His extensive acquaintance and greut ability as a political writer, together with his amiable qualities an a man. baa won Aw hint u ho«t of admirers. Our Commerce with the North* New York has hitherto been the great cento of trade of the North American Continent. We now expect to see that trade, in a great ure, dive.ted to our Southern ports. A number of the most prominent and reliable merchants of New York, are preparing to establish importing houses in Southern cities. The Northern pa pers come to us loaded with loud complaint against the late Tariff act of Congress at Wash ington, which, siuce our Government at Mont gomery has established a comparatively low tariff, is operating most disastrously on the me cantiie interests of the North. No more orde irom the South will cross the line of the Con federate States. No person in the South eai pay. in New York, the tnrifT on foreign good " Inch the late Black Republican Congress ho established, and then pay our own tariff on tin same goods at our Southern ports. We see also, that it is proposed to supply tin greater portion of goods to the North, through Southern |>orls—our low tariff justifying the ad ditional expenditure in the way of freight, which such a diversion of the channels of trade w necessarily cause. It is proposed to supply the whole West and North-West by landing goods at New Orleans, direct from Europe, and trans- |K>riing them thence up the Mississippi; and even to supply Philadelphia and New York via ( hurleston. These views are not so visiouary as would seem at first thought. It is entirely practicable and will be accomplished, unless the United States Government recognize us as a nation independent of them, and apply their new tariir law to a‘l importations from the South.— So long ns they insist upon us being a part of the Union, they cannot make any tariff law ap plicable to goods going from our ports iuto theirs. Large mercantile palaces in New York and Philadelphia are now for sale, and leases on large warehouses are being offered at half their cost and former rents, but no one is willing to take them. Commercial ruin is upon them, and nothing can save them from it but a speedy re cognition of our Government and a readjust ment of their tariff, that will enable Southern merchants to purchase from them upon advan tageous conditions. The etate Convention, At Savannah, is still wrangling on the Reduc tion question, and appears to Le no nearer an agreement than at first. So far, nothing lias been accomplished that looks liko a consum mation of the matter. While in Savannah last week, wo heard a great number of tho mem bers of the Convention, abuse tho Legislature for the lust ten years, because the reduction has not been made by it. All manner of selfish ness and low demagoguoism was chaiged on the Legislature by those members of the Con vention to whom we allude. They are now going through the same routine that the Leg islature has at nearly every session for a num ber of years past; and we shall not bo surprised if, when they get to the end of the farce, the s.«me results will have been achieved. Shall we, if they do fail to muko the reduc tion, charge upon them the same motives which wo heard them so freely charge on the mem- l>ers of the Legislature ? This question is worth considering. France and the United Staten. The Purls Monitenr U indignant at the increase of duties proposed by the Northern United States upon French productions. Bilks, which formerly paid nineteen cents, w ill have now to pay from twenty to thirty per edit. Wiucs, which paid thirty have now to pay thirty-three and a half. Bo of other goods and produce. The official journal nan'uses the Northern dep uties of having taken advantage of the absence of tho>c from the South to do this smart hit of business and laments to Irnvc to observe this retrograde movement from the free trade when nil other countries are on the contrary advancing toward tho liberty of Commerce. There Is an other ground for lamentation In the suspicion which Is now raised that the anti-slave declara tions of the Northern monopolists are not so completely animated os they ought to be by that ardent and self-sacrificing devotion to principle which alone can secure the triumph of a just France and the Confederate Ntatcs. The Charleston Courier of tho 19th says: We learn from a telegraphic dispatch, received yesterday by a mercantile lo use of our city, that the proper officer at tho Custom House at Havre, France, has notified tho merchants of that place that ships from the seceded States will be admitted into that port on the same footing as those carrying the Federal Flag. The Guuh Shipped. The Savannah “Republican” of the 10th says: “Wo are pleased to learn that, through repre sentations made to parties in New York by Messrs. Brigham, Baldwin & Go., of Una city, mid Rlelnrd Lathers, Esq., President of the Great Western Insurance Co., of New York, the Georgia guns which listfc been so long and urn justly detained in the latter city are at hist re leased, and are now on their way to Savannah. Thus has ended a mutter whose complication* nt one time were of a threatening nature.” Texas. Nxw Obi.f. xa, March 10.