Itte¢at Maw Carriers —We learn that Noah E Smith, the efficient mail agent, seized upon some two hundred Istters in the porses- sion of Adams & Co’s Express agent, while crossing the Isthmus, between this point and California. Itis said that the express Com- panies are in the babit of carrying large num bers of letters outside the mail, which they deliver in California, collecting postage the same, to the injary of the Post Office De- partment. There is a heavy penalty attached to this infringement of the law, and we see no reason why it should not be enforced.
