The Department has certainly saved much by the
contracts just made, should say from $50 $4,000,
and have in many instances much improved TO
mode OF conveying the mail, and in expedition. For
nstance-on the main route to New Orleans, company
has contracted to convey the mail from city of Washing
ton Fort Mitchell for $67 ,OOo about $40 Is 900
than heretoore and have offered proposals TO continue
a daily line from Fort Mitchell TO New Orleans for
500 900 per annum (but little more than the saw
ing TO Fort Mitche) and to expedite so as TO deliver
the mail from New Orleans at the city of Washington
in twelve and half days, instead OF fourteen
Some Of the contracts certainly taken too low and
may produce delay loss to the Department but none
of that description believe the principal routes.'
