BY JAMES T. FISIDS.
Tb* grass hung wet on Kydal’a banks,
The golden day with pearls adorning,
VV.ben aide by aide with him we walked
To meet midway the summer morning.
Thrweat wind took a softer breath,
• The auo himself seemed brighter shining,
Aa through tbe porch the minstrel slept—
His eye sweat Nature's look enshrining.
HA passed along the dowy sward,
The blue-bird sang aloft “good-morrow I
He plucked a bud. the flower awoke
And smiled without one pang of sorrow.
He spoke of all that graced tlte scene
In tone* that fell like music round ub, *
We felt the charm descend, or etrovo
To break the rapturous spell that bound us.
We listened with mysterious awe,
Strange feelings mingling with our pleasure;
We beard that Jay prophetic words,
High thoughts the heart must always treasure
Great Nature’s Priest 1 thy calm career
With that sweet morn, on earth haa ended—
But who shall say thy mission died
When, winged for Heaven, thy soul ascended.

Largest Circulation til the City! 1
Carolina and the General Government.
The Charleston Mercury of Tuesday has an article
on Federal Relations, in which the Editor comments
upon that portion of Gov. Seabrook’s message
which refers to the position which that State bears to
wards tbe Union, and the preparation which should
be made tor -whatever emergency the vindication of
her own honor, and the protection of the rights of
her people, may produce." In the course of his ar
ticle, the Editor discloses some facts which would
seem to iildicato an approaching crisis, as well as a
firm determination on both sides to brave its conse
quences. Ths Editor says :—
Thu Message is grave and practical.on this sub
ject, pnd whether or not its recommendations nre
adopted in all their details, their spirit should be ad
hered to, It Is recognized abroad as an indication
not to be mistaken, that the State is in earnest. The
Government lias already put tfio same construction
on the calm attitude of our people. They know it
Indicates that the decision has been made, and they
also know that the decision is not in favor of sub
mission.
The Governor's Message affords one of the proof
that they understand the feeling of South Carolina.
They have refused to relinquish the site of Castle
Pinkney, on tbe pretext that it is necessary to the
defence of Charleston in the event of a foreign war,
—butin reality beenuso its guns can be brought to
bear oh the City. Another proof has just come to
our ear. There were twenty thousand stand of arms
in the United States Arsenal, deposited here to he
ready to supply the wants of our militia. They hnve
been all removed, we understand, and that with
( eucn precaution that no suspicion ol the proceeding
was entertained till it was all over. We put the like
interpretation on the recent accession of troops to
Fort Moultrie, about which, of course, there are
plausible stories, thesource of which wc know not. The
troops are here, oil their way to sdtne point, but not
to move until they nre ordered. Troops need rest
occasionally, and Texas is a long way off; besines
that, having accepted the ten million dollars, and
surrendered the sixty million acres of land, the Ca-
Blanches are no longer considered so dangerous a * to
call for a large force in that quarter.
We observe also a movement of a company of Ar-
tillcrjf from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, on their
wa^i UTa said, to Fort Washington on the Potomac.
It la a considerable distance, and they will probably
atop at Charleston, to take in water, or get a nible
of fresh bread, and they too, will wait for further
orders. It seems certain that in the courso of a few
months no city on the entire const of the United
States will be half aa well prepared for defence as
Charleston. In case of foreign invasion; and should
a question raise here under the Fugitive Act, the Gov
ernment will be ehabled to carry out their high and
patriotic resolves with an efficiency that will aston
ish the people of Boston.
But it Is not merely by covertly disnrmimgthc Arse
nal, and accidentally filling tho Forts, that the Admin
istration indicates a full appreciation of the determi
nation of South Carolina, and makes known its own.
When at a certain distance from us, too, and under
the shelter of its native North, itleaves off pretexts
