Dear Sir, The effort which is ma
given to the endorsement, as it is not intended 0f j"j10
to break tne seal ot any proposal until tne time of receiving bids shall have expired. 8. Th Postmaster General reserves to himself the right of declaring any contract at an end, whenevtr one failure happens, which amounts to tne loss of a trip. 9. the distances stated are such as have
been communicated to this office, and some cf
them mav be incorn-ct: on this subject the
contractor must inform himself the depart
ment w ill not be answerable for any mistake
10. In every case where the mail is trans
ported in stages, and the present contractor
shall be underbid, and the underbidd r shall
not have such stage property as may be neces
eary for the performance of the contract, he frhall br quired to purchase from the present
contractor, at a reasonable valuation, the whole
or any part of the stajie property, including
iorss, that may be suitable tor tbe service,
nd make payment therfjr by reasonable in
stalments, as bis pay becomes due, or as may
be otherwise arranged.
This will be made a condition in the accep
tance of any bid, under the bid of the present
contractor; and should the underbidder fail to comply, his bid will be offered to the present
contractor; but should he decline making the
contract at that rate, the proposal of the uu
derbidder will be accepted unconditionally.
It is distinctly understood, that the mail wil
continue to be carried in stages on every rotife
where it is now so conveyed.
1 1. No bid shall be withdrawn after the time
for receiving bids shall bave expired, and
should any person refuse to take the contrac
at his bid, he shall be held responsible to the
department for the difference between his bid
nd that at which the contract shall be made
Decisions on bids will be made known by or
before the 16tb of October. The assignraen
of any contract without the consent of the Post master General, shall forfeit ifand in all ca
gfg where application 19 made to the Depart
ment to sanction a transfer, the terms must be
fully stated.
Should a contractor or his ap;ent enafje in the transmission of oommercial information by
express on bis route, more rapidly than the
mail, be shall forfeit bis contract.

Every material statement contain
ed in this letter was proved to be utterly
false.
Mr. Southard testified, that he never
authorised the expenditure or service al
luded to; that no such account was ever
submitted to his decision, that he rreve
ler first favor had been torn from the
place where it had been fixed by ber
air hands. The tournament and joust
survived chivalry itself, the image of
which they had reflected and brightened. Changes in military art the use
of the musket, for the lance did not im
mediately affect manners; and the world
ong clung, with fondness, to those splen
did and graceful shows, which bad
hrown light and elegance over the war
riors and dames of old.
Dr. Franklin, while at the cturt of
France, showed himself to be a little of
the couriier. Being one day in the gardens of Versailles, showing the queen
seme eiectrical experiments, she asked him in a fit of raillery, if he did not dread
the fate of Prometheus, w ho was so served for stealing fire from heaven? "Yes5,
please your majesty, (replied Franklin,
Hnuieui gauaniry), 111 aiu not ueuom a pair of eyes this moment, which have stolen infinitely more fire from Jove
than ever 1 did, pas unpunished, though they do more mischief in a week than I have done in all nw experiments." The staije. In Concord, N. H. the stage drivers refuse to take in the stage more than seven band boxes to eacb lf dy, as passePfteT,
