TIL MAILS.
II g stated that Victor Smith has made ar
rangements with parties in San Francisco for q
<emi-mOnthy mail service to Cherhourg. to CON-
mence, we understand, Immediately. Beyond
this simple statement, which we find in an ex-
change, we know nothing Of the arrangements
entered into. Though We should have rejoiced
to learn that the route terminated at this place
or Olympia, as formerly, instead Of at CherbOurg,
we are still gratihed to know that We shall again
have an ocean mail service between San Fran
cisco and Puget SOInd.
Next in importance to the ocean mail Is the
route between Steilacoom and Olympia. Lat.
terly we bSve been threatened with discontin.
uance Of this service, owing to the Department
having failed to contract with any Of the parties
bidding for II. Messrs. WinsOr & Laman, the
late cCntractOrS still continue 70 carry the mail,
but only temporarily, or until such time as other
arrangements can be made. This firm, in order
more fully to satisfy the wants Of our citizens,
have generously performed more service than
their contract required; and, if not inconsistent
with the interests Of the Po I'll Department, We
should like to see contract awarded to them for
daily service on this route. Having all the
poprly requisite in coaches, hOras, &C., they
are in agOOd position to dischargc the duty sat
isiaetOrily. The growing importance Of Puget
Sound demands additional mail facilities, and
daily mail between StelaeOom and Olympia will
be only in keeping with the public and private
interests which call for IL Let Us, then, BY all
means, have the present daily mail from Month
