fTIlE ADVERTISEMENT WITH THE ABOVE
L heading, signed by WadswOrth & Meisegaes, Is
such mixture OF truth aud fiction that no honest
motive could possibly have caused It's publication.
" The Brokers for their principals" state that the
mail contract was assigned to NJ Louisson Co. by
J. & NJ. Phelan. July l6, 1857, aud the assignment
acknowledged by the p. o. Department, which is all
false. Plainly stated, an assignment was made TO J.
NJ. Phelan for money loaned, which assignment was
acknowledgment by the P. NJ. General, md that one
and that only toas acknowledged. The Post Master
General has the affidavit Of J. s. NJ Phelan in which
they state they have claims whatever on the con
tract, and have not made any assignment to N. Lou
sson Co. or any body else, and that their name has
been used without their knowledge or authority. As
for drafts being drawn by Hunt Scranton on the p.
.. Department, II would amount to nothing u they
were as It Is not in that way government usually dis
burses moneys We do not fear but that the money
will reach the proper hands, even without the endorse
meat OF J. NJ. Phelan, or any other than oar own.
The mail contract No. 1880 will be fully complied
with, and the mail carried regularly as the means
at present at our command will permit Arrnnge-
ments have been made for steamer for the Sound TO
leave san Francisco the 22d inst. After her arri-
val the travelling public will have ample accommoda-
tion without the assistance Of the Consultation or
