oUr MAILS AaAIs.-we received

OUR MAILS AaAfE.-We received q
mail from ChiIhcothe on Tuesday week
and another on Saturday night last,
neither of which reached here on the
day they were due, besides one mail fail
ing to reach us entirery. The mail con-
tractor on the Chilhcothe route seems
determined to punish the citizens OF this
place, and at the same time pocket a
little from Uncle Sam, for money saved,
according to the old adage, is money
earned. We venture the assertion that
there is not another mail route Of equal
importance in the United States where
such repeated and continued failures OF
the contractor to furnish the mail would
not result in the interference of the de-
partment to promptly remedy the evil,
either by declaring the contract forfeited,
or by compelling the delinquent to OBJ
serve his contract. Week after week,
and year after year, these failures have
been repeated, till they have become a
matter of course with this contractor.
Not for three weeks has the mail
reached, nor left here on the contracted
day, end often it has failed altogether.
For all the convenience it has been to
our citizens, the contract for carrying
the mail might have been limited to the
summer months. The contractor seems
confident he can outrage public opinion
and put it at defiance, especially since
the editor of the Jackson Standard has
consented to play the blackguard at his
bidding. If that sheet thinks it profta-
BE investment to indulge in low person
alities towards us, and should find it
pleasant employment, we have no objec-
ton, but hardly think it will convince
the public along the route, or the De
partment at Washington, that every
little shower is sufficient excuse for q
violation of the mail contract.

MEXICAN NKws-The steamer Texas,
with Vera Cruz dates to the 9th, and
Mexico to the 4th, arrived at New Or
leans on the 10th inst. The Delta had q
letter stating that the Tehuantepec road
was formally commenced on the 3Oth Of
January. The door and window tar
has been established at Mexico. The
correspondence of Count Raoussal Boul-
bon has been interpreted and published,
showing an extensive conspiracy for
revoluionizing Sonora, Lower Califor-
MIA. Large bodies of men have been
seen marching thither from San Francis
co. The Conducta arrived at Vera
Cruz with two millions of silver, mostly
taken by the English steamer Bark
Lady. The Suffolk sailed for Yucatan
with several hundred troops for the In
dian war. Among the passengers was
Mr.. Spafford, bearer of dispatches to
Washington.

VReruA Board OF PUBIIo Nasxs-I
RAIIHoAD CoszzcrIoSs.-The follo,;no
Is an abstract from the last report of tis
Board Of Public Works of Virginia
1t viii present the opinion Of the Board
on the question Of the proposed branch
down the Kanawha to its mouth.
The mouth of Big Sandy river has
been selected as the western terminus of
this road. No one, as the Board be-
lieve, is now disposed to move for q
change of that decision. There are
many, however, and among them some
of our most intelligent and extensively
informed citizens, who believe there
exists a pressing present necessity for
the construction of stem from the
point of divergence from the Kanawha
river, down that stream to its mouth in
Mason county, opposite the town Of
Gallipolis in the State of Ohio. A
glance at the map of Improvements in
this and adjoining States, it would seem
to the Board, ought to satisfy every
candid mind as to the absolute necessity
for a connection, sooner or later, be-
tween the Covington and Ohio railroad
and the great Improvements leading
through the heart Of Ohio and other
States, west, whose teeming products
must pass along her thoroughfares in
quest of an eastern market, which mar
ket, for some months in each year, can
be reached with more facility through
Virginia than any more northern State.
This may be considered a question mere
ly as time, admitting that this stem
ought to, and ultimately viii. be made;
but, Ike most other questions of that
character, it is more than probable that
the present viii be found to be the most
acceptable and propitious time. The
enormous products of western growth
demand an outlet to market; and when
we consider their character and the
pressing necessity for their speedy and
regular transmission to the great mar
kets of the world, we cannot but be i'm
pressed with the fact that this demand
must be promptly and Immediately met
by Virginia, or some other more ener-
getic and enterprising rival will snatch
the palm. The completion of this i'm
prOvement as herein suggested, will
bring Cincinnati nearer to Richmond
than to Baltimore, and inevitably make
Kentucky and Ohio, and their cotermi-
nous States, the interested but mighty
and unfailing tributaries to the wealth
and commerce of Virginia. 1t is moi
necessary, however, in this report, tc
pursue the subject; and, therefore, it i:
cheerfully submitted to the wisdom o
the legislature.

A REMARKABLE MANA New York
letter to the Mobile Tribune says:

There is remarkable man connected
with the custom house here-a Span
lard. His business is to receive the
test money. He will pour the con-
tents of an immense bag of gold and
silver coin into the scale-for it is
weighed, not counted-and in a thrice
announce the amount in dollars and
cents. Then running his fingers through
the shining pieces and applying his nose
to them, Immediately takes out every
counterfeit coin. He has never been
known to make mistake in pronoun-
cling money good or bad; and his infalli-
bic instinct for detecting the spurious
metal, is located in his olactory organs.

k~We are under obligations to Sen.

Hwe are under obligations to SEN
stor DoueLAss for copy of his letter
to the Governor Of Illinois, on that
Senator's plan for the Improvement OF
rivers and harbors. The plan is to
raise the necessary funds for such inn
provement BY tonnage duty, collected
under the authority of State, or dis
trict composed of several States, and
that the general Government shall have
nothing to do with such Improvements.
We can only state now that we believe
the proposed plan to be uncOnstitutiOn-
al, unjust and burdensome towards the
West-a plan that cannot be carried
into successful operation-a plan dan
gerous and mischievous in the extreme.

TIE 22ND OF FKBRUARY.-To-day
{ Wednesday, is the anniversary of the
Father Of his Country. a period that
should swell the bosom of every true
American. This anniversary of all
others should be kept green in the
memory. The time-worn Revolution
aries are dropping of, one by one, and
the time is not far distant when the no.
bic deeds of the illustrious Washington
will be narrated no longer by living
monuments. But can the memory of
such a man die? Never, while the
blood courses in the veins of American
patriots.

SIX MEN Nor A JURY.-The Supreme
Court have decided that part of the

is but one of numberless blunders made
By the last Legislature in tinkering with

the present Legislature opposed to th'
appointment of Commissioners to re
wise the criminal practice. judging
from the past, they would only max
It worse.

this extension will now be authorized to
be made; its commencement to depend
on the action of the Board of Public
Works; that board being authorized to
begin its construction, whenever in their
opinion the interests of the State require
it. The opinion of this Board is such
that the road will be begun at an early
day, if the legislature shall authorize its
construction.
Such then is the present position of
these questions. A few weeks how
ever will disclose the action had upon
them, since the session will come to a
close in the course of twenty days or
less. But whaterer that action may
now be, the people of Ohio may without
hesitation act upon the assumption that
this extension will be completed as soon
as the Covington and Ohio Railroad can
be passed onward through the mountains
so as to meet the line being pressed for
ward from the Sandy termination to the
Kanawha river and up that to the noun
tain barrier.
! This line of road, when completed,
will be one Of the most important in the
United States. think it will be found
to be the cheapest freight route from
! Cincinnati 10 New York; and of course
much the cheapest from Cincinnati tc
tide water and a port for foreign ship
ment at Norfolk.
