LONG CREEK Sept. 18th, 1851.
Dir. Editor: Your enterprising spirit in starting
= Daily Journal deserves much praise; and should
not only be well sustained by the public, but ought
likewise to induce corresponding exertions by The peo
pie oincrease their mail facilities. Our State general
ly is deficient in proper mail arrangements and New
Hanover county especially, is much deficient in this
respect Reform is wanting The spirit of the times
and the liberal, enterprisng character of the i'm
proved and improving town of Wilmington not only
calls for trweekly and daily issues but also appeals
to our citizens generally to move in the matter of
mail improvement. Our very excellent representa-
tive, Mr.. AsHE. ever faithful to the interest of his
constituents has been of great service to his district
in securing additional mail facilities and uniform
y manifests desire to do still more so need not
doubt his full cooperation and support in this in
other efforts for the public good
Here at Long Creek, only twenty miles from Will
mington, we have but mail week from the lat
ter place. And yet we are in but few miles of the
rairoad--near enough to hear Of calm morning,
the shrill whistle of the engine and the laundering
notes of the train She like g thing of life, rolls
in majestic grandeur swiftly along beautifully en-
bematic in the whole of the onward progress of the
age. sem-weekly, if not tri-weekly mail is nee
| ueU from wilmington Via Long creek; beatty S
Bridge Black River Chapel, to Harrell's store, at
each of which there is a Post Office. The interest
of our thriving little village we'll that of the
whole of this interior region, require it. The peo-
pie desire it, and every consideration of good policy
demands it. Now you may inquire, how can this
reform be obtained! We will answer, and in doing
So address ourselves mainly to the citizens of the
above named districts. There is now post Office on
the railroad named Cypress Grove in Rocky Point dis
trict, only ten miles from this place Now, from
Long Creek it is twenty miles to Wilmington with
out single box post office within this distance
Why not change the route of the Long Creek mail
and let it intersect the Wilmington mail at Cypress
Grove post Office shortening the distance ten miles
to and fro! This point can be very easily reached
by the mail on horseback as now carried on plain
ighborhood road. Efforts, however, are being made
to improve and covert this into good public road ;
and if citizens, combining with those of Rocky
Point, will come heartily to the needed work, can
soon construct it at cost comparatively trifing to
the advantages to be derived This proposed arrange
ment will not only increase the general reading ia
cilites of the people, but in my opinion the increas-
ed arising therefrom, will justify the Post
Office Department in making the change.
Now, fellow-citizens. of Rocky Point, Long Greek,
Beattys Bridge Black River Chapel, Harrelrs Store
and Aldermans post Office, what say you all to the
proposed change! VOX.
