The New Mail Route.

We have no doubt that vigorous efforts
will be made to supersede the old Southern,
and the new South Western mail route,
through this city, with the new Florida ex-
pedient; but they must prove unsuccessful,
it the Department shall look to speed and
certainty in the transmission of the mails
That the route, via. the Florida coast-the
most dangerous i'll the whole country, and
the most unreliable in certain seasons Vt the
year-is to rival, successfully, the land route,
via the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, is
not TO be anticipated. We understand that,
even now, the South Western route can be
traversed in one day less then is required by
its old competitor, and when We shall have
direct connection with Washington, via. the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad, we can
safely defy all competition: We only ask
fair play, and decision of the question upon
its merits, without the aid OF semi official
authority" to oppose our Interests aud the
yeai interests Of all who are concerned, III

The Drought.

The people of portions of the West are
suffering at the present time serious incon-
yenience and loss from drought. In por-
tons Of Kentucky where the soil is based
upon lime stone rocks from one to three feet
below the surface the bluegrass pastures,
ordinarily so green and luxuriant, have
turned to a dull brown color and would burn
as READILY as trostbtten grass.
In Indiana and Illinois the drought has
affected several counties seriously, but 1t APP
pears that rains of late have fallen in some
Of them pretty copiously, )" that as much
damage is not likely to be felt as has already
been suffered in Kentucky
In Maryland and Virginia, some counties
are already seriously affected. We see 1t
stated that some corn fields have been given
IN Ia stock, the owners despairng to make
a crop. The counties most seriously injured
appear to be Montgomery, in Maryland and
Alexandria aud Fairfax, in Virginia, all
near the Potun,ac, in the vicinity Of Wash
ipptuu city.-HaH american.

From Barbados.

A Barbadoes correspondent, writing on
the llth OF July says The excitement
which existed in the breadstut and provi-
sion market some time since. caused by news
OF an advance in the United States, the war
iu Europe, and spectators coming into mar
ket, has entirely subsidized, and the market
is at stand. The stock of meal aud -four
is adequate to the demand, but mostly in
the hands of spectators. There is no de-
mand for white pine lumber. The last sale
was at sis 10 for superior cargo OF Ban
gor, but this price cannot now be obtained.
A considerable quantity of sugar still re-
mains for shipment, and few estates have
not yet finished grinding. Owing to tavora-
BILE weather for reaping, the crop will be
much larger than anticipated at an early
day-say $4,000 to 10000 hhds. A few
sales are being made at S3,50(a 3,25, as to
quality, but the demand is very limited
Molasses was in active demand ten days since
at l8 cents The weather is varied, with
alternate showers and sun, and the prospect
for one Of the largest crops ever reaped could
not be more fattering. The health CT the
island was never better.
