Mail Transportation.
I CONCLUDED.]
Post Office Department, Aug. 23, 1854.
Sie : Your letter ot the 31st ult. is received.
I fully understand the conditions ol your contract
with reference to the Express Train. The molli
fication to which you reler, was simply a change
of hours, and a diminution of the speed. Two
daily mails each way were still required, and no
reduction of the service has been authorised.
The additional mail on the Columbia branch
B was considered of too little importance to notice.
It is my most anxious wish to extend the dou
ble service South of Wilmington, and I deeply
regiet that you have declined my offer of $250
pei mile lor an improvement, which would re
dound so largely to the advantage of Charleston
and other Southern cities.
Having now exhausted al! the means within
my power, and failed in my purpose, owing to
your refusal to perform service, as I have clearly
v shown, unless at a higher rate of compensation
IjP than is allowed elsewhere in the country, (con
sidering the terms ol your contract) there re
mains nothing lor me to do, except to insist that
)ou make proper connection with the mail now
conveyed from the South. 1 therefore expect
that you will arrange at the earliest day, for
changing your schedule, so as to leave Augusta
at 8 p. m. and thus expedite the mails a whole
business day to Charleston and all points this
side. I am, respectfully, your obt. serv’t,
JAMES CAMPBELL, P. M. Genera!.'

HII Dear Sir : Youis of the Ist inst. duly received,
in which you order this Company te change
their schedule, so as to leave Augusta at 8 p. m.
I instead of 6£, a. m. You do not say at what
time we must arrivg at Kingsville, or at what,
time we shall leave Kingsville and arrive at Au/
Please give me the full schedule you wish Js
to run. You do not say what compensation yau
propose for the change of service, which isla
flight service for a day service. Very respecttil

fjST Office Department, Aug. 11,1554.
t: After my several letters to you, and
h I must be allowed to say, have not been
answered, I am much astonished by the
teaof of your last, dated 9ih inst., which is just
The idea of additioual compensation for night
service,'now r suggested by you, in view of all
that I have said to you on the subject of compen
sation generally, strikes me with unmitigated
surprise; and I have to say,that unless you per
form double daily service on the terms proposed
to you, I shall be compelled to reduce the pay
betw?»en Charleston and Branchville to the rate
allowed elsewhere for similar service. It will
also be come matter for serious consideration
whether the pay should not be reduced between
Augusta and Branchville, as you are now bound
to perform double daily service.
Without the latter reduction, your pay for a
•ttfgle daily mail will be $237.50 from Kingsville
Augusta, and SIOO per mile between Charles
pTton and Branchville, and Columbia and Kings
ville. Leaving Augusta at 8 p. rn. the mails
P should reach Kingsville by 34 a. m. Going
South no change of schedule, (for a single daily
mail) is now contemplated. The favor ol your
early answer is requested.
I am, respectfully, your ob’t. serv’t,

Sir: The additional compensation asked is
founded upon the athlifimial service nrmv^a.Lla
I li'irwr 188 ypilflai service. And the right
to ask it, is found in that clause of the contract
which provides that “The Postmaster General
may increase” the service, or change the sched
ule, he allowing a pro rata increase or compen
sation within the restrictions “imposed by iaw
BXj for the additional service required.”

from Branchville to Columbia, including
i the double daily service, which, 1 would aga a,

Sir : I have concluded the arrangement with

tween Wilmington, N. C., and Kingsville, S. C.,
at $250 per mile.

John Cald«'f.ix, Esq , Prest S. C. R. R. Co.,
Cuarleston, S. C.
Charleston, So. C. Sept. 6th., 1854.
Dear Sir : On my return from Washington,
I applied to the W. and M. R. R. Co. to see if
they could give us time enough to allow us ten
hours between Kingsville and Augusta, and they
say they cannot, until their bridge is done, and
then only one hour of time more.
The time of leaving Kingsville now is 2£ a.
m. allowing only 6J hours Irora Augusta to
Kingsville, hours is the proper time for the
running of a passenger Train, and our night
trains are freight trains,.making only ten miles
per hour. Therefore you will see that the con
nection cannot be made without creating addi
tional expense, and the necessity for the addi
j tional pay.
L 1 dislike to press on you the consideration of
■ this matter of increased pay, earned by the in
■ creased expense, but this company cannot be
■ gnvexned by any other rule than that the pay for
» mail service should depend upon the expense to
1 the company in carrying the mails, and the pro
! position to carry them forms a just part of the
expense at this pointy I must again refer you
to the report ol the Engineer of this company,
,W. M. Stockton, on the 4th inst., of the expense,
a copy of which 1 left with you.
There is another view of this matter that I
would invite your attention to; all of the roads
| referred to by you, to show that our mails p y
! was sufficient, are paid for service on all the
I length of the different roads, and Trains engaged
; in their regular business. Now you not only re
quire us to put on the road a train not required
lor the business ol the road, but you do not pay
us for the use of those trains on all parts of our
road, or or, all the running of the trains.
You are aware that we are compelled to or
ganise two trains in Charleston, one for Augusta
and the other for Columbia; each of~those trains
must be prepared to perform the service equal in
expense to carrying the mail over the whole line
ot road, while only one of those trains receive
P»Ytrom Cuarleston to Branchville
Now I admit this grows out of the peculiar io
. .
cation of our road; but before the road existed,
two stages run from Charleston, one to Augusta
and the other to Columbia, and each received
pay under separate contracts. I cannot see why
we should not receive pay on each of the Trains,
as they are each necessary to carry the mails to
Augusta and Columbia. Now this appears to
be a fair mode of estimating the length of the
service; and if you will allow us the $237.50 on
the 270 miles run by our trains, we will make
the connection required, and put an end to all
further difficulty attending this subject.
Very respectfully

