We observe complaint in the "McMnnville Ga
zette," that the days on which the mails are trans
ported between Nashville and that place do not sui,
the publication days of the Nashville papers. We
learn that the Post Office Department. when arrang-
ing its schedules, was not aware of the days Of pub
LEGATION Of the newspapers referred to, and that the
departures and arrivals adjusted with view
to make close connexions with the Louisville mails
and give greater expedition to matter for Murfees.
boro', McMinnvilIe, and the points beyond. We
learn, further, that these arrangements will be re.
viewed so as to give to the citizens interested the
best accommodation possible. And if the due re.
ceipt of the Nashville papers be more important
than the early arrival of the mails, they will be
changed, we satisfied, SO as best to serve the
public.

Sir: | transmit herewith, for your information
and government, copy Of an act of Congress, APP
proved the Sd August, 1946, "To exempt coffee i'm
ported from the Netherlands from duty in certain
cases, and for other purposes"
The hrst section, you will perceive, authorizes
the free admission, after the passage Of the act, OF
coffee, the production growth Of the colonies or
dependencies OF the Netherlands, imported from the
Netherlands, either in Dutch or American YES
sells.
By the second section, "the Secretary of the
Treasury is authorized and required to refund and
pay out of any money in the treasury not otherwise
appropriated, TO the several persons parties en-
titled TO the same, the amount of duties levied and
collected upon the mportatlOns of coffee in American

THE OAK OF cUsTIs's SPRING.
BT JESSE \. DOW.

Old tree, whose fostering arms have spread
Three hundred years DER Gusts spring,
The red deer off has laid his head
Beside thee in his wanderngi
And in thy branches many bird
Has reared her young, and babe them sing
The sweetest lay the woods e'er heard,
Above that wild, enchanting spring
Well hast thou guarded from thy youth
The crystal iount that flowed from thee,
Like the stern guardian Of truth,
Where wells her waters silently;
And beauty Oft, beneath thy shade,
la summer bright and autumn sere,
Hath tripped II lightly DER the glade,
And left bright remembrance there.
The wood duck high has made her nest,
And there the bitterns cry Is heard;
And when the sun dsscends the west,
In sweetness sings the mocking bird
The hrehy lights the sylvan dell
And marks the lesping surgeons courss;
And round the margin OF the well
The night hawk screams her warning hoaTse
The MOSS ROSE blushing from her nook
Peeps out to catch the falling dew;
The LILY stoops to kiss the brook,
And uoLETs close their eyes Of blue.
The rank HIBISCUS folds her lowers
No more the wild bee murmurs there;
The bold 0LEhATIs humber towers,
And scarlet CARDINALS bend in prayer
v.
oh! IL is good TO see thee now,
Thy old trunk worn and rent by age
Below thy broken roots to bow,
And drink the red mans beverage;
And drawer still 10 see the one
Who sits beside thy ancient we'll
The last, the loved oil Washington,
Who fought where many a hero fell.
Old Time has gently dealt by all
The tree, the spring, the veteran hale;
And long may leaves put forth and fall
Before he chants their funeral wall.
And when the summers scorching wind
Steals DER the brow like Aries breath,
oh, may we leave the world behind,
And haste to thee, from dust and death.
