Perhaps the suspension of our paper fo two weeks, requires an explanation.

In tho Summer season, the eonsister ifWirthi Molasses if the roller were too sol ?in the Winter, if not made sufficiently sol and pliant, it would become too hard. W were unable to procure tho right kind c glue here, and although our type was all up, after some dozen attempts or more t make a roller of the material we had, w were finally compelled to send off for glut Wo have a supply now, and a good rolle and hope to be punctual hereafter. We ni willing to mako up the loss to our subscr bers, by extending their subscriptions tw weeks longer; so, in the end they will los iiuiniDg.

Charleston and the Fall Trade- tl Some time ago, we wrote an ar ticlo on c< the above subject, which has been noticed c by seveial papers in this State, amongst oth- 1 crs, the IS'ewberry Sentinel. We can assure our friend of the Sentinel , it wis very far from our intention to prejudice Country Merchants against Charleston Merchants. We wished to murk out an error, tho correction of which, would redound , to the benefit of the beloved city of our nativity. I But few Country Merchants will visit Charleston this Winter. The yellow faver will either drive them North, or, otherwise 1 compel them to order. Tho pestilence raging in Charleston at 1 this time, will take thousands, yes hundreds | of thousands of dollars away, which would I have been poured into her lap. Why?? ( There arc wo are told fine stocks in Charleston ! Country Merchants do not liko to order. We know some, who will not order. Tho two last cases of ordering goods from this district, and from different houses, wo know in both coses tho gentlemen who ordered. were most egrcgiously "sucked in." Did we not care, and tnko an interest in the prosperity of Charleston, wo would not speak thus. True, wo admit it, Merchants in New York and Philadelphia, may also bike the advantage, but, it is no reason that Charleston should imitate their example, rather should it influence h?r Merchants to do otherwise. There is not a citizen in the State we presume, but desires to see Charleston pros per. The late disastrous gale, and now the fatal scourge raging in her midst, causes the tear to drop from many an eye, and tho sigh to escape from many a bosom ; but must \vc behold glaring faults, and shutting our eyes, say, go on gentlemen, humbug our green ones, so you make Charleston a great com! mercial city ? Nay, we cannot, we will not. j We wish every Country Merchant would purchase in Charleston. State pride, yes National j ride, should determine them withi out the least hesitation. The expressions of the New York Press, are enough to arouse th" indignation of every Merchant and man in the South ; yet, we would say to . Charleston Merchants, secure the custom of , your Country friends, by fair, honerable dealing ' The Post Office Department, and the 8outh Carolina Rail RoadQuite an interesting correspondence wo find in the Carolinian in relation to the 1 transportation of the mails on tho South Carolina ltait Road. The Post Office De partinent has been paying for this service? the transportation ol the mails from Charr leston to Augusta and Columbia?$237.50 per-inile. The Company aro required now y to run night trains instead of day traius ; to if do this, und at the same time uccouimoduto a the public, and secure their own interest, it would be necessary to place au additional i. train on the road.

HEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE. ?? ro tub Editor or Lancaster Ledger. h< Dear Sir:?With Saturday the 9th 1,1 nL closed the bested term of Septembsr. ^ 1854, a term only equaled, in its intensi- ? ty Hnd duration by that of Soptember, ci 1822?the last yellow-fever year in New ?< York- It whs succeeded by a general storm, which washed our streets to the d granite and made the very paving stones ^ rejoice. Being the season of the year ? for sowing wheat and rye, the general w complaints of the long continued drouth p that reached us from every section of the a country, created some feeling of alarm ti with reference to the fate of the small t< grain crops of the next harvest. But the t " crisis had arrived," and softly and stCA- ? dily the rain fell, a* if hesitating between t a good thorough drenching and another n disappointment. And now we hear of it ^ from most quarters, and where we hear c nothing, it is because the wires are down, t We may therefore anticipate the goner- ( al setting in of a rainy season, and of 1 such a general change in the atmos- ' phere, in all quarters, from tbo breaking i up of the late "heated term," as will not I only result in the reclamation of vegota- ' lion, but also in the rapid extinction of cholera and yellow-fever, wherever they < may happen to exist. ' As might have beeu predicted, in spite < of Santa Anna's treasury being so re ] cently replenished, appearances indicate < that his tenure of authority is rather procarious. Such, however, would seem to I be the fact, if any reliance can be placed I on the official bulletins of the revolutionary army, as published at their head-quar- 1 tors in Acapulco. Hitherto, the fighting i has only resulted in petty encounters be- 1 tween the government troops and the rebels?which nevertheless are invariably dignified by the ministerial organs as glorious victories on their side, while the revolutionary sheets as invariably represent them as shameless routs sustained by the partisans of the despot. Which party really has the best of it, in the present uncertain slate of ntfairs, is utterly impossible to be told?but it seems likely that p<a>r Mexico ia not destined to enjoy pence for some years to come. While llritain and Holland are contending more energetically with us for the commanding influence, in connection with the foreign commerce of Japan than it was thought probable they would essay not long since, we are receiving highly favorable reports of the success of Com modore Perry's expedition. Our Recounts I now reach down to ^ ay 14th, *t which I King. It would secin that throughout, the entire exjunlition Commodore Pe^ry has succeeded in combining dignity and firmness so happily with kiudness and cordiality, that he has made our squadron and our country re*|Hvted without . in any w?y humiliating the National pride o| the Japanese. So lar as we are at present aide to judge, we do not believe in spite of their superior experience, with Eastern affairs and connection with E.istern commerce, that either Britain or 1 Holland will be able to rub us of the legitimate advantages properly belonging to us, as being the first to induce Ja pan U become a portion of the coin, inercial world. The treaty that Japan has already entered into with us, shows that we have made a favorable impres sion and it now only remains with the government to preserve and increase itNew York is. once more in town again for the seasou, Grisi and Mario were doubtlessly the first motive power to lure the wonderers back to their old haunts, and the cool weather of the past week having added a fresh impetus, the fashionable watering places are being rapidly deserted. And so once morBroadway is crowded with familiar faces ; from the fair dames who sport the very i itest Parisian fashions, and those delicate little articles neatly done up in French broad cloth, tipped with whito kid gloves, patent leather and mustaches, hy courtesy only called men, down to the big bnrly blioyM >ix feet and well proportioned,n who look* for all the world like a, great, good-natured Newfoundland, dog, content in his own conscious strength apparently both with himself and (he world at large.

Whether the boast is jno nuturod result of their recent victory we cQ|# 1 iu hardly say ; but it is pretty freely Josej .ated that the Know Nothings and Fiil- R. E lore whiga have carried a majority of the Mrs. ( legates who are to meet at Syracuse on ' Wednesday next, to make the regular ^rrl diig State ticket. If it really be so it jjrJr rill prove unfortunate for the old whig ^ s arty, as then doubtlessly the convention j yy t Auburn will tuake separate noinina- j,,|,n ions, and between the two, it will tumble Jam? o pieces, or have to join with the Alioli- J.
