t. Seven minutes are allowed for opening and closing
♦he mails atall offices vvh re no particular time is >peci- 1
U“d; but on railroad ami steamboat routes there is to be j
rut more delay than is necessary to deliver and receive '
(he bnps.
2. The mail is to be conveyed in preference to pnssen
gort.and to their entire exclusion, if its weight and bulk
require it.
3. Post offics blank?, mail bags, and the special agents i
| of the department, on tbe exhibition of their credentials, I
' are to be conveyed without further charge, on mail lines
| admitting of such conveyance.
4. Mail agents me to be conveyed without charge on
| the principal railroad and steamboat lines, where the
sized the mails and the number of tbe officers will re
quire ilieir employment by the department; and in that
case,a separate apartment for the assorting and safe
keeping of tbe mail is to be provided by the contractor,
under tbedirectiouof the department.
5. In all cases there is to be a forfeiture of the pay of
1 the trip, when the tr p is not run; a forfeiture of at least
one-fourth part of it when the running or ar rival is so far
behind tli* in as to lose the connexion w ith 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
J penalties of higher . mount, according to the natuie or
frequency of the, failure and the importance of the mail.
6. Fines will be imposed, unless the delinquency be sa
tisfactorily explained in due time, for failing to take from,
or deliver at, a post office, the mail,or any part ofit; for
suffering it to be wet, injured, lost, or destroyed; lor con
veying it in a place or manner that exposes it to depre
dation. loss, orinjury; forrefusing after demand to con
veya mail by any coach, railroad car, or steamboat, vv Inch
the contractor regularly runs on the route beyond the
specified number ol trips in tile contract, and for not ar
riving at the time set; and for setting up or running an
express to transmit commercial intelligence in advance
of the mu ii, a penalty vv ill be exacted equal to a quarter’s
pay
7.1 be Postmaster General may annul the contract for
repealed failures; for vclaim? tbe post office laws; for
j disobeying the instructions of tbe department; forrefiis
j mg to discharge a carrier when required by the depurt
i meiit; for a.—igniiig tlie contract w ilhout the consent of
j the Postmaster General, or lor sctli g up or running ail
i express as aforesaid,
8. The Postmaster General may alter the contract, anil
alter the schedule, he allow ing a pro rata increase of
compensation, within the restrictions imposed by law, for
the additional service required, or for the increased
speed, if the employment of additional stock or carriers is
; rendered necessary; but the contractor may, in such !
i case,relinquish the contract, on timely notice, if he pre- j
fers it to the change. The Postmaster General may an- '
mil tin contract or curtail the service, and pay when he j
wishes to dispense with the serv ee in whole or in part,
or place a higher or different grade of service on the !
route, he allowing one month’s extra pay on the amount
i dispensed with.
9. The payments will be made through drafts 3ti post (
' offices or otherwise, after the expiration of eacii quarter, i
say in February ,May. August, and November.
10. The distances are given acccording to the best in
! formation; but no increased pay will be allow ed, should
1 they prove to he greater, than is advertised, if the places
are correctly num^d.
11. The Postmaster General is prohibited by law frem
knowingly making a contract for the traspoi tatioa of the
mm. vvi'h any person who shall have entered into any
combination, or proposed to enter into any combination,
[ to prevent the making of any bid for a mail contract by
■ any other person or persons,or who shall have made any 1
i agreement, or shall have giv eu or performed, or promised
to give or perform any con.-idc ration to do, or not to do
any tiling whatever to induce any other person iiottobid
for a mail contract. Particular attention is called to the
: 28th section of the act of 18 6, prohibiting combinations
to prevent bidding.
12. A bid received after time, to wit: the 'Oth March
1 next, at 9a. in., or w itlioiit the guaranty required by law,
; or that combines several routes in one sum or coinpensa- i
lion, cannot be considered in i ompetilioa with a regular
pro,A- al not adjaged to be exlrav agaut.
