The Mails. - The Postmaster, at Cincinnati on Friday, addressed the following note to the editor of the Enquirer:
The public have got the impression, from telegraphic dispatches and other unofficial sources, that the mails are not carried with any regularity throughout the country, and that they are almost entirely cut off from the South. Permit me to say that the mails are being forwarded and received with the usual regularity, and that up to this date I have received no official notification from the Department at Washington to stop sending postal matter to the Southern States.
