The postmaster at New Orleans would confer
a favor Oh our citizens, ii he will hereafter des-
patch, by the Natchez packets, the Shreveport
mail TO the mouth OF Red River, and order it
to be forwarded from that point on the coaches.
Owing TO the low stage Of water it is useless to
send any mail by the Red River steamboats,,
as an evidence of which we have merely to re-
cord the fact, that the latest letters received at
our post oficc from New Orleans bear the post
mark of July 9''-while we have received by
private hand papers from that city to the goth
inclusive, and advices from Europe to the 9Th.
We some weeks ago wrote to the postmaster
general on this subject, and trust that he has
issued the necessary instructions. The stages
ATE now regularly making triweekly trips from
this place TO the mouth of the river, but no mail
is made up in New Orleans for the route

The raftsmcn of the HARVEST are getting too
keen for Uncle Sans agents and officers. On
the 10th ult, at Sank Rapids, an immense num-
Der of saw logs, containing thirty millions
eight hundred and fifty thousand feet of tim
Der, which had been cut down on government
land by a party of squatter raftsment, were
seized by the T.. S. marshal and advertised to
be sold at auction. The raftsmen formed a
combination with the lumbermen; by which the
latter agreed not to bid. At the sale the mar
shall announced that the logs had been apprais
ed, and that he would take no bid less than
twelve cents per 1000 feet. The lumbermen
did not bid, and in consequence there was no
sale The marshal then rcofered the logs for
whatever they might bring, and one Of the RATS
men, who had been chosen for the purpose by
his comrades, bid one cent per thousand feet,
and as no one would offer an advance, they were
knocked down" to the FIRST, last and solitary
bidder Thus 5,85o,O0o feet of first class tim
Der were sold for 1913 so, and thus the U. S.
timber agent was "dene for" The proceeds
Of sale were hardly sufficient to deiray the costs
