There should he but one route bid for iu a proposal. 15. The route, the service, the yearly pay, the ladder’s name and residence, and the name of each member of the firm, where a company offers, should be distinctly stated ; —also the mode o*'conveyance, if a higher mode than on I ; horseback is intended. I 18. The bid should be sent underscal,addressed tothe I First Assistant Postmaster General, with “ii!a I Proposals i in the State of ,*’ written on the face of the f tier; I j and should be despatched iu time to be i e.-coved by or j ! before the 10th March next, at 9 o’clock, a in. 17. The contracts are to be executed by' or before the ' Ist July next. i 18. Postmasters at offices situated upon or near rail . roads, but mote than eighty rads from a depot, will.lm t mediately after the Ist April next, report that fact to ihe ! I department .stating their exact dist.i iu c from the railroad j depot, and how otiierw ise supplied w ith the mail, to cna-- i ble the Postmaster General to direct the proper supply i to be made from t lie railroad by mail messengers, from j and after the Jst Julynext. 1 19 Under the act of 3d March, 18)5. the route is to bn I I let to the lowest bidder, tendering sufficient guaranties j for faitliliil performance, without reference to ihe prod.• j of transportation than maybe necessary to prov i.te Tor I the due celerity, certainty, and security of such traus i portation. i When the lowest bid proposes a mode of conveyance that is inadequate for the route in respect to the certain - I ■ ty, security', and celerity of the mails, aside from auyec- j commodation for travel, it will not be entitled to the route 20. When the bid does not name a mode of conveyance, i it will be taken and understoodto bcf.'rthelovvesi tnodeof conveyance to wit : on horehaek. When it proposes to carry according to the advertisement, and no mode of 1 conveyance is stated for the route in the advertisement, it will be considered as offering only for horseback con veyance. 21. Since the passage of the act of March 3, 1843, a new description of bid has been received. It specifies no j mode of conveyance, but engages to carry the mail with | certainty, celerity, and security, Using the terms of tlie ■ law. These bids are called, faun the manner in which j they are designated on the book.- of the department, * star hid." It his been decided, after mature consideration, 1 that a bid proposing a specific mode of conveyance of us high a grade as two Imr.-e coach transportation is to be preferred to the star bid. The experience of the depa I- j i ment enables it to lay down the following rules, viz ; Whea the mail on the route is not >n large a.« to require two horse coach conveyance . a star bid. if the lowest,will be preferred to tlie specific hid. 22. When tlie mails are of such size and weight as to render il necessary or expedient, iu reference to them ; alone,to provide two-horse coach conveyance, the spe cific bid. though tlie highest will be preferred to the star bid. to the extent of a moderate difference iu the compen- i sation, in case the difference is not such as to interfere with the policy of the new law, which looks to a redne- j tion in the cost of transportation. Exceptions, however, may be allowe'rfwhere the st ir bid ifmade by tlie present owner of tlie slock on tlie route, and it is manifest that the reasons for preferring the specific bid do not exist in his case. 23. On routes of the hsghest class, where four-horse coaeli or steamboat transportation is required by the size and importance of the mails, the preference for the .-pe- ! cific bid will be, if necessary carried to a greater extent j of difference than on the iuferor coach routes, subject, however, to flic exceptions above stated. 24. A modification of a bid, in any of its essential terms is tantamount to a new bid, and cannot bo received, so as j to interfere with regular competition, after the last hour j set for receiving bids. < '• JOHNSON.