—The laic ml advices from Texas state that the entire evacuation of the Federal troop# tn Texas will Ihv completed by the 20th. * , Letter from flavannalt* Savapnah, March 18, 1881 Messrs. IIanlritru 4 Anain: Tha Conven tion, to day, decided to lay upon tha table for tha remainder of tha aession, varioua proposi lions which hsd been preoentad for the rtduc lion of the House of Representatives, which is equivalent to the expression of a determi nation not to touch that House. A reconsider ation will be moved to-morrow morning, with out effect, I think. Under the only plan which seems to he st all likely (o succeed, popular representation is entirely ignored, and the real power of the Blato is retained in the hands of a minority of tha people—both the House and 8enate being representatives, to a large extent, of territory. Mr. T. R. R. Cobb (with a view of e]ualising in some degree the representa tion.) proposed an increase of the members of the lower House to 200; giving each oounty a representative, and dividing the remainder in proper proportion among the counties having the largest population. This was not, how ever, acceptable to the small counties. The Convention, to day, determined to district the Btate for representation in the new Congress, and appointed a Committee of 21—three from each of tho old districts—to arrange the c< ties. The Oidinance ratifying the Constitution, is being signed at the convenience of the mem bers, in the recesses of the sessions. The re port of the Committee to arrange the 44 Sena torial districts, will probably report to-morrow. Tho Committee on Revision of the Constitu tion, will probably report on Wednesday.— Quite a large amount of business remains un disposed of, but we hope to leave nothing of importance unattended to, and yet adjourn by Saturday. Yours, Ac. P. Items and News. Tho Augusta Dispatch fays: The raiD, which commenced falling on Sunday evening, culmi- □ Red last night in a heavy fall of snow. It ii said to be tho heaviest fall of snow in this city for thirty-eight years—averaging fully eight inches deep. The appearauce of the streets and buildings was picturesque this morning. Tho Charleston Courier of 10th instant says: Oar old and esteemed friend, Col. B. T. Watts, Secretary to Gov. Pickens, ou Sunday visited Fort Sumter on a friendly call to Maj. Ander son. The Major and Colonel Watts are old ac quaintances, having known each other for over thirty five years. At the time when Maj. An derson’s brother was Minister to Colombo, Re public of Bolivia, Colonel Watts was then Secretary of Legation. The meeting was a very pleasant one, reviving many reminiscences of the past. The statement, which has lately gone the rounds of the press, that Vice-President Ste phens hud erdered a largo number of horses from Kentucky for the Government of the Con federate States, we see is authoritatively con tradicted. The Georgia Baptist Convention meets this year in Athens, on Friday before the 4th Sab bath in April.

This is the purport of the in formation, and it is said to have caused consld- rable uneasiness on the part of Lincoln and ioverncr Hicks. Tho Blato Convention of Mississippi is to be e-assembleJ on Monday, 26th instant, for the purpose of considering the permanent Consti tution of the Confederate States. Levi (2. C.

It is said that tho largest crowd ever assembled in the county was in Cutrming on that day, amount- to some J5,090 persons. The New York Herald of tho 16th, says: We perceive by tho English papers that Dr. Rus- II, the Crimean correspondent of the London Times, who was also the correspondent of that journal dariug the terriblo revolution in India, coming out to this country to describe the ■volution going on here. Thia fact shows what deep interest our revolutionary proceedings possess for the public mind in Europe. The susceptible wifd of James H.

James Guthrie made a speech be fore a large Union meeting in Louisville, Ky., Saturday night last, in which he, for vari ous considerations, urged tho 8tate of Ken tucky not to secede. Among other reasons why sho should still cling to the Union, he said ; “Tho Free States will give us all tho guar anties for our rights, as soon as tha people can ■peak.” That must nave been refreshing and encour aging to his hearers, in the face of the late New Hampshire election, in which the Black Republicans have again elected their entire ticket by about the same old majority; and the Pennsylvania Legislature haa chosen the no torious David Wilmot as United States Senator in place of Cameron, who has gone into Lin coln's Cabinet. Fort Sumter. A recent letter from Washington, says: “ The mode of evacuation is to he confined to Mitfor Anderson, who is to notify the Military author ities of South Caroline that on a certain day fixed he shall withdraw from Sumter, leaving It In |H)»*csslon of u corporal's guard, merely for the protection of the property. It will then remain with tho Carolinians as to whether they will leave it thus tacitly in tho )>o*Kcssion of the United States, or demand a surrender from the guard, take down the American flag and run up the Palmetto, or rather the seven stars and ►tripes."

