In going through some old papers last week, we came acroia a copy of The Charleston Mercury, bearing date June 70, 1862. Itwai well worn, es- pecially where It had been folded, and no doubt it made the rounds of many anxious families seeking news of loved ones at the front. The sheet we have consists of only two pages, and that la probably all it contained originally, aa we note the following in it* editorial column: ‘‘Half Sheet*—The Richmond pa pers are now all printed upon half sheets.
