INSTRUCTIONS*

1 Seven minutes a-? allowed for opening and closing the mails at ail offices where no particular time is specified but on railroad and steamboat routes there is to be no more delay than is necessary to deliver and receive the bags. 2. The mail is to be conveyed in preference to passengers, and to their entire exclusion, if its weight and bulk require it. 3. Post office blanks, mail bags, and the special agents of the Department, On the exhibition of their credentials, are to be conveyed without further charge, on mail lines admitting of such conveyance. 4. Mail agents are to be conveyed without charge, on the principal railroad and steamboat lines, where the size of the mails utid tho number of the offices will require their employment by the Department and, in that case, a separate apartment for the assorting and safo-keeping of the mail is to be provided by the contractor, under the. direction of the Department. 6. In all cases there is to be a forfeiture of the pay of the trip when the trip is not run a forfeiture of at least onefourth part of it when the running or arrival is so far behind time as to lose the connexion with a depending mail, and a forfeiture of a due proportion of it when a grade of service is rendered in ferior to that in the contract. These for feitures may be increased into penalties of higher amount, according to the na ture or frequency of tho failure and the impbrtance of the mall. 6. Fines will be imposed unles the de linquency be satisfactorily explained in due time, for failing to take from, orde liver at, a post office, the mail, or any pnrt of it: for suffering it to be wet, in jureil. lost or destroyed or conveying it in a place or manner that exposes it to depredation, loss, or injury for refusing after demand to convey a mail by any coach, railroad car, or steamboat, which the contractor regularly runs on the route beyond tho specified number of trips in the contract, and for not arriving at the time set and for setting up or running an express to transmit commercial intel ligence in advance of the mail, a penalty will be exacted equal to a quarter's pay.

There shouid be but one route bid for in a proposal. 15. The route,the service, the yearly pay, the bidder's name and residence, and the name of each member of the firm, where a company, offers, should be distinctly atated also the rtiode*of con' veyance. if a higher mode than on horse back is intended. 16. The bid shrfltlfl be sent tjmder steal, addressed io the First Assistant Postmaster General, with "Mail Proposals in [name the State or territory,]" written on the face of the letter and should be dispatched in time to be received by or before the 16th April next, at 10 o'clock A. M. It should be guarantied, and the sufficiency of the guarantors should be duly certified. (See forms.) 17. The contracts are to be executed by or before the 1st July next 16. Postmasters at offices situated upon or near railroads, but more than eighty rods from a depot, will immediately after the 11th May next, report that fact to the Department, stating their exact distance from the railroad depot, and how otherwise supplied with the mail, to enable the Postmaster General to direct the proper supply to be made from the railroad by mail messengers, from and after the 1st July nexn* 1 19. Under the act of March 3,1845, the route is to be let to the lowest bidder tendering sufficient guaranties for faithful performance, without other reference to the mode of transportation than may be necessary to provide for the due celerity, certainty, and security of such transportation.

When the lowest bid proposes a mode of conveyance that is inadequate for the route in respect to the certainty, security, and celerity of the mails, aside from any accommodation for travel, it will not be entitled to the route. 20. When the bid does not name mode of conveyance, it will be taken and understood to be for the lowest mode of conveyance, to wit, on horseback.— When it proposes to carry according to the advertisement, and no mode of con veyance is stated for the route in the advertisement, it will be considered as offering only for^ ,^orse,baQk ji£j(ivey QflOG* -i 7-vi. 21. Since the passage of the act of March 3,1845, a new description of bid has been received. It specifies no mode of conveyance, but engages to carry the mail with certainty, celerity and secu rity, using the terms of the law. These bids aro called, from the manner in which they are designated on the books of the Department, "star bids." It has been decided, after mature considera tion, that a bid proposing a specific mode of conveyance of as high a grade as two-horse coach transportation is to be preferred to the star bid» The experience of the Department enables it to lay down the following rules, viz:

When the mail on the route is not so large as to require two-horse coach con veyance, a star bid, if the lowest, will be preferred to the specific bid. 22. When the mails are of such size and weight as to render it necessary or expedient, in reference to them alone, to provide two-horse coach conveyance, the specific bid, though the highest, will be preferred to the star bid, to the extent of a moderate difference in the compensation, in case the difference is not such to interfere with the policy of the new law, which looks to a reduction in the cost of transportation. Exceptions, however, may be allowed, where the star bid is made by the present owner of the stock on the route, and it is manifest that tho reasons for preferring the specific bid do not exist in his case. 23. On routes of the highest class, where four-horse coach or steamboat ttfensportation is required by the size and importance of the mails, the preference for the specific bid will be, if necessary, carried to a greater extent of difference than on the inferior coach routes, subject, howover, to the exceptions above stated. 24. A modification of a bid, in 'any of its essential terms, is tantamount to a new bid, and cannoi be received, so as to interfere with the regular competition, after the last hour set for rectftving bids.

