to law but twas deeply regretted that so few
persons had offered for the transportation Of
mails connecting with the routes running on
old time from the national capital directly
through, day and night This can be attri-
buted. we believe, only to the fact that the
advertisements have not circulated with the.
bold, enterprising people of the several States,
as extensively as hoped for. These notices
were at great expense, promulgated in news
paper and pamphlet form, but still could not.
have reached the people. :
The. above is from the Washington Chroni

these notices had been published in the news
papers which are generally subscribed to, and
read by the people Of Virginia, the routes might
have been bid for in this state.
