The Postmaster General is prohibited bv law from knowingly making a contract for the Irasportation of the mail with any person who shall have entered into any combination, or proposed toentcrinto any combination, to prevent the making ofany bid for a mail contract by I any other person or pc. sons, or who shall have made any agreement, or shall have given or performed, or promised to give or perform any con.-idt ration to do, or not to do anv thing whatever to induce any other person not to bid for a mail contract- Particular attention is called to Ihe 28th seCtirn of the ayt of 18 6, prohibiting combinations to prevent bidding. 12. A bid received after time, to wit: the 'o»h March next, at'.) a.in.,or without the guaranty required bylaw, or that conthinessev eral routes in one sum or compensa tion, cannot bo considered in ompetition w ith a regular proposal not adjuged to dc esfTavrga'nt. 13.

There should be but one route bid for in a proposal. 15. The route, the service, the y early pay, the bidder’s I name and residence, and the name of each member of the i firm, where a company offers, should he distinctly stated | —also the mode o r conveyance, if a higher mode titan ou 1 horseback is intended. 1(5.

Im mediately after the Ist April next, report that fact to ihe department,stating their exact distance from the railroad j depot, and how otherwise supplied w ith ihe mail, to enu- ! hie the Postmaster General to direct the proper supply | to he made from the railroad by mail messengers, from ! and after the Ist July next. 1!) Under the act of 3d March, 1815. the route is tn be i let to the lowest bidder, tendering sufficient guaranties - j for faithful performance, without reference to ihe mode 1 of transportation than maybe accessary to provide for ! the due celerity, certainty, and security of such trans portation. When the lowest bid proposes a mode of conveyance that is inadequate for the route in respect to the cerlain- I ty, security, and celerity of the mails, aside from any ac | cominodation for travel, it will not be entitled to the ! route -20. When the bid does not name a mode of conveyance, itwillbe taken arid understood to befor the lowest mode of ! conveyance to wit; on horebaek. When it proposes to carry according to ibe advertisement, and no mode of ! conveyance is stated for the route in the advertisement, i it will be considered as offering only for horseback con- i veyance. 21. Since the passage of the act of March 3, 1815, a new description ofhid has been received. It specifies no j inode of conveyance, but engages to carry the mail with I certainty,'celerity, and security, using the terms of the ! law. These bids are called, from the manner in which j | they are designated on the books ofllie department,* star | hid.” It has been decided, after mature consideration, | that a bid proposing a specific mode of conveyance of as high a grade as two horse conch franspni tr.tion is to he i preferred to the star bid. The experience of the depa t ment enables it to lay down tire following rules, viz: When the mail on the route is not -o large as to requira two horse coach conveyance, a star bid. if the lowest, will be preferred to the specific hid. 22. When the mails arc of such size and weight as to renderir necessary or expedient, in reference to them alone, to provide two-horse coach conveyance, the spe cific bid. though the highest will be preferred to the star 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 inthecost of transportation. Exceptions, however, may be allowed where the stir bid if made by the present owner of the stock on the route, and it is manifest tba"* the reasons for preferring the specific bid do not exist in his case. 23. On routes of the hsghest class, where four-horse coach or steamboat transportation is required by the size and importance of the mails, the preference for the spe cific bid will be, if necessary carried to a greater extent of difference than ou ’he inferor coach routes, subject, however, to the exceptions above stated. 24. A modification ofa bid, in any of its essentia! terms is tantamount to a new bid, and cannot he received, sons to interfere with regular competition, after the last hour set for receiving bids. < '• JOHNSON.

"®!E' r n have long regarded it as a most Imrniliat ilig re j v V flection upon the South, that no professedly neu i tral fami’y journal lias yet been sustained \v thin In r bor ders. We have tested the experiment whether such a i paper could not be supported at the immediate South, ! and though not wholly unsuccessful, onr experience has | taught ns that the papers of this class published in the large Northern cities, possess advantages over those of the country, which, in a measure, d fy competition. But bore the case is different. Baltimore, standing as it docs on the frontier of the Southern States, is yet near enough to the great commercial, literary and political emporium, to he included in the neighborhood of treat American I cities, and to enjoy all the advantages, as a radiating 1 point, which are possessed hy either Philadelphia, Boston j or Ni w York. A paper issued from Baltimore has all the j facilities for obtaining the latest literary intelligence, as , well as the current literature of the day. foreign and do j inestic, that are enjoyed by the journals of the Northern • cities. The Western Continent is as large, as cheap, j and can be better adapted to the wants and tastes of South ! erti readers, than those Northern papers which now draw | so largo an amount of their patronage front the Southern public. Entertaining these views, we have looked with confi ( deuce to the success of the Continent. Eight month’s j experience has tended to strengthen tlu.tconfidcnce, and | now we enter upon its publication w ith a firm conviction that all that is necessary to secure for it a circulation equal to that of its Northern cotemporarics, is a faithful and energetic de'—tion 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 be read with interest and profit by every member of a Southern ftmily.— With this view, we shall draw 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 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 matter, such as personal gossip, police reports, theatrical and other criticisms, which make up so large a portion oftlie staple of some of the popular weeklies of the North. In a word, though we shall endeavor to make our paper interesting to all, our chief aim shall be to adapt it to the wants and tastes oftlie people ofthc South and South-West, upon whom, 1 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 ami West for a share of that patronage 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 mailed to subscribers, at Two Dollars per annum, ’S advance.

