We are informed by the Greenvile
Mountaineer Of recent date, that Governor
PERRY has a circular from the Post Office
Department, stating that as soon as he
could assure the Department, of the respon-
ability of the Railroad Companies in this
State, contraets would be made with them,
and the transportation of mails forthwith
.comrenced. <.
fnreply, Governor PERRY has given the
necessary assurance that the Companies are
prepared to transport the mails, throughout
their entire lines. Incaseswhere rail com.
.munication is imperfect, the companies are
to provide hacks for the purpose. The
Monntaiaeer says sIn . few weeks at the
farthest, therefore, tits probable that the
mails on the main lines Of communication
through the State will be regularly trans
ported. Communications on the minor
routes will, no doubt, be resumed soon
thereafter" ....=ia~z 2sase -