We have tested the experiment whether such a i paper could not be supported at the immediate South, and thoughnot wholly uusuc' essful. our experience lias lung I ns that the papers of this ( lass published :u the large Northern rides, possess advantages over those of the country, which, in a measure, di fy competition. But here the ease, is diitereat. Baltimore, standing as t does I on tile l oi tier of the Southern States, is yet near enough 1 to the grefit commercial, literary and political emporium, j to be im bided in the neighborhood of great American cities, and to enjoy all the advantages, as a radiating point, which are possessed by either Philadelphia, Boston I i r.\( w York. A paper issued from Baltimore has all the facilities for obtaining the latest literary intelligence, as i well as tin* current literature of the day, foreign and do mestic, that are enjoyed by the journals of the Northern cities. The Western Continent is as large, ns cheap, I and can be better adapted to the wants and tastes of South ern reaih rs, than those Northern papers which now draw so large uu amount of their patronage from the Southern j public. entertaining these views, we have looked with ennti ! deuce to the success of the Con i iv.;nt. Eight month’s j experience has tended to strong tiie ith it conlidonce, a ; now we enter upon its publication w ith a firm convict, o.i | that all that i-nece -m yto secure for it a circulation 1 equal to that of its Northern cotemporaries, is a faithful i and cnci gelic devotion of our ho.st abilities to make it a ; useful and entertaining Family Journal. Ir is our de ! sign to make the Western Continent emphatically a j Southern family paper, that may b read with interest | and profit by every member of a Southern family.— | With this view, we shall draw for our literary depart ment, from the best sources,such matter as will interest and ontPitaiu the mind, without ollrmliug the taste or j corrupting the morals of our readers. Pains w ill be taken to give the latest intcliigenre on nil j subjects of interest to the general reader, to the exclu sion oft lie vast amount of local matter, such as personal 1 go*-sip, police reports, theatrical an 1 other ciiticisms, j which make up so large a portion of the staple of some of • tiie popular weeklies of the North. In a word, though i we shall endeavor to make our paper interesting to all, | our chief aim shall lie Co adapt it to the wants and tastes i ofthe people of the South and South-West, upon whom, I and these of our own city who are disposed to sustain such a journal, we must m duly depend for support, i R King more upon the intrinsic merits of our paper, ! than on any promises we might make in a prospectus, I we will close by appealing to the readers of the South i and West for a si;arc of that patronage which they so 1 liberally bestow upon the overgrown weeklies of the j North.

The “WEEKLY UNION” is issued every Saturday; 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 vv iiich may appear in the daily and semi-weekly editions, at the extremely tow rale of $2. We propose alsofogive, in tin- edition, a complete 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. But, to remunerate us for this enterprise, an extensive subscription list is absolutely indispensa j b!e. j 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, ami conse -1 p -inly circumscribed its circul.C- m.

The proprietor of this Alterative would most re- j spectfully assure the public that he has not olfered j j this preparation to their notice w ithout due retlec- 1 j lion, and close, and rigid study, nor until after twelve years’ experience had manifested it; great ; superiority over every other article of the kind.— and he now recommends it with confidence, fully i believing that the above o< tabulation of medicine j will effectually eradicate from the system a c lass | of disease some of which have heretofore been con j side red incurable. lie has prescribed it in almost every variety of i disease and with unparalleled success, especially j j in cutaneous affections, cancerous, scrofulous and ; i scorbutic diseases, and diseases originating from j obstruction or enlargement of the glands or unpun : ly of the blood.

The success he lias met with in curing broncho- I j cele and cancerous affections has convinced him j : that these dangerous and horrible diseases may he j 1 removed with as much certainty as Fever and ‘ i Ague. He does not wish to be understood as say- | 1 ing that they can be cured as soon as Fever and | | Ague, but w ith as much certainty; and further, that j j he has good reason for believing that this prepara- : i tion will not only < tire these diseases when formed, | j hut that it destroys the virus or poisonous* principle j 1 lurking in tlie system, from which that peculiar I j class of diseases, as u ell as that ofscrofula emanate, j Scrofula—K ii!g*s Evil. This preparation has been used in numerous cases * j of Scrofula, King’s Evil, and scrofulous swellings, ; and always w ith the most deci ied success. Mdu Diseases.