Its character hitherto has been almost exclusively political. We purpose in future to devote a portion of its columns to domestic news of general interest, and to miscellane ous literature, w hich, without impairing it- political in fluence, may render it the more acceptable to an ex tended class of readers. The “SF-Ml-WI EKLY UNION” will he published every Monday and Thursday, during the recess of Con gress, at $5 per annum. This contains all the matter contained in the "Daily Union," except local advertise ments. During the sessions of Congress three numbers, instead of two, will be issued, without any extra charge i to subscribers. ENLARGEMENT OF THE WEEKLY UNION. | 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 which may appear in the daily and semi-w eekly editions, at the extremely low rate of $2. We 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 us for this enterprise, an extensive subscription list is absolutely indispensa ble. We seize this opportunity to add that some delay has taken place in putting our paper to press, w hich lias prevented its early delivery to our readers, and conse quently circumscribed its circulation. We shall make arrangements to remedy this defect, and to obviate this objection. After the present week wetrustthat nocom ' plaint will be made upon this subject. CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER. In addition to the foregoing, we have resolved to pub lish, during the session- of the national legislature, a “ Congressional Register," to be issued weekly, and to contain a full report of the dailyproceedingsand de bates of both houses. Indeed, the arrangements which we have made with the very best corps of reporters will enable us to give even inorefull and extended reports than we have produced during this session, superior as ; we claim them to be to any preceding ones. The Regis ter will be made up from the daily reports in the “Union,” carefully revised by an experienced editor, and will con stitute a complete and authentic record of the session. An appendix will he added, uniform with the Register, and to be sent gratuitously to subscribers, comprising a li't of the acts passed during the session, with a synopsis of their contents, and a reference, when necessary, to pre vious legislation. This wi'l form the most complete his j tory of the sessions of Congress, and will be furnished at the low price ofseventy-five cents Top the next session, | IT Postmasters are authorized to act as our agents; j and by sending us five yearly subscribers, with the sub scription money, for either the Daily, Semi-Weekly, or Weekly, will be entitled to one copy of the same edition as they furnish us subscribers for. XITThe Congressional Register will be furnished them on the same terms.

JAYNE’S ALTERATIVE^ INIIIS valuable preparation combines all the medicinal virtues of those articles, which ■ long experience has proved to possess the most safe ami efficient alterative and deobstruent properties, for the r use of Scrofula King's Evil, U hilt Sivell iusrs I leers. Scrofulous. Cancerous and Indolent i Tumours; Mercurial and Syphilitic Affections, I Rheumatism, Gout t Sctirvey , Neuralgia or 7Vc- . Douloureux, Cancer.