" From the New York Times. The Victory of Mrs* Caines. Tke annals of litigation furnish wo two moro interesting or peculiar eaaei thaa tboss of Madams Paterson Bonaparte, and of Mrs. My ra Clark Gaines, both of whlsh haws, for ma ny years, occupied prominent positions before, not only tho legal profession, but the eyee sf the world. These casee are singularly sug gestive, and peculiarly illuatratlve of certain phrases of American society, and ns such, posses* other interests than those of a merely pecuniary character. Each has reached, after pot reeled struggles, a decision, tbs one adverse to and the other in favor of tha claimant—4ht one loses a 11 she deemed worth living for, while the other gains not only a fortune of fabulous amount, but establishes forever the honor of her mother. Had the Imperial Court been more klud, tho American claimant of a kingly hand would now be in possession of a vast estate, with her son’s legitimacy acknowl edged before the world, while, aa it is, these are denied her, and perhaps forever. In view, then, of the interest of the cele brated cause which yesterday was decided in favor of Mrs. Gaines, by a full bench of the Supremo Court of the United States, a brief resume of its material facia will not be mis placed. Daniel Clark, who was one of the early set tlers in ths colony of Louisians, was a very remarkable person. His sagacity, prudence and business tact, soon placed him at the head of its monetary world, while hi# beauty of person, popular character, and agreeable man ners afforded him a similar position in the so cial circle. In 1802 he became acquainted in Philadelphia with a lady of extraordinary per sonal beauty, named Zulime Carriers. She was born in tha old French colony of Biloxi, aud her parents were emigrants from the laud of poetry and romance—Provence—the favor ite home of the Troubadours. When Clark first met her, she had t een living in wedlock withaswindlcr nmued Jerome DeGrunge, who, having dazzled her with a glittering coronet, married her, and then disclosed the astound ing facts that he was a confectioner and n big amist. Zulime appealed for protection to Clark, who being warm hearted and chival rous, at once espoused her cause, and after becoming convinced that De Grange had an other wife living, espoused herself. The mar riage was kept secret, and in 1800 Myra, now Mrs. Gaines, was born. Being naturally de sirous ot having her connection with Clark a publicly acknowledged one, Zuliuie went to New Orleans to obtaiu legal proofs of her first husband's rascality. While she was gone, Clark, who had grown into un influential pol itician, became enamored of Miss Catou, a grand-daughter of Charles Carroll, with whom he contracted an engagement, though when re ports were brought to Miss Caton alleging her lover's marriage to Zulime, she at once iusisi ed upon a release from the engagement, and she subsequently became the Marchioness of Wellesley. In tho meantime, Zulime had returned to Philadelphia, and sought to obtain proofs of her marriage with Clark, who had, with sin gular treachery, destroyed all that he could discover. Finding herself helpless, in a strange country, aud with a child dependent upon her, she was wholly at a loss what to do A CUomaut Hear the Throne, A oat# DOW szeiting much comment on both tide# of iko water ji* that of Mr#. Lavinia Jannotia Horton Ryvss, who claims to b# Priaooss of CumbarUnd and Duchess of Lan. caster, and of tho Royal blood. “Viewed from tho stand point of ths oliamant tbo history of th# oase is this: fa 17C8, OUva Wilmot, daughter of a clergyman of tbo Churoh of Ragland, and of hisvlfo, who was a daughter of Slaalelau# of Poland, was mar ried to ths Duke of Cumberland, brother of GoorgelH. The marriage was #tte#t#d by lung the Karl of Chatham, and tho Karl of Warwick. In 1772, a daughter was bom and named Oliva, being baptised os the daugh ter of tbs Duke of CombsrltDd, In presence of witnesses. After her marriage with the Duke, her father unlawfully married another wifa, that committing bigamy. In order to protect him from punishment of this crime, the Kinp directed that the child just spoken of shoulc be again baptized under another name; this was accordingly done, and the infant was de prived of her rights. At the same time, the King signed a private declaration of her lagi* timacy as his neice, gave her a large in- come, made her Duchess of LanoasteiC and finally, by his will, bequeated to her i! Id,000 and another acknowledgement that she was his neice. It is said that the Duke of Kent, the father of Queen Victoria, was convinced of this child’s legitimacy, and that he made her a large allowance, on his death, leaving to his daughter Victoria a recommendation to take cere of his “dear cousin Oliva." This child, grown to womanhood, married Tliomus Herrs, bore a daughter Lavinia, and in due course of time died; not however, be fore sho had unsuccessfully pressed her olai to the honors of royallty, a claim dismissed by the House of Commons in IH'22. Her daughter Lavinia, now Mrs Ky ve.