TuE MALs.-We publish the following cor
respondence 10 hopes that our members Of
Congress will exert their influence to obtain
tie establishment by law Of the route Indicated,
whc .: appears that the Postmaster General
has not tie power al present I" establish.
REPUBHcAN OFFICE,
Newport. Oct. 3Oth 1870.
SIR,-I take the liberty OF suggesting an i'm
proyement ia the mail route between New York
and this town.
Our mail is now brought by STEAMBOATS, 10
Stonington, over the Stnnincton railroad to
Providence, and thence here. When the steam
boat arrives at Stonugton in season, the mail
gets 10 Providence in time to be brought here
the same day, Except Sundays,) and arrives
here abont 3 Z. N. The mail which gets to
Providence on Sunday, aud all Others when
the boat is delayed. (Which occurs frequently
at this season aud during the winter) do not
get here until the following day-the second
after they leave New York; aud if the boat IS
delayed on Saturday morning the mail is not
received here until Monday, being three days
from New YorA.
The Stonington Road mail train stops for
wood and warer at the depot, about l-2 miles
West from the village .f Kingston, in this state
which village is about l3 miles from this town
3 to miles of which distance is over the
bay, being two sal.boat ferries.
The improvement would Suggest is the en-
ployment of a carrier TO bring the mail here
from the depot; when we should get it, gencr-
ed, or, about or . O'clock in the morning
and when the steamboat is delayed by any cause,
we should receive it the same day, or few
hours after she arrived.
This arrangement would produce the follow
ing results
The mails, days in the week, would, gen
orally, be received 8 or hours earlier.
The mails which come on Sunday mornings
will be received about 30 hours earlier.
The mails when the boat is delayed will be
received, sometimes, 80 hours earlier; and,
when the delay occurs on Saturday morning
about 50 hours esrier--depeDding upon the
time that the boat is delayed.
These results. | think you will allow, are ol
sufficient importance TO render the suggestion
make worthy of your consideration.
Very respectfully,
lonr obcdient servant.

4 Wholesale Land Piracy IN C0kiQnd.--
The most wholesale and daring robbery and
outrage which has disgraced our State. toot
place 10 the town Of Highland, Oakland county.
on Sunday week. Phineas L. Davis, Esq. o.
this city, has a farm in that town. Mr.. d. has
been al a heavy EXPENSE 10 stock II with tn
best breeds Of cattle, hogs, &c, and had sue
ceeded in securing one Of the hest stocked
farms in the country. But, in a single hour.
by the plunderings Of a ruthless band of daring
scoundrels, the acquisitions of years have been
DESTROYED.
Ii appears that, on Sunday morning of last
week, before day light, twenty five men armed
with knives and other missiles came to the
farm in wagons, and, without any ceremonr
proceeded to the barns and out houses, aud
killed some twenty hogs-drove OFF some 20 o.
80 others-four fine horses--one double wagon
and harness-one bull-23 sheep--GO0 bushels
al oats-300 bushels Of corp-besides several
harrows, pioughs and other farming utensils
and. worse than all, ripped open several fnc
breeding sows of the berkshire breed, by whicl
brutal act between 90 and so pigs were de-
stroyed!
Immediate information OF this wholesale
robbery was brought TO Mr.. Davis who II
once proceeded to the scene Of plumber; su'
after several days of persevering effort, sue
cecded in arreStng nineteen Of the thieves al
of whom were indicted by the Grand Jury IN
session at Pontiac. The residue Of the gan.
will probably soon he arrested.
Such a daring robbery as this is we'll ea'cu
lated to excite alarm. 1t is SO cIaringy cut
rageous as to be almost incredible. lnleea,
had we not the clearest evidence Of the truth q
the facts we have given, we should concej,
It impossible that they could have occurred =.
a civilized community.
The trial Of these land pirates will come o.
next week at Pontiac.

We think it can be shown that 5-l0ths OF
the receipts would have been fairer aud a
more lust proportiun; in which case, even with
the present trade, aud surely VIC may with CON

for passengers alone would have amounted to

on the other hand it ranges to tents per mile
