INSTRUCT’ONS. 1. Seven minutes are allowed for opening and < losing the mails atall offices wb - re mo particular time is speci fied: but on railroad md steamboat routes there is to be *to more delay than is necessary to deliver and receive the bags. 2. The mail is to be conveyed in preference to passen gers .and to their entire exclusion, if its weight and bulk require it. '4. Tuil office blanks, mail bogs, and the special agent# I us the department, on the exhibition of their credentials, are to b# conveyed without further charge, on mail hues 1 admitting of such conveyance. 4. Mail agents are to be conveyed without charge on I the principal railroad and steamboat lines, where the size of the mails and the number of the officers w ill re quire their employment by the depur,meat; aud in that case,a separate apartment for the assorting and safe keeping of the mail is to be provided by the contractor, under the dircctiouof the department. 5. In ail cases there is to be a forfeiture of the pay of the ' rip, when the tr p 4s not run; a forfeiture of at least one-fourth part of >t when I he running or arrival is so far behind th- in as to lose the connexion ub a depending mail; and h forfeiture of a <fue proportion of it when a grade of service is rendered inferior to that in the con tract. These forfeitures may be increased into high penalties of higher , mount, according to the nature or frequeucy of the failure and the importance ot the mail. 6. Fines will be imposed, unless the delinquency be sa tisfactorily explained iu due time, forfailr.ig to take from, or deli; crat*a post office, the mail,or any part oi it; (or suffering it to be wet, iujmed, lost, or destroy* <1; lor con veying it in a place or manner that exposes it to depre dation. loss, orinjury; for i efusiug 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 i specified number of trip? in the contract, and fur nut ar ; riving at the time set; and for settingup or running an i express to transmit commercial intelligence in advance | of the mail, a penally will be exacted equal to a quarters j pay 7. The Postmaster General may annul the contract lor repeated failures; for violating Hie post office law s; for I disobeying the instructions of the depaitn cut; forndus ing to discharge a carrier when required by the depart ment; for assigning the contract without the consent of the Postmaster General, or for setli g up or runu . y an express as aforesaid. 8. The Postmaster General may alter the contract, and alter the schedule, he allowing a pro rata increase of compensation, within the restrictions imposed by law fr the additional service required, or for the increased j speed, if the employment of additional stock or carriers is i rendered necessary; but the contractor may, in such i case, relinquish the contract, on timely notice, if he pre fers it to the change. The Postmaster General may au i mil the contract or curtail the service, ami pay when be I wishes to dispense with the serv eo in whole or in part, I or place a higher or different grade of .service on the route, he allowing one mouth’s extra pay on the amount i dispensed with. «). The payments will be made through drafts on post f offices or otherwise, after the expiration of each quarter, aay in February,May. August, and November. 10. The distances are given acccordiug to the best in formation; but uo increased pay vv.ll be allowed, should they prove to be greater than is advertised, if the places are correctly named. 11. The Poslmasier General is prohibited by law frem knowingly making a contract for tbe trasportatimi uflhe mail with any person who shall have entered into any combination, or propose.! to cater into any combination, to prevent the making of any bit for a mail contract by any oilier person or pe.sous.or who shall have nruie any agreement, orsball have given or performed or promised to give or perform any consideration to do, or not to do anv thing whatever to induce any other person not to bid for a mail contract- Particular attention i- called to the 28th section of the act of 18 (J, prohibiting combinations to prevent bidding. 