This conduct of Mir Simpson, think you ought to noce do justice to yourself at least shall notice him. Respectfully

 As additiqnal information to history of this affair, it IS here necessary to state that hosttes have been waged against our Press, by the same individual, ever since last summer, under circumstances ofofi- clal mismanagement, moi easily forgotten by many of our subscribers. Mir Simpson, the post master is the acknowledged tool of club near him. who have offices to be objects of trade, which they might bar ter transfer, lease ou at peasure and over which the same unlimited authority could be exercised as upon private property. It would be difficult other wise to account for the many complaints against him. the glaring acts of injustice, and the high handed measures which he resorts to, in defiance of the post office regulations With men SO situated and blind cd by rancor it would be useless to reason or to plead the usage of other offices. This plan of oppo- sition to LIS has long since been decided upon, and the complaints of injustice will be sterny disregard ed by the club of managers around him. Our sub seribes in that quarter may rest assured that tame acquiascence under sucl treatment will but lead to further aggression. If the Post Office Department affords no redress the office had as well be abolished

 Since the days of Arhuthnot and Ambrister the post master at Selma furnishes the next best c;.as for an application of fine second section which in the army regulations, were provided for extreme cases of delinquency.
