that His Excelency, Governor Perry,
recently received n circular from the Post
Office Department, stating that as soon
as he could assure TIE Department of the
responsibility Of the Railroad Companies
IN this State, contracts would be made
with them, and the transportation of the
mails forthwith commenced. In reply,
HIS Excellency has given the necessary
assurance, the Companies to transport
the mails throughout their entire line
where rail communication is imperfect,

mails on the main lines of communication
through il the State will be regularly trans.
ported. Communication ou the minor
routes will, no doubt, be resumed soon
thereafter.- Grecnvtlie Mountaineer.

no difficulty in providing lodging and
all the comforts for the members of the

Mr.. Nickerson's well known energy is
not lacking now, when it is so much
needed. We have but to add that the
