The contracts arc to be executed by or before the ! Ist July next. 18. Postmasters at offices situated upon or near rail- , j roads, but more than eighty rods from a depot, will. Ini- : mediately after the Ist April next, report that fact to'ha j department,stating their exact distance from the railroad j 1 depot, and how other wise supplied w ith the mail, to ena- j | hie the Postmaster General to direct the proper supply - to be made from the railroad by mail messengers, from 1 and after the Ist July next. 19 Under the act of.'ld March, 18-15. the route is to he I let to the lowest bidder, tendering sufficient guaranties j for faithful perform.nice, »ithout reference to ihe mode j of transportation than maybe necessary to provide for ! the due celerity, certainty, i.ud security of such trails- ] portation. When the lowest bid proposes a mode of conveyance i that is inadequate for the route in re -pect to the certain- I ty, security, and celerity of the mails, aside from any ::c- j cominodation for travel, il will not bo entitled to the j route. 20. When the b; 1 does not name a mode of conveyance, 1 it will he laken and understood to be for the lowest mode of j conveyance to wit: on horeback. When it proposes to i carry according to the advertisement, amt no mode of { conveyance is slated for the route in the ath ertisement, I it will be considered as offering only for horseback con- | veyance. 21. Since the passage of the art of March 3, 1845, a • new description of bid' has been received. It specifies no , mode of conveyance, but engages to carry the mail with certainty, celerity, and security, using the terms ofthe law. These bids are called, from the manner in which they are designated on the books ofthe department, ‘ star bid." it ha* been decided, alter mature consideration, that a bid proposing a specific mode of conveyance of as high a grade as two horse coach transportation is to be i j preferred to the star bid. The experience of the depa t- j j ment enables it to lay down the follow ing rules, viz : When the mail on the route is not so lanre as to requira | ! tw« horse ceach conveyance, a star bid. if the lowest, will ■ j be preferred to the specific hid. 22. When the mails are of such size and weight as to ; ( renderit necessary or expedient, in reference to them : | alone, to provide twe-horsecoach conveyance, the spe- i j cific bid. though the highest, w ill be preferred to the star j ! bid. to the exientof a moderate difference in the compen- I I sation, in ease the dHTerearce is not such as to interfere j I with the policy ofthe hew law, which looks to a reduc- I tion in the cost of transportation, Exceptions, however, J I may be allowed where the star bid if made by the present I owner of the stock on the route, and it is manifest that the reasons for preferring the specific 4)ffl cfo irrt exist in his case. 23. On routes of the lisgiiest class, where four-horse coach or steamboat transportation is required oy the size j and importance of Che mails,the preference for the spe | cific bid will be, if necessary carried to a greater extent 1 of difference than on ’he inferor conch routes, subject, however, to the exceptions above stated. 24. A modification ol’a bid, in any of its efesential ternis j is tantamount to a new bid, and cannot be received, to as I to interfere with regular competition, after the last hour , set for receiving bids.

WE have long regarded it as a mo>t humiliating re flection upon the South, Iliai no professedly ucn ; tral iainily journal lias yet been sustained w thin In r bor i ders. We have tested the experiment whether such a j paper could not be supported at the immediate South, I and though not wholly unsuccessful, our experience has l taught us that the papers of this class published ;n the | large Northern cities, possess advantage s over those of the country, which, in a measure, di fy compe ilion. But hero the case is different. Baltimore, standing as t does on the l ot tier of the Southern Slates, is yet near enough to the great commercial, literary and political emporium, ! to be included in the neighborhood of great American ■ cities, and to enjoy all the advantages, as a radiating | point, which are possessed by either Philadelphia, Boston ! or.\« w York. A paper issued from Baltimore has all the j facilities for obtaining the latest literary iii elligence, as I wc II as the current literature of the day, foreign and do mestic, that are enjoyed by the journals of the North* rn cities. The Western Continent is as large, as cheap, and can be bettM rulapted to the w;m?s and tastes of South ern readers, tha* those Northern papers which now’draw 'no large an amount of their patronage from the Southern public. Entertaiiiingthese views, we have looked with confi- I dence to the success of the Continent. Eight month’s i 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 eipial to that of its Northern cotonipnraries, is a fait hfn 1 ami energetic devotion of curliest abilities to in tke it a useful and entertaining Family Journal. It is our de sign to make the West ern Continent emphatically a Southern family paper,that may be read with interest and protit by every member of a Southern family.— With this view, wc shall draw 7 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 he taken te give the latest intelligence on all subjects of interest to the general reader, to the exclu sion of the vast amount of local matter, such as personal gossip, police reports, theatrical and other criticisms, which make up solargea peitionofthe staple of tome of the popular weeklies of the North. !n a word, though 1 I' we shall endeavor to make our paper interesting to all, our chief aim shall be to adapt it to the wants and tastes < of the people of the South and South-West, upon whom, ami these of our own city who are disposed to sustain J 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 overgrow n weeklies of the North. Terms—The Western Continent is printed on a mam moth sheet of3o by 44 inches on fair type, and securely mailed to subscribers, at Two Dollars per annum, ’n advance.

