A bill received after time, to wit: the 'o*h March next, at 9 a.»n.,or withoutt e guaranty required bylaw, or that combines several routes in one sum or compensa- I til n, cannot be considered in competition with a regular i I proposal not adjuged to be extravagant, j 13.

There should be but one route bid for in a proposal. 15. The route, the service, the yearly pay, the bidder’s name and residence, and the name of each member of the linn, where a company offers should be distinctly stated —also the mode o*’ conveyance, if a higher mode than on horseback i.- intended. 16. The bid should be soil under seal, addressed tothe First Afc.'ifttaet Postmaster General, with “.Mail Proposals in the Stale of ,” written on the face of the b iter ; and should be despatched iu time to be rcceevcd by or before the 10th March next, at 9 o’clock, a. m. 17.

Im mediately after the 1-t April next, report that fact to the departnii-ut,stating their exact distance from the railroad depot, and Iniw otherwise supplied w ith the mail, to ena ble tiic Postmaster General to direct the proper supply ; ‘ to be nnute from the railroad by mail messengers, ironi and after the Ist July next. 19 Under the set of 3d March. 1845. the route is to lie let to the lowest bidder, tendering sufficient guaranties for faithful performance, without reference to 'he mode of transportation than maybe necessary to provide for j the due celerity, certainty , and security of such truus j portation- Whcn 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 the route -20. Wfecn the bid does not name a mode of conveyance, itwill be taken and understood to be for the lowest mode of conveyance to wit; on horeback. When it proposes to ‘ carry according to the advertisement, and no mode of ; eonveyai-iee is stated for the route in the advertisement, it w ill becousidered as offering only for horseback con veyance. 21. Since the passage of the act of March 3, 1845, a new description offeid has been received. It specifies no mode of conveyance, but engages to carry the mail w ith ; certainty, celerity, and security, using the terms of the j law. These bids are called, from the manner in which I thevarc designated on the books oft.hedepartment, ‘ alar ! hid." It has been decided, after mature consideration, | that a bid proposing!! specific mode of conveyance of us j high a grade as two horse coach transportation is to be I preferred to th" star bid, The experience of rile depa I- i merit enable- it Jo lay down the following rules, viz : When the mail ou the route is not o large as to requira two horse roach eon vcyaucf. a -tar bid. if the lowest, will be. preferred to the specific bid. 22. When the mails are of such size and weight as to render!: necessary or expedient, in reference to them I alone, to provide two-horse coach conveyance, the spe i cille bid ihoughthe lnglie-t. will be preferred to the stat | bid, 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 t!ie cost of transportation, lay ceprious, kowever, ni iv be allowed where the s. ir bid if made by file p'-i-ent owner of tlie stock on the route, and it is manifest that the j reasons for preferring the specific bid do not exist in his j case. 23. On routes of the hsgliest class, where four-horse j coach or steamboat transportation is required by the size i and importance of the mails, the preference for the spe- , cilic bid will be. if neces-ary earned to a greater extent j t of difference than on *he inferor coach routes, subject, ! j however, to the exceptions above stated. I 24.

