THE UTAH MAIL-CELEBRITIES.

In Yesterday paper We inadvertently represented
Mr. Brown who has just arrived from that Terri
tory, as having stated to that the mail By which
he came is probably the lsst Of the season on
accoun, o! tie depth of the ssnow on the noun
tains, &c. Mr.. Brownies remark was, that It Was
the last mail of the season which would convey
passengers, for hereafter it would probably be
packed from the South pass 10 Salt Lake CITY. so
fer from communication being interrupted with
Utah during the Winter, the contractors anticipate
accomplishing all their trps within u,e Their
line is thoroughly stockei and string of twenty
two stations has been established between ST. Joseph
and Salt Lake City, the intervals between whicn
average fifty miles in length. Drivers are furnished
st every station To convey the mail to the one next
beyond The route is psrtltioned into hanr great
divisions-the fist from St. Joseph to Fort hearaey;
the second, thence to Fort Laramie; the thrd, from
there to the upper crossing OF tue Sweetwsser and the
fourth tie remaining distance TO Salt Lake. 10 each
one of these road agent IL assigned, who supern-
tends all the stations aud the transit or the mall On
the western division tie services of tho most eNperen
ced taineeIs have been engaged 70 conduct the
mail across the mountains during the Winter. a now
road has recently been opesed from Fort Bridger to
salt Lake Vslley; through Provo or Timpanogas
Canon forty.fve miles south of Salt Lake City. Ii
will be remembered that this canon recommend
Cd by Capt. StaLsbury and Lieut.. Gunnson, as the
most practicable pass for Pacific Railroad through
the WahsGtch range tremains to be tested how deep
the will lie IT, as compared with the ND road
through Echo East, and Emigration Canons. If the
anticpations pitts engineers realized, 1t will SUI
per.ede the old road and become the main route into
the valley not only for the mails but also for all oher
travel.
II may not be- generally known that the quantity of
nail matter conveyed to Salt Lake averages from l3
TO Is sacks weekly. We informed that it the
same facilities granted to the route to California,
via Salt Lake City ard Placerville to its southern
neiphbor the mail could be transported over it with
equal if not superior, speed. As is, the subdivision
OF tho lne the contract from St. Joseph TO Salt Lake
City being held by Hoo kaday ~ Co., and that from
there to Pacervile by +. Chorpennng u Co. and the
refusal the President by his veto to shorten the con-
tract time drumming both divisions prohibit com
petition between and the Butered route by which
alone their relative merits could be tested. Add to
this the fact that the line via salt Lake Is reduced 10
mere local route, by being encumbered with large
newspaper mail, and will be- seen that dScrmina-
ton has been made in favor of sosthern ronte to the
Pacific. Messrs. Hockaday and Chorpennng have
no Lducement to their mails fsster than the con-
tract time, which is twenty-five days from St. Jo to
Salt Lake CITY, and sixteen days from there t. Placer
vile, making forty to San Francisco.
