ere now all completed, aud II is announced that on
Monday the new system will 60 into operation on
the line between this city aud Washington. and
that Il will he extended to other leading lines
N roughout the country. as soon A. the necessary
care can be constructed. Tho cars employed for
this purpose will have all the functions Of Q regular
post offcc. superintendent and four clerks will
te the force employed on each car, aud their duties
will be exactly similsr " those Of ordinary pcst
Office employees. On thc line between New York
and Washington. mails will be taken for oil the
principal officers Newark, Trenton, Philadelphia,
Wilmington, Havre dc Grace and BALTIMORE, and
also for connections with these cities. The
work Of preparing for distributing and x-
| ranging mails 10 go 70 points not On the
main line, will all bc done on tho car,
AMI will therefore greatly facilitate their
Transmission. The advantages Of this system ore
very great. For instance NAL matter. under tho
old system, dispatched from points South Of New
York " POINTS East, had to BE- brought 10 this city
aud the time CONSUMED la arranging IL for transfer
ncccssitstcd the loss Of train, and frequently Of
whole day. The samo is urc with regard to every
other point aud, siucc l this delay will be now
obviaed, the advantages u the new system are OBJ.
vous. The system of railway post-ofhces has long
| been in succesul operation IN Europe and the
only reason why II has not bccn heretofore adopted
in this country is tho oppoTtion Of the railway
companies, who are, 10 some extent, inconvencncci
thereby. But since these objections have been
overcome, il Will doubtless bc but short time be-
fore railway post-oihccs will 10 in operation
throughout tho country.
