By this means the difference of only one hour) pas

and tho aame thing is the going SOUTH Our mails
now take hours longer than formerly
and your valuable paper reach us now until

hours longer to from hero to Now York than It docs
to go from hero to Charleston These facts, together
with the exorbiant frghtS must inevitably have the
effect Of compelling all mercantile men in this section
to go North for their goods matter Of
Hoping that this state Of affairs may be soon changed
