The SUNDAY MA1Ls.--Severh merchants
have complained to us that they receive no
mails on Sunday from Charleston. We do
not understand the cause Of this detection
on the part Of the post office at the other
one of the line. From Columbia, the letters
written on Saturday evening are mailed to
Charleston every Sunday morning. The
post officials at Charleston must sleep late
on Sunday mornings. Seriously, however,
it is great inconvenience tc the mercan-
tile community, this continued allure of tho
mails on Sunday.
