| We do not learn whether any
steps have been taken to re-establish mail facilities to all points
now outside the Federal lines, but if not, it should be done at once.
Communication is, we learn entirely uninterrupted as far North as Horn
Lake {Mississippi & Tennessee RR}, and
there is no reason why the people of Panola and DeSoto counties should
remain isolated a single day. Had it not been for the unwise act of
our own friends in destroying the long bridge across the Tallahatchie,
railroad trains could be run as formerly, to Cold Water, without
interruption in a very few days; but the absence of this facility can
be overcome, and the public who have suffered so much accommodated.
Will not the special agents of the Post Office Department give this
matter their earnest and early attention. |
