THE NAILS.

Mr. Snowden: However unfair it may BE-,
on mast OCCASIONS, To impute FAULT to the General
Post Office Department Tor failure OF Mails, (es-
peciali, in the depth OF winter,) we must con-
ceise II III a great measure responsible for the
grievance We suffer here, IN common with all the
Country south of this, by the grossly irregular
transmission of the Southern Mail, to the North,
from Washington. Ii is believed to be the fact,
that to secure tue conveyance, IN due time, OF
letter from thus city to any place north OF Wash
iuston, it must be sent BY express to Washing
ton IN order to be mailed there.
The great Southern Mail, which should reach
Baltimore at 5 A. NJ. very commonly does not
arrive ull IL W, or q s, or in the afternoon,
-and hence the loss Of day, tor all mercantile
pueposes, in the delivery OF letters IN that city
and those east OF II.
fine CONVEYANCE of the Mail from the South
depends on the contingency of a swift or slow
boat being employed on the Potomac. When
the swift boat encounters an accident than which
nothing is more common,) if an hours delay
arises from it, the Mail may reach Baltimore;
but then, in all probability, it is too late for the
Philadelphia steamboat-ahd so day sin this
event los, in all letters for the East But If the
accident is more serious, or II please the con.
tractors To put creeping boat on the line, the
Warrington Mail CUES on, and the great South.
ern Mail reposes in Washington until a conve
nient opportunity offers to forward II. This view
Of the matter l. believed 10 be true. and il Is
tain that serious incun, enence and injustice have
resulted from often repeated arrangements OF 50
important a Mail.
IL is the regularity anh certainty, "a TO time,
