vAnnah and Middle Florida, instead Of going by
way Of Jacksonville, now pa@ over the Cd
route, via the Live Oak branch bat, instead Of
being forwarded BY The Fast Mail which
leaves Savannah at 40 p. L., and thence from
the Waycross junction 70 Live Oak - they
should be, they are detained in Savannah from

hours and ten minutes, until the leaving Of the
Jacksonville Express" so-called- OF course i
is beyond ordinary mortal comprehension just
why the trains On the Live Oak branch besweeA
Waycross and Live Oak, should Be run II con-
neciion with the " Jackson vile Express" in
stead Of the Fast Mail,'' thus delaying the
mails for large section Of the Slate from b
IL hours en- youts, instead Of being run in con-
nection with the so-called Fast Mail" The
effect is to give jacksonville and The 81. Johns
river section Of the State the benent Of the
fast mails while the entire section west Of Jack
sonville is worse OF than if there were no such
thing as Fast Mail" The change Of SEIZED
ule on the J.. p. & n. r r. does NOT help
matters In this particular respect . particle,
and NO change on that road could work any
benefit 20 long as the 8. F. & w. road in
sists on running its Live Oak branch a. an ex-
tension Of what it calls the Jacksonville Ex-
press,p instead Of running it a. an extension
from Waycross TO Live Ok, Of the 8 Fast Mai, /"
which it would seem might just As well be done
az NOT. II is true. the change on the J. p. & II.
road delivers the mails tribe earlier at places
along the line than before, and an hour earlier At
Tallahassee, and 30 lar u o. benefit; bat the j.
P. & NJ. Receivers are not presumed to have any
control over the time tables on the g. r. & W.
road, and hence are p0wefleas to effect such o
change as would result in forwarding the mails
for all that portion Of the State west Of Jackson
vile, without the senseless and vexa;ious delays
We have mentioned The Receivers have been
enabled, by direct communication with the post
Office authorities to require part ofthe mails to be
sent via Live Oak instead Of jacksonville; but we
doubt if even the post ofice officials can effect q
change Of schedule on the Live Oak branch, a.
wiz avoid the delays we are still compelled to
complain of. We seem to be ct the mercy Of
the Savannah road, though what its motive may
be for antagonizing and discommoding 50 large
a portion of the people Of Florida, from whom
Savannah has always drawn an extensive and
lucrative trade, - past conjecture.
