IL Is, perhaps, due to myself, as well as TO those
friends who may read this reply and who may have
considered it, unnecessary that ! should make any
statement IN vindicaton of myself against calumnes
too foul to be believed by any who know me, that

Tor the benefit OF those who may not know me per-
sonaly and who having read heard of the charges
contained in the National Police Gazette might con-

those charges. 1t IL easy for bad and vindictive

tractors Messrs. Buttereld Co.. have examined the

it will supersede the San Antonio line between the
Rio Grande and Colorado rivers, but leave it in full
operation on the balance of the route.
" 3. To give similar mail and travelling facilities,
the Hon. A. V. Brown, Postmaster General, estab-
lished another great overland route and to be run
weekly, to accommodate the Northwestern States
and Territories, above St. Louis, from St. Josephs,
the Missouri, to Salt Lake, and from Salt Lake
through Carson Valley to Placerville-thus pene-
tra'ng California in her most populous region and
furnishing an emigrant route Of the highest import

east, and Chorpernng the west, give assurances,
by their experience and ample means, that this
great route will be speedily and successfully carried
into effect So soon as the roads can be improved,
and actual experience shall show within what time
the service can be performed, the time will, no
doubt, be reduced to the very shortest that 1t can
