Particular attention is called to I lie I | 28th section of the act of prohibiting Combinations j ' to prevent bidding. j 12. A bid received after time, In wit : the I Oth March J , next, at 9a. in., or without toe guaranty required by law, j or that combines several routes in one sum or compensa tion, cannot be considered in competition with a regular proposal not adjuged to be extravagant. I 13. A bidder may offer, vv here the transportation Called ’ for in the advertisement is difficult or inipraticahle at Cer tain seasons, to substitute f ninferior mode oft-onveyance, | or to intermit service a speeded number of days, weeks, ! or months He may prupo eto omit an office that is inac | cessible, or i- not on t e stage road, the railway, or at a steamboat landing, as the case may be; or be may offer I to substitute an inferior mode of supply in such cases I He may propose different days and hours of departure J aud arrival, provided no more ruiiniiu time is asked, and it is obvious that no mail connexion or other public ac . coininoduiion is prejudiced. H<- may ask for more run ning time to the trip . during a specified number of da vs, at certain, seasons ot peculiarly bad reads; but beyond these changes, apropos.il for service different from the advertisement w ill prevent its being considered in com- | petition w illi a regular bid not set aside for extravagance; and where u bid contains any of the above alterations, their disadvantages will be estimated in comparing it with other proposals. 14. There should be but one route hid for in a proposal. 15. The route, the serv ice, the \ early pay, the bidder’s name and residence, and the name of each member of the firm, where a company oilers, should be distinctly stated I —also the mode o'" convey ancc, if a higher mode than on j horseback is intended. I lb. The hid should be sent underseal,addressed totlie First Assistant Postmaster General, with “Mail Proposals in the State of ,’’ written on the face of the !• tier; and should be despatched in time to be reeeeved by or belore the 10th March m-xt, at 9 o’clock. :i. m. 17. The contracts are to be executed by or before the ! Ist July next. 18. Postmasters at offices situated upon nr near rail roads, but mote than eighty roils from ;i depot, vvill.lm- ■ i mediately after the 1-t April next, report that fact to the department,stating their exact distance from the railroad I depot, and how otherwise supplied with tin- mail, to ona- i 1 blethe Postmaster General to direct the proper supply to be made from the railroad by mail messengers, from 1 and after the Ist July next. I 19 Under the act oT3d March. Ii? 45, the route is to be | let to the lowest bidder, tendering sufficient guaranties for faithful performance, w ithout reference to the mode of transportation than may- be necessary to provide for j the due celerity*, certainty-, and security of such traus | pollution. When the lowest bid proposes a mode of conveyance that is inadequate for the route in respect to the certain j ty, security, and celerity of the mails, aside from auyae ! conimodatioii for travel, it will not be entitled to the j route 20. When the bid docs not name a mode of conveyance, ■ it \v ill be taken and understoodto bcfortbeloweslniodcof ' conveyance to wit; on hurt-buck. When it proposes to carry according to the advertisement, and no mode of I conveyance is stated for the route in the advertisement, ) it will be considered as offering only for horseback con j vcyai.ce. 21. Since the passage of the act of March 3, 1345, a ■ new description of bid has been received. It specifies no mode of conveyance, but engages to carry the mail with j certainty, celerity, ami security, using the terms of the law. These bids are called, from the manner in which j i they are. designated on the books of Ibe department, 4 slur hid." Il has been decided, after mature consideration, ' that a bid proposing a specific mode of conveyance of as j high a grade as two horse coach transput tation is to be preferred to th‘ star bid. The experience of the depa t uiont enables it to lay down the following rules, viz : When the mail on the route is not so large as to reqnira | two horse coach conveyance, a star bid. if the lowest, will i be preferred to the specific bid. i 22. When the mails arc of such size and weight -as to render it necessary or expedient, in reference to tbei* alone, to provide two-liorse coach conveyance, the spe ; cific bid. though the highest will be preferred to the stilt hid, to the extent of a moderate difference in the compen sation, in case the difference is not such as to interfere with the policy of the new law, which looks to a reduc tion in the cost of transportation. Exceptions, however, • in iv be allowed where the star bid if made by t lie present i owner of the stock on the route, and it is manifest that the re i-ons for preferring the specific hid do not exist in bis j case. 23. On routes of the hsgbe-t class, where four-horse j couch or steamboat transportation is required by the size i and importance of the mails, the preference for the spe i cific bid will be. if necessary carried to a greater extent j of difference than on 'lie inferor coach routes, subject, I however, to the exceptions above stated. 21. A modification of a bid, in any of its essential terms i is tantamount to a new bid, and cannot be received, sous i to interfere with regular competition, after the last hour I set for receiving bids. <JOHNSON.

