ne DaHy Overland Nan 10 Sacramento


of last week, the welcome intelligence has
atlength reached US, that the P. NJ. Gen.
has rendered the contract for The continue
ton Of the daily overland mail from Sacra-
msnto tia. Portland to this place, to Mr.,
HENnr WNsoR, Of Olympia, and Capt R.
HoYE, Of Portland. To Mr. WinsOr is ten
dered that portion between here and Mon
tieello, which be has accepted, and to Capt
Hoyt, the river route from Monticello to
Portland, which. We doubt not, viii also be
accepted BY that gentleman. Thus it will
be seen that we are soon to have safe,
sure and rapid daily mail from this place to
Sacramento direct and complete. The
daily mail from that place to Portland has
now been in operation several weeks, but
from some unknown cause, our end Of the
route has been delayed until the present.
But now. that Il has, or will commence as
soon as Mr.. Winsor can procure the ncces,
saFy amount Of stock, we hail il with Joy,
asshe ushering in Of brighter prospects for
The future. By giving US q speedier eommu-
nicatiOn with our friends in Oregon and
California, in case Of need, aud will materi-
ally shorten the time between this and the
Atlantic States There is no one thing
that tends more to enfghten, strengthen,
and give buOyancy and prosperity to an
American community, than regular, safe
and quick communication with other sec
tions Of the world. By It, ell are enabled
70 keep themselves posted" 10 the affairs,
and transactions Of other localities, which
thus begets spirit Of emulation and euer-
81 to advance with steady pace to all ihe
improvements. both moral and physical,
that pertain to the age
We perceive that the people Of Oregon
are fully alive to the Importance and prac-
tical benefits to be derived from this source,
and they are giving all possible assistance
to the enterprise that can be rendered, in
the way Of opening roads and keeping them
in repair, furnishing supplies, and insisting
the drivers 70 push through in good time.

and Oregon Stage Company, we at the

preparations with ell possible speed, but he
has been compelled to go to Oregon to com

the enormous prices demanded for. good
horses in this section. He thinks be will
be ready to commence operations by the
hrst Of next month, and probably sooner.
In the mean time. while Winsor is getting
ready. would it not be well for the citizens
along the route, to see that the roads are
IN proper repair and condition. Every one
knows the perfectly awful condition th,
roads from here to Monticello are in during
the winter season; and We sincerely hope
and shall ezpect. that those living in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of these bad places, will
as they have done and are doing in Oregon
do all they can to keep them in at leas
