We lay before our readers part of the proceeds of Sunday morning's mail, from all parts of the country, far and near, giving birds'-eye views of men and manners, and graphic descriptions of our social system in all its aspects. Our voluntary correspondence is becoming an important feature of the Herald, and is worth all the absurd projects of telegraphs and expresses with which the public has been bored for some time past. What is forwarded to us comes from the mintage of the brain and heart, pure and unadulterated, and is transferred in all its naturalness and naiveté to our columns. The ramifications of this special branch of our connection are being daily enhanced in quality, extent and place, and have already excited the envy and useless competition of our Wall street contemporaries.