The Weather and the Health.
We regret that we are unable to announce any
improvement in the state of the weather or the
health of our city. Warm, dry, and dusty weath
er, such as we are now experiencing, cannot fail
to add largely to the numbers of those, whom it
is our daily duty to record, as having gone down
to the grave, victims of a remorseless pestilence *
which spares neither age nor sex. No social po
sition, or endearing ties, are safe from the hand
of the destroyer. In almost evevy family, from
the higheit to the lowest, are to be heard the
wailings of mourners over the body of some be
i loved one, who has been stricken down by th/
j pestilence. /
i We again reiterate our warning to absentees,
to~remain until after the occurrence of a heavy
frost. With such weather as we now have, it
would be almost certain death for them to return.
[TF* Mr. Wm. Haines request us to say that
he does not keep Ice for the well but for the sick
As long as he has a pound on hand the latter
can obtain it at his store.

Germans have produced some very
excellent remedies for various diseases.
Among which may fee specified “Dr. Hooflands
celebrated bitters.” for sale by C. M. Jackson—and
used with remarkable success in Liver Complaint,
Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility, and a gone
ral derangement of the stomach. Tho Sunday
Dispatch says of this medicine:—
“Wefeel convinced, that in the use of the Ger
man Bitters the patient does not become debilitat v
ed, but constantly gains strength and vigor to the
frame—a fact worthy of great consideration. Tho
Bitters are pleasant in taste and in smell, and can
bo administered under any circumstances, to the
most delicate stomach. Indeed they can bo used
by all persons with the most perfect rafety. It would
be well for those who are much affected in the ner
vous systom, to commence with one teaspoonful or
loss, and gradually increase. We speak from ex
perience, and are, of course, a proper judge. The
press far and wide, have united in recommending
tho Gorman Bitters, and to the afflicted we most !
cordially advise thoir use.” 12 septl9 j

A Warning.—Delay not; liarbot
not i n your mind that sentence of fool’s
philosophy, that ;#disease will get well of itself,or
that you can cure it with certain medicines for a
few dollars. Beware how you tamper with your
general welfare.
Ye wild and vicious youths, why will ye persist j
in dosing with the filthy, nauseating compounds j
daily proffered, thereby impairing your appetite
and digestion, and destroying you mentally as well j
as physically, when you can be cured with a few
doses of pleasant medicines?
Yo rakes of every ago and condition, why will
yo suffer and repine and drag out a miserable ex
istence, unfitted for the enjoyment and even ordi
nary pursuits of life ? You who are thus acnoyed,
and wish to be restorod to health and vigor by a
treatment at once pleasant and effectual, should
consult Dr. Morris. His success in chronic dis
eases has been greater than that of any other phy
sician of his day. Many who have been for years
afflicted with disease or consequences resuiting
from excess have been restored to health and vigor
under his really scientific treatment.
Should a personal interview bo objectionable,
state your disease in writing—-enclose five dollars
—address Dr. W. H. Morris, through the Posts
Office, Nashville, Tenn., and a package of Medi
cines, socuroly put up, will be sent privately, and
with dispatch, full directions therewith, and no
questions asked.
Persons living at a distance, and afflicted with
Scrofula, Old Ulcers, Tetter Cancers, Piles, Fistula
In Ano, Gravel, Strictures, Gleets, or any disease
iwhatever of an aggravated or malignantcharacter,
can be cured at homo by consulting Dr. Morris,
by letter, post paid, enclosing a fee. These Medi
cines, pleasant and safe, can be sent per mail to any
part of the United States.
Particular attention given to the treatment ot
' female complaints. Ladies who may be afflicted
with irregularities, Flour Albus or Whites, Pro
lapsus Uteri or Falling of the Womb, would do
well to lay aside all false delicacy, and promptly
consult the Doctor. Cures Warranted.
