Letter From Col. Hood.

last issue under the heading Change Of Nail
Schedule" and believing that it would not have
been written, had there been better understanding
of the causes which led TO the change of schedule
referred TO- have thought it advisable TO ask you
To rive room to the following explanation The
change referred to is, assure you, one of the most
Objectionable ever forced upon this company. In
going West the Fast Mail is required to leave this
city AT the earliest hour which complete editions
of the daily papers can be issued.
This has been fixed at 40 a N. Coming East, II
is compelled to leave Hagerstowu Immediately upon
arrival ofthc Postal Car from the south During
the summer this has been arriving at AS p m and
the Fast Mail has been leaving for Baltimore At
425 Recently. We received notice that on the fol-
lowing Monday 18th uit, the :. y. train. with
Postal Car would arrive at SO a. m, which COM
PEELED change in our -parture from HaEerstoWn
from 415 p III. 10 g a. IN. 10 was not until after We
had informed the Cumberland Valley R. r., which
is used by our Fast Mail trains for reaching Jhe s.
V station st Hagerstowu, that we would be COM
PEELED TO change our time upon its tracks that We
were notified 10y it Of the running of It's trains be-
tween Hagerst,es aud Maryu>buTs ard Winchester
SO as to afford US connections tn and from those
points upon the new schedule. Thus. it viii be
seen that the Winchester connections were some
thing that followed the change instead at being the
cause oft II would seem TO be unnecessary TO 50