13; A bidder may offer, vv here the tr. asportation called i
for in the advertisement is difficult or impratieable at cer- :
tain seasons, to substitute ? ninferior mode ofconveyance, ■
or to intermit service a speefied number of days, weeks,
or months Hemaypropo eto omit an office that is inac
cessible, or is not on t e stage road, the railway, or at a
steam boat landing, as tlie case may be; or he may oiler
ro substitute an inferior mode, of supply in such cases
He may propose different days aud hours of departure
and arrival, provided no more rutmin? time is asked, and
it is obvious that no mail connexion or other public ac- I
conmiodation is prejudiced. He may ask for more run- ;
ning time to the trip .during a specified number of days, i
at certain seasons ol peculiarly bad read.-; but beyond I
these changes, a proposal for service different from tlie j
advertisement will prevent its being considered in com
petition w ith a regular hid not set aside for extravagance;
and where a bid contains any of the above alterations, j
their disadvantages will be estimated m comparing it
i w ith other proposals.
14. There should lie but one route bid for in a proposal. I
' 15. The route, the service, the yearly pay, tbe bidder’s j
name and residence, and the name of each member of the )
Jinn, where a company offers, should be distinctly stated I
—also the mode o r convey ar.ee, if a higher mode than on ;
horseback is imended.
■ 18. The bid should be sent underseal, addressed tothc
First A -sisia. t Postmaster General, w itb ‘‘Mail Proposals 1
) in tin-State'>f ,” written on the face of the letter; !
and should he despatched in time to be receeved by or
before the Ultii March next, at 9 o’clock, a. ni.
17. The contracts are to be executed by or before the
Ist July next.
18. Postmasters at offices situated upon or near rail
roads, but mote than eighty rods from a depot, will. Im
mediately after the Ll Xpril next, report that fact to the
I department-stating their exact distance from the railroad ,
depot, and how other.vl.-e supplied with the. mail, to ena
ble the Postmaster General to direct the proper supply j
1 to be made from the railroad by mail messengers, from
and after the Ist July next.
19 Under the act of 3d March. 1845. the route is to bo
! let to tlie lowest bidder, tendering sufficient guaranties
for faithful performance, w ithont reference to tin; mode !
of transportation than may b" necessary to prov ide for i
I the due celerity, certainty, and security of sic,si traiis
! portation.
When the lowest bid proposes a mode of conveyance :
that is inadequate for the route in respect to the certain- :
ty, security, and celerity of the mails, aside from any ac
commodation for travel, it will not be entitled to flic (
route
20. When the bid does not name a id ode of convey anco,
it w»II be taken and undcrstoodlo bcforthelowestmodecf
conveyance to wit: on horeback. When it proposes to j
carry according to the advertisement, ami no mods of j
conveyance is stated for the route in tlie advertisement,
it w ill be considered as off ering only for horseback con- !
v eyance.
21. Since the passage of the act of March 3, 1845, a
new description ofbid has been received. Jt specifies no
mode of conveyance, but engages to carry the mail with '
certainty, celerity, and security, using the terms of the j
law. These bids are called, fiom the manner in which
they are-designated on the books of the department, ( star
bid." It has been decided, after mature consideration,
that a bid proposing a specific mode < f conveyance of as
high a grade as two horse coach transportation is to bo
preferred tothc star bid. The experience of the depu t
uient 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 conveyance . a star bid. if the lowest, will 1
be preferred to the specific bid.
22. When the mails are of such size and weight as to
rendcrit necessary or expedient, in reference to them
alone, to provide two-horse coach conveyance, the spe- i
cific bid. though tbe highest w ill be preferred to the stai
! bid. to the extent of a moderate difference in the compen
; sation, in case tbe difference is not such as to interfere
with the policy of the new law, which looks to a rcduc- j
, lion in the cost of transportation. Exceptions, however,
mav be allowed where the star bid ifmade by Ih<* present
owner of the slock on the route,nnd it is manifest that the j
reasons for preferring tile specific bid do not exist in bis
case.
23. On routes of tlie hsgbest Mass, where four-horse ‘
couch or steamboat transportation is required by the size !
and importance of tlie mails, the preference for tlie spe
cific bid vvill 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 an y of its essential terms
is tantamount to a new bid, and cannot he received, so as
to interfere with regular competition, after the last hour
set for receiving bids. * '• J* HINSON.

THE WESTERN CONTINENT,
A Southern Family At us paper of the. largest size,
< j mid is lad every Saturday in thenty of Baltimore,
by Samuel South f Co., Edited by U. f.
Thompson, author of " Major Jones’
Courtship ,” " Chronicles of Ptue
villef 4 c. fe.
Terms—Two Dollars, in advance.