Nervous Diseases, | Dropsical Shillings, Constitutional Disorders and ] j diseases originating from a depraved or Impure • state of the Blood or other fluids of the body. The proprietor of this Alterative would most re spectfully assure tlie public that he has not offered ; this preparation to their notice without due reflec- I tion. and close and rigid study, nor until after twelve years’ experience had manifested it' great | superiority over every other article of the kind, — 1 and he now recommends it with confidence, fully believing that the above combination of medicine will effectually eradicate from the system a class of disease some of which have heretofore been con sidered incurable. lie lias prescribed it in almost every variety of j disease and with unparalleled success, especially in cutaneous affections, cancerous, scrofulous and scorbutic diseases, and diseases originating from obstruction or enlargement of the glands or impuri ty of the blood. Cancer and Cancerous Tumors. He has used this preparation in upwards oftwen- ! ty well defined cases of cancer and cancerous tu mors, and in every case but one with perfect and entire success. Bronchocele or Goitre, (Swelled Neck.) lie has prescribed it in over a hundred cases of goitre, and it has never failed in a single instance to completely remove the disease. Not a solitary case of failure. All were cured. The success he has met with in curing broncho cefe and cancerous affections lias convinced him that these dangerous and horrible diseases may be removed with as much certainty as Fever and Ague, lie does not w i>li to he understood as say ing that they can he cured as soon as Fever and ! Ague, bnt with as much certainty; and further, that j be has good reason for believing that this prepara- j tion will not only «ure these diseases when formed, i ! hut that it destroys the v irus or poisonous principle i j lurking in the system, from which that peculiar i class of diseases, as well as that of scrofula emanate. Scrofula—King's Evil. j This preparation has been used in numerous rases 1 ofScrofula, King's Evil, and scrofulous swellings, | : and always with the most deci led success. Skin Diseases. He has prescribed it in a great variety'of cutane j ous affections, and found it successful incuringsalt I rheum, or tetter, biles, blotches, pimples, inorphew ; and jaundiced skin, &c. Dyspepsia and Giver Complaint. It has been used in numerous cases of liver com plaint and Dyspepsia, and with the. happiest effect. Tic-Donlourenz. i It has been used in several cases of Neuralgia, i and in every case it was successful, Kheurnatism. This preparation has been prescribed in a great ; i many cases of chronic rheumaisrn, and in every ! i casein which it was used until the system became \ ! affected by the medicine, tlie disease was removed* j Gout. A number of rases of gout have been cored by | ] this preparation. In one of these cases, the man ! j had been afflicted with it so severely for thirteen j | years as to entirely disable him from business, and i for five months immediately previous to his taking j ! the Alterative he had been confined to his room; I hut before lie had finished the ihi rtf bot'le. lie was j enabled to walk about the streets and soon after re- ; turned to his business, from w hich he hud so long ! been excluded by bis afflictions. Dropsical Swellings, This medicine increases the powers of digestion, excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by I which watery or calcareous depositions, and all ; unnatural enlargements are reduced. It imparts | tone and vitality to the whole system, removing j sick and morbid headaches, giddiness, wandering . pains and nervous affections. In fact, in every ease where the medicine has been taken for sum < time, no matter for w pur pose, the general health of tiie patient has always been improved by it. 1 In conclusion, the proprietor would say that some j of the most astonishing cases of skin diseases, can cer. bronchocele ; and scrofula, have been cured by this medicine, that have ever been recorded; hot want of room in this sheet precludes their publica tion at this time. CANCER. j An interesting case cured hy Jayne's Alterative. In the spring of 1831, a cancerous tumor nppear : ed in the right breast of Mrs. Phoebe. wife of I'eter Stretch, of Salem, N. .1. It was examined by many Physicians, and was considered hy all as cancerous, and besides bore ail the characteristic marks of one. All probable means of removing it w ere used without the slightest benefit. It continued to in crease both in size and painfulness, until all hope of saving her life, but by a painful operation, was 1 abandoned, which, after a consultation ofeminent | Physicians, was performed, Jan. Ist, 1832, by Dr. John Rhea Barton, assisted hy Dr. Redman, the proprietor, and tw o other medical gent'ernen. The whole and entire right breast was retro’ed, and af 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, she was enabled, though broken in spirit, to get about again, remained feeble, and her general health was exceedingly bad, as in deed it had been for several years before. In the springof 1837, upwards of five years after herbreast had been removed, a painful tumor made its ap pearance on the right side, immediately over the part formerly occupied hy the nipple of the right breast, previous to its removal. This tumor steadi ly increased for several months, and became so painful as to deprived her of rest. The glands un der the right arm were enlarged; and scirrlms, and I a hard, irregular, and at times painful tumour, ap- i peared in the left breast. No operation could now j j arrest the disease. Indeed her whole body appear- 1 ed to be a mass of disease, ilerca.se was consul- i -ered hopeless. She was of a very scrofulous habit, j both her parents having died of Pulmonary con sumption. The experiment was now made with this Alterative, it was at first given in small doses, three times a day, and the doses very gradu- \ ally, but steadily increased daily, as long as she j took it, which was about six months, and the skin 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- j ing in size for about six weeks, and was at times j very painful, when the pain suddenly ceased alto gether, and the tumourswelled out at the base, and i 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, ami those in her right axilla were also dis persed. No cancerous or scrofulous tumours ever appeared afterwards; and her general health, w hich had been so had for fourteen years as to make life a burthen, was effectually ami permanently restored. The proprietor is in possession of the diseased breast, and those who choose may examine it. He w ould also say that he could mention over a dozen cases equally interesting, wherein his Alterative lias subdued cancer and cancerous tumours, but he has not room hereto record them. Mrs. Sarah Young, of Quinton’s Bridge, N. J., had a goitrous tumour on the left side of her wind pipe, as large as the half of an orange, w hich was cured by using this Alterative for about four months. Miss 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-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 but five years old, and coniinued gradually to in crease until she was nineteen, at w hich time she commenced using this Alterative, which she took for seven months, which entirely reduced tlie 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, sep 28 Jy 2 Sole Agent for Georgia. Legal, notices.