We have tested the experiment w hether such a paper could nut be supported at tile immediate South, j and though not wholly unsuccessful, our experience has taught us that the papers of tiiis class published in the j large Northern cities, possess advantages over those of I the country ,v\ inch, in a measure, defy competition. Hut i here the case is different. Baltimore, standing as it does I i on the t onticr of the southern spates, is yet near enough 1 to the great commercial, literary and political emporium, j to he ini luded in the neighborhood of great American cities, and to enjoy all the advantages, as a radiating ! point, which are possessed hy either Philadelphia. Boston ur.Vevv Vork. A paper issued from Baltimore has all the j facilities for obtaining the latest literary intelligence, as 1 well as the 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, as cheap, and can be better adapted to the w ants 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 that confidence, and now we enter upon its publication with a firm conviction that all that is necessary to secure for it a circulation equal to that of its Northern colcmporaries, 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 bo 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 entertain the mind, vv ithuut offending tl; taste or corrupting tiie m -. Is of our readers. Pains will be taken to give Hie latest et. iligcnce on all sub;, its of interest to the general leader, to the exclu sion of the vast amount ofloca! matter, such as pergonal gossip, police reports, theatric... 1 and other criticisms, which make up so large a portion of the staple of some of the popular weeklies of the North. In a won!, though wc shall endeavor t > ’.cake our paper interesting to all, ou r chief aim shall I ’ to adapt it to the wants and tastes of the people ofliic South and South-West, upon whom, 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 liberally bestow upon the overgrown weeklies of the North.

Its character hitherto has been almost exclusively political. We purpose 111 future to devote a portion of its columns to domestic news of general interest, and to miscellane ous literature, w hich, w itliout impairing its political in j tlueuce, may render it the more acceptable to an c.\- ■ tended class of readers. The “SEMI-WEEKLY UNION” will bo published ; every Monday and Thursday, during the recess of Con gress, at $5 per annum. This contains all the matter contained in tli e"Dully Union," except local advertise ments. During the sessions ofCongress three numbers, instead of two, will be issued, without any extra charge to subscribers. I E M ABU EM ENT OF THE WEEKLY UNION. The “WEEKLY UNION” is issued every Saturday; I and as arrangements are in progress to enlarge it to j near double its present size, we shall soon be enabled to | give nearly every article which may appear in the daily ; and semi-weekly editions, at the extremely low rate of $2. Wr propose also to give, in this 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 ns for this enterprise, [ au extensive subscription list is absolutely indispeusa i ble. Wcseize 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- I quently circumscribed its circulation. We shall make ; arrangements to remedy this defect, and to obviate this objection. After the present week wetrustthat no com plaint will be made upon this subject. CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER. In addition to the foregoing, wc have resolved to pub lish, during the sessions of the national legislature, a , lt Cungressiontd Register," to be issued weekly, and to 1 contain a full report of the daily proceedings and de bates of both houses. Indeed, the arrangements which I we have made with the very best corps of reporters will ■ enable us to give even niorefull and extended reports : than we have produced during this session, superior as : we claim them to i to any preceding ones. The Regis ter will be madcap front the daily reports in the “Union,” | carefully ro\ ised by an experienced editor.and will con stitute a complete and authentic record of the session. An appendix will be added, uniform w ith 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. ’) his wi 1 form the most complete His tory of the sessions of Congress,and will he furnished at ■ the low price of seventy-five cents for the next session, j HP Postmasters are authorized to act as our agents; and by sending us five yearly subscribers, with the sub scription money, for either the Daily.