WC have long regarded it as a most humiliating re |
flection upon ilie Soutli, that no professedly neu
tral family journal has yet been sustained w thin her bor
ders. Wo have tested tile experiment whether such a
paper could not be supported at the immediate South,
and though not wholly unsuccessful, our experience has
tang at us that Hie papers of this class published in the
large Northern cities, possess advantages over these of
tin; conntrv, which, in a measure, d fy compciilion. But
here the case is different. Baltimore, standing as t does
i on ilie no itier of the Southern States, is yet near enough
to the great commercial, literary ami political emporium,
to he im luded in tile neighborhood of great American
! cities, and to enjoy all 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 intelligence, as ;
t well a* the current literature of the day, foreign and do- j
[ meslic, that are enjoyed by the journals of the Northern
j cities. The Western Continent is as large, as cheap,
| and can he better adapted to the wants and tastes of South
; era readers, than those Northern papers which now draw
i so large an amount of their patronage from the Southern
j public.
Entertaining these views, we have looked with confi
dence to the success of the Continent. Eight month’s
experience has tended to strengthen that confidence, and
now we enter upon its publication with a firm conviction
that all tliat is necessary to secure for it a circulation !
equal to that of its Northern cotcinporaries, is u faithful |
and energetic devotion of our best abilities to make it a
useful and entertaining Family Journal. It is our dc- !
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.—
With this view, wo shall draw for our literary depart
ment, from the best sources,such matter as will interest
: and entertain the mind, without offending the taste or
. corrupting the morals of our readers.
Pains will be taken to give the latest intelligence on all
I subjects of interest to the general reader, to the exclu
; sion of the vast amount of local matter, such as personal
i gossip, police reports, theatrical and other criticisms,
j which make up .-o large a portion of the staple of some of
the popular weeklies oft he North, In a word, though
we shall endeavor to make our paper interesting to all,
onr chief aim shall be to adapt it to the wants and tastes
j of Ihe people of the South and South-West, upon whom,
and these of our own city who are disposed to sustain
i such a journal, we must mainly depend for support.
1 it lying more upon the intrinsic merits of our paper,
than on any promises we might make in a prospectus,
1 we will close by appealing to the readers of the South
; and West for a share of that patronage w hich they so
j liberally bestow upon the overgrown weeklies of the '
; North.

THE WASHINGTON UNION.
rSIHE “DAILY UNION” will be published, as here-
HL tofore.at sl() per annum, payable in advance. Its
character hitiierio lias been almost exclusively political.
We purpose in future to devote a portion of its columns
to domestic news ofgeneral interest, and to iniscellune
-1 ons literature, which, without impairing ils political iu
; tiucnce, limy render it the more acceptable to an ex
tended class of renders.
The “SEMI-WEEKLV UNION” will be published
every Monday ami Thursday, during the recess of Con
gress, at §5 per annum. This contains all the matter
contained in the "’Daily Union except local advertise
ments. During the sessions of Congress three numbers,
instead of two, will bo issued, without any extra charge
t’> subscribers;
ENLARGEMENT OF THE WEEKLY CNION.
The “WEEKLY UNION” is issued every Saturday;
and as arrangements arc in progress to enlarge it to
near double its present size, we shall soon be enabled to
give nearly every article w hich may appear in the daily
and semi-weekly editions, at the extremely low rate of
§2. We propose alsotogive, in this edition, a complete
1 synoptical summary of the proceedings in both bouses
| of Congress—thus rendering the “Weekly Union” a
| most valuable channel of information to all classes of
our country. But, to remunerate us for this enterprise, J
an extensive subscription list is absolutely iudispensa- j
ble.
Weseize this opportunity to add that some delay has i
taken place in putting our paper to press, w hich lias
prevented its early delivery to our readers, and const;- i
queutly circumscribed its circulation. We shall make j
arrangements to remedy this defect, and to obviate this '■
objection. After the present week we trust that no com
plaint will be made upon ibis subject.
CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER.
Iu addition to the foregoing, we have resolved to pub
lish, during the sessions of the national legislature, a
i “ Congressional Register.” to be issued weekly, and to
contain it full report of the daily proceedings and de
bates of both houses. Indeed, the arrangements which
; we have made with the very best corps of reporters will
enable us to give even morefull and extended reports
than we have produced during this session, superior as
we claim them to be toany preceding ones. The Regis
ter will be madcup 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, when necessary, to pre
vious legislation. 'J his wi 1 form the most complete his
tory of the sessions of Congress, and will be furnished at
the low price of seventy-five cents for the next session.
