Correspondence of the Express.

Washington, May 2, 1545.
The mail contracts have at length been de-
cared Mr. Cave johnson has awarded them
precisely to suit his convenience and will, with
out reference either to the old law or new. In
some eases the highest bids have been taken;
in Others the lowest for the same gtade Of SER
vice. II the Post Master General were asked
why he did not lake the lowest, according to
the new law, he would answer that il had not
gone into effect. II he were enquired Of, why
he did not then comply with the old law, which
required that the contract should conform TO
the bid as to the mode of service, he would say
that the spirit OF the new law was to govern.
In one case, where there were bids of 700 dol
lars, for single horse, and $50 for the same
grade of service, and another for 1400 dollars,
in post coaches, he gave the contract to the
bidder for the latter, on the pretended ground
that it would be done in a more satisfactory
manner in the latter mode This was a vio-
lation of the new law; but he could Justify him
self under the old. The new one does not
take effect, your readers will remember, until
the LIST of July.
The contracts are generally very low. The
whole of those for the state Of Maine, indepen-
IDENTITY of the Railroad service, have been taken
at thirty-two thousand dollars. Last year the
sum was sxty-eight thousand. 1t is believed
that in the aggregate the sum in New York
and New England will not exceed what has
been supposed before in your correspondence
that is one hall OF the old contracts.

RARE HIT.-Delaran House, albany
Eminent success seems ever TO attend Mr.
Delavan in his Cold Water enterprises. His
magnificent Hotel, five stories high, land extend
ing $50 feet on Broadway and two other streets,
is nearly completed In the course OF building,
pipes were extended to all parts OF the House,
with the expectation that sufficient water
might be obtained from the city water works.
But, disappointed in this source, Mr.. D.. re-
sorted to the experiment Of boring; and, by a
rare hit, at the depth of only twenty-five feet,
a stratum of coarse sand was struck, lfrom
which gushed up a spring Of the puresl soft
tcater, afording about 10000 gallons per day
which, by appropriate apparatus, is distribu-
ted through all parts Of the establishment.
The location of this House is admirable
being near the steamboat landing, and at the
junction of the various railroads. If well sus-
tanned by the public, (and who can doubt that
il will bei) it may be expected that similar
houses will soon be established in all our cities.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS OF
THE ADMINISTRATION.

We transfer to our columns to-day, from the
"Union" Of Monday night, two important articles in
relation to the scope and extent of the late military
movements in the southwest II will be perceived
that the destination Of the troops which have been
concentrated in that direction, the western from
tiers of Texas" in other words, the Rio Grandeall
the country between that river and the Nueces being
regarded part of Texas and as entitled as much
any other portion ofher territory protection against
the threatened hostile incursons of the Mexicans.
This disposes of any doubts that may have existed
as to the understanding on the part Of the United
States government in regard to the boundaries Of
Texas as the intention is avowed, in all that has
been done, not to step beyond the limits Of precau-
ton and defence, until the designs Of Mexico shall
have been moro fully developed to peace or war.
The "Union," some days since, stated what is no
doubt the understanding of our government as to
the boundary question.
II is well known, that whilst the Mexican govern
ment regards the Nueces the eastern boundary Of
her department of Tamaulipas, and embraces in her
claim the entire country between the Nueces and
the Rio Grande, Texas, on the other hand, claims,
and always has claimed, the Rio Grande as the
western boundary Of her territory. So the United
States government regards il; and hence, properly
embraces in the scope of is defensive all
that Texas, no doubt rightfii'ly, claims.
In this strictly defensive attitude our government
is prepared not only to protect Texas, but, in the
event of war, to act with efficiency and promptness,
and to bring the matter to a speedy close

The project Of the re-subjugation Of that country

1t is almost waste of words to controvert such
an absurd proposition; yet there may be some TO
believe it, if il is left to the common highway of

If Mexico had any valid claims upon Texas,
there would be some show Of propriety in the ale
