III AVING recently returned from the South I
IL ann well aware OF the great Inconvenience
winch the Southern people subjected ac
count OF lack OF mail facilities. This is to very
great extent, owing to the oath with which con-
tractors are required to comply, there being but
f'w at the South who can take it. Having confer.
red with tbs proper autho tiles, and obtained
their approval,) find that this difficulty can be
obviated and the mails established upon every
Route AT the South. aud at the highest rates adj
mssabie tor the people of the North or the South.
Beng national Union man, late or North Caro-
lina,) by which mean one that is opposed to the
heresl4s OF the extremists North and South / can
take this oath, and thus form the connecting link
between the Southern people and the United States
Government. This propose to do, and to estab-
iish mail on every route at the Sonth now des-
titute OF the samr follows: re-.
ANY person who is DESTROYS OF becoming q con-
tractor should address at once, stating the
route routes for which he desires contracting
Estate the extreme points to be connected which,
OF course, should be on some route heretofore es-
tabishad will then contract Tor such route or
routes in my own name and let the parties have
at discount OF ~ per cent on the annual amount
for carrying the mails said route or routes,
which will be Is cents per mile for weekly, so
Gents for a semi-weeky, and IS cents for a tri-
weekly mail. This Arrangement will secure the
route to the sub-conractors substantially the same
as i! twas his own contract and frequently at i
better>p. ice than could h. obtained in the usual
way where there is so much competition.
My per cantagc on the mileage, as above, will
not be required until the end 0i the tirst quaret
The first applicant Tor route or routes, judg-
ing BY the possslnark on the letter of application,
Will have the l.rtterencr, Other things b.ng equal:

METHOD OF PAYMENT.
As | am r;cognz ii as principle in this matter
payment must necess rily come through ms |
can, however give tht parties drafts on the Sixth
Auditor of tn, United States Treasury for all the
quarters fer which contracts may have been a.
Warded aud these can be presented one at time
when they fall due, and the money drawn Sthstan-
| TALLY the same as ii the parties Were bona jide
contractors. In this case the expenses ~, per
cent Should BE- paid BY or before the expiration
of the first quarter atci the Acknowledgement o thu,
s-rycc; otherwise as 'ncnt for this qua. ter will
be Il avn h., the Undersigned. expenses deducted,

VA d THEN money. al the end f0i every Quari1r
witheut extra charge. I would. however, prefer
that they accept the drafts III order that they have
tn matter IN lhcif own hands:
1t would be source OF much qualifications Is
HE If b. III means o:,.xtendng mail facilities to
the Southern people. Their attention. is therefore
| respectively called to this matter: As l am not
required ii, cut down by competition, it would
doubtless be to their interest to make speedy APP
plication before any modification is made in the
test oath: in order that they may obtain these
routes at the eighest rates admissible
