Having recently returned from the South, I am well aware of the great incon venieaces to whfch' , the' ' SoOtherb people are subjected on account if lack of mail facilities, tni is, to ery greal extent, - owing to tha oath with which contractota are required ta comply there'being but few men at thi South who can take it.
