There are now but few papers pub. lished in the South, and owing to the interrption of mail facilities even these cannot be received by patrons and iews paper offices as exchanges. In conse quence therefore, our columns presents, at times, a very neagro appearance in the point of news. Va'rietyg it. is said, is the spice of life, and we are fully veri. - fying' the adage by publishing one.day a large amount of news and fotwo oi three days following, devoting our space to old miiscellaneous extracts, &c. Of course . our patrons will overlook our short comings. We hope that, ere long everythingsvill be in order again, and we receive our exchange papers regu larly, when we can fill our columns with more thorough and regular news matter. .
