Congress is in session. The fault is in some Post Office, but which we do not know, proln bly the one at Richmond or Washington. It this should meet the eye of the Fust Master or Tost Master's cletk, who puts the papers I R for Cheraw into the Charleston or Augusta ! h baa, he is informed that if he will put them ! ft with the Raleigh and Fayetteviil- papers they | u will reach their destination much earlier than g they now do. ol 11 avina a new C irri-r sum of?>ur town ! rsubscr.b? rs may not receive tli'-ir pipers .

From the sketch furnished by be cap- j tionsot what was done, meagre and unsafis- , h factory as it is, the reader will learn what ^ 0 was not done. In North Caroin?., the ; w publishers ot newspapers at the seat of p govemmen , prepare at the close ol each I n session of the Legislature, a list of all j v the ac's pass d, with a briel s'a'ement of the ; e provis.ons of each, when not luily cx;>Iaiu? d by ! the caption. These lists are published ui l!?c ' the p ipers, and in hand bdi form.
