, and the special agents j
of the department, on the exhibition of their credentials,
are to 0c conveyftl williout further charge, on mail lines
admitting of such conveyance.
4. Mail agents aie to be conveyed without charge on
the principal railroad and steamboat lines, where the
size of the mails and the number of the officers w ill re
quire their employment by the depar.incut; and in tha*
! case, a separate apartment for the assorting end safe
keeping of the mail is to be provided by llie contractor,
I under the direciiouof the department,
j H. 1 u all cases there is to be a forfeiture of the pay of
the trip, when the tnp is not run; a forfeiture of at least
one-fourth partof it w’lfPii the running or arrival is so tar
behind them as to lose the connexion with a depending
mail; and a forfeiture of a due proportion ofit when a
grade of service is rendered inferior to that in the con
tract. These forfeitures may be increased into high
penalties of higher mount, according to the nature or
frequency of the failure and the importance ol the mail.
6. Fines will be imposed, unless the delinquency besa
tisfactorily explained in due time, for failing to take front,
or tlelit cr at, a post office, the mail,or any part ol it; lor
suffering it to be wet, injured, lost„ or destroyed; lor con
veying n m a place or maimer that expos, s it to depre
dation, loss, orinjury; for refusing after demand to con
vey’a mail by any coach, rail road car, or steamboat, which j
the contractor regularly runs on the route beyond the J
specified number of tripsin the contract, and fur not ar- I
riving at the time set; and for setting up or running an !
express to transmit commercial intelligence in advance j
! of the my il, a penally will be exacted equal to a quarter s
' 7, The Postmaster General may annul the contract for
j repealed failures; for violating the post office laws; fur
disobeving the instructions of the depaitmeut; for refus
ing to discharge a carrier when requir. d by the deparl
j merit; for assigning the contract without the consent of
the Postmaster General, or for selli g up or runmi.g an
1 express us aforesaid.
j 8. The Postmaster General may alter the contract, and
alter the schedule, be allowing a pro rata increase of
i compensation, w ithin the restrictions imposed by law, for
the additional service required, or for the increased
I speed, if the employment of additional stock or carriers is
1 rendered necessary; but the contractor may, in such
i case, relinquish the contract, on timely notice, if hepre
fers it to the change. The Postmaster General may an
nul the contract or curtail the service, and pay when lie
wishes to dispense with the serv ce in whole or in part,
i or place a higher or different grade of service on the
route, he allowing one month’s extra pay on the amount
dispensed with.
9. The payments will be made through drafts on post
offices or otherwise, after the expiration of each quarter,
say in February, May, August, and November.
10. The distances are given accounting i» the best in
formation; but no increased pay w ill be allowed, should
r they prove to be greater than is advertised, il the places
are correctly named,
i ii. The Postmaster General is prohibited by law frrm
J knowingly making a contract tor tbe trasportalion of the
; mail with any person who shall have entered into any
i combination, or propose.! to enter into any combination,
to prevent the making of any bid tor a mail contract by
i any other person or pc sons, or who shall have made any
agreement, or shall have given or performed, or promised
to give or perform any consideration to do, or not to do j
any thing whatever to induce any other person not to bid j
for a mail contract. Particular attention is called to the I
28th section of the act of 1876, prohibiting condo nations j
to prevent bidding.
12. A bid received after time, to wit: the 10th March j
I next, at 9a. in., or w itliout the guaranty required by law,
I „ r that combines several routes in one sum or compensa
tion,cannot be considered in . ompetition with a regular
! proposal not adj aged to be extravagant.
13. A bidder may offer, w here the tr; importation called
for in the advertisement is difficult or impralicable at cer
tain seasons, to substitute an inferior mode ofeonveyance,
or to intermit service a speeded number of days, weeks,
or months. He may propo eto omit an office that is inac
cessible, or is not on t e stage road, the railway, or ala
steam boat landing, as the case may be; or he may offer
i to substitute an interior mode of supply in such cases
He may propose different days and hours of departure
and arrival, provided no more runnin.’ time is asked, and
it is obvious that no mail connexion or other public ac
commodation is prejudiced. He may ask tor more rnn
j nmg time to the trip,during a specified number of days,
. at certain seasons ol peculiarly bad reads; but beyond |
1 these changes, apropos.il for serv ice different from the J
I advertisement will prevent its being considered in com
petition with a regular bid not set aside for extravagance;
and where a hid contains :vny of the above alterations,
their disadvantages will be estimated in comparing it j
j with other proposals.
| 14. There should 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 staled
—also the mode (>*' conveyance, if a higher mode than on j
horseback is intended.
