I ^ ill our brethren of the press give this no
tire a few insertions ?
The Rr.alt,
From official and unofficial returns we are sat-
i>fied that Gov. Brown is re-elected for the third
arm by a large majority. The official returns
c mie in slowly. Wo publish them as far as
received, and will continue to do so, until the
List is completed.
To ('«rrcs(iou<!ciit«.
We have s*veral communications in relation to
the Governor s election that have cotne to hand
since (lie election. As they were all in favor of
Gov. Biowd, and ns it is now certain that I10 is
eiectid. we do not think it necessary to publish
:i i m. We have one interesting letter from our
v utileers ia A irginia which shall appear in out
n?xt.
Tlic Prrs« nml Cor. Brawn.
He lore the election, 1 lie opponents of Governor
Brown boasted that the press, with a few excep-
t oris, were opposed to Gov. Brown, and gave
that as a good indication, that Gov. Brown would
!»• deb ated. They claimed ‘21 papers for Judge
N.sbet. and gave Gov. Brown five or six. The re
st::: not only shows that the five or six for Gov.
brown have the largest censtitnsncy, but it
shows, even in the large cities, where Governor
Brown had no friendly papt r to advocate bis
cause, that bis opponent bad but small majorities.
*aJ in one city, Columbus, Governor Brown dis
tauced his opponent. So much for the vaunted
influence of the Press. The people were ahead
of the press, in the late election, and have ad
ministered a rebuke to their zeal, which is no
diubt fully appreciated by all interested.
The I'x|f«»riation of t'otfon.
We copy in another coinniu, .... article from the
Charleston Mercury, which fully expresses our
own opinions, as to the policy of exporting cotton
while the blockade lasts. Lincoln will readily
permit English and French ships to come after the
cotton if we will only agree to let them have it.
To appease these two nations, and remove the
necessity for raising the blockade, Lincoln's
government will consent .
vessels into all our ports. But o
know whether cotton is really king or not. If
England and France must have cotton they will
break the blockade and get it. If they cin do
without it, then cotton is not king, and the sooner
our government and people learn the fact, and
begin to depend on theirother resources, and own
strong arms, the better for us all. To allow the
cot:on to he shipped while the blockade lasts j
would do our cause groat injury and retard tin-
peaceful settlement of oar difficulties. The gov
ermr.ent can contrive a way to furnish the planter
with a currency to pay his debts and buy what he
needs, if the people will receive it. But more
about this feature of the subject, hereafter. We
hope onr planters will keep their cotton at home
for the present.
Uratli of I.lent. I&t-nry Trippe.
The remains of Lieut. Ilenry Trippe of the 2nd
I! giineni of Georgia Regulars, reached here on
Wednesday last and were escorted to the grave
by the Baldwin Blues Jr. and a large number of
f :snds. Lieut. Trippe died in Virginia of disease
incurred on duty with his regiment. Cut down
iu the (lower of youth and in the midst of use-
f 1 .less to his country, his death is to be deplored
»• a public loss. Like many other gallant Geor
gia boys, he has fallen at his post, and his name
dserves to bo treasured by the side of the gallant
deal who have fallen fighting fo. their country and
liberty. Lieut. Trippe formerly resided at Fort
V alley, Oa. Hi* Darents reside at Midway, and
we deeply sympathize with them in their great
bereavement. He was a young man, and a phy
sician by profession.
Tlic way of the Trcinsresior is liaril.
The Savannah Republican feels bad. But we
fear it is net so much on account of any sincere
repentance for the evil which he attempted to do,
as because he did not succeed to any great extent.
We come to this conclusion because he never
made any explanation until after the election
about that infamous letter signed Joe Brown, and
evidently calculated, if not intended, to make
honest men believe that Gov. Brown had with
drawn his name from the contest. It is too late
now that the election is over, to pretend that
h» did not intend to deceive the people. Sev-
eal men in adjoining counties either came or sent
to Milledgevil.e, to know if Gov. Brown had with
drawn his name, giving as a reason for making
the enquiry, that they had been told that he had
Pluhshed a card in the Savinnah Republican to
that effect. These meu did not read the Republi
can themselves and did not know it3 char
a ter, and therefore should not be called fools
for believing any thing found in that paper.
Because we exposed this miserable trick, the Re
publican aocuses us of slandering him. Slander
indeed' Why it would be impossible lor us to
intent anything one half as severe agaiust him as
to tell the plum truth. That is severe enough in
a conscience. The Republican has for a long
tune been afflicted with the Broicn-phobia, and
w efear that the crushing rebuke given him by the
P"Opli-of Georgia, will not improve his condition-
An Important Prophecy.
The Savannah Republican of the 5th inst, says:
I he reasons that elevated Gov. Brown to a
tnird term will be strengthened two years to come,
•til continue to increase in cogency until the
Alnnghtv shall think proper to remove him from
terrestrial affairs.”
T* e put this prophecy on record for future use,
f r we consider it an admission on the part of the
Republican, that Gov. Brown will make a better
Executive for the next two years, than ever be-
” p ,snd also that lie will continue to get better
^r-d better as long as he lives. Hurrah for Joe
ro "n, and may the Republican in this respect
be like him.
F^Kev. C. W. Lane* will address the citizens

