THE MAIL - The new mail arrangement, +
which has beenseo tardy in taking effect, may l
,ow, We feel safe in saying, be regarded as al
Z fixed fact During the present week the
hree New Orleans and Fickabprg packets have
brought US our mails from the city and landed
hem in front Of our Post office. There exists,
however, an irregularity, in their falling to
and on their downward trip the Vicksburg
nail, and to receive the one from this polnt for
New Orleans, which will be renedied, we pre-
,ume, so soon as the attention Of the contractors
s called to it, After being cursed with most |
mail system for the past five or six |
years, this admirable change and present ar
,angement will be most Heartily appreciated by |
