THE MAILS.

In consequence of the severe storms, that have
visited almost the entire extent of our Atlantic bor
der, our mails both from the north and the south,
have for several days past, been subjected to great
irregularities and delays. Such was the severity of
the gale, that in Long Island sound the steam
boats were unable to leave port; and on the still
more exposed coast between Wilmington and
Charleston, those which attempted to leave were
compelled to return. 1t was one Of those occasions
on which the elements, in their strife, mock at all
human efforts
Several of the railroads, also, have suffered dam
age from the freshets and floods produced by these
storms and some of them, as we are sorry to learn,
to an extent that it will yet require days to re-
pair OF course, until those repairs be effected,
we must look for still further delays in our mails,
though we have reason to know that no efforts will
be spared to lessen or prevent them.

The same paper of the next day says: "We have

which exhibits the election Of DR.. Jones, the wing
candidate, over the present incumbent, Colonel
Towns, by a majority Of ll6 votes This is a wing
gain of one member, but it is gain achieved in

election to his high character and great popularity
and won it in canvass which brought out in full
strength both his political and personal friends

MORE Rim

The friends Of the tariff of 1912, attempted 70
strengthen their argument, by dwelling upon the
ruin and embarrassment which would arise from the
balance of trade being against US. They contended,
that should import foreign goods, and that as
we could not pay for them by our own productions,
the exchange would be against us, and we should
have to pay for them by the shipment ofspeeie. This
loss Of our coin, they urged, would press upon the
banks, tho merchants, and the country at large.
Now il turns out that this is one Of the panic
features Of general ruin, which is proved to be en-
tirely an empty chimera. What says the last money
article, Of the "New York Express" Of Thursday
last:
'The large shipment of breadstuffs has had a
decided effect on the remittance to Europe, and we
notice a small demand for exchange at 100 1851
premium for sterling, and 5,3l! $50 for Paris.
The cotton crop will soon give another large amount
10 draio against, and unless imports should be
extravaganty large, the course Of trade for the cur
rent year must continue in our favor"
Thus, instead Of our having to ship our specie to
bring their goods, the boot is likely to be on the
other leg. We shall have to import their specie to
pay for our exported productions
