New Mail Arrangement between New York
and New Orleans.

We present to our readers full and perfect
schedules of the increased and expedited mail
service between New York and New Orleans,
which is to go into operation on the first day of
March next.
In accordance with the spirit of the age, and
desiring to subserve the interests and wishes
OF the great business communities, both North
and South, the Postmaster General has mate
rally decreased his expenditures for mail trans.
portation, by expediting the great mails, when
going South, from New York to New Orleans,
tioenty four hours, and saving no less than forty
hours time on the return from New Orleans to
New York
This is, doubtless, the best arrangement ever
effected for the mail service along our extended
seaboard, bringing, as it will, the extreme
southern port Of New Orleans forty hours nearer
to the great commercial city of New York, be-
sides atfordng numerous additional facilities to
many intermediate offices, and incidental advant-
ages to points in the interior, remote from the
main routes.
This arrangement will secure to the people
immense facilities in their correspondence.
The Northern terminus of this line is New
York, but railroad and steamboat companies
between that point and Boston, and even fur
Their North, will honorably compete for the
such close connexion with the expedited SEIZED
ules, that they may derive all the advantages to
be obtained by the rapid rate oftravel now pro.
vided through to New Orleans.
