The MNLs.-The mail from the East
due on Sunday night, did not arrive unit
Monday evening, and then brought nothing
from beyond Little Rock. The failure be.
yond that place, was caused. the Dem.
oerat states, by one of the mail boats on the
Arkansas running aground. The important
and much desired change now in con,enpla.
tion, between Little Rock and Napoleon. by
which the mail will be transported three
tunes u week via White river, will add great.
ly to our facilities Of communication with
the East and South, and relieve US from the
sole reliance upon the uncertain navigation
of the Arkansas.
In connection with this salutary arrange
meni, a change in the mode Of conveyance
between this place and Little Rock from
two to four horse coach service, is also in
contemplation, This is another improve.
ment in our mail arrangements, which the
public ooGyeniepcc las long required. Al.
though the weight Of the mail, by the rcgu.
laiions Of the department may moi require
four-horse service the condition Of our roads
renders this mode of conveyance indispen.
ably necessary. Two horses are unable to
draw on such roads as we have, stages Of suf.
fcient strength to stand the rough usage, and
the mails which are every day increasing.
would be greatly expedited by the proposed
change. The condition Of our roads as
well as the weight Of the mails, should be
considered, and when this 10 done, we think
the Department will agree with Us. that four.
horse service from Little Rock to this place
is necessary to facilitate the transmission
Of the mail, aud that the public conve.
niencc would be greatly promoted by the
change.