16. The bid should be sent under seal, addressed tothe I
First Assistant Postmaster General, with “Mail Proposals
in the State of ,” written on the face of the letter ; 1
and should be despatched in time to be receded by or I
belore the 10th March next, at 9 o’clock, a. in.
17. The contracts are to be executed by or before the 1
j Ist July next.
18’. Postmasters at offices situated upon or near rail
roads, but more than eighty rods from a depot, will. Ini
| mediately after the Ist April next, report that fact to the
department,stating their exact distance from the railroad (
depot, and how Otherwise supplied w ith the mail, to ena
! btc the Postmaster General to direct the proper supply
to he made from the railroad by mail messengers, from
| and after the Ist July next.
19 Under the act of 3.1 March. 1845, the route is to lie
let to llio 1 ow< i-l Id.ltier, tendering -ulficicnt gtin. antics
for faithful performance, without reference to the mode \
of transportation than maybe necessary to provide for
, tbe due celerity, certainty, and security of such trans
portation.
When the lowest bid proposes a mode of conveyance j
that is inadequate for the route in respect to the certain
ly, security, and celerity of the mails, aside from|any' ac
commodation for travel, it Will not be entitled to the
! route.
50. When the bid does not name a mode ofeonveyance,
it will be. taken and understood to beforthe lowest mode of ]
; conveyance to wit: on horeback. When it proposes to j
j carry according to the advertisement, and no mode of ■
conveyance is stated for the route in the advertisement,
■ it will be considered as offering only for horseback con-
I veyance.
21. Since Hie passage of the act of March 3, 1845, a
new description of hid has been received. It specifies no j
mode of conveyance, but engages to carry the mail with I
| certainty, celerity, and security, using the terms of the j
law. These bid's are called, from the manner in which j
they are designated on the books ofthe department, 1 shir
bid.’' It has been decided, after mature consideration, ,
that a bid proposing a specific mode of conveyance of as
hisrh a grade as two horse coach transportation is to be !
preferred to tlie star bid. The experience of the depa t
inent enables it to lay down the following rules, viz:
When the mail on the route is not so larce as to require i
two horse cdaeli conveyance . a star bid. if the lowest, will
he preferred to the specific hid.
22. When the mails are of such size and weight as to ;
render it necessary or expedient, in reference to them
i alone, to provide two-horse coach conveyance, the spe- |
cific hid. though the highest will be preferred to the star i
bid, to the extent of a moderate difference in the compen- I
sation, in case the difference is not such ns to interfere ;
with the policy of the new law, which looks to a redne- I
tion in the cost of transportation. Exceptions, however, j
may be allowed where the star bid if made by the present :
owner ofthe stock on the route, and it is manifest that the j
reasons for preferring tire specific bid do not exist in Ins J
| case.
23. On routes of the hsgliest class, wnere fonr-horsc
i coach or steamboat transportation is required by the size
and importance of the mails, the preference for the spe
cific bid will be, if necessary carried to a greater extent
of difference,than on •he inferor coach routes, subject,
however, to the exceptions above stated.
24. A modification of a bid, in any of its essential terms
is tantamount to a new bid, arid cannot be received, so as
i to interfere with regular competition, after the last hour 1
j set for receiving bids. <’. JOHNSON’.

I THE WESTERN CONTINENT,
A Soul hern Family News-paper of the largest size,

v^lle,,, ilfc. dfc.
Terms—Two Dollars, in advance.
J "AtTfTE have long regarded it as a most humiliating re j
t T flection upon the South, that uo professedly nett
t tral family journal has yet been sustained w thin heritor- ;
tiers. We have tested the experiment whether such a
paper could not be supported at the immediate South,
j and though not wholly unsuccessful, our experience lias
; tanglit ns that the papers of this class published in the
j large Northern cities, possess advantages over those of i
j the country , which, in a measure, defy competition. But J
I here the case is ilitferent. Baltimore, standing as >t does
I on the (lontier of the Southern States, is yet near enough
to the great commercial, literary and political emporium,
j to be iin hided in the neighborhood of great American !
