A New Line to the EOrtn,

Our indetatgab!e fellow citizen, Edward L. Young
determined to give to city the benefit of the
first arrival of travellers from the North Having failed
in his efforts to get the Bay line steamers to touch at
Chamberaines wharf, he has been in correspondence
with the Delaware Rail Road Company and has OBJ
tanned from them the assurance that they will shortly put
q line of first class steamers between Norfolk and
SeafOrd, to until the steamers will stop there.
Capt. Young informs us that Seaiord is the present
Southern terminus OF the Delaware r. R., though the
Road is progressing rapidly towards Annemesc the

would be between four and FIVE hours. The company
has recently arranged for the removal of the Vienna
bridge over the Nantcoke, and is now dredging away

to large steamboats,

The Post Office Departmental Saving of Eight Hum-
bred Thousand Dollars O a Single Contract.
The Washington correspondent Of the Journal of
Commerce. in his letter of the 9th inst, says:
Measures have been taken by the department towards
such reform of the postal system and such reduction
sustaining Cor nearly the public interest may
require. All that will be necessary to this end in future
will be for Congress to to interfere in the admins
traton of the Post Office department, by making
VACANT contracts under the influence and in the interest
Of the lobby.
The department received yesterday that the
johnson contract for the transportation of the mails by
the Nicaragua route between New York and San Fran
cisco, and between New Orleans 10y the way of Key
Vest and San Francisco, would be executed Such
is the magnitude OF this service that the Postmaster
General bad made provisions for its uninterrupted per-
Torrance, in of the failure of Mr. johnson per-
form it. But it now appears that the contractor will
be ready to take the mails and the service On
the 5th of October. Nicaragua had interpoSed some
obstacles but they have been entirely removed is well
known to this Government. Whether those associated
with the mail contractor Mr. Johnson, will be able to
transport freight and passengers by the route is not
known here The Post Office Department has nothing
to do with that matter and can only control the mail
contract.
The saving made to the depart by this contract
will be about eight hundred thousand dollars YEAR
The expense of transporting the mails by Tehuanepec
has been two hundred and fifty thousand dollars year
between New York and the Panama Isthmus two hun
dred and ninety thousand dollars year over the 18TH
mus one hundred thousand dollars, and on the Pacific
side three hundred and oryeght thousand two hundred
and fifty dollars. This entire service is to be performed
by way of the Nicaragua transit for about hundred
and sixteen thousand dollars year If all contracts
for postal service be left by Congress to the discretion
of the department. instead of the interest Of the lobby
the service will be as well performed and at vastly less
rate.
