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.

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. sSWEarsriaio Thursday MornliiK, December 5,' 1S30. 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. Ilook Notice*. 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 English society which itunfoids is both novel and 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. Additional Memoirs of My Youth.

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. thkrk is LUCK ABOUT THEnot^r $20,000 FIItAWN NUMBERS—Ol Greene in, I l" Monument Lottery, Extra Class No 1U 1 a'" M | in Alexandria.

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 - at nn early period, for the spring demand. Low priced Belgian and German cloths Rre in re. quest for the clothing trade to supply the Southern and California demand, as well as low Y’orkshire goods, many of which are made in imitation of Ger man anti are made to pass for them. Fine broadcloths sod vestings are in request. Staple British goods, are in large stock, but held firmly und will prevent any large importation in thn spring of such goods, not merely because tho stock here is large, hut becauso new goods must come out at much liigher prices.
