Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Florida
and Texas. II aving recently returned
from the South. I am we'll aware Of the
great incouvenieneies to wiich the South
crn people are subjected on account Of
lack Of mail facilities. This is, toa very
great extent, owing to the oath with
which contractors are required to com
ply, there being but few men at the South
who can take it. Having conferred with
the proper authorities, land obtained
their approval) l find that this difficulty
can bc ohviated and the mails established
npon every routeat the South, and at the
highest rates admissible for the people of
either the North or South. Being Ma
',ional. Union man, (late Of North Caro-
aina. by which l mean one ,i,at is alike
