The MAILS FOR BtFFALo.-It is intolerabe, the
existing arrangemenl for carrying the mail between
New York and Albany. Here we are Saturday In
the afternoon. with nothing later from New York,
by mail, than Monday morning papers. Thursday
afternoon, forty eight hours ago, we received by
Pomeroy * Co.'S express, New York papers of Tues
day. The Albany papers of Thursday, which came
10 hand last evening, contain extracts from the New
York prints OF Wednesday; and even in the Boston
papers we find later New York news than han
reached us by mail Our news from Washington,
VIA Pitisburg, Is later than by the New York mail.
We conclude as we began, by saying that this state
OF things is lntolerabe. Ii renders communication
between the commercial emporium and the whole OF
the region west OF Albany unsafe and uncertain,
deranges all business operation, and unless the evil
is speedily remeded, all business men, will, from the
necessity OF the case, law or no law, manage 10 con-
duct the correspondence through some channel by
which punctualty and despatch can be insured

AN INTERESTING ScgNE.-It having become known
that the proprietor OF the Globe Mills IN henslngon

on yesterday the day for commencing, the eX
tensive yard attached the mills was hlled early
yesterday morning, by mass OF people numbering
considerably over a thous md, all anxious to obtain
employment. IL being found impossible TO select
from among the 'anxious expecants, the foreman of
the establishment proceeded TO the second story of
the building, and from window called out the
names OF four hundred OF those formerly employed,
who on stepping forward, were Immediately set TO
work and the rest were dismissed The mills are
in full operation, and it is hoped will long con-
tlnue so.-PhH Y. S. Gaz

GEORGIA ELEcrIoN.-Oficlal returns from 50
counties give 10 Mr.. Crawford, the Wing candidate
"a 0i5, and 10 Mr. McDougald, the candidate of the
opposite party, 1s,9S5-giving the Wing candidate
majority of 5000 votes. The election appears to
have been pretty full one, there having been poll
ed in the 50 counties 43 $50 votes. In several OF
the Wing counties, where that party had very large
maJoritles, there was but small turn out. full
vote would Ia all probability have increased the
Wing majority.
