PAINFUL Inconsistencies men
talk like angels, and pray with fervor, and
mediate within deep recesses, and speak to
God with loving affection and words of
union. and adhere to him in silent devotion,
and when they go abroad are passionate as
ever, peevish as frightened fly, vexine
themselves with their reflections; they are
cruel in their bargains, unmerciful to their
tenants, and proud as a barbarian prince
They are, for all their fine words, impatient
Of reproof, scornful to their neighbors, lovers
of money, supreme in their own thoughts
and submit to none. All their spiritual fan
cy is an illusion. They are still under the
power of their passions, and their sin rules
them imperiously, and carries them away in
allibly.-Jeremy Taylor.

Mail CarrieTs.-The Charlotte Democrat,
speaking of the difficulty of procuring the SER
vices of persons who can legally carry the mails,
says We are not certain that mail carriers are
required by the government to take the test oath
We think the Postmaster General has decided
that mail carrier is not an officer of the govern
ment, but labOrcr, and therefore not required
to take the test OATH We believe such Il
statement in the Raleigh STANDARD some weeks
ago. Will the editor of that paper please inform
us in regard to the matter"
Acknowledgement Speed has decided that the
fact of having served under the Confederate GOV
ernmcnt mail contractor or mail carrier, docs
not of ITSELF debar person from taking the test
oath, from taking contract or carrying the
mail under the Federal government, provided
there be no other obstacle to his taking the
required oaths laid down in the Act of Congress
of 1862 In other words, the having been a mail
contractor or mail carrier, (Which emplOymcnts
not considered o6ccS,) does not bring the
person within any of the fourteen exceptions
of the Presidents proclamation.

tation lies on the outskirts of the City, is very
much annoyed by the continued loss of hogs and

and his complaint is based on the most rea-
sonable grounds.
The killing of stock off of our impoverished plan
tations by irresponsible parties, does the farming
interest material damage. We that
good soldier would wantonly kill cattle; and

ty they would be Immediately stopped.
