It will be un derstood that tho Boat leaves Harrisburg one day before tho Stage; yet wo have taken Passengers through to Wilkcsbarro in timo for tho Montroso stages, notwithstanding the tardy manner in-which the mail 13 brought from Harrisburg .to us at Nor thumberland. If any other persons had the convey ance of the mails from Harrisburg to Northumber land than those connected with the Boats, I would engage to start at the same hour with tho Boat at Harrisburg, and deliver the mail and the parsengcrs TWELVE HOURS sooner than the Boat Lino possibly can do it. When tho Company runs a stage from Northum berland to Wilkesbar're, the mail can arrive at Nor thumberland from Harrisburg by 11 o'clock, A. M.t but when tho Boat runs above, they then keen back the stage at Northumberland until 4 o'clock P. M. and sometimes as late as 7 o'clock, P. M. These are facts, which, if the Post Master General is not aware of, it is time he was made acquainted with them.
