INSTRUCTIONS. 1. Seven minutes are allowed for opening and closing the mails atail offices where no particular time is speci fied; but on railroad and steamboat routes there is to be no more delay than is accessary to deliver aud receive the bags. 2. The mail is to be conveyed in preference to passen irers .and to their entire exclusion, if its weight and bulk require it. 3. Post office blanks, mail bags, and the special agents 1 of the department, on the exhibition of tbeir credentials, are to be conveyed without turther charge, on mail lines admitting of such conveyance. 4. Mail agents aie to be conveyed without charge on the pnucipal railroad and steamboat lines, where the size of the mails aud the number of the officers will re quire their employment by the depar meat; ami in that case,a separate apartment for the assortiug and s ite keepiug of the mail is to be provided by the contractor, uuder the direction of the department. 5. In all case* there is to be a forfeiture of the pay of the trip, when the tr p is not run; a forfeiture of at least one-fourth part of it when the running or arrival is solar behind tin m as Co lose the connexion with a depending mail; and h forfeiture of a due proportion of it when a grade of service is rendered inferior to that in the con tract. These forfeitures may be lucreaced into high penalties of higher mount, according to the nature or frequency of the failure and the importance oi the mail. 6. Fines will he imposed, unless the delinquency be sa tisfactorily explained in due time, for failing to take front, or deliter at, a post office, the mail.or any part of it; for suffering it to be w et, injured, lost, or destroyed; lor con veying it iu a place or manner that exposes it to depre dation, loss, oriujury; for refusing after demand to con vey a mail by any coach, railroad car, or steamboat, w hich the contractor regularly runs on the route beyond the specified number of trips in the contract, und for not ar riving at the time set; and for setting up or running an express to transmit commercial intelligence in advance of the mu il, a pi nalty will be exacted equal to a quarter's pay f. The Postmaster General may annul the contract for repealed failures; for violating the post office laws; for disobeying the instructions of the depaitmcnt; for refus ing to discharge a carrier when required by the depart ment; for assigning the contract »il bout the consent of the Postmaster General, or for setli g up or rutinii.g an express a* aforesaid. 8. The Postmaster General may alter the con’rart, and alter the schedule, he allowing a pro rata increase of compensation, within the restrictions imposed hy law’, for the additional service required, or for the increased speed, if the employ meat of additional slock or carriers is rendered necessary; but the contractor may, in such ease .relinquish the contract, on timely notice, if he pre fers Uto the change. The Postmaster General may an nul the contract or curtail the service, and pay when he wishes to dispense w ith the eerv ce in whole or in part, or place a higher or different grade of service on the route, he allowing one mouth’s extra pay ou the amount dispensed with. 9. The payments will be made through drafts on post offices or otherwise, after the expiration of each quarter, say iu February,May. AugUit, and November. 10. The distances are, given acccording lo the best in formation; but no increased pay will be allowed, should they prove to be greater than is advertised, if the places are correctly named. 11. The Postmaster General is prohibited by law from knowingly making a contract for the trasportation of the mail with any person who shall have entered into any’ combination, or propose.! to enter into any combination, to prevent the making of any bid for a mail contract by any other person or peisons, or who shall have made any agreement, of shall have given or performed or promised to give or perforin any consideration to do, or not to do any thing whatever to induce any other person not to bid for a mail contract. Particular amotion is culled to the 28th section of the act of IS- 6, prohibiting combinations to prevent bidding. 12. A bid received after time, to wit : the 10th March next, at 9 a. in., or Without the guaranty required by law, or that combines several routes in one sum or compensa tion, cannot be considered in competition with u regular proposal not adjngrd to be extravagant. 13. A bidder may offer, where the tr; exportation called for in the advertisement is difficult Or impraticable at cer tain seasons, to substitute :* uinferior mode ofcouvcyance, or to intermit service a speeded number of days, weeks, or mouths, He may propo eto omit an office that is inac cessible, or is not on t e stage road the railway, or at a steam boat landing, as the case may be; or he may offer to substitute an inferior mode ofsupply in such cases He may propose different days and hours of departure and arrival) provided no more running time is asked, and it is obvious that no mail connexion or other coininodalion is prejudiced. He may ask for more ow ning time to tile trip .during a specified number of days, at certain seasons of peculiarly bad reads; but beyond these changes, apropos.il for service different from the advertisement will prevent its being considered in com petition with a regular bid not set a-ide for extravagance; aud whertra hid contains any of the above alterations, their disadvantages will be estimated in comparing it with other proposals. 14. There should be but one route bid for in a proposal. 15. The rotWe, the service, the yearly pay, the bidder’s name aud residence, and the name of each member of the firm, where a company offers, should be distinctly stated —also the inode of conveyance, if a higher mode than on horseback is intended. 