THE UNDERGROUND MAIL.—The following is
printed in the New York Times as an extract from a letter,
dated Savannah, Oct. 11 You cannot think how bit-
terly the North is ridiculed here, and all my efforts to de-
fend it only end in mortification and consciousness that
those who think otherwise have the best of the argument.
It is now the regular habit to send so-called deserters'
into the Union lines along the Potomac, whenever we want
to get a mail carried North. These deserters' who are ge-
nerally the bravest, sharpest, and most unscrupulous enfans
perdus in the rebel army, enter M'Clellan's lines, tell him
just such stories as they have been told to, take the oath,
and are immediately dismissed. They then go to Baltimore,
post their letters there, get a retain mail and are back in
Richmond within three or four days from the time of leav-
ing the managers of this mail line at Baltimore. It is thus
that the -- and the —Ltwo papers are mentioned here,
one published in New York and one in Baltimore] get their
late Southern news,' and I can assure you that this mail
runs regularly—the carriers many times getting across the
Potomac and into Maryland without being once challenged
—while, if they are challenged, they announce themselves
as deserters, take the oath—though even this is not always
asked of them, and then hurry on to Baltimore, which is
our chief post-office."

TIGHT LACING.—The editor of the New Orleans
Times says the corsets worn by the ladies of that city will
bear a monstrous strain, judging from a lady he saw, who
was so nearly cut in two, that a man would be considered
amenable for bigamy, should he marry her.
SOMETHING NEW.—The New Orleans Picayune
says it is customary with persons at the South who have
old negroes they wish to sell far a good price, if they happen
to be minus a tooth or two to put kernels of Virginia corn,
fiat and white, in their jAws, set in red putty, which do well
enough until they begin to sprout.
The Ost- I 'eutsche Post states that its publisher
has been condemned to a fine or 50 florins for having in-
serted an account of a press prosecution of the editor of the
Viennese Despatches, which ended in the acquittal of the
accused. The other journals which gave accounts of the
trial have been similarly treated.
On All Souls'-day, at Vienna, the tomb of the
