Augusta greatly needs q new post office.
The business of the Department here is I'M
mense +. C. Allen alone sends out more
postal matter than all the rest Of the offices
in the State ten times told enough to pay
the running expenses of all the other Post
offices in the State. His postage bill amounts
to the Booth part of the entire postal receipts
of the United States. Mr.. Vickery's bust
ness is also very extensive. His postage
bill for the last year has been nearly $780,
600. More than 100000 copies of papers
and periodicals are sent out from this office
weekly, while the room occupied for this I'M
mense business is little 'seven by nine"
affair not too large for an Office of one
twentieth of the matter. Rockland has a
post office which was erected two years
ago bv the Government noble, granite
structure with admirable accommodations. a
single room of which is more spacious than
the entire office at Augusta. From present
appearances, the amount of post office matter
will increase in our CT ty, rather than dimin-
ish. Why can we not be supplied with an
office that shall answer our great needs? The
present accommodations are close. dark, in
convenient and unhealthy. The clerks have
scarcely standing room sufficient for their
constant labor. Messrs. Blaine, Hale, Frye,
Reed. Lindsey, Ladd, Murch and all other
men connected with the General Govern
ment who know anything Of Maine, know
that every word we utter is true. and why no
movement has ever been made to supply the
almost indispensable want We mention, We
cannot divine Why furnish Portland with
a splendid granite building for a post ONCE
and one still more expensive and elegant for
customs, and do nothing for Augusta

at the manner in which the affairs of the

management of Agent White. The old board
of officers were reelected. The class of
goods made here find ready sale, and from
the fact that no Vassalboro' stock is in the
market, we suppose it pays a good dividend.
