Mr. Reagan has not only failed to furnish the country with the mails, but has fouud out that the imperfect service vouchsafed is costing more than the receipts of the Department will pay, and hence, according to v a very wise (!) provision of the Confederate constitution, the country must suffer still more unless some ex pedient can be found to get around the consti tutional difficulty. The Judiciary Committee of the Senate has had this knotty point under consideration, and they have solvt and it in true lawyer’s fashion. They have an? to ihe con elusion that if the Department should pay out borrowed money , instead of using an honest con gressional appropriation, the constitutional provision requiring that the disbursements of the Department shall not exceed its receipts, will be satisfactorily met! We quote from the report: If the expenses of the post office department he paid out of it's own revenues, the constitu tion is complied with. The committee think that the interest on a loan made to the post office department, for the payment of which, its revenues should be pledged, is an expense within the purview of the constitution. It new er would have been intended by the framers of that instrument to deprive the department, of the power of anticipating its revenues. It is very common among the nations of Europe in stead of borrowing money on the faith and general credit of the government, to pledge specific revenues by the way cf mortgage for the reimbursement of a loan. So long as the revenues of the department suffice to pay the interest on the loan and create a proper sinking ftlnd to meet the principal, the general treasury is not to be charged with the expense of tne postal service, and to that extent the commit tee are of opinion Congress may go, provided the general credit of the government be not pledged for the reimbursement of the man. it the post office department may thus borrow from third parties, the committee see no rea son why the government may not make a loan to that department cn the same terms, and ap propriate money for that purpose out of the general treasury. Such a loan would be a very proper investment for fill trust lunu3 m the hands of the government. This i3 modern logic and statesman ip.— Heaven save the constitution if the w hole of it is to be subjected to sueli violent Cun ,t: u .u v.i! It is not rtatesmanebip, legerde main. The Convention committed a great folly when it eugrafted such a provision on llic fundamen - tal law. We said eo at the time, and predicted this very state cf things that exists to era bar rass the government, and to overcome which Congress is forced to resort to a disreputable and expedient. Bat in spite of all protests the constitution so reads, and it is the duty of all to observe it. religiously. True, you might as well compel the Courts, or the Navy to pay their own expenses; but this is no excuse r ow for a violation of what is written in the compact. It must be submitted to with a good grace, whatever may be ita hardships, leaving it to time to work out the change in the constitution itself, and in the inode appoint , ed for it3 amendment. If the constitution was made for the people and the people not inncn for the constitution, all defects may be reme died by due process of law. In the matter of postages, one of three thing - will be found to be true: The constitutional restriction will have to be abolished, we shall be deprived of postal facilities altogether, or the entire business must be divorced from the government and left to private enterprise. V> arc not sure but that ibis last expedient would be best alter all, for with the perpetual tinker ing cf politicians, we arc likely to be always heavily taxed without any corresponding ben. efit. . Supposing that ibo matter will be retained, at least for a time, i:; U.e hands of the govern - ment, there is otic suggestion which Congress would do well to take into consideration. If they are determined to pursue th a ignis fatuus of making the Department pay its own ex penses, they should at once change the rate of postage to a lower figure, and not keep it at a point that makes it oppressive to the business men of the country, and absolutely prohibitory to a very large proportion of the private cor respondence. Wc are convinced that a single postage of five cents, for distances under five hundred miles, would being from a fourth to a third more revenue than the present law, were it but fairly tried. Let the experiment be made. (Fite Scußfomlilp. We have said rfbthing on this subject, and for the reason that we are perfectly willing to leave! the whole matter to the Legislature, unbiassed by public discussion. It is best, too, in times like these, to avoid political contests if we can consistently with ibo duly we owe to our country. Wc have a common enemy who de mands the devotion of all our aggressive powers, and to light whom successfully we should be at harmony among ourselves. We shall not enter into an advocacy ot any man’s claims to the high position to be filled by the Legislature at its coming session. We have no personal wishes to gratify in the matter, and we know the body of electors well enough to believe that they will set aside the pretensldhs of all small beer politicians, and give us a man worthy to represent the Empire Slate of the Confederacy in the highest legislative body known to our constitution. We regret that there are tome whose ambition seems devoted to a degradation of the State by the election of third and fourth rate men to posts of distinc tion, and feel assured the Legislature will avoid their pernicious example. As before stated, we have t o personal predi lections in the matter of the Senatorsbip, but It appears to tt 5 , under all the circumstances, •that it would be but a graceful act of public justice to tender again the position to Mr. Toombs, lie. is so thoroughly identified with our new government from the beginning of the revolution til! now, and his great intellect and enlarged experience arc so valuable in the suc cessful administration of our public affairs, that it appears to us the Stale would overlook a duty to herself, did she fail to avail herself oi his service.'. lie declined the appointment a year ago under circumstances that would have influenced any proud and sensitive mind to such a course, but an -tender through a handsome vote of the Legislature, would doubtless e m rattid itself So his acceptance. Should the Legislature <'•' r from ns iti this m i.h r, iteie are other great intellects in our SMto, well worthy of tbe post, and whose elec tion to the Senate would confer honor upon us as a people. Florida —Another Lincoln Device —The Memphis Appeal says that another proclama tion is shortly to issue Lorn Lincoln inviting a general emigration la Florida—white and black—to settle there and cultivate cotton un d r the protection of the army and navy of the United States. The State is to be remanded back to the comlUten ol a Territory. Our Florida friends, t o doubt, will rather like the plan. The State is not overstocked with negroes, and a supply Item the Yankees would bo quite acceptable. There v- Hi be so difficulty in dtsp v irg of all the Yankees who eon e with them. Another aecou. t says the noted abolitionist, F.’i Thayer, is at the head of the Florida emi gration scheme, and that over one thousand applications have already been made by pt rs ns to accompany him.

