THE DERANGEMENT IN THE MAILS

THE DERANGEMENT IN THE MAILS.
The heavy snow. storm of Saturday last
took so extensive and wide range as to
materially interfere with the arrival and
departure of mails. The storm was ex.
cessively severe both in the vicinity Of Chi :
eago ard Miw aukee, and at the latter place
is set down as the greatest snow storm in
the history of that city, blocking the streets
and thoroughfares to such an extent that
getting about was utterly impossible. On
the Western Union Railway, running out
of Racine, we understand, the snow drifts
were fifteen feet high The regular passen-
ger train from Milwaukee, due here ut 4 30
P. NJ, came ia on time on Saturday, aud the
Chicago train, due at the same hour arrived
40 minutes behind time. The regular
night train from Milwaukee was discontin-
ued on Saturday night, owing to the heavy
drifts on the road, and the night passenger
from Chicago proceeded as far as Crystal
Lake, when it got showed in and could get
no farther. At the hour we write, tues
day noon) no mail has been received from
Chicago since Saturday afternoon, but with
the exception of the non- arrival of the
Saturday night train from Milwaukee,
trains have run uninterrupted on the Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railway. 1t has not
| occurred for several years when travel ou
tina Northwestern Railway was so inter
rupted by snow. Although the heaviest fall
| of snow we have been visited with this sea,
on, yet but little obstruction to travel was
occasioned in this vicinity, and west and
north of US we understand the fall of SNOW
was quite light.

On the battlefield of Champion Hill,
