The PosT OFFICE ADvERTrsTN0.-Some OF the
republican journals are, we sec, endeavoring
to create an impression that the Post Office list
OF letters was taken from the HERALD and given
TO an administration organ because Of the
superior circulation of the latter. This is
refreshing. Tue journal that has got 1t takes
care to make no assertion Of this kind ITSELF for
the very good reason that its circulation is
inferior to two other city papers that rank next

Il would have paraded the fact as q justification
of the action Of the Post Office authorities. The
fact IL, as we before stated, we declined to con-
tinne the publication Of the list because the
government refused to pay us more than tfth

Journal Of Commerce.


"Auguste Belmont, of New York, the dis
linguished chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, has been for some time
past, the object of malicious abolition attack,
not alarmed so much at him personally as
against the party Of which he is so valuable
member. Among other asserionsis is, that he
is il favor Of peace and assumption OF the
Southern debt, because the Rothschilds and
himself are holders Of large amount Of Con-
federate bonds. Now, we are authorized by
Mr.. Belmont to state that be is not the own
er or holder of single dollar Of Confederate
bonds or money in any shape whatever, and
he happens to know that Messrs. ROthschilds
are in exactly the same position.

TRAvEL1Na IN DfxIE.-Railway fares in the South are so enormous that a soldier, officer or private, cannot afford to go home, even when he is'so lucky as to geta chance. A resolution has been introduced into the rebel Congress proposing to regulate this condition of things. In connection herewith the following letter from rebel officer was read ::

 How can we, who live some six or seven hundred miles hence afford to pay the railroad charges. According to present rates,, Briga- dier Generals monthly pay will carry him from Richmond to Augusta Colonel could not go further than Charlotte, North Carolina; a Lieutenant Colonel would have to lay over at Raleigh; Major would not get further than Danville and as for poor Captain or Lieut. enaut, after paying for a bed in Richmond, they would have just about enough left to buy a ticket to the first water station"

 We have an idea that Sherman will furnish these rebel soldiers with some ideas of the way to travel cheaply and expeditiously, without any interference of the rebel Congress.

any further. The editor has attempted
to prove all Of them falsehoods, and
does it in the same way and with the
same disregard for truth manifest in
the above examples. The evidence he
produces, even when he attempts to
misrepresent geographical facts, is the
mere assertion: "This was all lie, +"
"Now it is very well known" "Now
there was not word of truth in any
part of it," "The whole country
knows" "It now turns out" &c, and
winds up with this bombastic assump-
ton:


WE think it is not necessary for US to
review further the dispatches cf Stanton.
Surely WE hare shotcn there is no more re-
liability in them than in the dispatches
from any other quarter.


Ugh! Ugh! Big Iyin, me!


Now all this has been done without
the production of particle of evidence.
The editor expects his credulous read
ers to believe him, to take his mere
word, in preference to believing the
official dispatches of Gems. Grant and
Butler and Secretary Stanton.


The editor processes, in one instance,
to cite some anonymous correspondent
from Washington as authority, but was
ashamed to give his name, or even the
paper for which he coresponded. "It
now turns out" that this letter was
written by dirty rebel sympathizer
who has been tolerated at Washington
City, and is in the habit of transmitting
his ISLANDERS and misrepresentation of
the army and its officers to that con-
temptible sewer of treason and false
hood-the Cincinnati Enquirer pa
per even more reckless and unreliable
than the St. Clairsville Gazette, if
such a thing is possible.


After reading the Gazette's article,
of last week, the "sympathizers" who
patronize it no doubt feel very much
rejoiced at the prospect of an early ex-
termination of the Union army, as the
editor succeeds in getting Grant and
Butler whipped quite frequently, We
would just inform them that after every
Mrashing Lee gave Grant, Grant re-
treated toqcard Richmond and that he
is just sixty miles nearer the latter
place now than when his army was
whipped at the Wilderness, and about
the next time he is whipped and retreats
he will have possession of the Rebel
Capital.
