1t isl subject of much regret, that owing to some want
OF arrangement, between the Rail Roud and the Post
Offlce, the mail from Washington 10 this city should
have been retarded for a few days past. We hope,
however, that every thing will soon be adjustcd-and ad-
dttlonal speed given to its transportation. We under.
stand, that the Postmaster General has invited The Pre-
sidents of the Baltimore, fredericksburg and Petersburg
Railroad companies and the Contractors on the same
line, TO meet Il. Washington, on the 21lh, will, the hope
OF making some satisfactory arrangement. AIR. ke.h,il
is very anNi""s to speed Iii" mriIs-and looks forward

We have every hope, that as the interests Of the mail
and the Railroads appear to bc intimately connected,
such arrangements may be made, as to promote both
ana That the mail may run on the roaIs with Us much
rapidi,y as possible, at a fair and moderate compensation.
The kali-road between Baltimore and Phiiadel pf;a, as
soon as completed, will contribute greatly to the facility
OF the mails from north 10 south. Both the lines which
The Postmaster General has in view, may then he brought
on to Washington. to Richmond, Petersburg, Raleigh,
&c. As last as llis arrangement progresses, the express
mail Will be merged in one Of the daily lines, until ii will
be cHtIngnislied. Thus the mails and the travel will 20
on together with equa! rapldity and regularity.
Ii gives US great pleasure to soc the good spirit in
which the Compiler Of Thursday last, takes up this sub.

from Thursdays Compiler, BY way Of prelude TO its for,
mer article, which has hecn lurnished.us for publication,
with some STRUCTURES from a pen at Washington:
(from THrSday's C~oanpier.)
"The propositions which we mentioned from the Rail
road Company were to carry both the great MAJ! and the
express, mail daily by the same Inc. We have reason 10
believe that the propositions were rejected By the Post
muster Genera, not because he thought too much was
charged. but because the hours at which the mails reach.
ed Washington from tho North. were such as to make it
impractcablc for the two 10 come together by the same
line, wi,hou: greatly delaying one or the other. 10 meet
the views Of the Postmaster. General, two daily lines be-
tween Richmond and Washington became neccssary.-
The Railroad Company have recently established two.
And il is now probable lla: IN Arrangement may be
made between the Department and the Railroad Com.
pany, ii the hours Of these two lines can be 80 fixed as
TO suit the views of the Department in respect 10 the
comfortable accommodation OF passengcrs."
