TIE SOUTHWESTERN MAIL TO VIEW ORLEANS.

The New Orleans papersare calling attention to the delay
of the mail to New Orleans from the North carried ON
this route. 1t appears that twelve hours detention
ouB at Goodmans station in Mississippi making really
the difference of business day in the receipt of tho mails
The mail forwarded by this route leaves New York in the
morning and Washington city the same evening. The
Picayune suggests that the mail leaving New York in the
evening and Washington the following morning should
be despatched by this route which, reaching Goodmans
twelve hours later would arrive at New Olcasa the
hour the morning mail from New York now doeaa We
take the liberty of submitting this suggestion to the Post
mater General who alive to the interests and
venience of tho people in the rapid and regular transmits
sion Of the mails remaring at the time that the
proposed change would probably be acceptable both in
New York and Washington From the former city, the
through mail would leave Immediately upon the close of
the business day. while the morning mail would best suit
the correspondents and press of Washington Between
New York and Washington, the change would not be
felt This city is the point of divergence of the two
great lines to the South and the change could be made
by simply sending the evening mail from the North by the
Potomac route and the morning mail by the Alexandria
route We take it for granted that such change of the
through schedule the Southwestern route might be OBJ
tanned as to accomplish tho object desired.
