service to California. We have heretofore
given the outlines Of that contract, with a
description OF the route, and have expressed
the conviction that the parties who have
taken the contract will faithfully execute it.
They are to receive s60O,0 900 per annum for
carrying the mails twice week from st.
Louis and Memphis on the Mississippi river
By way of Little Rock, Ark, Preston, Texas
and Fort Fillmore, on the Rio Grande, to
San Francisco. and back each way in twen-
ty.fve days. The service begins on the
10th of September, 1858, and continues for
six years.
The report attest the infusion Of vigor and
energy into all the operations Of the Depart
ment. The extension Of the mail service, the
greater dispatch provided for and in cOntem-
pation on most OF the great routes, the pro-
vision for increased security to the mails, the
multiplication of increased facilities for the
delivery Of city letters, the overland Cali
fornia service, all these are objects whose full
flment must conduce greatly to promote the
public convenience and interests The fdel
ity and zeal Of the Department commend it
to the confidence OF the people.
