tract. These forfeitures may be increased info high
penalties of higher mount, according to the nature or
frequeuc v of tin* failnre and the 1 jivportunce ot Che iifui 1.
fi. Fines will be imposed, unless the delinquency be sa
tisfactorily explained in due time, tor failing to take front,

dispensed with.
9. The payments will ho made through drafts on post
offices or otherwise, after the expiration ofeuen quarter,
say in February ,May. August, aud November.
Iff. The distances are given acccording to the best in

11. The Postmaster General is prohibited by law from
knowingly making a contract for the trasporialioii of the
mail with any peraAu who shall have entered into any
combination) ot* propose-.! to enter into any combination,
to prevent tite making of any bid for a mail contract by
an v other person or pe 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
any thing whatever lu induce any other person notto bid
for ani til contract. Particular attention is called to the
ogth section of the act <>f 18-li, prohibiting combinations
to prevent bidding.
i*2. \ hid received after time, fn wjf 1 (he ’Otli March
next, at 9 a.in.,or without tac guaranty required bylaw,
or Hint combines several routes in one sum or compensa
tion, cannot be considered in 1 ompetitiou with a regular
proposal nut adjuged to he extras agant.
13. A bidder may offer, w here the tr. importation called
for in the advertisement is il jffieult or impraticable at cer
tain seasons, to siib-uituie an inferior mode ofcoiiveyunce,
or to intermit service aspeetied number of days, weeks,
or months ileniay propo eto omit an office that is inac
cessible, or I* not to* t e stage road, the railway, or at 1
steam boat landing, as the case may be; or he may offer
it* substitute an inferior mode of supply in such cases
He may propose different days and hours of departure
and arrival, provided no more running time Is asked, and
it is obvious that iff* mail connexion or other public at
rtnnniodaiion is prejudiced. He may ask for more run
ning time 10 the trip, during a specified number of days,
at certain seasons ot peculiarly bad reads; but beyond
these changes, a proposal for service different from the
advertisement w ill prevent it> being considered in com
petition with a regular bid not set aside for extrav iterance)
and where a bid contains any of the above alterations,
their disadvantages w ill be estimated in comparing it
with other proposals.
14. There should he but one route bid for in a proposal.
15. The route, the service, the v early pay, the bidder’s
name and residence, and the name ofeucli member ofthe.
firm, w here a company offers, should he distinctly stated
—also the mode o*'conveyance, if a higher mode than on
horseback is intended.
Ifi. The bid should he sent under seal, addressed tothe
First Assistant Postmaster General, w iili “Mail Proposals
in the State of written on tiic fire of the letter ;
and should hr despatched in time to he receded by or
hetnre the 10th March next, at 9 o’clock, a. m.
17. The e.outracts are to be executed by or before the
Ist July next.
Ifi. Postmasters at office*; situated upon or near rail
roads, but illoi e than eighty rods front a depot, will.lni
mediatelv after the Ist April next, report that fact to the
department, stating their exact distance from the mil road
depot, and how otherwise supplied w ith the mail, to ena
ble 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 art ot'Md March, Ifi-15, the route is to he
let to the lowest bidder, tendering sufficient guaranties
for faithful performance, without reference to the mode
of transportation than may* bo necessary* .to provide for
the due celerity, certainty, and security of such trans
portation.
When the lowu*st bid proposes a mode of conveyance
that is inadequate for the route in respect to the certain
ty, seeuritv. and celerity ofthe mails, aside from any ac
commodation for travel, it will not be entitled to the
route
*2O. When the bid does not name a mode of conveyance,
it will be. taken and uiidersltiodtr* be for the lowest mode of
conveyance to wit: on horeback. When it proposes to
carry according to the advertisement, and no mode of
conveyance is stated for the rouie in the advertisement,
it will he considered as offering only for horseback con
veyance.
21. Since i!*e passage of the act of March 3, 1845, a
new description of'birl has been received. If specifies no
mode of conveyance, hnf engages to ca rry the mail with
certainty, celerity, and security. using the terms ofthe
law. These bids are called, from the manner in which
j they are designated on the books of the department,* star
bid.” It ban been decided, after mature consideration,
that a bid proposing a specific mode of conveyance of us
I high a grade as two horse roach transportation is to he
I preferred to th l, star bid. The experience of the depa t
ment 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 veyanct, a star bid. if the lowest, will
be preferred to the specific bid,
22. When the mails are of such si/.° and weight a* to
render it necessary or expedient, in reference to them
alone, to provide two-horse conch conveyance, the spe
cific hid. though the highest will he preferred to the star
bid. to the extent of a moderate difference in the compen
: sation, in case the difference is not such us to interfere
with the policy of the new law, which looks to a reduc
tion in the cost of transportation. Exceptions, however,
may he allowed where the star hid ifmade by the present
owner of the stock on the route,and it is manifest that the
reasons for preferring the specific hid do not exist in his
ease.
23. On routes of the bsghest class, where four-borsc
coach or steamboat transportation is required by the size
and importance of the mails,the preference for the spe
cific hid will he, if necessary carried to a greater extent
of difference than on 'he inf.-ror coach routes, subject,
however, to the exceptions above ‘fated.
24. A modification ofn bid, in any of itses« n ntial term?
is tantamount to a new hid, aud rannot he received, so as
to interfere with regular competition, after the last hour
set for receiving bids. C. JOHNSON.

