No longer any Excuse for being Without Mag
Having recently returned from the South,
] am we'll aware Of the great inconvenience
to which the Southern people are subjected
.on account Of lack Of mail facilit7es& THIS
is, to very great extent, owing to the oath
with which contractors are required to cOIh
Eply, there being but few men at the South
who can take it. Having conferred with the
proper authorities, (and obtained their ap
proval, J | find this difficulty can be obviated
and the mails established upon every Route
at the South, and at the highest rates admis-
sibIe for the people of the North or South.
Being national Union man, (late of North
Carolina, by which mean one thatis alike op-
posed to the heresieso of the extremists North
and South. II can take this bath, and thus
form the 60nneetins1 ipk. BeEysesn. the South

a mail on every route at5the Sou5hEnOw des-

Method Of Payment.
] As ] am recognized. as principal In this
matter, payment must necessarily come
through me / can however, give the par
/ ties drafts on the Sixth Auditor of the United
| States Treasury for all theduarters for which
! contract may have been awarded, and these
! can be presented one at a time as they fall
4 due, and the money drawn substantially the
same as II the parties were BONA FIDE con
! tractors. In this case the expense (2J-per
cent should be paid by or before the exnir-
/
ment of service; otherwise payment forthis
Iqqarter viii be drawn by the undersigned
! expenses deducted, and the residue with
drafts for the remaining quarters, forwarded
! to the parties carrying the mails If persons
| prefer, / will draw and forward their money
at the end of every quarter without extra
| charge. | would, however; prefer that they
accept the drafts, in order that they may
have the matter IN their own hands si6
1t would be a source of much qualification

facilities to the Southern people Their at
tention is therefore respectfully called to this
matter As l am not required 20 cut down
by competition, II would doubtless be to their
| interest to make speedy application before
