Our paper often abounds in typographical errors, for which we plead headache, etc.; but frequent apologies are due to those who do not know how difficult it is to have near half a million of little metal pieces all in their right places. One of our late mistakes is so singular as to deserve a special notice. An article which should have been headed "Honesty in Politics," was put "Honey in Politics." Now, we do not know what has been the experience of our readers in this respect, but we are obliged to confess that we have found in Politics but a very small portion of the above ingredient. -Augusta Courier.
