California and Washington Territory Mail.
We have kept silent on this subject, says the
Times, at least two months, hoping that some at
tention would be paid to the many complaints made
by our citizens for the past four years. and by this
paper during the past twelve months, but We fear
IL Is all In vain. On the Sd Of August, 1854, a
bill passed Congress establishing mail route from
San Francisco 10 Crescent City via Humboldt Bay
and Trinidad, tri-monthly. In May, 1855, ten
months afterwards, the Postmaster General adyer-
tised for proposals for carrying the same in
steamers.
On the Sd of March, 1856 DR.. Gwin introduced
an amendment TO the Post Office Appropriation
bill, establishing postal route from San Francisco
via Humboldt bay, &C., to Washington Territory,
aud authorizing the Postmaster General to con
tract for sum not exceeding $4,000 per an
mum. Bids were sent on by responsible parties
offering to take the contract under the bill Of 1854
but we're told by the Postmaster General that a
contract would not be entered into, as the act OF
1855 rendered the other super6uous. No adver-
tisement soliciting proposals for the last-named
route has yet appeared, but, on the other hand il
has been publicly stated and never denied, that
the contract was awarded TO Henry Clay Mudd, a
lawyer of San Francisco, on the 9th OF March, and
that he has made overtures to sundry persons,
offering to give sixty thousand dollars per annum
for the performance of his contract
AT any rate, we have no mails and no prospect
of any. Who Is to blame for il? No one, save
William NJ Gwin, ex-senator. He could have had
mails here ten months ago, had it not been, not
that he hated this bay particularly, but that he
loved the Pacific Mail Steamship Company better
Will the voters of this country vote for man for
The Assembly who is in the least tinctured with
Gwinism? Will they not exact pledges from
candidate to oppose DR.. Gwin. if candidate for
the United States Senate? Proposals were adj
vertised for carrying the mails from Union to Big
Bar, and bids were forwarded to Washington agree
ing to perform the services at prices below re-
munerative rates., by some seven or eight persons
but no answer has been received by the parties
here.
1t is supposed that the head of the department
is too bus:ly engaged inrepeating his Ave Maries"
and "Pater Nosters,' to attend to such small mat
tiers as the postal service in California The CON
tracts go into operation on the first of August, and
the successful bidder has but three days in which
20 make his preparation, even If he had the infor-
nation Of the approval Of his contract. The Idcs
of November 1856, will tell another tale, by hurl-
ing the incompetent and corrupt set who are now
at the head ofgovernment from offce.-San Fran
cisco News.

sixteen Touring mills, with sixtyfour run Of stone,
capable Of manufacturing about ten thousand bar.

10 labored speech, to support the ticket, which
were hardly as strong as those made in primary
convention, TO support the Wing nominees for
State Senator two years ago After which pledges,
wonderful change came over the spirit Of his

REORGANIZATION OF THE AMERICAN Parry IN
GEoRGIA.-The American Convention of the
Eighth Congressional District, which assembled
at Augusta last week, adopted resolution APP
proving of the action of the various councils in
the State which had Invested themselves of Sc.
crecy and rituals, and recommending the subor-
dinate councils in the Eighth District to do the
same.
Similar action has already been taken by the
party in, Jefferson, Hancock, Warren and Ebert
counties and in other counties in the Seventh and
Eighth Districts.
In jefferson, the party endorsed the resolutions
which were adopted some two weeks since by the
several councils in Savannah. The same thing is
being done throughout Georgia.

NKw YoRK ELKcrIoS.--At the New York cleo
ton in November, the following Important Offices
are to be filed, viz those Of Comptroller Secre-
tary Of State, Treasurer, Canal Commissioner, and
Attorney General. Both branches Of the Legisla-
ture are also to be elected this year. The next
Senate will be required in 1857 to vote for an Uni
ted States Senator in place Of Gov. Fish, whose
term expires on the 4th Of March in that year.
The present State officers are Wings of the Sc
ward school, with the exception Of the Attorney
General, Ogden Hoffman, who may be styled an
Independent Wing
The American State Convention will assemble
ON the 25th. If its nominations are of the high
character which we have a right to expect, there
is every reason to believe the American party win
carry the State. For the proposed fusion of anti
Nebraska Wings and Democrats meets with little
favor from the masses of the people; and the
Hards and Softs already in the field with their
separate nominations.
With three or four other parties arrayed in OPP
position, it is not easy to perceive why the Ameri
party should not carry the State, provided its
members are not diverted from the main question
by side issues on Temperance, Abolitonism, and
other questions.

JoHN M. BERRIEs.--The Savannah Republican
of the 10th contains long and powerful letter from
the Hon. John NJ. Berrien, in favor Of the Ameri-
can party. It is, says the Republican, a power
full vindicaon Of the principles and objects of the
American party, and sweeps away, as with the
hand Of giant, the shallow sophistries and windy
objections Of pettifogging lawyers and peripatetic
stump speakers. The present position of Judge
Berrien, his eminent ability and long services, can
not but impart great weight to his counsels, and
commend them to the respectful consideration Of
the reader. He does not appear as partisan, nor
asprant to office, interested in the result Of
the election he addresses himself to the people OF
the State, and discusses the great questions in
vovcd with the ability Of the statesman and in the
spirit Of the patriot"
Judge Berrien's letter will be published in the
Organ tomorrow.
