WAsHINGToN, March l2.-We under
stand that the Postmaster General has
decided on sending the great Western
Mail on the National Turnpike Road 10
Wheeling, Virginia, as soon as that road
is sufficiently improved 10 insure proper
expedition, which will probably be the
case in few months. The frequent in
terruption of the mail on the Clarksburg
route makes this measure very desirable,
as We are well assured that the mail has
been many lines interrupted the past
winter, from the wafer courses on that
route, notwithstanding the exeriions of
these entrusted with the mails. Mint.
March l7-No business Of leading i'm
portance was yesterday transacted i'll the
Senate or House of Representatives. Va
rious subjects were discussed; among
which was, in the Senate, the bill for
the reduction of the staff of the Army,
and, in the other House, bill auihori-
zing a subscription 10 the stock of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Compa-
ny neither of which was finally acted
on.

ceedings i'll both Houses, to our next, in
