It affords us pleasure to state that Mr. W. G. RUTLEDGE, of this place, has secured the mail contraction on the new route from Ripley to Saulsbury, and that the mail is now regularly conveyed three times a week on this route. The first trip was made last Monday. The mail departs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and arrives on the following days. We also understand it is his purpose, in short time, to commence running a hack on this route. This is something very much needed at the present time; it will be a great public convenience; and we trust he will be sufficiently patronized to justified him in keeping it up.
