It treats upon a subject of great importance to us all, especially our mercantile cemmunity. We have too long made ourselves dependent upon the north, we have looked to them lor our lrcm cotton cloth groceries, hardware and all such mate- rial, as we have for a long time allowed tn?ra to think and write for us while we have had, within ourselves, all the elements, equal if not superior to Nhem, to make the south as prominent in all respects as their most favored localities. . ' Mfe noDe tkseo tile dT wbM ,uiw f .-. Wato 'iwiVy we"4! rurther-we see that a Boston firm, advertise "cotton material the produc tion of free labor only sold with us'' we would ad vocate with every slaveholder to purchase of the merchant who imported his foreign goods, direct from Europe, and who has less of northern produc tion in his establishment. The almighty dollar is that which governs the Nortli touch thcirdollars and you touch their prin ples. A course adopted like that advocated by our cor respondent who by the way is one of our most in fluential merchants would do more to change the sentiments of the Northern people than all the po litical parties underchristendom. We trust that two years may not elapse until all our merchants will import directly from Europe thair foreign goods, either to the port of Charleston or Wilmington. The thing can be done it only wants an effort and it will be accomplished. ABOLITION OF GRANDJURIES. j We see that the State of Michigan has abolished j grand juries and substituted in its stead indictments upon information. The State of Vermont has also introduced a hill of the same nature, which will doubtless pass. New Hampshire, Massachusetts Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Louisiana have taken partial steps to abolish the grand jury system, and we really believe it would be of vast benefit to the several States to do away with it entirely. It would certainly reduce the taxes of the counties vastly, and we can not see where the necessity exists for their continuance. AVe think it ought to be lft optional to proceed in criminal pro socutions by indictment or information. It is said that the Democratic party North is loosing ground. This is not supported by facts. The Democratic gain in Massachusetts of this year over last was 7,100; New Jersey, 10,000; Wisconsin, 3,000; Iowa, 1,000; Pennsylvania, 8,000 ; Ohio, 7,100; California, 10.000. , . Minnesota anil "Verniout stand the same as last year on the popular vote. New York elects a half of the State Democratic ticket, whereas the Repub licans last year elected their entire ticket by full twenty thousand majority. In no State, save Minnesota and Vermont, has the Republican party' maintained its ground. The De mocracy have gained largely in nearly every State, and but for divisions with in their own ranks would have achieved complete victories in most of the above named States. With the unity and har mony which is fast, pervading .their councils, a glo rious triuph must be awaiting them in the grand contest of a year hence. Gold Mixes is Missoriu. The Evening Bulletin an" nouaces, on the authority of the editor of The Arcada Prospect, the organ of Missouri mining interests, in telligence of the discovery in South-East Missouri of a vein of hornblende rock, which it is believed will yield $,10,000 worth of gold to the ton. Assays are uow beina made, and the next issue of The Arcada Prospect will contain full particulars. Mrs. Morriscy has recently blessed John, her pu gilistic lord, with a diminutive prize-fighter.

The stat ue in the work of an American artist, Joel T. Hart, who modeled it at Florence. . - . That is just what we wished to hear, and is no more than should be expected from New York. The Day Book says : " We understand that several of our prominent citizens have in contemplation the calling of a meet ing, to express their sympathy with the South in the present crisis, and their entire disapproval of the course of certain presses and clergymen in this city. As soon as the Abolitionists get done howling, which will not be long, the true, constitution-loving citizens of New York propose to have a word to say." Soojc NoxjcKa-A"W have on our table Lu Scott & Co.'s re-publications of the Westminster and Edin burgh Reviews for October, and Blackwood's Month ly Magazine for November, 1859- , .The contents of these valuable British periodicals, are as usual, re markably interesting ; comprehending a vast amount of the best selected subjects. Many of them bear upon the present unsettled state of Europe. We would recommend the perusal of these No.'s to all who desire to obtain a more perfect knowledge of the threatening aspect of the political atmosphere of European affairs. , THE BANNER TO STAND OR DIE BY. Under this head, the infamous book of Helper, endorsed by the Governor of New York, sixty-eight members of Congress, Northern merchants, manu facturers, &c, has this among its recommendations : "JVo patronage to proslacery merchants; no guestuhip in slace-waitinfi lioteU ; no fees to pro ducer ij lawyers; no emplyment af pro-slavery pnyscians ; no audience to pro-slnvery parsons." What do the people of the South say to that ? Have we lost all pride, all self-respect to listen to the above without taking some action, and placing our selves beyond the reach of these black mouthed northern fanatics ? Let us of the south, in view of their wonton and determined attempt to destroy us, our credit, and property, turn upon them make war upon them by a total withdrawal of patronage from them. As between north and south let it be like the Jews and Saniaratans no dealings! no IN TERCOURSE ! NO PAUiOHAGB !