16. The bid should be sent under seal, addressed to the First Assistant Postmaster General, With “Mail Proposals in the State of written on the face of the l> tier; and should be despatched in time to be receevcd by or before the 10th March next, at 9 o’clock, a. m. 17. The contracts are to be executed by or before the Ist July next. 18. Postimiffiers at offices situated upon or near rail roads, but more than eighty rods from a depot, will. Im mediately after the Ist April next, report that fact to the department,stating their exact distance from the railroad depot, and how otherwise supplied w ith the mail, to ena ble the Postmaster General to direct the proper supply to be made from the railroad by mail messengers, from and after the Ist July next. 19 Under the act of 3d March. 1845. the route is to he let to the lowest bidder, tendering sufficient guaranties for faithful performance, without reference to ihemode of transportation than maybe necessary to provide for the due celerity, certainty, and security of such Iruus portation. When 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. When the biddoes not name a mode ofeonveyance, itwill be taken and understoodto be for the lowest mode of coitvei’ance to wit: on horebaek. When it proposes to carry according to the advertisement, and no mode of conveyance is stated for the route in the advertisement, it will be considered as offering only for horseback con veyance. 21. Since the passage of the act of March 3, 1845, a new description ofbid has been received. It specifics no mode of conveyance, lint engages to carry the mini with certainty, celerity, and security, using the terms of the law. These bidsare called,from the manner in which they are designated on the books of the department, “star bid.” It lias been decided, after mature consideration, that a bid proposing a specific inodenf conveyance of as high a grade as two horse coach transportation is to be preferred to the star bid. The experience of the depa t ment enables it to lay down the following rules, viz : When the mail on the route is not so large as to require two horse coach con vcyancf . a star bid. if the lowest, will be preferred t<s the specific bid. 22. When the mails are of such size and weight as to render it necessary or expedient, in reference to them alone, to provide two-horse coach conveyance, the spe cific Lid. thoueh 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 iuthe cost of transportation. Exceptions, however, may be allowed where the star bid if made by the present owner of the slock on the route, and it is manifest that the reasons for preferring the specific bid do not exist in his case. 23. On routes of tho 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 ext ent of difference than on the inferor coach routes, subject, however, to the exceptions above stated. 24. A modification ofa bid, in any of its essential terms is tantamount to a new bid, aud cannot be received, so as to interfere with regular competition, after the last hour set for receiving bids. C.

Thompson, author of ''Major Jones' Courtship,” “ Chronicles of Pine ville,” 4'c. 4'c. Terms—Two Dollars, in advance. WE have long regarded it as a most humiliating rc flection upon 1 tic S?outii, that no professedly ncu tral family journal has yet heeu sustained within her bor ders. We have tested the experiment whether such a paper could not be supported at the immediate South, : and though not wholly unsuccessful, our experience has taught us that the papers of this class published in the ; large Northern cities, possess advantages over those of | the country, which, in a measure, defy competition. Hut | here the case is different. Baltimore, standing as it does j on the fionticr of the Southern States, is yet near enough ; to the great commercial, literary and political emporium, ! to he included in tile neighborhood of great American I cities, and to enjoy all Hie advantages, as a radiating point, which are possessed by either Philadelphia, Boston ■ or New York. A paper issued from Baltimore has all the ; facilities for obtaining the latest literary intelligence, as : well as the current literature of the day, foreign and do- j meslic, that are enjoyed by the journals of the Northern j cities. The Western Continent is as large, as cheap, ! and can he better adapted to the wants and tastes of South- j eru readers, than those Northern papers which now draw ! so large an amount of their patronage from the Southern public. j Entertainingthese views, we have looked with confi- j deuce to ilia success of the Continent. Eight month’s experience, has tended to strengthen thutconfidcnce, 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 cotemporaries, is a faithful and energetic devotion of our best abilities to make it a useful and entertaining Family Journal. It is our dc-, . sign to make the Western Continent emphatically a. I Southern family paper, that may be read with interest ‘ and profit by every member of a Southern family.— With this view, we shall draw for our literary depart- j ment. from the best sources.such matter as will interest i and entertain the mind, without offending the taste or ‘ corrupting the morals of our readers. Pains will he taken to give the latest intelligence on all i subjects of interest to tlte general reader, to the exclu- 1 sion of the vast amount oflocal matter, such as personal i gossip, police reports, theatrical and other criticisms, j which make up so iargea portion ofthe staple of someof the popular weeklies of the North. In a word, though I we shall endeavor to make our paper interesting to all, our chief aim shall he to adapt it to the wants and tastes ofthe people ofthe South and South-West, upon whom, i 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 w hich they so j liberally bestow upon the overgrown weeklies of the 1 North. Terms— The Western Continent is printed on a mam- I moth sheet of3o hy 44 inches, ou fair type, and securely mailed to subscribers, at Two Dollars per_ annum, 'n advance.

