MAILING LErrERs.-The Postmaster General
has issued circular restricting mail agents
from mailing letters on the cars, q prac tice now
carried to such extent rs to prevent their hay
ing sufficient time to attend to the legitimate
duties of their positions. In consequence Of
this order, the safest course will be for all per-
sons to send their letters to the post offices, ms
they will be apt to have them refused by agents
at the cars, although the latter are allowed to
mail letters under certain peculiar circum-
stances where haste is essential, and getting
them into the post Office in time is shown to have
been impossible
