For the Journal.

WILMINGTON, N. c., April 9Th, 1869.
An article in your paper Of the Sd inst,
headed The Mails, and dated " Rocky
Mount, March 30th," seems to require a
word of explanation. The writer of the
letter is endorsed as an "intelligent gen
tleman," but he may not know as much
about the mail service as the Route Agents
whom he characterizes AS careless and in
competent.
The reguiatio rs Of the mail service re-
quire that all mail matter found in pouch
es which belongs to offices already passed,
shall be deposited in the offices nearest on
either side to where the daily mail trains
pass each other. These two points on the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad are
Rocky Mount and Joyner's. The trains
ate between these two points, SO that mail
matter not properly belonging to these
offices is required to be deposited with
them to be returned to Offices where tpro-
perly belongs. ... -....- -.
The delays spoken of aud the number of
letters left at the Rocky Mount Office in
one day for different offices, mostly on the
lind of road, it is impossible to account for,
and the latter can only be explained by
the probability that the letters were all
put in one package marked " Rocky
Mount. Such packages Route Agents are
not required to open, indeed they have not
time to do so. and if misdireoted, it is the
fault of the Postmaster or clerk putting
them up, and not of the Route Agent.
The Postmaster at Rocky Mount has
been called upon for further and fuller
account of the matter which may throw
some light upon the subject Notwith
standing thescomplaints against Postmas-
ters, Route Agents, &C., the fact is that
nine tenths of mail matter delayed or mis-
delivered, arises from obscure and wrong
direction. For instance, package of pa
pers is found directed to John Jones, of
Edgecombe county, without any further
designation, and the mail agent puts them
off where he thinks they most likely be-
long But if John Jones don't live
in that county, why, then, the agent is
charged with misdelivery. Suffice it to
say that the Postmaster at Wilmington is
an active, energetic gentleman, and attends
closely and faithfully to the duties of his
office; and the Route Agents on the Will
mington and Weldon Railroad are compe-
tent and faithful. and will compare favor
ably with the same class Of agents on any
other mail route. JUSTICE.

Office Seeking

Never in the history of the nation has so
disgraceful scene been witnessed as that
presented by the thousands of greedy cor
since the Inauguration. Nothing can equal
it, except it be the policy of the new Pre-
sident in his appointments. The profess
sional office-seekers have always been
class of men that few could admire, though
in some instances their abilities might have
been greatly respected but the tide Of
events which has elevated an imbecile to
the Chief Magistracy OF the nation, and
made the high gifts of Office and power
division of family spoils and speculative
investment for adventures, has even low
cred the standard, and is truly sufficient to
render thoroughly Republic-loving peo-
pie heartily sick of a democratic form of
government and its pusilanimous fruits.
That the administration has been weak
ened by the puerile appointments of Pre-
sident GRANT, there is no question. AS an
evidence of this the important manage
ment of the Treasury has been placed in
the hands of one who, in his recent action
regarding the interest on the public debt
his first demonstration as Secretary of the
Treasury--has thus made clear his charac-
ter as Sc fussy, impracticable politician,
and demolished all pretensions which he
may have had to be considered states
man and financier." And thus has been
the apportionment of the offices; friendship
and family ties first. when he dared, but
submitting to the party lash when the con-
trolling element frowned F.; the influence of
gifts next {; minor considerations and poll
cy next until the consideration of the abil-
ity of the candidate seemed to be lost
sight of altogether.
With the aspirants-and they were
naany-a species of insanity appeared to
possess them. Hundreds seemed to have
staked their chances on single die, and
to attain the successful throw the capital
has been in perfect storm. But all could
not be successful-some must be losers
and slowly the disappointed ones begin to
leave the capital. Each train carries away
hundreds after the announcement of every
new batch of appointments, and but few
thousand are left. While We feel miserable
contempt for these foul birds of prey, yet
we pity them to some extent for who
among them had not a right to expect
something, after the disgra ceful elevations
this age has witnessed? -.

A Point Well Made.

In the debate in the Pennsylvania Le-
gislature, on the Fifteenth Amendment,
Mr.. Jacobs, Democrat) made the follow
ing point. Said Mr.. Jacobs
Mr. Speaker, have given the gentleman
(Mr. Hustled, Republican, credit for max
ing an eloquent speech, and he certainly
made an eloquent speech. I had, how
ever, almost forgotten to allude to what
seemed to me to be the most eloquent por-
ton of his remarks, when he was urging
that loyalty should be rewarded 1t was
in the description of that great battle of
the West or Southwest (Murfreesboro)
when he pictured to US in glowing language
the armies of both sides; the defeat of our
forces, the rally and the eventual triumph.
It was in the portion Of his speech that he
pictured to US this great event that really
thought the gentleman was eloquent ; that
while he spoke another great event in the
military history of our country came fresh
to my mind. It was, sir, on the decisive field
of Gettysburg, when the rebel General Lee
directed one of his most able Eeutenants
to pierce the Union centre-which done
would have ended the rebellion, and disas-
trously for the republic. But there was in
command of that centre a brave and gal
liant soldier, man who knew how to lead
his troops to battle and to victory. A Dem
ocratic soldier, sir! There was in command
of that centre a man who, when this great
lieutenant of the rebel hordes came thun-
dering on, hurled back his forces and saved
the republic. What is the result The
rebel lieutenant who so nearly pierced that
Union centre is rewarded by Federal ap-
pointment, and the Federal general is sent
into exile in the wilds of Dakota. This is
rewarding loyalty THIS is giving to these
brave men who upheld the standard of the
republic SO nobly their due How do you
account for it Is it because this Republi-
can party, SO overgrown with pride, go full
of lust of power, dare not do justice even
to the men who periled their lives in the
defence of the republic ?
Mr.. LaBau-To whom do you allude
Mr.. Jacobs refer to Gen, Longstreet
and General Hancock.

SPARKLING Cata.ba Springs.

We are informed by letter from the
Proprietor, that the Legislature has incor-
porated the "Sparkling Catawba Springs
Company" and that joint stock com
pany is to be formed on the STU of May.
Thirty eight thousand dollars has been ex-
pended in improving the property, and the
whole is now valued at sixty thousand dol
lars. There are to be sold one hundred
and twenty shares at five hundred dollars
each Attached to the Springs are two
hundred and fifty acres of good land, aud
q fine store honse-all of which is inclu-
ded, together with the furniture and build
ings which are ample enough to accommo-
date between three and four hundred per
sons.
We are satisfied that this is one of the
most desirable and valuable watering pla,
ces in the State the reputation OF its
waters are deservcdiy high, and we feel
that it must become the popular Summer
resort of North Carolina.
The Charlotte Times says that several
capitalists of that city will take stock. aud
there is but little doubt that all will be
taken before the season opens.
