Having recently returned from the South,
am well aware Of the great inconvenience
20 which the Southern people are subjected
on account of lack Of mail facilities This
is, to a very great extent, owing to the oath
with which contractors are required % com
ply, there being but few men at the South
who can take it. Having conferred with the
proper authorities, (and obtained their ap
proval, find this difficulty can be obviated
and the mails established upon every Route
Mt the South, and at the highest rates admis-
~ihle for the people of the North or south
| Being a national Union man, (late Of North
Carolina, by which mean one thatis alike Op-
| posed to the heresies Of the extremists North
and South l can take this oath, and thus
| r,rm the connecting link between the South
rn people and the United states Govern
ment. Tl1is't tpF0p,se 70 do, and q. establish
a mail on every route az the South now des
/ .itute Of the same, as fDlloWs:
Any person who Is desirous Of becoming a
| contractor should address me ut once, stating
/ the route OF routes for which he desires con
| sracting, (here state the extreme points to be

/ or routes, which viii be about 25c per mile
| ior a weekly, soc. for semi-weekly, and T5c

tractors. In this case the expense (22 pc
cent should be pad 10y or before the expiT