and disguises, and speaks a language that is intelligi
ble without comment. Its organ, the Washington
Republic of last Saturday, quotes the important part
of Governor Senbrook’s Messnee, with an intrnduc-
• tion from which we take the following:
“Itis invuin to deny that Gov. Scabrook holds a Inn-
guano and contemplates results which look to the
overthrow of our existing form of government. To
what extent these sentiments will find a response in
any other of the Southern States than South Caroli
na, remains to be seen. We believe, as far as any
organized or conventional expression of opinion is
concerned, that South Carolina stands alone in the at
titude of reaistance which alio presents to the Nation
al Government If the people of that State shall but
«arry out the opinions and sentiments which have
been professed by her leading men, at public festivals
-and through the channels of official communication,
there is little reason to doubt that she will be found,
at an early day, in hostile and treasonable array
against the Constitution and Ucion of the States To
tbe duty of the National Government, in such an
emergency, it is only necessary for us to allude. We
have no doubt that itwould be faithfully and fenrless
ly performed. Tba clamors of a seditious Common
wealth will be no more regarded than those of sedi
tious individuals; and the supremacy of the law will
be vindicated, stall hazards and under all circum
stances, alike against the vaarant insurrections of a
mob or the embattled array of a sovereign State."
Here is a light by which the simplest man can rend
the proceedings we have briefly alluded to. We un
derstand well the feeling that will answer to such
threats, both in the Legislature and among the poo
pie. There is danger that it should precipitate the
issue. We trust it will not. Itis not even necessa
ry that thraats should be answered with defiance,—
but what is necessary, is that preparation sliold be
•annotredwUk preparation, if tbe sword is whetted
against us, let our armor too, be made read., for use.
India Cotton.—We remember the time, says the
N. V. Journal of Commerce, when“lndla cotton” was
a common article in this country. Atprescut.it is un
known here. On the contrary, American cotton,
rawer manufactured, now goes to every part of tho
civilized world. India cotton was always an inferior
article, nadalways will be. It was alwuys subject to
disaster from excessive and long continued heat,
drought, Ac., to an extent far greater thau in the Uni
ted States. The cotton manufacturers ot England
have made repeated and expensive efforts to secure
a supply of good cotton from Judia, but their success
haa been partial and unsatisfactory. The experience
of American cotton growers has been putin requisi
tion,—several intelligent Mississippi planters having
been employed to superintend the culture in different
parts of India,—but still the work drags, and tho cot
ton is inferior, both in quality and quantity. John
wonders what can be the matter: and (tbe Manches
ter Chamber of Commerce) is about to send out Mr
Alexander Mackay, “to inquire into tbe obstacles
which prevent the increased growth of cotton in that
country.” We can give the answer in advance, in
deed it^MP already been given above, viz: that
tlie soil ABiJcii mate, one or both, are not auch as the
plant delights in. Even in the United States therais
Snrnpai'Kttveiy but a sma'l belt of land which is per
fectly adapted to cotton.
The Term “UbOthek Jonathan,'' — General
Washington placed great confidence in the good
sense and patriotism of Jonathan Trumbull, who at
y Iperiod of tbe American revolution, was
rof the State of Connecticut. In a certain
y, when a measure of great importance
„„ discussion, Washington remarked, “we
■must consult Brother J omnium on the subject" The
result of that consultation was favorable. Thus,
trom tho constant use of tho expression, “we must
consult Brethcr Jonathan." which soon passed from
me army to the jttople at large, we received that
appellation which has stock to ns as closely us "John
.Bull” to the English.
BY TELEGRAPH.
We are indebted to a commercial house of this
city for the following despatch:
Charleston, DEC. 4th, 8 P. M.
The demand for Cotton lias been active to-day, and
the sales reach thirty four hundred bales.

