The Randolph Volunteers Capt. Kavanaugh, arrived here about o'clock yesterday evening.
THE MAILS.

WehaVe not of late been much in the habit of con- blaming of the masbut there is point beyond which endurance cannot extend We received Tuesday last letter from subscriber at Cadwelton Saline County dated Sept. 2d requesting US to discontinue his
 lie says is not that he finds any fault with the style or principles of the Advocate, but because he can seldom get 1t until 1t IS two three weeks old Caldwelton is % miles from this place. The mail leaves here every Wednesday and Saturday morning. at o'clock and ar- rIves at CadWelton the days at 3 P. NJ. We will go into any Court of Justice in the world and take our eath that for the last twelve weeks entire mail for the South, including the Caldweton packare has bean deposited in the Post office at this place on Friday the day ot publleaton-and, almost equally certain has been as regularly sent off the succeeding morning
 No blame can by possibility attach to the Postmaster at this place. We wish that to be distinctly understood Our subscriber goes on to say that he has awaited fine arrival o the ma for the last four mail days with much anxiety and had the modification of being told that the mall contained Advocates for that ofce His last paper he states is dated August 12 which he received ton the 18th. He says; unti within the last three or
 iour months, have generally received my papers the
 day alter they were prntedbut the present improve ssment Tn the Post Office Department which brinos my spapers the distance of g miles in I9 days cannot

 cat pleasure Tn reading your very useful paper''

 ing the Saturday mail from his Office to Caldweton the same day he received it, but had atterly taken notion to noid It back while We still orebore to mention tns fact hoping that his justice would teach nm that he was doing us wrong, and that after he had nad hls freak out he would to doing his duty Disappointed ill this hope, and finding the matter grow Worsemhndng that four mails in succession go from one fos oce to the other without carrying single Advo eate-we must speak plainly. Me cannot and will not put up With these things If we station ourself on the road and delay for week the wagon of the rostmaster at Colegeve, laden with eggs and butter Tor the Little Rock market have doubt the old senian would complain grevously. How much better is hs conduct. Here is subscriber We have lost al ready Others will withdraw, of course unless the evil sleloved-and we are informed by gentleman from oalne County that many of the people there wish to @ eAe the Advocate but deterred because is mpos saps to get till 1t IS old This is direct loss to usas
