Our Correspondents.

We lay before our readers this week
another interesting letter from our valued
correspondent T. L. Cuyler, G.. W. P, of
New Jersey. The brother will have seen
ere this that his "Carrier Pigeon let forth
into the,driving Storm" found his way
safely to our sanctum. The message came
to hand just as our paper was going to press
and we were compelled to defer its insertion
a week. The same is the case in reference to
the letter in this number. Our readers will
agree with US that such communications are
always fresh and interesting, however long
delayed.
We are in the receipt of several anOny-
nous letters which We cannot publish.
The public acts of public men are proper
topics for animadversion, but the assailant
if he would use our columns must come out
like man, over his own signature or al
least furnish it to US, that we may know by
what authority we speak.

John 3. Cough.

This distinguished advocate of Temper.
ance arrived in our city on Tuesday morn
ing, and addressed large and attentive
audience the same evening. Although but
a short notice was given, the house was
crowded from pit to dome, a large number
being ladies. He was received with un-
bounded applause. Cough is an eloquent
and consistent advocate of Temperance, and
the people of the Queen City honor him,
and will always receive him with open
arms and full houses.
Having appointments to fill in other
counties of the State, he left the city on
Tuesday morning, but will return on Mon
day next. We hope our citizens will turn
out en- masse, and give the eloquent Gougl
a warm reception.

sympathy for Farmers.

In the coarse of our travels through the
State, endeavoring to urge upon the people
the importance of securing and enforcing a
law of prohibition, we have been amused
at the very general sympathy among the
friends of liquor for the interests of Agri-
culture. In every county town there are
pettifogging lawyers who really care moth
ing for farmers except to get them into petty
law suits, that they may ilch from them
their hard earnings, who are afraid that
corn will be deprecated in price and that
the dear tillers of the soil will go unre-
warded if distillers are demolished. We
never have found needy farmer who was
troubled on this account. Ordinarily they
are too well informed to believe that their
success in business depends upon the num-
Der of barrels of whiskey made, and sold,
and drank-the number of paupers, and
criminals, handed over to the pOOr-houses
and prisons. Demagogues and liquor sell

RIVER MAIL BETWEEN LOUISVILLE AND ST..
LOUISA private despatch received /yester
day from Washington, dated the lst inst, in
forms us that the Post Master General has re-
solved to establish daily mail ria the rivey
between Louisville and this place. Il is
contamination which we have long and most
anxiously waited for. There are seasons of the
year when the Eastern mail can be carried
through in much less time by the river than by
land; but when the roads are good and the
streams low, the Eastern mail can be trans
ported in less time and with more certainty
overland than by the rivers. The time when
the land or river mail should be EMPLOYED for
the transportion Of the Eastern mails ought to
be left 10 the discretion and information Of the
Post Masters at the ends Of the route.
But aside from the Eastern Mail, there ia A
river mail derived from the towns and important
points on the banks Of the rivers, that reuuires
this increase Of facility. There arc many i'm.
portant places between Louisville and St.
Louis which under previous arrangements
were either dependent on transient opDortuni-
ties, or subject to many delays in seudingOr re-
ceiving communications. This diffienlty we
trust will now be removed.