Alton loeke, Tailor and Poet. An Autobiography
New-York: Harper St Brothers.
This is a fictitious autobiography, in whioh tho
writer, who is an English radical, endeavors to illus
trate and enforce tho doctrines of his party. The
style is forcible, spirited and playful, and the view of

impressive. The writer's sympathies arc with the
working clauses of bis countrymen, with whose hnrd
condition he appears to bo perfectly familiar,'and
whose wrongs he depicts in tho strongest colors, giv
ing a faithful exhibition of the social influences of
monarchical inoiitutions upon that class who bear
tile burthen of their support, while they enjoy none of
their privileges or emoluments. But there is a charm
of literary interest nbout the book which will se
cure for it renders among thoae who may not, to the
full extent, adopt its popular philosophy.

The Great Union Meeting in New-Orletuis.
A great Union Meeting of tho citizens ol New.
Orleans was held in the St. Charles Theatro in that
city, on Wednesday night, the27th ulL, at which Dr
Isaac LaratOt presided, assisted by some flity Vice
Presidents. All accounts represent the meeting to
have been unusually large and enthusiastic, and tho
resolutions passed were strongly in favor of Union
and tho Compromise, pledging tho people of Louis
iana to “ lend their aid in execution of the Compro
mise lawa,” and to “ put down with a strong hand
all who may attempt to set them at naught." The
sixth and seventh resolutions are as follows:—
•■6. Resolved, That we entertain for our friends
of the North true fraternal regard, that we cannot
and will not entertain the slignteat doubt of the good
faith which will mark their observance ot all the
terms of the compromise; and that whilst we regard
with indignation the lawless violence ot unprinci
pled fanatics who have mado themselves conspicu-
ous in their efforts to evade or resist the law, we
preserve unshaken our reliance on the good sense
and law-abiding spirit of the masses of the people,
who will subdue those lanatics with the firm heart
and resolute spirit which 'they have inherited from
the men of the Revolution.
“7. Resolved, That in thus giving a pledge of our
purpose to aid in maintaining the supremacy of the
laws, we feel that we have given tho strongest of all
proofs of our attachment to the Union; (that tlie
points yielded by the Southern portion of the con-
federavy by the terms of the recent compromise laws
comprehend every concession that freemen can make
with honor,) and that we cannot contemplate without
horror the inevitable consequences which would
result from thn unanimous resistance of the citi
zens of the South to any. the slightest infraction of
any of the measures which have been passed us
equivalents for those concessions.”
The Delta, speaking of tho meeting says :—Th 0
crowd was very ardent, animated and enthusiastic.—
Tliis epeaka well for the patriotism and nntionnl
feeling of our citizens, who were no doubt all anima
ted by a warm love of their country and the Union.
Though we may notapprovt tho resolutious, we cor
dially sympathize in the spirit which appeared to
move the assemblage. This spirit only requires a
proper direction to make it tell lavorably in peipetu
ating this Union ami preserving our Liberties. But
these great results nrenotto beobtained bymectings,
speeches, ree durians, flogs, music,artillery salvos,Stc,
We must do something else to protect and secure this
Union We must place tho South on high ground,
demanding nothing but What is right, and submitting
to nothing that is wrong. We must tell the North"
thatthe Constitution must be obeyed, and theUnion
which is created thus preserved.
Jamaica.—Thn spot once a perfect garden, with n
climate surpassed by no country in the world, for
equality of temperature, fanned by tlie ever shifting
breezes of thn tropics, and wanned by a sun whose
fructifying heat gives a perpetual summer, and its
Boil so prolific, that tho labor often weeks wiUsoe.nrn
ample provisions for tho year,—this spot of earth
which should hnve been tho granary ot America,
has now, under the blighting curse of emancipation,
fallen into utter decay.
In 18:14, when slavery ceased to oxlst, thero wore
653 susar plantations in suecosslul oporatloh. Of
these 150 have, since emancipation, linen abandoned
and two hundred thousand acres of land have been
thrown out of cultivation. The best land on this
island can now be obtained at almost any price.—No
compensation for labor is offoxed— ana the tree
blacks, no longer tinder tho guidafee and control of
the white race, have become, ns they always will,
beggars, rogues nnd outcasts. The sleek, well-fed
and happy slaves nre changed to half-starved, dis
content d freemen ; and the whites nre either leav
ing tlie Island to its rapidly approaching desolntiou,
or those who are compelled to remain are losing the
pride of caste and approximating to the ignorance,
the laziness and the moral degradation of tile negro.
The Water Gas Company, at Jersey City,
which commenced with such extensive operations,
has exploded. The President vanished, and the com
pnny, with a half million of dollars capital, has dis
solved. without declaringn dividend, and Jersey City
is still In darkness. Paine's WaterOas promised
much, but this economy promised more.

