In this way we view the epizootic, and yet others seem to be profiting by it. The contractors between Santa 3?e and Pueblo, were not carrying the mails at latest accounts because of said epizootic. The Borderer, at Las Cru ces, endorses an Albuquerque writer's complaint " that the mail company 'east of Santa Fe do not get the mails through when private parties ' do ; " and further, on last Saturday, says in this connection : Colonel J. F. Bennett writes us under date of the 19 th, from Santa Fe, that tho epizootic is reported with in thirty miles of that place. Busi ness is exceedingly dull on account of the stoppage ot mails and express cast. He will remain another week to watch tho progress of the disease and take precautionarj' measures with the stock of the company. He says he is determined not to lose a single mail if there is impossibility of prevent in jj it.