!t r Postmasters are authorized to act as our agents;
and by sending us five yearly subscribers, w ith the sub
scription money, for either the Daily , Semi-Weekly, or
Weekly, will be entitled to one copy of the same ediiiou ,
as they furnish us subscribers for.
ETThe Congressional Register will be furnished :
them on the same terms.
ETNewspapers publishing our prospectus, with the :
notes attached, until the Ist of December next, will be
i entitled, during the next session of Congress, to receive
a copy of the Congressional Register and Tri-Weekly
Union.
Clubs will be furnished with
5 copies of the Daily for ' S4O 00

PATENT MEDICINES.
J A VNIS ALTER ATI V EL
i
, fTSIHIS valuable preparation combines all the
JB. medicinal virtues of those articles, which
long experience has proved to possess the most safe |
and efticieutalterativeand deobstruent properties,
for the cure of Scrofula King’s Evil, White Swell
ings Ulcers; Scrofulous, Cancerous and Indolent
Tumours; Mercurial and Syphilitic Affections ,
i Rheumatism . GonL Svurvey, JSturalgia or Tic
| Douloureux. Caticcr, Goitre or Jironchocelc, [swelled
I Neck,] Enlargements of the Dunes, Joints. Glands
! or Riga mails or of the O caries. River. Spleen, Kid-
I neys, 4c. AH the diseases of the Skin, such as
I Tetter, Ringworm, Riles, Dimples. Carbuncles cfx.,
j Dyspepsia and River Complaint. Nervous Diseases,
; Dropsical Swellings, Constitutional Disorders and
I diseases originating from a depraved or Impure
; state of the Blood or other lluids of the body.
The proprietor of this Alterative would most re
spectfully assure the public that he has not offered
this preparation to their notice without due reflec
tion, and close and rigid study, nor until after
twelve years’ experience had manifested its great
j superiority over every other article of the kind, —
and lie now recommends it with confidence, fully
believing that the above combination of medicine
will effectually eradicate from the system a class
of disease some of which have heretofore been con
sidered incurable.
He has prescribed it in almost every variety of
disease and with unparalleled success, especially
in cutaneous affections, cancerous, scrofulous and
scorbutic diseases, and diseases originating from
obstruction or enlargement of the glands or impuri
ty ol the blood.
Cancer ami Cancerous Tumors.
lie has used this preparation in upwards of twen
ty well defined cases of cancer and cancerous tu
mors, and in every case but one with perfect and
entire success.
Ilronchocele or Goitre, (Swelled Neck.)
He has prescribed it in over a hundred cases of
goitre, ami it has never failed in a single instance
to completely remove the disease. -Not a solitary
case of failure. All w ere cured.
The success he has met with in curing broncho
eele and cancerous affections has convinced him
that these dangerous and horrible diseases may be
removed with as much certainty as Fever and
Ague. He does not wish to he understood as say
ing that they can he cured as soon as Fever and
Ague, but with as much certainly; and further, that
he has good reason for believing that this prepara
tion will not only cure these diseases when formed,
but that it destroys the \ irus or poisonous principle
lurking in the system, from which that peculiar
class of diseases, as well as that of scrofula emanate.
Scrofula —King's Evil.
This preparation has been user! in numerous cases
j ofScrofula, King’s Evil, and scrofulous swellings,
and always with the most deci led success.
Skin Diseases.
He has prescribed it in a great variety of cutane
ous affections, and found it successful in curing salt
rheum, or teller, biles, blotches, pimples,morphew
and jaundiced skin, Ac.
Dyspepsia and Diver Complaint.
It has been used in numerous cases of liver com
plaint and Dyspepsia, and with (be happiest effect.
Tic- Douloureux.
It has been used in several cases of Neuralgia,
i and in every case it was successful.
Rheumatism.
This preparation has been prescribed in a great
many cases of chronic rheumaism, and in every
casein which it was used until the system became
affected by tlie medicine, tlie disease was removed*
Gout.