' Strange sort of logic that. We deny first that the Opposition as a party is conservative, nor can it be shown where they exist, except in New York and New Jersey and Maryland. Unless our friend calls the Black Republican party a portion of the Opposition. ' In Pennsylvania, they always vote with the Blacks. In Ohio it is the same, so also in Mass-, Connecticut and all the New England States. We cannot see where the Opposition did any thing in '50 to defeat the Black Republican party, except to throw away the vote of Maryland, which is now good for a Democratic President in 'CO. They did not secure a single electoral vote to tha democracy in '0(1 and how can they in 'GO. The fact is, the triumph of Black Republicanism in any shape or form is contributed to, by the Oppo sition in the South, unwillingly it may be, but it is nevertheless so. When the North sees the South divided they are encouraged, and continue in their now, fanatical course. - : But our cotemporary has a great liki:ig to the Op position. It pronounces them conservative. V ell, for our part we have never seen their platform, ex cept one plank, and that was opposition to Democra cy, a sort of indefinite conservati.-m it must be. But, we have forgotten, it is conservative, because, in Missouri it advocates the abolition of slavery, and in Georgia, it advocates a Congressional slave code and the re-opening of the African slave trade. AhJ. TvinT'X7iiticJTT "straws snow wTilch way the wind blows 1 THE PERMANENCY OF THE UNION. A friend has asked of us the question, ' Hmv lonj; do you think, under the present state of tiiing, is it possible for the Union to last V To answer that question, we woulud simply say that itwill last only so long as the South will bear with indignities, which have been her portion since I Siij until now, and which at last have become to be look ed upon as our right to receive. We are sorry to say it, but despite our love for the Union, its insti tutions, its constitution and the memories which cluster around the once happy family of sovereign and independent State.? we are compelled to be lieve that two years will not have elapsed before a voluntary secesiion will be made by the South and in that event, should the North attempt to use force a civil war, which has not found a parallel in any country, will ensue. We are not of those who in sentiment would put off the evil day, when practically it is even at our doors. So violent is the feeling now in the North that officers in high' standing in their respective States spend their means and money for the circula tion of documents which advocate the forcible and complete extermination of slavery, at ail hazards. How long this state of things will last we can an swer only by referring our readers to the excited tone, of the Northern and Southern press, which is a sure index of the disturbed feeling of both sections. In the state of feeling at present existing 'there is an enmity and bitterness which can only be allayed by the election in 1860 of a second Andrew Jack son, who can say to the troubled waves of political animosity " peace, be still." Where to look for such a one, we confess we are at a loss to know, certain it isjie is not at the North, and it seems we are not permitted to have one from the South, Could we choose however from our own midst, we would raise the Standard for Hknrv Aj Wisb Virginia's noblest son, w-ith him as our standard bearer we could rest in peace, confident that in his election would be panacea for all the presen troubles which seem to force themselves upon our fair republic, threatening its overthrow and final disolution. The prayer of every patriot should be that God in mercy wouhl send some true aud faithful man to raise the standard of the Union, the Constitution and the sovereignty of the States. We wotild refer our readers to the patriotic and able letter taken from the Wil. ' Herald. The sentiments are eminently worthy of a perusal. We thiiik we might trace the correspondence to our friend Mr Frcnsley. What say you, friend F ? Snuff Dipping. No better warning can be given those who indulge in that vile, filthy practice of snuff-dipping, than to publish the following: " Miss Tennessee Gibson died recently near Stran ger's Home, Lawrence County, Ark. She was pas sionately addicted to snuff-dipping, so much so that she retired with her poison in her mouth, and in the morning was found a corpse, with the snuff adher ing to her lips." ; - . . We never believed that a lady would dip snuff at alj events it is not lady-like, and we would re commend to them the formation of an ants-snuff-dipping club. " Boston, Dec. 2.

