ROCkROE AND NAPOLEON MAIL
 ROUTE.

We published an article last week from the Arkansas lntelligencer, in relation to the contractors on the abovc' route, MEssRs HowEL, SvAPP & Go, which we are sensi ble from reflection will admit of an uuiayor- able construction being put upon il, and without correction, used 10 the prejudice of the worthy and efficient contractors on the line.
 We therefore, avail ourself of the first oc- casion to correct the false impression that the article in question may have produced upon the public mind against the conttac- tors, and as we consider 1t but sheer justice to them that 1t should be made Al the time we copied the article into our columns, we intended to accompany II with an explana- .ion, which we thought proper to prevent preiudice--not 10 create it in the mind of any Persons in the adjoining States, or elsewhere, who may have occasion to visit Arkansas by the Reekres and .Aapoleos Sage aad Steam- Boai line of .Nessrs Ho,c- q, Saapp Sr Co, nsay rest assured Aat ihey riIi meet riM Kind aitsation from he &C., eoatssodaiiag and efficient conductors on his Jiae. The contractors en this route, are pFacticai business men, having been engaged in carrying the U. S. Mail in Arkansas, for come six or eight years. Four years of this period they were. the contractors on the Soathern Mail route. between Little Rock and Washington, and also, connected with sisis route, one to the Hot Springs.

ORIGINAL PoErRl

ar What very responsible and remark a5te man, is Wm. E. Woodruff We have heard i. stated, and have never seen denial of 1t, that he once, not great while since. made his boast, that he had reached thai apoint tn life, which it was impossible to make one cent out of him at law Yet he is always saying something about the res possibility oG others. lt would be well for him to look to his own affairs, and see that shey ale in healthy and sound state--be- fore making an attack on others of far more merit than himself
 But>ihe idea that Woodruff is either re- niarkahleSor responsible, is certainly stran- ger doctrine to preach in this community. l, would be just as far from the true state of things, as t would be to say that he was the writer of the editorials that appear in his paper, and compelled to own and father by his great master, the ''taitnsed and digaiGed."
 When Woodruff is known at.a distance, as well as he is at home, neither hls writing nor that of his master would create any more sympathy or attention from lhe public, than would hilloek at the foot of the eter- nal Andes, be admired by the beholder of the granI and sublime scenery upon the snow capped mountain above him.

It speaks for itself IL was written without a1y intention of its going to the public eye-but il has hit the diS9rgdH- isers and factoiams here SO well, belonging to the Ashley and Woodrsfi' faction, that We think the writer will readily excuse us for publishing it.