en aground swell of public opinion that has
c tnp etcly overwhelmed the getters up and the
a„ o.s.nt iat Convention. The people had deter-
»nned to re elect Gov. Brown long before the Con
vention met, and the efforts made to choke down
public opinion, made the people angry, and
! IC ver< f' t:t which they have given at the ballot
OOX, is intended more as a stern rebuke to the
Convention, its aiders and abettors, than as show-

was so unfortunate as to receive the nomination of

iticians, who figured in that Convention, and
iliose who gave aid and comfort to them after
wards, will have reason to remember the ground
swell which they have raised.
* timely Arliclr—TV 111-re do the goods route
from ?
The following timely and pointed article we
,ake from tiie Richmond Examiner. It is strange
indeed toat certain articles disappear, and are
straightway supplied, and it is equally strange
hat a lew men generally have the articles needed,
and charge any price for them they can squeeze
out of the customer. Where do they get their goods
from 1 \\ o agree with the Examiner that the
subject ought to be brought before the public fo
action :
There is little doubt that the business of smug
gling is going 011 at this time on as large a scale
as was ever known before in the history of the
world Nobody meets with any difficulty in find-
ng any article of goods or provisions that he
desires. Wiiatever the article may he. it can he
tiad; hut it can only be had at a tremendously
high price. Ir is not that the supply of merchan
lise is limited, for like the oil 111 the widow’s
ruise, it does not diminish in the hands of the
few provident dealers by the drafts made upon it :
bat it is, that those who are fortunate enough to
posses unfailing stocks, have a monopoly of the
trade, and can exact what prices they choose to
put upon their goods.
It is given out that, as to those brought into
Richmond, Maryland is the source from which
these constant supplies of goods and merchandise
are procured. It is said that they are brought
into Virginia by small schooners plying from Bal
timore, which know how to run up into the creeks
fth>. Potomac and the Bay. Be this as it may.
certain it is that the goods do come in large quan
tities into Virginia, and that the trade is in the
hands of a few enough men ami firms to enable
lieni to command what prices they may choose to
fix upon their property.
No matter what may be the channel through
which these goods are brought into the South, it
juite certain that they are procured from the
North. They are brought in in defiance of our
revenue laws, and they are. paid for in defiance
f our sequestration act. The business is fraudu
lent from beginning to end ; and the high prices
exacted by the smugglers of the goods operate as
a salvo to the consciences of the smugglers.
But th« is not the only form in which a large
lass of the community arc manifesting a disposi
tion to speculate upon the condition of the eoun-
’ry. Tiiere is a general tendency among all
classes of dealers, in all classes of articles, to de
mand exorbitant prices for their commodities.—
And this tendency is not confined to the dealers in
those articles that are not produced in the South,
and would naturally become scarce during the
suspension of external trade. It is tli ’ case as to
every article that is bought and sold, except those
produced by the farmer and the husbandman.—
He alone, of all the people who have commodities
11, is forced to take half prices for his farm
produce, while he is compelled to pay double
prices for the supplies for which he goes into
market.
It is a very curious phenomenon that a farmer
may find any article of trade which he can possi
blv desire in the market, from a hogshead of sugar
to an ounce of quinine, from a camel’s hair shawl
to a papir of pins, and can command it by pay
ing double prices ; but the moment he offers his
own farm pn ducts for snle. at once he must drop
his prices to half rates, and listen to ingenious ar
guments to convince him that he may thank his
stars that he can get even them.
This disposition to speculate upon the yeomanry
of tho country on both sides of the account book
is the most mortifying feature of the war. It is a
