The mails North and South of US have been

there was any concert among the contractors
to ex.o-t from the Post Office Department an
exorbitant price for the transportation of the
mails, it was certainly the duty of the Pos
master General to resist it. But he ought still
to have made certain provision against the
present interruption on SO important route.
The general opinion, we believe, among COM

"a courier was despstched about week
ago from Shreveport to Fort Jessup, with
the astonishing intelligence that that town
was filed with an armed force from Texas,
amounting to about one hundred men, un.
der the command of General Rusk /; and
that the lives Of many of its citizens had
ben threatened by the invaders.
"On the receipts Of this intelligence, Col.

is not yet known, though since he left Fort

Shreveport, which renders it ccrain that
our gaIlan, Colonel, and his command, will
not have a chance to measure swords with
the Texans, as they had already left the
countay.
ave understand that General Rusk
states that he came with no hostile intention
towards the citizens Of the United States,
bu, that the Caddo Indians, living within the
Unitcd Stetes, had crossed over into Texas
and waged war upon its citizens, and thathe
came to sustain them. This We understand
he did-as we'll as threaten. Mr.. SeHell, the
