   We are pleased to learn, as we do from the Columbus Sun, that arrangements have been perfected by the post office department to have the mails carried east. They will be forwarded to Albany, then across the country to Thomasville, thence, via Atlantic & Gulf Railroad to Savannah, Augusta and beyond. This will make the time between Montgomery and Richmond but little longer than that formerly employed, when mails were carried on the Central road. Albany is in southwestern Georgia, and the terminus of a railroad leading from Macon -- the Southwestern. The distance thence to Thomasville is about sixty miles. This arrangement is now in operation.