species o. ia.iKeG tiuk i.itrt ill assorts wiin tiie
nobles cause in which the country is engaged.—
The “army worm” never appeared in the countrj
in such formidable array, with so ferocious an
appetite, or so destructive a voracity, as it has
appeared in the South within the last month 01
two.
While the speculators are devouring the sub
stance of the people, and defrauding the Govern
mentol ils revenues, the Government itself is un
wittingly aiding and abetting them in their vo-
- cions work - The excuse alleged for the high
u m'-lassos. meat, fuel, and all
taken possession ot the rai »ui» to u*-
ransportation, and that the transportation of the
puhlic is at a stand still. Hundreds of car loads
of sugar and salt and merchandise of many de
seriptions are said to he lying in the depots ot
ihe West, unable to make their way to Eastern
markets, by reason of the action of the Govern
ment.
There is doubtless some truth in the numerous
allegations on this subject; but it is simply in
credible to suppose that the railroads could not
bring down tiiese articles, if they used the propei
energy, in sufficient quantities to meet the current
demands of the community. The tact that what
ever articles a person may want can be readily
found, and can he procured by paying the enor
rnous prices demanded, proves that they exist in
sufficient quantity in market for the wants of the
community, and are made to command the ele
vated prices at which they are sold hy combina
tions of speculators. We will not say that the
body of speculators is large and powerful enough
to influence the policy of the railroads and to oh
struct their freight operrtions. for we do not know
the fact, and could not designate the names ot
the conspirators or the railroads; but we d<
state the undeniable /act that the public firmly
believe that such combinations and conspiracies
exist.
Whatever obstruction the Government occa
sions in the freight operations of the railroads is
but temporary, and will he removed when the ne
cessity for it ceases. We have no doubt that
Government has laid its hand quite heavily upon
the roads tanning from this city to Manassas
and that a people dependent upon these roads foi
supplies have suffered greviously from the neces
sity Government was under to monopolize the
trains ; but this fact does not hold in regard to the
roads running 8-utilward in connection with th>
Southern markets ; and it is these latter roads
against which the public feeling is more particular
ly directed.
There have been various convocations and
Conventions held in the South, since the war,
with reference to currency. Government loans and
other matters of public moment. It seems to 11s
that the prevailing high prices, the ttnconsciona
ble speculations going on in the necessaries of
life, the deficient transportation of the railroads
ami the wholesale smuggling that is rife, also af
ford matters weighty enough forthe deliberations
of a Convention of the people.
A beautiful thought
There have been so many beautiful things said
and written about death, and so many consoling
and happy conceptions of the soul’s existence alter
death that he must bo a bold writer indeed to es
say to engage the reader's attention with an ex
tended article on this subject. A few days ago
while reading an article in the Eclectic Magazine
of a recent date, we were touched with the closing
paragraph. It the reater does not agree with us
that the ideaand language of this writer is “beau
tiful exceedingly” then we think he has never
touched his ear to the lips of a dying child.
“Never think, reader, that the dear ones you
have seen die, had tar to go to meet God after they
oarted liom you. Never think, parents who have
Le p n your children die. that after they left you,
they had to traverse a dark solitary way, along
which you would have liked (if it had been pos
sible) to lead them by the hand, and bear them
company till they came into the presence of God.
Yon ditl so, if yoti stood by them till the last
breath was drawn. You did bear them company
into God's very presence, if you only staid beside
them till they >iied. The moment they left you,
they were with him. The slight pressure of the
cold fingers lingered with you yet; but the little
child was with his Saviour.”