A ercous Discuses, Dropsical Swellings, Constitutional Disorders and diseases originating from a depraved or Impure slate of tlie Blood or other lluids of the body. ; The proprietor of this Alteranve would most re spectfully assure the public that lie has not offered i this preparation to iheir notice without due retlec- J tion. and close and rigid study, nor until afier | twelve years’ experience had manifested its great , superiority over every other article of the kind.— ; and he now recommends it with confidence, fully i believing that the above combination of medicine I will effectually eradicate from the system a class 1 of disease some of which have heretofore been con ■ sidered incurable. He has prescribed it in almost every variety of j disease and with unparalleled success, especially 1 in cutaneous atfections, cancerous, scrofulous and scorbutic diseases, and diseases originating from I i obstruction or enlargement of the glands or impun- j ' ty of tiie blood. Cancer ami Cancerous Tumors. He has used this preparation in upwards oftwen- ■ I ty well defined cases of cancer and cancerous tu -1 mors, and in every case but one with perfect and i entire success. Bronchocelc or Goitre, (Swelled Neck.) i He has prescribed it in over a hundred cases of | goitre,ami it has never failed in a single instance I to completely remove the disease. .Not a solitary I case of failure. All were cured. The success he has met with in curing bronrho cele and cancerous affections has convinced him that these dangerous and horrible diseases may be removed with as much certainly as Fever and j Ague. He does not wish to be understood as say ing that they can he cured as soon as Fever and 1 Ague, hul w ith as much certainty; and further, that i he has good reason for believing that this prepara tion will not only ( ure these diseases when formed, ; hut that it destroys the virus or poisonous principle ! lurking in the system, from which that peculiar class of diseases, as well as that of scrofula emanate, j Scrofula—King's Kvil. This preparation has been used in numerous cases of Scrofula, King’s Evil, and scrofulous swellings, and always with the most decried success. Skin Diseases. He has prescribed it in a great variety of cutane ous affections, and found it successful in curing salt rheum, or tetter, biles, blotches, pimples,morphew and jaundiced skin, &c. Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. It has been used in numerous cases of liver com plaint and Dyspepsia, and w ith the happiest effect. Tic-Douloureux. It has been used in several cases of Neuralgia, and in every case it was successful. Rheumatism. This preparation has been prescribed in a great many cases of chronic rheumaism, and In every 1 casein which it was used until the system became affected by the medicine, the disease was removed* Lout. A number of cases of gout have been cured by this preparation. In one ol these cases, the man had been afflicted with it so severely for thirteen years as to entirely disable him from business, ami for five months immediately previous to his taking 1 the Alterative lie had been confined to his room; hut before lie had finished the third bottle, he was enabled n, walkabout the streets and soon after re- i turned to bis business, from which he had so long been excluded by bis afflictions. Dropsical Swellings. This medicine increases the powers of digestion, excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by which watery or calcareous depositions, and nil I unnatural enlargements are reduced. It imparts tone and vitality to the whole system, removing I sick and morbid headaches,giddiness, wandering pains and nervous affections. In fact, in every case where the. medicine has been taken for some time, no matter for uli t pur pose, the general health oflhe patient has always been improved by it. In conclusion, the proprietor would say that some of ihe most astonishing c ases of skin diseases, can cer. bronchocele, and scrofula, have been cured by this medicine, that have ever been recorded; but 1 want of room in this sheet precludes their puhlica* : lion at this time. CANCER. An interesting case cured by Jayne's Alterative. | In the spring of 1631, a cancerous tumor appear ed in the right breast of Mrs. Phoebe, wife of Peter Stretch, of Salem, N. J. Ii was examined by many Physicians, and was considered by all as cancerous, ! and besides bore all the characteristic marks of one. All probable means of removing it were used i without the slightest benefit. It continued to in crease boili in size and painfulness, until all hope ! of saving her life, but by a. painful operation, was abandoned, w hich, after a consultation of eminent Physic ians, was performed, Jan. Ist, 1832, by I>r. John Khea Barton, assisted by Dr. Redman, the proprietor, and two other medical gentlemen. The whole and entire right breast was renso’ ed, and as- , 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, site was enabled, though broken in i spirit, to get about again. .She remained feeble, i and her general health was exceedingly bad, as in- I deed it had been for several years before. In the spring of 1837, upwards of five years after her breast had been removed, a painful tumor made its ap pearance on the right side, immediately over the part formerly occupied by the nipple of tlie right breast, previous to its removal. 'Phis minor steadi ly increased fur several months, and b ame so painful as to deprived her of rest. The gatnds un der the right arm were enlarged; and scin hus, and a hard, irregular, and at times painful tumour, ap peared in the left breast. No operation could now ! arrest thedisease. Indeed her whole body appear- I 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- ; j 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 i ally, hut steadily increased daily, as long as she j took it, which was about six months, and the skin I over and around the tumour was wet night and J morning with a strong solution of lodine and liy i driodate Potash. The tumour continued iucreas ! ing in size for about six weeks, and was at times j J very painful, when the pain suddenly ceased alto i gether, and the tumourswelied out at the base,and ■ became soft, and then began to diminish, and con tinued gradually decreasing until every vestige of i disease was removed. The tumour in her left I breast, and those in her rig lit axilla were also dis j persed. No cancerous or scrofulous tumours ever 1 appeared afterwards; and her general health, which I bad been so bad for fourteen years as to make life a burthen, w as effectually and permanently restored. 1 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 cancer ami cancerous tumours, but he has not room here to record them. Mrs. Sarah Young, of Quinton’s Bridge, N. J., bad a goitrous tumour on the left side of her wind j pipe, as large as the half of an orange, which was cured by using this Alterative for about four | months. Miss II S , South Fourth-street, Pliila i delphia, was also cured of an enlargement oflhe t throat, which tilled the entire spaee between the ) 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 i 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 per sons to her. For sale by WM, K. KITCHEN, i rep 29 ly 3 Sole Agent for Georgia. BUSINESS CARDS. E. 11. DAM ELL.