THE WESTERN CONTINENT,
A Southern Family Newspaper of the largest size,
published eve ry Saturday in the city of Baltimore,
by Samuel Smith d' ('o., I '.dated by H. T.
Thompson, author oj ".Major Jones'
Courtship" Chronicles oj Pine
ville,” d c. d'c.
Terms—Two Dollars, in advance.
WF. have long regarded it as a most humiliating re
flection upon (tie South, that no professedly non
i tral family journal lias yet lieen sustained within tier bor
ders. We have tested the experiment whether such a
paper could not be supported at the immediate South,
‘ and though not wholly unsuccessful, our experience has
taught us that the papers of tins class published in the
large Northern cilics, possess advantages over tlio.-e of
the country, which, iu a measure, defy competition. But
■ here the case is different. Baltimore, standing as f does
I on the fiouticr of the Southern States, is yet near enough
I to the great commercial, literary ami political emporium,
to he inr hided in the neighborhood of great American
! cities, and to enjoy ail the advantages, as a radiating
j point, which are possessed by either Philadelphia, Boston
or New York. A paper issued from Baltimore has all the
facilities for obtaining the latest literary ituelligeiice, as
1 well as the current literature of the day, foreign and do
i meslic, that are enjoyed by the journals of the Northern
i cities. The Western Continent is as large, as cheap,
j and can he better ailapled 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
1 public.
' Entertniningthe.se views, we have looked with confi
-1 deuce to the success of the Continent. Eight month’s
] experience has tended to st rengtiien that confidence, and
I now we enter upon its publication with a fi rm conviction
1 that all that is necessary to secure for it a circulation
, equal to that of its Northern colemporaries, is a faithful
ami energetic devotion of nnr host 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

SL lofore.al $lO per aiiuum, payable in advance. Its
character hitherto hits been almost exclusively political.
VVc purpose iu future to devote a portion of its columns
to domestic new s of general interest, ami to miscellane
ous literature, w hich, without impairing its political i n-
Hnence, may render it the more acceptable to an cx

1 The “SEMI-WEEKLY UNION” will be published
every Monday and Thursday, during the recess of Con
gress. at $5 per annum. This contains all the matter
contained in t lie “ Daily Union,” except local advertise

instead of two, will be issued, wi.liout any extra charge
I to subscribers.
■|B\LARBEME\T OF THE WEEKLY LXffl.V.
The “WEEKLY UNION” is issued every Saturday;
j and as arrangements are in progress to enlarge it to
; near double its present size, we shall soon be enabled to
give nearly every article whicli may appear in the daily
and semi-weekly editions, at the extremely low rate of
$2. We propose alsotogive, m ibis edition, a complete
I synoptical summary of the proceedings in both houses
of Congress—thus rendering the “Weekly Union” a
most valuable channel of information to all classes of
our country. Rat. to remunerate u« for this enterprise,
an extensive subscription list is absolutely iudi.spetisa
i hie.
We seize tin* opportunity to add that some delay has
taken place in putting our paper to press, w hicti has
prevented its early delivery to our readers, and conse
quently circumscribed its circulation. We shall make
I arrangements to remedy this defect, and to obviate this
j objection. After the present week wetrustthat no coni*