Comparative pay of the Northern and South
ern Armies.
We have heard many persons complain at the
excessive amounts received by our officers in the
Confederate Army, and some have contended that
they receive double the pay of the Federal Army | ,j 0 j t 1
officers. This was our own opinion until re
cently, when we saw the following statement in
the Richmond Enquirer, which that paper has ob
tained from reliable data. This statement shows
that while there is an apparent difference, yet in
fact the Northern officers get the most pay Our
plan is more direct and honest, theirs more indi
rent and thieving.
Theie is however too great a disparity between
the pay ot the private and his officer. The latter
has none of the drudgery of the camp to perform
and is far less exposed to sickness and danger
The pay of Liucolu's private soldiers is $13 per
month, ours receive only $11. Ihe following is

The pay of a Firs* Lieutenant in the
Confederate army, in full, is $30 00
In higher grades, the difference of pay in favor
of U. S. officers is greater. For instance, in the
U. S. army, field and staff officers draw commuta
tion for forage at the rate of eight dollars per
month, whether they actually keep the horses or
not In the C. S. army, commutation for forage
can only he drawn when the horses ore actually
kept and mustered into the service. In both ser
vices, nine dollars per month additional pay is
allowed for every five years service. In the
Artillery and Cavalry the same proportion is ob
served.
If we take, for example, the office of Colonel,
the comparison will stand thus:
The pay of a Northern Colonel, exclusive of
forage, is $2(10 40 per month. The pay of a Con
federate Colonel, exclusive of forage, is $195 00
per-month. The Northern Colonel is allowed for
the forage of three horses, whether lie keeps horses
or not—a further sum of $24 per month—while
our Colonel receives forage only when he uses
horses, and for the number used.
In the U. S. Army, the pay proper is less than
one-half of the entire compensation received by
the officer. In the Confederate services, the pay
is in full nj all allowances, except for fuel, quar
ters, forage, and traveling expenses when travel
ing under orders. Commutation for fuel and quar
ters is only allowed when public quarters cannot
be furnished, forage only for horses actually inns
tered into service, and traveling expenses at ten
cents per mile. Commutation for fuel and quar
ters. and travelling expenses, is allowed iu the
U. S. service, in addition to the allowances enu
merated above.
It is thus seen that, when the case is fully
stated, our officers rece'vo /ess than the officers ot
the Northern army, instead of more than double,
as has been supposed. The misapprehension
grows out of the fact that we state the pay hon
estly, and they smother theirs up in extras.

“HORNE HEARDS.”
We are glad to greet once more on the street,
the familiar countenance of our young towsman,
Lieut. Jas H. Nichols, of the Governor’s Horse
Guards; and to judge from his appearance, one
would be inclined to the belie! that the hardsLip of
the camp agreed with him.
Lieut. Nichols, accompanied hy his mother, who
will devote her time and attention to nursing the
sick and wounded, will return to Western Virgin
ia, about the 20th inst .when ail the fi tends of the
Guards will have an opportunity of sending to
their friends such clothing and Hospital stores as
they feel disposed. As so little lias been done for
this Company, who are now exposed not only to
the “destruction that stalketh 111 darkness and the
pestilence that wasteth at noonday,’’ but to «
merciless foe : iu defence of all we hold sacred and
dear it is hoped and believed that the citizens of
Old Baldwin, wdl not ha wantingin the patriotism
and liberality for which she is so justly celebrated.
Then let us cheer the hearts and strengthen the
hands, of these brave men, who are making so
many sacrifices for us, by giving liberally of the
abundance with which a kind providence has
tilled our store houses and our barns.
Even now, whilst we are at home, surrounded

