We understand that the government has made
arrangements to run an express from Boston to
New York, on the arrival of the next steamer, at
any time during next Sunday and also that the
Postmaster of Boston has given notice to the con-
ductors OF the railroads, to hold themselves readi
ness 10 run at any other time. We also learn that
arrangements made in two different quarters TO
convey the news by express from this city to Phia-
delphia, and probably 10 Baltimore and Washing
ton-so that it is probable that the important inte-
gence expected 10 arrive by the next steamer, Will
be expressed by railroad, from Boston 10 Washing
ton--a distance OF more than five hundred miles
and 1t may also be sent, in another direction, from
Boston 10 Buffalo, also distance of about five
hundred miles


The anxiety manifested in all quarters for the
next intelligence, is OF the most intense description
And although the government has now stepped INTO
the field OF enterprise, yet believe the public are
mainly indebted TO our individual efforts for the
public spirit manifested by the department. The
extraordinary enterprise which we have exhibited
during the past few years, has only driven our
contemporaries OF the press, but the Post-office
department and the government, to the necessity Of
initiating our good example. 1t is uncertain there
iore whether we shall or shall not run an express
on our own account, on the arrival Of the next
steamer-havlng succeeded in forcing the govern
ment TO do our work for Yet it would be a
singular circumstance, if by some infamous act'
on our part-as il is called by some of our contem-
poraries-we should be enabled TO beat the govern
inent again, before we quit the field finally One
good licking they all deserve, before we quit the
held OF Waterloo, and come under the power of
magnetism hereafter
