UP-COUNTRY MAILS.

(to the editor.) Sir — I would not trouble you with the following few. lines in reply to F.i Wilcken'a letter of the 18th instant, only that it contains statements which need correcting, and also that he has refused! to accept our local Acting-Postmaster as 1 a sufficient authority, as to the delivery of the mails. In justice to the Postmaster in question, who he so unwarrantably attacked in his letter, and whose testimony he considers so valueless, allow me to state that the said Postmaster is well known in this district, and that he is highly respected by every person who has made his acquaintance, and considering that he has had the sole management of Mr M'Laughlin's business for, several years, both at Noble's and Napoleon's, including the Post Office at the latter place. I consider that he is perfectly justified in making statements which he knows to be true, with or without the authority of his employer. Nothing will satisfy Mr Wilcken/s but a proof signed by at least two business-men^' who have gota name." It is a pity he did not state what sort of name they are to bear. If he means a respectable name, and if I thought it was necessary to produce such a document, in addition to the proof I have already brought forward, I could easily get with the names of every respectable person in Napoleon attached, but as I consider the proof I have already brought forward sufficient I decline the trouble. As*to my statement iii my first letter as

to tramping twice a week for my letters, it is ao plain that I will refer him back to said statement. lam glad to see that the object sought by these letters is attained, as the mails are now duly delivered, and so long as they are I will be the last person to find fault with our meritorious mailman. lam,'&c, ■..
