MAIL FAILURzs-The Eastern mails have
failed, several times, to arrlge from Salisbury, in
consequence, We learn of the neglect of worth
less contractor, in that place, to deliver them to
the trains in time. This Is outrage that ought
not to be longer endured; and the worthless con-

tanned mail contract to keep his carcass out of
the army, is past all cndurance.-Stotesritte Er-

don't get pay enough it is their own fault-they
must abide by their contract.