J cities, and to enjoy all the advantages, as a radiating
point, which are possessed by either Philadelphia, Boston
i or New York. A paper issued from Baltimore has all the
| facilities for obtaining the latest literary intelligence, as '
well ns the urrent literature of the day, foreign and do
' mestic, that are enjoyed by the journals of the Northern
cities. The Western Continent is as large, as cheap,
and can he better adapted to the wants and tastes of South
ern readers, than those Northern papers which now draw
so large an amount of their patronage from the Southern
public.
Entertaining these views, we have looked with confi
dence to the success of the Continent. Eight month’s
experience has tended to strengthen thatconfideuce, and
! now we enter upon its publication with a firm conviction
| that all that is necessary to secure for it a circulation
| equal 10 that of its Northern cotemporaries, is a faithful
, and energetic devotion of our best abilities to make it a
useful and entertaining Family Journal. It is our de
sign to make the Western Continent emphatically a
Southern family paper, that may be read with interest
and profit by every member of a Southern family.— j
With this view, wc shall draw for our literary depart- j
ment, from the best sources,such matter as will interest 1
and entertain the mind, without offending the la.-te or ■
corrupting tbe morals of our readers.
Pains will be taken to give tbe latest intelligence on all
subjects of interest to the general reader, to the. exclu
sion of the vast amount of local matter, such as personal
gossip, police reports, theatrical and other criticisms, i
which make up so large a portion of the staple of some of
the popular weeklies of the North. In a word, though :
1 we shall endeavor to make our paper interesting to all, ■
| our chief aim shall be to adapt it to the wants and tastes i
of the people of the South and South-West, upon whom, j
' and these of our own city who are disposed to sustain ,
such a journal, we must mainly depend for support.
R lying more upon the intrinsic merits of our paper,
than on any promises we might make in a prospectus,
we will close by appealing to the readers of the South
and West for a share of that patronage which they so j
liberally bestow upon the overgrown weeklies of the
North.
Terms—The Western Continent is printed on a mam
moth sheet ot’3o by 44 inches, on fair type, and securely j
mailed to subscribers, at Two Dollars per annum, in
advance. copies will be sent for $5, or Seven
copies for $ 10.
All letters on the business of subscriptions to be ad
dressed, post paid to the editor.

THE WASHINGTON UNION.
f| A 11K “DAILY UNION” will be published ,as here-
JL tofore.at £lO per aiinuiii, payable in advance. Its
character hitherto has been almost exclusively political.
We purpose iu future to devote a portion of its columns
to domestic news of general interest, and to miscellane
ous literature, whieh, without impairing its political in
j (iuence, may render it the more acceptable to an cx
| tended class of readers.
The “BKMI-WKF.KLY UNION” will be puidished
every Monday and Thursday, during the recess ofCon
| gress, at ,n 5 per annum. This contains all the matter
j contained in lhe“/Jai7y Union," except local advertise
ments. During the sessions of Congress three numbers,
instead of two, will be issued, without any extra charge
1 to subscribers.
i ENLARGEMENT OF THE WEEKLY UN I ON.
The "WEEKLY UNION” is issued every Saturday;
1 and as arrangements are in progress to enlarge it to
near double its present size., we shall soon be enabled to
i give nearly every article which may appear in the daily
and semi-weekly editions, at tbe extremely low rate of
, §2. We propose also to give, in this edition, a complete
1 synoptical.; ...ntuary of the proceedings in both houses
! of C 'gress —thus rendering the “Weekly Union” a
! n> »sl valuable channel of information to all classes of
our country. Hut, to remunerate ns for I his enterprise,
an extensive subscription list is absolutely indispensa
ble.
We seize this opportunity to add that some delay has
taken place in putting our paper to press, which has
prevented its early delivery to our readers, and conse
quently circumscribed it-' circulation. Wc shall make
arrangements to reined}’ this defect, and to obviate this
objection. After the present week we trust that no com
plaint will be made upon tills subject.
CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER.
In addition to the foregoing, we have resolved to pub
lish, during the sessions of the national legislature, a
‘ ‘ Congressional Register ,” to be issued weekly, anil to
com mi a full report of the daily proceedings and de
bates of both houses. Indeed, the arrangements which
wc have made with the very best corps of reporters will
I enable us to give even morefull and extended reports
than we have produced during tills session, superior as
! we claim them to be toany preceding ones. The Regis
ter will be made up from the daily reports in the “Union,”
carefully revised by an experienced editor.and will con
stitute a complete and authentic record of the session.
