We understand that an agent of the Post Office Department has arrived to make some arrangement with Mr. Caldwell relative to the transportation of the mails. We have reason to believe, from the fact that the Department has signified a willingness to settle the account of the company, and to continue the contract until the first of January, that something will be effected, although this will be objectionable to the company, who desire to finish their present contract, which expired on the 1st July, 1854; but still there is every reason to hope there will be an adjustment of the difficulty.