This preparation has been prescribed in a great i many cases of chronic rheumni-m, and in every ! casein which it was used until the system became affected by the medicine, the disease was removed* Gout. A number of cases of gout have been cured by • this preparation. In one of these cases, the man I had been afflicted with it so severely for thirteen j years as to entirely disable him from business, and 1 for five months immediately prex ious to ins taking ! the Alterative he had been confined to his room; but before he had finished the third bottle, he was | enabled to walk about the streets and soon after re turned to his business, from which he 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 unnatural enlargements are reduced. It imparts , tone and vitality tu ihe whole. sy»tera, removing j sick and morbid headaches, giddiness, w andering pains and nervous affections. In fact, in every case where the medicine has ! been taken for some time, no matter for wli t pur pose, the general health of the patient has always "1 I been improved by it. In conclusion, the proprietor would say that some I j of the most.astonishing cases of skin diseases, can- j | cer, hronchoeeie,ami scrofula, have been cured by j j this medicine, that have ever been recorded; but j want of room in this sheet precludes their pubiica- \ I tiun at this lime. CANCER. An interesting case cured by Jayne’s Alterative. ; In the spring of 1831. a cancerous tumor appear- ! ed in the right breast of Mrs. I’hoebe, wife of Feter I Stretch, of Salem, N. J. It was examined by many | I Physicians, and was considered by ail as cancerous, j ! and besides bore ail the characteristic marks of j one. Ab probable means of removing it were used 1 without the slightest benefit. It continued to in j crease both in size and painfulness, until all hope j i of saving her life, but by a painful operation, was i abandoned, w hich, after a consultation 0! eminent i ■ Physicians, was performed, Jan. Ist, 1832, by Dr. ! John Rhea Barton, assisted by Dr. Redman, the | j proprietor, and two other medical genPemen. The ' I w hole and entire right breast was remc'-d, and as- ; ter examination of ihe tumor, was pronounced by 1 all present a cancer of the most malignant charac- : ter. In about three months, afterenduring incredi- | ble sufferings, she was enabled, though broken in spirit, to get about again. Mte remained tr eble, and her general health was exceedingly bad, as in deed it had been for several years before. In the , spring of 1837, upwards of five years after her breast j had been removed, a painful tumor made its ap- j pearance on the right side, immediately over the j part formerly occupied by the nipple of the right breast, previous to its removal. This tumor steadi- j !y increased for several months, and became so painful as to deprived her of rest. The glands un- : tier the right arm were enlarged; and scirrhus, and j a hard, irregular, and at times painful tumour, ap- j j pea red 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 consul- j 1 ered hopeless, tshe was of a very scrofulous habit, i | both her parents having died of Pulmonary con- ; ! sumption. The experiment was now made with 1 j this Alterative. It was at first given in small 1 doses, three times a day, and the doses very grad 11- , aliv, bat steadily increased daily, as long as she took it, which was about six months, and die skin over and around the tumour was wet night and morning with a strong solution of lodine and liy driodate Potash. The tumour continued increas j ing in size for about six weeks, and was at times i very painful, w lien the pain suddenly ceased alto -1 gelher, and tlie tnmonrsweiled out at the base,and ! became soft, and then began to diminish, and con- ; ; tinned gradually decreasing until every vestige of j disease xvas removed. The tumour in her left j i breast, and those in her right axilla were also dis- ; I persed. No cancerous or scrofulous tumours ever j appeared afterwards; and her general health, which i [ 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 .1 dozen cases equally interesting, wherein his Alterative , ► has subdued cancer and cancerous tumours, but he j has not room here to record them. Airs. Sarah Young, of Quinton’s Bridge. N. J.. had a goitrous tumour on the left >ide of h*-r wind 'i pipe, as large as the half of an orange, which was cured by using litis Alterative for about four months. Nibs R S . South Fourth-street, Phila delphia, was also cured of an enlargement of the throat, which filled the entire space between the chin and hreast-honc, and extended around on each side of her neck to behind her ears, ami 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 she was nineteen, at which 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 j»er sons to her. For sale by WM. K. KITCHEN, ‘ eep 28 ly 2 Sole Agent for Georgia. BUSINESS CARDS. B. R.
