The Fayetteville Sentinel says:
We learn from Mr. Fisher, the mail
contractor on the through north and
south line, that on the 10th of June he
designs putting on fast line of hacks
between Fayetteville and Van Buren,, and
will make quick and close connection
with the trains on the Little Rock and
Fort Smith railroad. His time will not
be more than fourteen hours to the south
railroad, and it is highly probable that
he will be able to make arrangements to
consumate it in twelve. Should the cars
leave Little Rock in the morning, they
will doubtless arrive at Van Buren about
dark in the evening, when the stage will
leave for Fayetteville, and by or
O'Clock next morning we will have the
Little Rock papers.

patch added that "the Imperial Govern