CONG HUSSION V L R EGISTER.
In addition to the foregoing, wc have resolved to pub
lish,during the sessions of the national legislature, a
l“ Congressional Register,” to be issued weekly, and to
1 contain a full report of the daily proceedings and de-
I bales of both houses. Indeed, the arrangements which
! we 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 this session, superior as I
j we claim them to be toany preceding ones. The llegis
ter will be maileup from rbo daily reports in the “Union,”
carefully revised by an experienced editor.and will con

she was a friend of our family, 1 employed all the means i n
my power in endeavoring to relieve her. butin vain. At
last some person mentioned tome your Sarsaparilla, and
1 immediately procured two bottles of Messrs. Mosely &
Tucker, your Agents in this city, which Igaveto 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 im
moderately at this, but she said it was really so, and, gen

An interesting case cured by Jayne’s Alterative.
In the spring of 1831. a enure n« tumor appear
ed in the right breast of Mrs. Fines*, wile of Beier
Stretch, of Salem, .V J. It vva* examined by many
Physicians, ami was considered by all as cancerous,
and besides bore all the characteristic marks of
one. All probable means of removing it were used,
without ilie slightest benefit, it continued to in
crease both in size and painfhlness, until all fio|m
of saving her life, hut by a painful operation, was
abandoned, which, after a consultation of eminent
Physicians, was performed. Jan. Ist, 1832, by Dr.
John Khea Barton, assisted by Dr. Redman, th*
proprietor, and two other medical gentlemen. The
whole and entire right breast w as renro”'*d, and af
ter examination of the tumor, was pronounced by
all present a cancer of t!i<- most malignant charac
ter. In about three mom!is, after enduring incredi
ble sntlerings, she was enabled, though broken in
spirit, to get about again. Bhe remained leehle,
and her general health was exceedingly bad, as in
deed it had been for several years before, in llm
spring of 1837, upwards of live years after her br east
had been removed, a painful tumor made its ap
pearance on the right side, immediately over the
part formerly occupied by' the nipple of the right
breast, previous toils removal, 'ibis tumor steadi
ly* increased for several months, and became so
painful as to deprived her of rest. The glands un
tierthe rightarm were enlarged; andscirrhus, ami
a hard, irregular, and at times painful tumour, ap
peared in the left breast. No operation could now
arrest the disease, indeed her whole body appear
ed to be a mass of disease. Her case was consid
ered hopeless. She was of a very scrofulous habit,
both her parents having died of Pulmonary con
sumption. The experiment was now made with
this Alterative. It was at first given in small
doses, three times a day, anti the doses very gradu
ally. but steadily increased daily, as long as she
took it, which was about six months, and the skin
over and around the tumour was wet night and
morning with a strong solution us iodine and Hy
driodaie Potash, 'i he tumour continued increas
ing in size for about six weeks, and was at lime*
very painful, when the pain suddenly cease*f alto
gether. and the tnnmnrswelled out at the base,ami
became soft, and then besran lo diminish, and con
tinued gradually decreasing until every vestige of
disease was removed. The tumour in her left
) breast, and those in her right axilla were also dis
| perseti. No cancerous or scrofulous tumours ever
appeared afterwards;and her general health, which
I had been so bad for fourteen years as to make life a
! burthen, was effectually ami permanently restored.
The proprietor is in possession of the diseased
breast, and those who choose may examine it. Ho
would also say that he could mention over a dozen
cases equally interesting, wherein his Alterative
has subdued eaneerand cancerous tumours, but he
has not room here to record them.
Mrs. Sarah Voting, of Quinton's Bridge,N. J.,
had a goitrous tumour tin the left side of her wind
pipe, a> large as the half of an oramre, which wa«
cured by using this Alterative fur about four
months.
Miss R S .South Fourth-street, Phila
delphia, was also cured of an enlargement of the
throat, which filled tiie entire spaee between the
chin and breast-bnne, and extended around on
each side of her neck to behind her ears, and from
her ears to her shoulders, and produced awful de
formity. It commenced growing when she was
but live years old. and continued gradually to in
crease until she was nineteen, at which ;:me she
commenced using this Alterative, which she took
for seven months, which entirely reduced the en
largement; and she has now as smooth and pretty
a neck as can he found. The proprietor is not at
