As communities rise in civilization they read and write, and still rise as they increase their correspondence. The business of this office has always been large for the population. The colonists for a ye...ar went to Knoxville for their mails; and brought them thence once a week on horseback. During the winter of ISSY-S, the people of "Log City " took their letters from the window-sill of Bev. Mr. Gale ; and paid twenty-five cents for a letter from the East, and this for each separate piece of paper, however light or small. It was not long before the colonists rejoiced in a semi-weekly and then a tri- weekly mail. When Mr. Wm. H. Holcomb, of Knoxvile, advertised his stage to run from Peoria to Oquawka, and touch at certain flourishing villages, Galesburgwas not named.
