In publishing the communication of +" jo-

General TO observe, in reference to the com

without advertising for proposals for the same,
that thsis not the fault of MIR. Mclean, but the
neglect Of his predecessor and with respect
to nonresident contractors it is presumed that
the rule of the department is, to accept the
lowest responsible offers, without regard to
the residence of the persons contracting.
From the statements in the report of the
Postmaster General, which we also insert in
this number, it cannot be reasonably expected
that all the routes on which the mail is now
conveyed in this state, can be continued. We

county, and St. Louis, to ST. Charles. Besides
this, there are weekly mails from Ka-kaskia
to ST. Louis, and from the latter place to ST.
