The arrangement set forth in the above dis

Mobile mail will close at o'clock. II will be
carried on train Of one car and locomotive
to Mobile, and will there be put aboard OF
similar train and carried on. Eastern mail
deposited before o'clock will go on this
train, but that deposited at later hour will
be forwarded by the jackson Railroad.
The Galveston mail is sent off at the usual
and regular time. II goes by way of Mem
phis, Little Rock, Texarkana, etc. The diff
ference In time between this route and the
old one is very little; so little indeed, that 1t
causes no Inconvenience at all.
mail for Shreveport will leave on Satur-
day and every Saturday thereafter until the
quarantine is raised, on the Bart Able, one of
the New Orleans and Red River Transports
tion Company's boats,
From Capt. JOS A. Aiken the DEMOCRAT re-
porter learned that the boat will proceed as
high as possible but probably no further than
Coushatta, and there the mail will be trans.
ferred to stage line and by that line it will
be carried to Shreveport. Capt. Aiken further
said that his dispatches stated that the peo-
pie Of Shreveport were actually In state of
terror, but that at the game time they indi-
Gated q great desire to resume comm iI ca
ton with this city, and he EXP reSsed the pc
Lief that the quarantine would pc raised as
soon as their fears were allayed.
