In the Chillicothe paper of the 23 instant, the detention of the Mail accounted for in the following manner:

"The Eastern mail-carrier arrived here on Friday evening last, (again) without any mail—we have, therefore two due. This disappointment, which may be attended with the most serious consequences to many of the citizens of this country, is said to have arose from a misunderstanding (or rather a trifling punctilio) between the two riders, who meet and exchange mails at Zanesville on the Muskingum, neither of whom would cross the river, (although no obstruction in the way) and make the exchange notwithstanding two mails were on the eastern and one on the western side.—

We trust an examination will be made into this most unpardonable misconduct, and those who may be found to be in the error, punished in such manner as will prevent the like in future."
