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of the mu ii, a penalty vv ill be exacted equal to a quarter’s pay 7.1 be Postmaster General may annul the contract for repealed failures; for vclaim?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.

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. i Terms —The Western Continent is printed on a mam j moth sheet of3o by 44 inches, on fair type, and securely mailed to subscribers, at Two Dollars per annum, »n j advance. ’iTiree copies w ill be seat for §5, or Seven copies for §lO.

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.

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. For sale by WM. K. KITCHEN, sep £8 ly 5 Sole Agent for Georgia, LEGAL NOTICES.
