EDITOR CHRONICLE The mail has come
and no CHRONICLE for this week. This
occurs with both the county pa
pers; they get along the week after they
are published. One Of the causes for this
delinquency is the fact that there is no
certain or reliable connection in the mail
service between Bridgeport and Bellaire,
and failures to connect at Bellaire frequent
ly occur. But the present failure is at
tributed to another cause, and one too which
| am told frequently occurs. No Mail Agent
on the train going West this morning to
distribute the mail. The train refuses to
take the way mail on that account. The
same thing occurred last night with the
train from the West; mo mail agent on the
train, can't deliver your mail. can't receive
vdur mail, for the East. This is the kind
of annoyance we are subjected to from eth
or Indifferent or incompetent public agents.
If such delinquencies, when they occur
frequently, were reported promptly by the
Post Masters, as they should be, the evil
could easily be corrected. The p. D. De-
partment would hardly continue the services
Of agents who were either incompetent, OF
notoriously negligent in the performance ol
their duties. -arf -i.l
II is to be hoped that the Postm asters
along the Central Road, in this ceunty, vii
take the m ter complained of 10 hand, anG
correct the evil 1t is doubtless within
their power 70 do so. (. ~ 1Jo1k (

"MAJoR NoRRis, OF the Both Ohio,
is reported to have lost log in the battles
before Atlanta. The Steubenviile thinks
there is some mistake about it. The Her
aid says
Judge Jewett received q letter from his

a report Of the battle, near Atlanta which
occurred on the 10th Of July. The letter is
dated the 22d In his letter Capt. Jewett,
In speaking of Maj. Norris casualty, does
not speak ofthe injury as at all serious, and
intimstes THAT Major Norris would likely
be in condition to be on duty again in
short time-a few days. From this the
supposition is, that there may be some mis-
take about Major Norris losing leg. As
Capt. Jcwett succeeds Major Norris in COM
mand, il is reasonable to suppose that he
would know OF the extent Of the Majors
injury whether he lost leg or not.