«, the present ao'ive claimant for the same h ors, and she has made one step toward suc cess, by gaining a decision in the Probate Court whioti establishes her as the legitimate daughter of her parents. She now proposes to show that her mother, the Oliva above spo ken of, was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Cumberland and neice of George III and there the case rests for the moment. Those who scoff at this eiaim say that the whole affair is a well concocted scheme of fraud and forgery. They say that the prelcn ded signitures of Karas Chatham and Warwick to the grandfather's marriage are forgeri that of Chat bain, at least. They say that the pretendei acknowledgments of the King, Gerrge 111., are spurious, and that he never made such a will as that attributed to him.— But the Courts will soon decide tbo“ amuer, and the question of the genuineness of signa lures will probably he treated in such a manner ua to give a precedent of some vulue for the use of our own Courts.—N. Y. Tribune. Reclaiming Fallen Women.—The move ment in London for the reformation of fallen women ha9 been attended with remarkable results. Similar measures have been adopted in large cities of Great Britiau with success. In Glasgow, over two huudred have been re ocived into tho Refuge and provided with eni ■ u wn wuvm ployuieut, mainly through tho efforts of a sin and, in her destitution, ^driven almost to ties j gln^lady, pair, sho accepted the hand of Dr. Garden who, with kindness aud geuerosity, united bis fortune with hers. Clark, in the mean time, had become peuitent, hut, on hastening to find his former love, ascertained that she was the wife of another. He took the child Myra, placed her under tho care of a friend, and had her most liberally educated. Zulime , ... lived for a long liu.e after that, attained I he I hem back to vice the seceastone wereeu- ago of 78 years', and died at No* Orleans but I couragiugly limited, in Dublin too, a similar and many more have applied, but have been rejected, from the want of menus fur their port. Of 1G3 who had been received in over a twelvemonth, only twenty had relapsed, and nearly all these had returned of their own accord, bitterly repenting their weakness, and desiring further opportunity of reformation. As the most insidious means were adopted to age of 78 years, a few years since. Clark, whore business talent was proverbial, amassed an immense fortune in Louisiana, Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland, which lie bequeathed by will, in 1813, to his mother Mary Clark, naming Beverly Chew and Rich ard Relf, bankers cf New Orleans, as execu tors. Charges have been preferred against the executoi-Bof had faith and mismanagement, but however that may be, Myra—tlien Mrs. Whitney—having discovered at maturity that her mother had been the wife of the deceased millionaire, with an impulse of honorable af fection for which she cannot be too highly praised, determined to assert her right, as the legitam&le child and consequent heiress, to the entire property. That she met with opposition and with ob stacles of all sorts may well be imagined, but she battled for her mother’s honor, and evin ced the most commendable spirit and perse verance, in spite of most fearful odds, llor husband died, but she remarried, and in so doing enlisted a powerful auxiliary in the per son of Gen. Gaines, who believed iu her le gitimacy, and aide! her with all bis might.— It would be wearis me merely to index the va rious legal struggles, the attempted social os tracisms, the tracheries, the sorrows, the hopes and fears experienced by Mrs. Gainas in this work of her lifetime. She sued iu numerous Courts, with varied success, until her fortune was gone, her friends convinced of the use lessness of further trial, and all but her own indomitable spirit fled. She still struggled on, aud, as a last resort, brought the case in its amplitude and its labyrinths of legal tech nicalities to the Supreme Court of the land. Thsre, after a long and patient hearing, she has obtained her victory. Ths Court has unanimously decided that Myra Clark Gaines is the only legitimate child of Daniel Clark, and that, as such, she is entitled.to all pro perty left by him. Nor are the years and en ergies of the courageous woman too far spent to prevent her enjoyment of her vast wealth. Mrs. Gaines, though now in her fifty-fifth year, is represented as being an agreeable spe cimen of what old people delight iu calling “la dies of the old school." Hhe is in good health, and possesses nu abundant flow of animal spirits, which have buoyed her up for over thirty years under circumstances of au uuu- sually trying nature. Mr. Justice Wayne, in closing the decision of the Court, sccm9 to have placed peculiar and significant emphasis on the words, that the Supreme Court would see that the provis- of the Decision were carried into effect— a statement of more than ordinary importance when we refleot that possibly ths State of Louisianna may decline to take cognisance of, or be bound by, a decree emanating from less a tribunal than the Supreme Court of tho 'Mats United Slates of America."