You cannot regret more than Ido that any thing should have occurred to vent me from furnishing yc u with a lie .of the casualties in the Georgia r< giments in the late battles iu Maryland, and some account of the part they leek in the bloody conflicts at Boonsboro’ Gap and Shaipsburg. It basso happened, however, that I have had t<> take my share of the sick ness with the r. st,; ami had it come a few days sooner, your correspondent would have been numbered among the prisoners who fell into the hinds of the enemy. My arrangements had ail been made lo procure correct and early lists oi our killed and wound; and the rest ’dh.ch the army has enjoyed sim-e its return to Vir ginia would have facilitated the work very much, had i b-ei) aWe u> mount my horse. But whilst I am not able to enter into par ticulars, I regret to have it in my power to say that many of the Georgia regiments suffered very heavily ia the late battles, and that all of th'm o far as my inhumation extends, with or,,- finghi ex.ep-i 'i), were conspicuous for V ■( g-.'laut behavior. It was stated in a for mer letter, that Col. Jones, of the 23d Georgia, did not demean himself properly at the battle of Manassas. A similar complaint was made against him by his brigade commander at Rich mond. At Sharpshurg,however, he completely redeemed himself, and both he and his regiment displayed the utmost steadiuess and resolution. After the fall of Gen. Wright, Col. Jones took charge of the brigade, and commanded it until he too was wounded ; when Col. Gibson, of the 44th, took the command. I have found no person who could give me a correct list of the Georgia regiments now in Virginia. Those who are in possession of the information will not communicate it to others, and I have been left to find in out as best I could. The regiments are not distributed unde r B '■>: Generals from our own State, but are scattered throughout the army ; eo that there is not a division, and but few brigades,in which there is not one or more regiments from Geor gia You may form some idea, therefore, of the difficulty one encounters in finding out, by his own unaided efforts, the corps, divisions and brigades in which they have been placed, es pecially under the rigid rules adopted by those in authority. It is not unusual to fiud one of our regiments, a3 in the case of the 18th, Col. Wofford, stuck off in a btigade made up other wise wholly from some other State. There is another regiment, the 19:b, in a brigade com manded by one Gen. Archer, but to what corps or civisiou he belongs, or from what State he bails, I have been unable to ascertain. This distribution of the regiments from Georgia is rendered necessary by the large number of troops we have i- the field, and the small num ber of brigade commanders .who have been ap pointed from the State. | Add to.all these difficulties the further fact, that the army seldom occupies in its encamp ments a space less than ten miles square, and that in passing from one portion ot it to an other, yon have to exhibit your pass and render an account of yourself, and you may form some conception of the trouble one meets with in his perigrinatious about the camps. .The following regiments are all believed to bo now in Virginia, viz : The Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth, Twenty first. Twenty second, Twenty-third, Twenty-fourth, Twenty sixth, Twenty-seventh, Twenty-eighth, Thirty first, Thirty-second, Thirty-fifth, Thirty-eighth, Forty-fourth, Forty-fifth, Forty eighth. Forty ninth, Fititieth, Fifty-first, Fifty-third, Sixtieth, and Sixty-first; the Second Georgia Battalion, the Tom Cobb Legion, and Phillips’ Legion; the Georgia Hussars (Savannah,) and Gcvern oite Horse Guard (Miiledgeville,) Cutts’ Bat talion of artillery, and several other detached bodies of infantry, cavalry ar.d artillery. The location of the other regiments I cannot give you; some of themtaay be, and doubtless are, in Virginia. The Filth, Forty first and Forty second are in Tennessee, with Stovall’s and Smith’s battalions, and Lawton’s regiment ot cavalry, and tho Forty-sixth regiment, is near Charleston. As already intimated, the regiments in Vir ginia are distributed throughout the army and in a number of divisions and brigades. The classification of some of the brigades I :un able to give, to wit: Toombs’ brigade—Second; Fifteenth, Seven teenth, and Twentieth regiments. Wright’s brigade—The