IHK CHARLESTON AND HAVANA MAIL The
Stars readers will remember that last winter
when the question Of the continuance or discon
nnuance Of the United States mail service between
Charleston Is. CO. and Havana was before Con.
gress, we strenuously urged the propriety of the
policy OF continuing a mail service upon tina t
route Congress decided to do so; and made It
the duty Of the Postm sster General to advertis e
Tor proposals for that mail service Within the
past day or two the bids for it have been opened /;
and the contract has fallen the lot Of the late
contractors for the same service-Messrs. Mordecai
Co, Of Charleston, s. C.; the owners of the 90
weiiknown and highly-appreciated Isabel line;
than whom no other American mail steamship
ProPrietors have given, from first to last, more
satisfaction to American travellers by sea. We are
grained to learn that, in pursuance of the terms
OF this contract, the Isabel will leave Charleston
Tor Havana on the LIST and 18TH Of each month
Sne now rates as an No. 1 steamship on the
books Of the New York and London underwater.
