KemOnstrance Again st the Discontinuance
OF the Morning Star Mail Service-Con-
tlition of the Crops.

Remembrance Against the DiscOn tinuance
Of the Morning Star Mail Service-Con-
tlition of the Crops.
UPPER ASCENSION, juno l2. 1881.
Nix ED1ToR:
| How can it BET Arc we to be de
| prlved of the mail service which the
postal authorities have tried for years to
make Il success? Truly, there must be a
screw loose somewhere. When slow old
rattle trap boats, varying in time from
five to forty-ciyht hours, were employed
to supply the mail along this route, then
it was reasonable to suppose that his
mail route should be a matter of cues
ton, discussion and suspicion with the
honorable Department.
Last January, however, everybody be-
gan to entertain the belief that our en-
crgctic postal authorities had found
| tho means to crack the nut, when they
placed the contract in the hands of
DR.. Peterson, and Capt Pennywitt with
his lightning boat, the Morning Star,
was engaged to execute it. Since then
mails have been as regular as the
rising and setting sun. And why, then,
shall this route be discontinued. No
body along the entire route asks or de-
sircs such discontinuancc or change
Everybody is highly pleased with the
service performed by the Morning Star
A change and discontin,ance of this
mail service between Donaldsonvillc and
Baton Rouge will greatly impair needed
facilities, and prove detrimental to the
interests of the section.
BY having given us the Morning Star,
with Capt. Pcnnywitt on deck, to sup
ply the mail along this "lll-fatedr route,
the Department supplied a necessity
long felt, and now, why not let it con
Time in its good work ? We earnestly
beg and cntrcat tho postal authorities to
look to our interests and allow the mail
and their action will be hailed by every
one as good work.
The crops in this vicinity are looking
well, though sadly in want of rain.
Fully five weeks have passed without
their having been benefited by a single
shower Jupiter Pluvius appears to have
a grndge against us. In consequence of
this dry spell, planters have had ample
time to cultivate their fields properly
and keep grass down. The greater part
of the corn crop, as we'll as scattering
stubblc cane, has been laid by, with COW
peas well drilled between the rows. The
plant cane succors freely and promises
fairly; it will shortly be laid by also.
In my humble opinion, the crop generally
is pretty fair one, considering how the
cane aud stubble had to fare last winter.
and tho presumption we first entertained
Of it. 1t is short, as compared with
that of last year, but l don't think the
falling Oft will be more than one-third.
Truly yours, SHANGHAI.