Third, Twenty-second and Forty-eighth Georgia, and Forty-fourth Alabama. Lawton’s brigade—The Thirteenth, Twenty sixth, Thirty-first, Thirty-eighth, Sixtieth and Sixty-first. Colquitt’s brigade—Tho Sixth, Twenty-third, Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth G.v, and Thirteenth Alabama. Colonel Anderson’s brigade—The Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh arid F ; .r;t Georgia Regulars. Colonel Thomas’ brigade—The Fourteenth, Thirty-fifth, Forty-fifth and Forty-ninth. General Semmes’ brigade—Tenth and Fifty third Georgia, and Fifteenth and Thirty second Tennessee. Colonel Wofford’s brigade—The Eighteenth Georgia, and First, Second and Fourth Texas. T his was the old brigade of General Hood, who now commands a division. The Eighteenth Georgia is known as the “Third Texas. ’ ! Drayton’s brigade—Phillips’ Legion, Fiftieth j aid Fifty-first Georgia, James’ (S O.) Battal ion, and Col. Dessussure’s (S. C.) regimeut. I am not informed of the exact composition of Genera! Cobb’s brigade. The Fourth Geor gia is attached to Ripley’s brigade. Cults’ bat tallion o! artillery, formerly constituting a part of General Pendleton’s artillery reserves, was transferred to D. H. Hill’s division. I now hear that it has been put into the r erves again, much to the regret of Colonel Cults and his command, who prefer more active service The casualties in the Fourth Georgia, Colonel Doles, (now commanding Ripley’s brigade,)wili enable yon to form some idea of the character of the battle and the losses sustained by other regiments. Dr. Philpot, the Surgeon of the regiment, was good enough to call to see me to-day, and he informs me that the regiment went into action at Sharpaburg with only 27S men. Of this number, 33 were killed and 134 wounded. A loss of 173 out of 37S ! Among the wounded, the Doctor performed as m my as fourteen amputations. 1 saw a pile of legs and arms at his hospital the day after the fight, and can certify to his industry and activity. He iu forihs me also of the death of Lieutenant Colo nel Betts, of the Twenty eighth Georgia, who was killed at Shorpsburg. The body of Col. L. B. Smith, of the Twen ty-seventh, was not recovered, nor was Colonel tioimes’ of the Second. Those of Colonel Douglas-, Colonel Newton and Colonel Milli gan were brought off. Colonel Holmes was often heard to say he would be slain iu battle, am! if so, that he did not cara what became ot his body. II is the last male member of his house—his mother and aunt alone remaining, lie requested that his charger, a beautful bicod bay, siiould be sent home to his aunt—a re- ! quest that has been complied with. None of the field officers were mounted during the bat tle; and .vat the enemy's sharp-shooters seem to have, fund but little difficulty iu singling them out. Major Tracy, of the Sixth, was brought across the river to Shepherdstown, wh. e i: ot and. Ho had just arrived the eve nrg i . ... Die battle, and was in the best pos >br . • .t the prospect of meeting the cnc v; g tin. lie told me that he had not quite • ..<.•><••! lis strength, which had suffered a gv<> l de-.l j.-ojh the wound, received at Rich in. ud; but he was well enough, ho said, to strike another blow for liberty. ” It is reported ! Him the cat my got possession of his body at I Shepherdstown and biped it, but I cannot vouch for the truth oWEe rumor. His was a brave and gallant sjdrit. Alas! many a ehfvalrlc son cf the South now reposes from his labors in an undistinguished grave along the banks of the Antietam. There is neither m..rb!c nor head-board to point the irqnirii g trjud to their last resting place. The- sb'i-pjf .-'tu the shadow of the majestic oin ■ UAEjPL: and up u a field made forever glori. -.i: by*' ..cir bloeu and gallant deeds. Let the bleeding Lcirts at home remember this, and that the soldier never falls too soon who dies in defense of his country. His precious dnst will be gathered up in the last day; the gorges of the'overhanging mountain and the Valley of the Antietam will give up their dead; and friend and foe, rising from the same grave, will be gathered each to himself—the brave who perish tor their country to everlasting happi ness ; the wrong-doer and oppressor to eternal condemnation. If 1 were to say that the Georgians, officers and men, did their whole duty at Manassas, Boonsboro’ Gap, Crumpton Gap, and Sharps burtr, I should Live but public egression* to U.c truth.