THE WASHINGTON UNION. 11IIE “DAILY UNION” will be published, as herc . tofore.at $lO per annum, payable in advance. Its character hitherto has been almost exclusively political. We purpose iu future to devote a portion of its columns to domestic news of general interest, and to miscellane ous literature, which, without impairing its political in fluence, may render it the more acceptable to an ex tended class of readers. The “SEMI-WEEKLY UNION” will he published every Monday and Thursday, during the recess of Con gress, at $5 per annum. This contains till the matter 1 contained in i\u>“ Daily Union," except local advertise ments. During the sessions of Congress three numbers, | instead of two, will be issued, without any extra charge 1 to subscribers. EJiIARUEMENT BE THE WEEKLY L’Mft.V, | The “WEEKLY UNION’” is issued every Saturday; ; and as arrangements arc in progress to enlarge it to | near double its present size, wo shall soon be enabled to I give nearly every article which may appear in the daily and semi-weekly editions, at the extremely low rate of | $2. We propose aisotogive, in this edition, a complete I synoptical summary of the proceedings in both houses : of Congress—thus rendering the “Weekly Union” a j most valuable channel of information to all classes of | our country. But, to remunerate us for this enterprise, i an extensive subscription list is absolutely indispeusa | hie. Wo seize this opportunity to add that some delay has i taken place in putting our paper to press, which has 1 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 we trustthut no com plaint will be made upon this subject. CONOR USSR)N A L REG ISTER. In addition to the foregoing, w e have resolved to pub -1 lish, during the sessions of the national legislature, a j “Congressional Register to be issued weekly, and to ; contain ;* full rkportol" the dailyproceedingsand de -1 bates of both houses. Indeed, the arrangements which , we have made with the very best corps of reporters will I enable us to give even morefull and extended reports 1 than we have produced during this session, superior as j we claim them to be loany preceding ones. The Regis | ter will he madeitp from the daily reports in the “Union,” i carefully revised by an experienced editor.and wiltcon | stitute a complete and authentic record of the session. An appendix will be added, uniform with the Register, i 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, when necessary, to pre vious legislation. r J his wi 1 form the most complete his i tory of the sessions of Congress, and will be furnished at j the low price ofsEVENTY-FivE CENTsfor the next session.

PATENT MEDICINES, i JAYNE’S ALTERATIVE^ , fWIHIS valuable preparation combines all the \ JI medicinal virtues of those articles, which long experience has proved to possess the most safe - and efficientalterative and deobstruent properties, j forthe cure of Scrofula King's Evil, h hite Swell | ings Ulcers; Scrofulous, Cancerous and Indolent I Tumours; Mercurial and Syphilitic Affections, ; Rheumatism, Gout, Scurrey, Neuralgia or Tie- Donlourtux, Cancer, Goitre or Bronchorele, [swelled Keck,] enlargements of the Rones.

