The TRI-WEEKLY MAIL RoUTE Up Rock
RIvaR.-We heve forwarded large petitions
for this new mail route-one from Carbon
Cliff and vicinity, gotten up by Michael
Cooper, post master at the Cliff; another
large one gotten up by Samuel Bowles, Esq,
and another which was gotten up by s. r.
Porter. Others were promised from Yuma
and Canoe Creek, and we hope they will be
sent to us without delay, so that we can for.
ward them to Washington, or that those who
are getting them mp will, at once, forward
them to General Harding.
We received letter Tuesday evening
from General Harding, our member of con-
gress, dated Washington, the 9Th, from
which we make the following extract
1.-THE Post Office Committee have promised nc
to put the Rock River Valley Mail Route in the
Bib for New Routes. It win, doubtless pass
"As to the Prairiefeld Post Office, 1 have sent
it to the Appointment Office, and, in due time if
the proper reports come, it will be re-estabsh-
ed"
This will be good news to the people up
Rock River Valley, and also to the people OF
Prairiefeld.
There is one other request we have to
make of General Harding, and that is, to
get the mail route, tri-weekly from Rock Is
land to Centre Ridge, in Mercer county, put
in the bill for New Routes. The mail is
now carried over this route by permission of
the Post Office Department, but at the ex-
pense of the people, who pay the carrier by
private subscriptions. The mail should
leave Rock Island, for Centre Ridge, every
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning.
The people on that route should write
to General Harding about it, and he will see
that it is done.

He probably thinks it ''well enough as long
as his company are getting rich at the peo-
Piles expense, and, therefore, like jeff Davis,
he wants to be "let alone" The people

Roh;naon Was asked by O. J. Dimick. last

Robinson was asked by O. J. Dimick, last
summer, for what sum he would sell his fer
~ property and privileges for the remsiaing
4 years of his charter. He replied $4,000.
Mr.. Dimick replied that he would take the
property, and enter into bonds with Isaac
Negus and D. L. Cunkle as sureties for the
payments, as agreed. No one could doubt
the security, and Robinson backed down and
refused to stand to his own. proposition.
Last week, Dimick made public offer, IN
front of Mitchell & Lynde's block, lin con-
versation with an apologist for another 10
years monopoly of $4,000 year for the ex-
elusive privileges now enjoyed by the poor
heirs of John Wilson, and Mr.. Negus being
present, offered to go his security.
On Monday last, Mr.. Negus offered, in
writing, and the paper signed BY Mr.. Negus
is nor in the hands Of Senator Webster, to
nav Rock Island $4,000 year for lease of
the charter, if it was granted to the city.
With these facts before Senator Webster,
and with petition now in his hands bearing
the names of 500 of our citizens demonstrating
against the renewal of the Robinson monop-
oily, we don't see how he can find any reason
able excuse for passing the bin. 1t lays en-
tirely with him, now, whether he will post
pone it, in obedience to the written request
of 500 citizens against so for it,--or whether
he will be governed by the so and thus cut
off the people OF this city from any chance
to make the ferry source of permanent and
perpetual revenue to all the people.

JEEFRRsoN DAVIS AND HIS TRIAL.-
A Richmond correspondent OF the Tn

JEFFERSON DAVIS AND HIS TRIAL
A Richmond correspondent OF the Tn
btine writes. 4|t E.stal .EHE.a
"Some are OF the belief there win be
no trial, and that Davis will either be
included In the forthcoming amnesty,
or he will be pardoned specially by the
President. Others assert that il never
was intended that Davis should be tried
when he was released on bail, and that
he Will remain out OF reach where he
Is, in Canada, or go to Europe But
these are mere conjectures, based on
nothing more than the peculiar opin-
ions and prejudices of the parties.
From an authentic source / have reason
to state that Davis will be tried at the
November term OF the United States
Circuit Court here, and that he will be
forthcoming at that time. rarH~
The counsel for the defense will de-
clare themselves ready for trial. The
Court will signify its assent in the sa me
manner. The Government will ask ior
time under the pretense of being I'M
prepHred-a shit to get out of the trial.
The Court will then say it will be in
session for n considerable period, which
will afford the Government ample time
to prepare, and IL Its representatives
term OF the Court ex pires, it will in that
case probably declare the prisoner dis
charged, in the absence of the prosecu-
ton. Such will most probably he the
programme of the long expected Davis
trial, and such the upshot OF Il in case
OF the failure OF the Government to
substantiAte its charges. The country
will then be rid OF serious incum-
brance, 4-