A Southern Family Newspaper of the largest, size, jiublished every Saturday in the city of Baltimore, I by Samuel Smith <V Co., Kdiled by IV. T. Thompson , author es ''Major Jones’ Courtship ,” “Chronicles of Pine rille,” »yr. fc. Terms—Two Dollars, in advance. i tK’STE have long regarded it as a mast humiliating re V v Ruction upon the South, that no professedly uea tral family journal has yet keen sustained u tliin her bor ders- We have tested the experiment whether such a paper could not be support! d at the immediate South, j and though not wholly unsuccessful, our experience has taught ns that the papers of this id ass published iu the large Northern cities, pte-e.-s advantages over those of ’ i the country, xvliicli. in a measure, defy competition. But ] ! hen'the case is ilitl’eren.t, Baltimore, standing as t does | on 'he lio tier of the .Southern tvali - is yet near cno •• j to the great commercial, literary and political emporiutu, ■ i to be included in the neighborhood of great American j cities, and to enjoy all the advantages, as radiating I | point, which are possessed by eitherl’liUa le'pi ia, Uostou ; ! c.r N \v York. A paper issued from Baltimore has all the • i facilities fur obtaining the latest literary intelligence, ns | i well as tile current literature of the d iv, foreign and do- j 1 mastic, that are enjoyed by the journals of the Northern ! j cities. The Western Continent is as large, as cheap, j and can be better adapted to the w aihs and tastes of South- | , crii readers, than those Northern papers ivhich navvdraw j I so large au amount of ibe'tr patruuage from the jduutbem , i public. Entertaining these views, we have ivokcii with co-ufi- ! ! denec to the success of the Continent. Eight ntonth’s j l experience has teuded.to strengthen thatcoulidence, and | now we enter upon its publication with a firm conviction j that till that is necessary to secure for it a circulation | equal to that of its .Northern cotempo’-aries, is a faithful ami energetic devotion of our best abilities to make it a useful and entertaining Family Journal. It is our de- j sign to make the Wes tern Continent emphatically a I Southern family paper, that may be read with interest i and profit by every member of a Southern family.— j With this view.'wc shall draw for our literary depart- | me nt, from the best sources.such matter as will interest ! i and entertain the mind, w itliout offending the taste or i ormptiug the morals of our readers. Pains will be taken to give the latest intelligence on all .subjects of interest to the general reader, to the exclu- ; sion of the vast amount of local mytmr, such as personal gossip, police reports, tkeatriciil and other criticisms, w iiic.h make up so large a portion ofilie s.ta|de ofsomeof the popular weeklies of the North. In awo d, though we .-hall endeavor tojuake cur paper interesting to all, our chief aim shall lx* to adapt it to the wants and tastes of the people of the South and South-We >t. upon whoa), and these of our ow n city who are disposed to sustain such a journal, we must mainly depend for support. H lying more upon the intrinsic merits of our paper, than on any promises we might make ia a prospectus, wc will close by appealing to the readers of the South and West for a share of that petrouage which they so liberally bestow upon the overgrown weeklies of the North. Terms —The Western Continent is printed on a mam moth sheet of3o by 44 inches, on fair type, and securely j mailed to subscribers, ut Two Hollars per annum, 'n j advance.

THE WASHINGTON UNION. “DAILY UNION” will be published, ns here tofore. at .810 per aunuim payable in advance. Its character hitherto has been utmost exclusively political. I VVe purpose in future to devote a portion of its columns to doine.-t ic now s of general i uteres t, and to miscellane- I ous literature, » Inch, without impairing its political ni- Huence, may render it the more acceptable to an ex tended class of readers. The “.SEMI-WEEKLY UNION 7 ” will he published every Monday and Thursday, during the recess of Con gress, at n. 5 per annum. This contains all the matter I contained in Ihe “ I Jail y Union, n except local advertise , nienis.

The “WEEKLY I’NION” is issued every Saturday; and as arrangements are in progress to enlarge it to in- .r double its present size, we shall soon be enabled to ; give nearly every article which may appear in the daily and semi-w eekl_\ editions, at the extremely low rale of $2, We propose also to give, in this edition, a complete | synoptical summary of the proceedings in both bouses ; of Congress—-thus rendering the “Weekly Union” a j i most valuable channel of information to all classes of ' our country. But, to remunerate us for this enterprise, an exteusive subscription list is absolutely mdispeusa ; ble. Weseisee this opportunity to add that some delay has taken place in putting our paper to press, w hich has I prevented its early delivery to our readers, and conse ! qitently circumscribed its circulation. We shall make arrangements to remedy this defect, and to obviate this objection. After the present week we trust that no com plaint will be made upon this subject. CONG R KSS ION A L 1{ LG IST K I?.

