Mail Service on the Jackson and
Yazoo City Railroad.

EDITORS CLARIoN: On the 10th Of
| March, at my request, you published 8
letter from the ID. Assistant 2. NJ. General
stating that circulars had been sent to the
Illinois Central Railroad for Mail Service
between Jackson and Yazoo City, from
which it was reasonably inferred that ser,
vice would be commenced as soon as the
Road was ready for the trains. Ascertain
ing that it had been delayed greatly to the
disappointment and inconvenience of the
public on the line of the road, applied
at the Post Office Department on the 9Th
inst, for an explanation of the cause; and
in answer, received the following letter
enclosing a communication to the Depart
ment from Mr.. Clarke, President of the
Railroad Company, assigning the reason
for the failure of the Road TO transport
the mails. was, however, assured at
the Department that negotiations were
still pending by which it was hoped a
satisfactory arrangement would soon be
made with the Company for the perfor.
nance of the service. On my arrival
here l was surprised 10 learn that
the Post Master General had issued an order
disseminating the Postoffices at Flora, and
probably other stations, on the road lam
left TO infer that it has been done in conse-
quence of failure to effect a satisfactory
adjustment with the company. have
autographed the department asking asus-
pension of the order in the hope that lAn
arrangement may yet be made. l will add
that Congress voted every cent of appro-
priation asked for by the Postofiice Depart
ment for the mail service; and as the gov
eminent has not been charged with illiber-
atty in its dealings with railroads for
carrying the mails, l cannot but think
that the apprehension of the President Of
the Road that the company would not be
sufficiently compensated, for the service
is unwarranted.
Yours truly,
f. BARKsDALE.

Gov. Lowry delivered an address be
fore the Rose Hill Institute and about
four hundred visitors, Wednesday, 9th,
at Ii a. m. He spoke about an hour
in practical, but attractive and
interesting manner, upon the subject of
progress in. Mississippi, the advantages,
and industrial benefits Of this State, as
compared to others and exemplified
that Mississippi offered equal, if not
superior inducements to young men and
yeung ladies to rise in intellectual, as
well as financial pursuits, to any other
State in the Union. He spoke good
words of cheer to the pupils, and com
plimented them upon the progress they
had made during the last scholastic year,
urging them to renewed and more zeal
Gus efforts in the future. Although the
Governor was supposed to be making a
school speech he could not resist the
temptation to put in good word for
the Worlds Exposition soon to take
place in New Orleans, which he char
acterized as destined to be the grandest
thing that ever occurred upon the con-
tinent, the Worlds Fair, the Gem
tennial not excepted. Close attention
was paid to the speaker and the address
vas greatly appreciated Enterprise

About three weeks ago William II
DeYel, who lives on the Little Kentucky
river, was standing on the Carrollton
wharf boat as one of the packets rounded

the welcome intelligence from the clerk

him that or any other considerable sum,

school, in St. Louis associated with him a

The young student left suddenly for

from Mr.. Devol, and promising to repay
him when he should be able TO repay

city. Each lost sight of the other. Re-
Gently however, by mere chance, Mr.
Wright, who has now become an old
man, learned that his friend and bene-
factor Devol lived near CarrOlltOn. He
accordingly enclosed 800 in an envelop,
and put it in care of steamboat clerk,
hoping that the latter might find DeVol,

his custody three months, and thus a