Nt rvous Diseases, 1 Dropsical Swellings, Constitutional Disorders and i diseases originating from a depraved or Impure 1 state of the Blood or other fluids of the body. ; The proprietor of this Alterative would most re : Fpectfully assure tlie public that he has not offered | this preparation to their notice without due retlee | lion, and close and rigid study, nor until after twelve years’ experience had manifested its ureat ; superiority over every other article of the kind.— j 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 | of disease some of \\ inch luive heretofore been con sidered incurable. He has prescribed it in almost every variety of 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 of ;\ven ty well defined cases of cancer and cancerous tu mors, and in every case hut one with perfect and entire success. Bronchocelc or Goitre, (Swelled Neck.) He has prescribed it in over a hundred cases of goitre, and it has never failed in a single instance to completely remove the disease. Nut u solitary case of failure. All were cured. The success he has met with in curing hronrho cele and cancerous affections has convinced him that these dangerous and horrible diseases may he removed with as much certainty as Fever and Ague. He does not w ish to he understood as say ing that they can be cured ns soon as Fever and Ague, but with as much certainly; and further, that i lie has good reason for believing that this prepara- I tion w ill not only < ore these diseases w hen formed, | hut that it destroys the virus or poisonous principle j lurking in the system, from which that peculiar ; class of diseases, as well as that ul scrofula emanate. Scrofula—King's Evil. ! This preparation has been used in numerous rases 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 ous affections, and found it successful in curing salt rheum, or tetter, biles, blotches, pimples, morphew and jaundiced skin,&c. Dyspepsia and Diver 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 j casein which it was used until the system became | affected by the medicine, the disease was removed 9 Gout. A number «f cares of gout have been cured hy j this preparation. In one of these cases, the man | had been afflicted with it so severely for thirteen I years as to entirely disable him from business, and | for live months immediately previous to his taking I the Alterative lie had been confined to ids room; j but before he bail finished the third bottle, he was j enabled to walk about the streets and soon after re j turned to his business, from which he had so long been excluded hy his afflictions. Dropsical Swellings. This medicine increases the pow ers of digestion, excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by which watery or calcareous depositions, and all 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 w here the medicine has been taken for some time, no matter for vvh.-t pur pose, the general health of the patient has always been improved by it. In conclusion, the proprietor would say that some of the most astonishing cases of skin diseases, can cer, bronchocele, and scrofula, have been cured by this medicine, that have ever been recorded; but want of room in this sheet precludes their publica tion at this lime. CANCER. An interesting case cured by Jayne's Altera tire. In the spring of 1831, a cancerous tumor appear ed in the right breast of Mrs. Phoebe, wife of Peter j Stretch, of Salem, N. J. It was examined hy many Physicians, and was considered hy all as cancerous, j and besides bore all the characteristic marks of j one. All probable means of removing it were used j without the slightest benefit. It continued to in- ! crease both in size and painfulness, until all hope j of saving her life, but hy a painful operation, was j abandoned, which, after a consultation of eminent | Physicians, was performed. Jan. Ist, 1832, by Dr. ; John Khea Barton, assisted by Dr. Redman, the ! proprietor, and two other medical gentlemen. The j whole and entire right breast was removed, and af ter examination of the tumor, was pronounced by ■ all present a cancer of the most malignant charac ter. In about three months,aftereudiiring incredi ble sufferings, she was enabled, though broken in spirit, to get about again. She remained feeble, and her general health was exceedingly bad, as in- j 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- j 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 tin- j der the right arm were, enlarged; and scirrhus, and a hard, irregular, and at limes painful tumour, ap peared in the left breast. No operation could now arrest the disease. Indeed Iter whole body appear ed to be a mass of disease. Her rase was consid ered hopeless. She was of a very scrofulous habit, both her parents having died of Pulmonary con sumption. 'l’he experiment was now made with this Alterative. It was at first given it! small doses, three times a day, and the doses very gradu ally, but steadily increased daily, as long as she ( 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 driodate Potash. The tumour continued increas- J ing in size for about six weeks, and was at times painful, when the pain suddenly ceased alto- i gelher.and the tumour swelled out at the base, and j became soft, and then began to diminish, and con- j tinned gradually decreasing until every vestige of 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 her general health, which i had been so had for fourteen years as to make lib- a 1 burthen, was effectually and permanently restored, j 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 rases equally interesting, wherein his Alterative has subdued cancer and cancerous tumours, but lie has not room here to record them. Mrs. Sarah Young, of Quinton’s Bridge, N. J,, had a goitrous tumour on the left side of her wind- j pipe, as large as the half of an orange, w hich w as cured by using this Alterative for about four ! months. Miss R S .South Fourth-street, Phila- I delphia, was also cured of an enlargement of the throat, which filled the entire space 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 cunlinned gradually to in crease until she was nineteen, at w hich tune 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.
