THE WAR.
The recent intelligence from the Rio
drandc has produced, as might have been
cxpeCed, a high degree of excitement
throughout the country. Troops are ad
vancing to the seat of war from all points.
Pennsylvania is again iu the front rank,
h iving furnished another regiment even
before some of the other States have rais
ed an additional company. This shows
the character of her people. There is
not another State in the Union lhat has
jsuflered more already from Polk's ill-
judged and worse managed policy, or that
ia likely to suffer more from it I.ereaner;
yet she is found foremost in responding
1) the call of the Government and in
risking the lives of her citizens in endea
vors to get the nation out of the difficul
ties in which that policy has involved
her.
It is to be deeply regretted that this
var has not been pushed with more vigor
by our Government. Though a large
majority of the nation condemned, no
doubt, the manner in which it was brought
on by the President, .as premature at the
time and under the circumstances, the
whole people, nevertheless, have been
looking anxiously for its successful termi
nation, and thousands have nobly rallied
under the nation's standard, willing to
make any and every sacrifice in defence
of their country's honor. But all their
efforts and sacrifices have been thus far
in a great measure unavailing. It is now
over ten months since hostilities were
commenced; much treasure lias been
spent and many lives have been lost; and
ret the wrongs of which we complained
bave not been redressed and a peace has
not been "conquered."
It must be apparent to every attentive
observer that the Administration is entire
ly incompetent for the task upon which
it has entered. Instead of sending: on, as
it did, inconsiderable detachments of
troops, many of whom even were cut
down in detail, cither by the sword or by
disease, the Administration ought 10 have
pushed at once a strong force into the
enemy's territory and taken possession of
tiis most valuaWe towns and fortresses;
which would have alarmed and disconcer
ted the Mexicans, and induced them, as a
consequence, to sue for peace. General
Scott, as appears by his correspondence
with the War Department, had early ma
tured a plan of operations which lie deem
ed it necessary should be carried out in
order to bring the war to a successful is
sue; but his plan wr.s not adapted and he
himself not permitted to repair to the
scene of action, as he desired to do, until
quite recently, when the Administration
had learned, what it ought to have known
from the first, that it could not get along
without his "aid and comfort."
The Administration has at length a-
O
roused itself from its lethargy and appears
intent now upon doing what it ought to
bave done from the first send out a force
adequate to the enterprize in which it has
engaged. "Belter late than never." -Though
rauch, of hal had been accom
plished by our gallant armies has been in
a great measure lost for want of proper
means to follow up, by still farther a
chicvements, the advantages which they
bad gained, we shall ere long have in ser
vice a force suilieient to "clear the track"
as i; itdvanccs and to bring the Mexicans
speedily to terms. Too much praise can
rot be awarded to the officers and men
for their gallant conduct throughout this
war; and their deeds in future will doubt
less Ic such as to maintain, fully, the high
character for skill and courage which
ibey have already acquired.

ALTERATIONS OF THE POST
OFFICE LAWS.
The following edict of the Postmaster
General embodies die several changes in
the Post Office laws made by Congress
nt its late session. Some of them are
extremely onerous and absurd that, for
instance relating to transient newspapers,
by which it !ecomes necessary, before a
rnan ran send a newspaper to a friend, to
pay 3 cents postage. The provision of
the law of 1845 allowing newspapers to
go free within 30" miles of the place of
publication is alwuisheu.
So savs the New York Tribune
W
hare examined two laws, nassed by con
gress relating to the Post Office, and in
neither of these is there a word about
abolishing the free postage on ncM'spa
pers adopted by the law of 1845. Where
then is the authority for the Postmaster
General's edict on this Subject. .'If there
be a 3d law; embracing such' a provision,
we have not seen it. . The laws we have
seen show a disposition to tax the people
to extend more favors to the law makers,
who enjoy entirely too many already.
Regulations of the Post Office Depart
ment for the enforcement of the act, of
Congress of the 1st, 2d and 3d ol
March, 1847. ' " '
1. All deputy postmasters are author
ized to send through the mails, all letters

will be delivered to the person addressed
without any charge of postage, as an ap
propriation has been made by Congress
for their payment. All letters and pack
ages issuing from the departments, should
be marked on the envelope "official busi
ness" and be signed b)- the heads of the
departments or under their direction, by
their chief clerks, and by the other offi
cers who were entitled to the franking

ceive free, their private letters or papers.
7. All Newspapers transmitted through

is their duty to return them to the sender
under a new cover charged with letter
postage. If deposited in a post office un
sealed, addressed to deputy postmasters
or others they will not in any case be for
warded by mail without prepayment of
the postage. If sealed, they will be rated
with letter postage, and forwarded in the
mails.

and ending the 30th of June, and in due
proportion for any period -less than a
year. -. I

quarter as other proceeds of the office.