amount of miscellaneous matter which presents meet me at Gordon that, evening. I regret very
movements of our Regiment from
l..o ti. *hn time ot its en
campment near Aia::„ •• v --e
been informed by the ,-w
The long interval of rest, which we er.
seijuent to that movement, was interrupted on the
afternoen of the 10th by the order to be ready to
move at day-light on the next morning. The
bustle in Camp consequent upon preparation, had
hardly subsided, when the morning call was beaten
and we took up the line of march towards Fairfax
C. II. Arriving within four miles of that place,
we again encamped and prepared to forget the
fatigue of the day in that calm deep sleep which
is the greatest blessing of the weary soldier.
But vain was the hope, for but few had sunk into
forgetfulness, when a quick call rang along the
lines, and in ten minutes more we were again
en route with nothing but our arms. It was a wet
and miserable night, and our march was along a
terrible road amid daikness so intense that it
could bo felt. The men were falling on all sides
in the deep mud, and it was impossible even to
see those who were touching you, but the hope of
meeting tho Y’ankees kept up our spirits, and the
difficulties of tho way were made matters of jest
and laughter. It had been reported that before
the morrow's dawn we would meet the foe, and
our disappointment can be imagined when we
were halted at midnight and told that the enemy
had been met and repulsed. We lay on our arms,
in tho rain, until morning, and then marched back
to our Camps, feeling decidedly “sold” but not
otherwise injured. We remained in Camp until
Sunday, when we were moved forward two miles,
b-ingnow about that distance from Fairfax C. H.
Our eueampment here is a very pleasant one.
Tho lines were laid out in such a manner as to
throw the officers’ tents of our Company on the
highest point of ground, giving us the benefit of
plenty of fresh air, and a fine view of the sur
rounding country. The other Regiments of our
Brigade are encamped near us: as also two Com
panies of Artillery, the one from Martiusburg,
Va., and the other from Americus, Geo. The
health of our troops is rapidly improving under
the 6trict hygienic regulations which have been
adopted here, and I am in hopes we will soon be
able to report a clean list As lor tho .prospect of
ba'tle, that lies in the untried future, and around
the future of our operations an impenetrable veil
of mystery is drawn. I indulged in a ramble
yestetday for the purpose of looking up some of

For the Southern Federal Union.
Messrs. Editors: We are gettiug up hospital
stores, such as are essential for our wounded and
sick soldiers for the last company which has left
us for our defence, the Governor’s Horse Guards.
We know that none of our patriotic countrymen
of Baldwin will hesitate a moment to be our
soldiers friends, in giving such necessaries for our
absent and sick or wounded soldiers as may be in
their power to furnish; w ho could hesitate to give
to the lips of our countrymen what sickness and
wounds may demand for their comfort, perhaps
for their lives, thus risked in our behalf. We name
some of the requisites. Arrow Root, Rice, Flour,
Tapioca, Wines, Brandy. Mustard, Quinine and
medicines w hich are of use for such occasions.
One of our ladies, is going on as a nurse who is
doing her patriot duty and she will cairy to the
needed spot whatever may be furnished. Come
countrymen with the sick soldiers requisites and
hand what you can to Scott &. Caraker. Tinsley
& Nichols or Grieve & Clark and receive for
your reward the luxury of a high heart and a
good conscience.
TIIE SOLDIERS FRINED.
A gentleman who had returned to Arkansas
from a visit to St. Louis, communicates to an Ar
kansas paper a good joke 011 General Fremont,
who, it seems, got up, mounted and equipped a
body of troops as a special body guard ; their
horses were gupeiior, and their arms and appoint
meuts of the finest description. He was proud
of it. It lvas to be his pet. But one day this
fine body went out to pL-rform snndry evolutions at
about two miles from the city, and they never
came back. They were last heard of in General
Hardee’s camp, where they accidently found
their way. If any one wants to see Fremont
mad, it is only necessary to mention body guard
in his presence.
[Special Dispatch to the Daily Morning News.]
Charleston, Oct. 4.—The Hon. P. Phillips,
lady, two daughters and Miss Levy, the ladies
recently imprisoned by Lincoln, have arrived
here and will leave for Savannah to morrow.