An appendix will be added, uniform with the Register,
and to be sent gratuitously to subscribers, comprising a
list of the acts passed during the session, with a synopsis
| of their contents, and a reference, w hen necessary, to pre
vious legislation. ’J bisw i 1 form the most complete his
; tory of the sessions of Congress,and will be furnished at
the low price ofsEVENTY-FtvE CENTsfor the next session.
TT Postmasters are authorized to act as our agents;
and by sending us five yearly subscribers, with the sub
scription money, for either the Daily, Semi-Weekly, or
H eekly, will be entitled to one copy of the same edition
as they tarnish us subscribers for.
JZTThe Congressional Register will be furnished
them on the same terms.
IT” Newspapers publishing our prospectus, w ith the
notes attached, until the Ist of December next, will he
entitled, during the next session of Congress, to receive
a copy of the Congressional Register and Tri-Weekly
U n ion.
Clubs will be furnished with
5 copies of the Daily for S4O 00

I -B- compound, and are uttered It* 1 1»v p»it>-
! lie from a principle of benevolence, under the full- j
| est conviction that they will be found a sale and j
j sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been :
triumphantly tested not only by some of the must
j respectable lamdies in ihe State. v\ ho liav e furitisli
j ed ample testimony as to their decided excellence,
i but also by the proprietor, who, for ten years, suf
j lered all the gloom incident to that distressing dis
ease. They possess the peculiar excellence denied I
to most oilier Bitters, of not proving injurious by
continued use. They contain not a single delete
rious ingredient, and, as seen from the directions
which accompany each bottle, may be given with j
| entire safety to an infant in the month
ll the Colleton is taken regularly and persever
; ingly, (. winch is highly important in stubborn eases.)
| they will, soon alter the use of a few hollies, be i
found to act on the system like a charm—imparting
! vigor to tiie stomach, bracing the nerves, cleans
| mg the liver, promoting digestion, increasing the
| appetite,strengthening the chest and voice, reliev
| ing pains, cramps, and stitches in the breast. They
| are also inustexcellent fur cholera morbus, habitual i
I constipation, sea-sickness, nausea, proceeding from j
I whatever cause, in cases of general debility, it I
i lias proved one of the best remedies, and is tbere
i fore highly recommended to elderly people, literary
j gentlemen,students, and others ot sedentary habits.
Taken in small doses frequently through the clay,
they have checked the most violent diarrheea. ami
likewise been administered with the liappiesleflect
; in cholera infantum.
In all the foregoing complaints, these Bitters will
S be found effectual if persisted in, and taken accord
j iug to tlie directions \v bich accompany each bottle,
j And although it has been testilieil by several that
1 they are excellent in many others,yet in none oilier
! than I hose above enumerated, is the proprietor vvill
i ing to vouch for their efficacy. They vvereprima
j rily and solely intended to cure Dyspepsia,
j Tiie Colleton Bitters have been eight years he- !
fore the public; and in consequence of the increas- t
I ing demand for this valuable meuiciiie, the proprie- i
! lor lias entered largely into the business—bottles I
! are procured having "Colleton Bitters ’ moulded in I
j them —they are also numbered, sealed and stamp
ed with an appropriate motto. Price 8 * per buttle.

Messrs. Sands —l deem it an act of justice to myself
and the comm unity at large, to relate the following facts
which occurred in our neighborhood in the bitter part of
July last. JaneC , a young girl aged fourteen years,
was afflicted with an immense sore on the middle of her
! back, winch defied all the treatment of medical skill. As
she wasa friend ofonrfauiily.l employed all the means in
' my power in endeavoring to relieve her, but iu vain. At
last some person mentioned tome your .Sarsaparilla, and
I immediately procured two bottles ol'Alessrs. Mosely A
Tucker, your Agent.-I u this city, w hich I gave to her. 1
called to see her the next day and she told me she had ta
ken two doses and felt very much relieved. I laughed un-
I moderately at this, but she said it was really so, and, gen
I tleincn.iii a word, in two weeks from the time she com
menced using it, there was neither sign nor appearance
I of where thesore had been. Yours, respectful) v,