He has prescribed it in almost every variety of i disease and with unparalleled success, especially i in cutaneous affections, cancerous, scrofulous and j scorbutic diseases, and diseases originating from i obstruction or enlargement of the glands or impuri -1 ty of the blood. Cancer anti Cancerous Tumors. lie has used this preparation in upwards oftwen j ty well defined cases of cancer and cancerous tu j mors, and in every case but one with perfect and j entire success. JJronchocele or Goitre, (Swelled Neck.) i He has prescribed it in over a hundred cases of ! goitre,ami it lias never failed in a single instance to completely remove the disease. Not a solitary j case of fadure. All were cured. ; The success he lias met with in curing bronrho- I cele and cancerous affections has convinced him i that these dangerous and horrible diseases may he i removed with as much certainty as Fever and ! Ague. Jit does not w to be understood as say i ing that they can be cured as soon as Fever and I Ague, but with as much certainty; and further, that i he has good reason for believing that this prepara | lion will not only * ure these diseases when formed, j 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. Scrofula —Ring’s Evil. , This preparation has been used in numerous rases of Scrofula, King’s Evil, and scrofulous swellings, and always with the most deci led success. .Skin Diseases. He has presrri bed 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 Liver Complaint. It has been used in numerous cases of liver com plaint and Dyspepsia, and with 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 j affected by the medicine, the disease was removed 1 Gout. I A number of cases of gout have been cured by this preparation. In one of these cases, the man 1 had been afflicted with it so severely lor thirteen years as to entirely disable hint from business, and , fur live mouths immediately previous to his taking the Alterative he had been confined to his room; 1 but before lie had finished the third bottle, he was ! enabled to walkabout the streets and soon after re turned to his business, from which lie had so long i 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 till unnatural enlargements are reduced. it imparts tone and vitality to the whole system, removing 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 wh-it pur ; pose, the general health of the patient lias always been improved by it. In conclusion, the proprietor would sny that some . of the most astonishing eases of skin diseases, can cer, brunchocele, and scrofula, have been cured t»y | this medicine, that have ever been recorded; hut want of room in this sheet precludes their puhlica -1 lion at litis time. CANCER. 1 An interesting ease eared hy Jayne's Alterative. In the spring of JB3I. a cancerous tumor appear ed 111 the right breast ofMrs. Phoebe, wife of Peter {Stretch, of Salem, N. .1. Ji was examined by many Physicians, and was considered by all as cancerous, ; and besides bore all I lie characteristic marks of I one. All probable means of removing it were used without th * slightest benefit. It continued to in crease both in size and painfulness, until all hope 1 ol saving her life, but by a painful operation, was j abandoned, which, after a consultation ofemiiient Physicians, was performed, dan.-Ist, 1832, by J)r. John Khea Barton, assisted by Dr. Redman, the proprietor, and two other medical gentlemen. The whole and entire light breast was removed, and af ter examination of the tumor, was pronounced hy ail 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 gm about again, .''he remained feeble, and her general health w as exceedingly bad, as in deed it had been for several years before. In the I spring of 1837, upwards of live 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 I lit* right 1 breast. prev ty-ts to its removal. Tins tumor steadi ly increased lor several months, and became so painful as to deprived her of rest. The glands un derthe right ami were enlarged; and scirrhtts, 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 lie a mass of disease. Her case was consid ered hopeless. Bhe was of a very scrofulous habit, i both her parents having died of Pulmonary con sumption. The experiment was now made with j this Alterative. It was nt first given in small I closes, three times a day, and the doses very grad 11- ■ ally, but steadily increased daily, as long as she j took it, which was about six mouths, and the skin 1 over and around the tumour was wet night and morning with a strong solution of lodine and Hy 1 driodate Potash. The. tumour continued increas ing in size for about six weeks, and was at limes very painful, when the pain suddenly ceased alto ; getlier. and the tumourswelied out at the base,and became soft, and then began to diminish, and con tinued gradually decreasing until every vestige < f 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 hergeueral health, which had been so bad for fourteen years as to make life a burthen, w as 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 cancer and cancerous tumours, but he has not room here to record them. 3lrs. Sarah Young, of Quinton’s Bridge, X. J., had a goitrous tumour on the left side of h-r w ind pipe,as large as the half of an orange, which was ■ cured hy using this Alterative fur about four ■ months. Miss R S , South Fourth-street, Phila- I delpltia, was also cured of an enlargement of the . tiiruat, which filled the entire spaee between the chin and breast-bone, and extended around on each side of Iter 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 she was nineteen, at which time she commenced using this Alterative, w hich sfie 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, eep 28 ly 2 Bole Agent for Georgia. BI SI NESS CARDS.
