hal mr. anil e
The New York mail due here on Sunday, did
not reach this city until yesterday morning The
". York mail due here yesterday morning was not
received.-The mails fromP Philadelphia have been
received without any interruption to their accus-
toned regularity.
In the Patriot of yesterday afternoon, we find
the following well merited tribute to the mail
contractors, Mr.. Resides, and Messrs. Stockton
and Stokes:-
II human energy and exertion could have a.
volded a failure between Philadelphia and New
York, il would have been done by that spirited
contractor Mr.. Resides To give some idea of
the intensity OF the cold and the unyieldng perse
verance of his drivers, it is only necessary to
mention the melancholy fact, that one of them
persisted in pushing thro' the snow storm
on.Friday night, until he froze and died upon the
box!
Asyet, there has been no failure between Pbi,,.
delpha and Baltimore, but several person. en-
Pioyed by Messrs. Stockton and Stokes have been
severely frost bit,en-and amongst them we are
sorry TO learn that their spirited agent, Mr. Purdy
at the Susquehanna, by whose exerions so MANY
failures have been saved, has suffered most Sc
verely, and may feel the effects for life He was
from 8 p. N. until 4, II. III. on the river to pre
vent the f.ilure of the mail going hence to Phi,a-
dephia Ills fortunate for the public that the Post
Master General, with his knowledge of his men
and their means, should have, through such i'm
por,ant points, the agency of Messrs Resides.