New Orleans, Oct. 4.—The sloop-of-war Vin
cennes, a large propeller, the steamer Water Witch,
and two sloops of-war, names unknown, a schooner
and pilot boat are now lying at the head of the
fortunately the Regiments were on j icket duty, j Passes
near Munson's Hill. Deceived by what the Vir-! A Frru. h Ha.i-of^nr 'i.. the Mississippi
ginians call ‘•miles,” 1 walked on until I found j yesterday evening says the X. O. Picayune, of the
myself in Bonham’s Brigade, around which the j 24th. Coin. Hollins received a telegraphic dispatch from
main body of the Army is encamped. Here 1
found one of my Classmates, and, standing in
front of bis tent, I was at the bottom of an in
c ined plain of vast extent, while upon its gradual
slope the Brigades of our Army were encamped
in almost countless numbers. It was the hour of
the evening drill, and from that single point
thousands of bayonets could be seen dashing
back the sunbeams in wavering lines of light. It
was a scene I loved, and I lingered till the sinking
sun reminded me that I was many miles from
Camp and in a strange country. Retracing my
steps, I reached Camp in time for supper. One
of my Classmates has died near this place. His
name, Hugh Montgomery, was well known in
Midway and vicinity, and no doubt many friends
will regret his early death. Bat I havo already
trespassed too long on your patience. The health
of our Company is remarkably good, and under
the drill of our efficient Captain are being rapidly
perfected iu all that makes the soldier. Already
the palm is yielded to it in the Regiment, and should
the time come when the storm of battle shall
burst upon ns, old Baldwin-need not fear for her
fame, when entrusted to the brave hearts and
stalwart arms of the “Baldwin Volunteers.”

