The Western Mails.

The Carottnian of the 29th ult.,
says:
eve received no Augusta papers
last evening
We have received no papers west
of Augusta for nearly two weeks
This is inexplicable to us, rs we per-
ceivc the New Orleans papers are re-
ceivcd in Charleston, ard at points
north Of us. There is screw loose
somewhere"
Yes, there is indeed screw loose
somcwhere on this line. We knop
from personal knowledge, Of letters
being mailed i'll Georgia over week
ago and directed to persons in this
place, which have not reached us yet.
Now, we would be much disposed 10
make allowances for our afflicted
brethren in Augusta if the failure
originated with them, but does t?-
We opine not. There is regular
distributing Office attached to each
mail car and it is the distributing Off
GERS duty to sec that the mail is for.
wnrdcd to the proper places and at the
proper time. II this is not done il
ought to be locked after by the proper
authority. Whilo speaking Of the
Western Native would remark that
mach time and inconrcnience to the
public might be saved, if there was
not such an unnecessary delay and
loss OF time ~ Augusta Why can
not the mail be forwarded immedi
atcly? And why dctain passengers
at Augusta, rs we arc informed they
are, from two TO four hours? These
are great Inconvenience to say the
least to the country at large, and
ought to be rcmcdied. II it is Il
mere pretext by which to benefit the
people of Augusta it is an outrage
that ought to be put stop to at once,
and we hope the Post Master Gene
raj will take the proper steps to do so.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30,h 1854.
Messr$. Eduors: Intervening between the
sultry summer season and the cold Ocio-
bcr days, the month of september has ever
been a favoritc with the denizcns OF our
fair city. The " country folks too, hail
its advent with joy; for it comes rich in
golden grain and Astounding in lucious
iruit. And though We in common with
" the many have complained Of summer
heat and burning suns, yet on this the last
day of Autumn we look back 10 those davs
with feeling OF regret. Ilcnccforih,
aught but ice, s!crt and snow will greet
orr eyes for many days. Thus Times
plastic hand changes all things.
The health Of Philadelphia is very good
at present. Some few cases Of Cholera
occurred this week, but among such a
large and =" medley" population such dis.
eases will always prevail to greater or
less extent. Fortunately, the pcstlcncc
which smotc Charleston and desolatcd
Savannah scarcely touched our city. ],

urc VIC state that Philadelphia did her duty
in extending aud and relief to Gcorgia'S
Emporium OF Commerce aud trade
Charleston made no appeal to our gcncr-
osl'y and charity; or helping hand
would have immediate Y been extended.
A few days ago, it became necessary to
open water pipc connected with the bar
Of n fashionable hotel in this city, to find
ont what obS,rucicd the free passage Of
water. On opening ii. a large iinc ell and
, two small fishes were discovered, the
whole party doing as well as could be
expected under such circumstances -
Some of your subscribers may doubt the
correctness OF this statement but it is
said by knowing ones to be true.
You may have seen in several of your
Northern Exchanges that a law suit was
pending betwccA the Catholic Bishop and
Trustees Of Trinity Church OF Philade-
pha Las, weak the case came on and
the Bishop was successful. On Thursday
an election Tor Trustees was held and
the Anti.Bishop crowd--as the (" Ledger -

of l3l votes.