The proprietor of this Alterative would most re spectfully assure the public that he. has not offered this preparation to their notice w iihoiit due rell ac tion. and close and rigid study, nor until after I twelve years’ experience had manifested its great ) superiority over every other article of the kind.— i and lie now recommends it with confidence, fully ! believing that the above combination of medicine i will effectually eradicate from the system a class j of disease some of which have heretofore been con- ; I sidereil incurable. He litis prescribed it in almost every variety of * I disease..md with unparalleled success, especially i in cutaneous alfectiotis, cancerous, scrofulous and ■. ! scorbutic diseases, and diseases originating from j i obstruction or enlargement of the glands or impuri- j | ty of the blood.

Hedoes not wish to he understood as say ing that they can he cured as soon as Fever and | Ague, but vvitli as much certainty; and further,that ' he has good reason for heiiev ing that this prepara lion will not only « tire these diseases when funned, hut that it de.-ttoys the virus or poisonous principle lurking in the system, from which that peculiar j class of diseases, as well as that of scrofula emanate. Scrofula—King's This preparation has been used in numerous cases of Scrofula, King's Evil, and scrofulous swellings, and always with the* most det i ied success. Skin Diseases.

This medicine increases the powers of digestion, excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by which watery or calcareous depositions, and all tt.nnatnral enlargements are reduced, it imparts ’ tone and vitality to the whole system, removing sick and morbid headaches.giddiness, wandering j pains ami nervous affections. In fact, in every case where the medicine has j been taken for some time, no matter for wh t pur- ’ pose, the general health of the patient has always been improved by it. In conclusion, the proprietor would say that some I of the most astonishing cases of skin diseases, can j cer, broncbocele, anil scrofula, have been cured by | this medicine, that have ever been recorded; but want of room in this sheet precludes their publica tiun at this time. CANCER. I An interesting rose cured by Jayne's Alterative, j In the spring of 1831. a cancerous tumor appear- i er! in the right breast of Mrs. Phoebe. wife of Feter i Stretch, of Salem. N. J. It was examined by many ! I Physicians, and was considered by nil as cancerous, ; 1 and besides bore all the characteristic marks of ( ■ one. All probable means of reniov ing it were med j without the slightest benefit. It continued to in- ■ j crease both in size and painfnlnesa, until all hope I of saving her life, but by a painful operation, was abandoned, which, after a consultation o( eminent I Physicians, was performed. Jan. Ist, 1832, by Dr. I John Rhea Barton, av-isied by Dr. Redman, the , j proprietor, and two other medical genl'emen. The vv hole and entire right breast was remold, and af i ter examination of the tumor, was pronounced by i all present a cancer of the most malignant charac- I ter. In about three months, afterenduring incredi- I ble sufferings, she was enabled, though broken in ! spirit, to get about again, ."he remained feeble, I and her general health was exceedingly b id, as in -1 deed it had been for several years before. In the ; spring of 181*7, upwards of five years after her breast i had been removed, a painful tumor made its np | pearance on the right side, immediately over the | part formerly occupied by the nipple of the right i breast, previous toils removal. This tumor steadi ly increased for several months, and became so I painful as to deprived her of rest. The glands tin | der the right arm were enlarged; and scirrhus, and j ■ a hard, irregular, and at times painful tumour, ap- | I peared in the left breast. No operation could now j arrest the disease. Indeed tier whole body appear- ' ed to be a mass of disease. Her case was consid- I i ered hopeless. She was of a very' scrofulous habit, both her parents having died of Pulmonary con- ! sumption. The experiment was now made with j this Alterative. It was at first given in small * doses, three times a day, and the doses very gradu ally, hut steadily increased daily, as long as she i took it, which was about six months, and the skin 1 over and around the tumour was wet night and | morning with a strong solution of lodine and Hy j driodate Potash. The tumour continued increas- i ing in size for about six weeks, and was at times very painful, when the pain suddenly ceased alto- I gether, and the tumour swelled out at the base, and became soft, and then began to diminish, and con tinued gradually decreasing until every vestige of , disease was removed. The tumour in her left | breast, ansi those in her right axilla wore also dts- ! perseil. No cancerous or scrofulous tumours ever j appeared afterwards;and hergeceral health,vv hich ; had been so had for fourteen years as to make life a burthen, was eifecnaHy 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 1 cases equally interesting, wherein his Alterative i has subdued cancer ami cancerous tumours, but he ! has not room here to record them. Mrs. Sarah Voting, of Quinton’s Bridge, N. J., had a goitrous tumour on the leu side of Iter wind pipe, as large as the half of an orange, w hich was cured by using this Alterative for about four months. 31 ifs R S .South Fourth-street, Phila delphia, was also cured of an enlargement of the throat, which filled the entire spaee between the chin and breast-hone, and extended around on each side of her neck to behind her ears, and from her ears to her sh( nlders, 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; ami 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, •ep 29 ly * Sole Agent for Georgia. BUSINESS CARDS. B. R.
