Thr Poa Maslrr General


Dir. KlLpoURN
The citizens OF this State who have here.
irlore enjoyed the mail facilities fnrnishedby
the HouSatOnic Railroad, are becoming
Spmewhat inquisiiive on the subject IF the
eseni suspension ofthoSe accommodations.
] they could be satisfied that those facilities
would be restored when transportation on the
Road is resumed, their uneaSiness would be
q iicted but il is understood that complete
rupture has taken place between the Com
pany and The Department, and that no con-
tract now exists for carrying the mail sin
gle day hereafter. 1t may he that the Post
Master General is a Lard man. His courS
relative to the present Post Office law is
certainly anything hut favorable TO its fair
operat ON but our citizens are beginning
to inquire whether the Directors of the Rail-
road Company do not, under all the circum-
stances of the case, make too heavy demands
upon the Department for carrying the mail.
The public has conferred upon the Company
the entire monopoly OF transportion, both in
regard to passengers and freight, through
the whole route of the Road. No person
can bid for the mail with the expectation
of making anything by carrying passengers.
They also we'll know that the Company can
carry the mail with very little if any extra
expense, and yet it is understood that they
ask nearly as much for the service as they
would if compelled to run an engine for this
sole purpose. If this is SO, it certainly does
The last section of the Charter of the Com
pany provides that it may be "aAered, amend
ed or repealed at the pleasure of the General
Assembly," The Legislature of the State
of New York, at its last session, altered the
Charter of one of the Companies in that
State, compelling ii to carry the mail at
rates prescribed in the late Post Office law.
Perhaps it would be we'll for the Directors
of our Railroad Company to consider fur
Their of their determination in this matter.
The mail must al all euemS be transported
over their Road, and if the facilities afford
ed by such regulation are meant to be sus-
pended, the public will naturally ask wheth-
er further legislation may not be necessary
10 compel them to yield to so reasonable a
compliance with their demands.

TFor several days past rumors have
been afoatin our village that mullato wo-
man, who until recently has resided here,
had been killed by man in Woodbury.
We have not been able to trace the story to
any authentic source, and we conclude that
it has at least been greatly overrated. The
woman in question was in our village on
Monday of last week, in company with two
or three other colored women, driving furl-
ously about in wagon-the horse bearing
evidenc. having been most cruelty beaten
and ovcr-driven; and her brutality to the
animal was so apparent in the South Fa rim
that she was compelled to halt and give him
time for rest. On reaching Woodbury. on
her return, she was met by the owner of the
horse-when the affiay is said to have oc-
Cured, in which she was doubtless severely
handled, though not tilled. She is a des-
peratc character.

stock of eIectioneering capital. Well
Mr.. Dunning started out on an election

raised company, was elected captain,
and marched it 10 camp il, New Albany.
Shortly after Mr. Dunning came along
that way, and Captain s. getting an eye
on him ordered him into the ranks, and
set sergeant to drilling him to make up
for lost time. Here was a bad snap tor

To 'craw fish out would insure contempt,

heard from the poor fellow, his friends
were circulating a petition in camp to the
Governor, or Gen. Wool, to reprieve him.