Ifiijf' The Postmaster General’* forthcoming Re
port it is said, will show that tho number of letters
which have passed through the various post offices
of tho Unitod States, during the year, have been sev
enty millions, which is an iucrease of forty-six mil
lions in five years. The revenue has also increased,
so as to leave the Department a surplus of about a
million of dollars, after defraying all expenses.
Change of Numbers.—When this Union com
menced, says the Charleston Sun, the number of
States which composed it was represented by the
figures 13; now that it seemB near its end, the figures
hnve been reversed and the States amount to 31.
Another ominous fact is, that Fillmore is the 13th
President of the Union nnd may be the last. The
number 13 haa always been deemed an unlucky one
and the old superstition bids fair to be exemplified in
the case of the 13 States.
Murder on board of ji YVhnler.
The New York Mirror contains an account of a
murder committed on board of a Nantucket Whaler
on the 25th of May, 1849. while in the South Sea.
It appears that the meat which was served to the
crew was so bad that it was impossible to eat it, nud
one night, one of them named Win.F. W. Clark, a
native of Winchester, Virginia, threw it overboard
The next day the Captain, Isaac Hussey, called the
men ait, and demanded w ho had thrown the meat
overboard, when Clark admitted that he hnd, at the
same time stating, that the men were willing to
work, hut that it was impossible fur thorn to perform
their arduous duties, unless they were supplied with
the necessary provisions. Upon this, the Captain
seized a musket and deliberately shot the man
through the head, killing him instantly.
It is stated that shortly afterwards the vessel touch
ed at Sidney, and the American Consul was inform
ed of tbe transaction; but instead of taking steps to
bring the murderer to justice, advised him to keep
out, of the way, and he remained at s ome distance
from the port until the ship was ready for sea.
The Dry Gondn Trade.
New-York, Nov. 30.—The movements in Dry
Goods continue on alimited scale, the season being
over for any large transactions in connection with
the internal trade of the country. The only branch
that appears to have much animation at present is
tlie California Clothing trade, and large shipments
are making in that direction. The last advices from
San Francisco were of u considerable advance in thn
prices of clothing, with reduced stock. Bleached
and unbleached shirtings and sheetings are in light
demand in the market, but prices are firm and a fur
ther is advance deemed certain at the commencement
of the New Y’ear. Stocks are very small in compar
ison with former years at this period. Drills light in
stock and dcrannd; prices must advance with the
slightest increase of inquiry. Osriaburga nnd bag
ging show some inquiry, but stocks ure very small,
and deficient in assortment: prices are strength
ening. Denims ure in quiet demand from the cloth
ing trade, with no stock of any importance, and pri
ces are buoyant. Stripes are firmly held; with little
present inquiry, confined mostly to the clot,liiDg trude.
Low qualities of ticks are scarce and wanted; tlte high
er grades are dull and heavy. There has been a Let
ter inquiry for cotton flannels, tho stock of. which
is much reduced, and prices nre buoyant. Jeans are
in moderate request, greater than the light stock can
supply, and sales for future delivery are raakintr.
Printed Cloths aro not active, and the supply allows
stock to accumulate.
The sales of the week nre only 2a300 pieces. Prices
however are very firm, as on the tlie recurrence of
an active demand, certain at an early period, the pro
duction will be scarcely equal to tlie supply of the
usual wants of the trade. Prints show an improve
ment. Some descriptions sell quickly on arrival, al
lowing of no stock. Madders, blue and orange are
in especial request. Ginghams are in moderate re
quest at t'ullprices. The manufacturers nre fully em
ployed. Chambmys are quiet, mostly in reference
to the spring trade. Linseys continue heavy and
dull. Tbe stock left over from the season now-
closed is large. Mouslin delaines nre in course of man
ufacture for the spring trade, anticipating a large de
mand at that period. The stock is exceedingly light.
Some of the fall styles aro out of the market altogether.
The demand has been active enough all tlie season to
keep prices remunerative. Domestic cloths are ad
vancing, but tho demand is yet light. Sntinetts are
quiet, as usual, at this season. The stock is full and
prices rather heavy. Sheeps greys show an increas
ing stock, with but a slight inquiry. Cassimeres are
dull, and prices rather lees firm, with a considerable
stock. Some transactions in enseimeres are report
ed, anticipatory ofa revival of demand nt higher
rates. Tweeds show a diminished inquiry, with a
continued free supply of goods, and prices are not so
firm. Blankets are inactive. Flannels are in fair re-
quest, at very full prices. Shawls are in stonily re.
quest, and prices nre firm. French stylos are in de
niniul. Silks nre very inactive, with asmnll stock in
first hands, remaining over for tlie next season.—
French goods of all kinds are not unich inquired af
ter at present, liroche Paris shawls excepted, which
aro wanted. There are, however, some considerable
sales of new styles French goods making, to arrive -

Smith, of Connecticut, to a Miss Litchfield, in

liability, sbe was wood and wo. Sbeis greatly to be

Another American Sculptor.—Wi liamW
Story, the only son of the celebrated J udge, und who
originally Btudied the law, ubnndoned some three or
four years ago bis profession, and repaired to Italy to
improve tab-nti which he badulready exhibited in
the art of sculpture. He executed a bust of bis father
just before the death of that distinguished jurist, and
a copy of it has been ordered by tlie Benchers of the
inner Temple at fyndon. Mr. Stohy is now in this
country, and lias with him, among other fine models,
one which represents a girl writing the word "Love”
with her finger in the sand—a beautifully poetic idea,
which he intrude perpetuating in marble. His name
will have to be added to those of Powers. Green
ovgh and Crawford, to form the bright galaxy of
sculptors, who have shown to old Italy rim the plas
tic art has i'cuad mi abiding place ou our western
shores.
