There has been great deal of dis
satisfaction about the irregularity of
the mails " late. Letters have been
mislaid, causing great loss aud annoy
ance. On the S,h Of THIS month a
letter containing sight draft, mort
gage note, copy mortgage &C., was
mailed to New Orleans, with a re-
turn envelope and !et it has never
been delivered or returned. Where
is the fault? Sons times thelwestern
train brings the eastern mai, vice
versa the eastern train brings the
western mail The government fur
nishes the messengers orroute agents
as we presume, to facili' ate and prop
erly distribute the mail along the