RAILROAD MEETING. A meeting was held at the Court House on Saturday last, at which some interesting statements were given of the progress and condition of the Railroad now in the way of construction from Terre Haute to Indianapolis. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Rose, the President, and by Messrs. Griswold and Farrington. It would appear from statements that an additional subscription of 990,000 will be sufficient to grade the road complete for the railing, from this place to Indianapolis. The President stated that if 830.000 were taken he would answer that the citizens of Vigo need not be called on for more. We believe that shares to the amount of some 910,000 were taken promptly by persons present, before the meeting adjourned. The progress of the road so far has been unexampled, and the work pressed forward toward completion with a rapidity and earnest ness, which indicates a determination to overcome every obstacle, and to have the road finished. This will be done. No one need fear the result, or apprehend any danger as to an early completion of the road. The work will be finished. And all should help who can possibly raise the means. The stock of this road will be the best in the country—-besides the great advantages and benefits to be received by our town and surrounding country.. ?iJ

MR. FOOTS'S COMMITTEE.—The Wash ington correspondent of the North Amer ican, speaking of Mr. Foote's proposi tion to refer all the compromise plans to a committee of thirteen, says: Various conferences have recently been held in regard to the organization of the proposed committee, which have resulted in an understanding that the following gentleman shall compose it, and be elected whenever the resolution is carried Northern Whigs—Mr. Webster, Mr Phelps, and Mr. Cooper. NorthornDem-ocrats—-Mr. Cass, Mr. Dodge, of Iowa and Mr. Dickinson. Southern WhigsMr. Bell, Mr. Berrien, and Mr. Mangum Southern Democrats-^Mr. Mason, Mr. Soule,and Mr.Fooie. There wasageneral concurrence of opinion on ali sides that the influence and position of Mr Clay peculiarly pointed him out as the most proper person to preside over this committee. When it was signified to him that such w^s the desire of a majori ty of the Senate, he readily acquiesced.

Whatever measure they may recommend, it is thought, will pass the Senate by a large, if not an overwhelming vote, and will meet with the same success in the House. 'V, I.

RILEY MURDER.—A shocking murder was committed on a valuable citizen of Riley township, in this county, on Friday night of last week. Mr. ISAAC PIERCE, a very worthy man, and old citizen was murdered in his bed in the dead of night. The act was perpetrated by some one unseen, with the blow of a Hatchet, or some similar instrument.— Mrs. Pierce, the wife, was awakened by some unusual noise, and reaching toward her husband, found him struggling in what she at first supposed to be a fit. On further examination he was found weltering in blood issuing from a wound received on the temple. Mr. Pierce never spoke after the wound, but lived and lingered in great agony for twenty four hours. The door of the house was found open, but no clue has yet, certainly been had to the perpetrator of this horrid deed. ———————

VIRGINIA.

The citizens of Loudoun, the largest county in Virginia, held a meeting at the Conrt-House on Washington's Birthday, and declared themselves, though adverse to the Wilmot Proviso, utterly hostile to the Nashville Convention and all projects and manoeuvres looking to Disunion There was but one dissenting voice on the passage of the Resolutions. It is hardly necessary to add that Loudoun was always the strongest Whig County -ft. F'V .- ill Virginia*

On another point, Mr. Bissell makes the following hit "Mr. Chairman, the people of the free States have as strong an attachment for their brethren of the South at this very moment aa they had during the days of the Revolution, or at any subsequent period and thev will not suffer that attachment to be destroyed by disunionista or designing men in the North or in the South. We have our disunionista in the North, sir, and they annoy us not a little. Were your troublesome men in the North,,they would be the Garrisons, the Tappans, and the Gerritt Smiths and were our Garrisona, and Tappans, and Gerritt Smiths, in the South, the:

iey would be the disunionists against whom the lOaeratemen would have toeuart).

CHARGE TO VIENNA.—We last week announced the nomination of Hon. R. W. THOMPSON as Charge to Vienna.— The report of Mr. Thompson's nomination having been contradicted, the Washington correspondent of the Louisville Courier thus speaks 1 1 notice the correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot

but little doubt but what his nomination will be eventually favorably acted upon. The only difficulty in the way is, that many of the Democratic Senators are in favor of keeping the place vacant as a rebuke to Austria for her cruelties towards the Hungarians but I think this will be abandoned before long, when Mr. Thompson, in all human probability, will be confirmed. The appointment does credit to the administration, and is very favorably received by all parties. It was offered to him unsolicited, which furnishes conclusive evidence of the high estimation in which he is held by the President, as well as. his cabinet.— Mr. Thompson hns selected as his private secretary a Mr.%ribben, of St. Lou is, Mo., a gentleman of fine literary acquirements, and more than an ordinary degree of talent. The selection is an admirable one, and I have no doubt will prove mutually benefical.

ELECTIONS.—We have had some little experience for a few years past, in the way of election matters. The Whigs have occasionally been somewhat remiss in this section, as to exertions for properly bringing theirforces into action. We ventured a hint or two last week in a very modest way. Indeed wo made a sort of concession that nominations for all offices might not be considered necessary. Though for others we are clearly of opinion that some organization should be entered into. Our neighbor of the Journal, who, for aught we know, may be a very good man, seems a little alarmed, and begs we may not push this matter too far. He thinks there is danger at Washington, and therefore Party arms should be grounded in Vigo Very well done, to get a Democrat or two in the Legislature, Mr. Journal.--We wiirattend to your case next week.

Why don't you get out a little earlier, Mr. Journal, that we may know what you are about before dinner 1

HON. W. H. BISSELL.—Mr. Bissell, of Illinois, made a capital speech in Con gress on resolutions referring the President's Message to the appropriate committees. On the subject of Southern complaint about slaves escaping, he says "1 am not so unmindful of truth as todeny that, in respect to the subject now under consideration, same of our Southern friends have good cause to complain. But it must have been remarked by ail of us that the Representatives of those States which have really been aggrieved in this respect are not those who have threatened us with disunion. These threats have come from the Representatives of States from which, I venture to say, on an average, not one slave escapes in five years.— Who ever heard of a slave escaping from Mississippi or Alabama Where does he go to Who helps bim away Certainly not the people of the North. Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, and Missouri, the only States that are really sufferers by the escape of slaves, do not seem to have dreamed of dissolution as a remedy while the Representatives from a few of the extreme Southern States, whence slaves could no more escape than from the island of Cuba, see ample cause and imperious necessity for dissolving tne Union and establishing a "Southern Confederacy," in the alleged fact that their slaves are enUced away by the citisens of the North."
