The Railroads having refused to carry the mails
at present prices, and the Postofhce Department
having refused to increase the pay, we are left en-
tirely without mails. What will be done we know
not but the present state of things cannot and will
not be endured. The Department has telegraphed
to the Post Master here to enquire on what terms
the mails can be carried between this place and
Weldon, Hillsboro', and Goldsboro', By horse or
codch!!! We're not this superlatively ridiculous
it would be extremely amusing, The P NJ. has,
however, issued the following handful:

mails.

Douglas was far ahead of any other individual there
was no prospect of his nomination. We hail with

when Unexpectedly, they found that the party was
surrounded by about four hundred hostile Navajo
Indians. The brave and skillul sergeant took posi-
ton On an eminence, and, by voley from the
longshooting rifles of his party, at first drove off
the savages who however, soon rallied, and were
preparing to storm the little party on all Sides
The sergeant in taxing his brain for an expedient
by which to convey intelligence Of the desperate
peril in which his party was placed, took single
dog which had accompanied the party, fastening to
his collar a note written with pencil, informing
the commander at the fort of his situation, took
tin cup, in which he put some pebbles, which were
confined with piece of cloth the top fastened
it with string to the dogs tall and started the dog
loose knowing that be would, in his alright run