12. A bid-recehed after time, to v. it: the 'Otli March next, at 9 a.m.,or withoutt ie guaranty required by law, or that combines several routes in one sum or compensa tion, cannot be considered in competition with a regular | proposal notadjuged to-be extravagant, i 13. A bidder may offer, where the tr importation called I for in the advertisement is difficult or impraticabie at cer | tain seasons, to substitute a aiulerior mode of conveyance, j or to intermit service a speeded number of days, weeks, i or months. Hemaypropo eto omit an office that is inac j cessible, or is not on t e stage road, the railway, or at a 1 steam boat landing, as the case may be; or be may offer | to substitute an inferior mode of supply in sUcii cases : He may' propose different days and hours of departure . and arrival, provided no more rumiiiiv time is asked, and I it is obvious that no mail connexion or other public ac commodation is prejudiced. He may ask for more run ning time to the trip,during a specified nueioer of day s, at certain seasons oI peculiarly bad reads: but beyond these changes, a proposal for service different from tiie advertisement will.prevenl its being considered in com petition with a regular tiid not set aside for extravagance; aud where a bid contains any of tbe above alterations, their disadvantages will be estimated in comparing it with other proposals. 14. There slmubl be but one route bid for in a proposal. 15. The route, thfe service, the yearly pay, the bidder’s name and residence, aud the name of each member of the 1 firm, where a company offers, shoual be distinctly stated ' —also the inode o*‘ conveyance,if u higher mode than on i horseback is intended -16. The Iml should be sent underse;l, totbe First Assistant Postmaster General, w itli “Mail Pi oposaH I 1 in the State of written on the five of the I iter; and should be despatched in time to be relieved by or be fore the TOtii .March next, at 9 o’clock, a in. 17. The contracts are to be executed by or before the ■ Ist July next. 18. Postmasters at offices situated upon or near rail i roads, but more than eighty rods from a depot, will.lm j mediately after didst April n vt, ri port that fact to the I department .staling their exact di - nil - from Ibemi j road ! depot, and how otherwise supplied a ilb the mail,to ena i blc the Postmaster General to direct tile proper supply- I to be made from the. railroad by mail messengers, tVcm i and after the Ist July next. j 19 Under the act of3d March. 18-15. Tt.e rente i- to be let to the lowest bidder, tendering sufficient gun'-anttes for faithful performance, without reference to die mode | of transportation than may be necessary to provide for j the due celerity, certainty, and security of such trans , portation. When the lowest bid proposes a mode of conveyance I that is inadequate for tbe route in r sped to the enrtain ! ty. security - , and celerity of the mails, aside from any ae ■ coimuodaiiou for travel, it will not be entitled to flic | route 20. When tbe bid does not name a mode of conveyance, i it will be taken and understood lo befor tlielow estmoile of I conveyance to wit: on horebaek. When it proposes to carry according to the advertisement, and no mode of conveyance is stated for tbe route in the advei tisement, it will be considered as offering only for horseback con veyance. 21. Since the passage of tbe act of Afan il 3, 18 1.5, a new description ofbid lias been received. It specifies no mode of conveyance, but engages to carry tbe mail with certainty, celerity, and security, using tin; terms of tbe law. These bids are called, f;om the manner in which they are designated on the hooks of the department,* slur bid.'''' It lias been decided, after mature consideration, that a bid proposing a specific mode of conveyance of as high a grade as two horse roach transpoitatieu is to he preferred to tin- star bid. Tbe experience of the depa t uient enables it to lay down tiie following rules, viz : When tbe mail on the route is not.so large as to requira two horse coach conveyance , a star bid. if tiie lowest, will be preferred to the specific bid. 22. When the mails are of such size and weight as to render it necessary or expedient, in reference lo tlieia alone, to provide two-horse eoaeb conveyance, the spe cific bid. though the highest will lie preferred to tbe .-t at bid. to tbe extent of a moderate difference in the compen sation, in case tbe difference is not such as to interfere with the policy of the new law, which looks to a reduc tion i u the cost of transportation. Except ions, however, may be allowed where the stir bid ifinudc by tiie pre-cut owner of the stock on the route, ami it is manifest that the reasons for.preferring the specific bid do not exist in bis j case. 23. On rotates cf the hsgbest class, where four-horse | coach or steamboat transportation is required by the size and importance of the mails, the preference for tiie spe i cifie bid w ill be. if necessary carried to a greater extent | of difference than on 'he inferor couch routes, -abject, however, to the exceptions above stats I. 24. A modification of a bid, in any of its essential terms ; is tantamount to a new bid, and cannot be received, so as to interfere with regular -competition, afierthe h.s' hour i set for receiving bids. <■ JOHNSON.