A number of cases of gout have been cured by
this preparation. In one of these cases, the man
had been afflicted with it so severely for thirteen
years as to entirely disable him from business, and
for five months immediately previous to his taking
the Alterative be bad been confined to bis room; j
but before he hud finished the third bottle, he was i
j enabled to walk about the streets and soon alter re- |
j turned to his business, from which lie had so long
been excluded by his afflictions.
Dropsical Swellings,
This medicine increases the powers of digestion,
excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by ,
which watery or calcareous depositions, and all j
unnatural enlargements are reduced, ft imparts i
tone and vitality to the whole system, removing
sick and morbid headaches, giddiness, wandering
pains and nervous affections.
In fact, in every case where llie medicine has \
been taken forsorae time, no matter for uh t pur- j
pose, the general health of the patient lias always !
been improved by it.
In conclusion, the proprietor would say that some j
of the most astonishing cases of skin diseases, can- i
cer, bronchocele, and scrofula, have been cured oy |
this medicine, that have ever been recorded; but
want of room in this sheet precludes their publica
! tion at this time.
CANCER.
I An interesting case cured by Jayne's Alterative. !
■ In the spring of 1831, a cancerous tumor appear
ed in the he ht breast of Mrs. Phoebe, wife of Peter !
Stretch, of Salem, N..1. It was examined by many j
Physicians, and was considered by all as cancerous, |
and besides bore all the characteristic marks of j
one. All probable means of removing if were used :
without the slightest benefit. It continued to in- 1
crease both in size and painfulness. until all hope )
of saving her life, but by a panifnl operation, was
abandoned, which, after a consultation oi eminent :
Physic ians, was performed, Jan. Ist, 183*2, by Dr.
John Rhea Barton, assisted by Dr. Redman, the
proprietor, and two other medical gentlemen. The
whole and entire right breast was removed, and af
ter examination of the tumor, was pronounced by
all present a cancer of the most malignant charac
ter. In about three months, after enduring incredi
ble sufferings, she. was enabled, though broken in ;
spirit, to get about again. She remained feeble,
and her general health was exceedingly bad, as in
deed it had been for several years before. In the
] springof 1837, upwards of five years after her breast
I had been removed, a painful tumor made its ap- i
! pearance on the right side, immediately over the j
| part formerly occupied by the nipple of the right |
I breast, previous to its removal. This tumor steadi- j
j ly increased for several months, and became so
i painful as to deprived her of rest. The glands un
] dertbe right arm were enlarged; and scirrhns, and
a hard, irregular, and at times painful tumour, ap
peared in the left breast. No operation could now
arrest the disease. Indeed her w hole body appear
ed to be a mass of disease. Her case was consid- j
i ered hopeless. She was of a very scrofulous habit, 1
i both her parents having died of Pulmonary con
! sumption. The experiment was now made with
this Alterative. It was at first given in small
j doses, three times a day, and the doses very gradu
ally*, but steadily increased daily, as long as she i
; took it, which was about six months, and the skin
over and around the tumour was wet night and
' morning with a strong solution of lodine and Hy \
driodale Potash. The tumour continued increas- i
i ing in size for about six weeks, and was at times
very painful, w hen the pain suddenly ceased alto
i get her, and the tumour swelled out at the base, and
| became soft, and then began to diminish, and con- ,
tinned gradually* decreasing until every vestige of j
disease was removed. The tumour in her left ;
breast, and those in her right axilla were also dis
persed. No cancerous or scrofulous tumours ever
appeared afterwards; and her jflneral health, w Inch
j had been so bad for fourteen years as to make life a
| burthen, was effectually and permanently restored.
The proprietor is in possession of the diseased
breast, and those who choose may examine it. He
would also say that he could mention over a dozen
cases equally interesting, wherein his Alterative !
has subdued cancerand cancerous tumours, but lie !
has not room here to record them.
Mrs. Sarah Young, of Quinton’s Bridge, N. J., j
hod a goitrous tumour on the left side of her wind- j
pipe, as large as the hall of an orange, which was j
cured by using this Alterative for about four |
months.
Miss R—— S . Smith Fourth-street, Phila
delphia, was also cured of an enlargement of the
throat, which filled the entire spaee between the j
chin and breast-bone, 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 five years old, and continued gradually to in
crease until site was nineteen, at w hich time 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 be found. The proprietor is not at
liberty to give her name in print, but will refer per
sons to her.