Sundtty Carriages triumphant Passenger Oars llunning on tinmlay an important Libel case to the J'rexs a fair ropurt of i'murt proceedings no PmsiiCKG, Nov. 29th, 1859, Dkar Carolinian : As I ventured to foretell you, in my last, the Supreme Court on Friday delivered an opinion on the case of James Nesbit, fined twenty-five dollars for driving his employers family to church on Sunday, adverse to the decision of the Mayor. Chief Justice Lourie reduced Nesbits of fense to this : Driving a carriage ou Sunday with persons in it who were not travelers. He then re marked : "It will be seen at once that if the defendant had been driving his own family to church on the Lord's day, he would have been doing the very act that is here charged. If then, this conviction stands at tinned by us, it will be equivalent to a decision by this court that a man cannot drive his family . to church on the Lord's day without transgessing the law; because he will be driving on Sunday a carriage with persons in it, who are not travelers. For any thing appearing on this record, the defendant has don no other or worse act than this, for no sensible man supposes that the law forbids such an act," The most rediculous portion of major Weaver's decision was that the owner of a carriage- could drive his own family to church on Sunday, but not have his hired servant perform the same duty tor him I Now, if his Honor's mind had only been broad enough to allow hiiu to have gone further, and to have decided that the running of all private carriages for church purposes on Sunday, by who soever driven, was prohibited by the act of 179-1, he would' now receive thej sympathy of all radical men. , As the matter stands, the Mayor is not the l.ttlel exponent of '"the rights of the poor against t ic rich'' (which he unquestionably wished to be understood,) but the defeated cats-paw of the direc tors of the Passenger Railway Companies for it was? undoubtedly they wlio urged him to construe the law so illiberally, foolishly and unequally. They reasoned in this way : if we cannot use our passen ger railways on Sunday, and by an ingenious con struction of the law can succeed in prohibiting the running of private carriages, their money will he fourth coining for the repeal of the Sunday act. for f ' nTr wiJt muiW o -urtu)sn orfjtheir privileges. Possibly they had forgotten there was sueiji a body as the Supreme Court ; or, more likely, thejf were acting on the false hypothesis that this Court has decided the running of the passenger cars unlawful. Now such is not the case, the question has' vi t to come before the bench in a proper form for decision and the sooner the better, till then let us rot in peace. Inconsequence of the reversal of the Mayor's judgment, the streets of the city were yesterday alive with the usual equipages, and feeble men and women, lone widows and young children, who had not been to divine service since the memorable des cent on the carriages, were agaii. permitted to hear the consolations of the preached word. The Laurcnceville Passenger Railway is now in full operation on Sunday, but this is in spite of the uiunieipal authority." They have been appointed to carrv the U. S. mad to the borough, and any ob struction ottered by a magistrate ouany day, would be visited by the National authorities with the se verest penalty. Had it not been for the existence of the act of Congress protecting U. S. officers in the performance of their duty from the operation of any local laws, it is whispered about that Major Weaver would have arrested the Post olfice clerks, and prevented the delivery of the mails on Sunday ? (i tell von this as a secret.) What a blessing the national negis was in this instance ! Thomas G. Rutherford was brought into Court on Saturnay morning for sentence. His counsel with drew the motion in arrest of judgment anil for a new trial, and Judge McClure then .remarked to Kiithei lurd that he had been convicted, and sentenc ed him to pay i'50, old PennsylTaniajCUvrency (1;J3.) the cost of prosecution, Stuuo undergo an imprissonment of twelve months'2 the county jail. It is understood that the defendant's friends will soon make application for Executive interference, . I heard Kuthcrl'ord say that " he abhorred the idea of a pardon." He is not idle in his confinement, but writes a good deal on various subjects, geology, as tronouiV, theology, &c. A libel case, of much importance to the Press generally, was tried last week at Greensburg, AVest lnoreland county. The Dispatch of this city pub lished a report of some proceedings