Terms—Two Dollars, in adeanre. have lopg regarde d it. as a most humiliating re V V tiectioii upou me stanth, that no proic-.-edly nett tral!amiiy journal lias yet i>ecu sustained w thin In r bor ders. We have tested the experiment whether such a paper could not he supported at the immediate South, and though not wholly unsuccessful, our experience ha tn tight us that tae papers of this ( lass published in lh" large Northern ernes, possess advantages over tho.-c ot , the country, which, in a measure, d. fy compedtion. But | here the ease is different. Baltimore, stniciing as t docs ; on the 1 o tier of the Southern Stale s, is yet near enough i to the great commercial, literary ami political emporium, ' to he nit hided in the neighborhood of great American | cities, and to enjoy all the advantages, as a radiating . ; point, which are possessed by • iriier Philadelphia, Boston i.r.N w York. A paper issued from Baltimore has all the facilities for obtaining the latest literary intelligence, as i \v. lias the. current literature of the day. foreign and do m -stic, that are enjoyed by the journals of the North' rn | cities. The Western Continent is as large, as cheap, I and can be better adapted to the v. unis and tastes of South ern readers, than tb"-e Northern papers which now draw so large an amount of their patronage fruit t the Southern public. Jlntertainhig'Hiese views, we have looked with confi dence to (be success of the Continent. Eight month’s experience has tended to strengthen that confidence, and now wo enter upon its publication with a firm conviction that all that is iiece-sary to secure for it a circulation equal to that of its Northern cotentporuries, is a faithful and energetic dev of ion of our best abilities to make it a useful and enter alniiig Family Journal. It is our de sign to make the Wesiern Continent emphatically a Southern family paper, that may be read with intereit and profit by every member of a tsoutheru family. — With this view, wo shall draw for our literary depart ment, from tlie, best sources,such matter as will interest : and miie; tain the mind, without otlcudiog the las to or j corrupting the morals of our readers. Pains will betaken to give the atest intelligence on all ! subjects of interest to the general reader, to the exelu- 1 i sion of the vast amount of local main r. such as personal ! gossip, police reports, theatrical and other criticism-, i which make up so large a portion oftho staple of some of ! the popular weeklies of the North. In a word, though ; ! we shall endeavor to make our paper interesting to all, onr chief aim shall be In adapt it to tbs wants and tastes of the people of the South and South-We.- T, n poo whom, j and these of ot row u city who arc disposed to sustain j j such it Journal, we most mainly depend for support, i r lying mare upon the intrinsic merits of our paper, than on any promises we might inarke in a prospectus, ; we will close by appealing to the readers of the South and '•Vest for a share of that patronage which they so liberally bestow upon the overgrown weeklies of the !

JAYNE’S AETERATIV E. valuable preparation combines all the 0 medicinal virtues of those articles, which j lone experience has proved to possess the most safe and efficient alterative and <!» obstruent properties, for the cure of Scrofula Kind’s Evil, Whitt- Swell inns I leers; Scrofulous, Cancerous and Indolent Tumours; Mercurial and Syphilitic Affections, ■ Rheumatism, Oout i Scurvey.

Nervous Diseases, Dropsical Swellings, Constitutional Disorders and i diseases originating from a depraved or Impart I state of the Blood or other fluids of the body. The proprietor of this Alterative would most re | spectfully assure the public that lie has not offered j this preparation to their notice without due reflec j tion. and close and rigid study, nor until after ■ twelve years’ experience had manifested its great | superiority over every oilier article of the kind.— 1 and lie now recommends it with confidence, fully | believing that the above combination of medicine j will effectually eradicate from the system a class i of disease some of which have heretofore been Con sidered incurable. He has prescribed it in almost every vnri-ty of 1 disease and with unparalleled success, especially j 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 ami Cancerons Tmnors. lie has used tins preparation in upwards oftwen- I ty well defined cases of cancer and cancerous tu mors, and in every case but one with perfect and entire success. Rronchocelc or Goitre, (StveEnd Neck.) He has prescribed it in over a hundred cases of i | goitre,and it has never failed in a single instance | to completely remove the disease. Nut a solitary case of failure. All were cured. The success lie has met with in i iring broncho- 1 ! cole and cancerous affections has convinced him I that these dangerous and hurrii le df aces may he ■ i removed with as much certainty as Fever and | Agug. He does not wish to he understood assay* 1 ing that they can he cured as soon as Fever and i j Ague, but with as lunch certainty; and further, that j lie has good reason for believing that this nrepara | lion w ill not only < ure these diseases when formed, j but that it destroys the virus or poisonous principle I lurking in the system, from which that peculiar j class of diseases, as well as that of scrofula, emanate. Scrofula— King's ICvil. This preparation has been used in numerous cases ' ofScrofula, King’s Evil, and scrofulous swellings, and always w ith the most deci led success. Skin Diseases. He has prescribed it in a great variety of CMtane j ous affections, and found it successful in curing salt rheum, or tetter, biles, blotches, pimples,morphew i and jaundiced skin, dec. Dyspepsia mid Liver Com plaint. It has been used in numerous cases of liver com : plaint and Dyspepsia, and w ith the happiest effect. Tic-Do«!oureu”. 