Embargo on the Nails.

I Vicksburg has laid an embargo .
all mail matter coming from New
Orleans, which is causing great incon.
venieoce to our portion Of LOuisis1s,
IS all our mail matter from the CITY
comes BY that route. and We think is
unnecessary. We bad rather run the
the sliebt risk Of taking the fever than
to be deprived Of our mails from New
Orleans, for this is q season when Q
great deal Of correspondence is re.
quired between the planters and their
merchants 10 the city.
1t is emineutly right and proper for
the authorities Of towns not yet 10.
fecled by the fever to use all neces-
ssry precautions to prevent its spread,
but we cannot believe that the stop
ping Of our mails is q necessary pre-.
caution NOR did We know before that
q municipal corporation had the
right to thus Interrupt the transit VI
the United States mails.
However. there are wiser heads in
charge Of the affairs of the Hill CITY
than ours, and they may be acting fox
the best in depriving Us of our mails,
if it does Inconvenience US. The citi.
zens of their Own town suffer as much
deprivation "a We do. But il does
seem to US that the whole community
becomes unnecessarily alarmed, and
do many foolish things, whenever the
fever breaks out There is no reason
for going crazy about such thinks.
Use all necessary sanitary measures,
and leave the rest to Providence.