had in the Or phans' Court of Allegheny county, reflecting dis creditably on James M Carpenter, a lawyer of West:uV'eland. Mr. U. preferred a suit tor libel. The grt question to be decided by the issue was : Is; n '..i ;.ert of judicial proceedings in a Court of ,ltftticea libel? The defence did not attempt to prove the truth of the article, but only tliat it was a fair report of what transpired. Judge McClure testified that the article was a subdued and softened report of what actually took place. The couns 1 for the plaintiff admitted that by the State Constitution the Courts were open to the people, but contended that the end of publishing was attained by the peo ple who attended their sittings. The counsel for the defendents denied this, and argued with great force that, in such a case the Courts. might as well be closed to the people: that it was necessary, both for the information and protection of citizens that the press should publish faithful reports of all matters of inteiest transpiring jgrfiem. ' The Court did not alfiV--thcr subscribe t v ie w ia its charge ; but the jury, who are 'judge both of the law and the facts" in cases of libel, rendered a verdict of not GLir.iv. Any other verdict would have del t a seri ous blow at the liberty of the Press, and placed in the hands of wicked, tyranical Judges a shure shield against the speedy punishment of their crimes. Therefore, in common with all other publishers of newspapers, " rejoice and be glad." - Impulse. .

All that seems to be necessary is enterprizo and perseverance, and if the merchants of Wilmington, Charleston, and other seaports will unite, it can be easily accomplished. I see Rich mond has called a meeting for the same purpose, and no doubt the Old Dominion will adopt some plan to free herself from all dependence whatever on their aggressive toes. Let other States follow the exam pie and trade at home or not at all. .'they will cer tainly save money by the operation, in the items of interest, exenange, insurance, and traveling expen ses to and from the northern cities. We have made the Cities of the North, let us pttl them down by discontinuing our patronage, and our visits amongst them. If the movement which w ill no doubt be very eeneral in the South, is consum mated, we may expect to see our own Seaports, UP ana nourish into large and commercial Cities in a few years. : Concert of action and a determination to trade no longer with men who have no respect for law, or the Constitution of the country, and who are so foolish and short sighted as to work in direct opposition to their own interest, is the only thing that seems to be necessary. Let all who have an interest in the matter give aid and encouragement, to those who take the first step, and by and by, it will gain a strength and power too formidable for any opposi tion that can bo brought against it.

DEATH OF THE FELON. Cuarletown, Dec. 2. The military assembled at 9 o'clock this morning and were posted on the field leading to the place of execution, also at various points, as laid down in the general orders. Every thing was conducted under the strictest military dis cipline, as if the town was in a state of siege. Mounted scouts were stationed in the woods to the left of the scaffold, and picked guards towards the Shenandoah. xiH.mtms, in the -f".-.- -ti . . . The military on the field were formed into two hollow squares. Within the inner one was the scaffold, and between the outer and inner lines the citizens were admitted, no one being allowed a po sition outside the lines except the mounted guards. At 1 1 o'clock Brown was brought out of the jail, accompanied by Sheriff Campbell, his assistants, and Capt Avis, the jailor. A small wagon, contain ing a wite pine coffin., was driven up, upon which he took his seat i" ; - , Six companies of infantry and riflemen, a compa ny of cavalry, the General and his staff numbering 25 officers, headed the precession . and moved to wards the place of execution. No mirister of the Gospel attended Brown, he desired no religious ceremonies either in jail or on the scaffold. He looked calmly around on the people, fully pos sessed. He mounted the scaffold with a firm step. His arms were then pinioned by the Sheriff. He bid "farewell" to Captain Avis and Sheriff Camp bell. . At half past eleven the trap on the scaffold was pulled away, and with a few slight struggles, Brown yielded up his spirit. His body was placed in the coffin, .and was sub sequently carried to Harper's Ferry, under a strong military escort, to be delivered to his wife.
