 o1R-ln answer to your letter of l2th inst nave the honor to state that in deciding on 'ne mall service for the State of Arkansas men goes into operation on 1st July next. I iound It necessary. from the pressing wants and demands of the citizens of that S,ata to ;no.oaa, the mall facilities, both in frequency of trips ana on some of the great through mail lines to raise the mode of service to higher grade than that at present under contract
 The service on the route from Ho,a,. ,;o Aoeraeeh to Little Rock has been increased from 'n'weekly four horse coaches to daily. The route from Napoleon via Pine Bluff to J.;tt,e Rock is continued tri-weekly in steam boats and four-horse coaches, as improved just be. fore the lettings.
 The service on the route from Little Rock via Washington to Clarksville, Texas. has been improved from tri-weeklv in tv O horse coacbes In part to daily in four horse coaches.
 inc route from Casters Landing, via Cam : den to Washington, has been improved from SIX times week, in two horse coaches to daily In four horse coaches
 The one of from Little Rock to Pocahontas via Batesville, from three times a week two horse coaches and part horse, to six times week, two horse coaches.
 The one from Des Arc, via Dardanelle to Ft smith, from twice week, horse, to tri-weeklv h four horse coaches.
 The service from Little Rock to Ft Smith Wa pittsburg had just been improved from fri :. weekly in two horse coaches, to six times q week, and this improvement is continued.
 The route from Ft. Smith to Favettevill. has been improved from six times week two hose coaches, to daily.
 The service on the route from Trenton, La. to Hot Springs Ark, via Camden and Rock port has been improved from tri.weeklv two horse coaches, and par horse, to six times a week, two horse coaches.
 Not wishing to be tedious by going into a detailed statement of the improved service for the whole State, l will remark in brief that me increased, additional number of miles Tor mall service on horse is 3l47, in coaches, IFS, and for steam boats, 37O.
 The great through mail routes for Arkansas nave been so arranged, that on lst July next Little Rock will receive daily mail except Sunday from St. Louis, Mo-, via the Iron moub- tan, Pocahontas and Batesvile and daily from Memphis, Tenn, via Helena and Aberdeen. and trl-weekly from Napoleon, via Pine Bluff; and 1 daily from San Antonio Texas via Austin, ClaFksville and Washington, Ark, and daily from Alexandria, via Shreveport and Washing ton.
 Fort Smith will also receive daily mail from St. Louis, Mo, via Jefferson city and Fav- sttevile, and mail six times week from Little Rock.
 You thus perceive that the great through mail routes for the State have been so arrang ed, that due and proper daily connections have been preserved with other great mail routes run ming through the adjoining States Hoping that this improved service in VOLT State for which her Senators and Representa- tves have labored SD asSduously, may prove satisfactory to your constituents.