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 . j 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 8 Gout. A number of rases of gout have been cured by j this preparation. In one ol these cases, the man j had been afflicted with it so severely for thirteen ; years as to entirely disable him from business, and 1 for five months immediately previous to his taking | the Alterative he had been confined to his room; j but before, lie had finished the third bottle, he was ; enabled to walk about the streets and soon after re , turned to his business, from which fie had so long | been excluded by his afflictions. Dropsical Swellings, j This medicine increases the powers of digestion, I excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by 1 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 where the medicine has ' been taken for some time, no matter for w li tpur i pose, the general health of the patient lias always ! been improved by it. In conclusion, the proprietor would say that some j of the most astonishing cases ot skin diseases, can- I J cor, bronchocele, and scrofula, have been cured by 1 this medicine, that have ever been recorded; but want of room in this sheet precludes their publica tion at tins time. CANCER. j An interesting case cured by Jayne's Alterative. In the spring of 1831. a cancerous tumor appear ed in the right breast of.Mrs. Phoebe, wife of Peter 1 Stretch, of Salem, N..J. ii was examined by many Physicians, ami was considered in .til as cancerous, and besides bore ail the characteristic marks of 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 I of saving her life, hut by a painful operation, was i abandoned, which, after a consultation of eminent ! Physicians, was performed, Jan. Ist, 1832, by Dr. i John Rhea Barton, assisted by Dr. R< iman.the I proprietor, ami two other medical gentlemen. The. j whole and entire right breast was remold, and af ter examination of the tumor, was pronounced by all present a cancer of the most malignant charac ter. In about three months,afterendnring iiicmli- j ble sufferings, she was enabled, though broken in j spirit, to gel about again. She remained feeble, ami tier general health was exceedingly bad, as in deed it had been for several years before, in the spring of 1837. upwards of five years after her breast had been removed, a paintul tumor made its ap pearance on the right side immediately over the 1 part formerly occupied by the nipple of the right breast, prc\ ions to its removal. This tumor sleadi- \ ly increased for several mouths, an 1 became so painful as to deprived her of rest. The glands un derthe right arm were, enlarged; and scinhiis, and a hard, irregular, and at limes painful tumour, ap peared in the left breast. .No operation could now | arrest the disease. Indeed her v\ hole body appear ed to be a mass of disease. Her case was coin-id- ! ered hopeless. She was of a very scrofulous habit, : both her parents having died of Pulmonary con- I sumption. The experiment was now made with i | this Alterative. It wac at first given in small j doses, three times a day, and the doses very g radii ! ally, hut steadily increased daily, as long as site | ; took it, which was about six months, ami the skin j over and around the tumour was wet night and morning with a strong solution of lodine and Hy | driodate Potash. The tumour continued increas | iug iu size for about si<- weeks, and was at times very painful, when the pain suddenly ceased alio- I getlier, and the tumour swelled out at the base,and 1 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, and those in Iter right axilla were also dis persed. No cancerons or scrofulous tumours e\er appeared afterwards; and her general health, w Inch had been so bad for fourteen years as to make life a burthen, was effecually ami permanently restored. The proprietor is in possession of the diseased breast, and those who choose may examine it. He j w ould also say that he could mention over a dozen | cases equally interesting, wherein his Alterative j lias subdued cancer and cancerous tumours, hut he has not room here to recortf them. Mrs. Sarah Young, of Quinton’s Bridge, N. J., j had a goitrous tumour on the left side of her wind i pipe, as large as the half of an orange, w hich was i cured by using this Alterative for about four months. 3li-s 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 j 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 continued gradually to in crease until she was nineteen, at w hich time she | commenced using this Alterative, w hich she took for seven months, which entirely reduced the en largement; ami she has now as smooth and pretty a neck as can he 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. sen 28 ly 2 Sole Agent for Georgia. BUSINESS CARDS. B.

AM’S IJVER AND DYSPEPTIC MS'DJICINE. n N oIT-ring tlt is valuable medicine to the people of Georgia,for the relict and cure of many dis eases incident to a, southern climate, 1 do not claim fur it infalihility; neither do 1 say it will cure all diseases. But in Chronic Liver Affections and Dys pepsia, i can confidently advise and recommend’its use. from my personal observation and use of the article in my own practice. This article is favora bly received wherever it has been usmj. lam al lowed to n-f r to Mr. George Heard of Troup, .Mr. John Warren of Columbus, Mr. McKaffee of Cobb, -Mr. As bury Hull of Athens, .Mr. William D. Ter rell ot Putnam, Rev. John E. Dawson of Lagrange; to which a great number of names might he added, who bear their testimony to its value. Dr. Henry Branham has used this medicine in his own case, and lias prescribed it to many others, gives it as his opinion, that it is one. of the safest and most valua ble medicines that can be used in imperfect diges tion, li\t-r complaints, constipation and irregular state of the bowels. It is useful in bilious com plaints, to persons recovering from bilious fevers, and in sick or nervous head-ache. To pregnant women, who are subject to costiveness, this medi cine is wsffl suited. In regulating the state of the stomach and bowels, and promoting digestion, it is | particularly useful. I 1 could append a lont: list of certificate*, but for bear, prefering to rely on the virtues of the rnetii cine to sustain itself. The medicine is a gentle I and certain cathartic, tonic and sudorific. JOEL BRANHAM, Eatouton,Ga. Price $1 —For sale by march 11 A. G. WILLIS. CiAMPiimi: oil —Thisarticle is to be had J fresh,at J E.
