ration Of the late change effected by order of the Post
Master General, in the transportation of the Northern
mail hther, via Charlottesville instead Of Richmond
1t is true, he has given to citizens quite half If
what they asked in their memorial and yet has greatly
improved our facilities. He has given us three mails
per week by Charlottesville and allowed the other three
to come. as formerly, by Farmville Or to speak
correctly the still paid for bringing them
by the Farmvile route, though in point Of fact, all the
mails from Washington and North Of that city come by
Charlottesville We are thus reduced from SIX to three
Northern mails per week, and yet situation is better
than it before the eductlon-a fact from which
former accommodation may be inferred II is utterly
peposerous to suppose that citizens will be cona1c
with this half way measure. They will denandNiebt
all the mails be via Charlot,esyile-and ought 10
