To the "PoWers that Be.n

WE are occasionally in receipt of CON-
plants from subscribers, in various quarters,
in regard to the irregularity Of the mails.
Some say they receive tho Press semi
monthly, some quarterly, and some never at
all. These complaints are certainly very
annoying to us, for surely We desire the
Press to be read regularly especially by
those who pay for it; but we hold no rem
cdIal power All we can do is done when
we print our paper and put it in our post
office here; and We have no doubt our
postmaster discharges his part. We know
lie is too much Of a gentleman and friend
to detain single copy Intentionally. The
mail agents, too, Oh tho Greenvile Road,
we know to be men entirely trustworthy,
and could not therefore charge either of
them with wlful or negligent dereliction of
duty. Accidental oversights will sometimes
inevitably occur.
To all those, then, who have, or may
hereafter, fail to receive the Press at the
proper time, we have only to say that it is
as much our regret as theirs but we have
no recourse unless the source of the failure
can be discovered. If that were done-if
we could point our finger at any official
and say Thou art the man"-then we
should at least read him lecture upon the
respect to be paid to the discharge of sworn
official duties. The man who undertakes
the fulfilment Of any trust, whether he re-
ceves copper or not for his time, and will
fully fails to discharge it, is poor apology
for man, to say the least. There may be
some who would like, by forcibc detentions
of this kind, to diminish the number of
readers we now rejoice in. Ii so, let them
show their hands like men, and not their
hoofs like cowardly devilsA

ADVANCE IN SUGAR.-The price of sugar has
lately advanced considerable. The New York
sugar market note was much excited on Friday
last and u further advance took place, owing Ia
the reports of short crops in Cuba and Louisiana.
The advices from London state that prices have
risen there considerably. The extreme abun
dance of fruits this year and consequent chaep-
ness, has occasoned great increase in the con
sumption of sugar for preserving; an increase,
however, which the rising price of sugar will
now check.
