orange 100 miles from Houston TO Millican, so
miles, and from Galveston to Houston, 30 miles &;
which, with the order Of yesterday, cover two
thousand miles of mail service In two days"
BY the way, Mr.. sAwrBR desires us to correct
au error which accidentally occurred in our last
The route from laSisota, Texas, is on to shreye-
port, La, instead Of Greenwood, and is very
important thoroughfars. %
While the preparation aud details Of this SER
vice is being matured in the contract office, cor
responding efforts are hourly in progress In the
appointment branch, with view to the reopen
ing Of post Office at every old point, and In

Thirty more Offices were to-day opened in
Alabama. Special attention is given to the
Southern aud Southwestern States.
The letting OF mail contracts for the whole

Der, when we hope to see every family supplied
as in former days.

The New JERSEY UNION CLUB held its
most enthusiastic meeting last evening. A
resolution was introduced and advocated
warmly by Mr.. YoUSG, the corresponding
secretary, that owing to the peculiar moment
Of the election. every effort be made to secure
for each loyal New Jerseyman in the Depart
ments at least ten days leave of absence to go
home and vote. 1t was unanimously adopted.
The meeting was then addressed by the Hon.
JAMES M. soovAL, of Camden, N. j., who
has as extended reputation outside of New
Jersey as any other man from that State.
The effort was characterized by his usual
brilliancy., He was followed by Major II. G.
BnAoKMAN, whose speech was profoundly
impressive. This distinguished soldier and
lawyer has just come on from Tennessee.
The last thing which he did was to try and
convict CHAMP FERGUSON, ito be hung to-
morrow,) Before the meeting closed, Hon.

The New York World informs tho Amori-
can people that the Democratic party carried
on the war and saved the Union. "The
Democrats of America" says this pleasing
journal, fresh from describing President
johnson as boor, an illlterate tailor, and
drunkard, "persistently, patiently, and at
last, through the mercy Of Heaven, yictori-
ously persevered in their one clear, narrow
path Of loyalty 10 the Union.' '''oa IslL ...
Truth Is always simple On the 18th Of
December, 1868, the Hon. Green Clay Smith,
Of Kentucky, introduced the following reso-
luton into the House Of Representatives:
"That we hold II to be the duty Of Congress
to pass all necessary bills to supply men and
money, and the duty of the people to render
every aid in their power to the constituted
authorities Of the Government in the crush
ing out of the rebellion, and in bringing the
leaders thereof to condign punishment.
On this plain test question in q full house
the vote on the Democratic side was three
yeas to 1rty,fUe nays. In the next August
the National Convention of the same party
called the war failure, and demanded m
immediate cessation Of hostilities.
Such was the way in which the Democratic
party "persistently and patiently and victo-
riously persevered' In the war. s...

The English visitors.

The English capitalists now on a visit to
various railroads in which they have money
invested, yesterday visited Harper's Ferry
on an excursion train sent out by WIN. p.
SMITH, Esq, tho able and efficient master of
Railroad. The special train; containing the
party, left Baltimore at 7.30 q. N. Another
train containing number of gentlemen among
them several representatives of the press,
left this city at the same hour, and Joined
the excursion train at the Relay house. The
party visited the Monocacy battle ground,
Point Of Rocks, and Harper's Ferry.
Before returning sumptuous collation.,
prepared in a car fitted up for the purpose,
was partaken of with great satisfaction, and
by which the whole party was thrown in the
best humor possible, Healths were drunk,
and some speeches made, Notwithstanding
Mr.. SMITH informed the company, on being
called out, that speech making was contrary

The Freedmen's Bureau this afternoon re-
ceived intelligence that JOE DAVIS, brother
of the arch.traitor JEFF, has written an i'm
rortant letter to an officer of the Freedmen's
Bureau of the State of Mississippi, in which
he demands the restoration of not only his
own. but his brothers. property on the Mis-

vated, as it has been for two years past by a

THE NATIONAL MILITARY AND
NAVAL ASYLUM FOR THE TO-
TALLY DISABLED OFFICERS
AND MEN OF THE VOLUNTEER
FORCES OF THE UNITED

STATES.
The meeting of corporators authorized by
an act of Congress to organize an asylum for
our disabled heroes, held yesterday in the
libary of the Smithsonian Institution, was
an affair Of no ordinary interest. There were
present enough distinguished men in military,
naval and civil life to form an august assem-
blage. There were heroes who had won laurels
on,iand and sea participating in council with
distinguished civil officers of the Govern
msnt ind gentlemen eminent in commercial
circles, endeavoring all to carry out this law
of the United States passed at the second
session of the Thirty-eighth Congress.
We printed yesterday the illustrious names
of those cOrporatOrs who were present, ana
who engaged earnestly in the matter as
signed to them by Congress. This was the
third meeting held by this body, and their
third failute to obtain quorum. This meet
ing, like the previous ones, would have been
an utter failure, had not Major General Bur.
LER offered q proposition to the meeting
which relieved them temporarily from the
modification that has resulted from previous
efforts.to organize the projected Asylum
We cannot, of course, attribute n want of
patriotic feeling or humanitarian impulse to
the gentlemen named in the act of Congress
Their neglect Of this matter results, doubt
less, from belief on the part of each mem
Der that every other member would be in
attendance at any stated meeting of corpora
tors But it has happened, unfortunately,
that on three trials a quorum has not ap-
peared in their places.
At the meeting yesterday, those who were
present-and q better list was never before
recorded-evinced determination to carry
out the first design of Congress in providing
comfortable home for the heroes who have
suffered mutilation and permanent disability
in the cause Of the country.
There was never a greater occasion for
prompt action than this; for Heaven knows,
and all well-educated surgeons know, that
the human beings designed to be benefited
by the pct of Congress we have mentioned
cannot live long enough to await the results
OF protracted red tape,

tally disabled officers and men of this class

The proclamation Of Governor Sharkey re-
specting the admissibility Of negro testimony
Is long step in the right direction, and goes
great way towards nullifying the infamous
ordinances Of the Mississippi Convention.
The Freedmen's Bureau offered to transfer to
the civil authorities Of the State the right to
try all cases in which the interests of freed
men were concerned, on condition that ne
groes should be allowed the same rights and
