Our correspondent "Jusice" has honored us
with long communication, upon the subject of
Mails in this State; and in it, has furnished some
excellent hints upon that subject, and shows that
he has had some mature reflection in regard to it.
We regret that our limits will not admit the
whole communicaton-some 81 columns. We
much prefer short epistes and frequent, to ar.
tices of that length. However as en-" the
Batesvie correspondent of the Arkansas Gazette
states that bids have been made to the Post-rnas.

who may cultivate either, corn or cotton, with
the greatest success. White River is navgnble
to the mouth of Black River, the entire year,
and during much of the year, for much greater
distance. Black River is also navigable, far
up as Pocahontas, for sufiicen. period, to trans

finest regions Of country in the World. The
people of the north. therefore, have a right to
claim the best facilities, not only as a means Of
accommodation TO the present worthy and en-

"Justice" has canraSSed the whole ground, and
is close observer of the capabilities and wants
Of the country through which he travels, and We
place great reliance in his judgment upon such
matters.


We trust that soon as the Batesville Sland-

communication will be used to develope the val
liable resources of the North. We will most
readily lend our columns in aid Of that OBJECT.
