From the Richmond Daily Dispatch
 
November 14, 1861
  
The Postal affairs
   The burning of several bridges on the railway lines through East Tennessee, and we believe in upper Georgia, has induced the Post-Office Department to send forward special agents to points where travel and transportation have been interrupted, in order that all possible facilities may be employed to send forward the mails. The main trains will only be run in the day time.
   Engines and cars are on each side of the burnt bridges, at the proper time, to convey passengers and mails with as great dispatch as possible.