with liis compliments to the French captain, and an

Levan worth, l> an. T., f ept. 2/.-Th t Federal
j scouts this morning report s rong coii m is of tbc-
ConfederaUs marching Northward frtm Lexing
ton. Tueir destination is supposed to be St. Jo
sephs.
Leavenworth, Sept. 28.—Reports from Gen
cneral Lane's command, say, that after a suc
cessful engagement, “the rebels” at Papinsville.
made a forced march to Osceola, surpris.ng and
capturing a supply train.
Jefferson City, Sept. 28.—Capt. Walter,
from Col. Marshall’s regiment, has arrived here
trom Lexington, which place he left on Tuesday
noon. He says that the main body of Price’s force
was at Lexington when he left. All of the Federal
ifficers had been re leased on parole, but Mulligan,
who refused to give his, for private reasons. Price,
probably, has 35,090 men with him, and confident
ly expected Gen. Hardee with 8 or 9,000 men to
join him on Thursday. Ten thousand “rebels’”
bad been sent across Missouri from Lixington on
Thursday, with the avowed intention of attacking
Kansas Lane.
It is said that the Federalists had no cartridges,
grape, or other shot, and no shells left at the time ot
tho surrender of Li xington; but lost two or three
hundred kegs of powder.
The Confederates were casting all kinds of ball:
and the Lexington foundry was running day and
night.
1 he Confederates were greatly encouraged by
their victory, and confidently declare that St. Loui:
will soon be in their possession.
Gen. Price’s official report of the battle of Lex
ington has been teceived. The following is the
closing paragraph:
“Our entire loss in this series of engagements
amounts to 25 killed and 72 wounded. The ene
my s loss was much greater. The visible fruits of
this almost bloodless victory are great. We have
taken about 3,590 prisoners, among whom are
Cols. Mulligan, Marshall, Reding, White, and
Grover, aud Major Van Horn, together with 118
other commissioned officers, five pieces of artillery,
andtwo mortars, over three thousand stand of in-
lantry arms, a large number of sabres, about 759
horses, many cavalry equipments, teams, and
ammunition, more than $i0tt,990 worth of Com-
missary’s siorts, and a large amount of other
property. In addition to all this, we obtained the
restoration of the great seal ot the State, the pub
lic records which had been stolen from the proper
custody, ami about $960,999 in money, of which
the Banks in this place had been robbed, and w hicb
I have caused to be returned ”
A Federal officer from Lixington says that a
tew members ot Gov. Jackson’s Legislature had
assembled in that town, and passed the Ordinance
of Secession. When the informant Iett, they
were discussing an act for the confiscation ot
property. Parsons was opposed to the Southern
Confederacy.
CAPTURE OF A BARK.
Philadelphia, Sept. 27.—The U. S. steamer
Brooklyn has arrived from the mouth of the Mis
sissippi. She reports having captured a bark
hound from Rio to New Orleans, aboard of which
a prize crew was placed, and she was ordered to
Philadelphia.
KANSAS AFFAIES.
M r yar,dotte, Kansas, Sept. 24.—The Acting
Governor has issued an order that every man in
ihe State, between ihe agf s of 18 and 45, shall im
mediately enroll himself in some military com
pany; and each company is order to hold itself in
readiness for marching orders; each man is to furn
ish ail tiie arms in his possession; the refusal of any
man fo obey the order is to be taken as an evidence
of disloyalty, and treated accordingly.

Iu short, the navigation of that river is actually
and completely closed.

Memphis, Tenn.. Oct. 4.—Gen. Hardee and his
troops are at Columbus, Ky.
Gen. Jeff Thompson’s force is at New Madrid,
bound to St Louis, and will join with Gens. Price
and McCulloch.
Gen. Clark is moving hence in the same direc
tion, with 29 pieces of cannon.
Eight thousand Confederates have moved to
wards Paducah from Columbus.
The Kentuckians are redeeming Kentucky from
Federal thraldom, and they predict that the
Southern winter quarters will be in St. Louis,
Louisville. Washington and Baltimore.
No Cotton from Charleston.
The Mercury says it is now settled by the patriot
ism of the shippers, and tho will of the people ot
Charleston, that no cotton will be shipped trom
that port to foreign nations. The embargo which
Coni*-“»« lias failed to put upon the exportation ol
’ ° — h’na have ini-
for
the people of South Carolina oa ,
of selt-sairifice and patriotism, unless it .
ported by the people ot the other States in out
seaport towns. If cotton is exported from Sa
vannah, Mobile or New Orleans, the policy tails.
Foreign nations, hy obtaining partial supplies ot
cotton, through a blockade rendered inefficient for
the purpose, will hope for more; and thus be in
duced to withhold that decisive action, which
should be enforced, to rid themselves and us of a
blockade which no nation should respect on ac
count of its illegality, according to the law of
nations.
'These views have our cordial endorsement, and
we hope to see perfect unanimity on the subject
in the Southern ports.
As for rice, turpentine, &c , we would let them
go. They are perishable commodities, and to
keep them we should ha tar greater losers than
any one else. And besides, ships must have back
freights of some sort, nr they will cease to come
to our ports. It is cotton that keeps the industry
of the world in motion and saves empires from
disorder and overthrow. Lotus direct our atten
tion exclusively to that article, and not lose our
commerce altogether, and have valuable products
rotting in our storehouses and barns, from a too
stringent prohibition on exports.