Heavy cannonading was heard yesterday from points above here Tho fight must have bsen most bloody. A courier is ho ;r!y expected from the sceno of the conflict. Gen. Edward Price, an exchanged prisoner, and son of General Steiling Price, arrived to-day from Mem phis, which place he left on Ihe Ist. He represents the en?my 40,009 strong, with seventy pieces of artillery, strongly posted at Corinth They were fully posted ss regards our movements, and anticipated an attack, from Van Dorn and Price. Sherman at Memphis knew their exact whereabouts, - Mobile, Oct. 7. —A special despatch to tho Advor tiser and Register, dated Tupelo 7ih, says: Thebatt'.e of Corinth wss most bloody. Our forces gained a repeated succ:.63 on Friday and Saturday, oc cupying a portion of the enemy’s breastworks; and also gained the town. Tho enemy held out stubbornly on his left until reinforcements arrived, when on Sun day they fell upon Van Dorn with overwhelming forces, forcing us tj relinquish our positions and re treat The fight continued nlmost uninterrupted dur ing Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The slaughter on both sides is described as unparalleled. One of our Generals writes that Maury’s dividon, composed of Phifpr’s, Cabell’s, and perhaps Moore’s brigades, will not muster more than one brigade. Ca boll’s brigade has not more than 450 left. General Martin, of tho 4th Brigade, (chiefly Missis sippians,) was killed, al so Col Rogers, of Texas, and Col. Wirt Adams, of Mississippi. Genoral Mooro is also reported killed. Gen. Cabell was irjured-by a fall from his horso. Ten thoii’a-ayresh Fodera’s, from Eolivar, harassed Maury’s division, which was ia advance in retragado • movement The army ir understood to bo in tho vicinity cf Rip !y and perfectly safe. It is rumored that but one General was sanguine of faccors btfare the attack, which is duo to him. No officirs have yot arrived hero, nor any of tho wounded. Mobile, Oct. B. —A special despatch to the Mobile Advertiser A Register, dated Tupelo, 7lh, contains tbo following: Having driven in the enemy’s skirmishers, the com bined forces of Generals Van Dorn and Price attacked them in their entrenchments, at 9 A. M., Monday, driving them out and captaring nine pieces of artillery. We continued to repuiso them, slowly driving them back, until Right. , Our loss was heavy during the day, Phifer’s and Green’s brigades suffering the most. Gen. Martin was killed. Cols McFarar.d ami Irwin, of Missouri, were seriously wounded. At 4 o'clock Satei 'ay morning the enemy opened upon us with heavy a til lory, r; suiting, however, with •but small loss. At S o’clock our forses advanced, cap turing several siege guns, Green’s brigade sgiin suf foring heavily, and being the fir t to enter the town.- Cabell’s brigade charged tbo foit on College Hill. The enemy reserved their (ire until they were within thirty yards of them, when they opened a murderous fire, re pulsing them with great loss. Information having been received that tho army at Bolivar, 29,050 strong,was marching via Pocahontas oa our rear, a retreat was ordered at 10 A. M., being somewhat disorganised, but we succeeded in bringing off part of the captured arthlcry, and our wounded and baggage. Wo fell back ten miles, to Cypres3 Creek. At eight o’clock Hur-day morning Colonel Adams commenced skirmishing with the Yankee Bolivar forco at Pocahontas, and fell back one miie, when he was reinforced by Whitfield’s Legion and a section of artillery, and afterwards by some of Mannie’s division, v. hich was also reinforced; but the whole of this force proved insufficient, and were driven back, tho enemy burning tho bridge and t. ft.ppirg Moore’s brigade and four pi-.ee-3 of artillery. Van Dorn and Viliipiguo coming up, th c y re-captured Eloore’s brigade, with a brigade of their captors and thirteen pieces of artille ry. The enemy wera than driven back to Matamora, and our army continued their retreat to Eipley over tho read our bagg-.-ge train had passed. Our loss in all the engagements i3 estimated at 5,030. and t!:a of tho enemy as much heavier. Tho loss at Pocahontas was equal to that at Corinth. Onr loss may be over estimated, a3 stragglers wero numbered by the thou sand, and the retreat not being very orderly. We lost four pieces of artillery- * f Corinth we captured eoD piisoncrs, which wc-re * off safely. The enemy made r.o attempt to f wus from Corinth, nor dU the Bolivar feres aft-. * Jefeat at Davis’ Bridge. G: n. Van Dorn v. _ -icuous for his daring, and Gen.

Our army is perfectly safe, and no fears are enter tained of being followed by the crippled Yankees. We will fca qulskiy organized and ready for another com- bat . The killing of Cola Ecgers, A<lem3 and Gen luosre is contradicted. Litut, Sam. Farrington, of Capt. Wade's battery of St. Louis, is among the killed.
