THE COLUMBIA MAIL ROUTE.

We have cause of complaint against the present
management Of this route. The mail from Columbia
is due here at 8, o'clock A. NJ. on Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Saturdays. Now it has happened three
times of late that this mn has not reached tho otce
ut this place in time to Lc delivered to tho Postmas-
ter The Postmaster, VIC are informed, has await
cd its arrival in those instances later than the hour
fixed by thc Department The driver finding the
oics closed keeps the mall and carries it back with
him to Columbia, leaving very early in the morning,
before the Post Office is opened. OF course, tins
mode of procedure results in much inconvenience to
the public 1t is unnecessary to state in what way
Suffice it to say, that it is an evil which needS amend
mont; And we are glad to learn that remonstranee
has been forwarded to Washington on the subject
We earnestly hope that tue pro:er authority there
will Mt once rectify this awkard condition of things

RUSSELL,S MAGAZINE,

Tho October number seems as good us usual We
have not yet, however, read the articles carefully
The Editors tablo evnccs considerable taste and fresh
ness of thought The solid article Of the issue is
translation from the French-not less good perhaps
on that account. Tho ttle Of "Estcourr" is happily
ended, of which it may be said: Pretty good whit
there is of it and plenty of it such as it is" The
question, "What is Povtry" is discussed, but not
very intellgby. There are various other articles Of
prose and verse, but wo hnvo not read them We say
again. havo said before, that we have ten copies
of this publication hand for distribution to those
who may desire to subscribe. Arc there not ten men
in Edgcteld disposed to encourage this purely South
orn work? OF course there arc hundreds Como
then and give US your names. Thus far We hnvc np.

more hashy publications but in no sense more vulua-
bic than our Charleston Magazine.
