The Commercial Policy of the South. That South Carolina will arm, and take action for her safety and independence, in the event" of Lincoln's election, is as cer? tain as his election is certain. There can now, also, be no doubt that five or six other Cotton States, will hold meetings of their Legislatures and call into the form of Conventions the Sovereignty of their people respectively, simultaneous with her Legislature and her proposed Con? vention. That a Confederacy of at least the Cotton States will be formed in three or four months after this "overt act" of Northern Sectional Abolition domination, is as certain as the North thus seizes the reins of control in the present Union, for plunder, for power and for the destruction of Southern institutions. In South Car olina, Georgia. Florida. Alabama. Missis? sippi, Texas and Arkansas, the note of preparation is deep and earnest, and its low muttering will soon swell into the ringing sound of the trumpet's blast. In view of these events, on the very merits of the polity, what should he the commercial action of the South ? At present, in the matter of Cotton, she fur? nishes tho North with the raw material, and also with the money to biry it. Or? dinarily, our commission merchants send "Cotton to Northern manufactures, and draw against it at sixty days, and our banks buy the drafts, and thus furnish the means to pay the planters or factors. The manufacturer converts the cotton into cloth, puts the latter1 on the markets at once, and sells it, and gets his money and his profit, before ho has paid for the raw material. And he makes more out of it than the planter. This course of busi? ness puts the whole body of Southern do? mestic exchange, yes of Southern credit, in a state of dependency in the value and for liquidation, on the condition of North? ern cities."trade and finance. So, also, as to the exchange and credits on cotton shipped to Europe. Our foreign exchange cannot under our present system of busi? ness, be disposed of except in New York at its rates (rates affected by the condi? tion of every branch of Northern trade.) and at this very time the South is losing on this exchange, at the rate of one and a half per cent, on the entire value of the cotton sent to Europe. "We could show that this system and de? pendency result directly from our paper money and banking system. In the mar? ket of the world cotton is cash and cash is coin. And if Europe and the North were required to bring the money to the marts of the South to obtain her produce, she would at once become one of the ^world's chitif specie centres, credits would t tM>c^mo^^pemlent upon her. and slic_ them. Instead of a dependent, site would become a dictator in the world's com? merce. Until the South has direct trade and free trade (which she will never have in this Union) this order of things cannot be j materially changed. But at this political crisis, and when our Banks are so strin? gent, if the commission merchants and Banks of the South would enter upon and cany out an agreement, not to buy for or ship to the North, during the season, any cotton except where money has been pre vionsly furnished from that quarter, the ef? fect would be instant and trememdous up? on present political and commercial rela? tions. It would reverse the attitude of depen? dence, save our Banks from any risk, re? lieve our trade of all pressure, and pour into the lap of the Cotton States every current of prosperity, and every - sinew of war." -Legislation must be brought to bear to induce or aid this course of business, until the Southern Confederacy is formed; when it-will and must bocome tho regular anil natural system. The whole present machinery for the trade, the credits and the currency of the Southern States, is at a dead cost to the agricultural industry and produce of their people. To reverse the system would not only ever place them in an immediate and certain, and not a contingent, possession of their means, but would make annually to them a clear gain of at least ten mil ._jjons of dollars;aud_j?-diroe t importations and free trade followed, a gain of fifty millions more.?Charleston Evening News. -+, The Chances in New York.?The New York Herald, which has hitherto been battling hard in behalf of the fusion move? ment in that State, now gives up its cause as hopeless. It says: Common justice to all concerned de? mands that this idea that "something may turn up" to redeem New York should be abandoned. New York will vote for Lincoln, and by a larger majority, wc daresay, than any other State. Lincoln will be elected. There is no use in min? cing the matter tiny longer. AYc are call? ed upon to look this thing lull in the face.. The best that our Union forces can now do, is to save all the odds and ends of the election within their reach, such as Con? gressmen, Assemblymen and county offi? cers. Lincoln will be elected, and all par? ties concerned may as well just now shape their course to.that event as to wait till the day after the election. -?fv A man named Mitchell, overseer Tor F.

C., October 22. The trial of the two Hitchings, father and son. came off, as in a former letter I mentioned it would, on Friday, the 19th ins't, but not at Clio, or before the Clio Vigilance-Committee. They were tried at'Benuettsvillc,.and before a committee of seventy persons selected from the seve? ral beat companies in the District. They were acquitted by a vote of eleven." for hanging and fifty-nine against it. In ad? dition to the facts of their having ac? knowledged the purchase of the arms, ?and the arrival of part of them at this place; and the further fact that the older Hitchings had been corresponding with Win. II. Scward and Horace Grceley. two gentlemen from Pckin appeared as witnesses, one of whom. Dr. Hadley. offer? ed to testify that he had heard the elder Hitchings declare his intention to array the North against the South so far as was in his power upon the question of slave? ry. The Committee, however, in view of the fact that the evidence against the ac? cused was solely circumstantial, decided that the death penalty, in this case, should not be inflicted. They determined, nev? ertheless, that two Hitchings should leave the State and appointed a sub-Committee of six. who forthwith performed the duty of conducting them to the North Carolina line; notwithstanding Dr. Hadley's appli? cation to one or more magistrates for a warrant for their arrest, which was not granted. "Where they will go next, and what further attempts they may make to aid in the bloody work of assisting the minions of Lincoln to crush the South in? to obedience to his hellish programme, time alone can disclose. It is to be hoped, however, that the citizens of North Caro? lina will take proper care of them. If they should ever dare to c-ome over this side of the river to recover their arms their hardihood will be repaid by a spee? dy application of the halter. The arms arc still held here as trophies of Black Republican discomfiture. They will, of course, be confiscated and applied tc the service of the State. - Virginia Minute Men.?Go v. Wise re? cently made a speech at a Democratic barbecue, in Princess Anne County. Tin Petersburg Bulletin in noticing it says: By a telegraphic dispatch in another col? umn, it will be seen that Gov. Wise has made another powerful speech, at a bar? becue held in Princess Anne County. The enthusiasm produced by it is said to have been tremendous. A noticeable fea? ture in the day's proceedings was the adoption of resolution introduced by Gov. v\f-y:<> liinisqlf. recommending! neTtTrnTiiTiolij of companies of Minute ^tem This is a good movement and we re? joice that it has received its inauguration at the hands of one so distinguished and influential as Gov.

Had such an organ? ization been iu existence here a few days ago, the city would have been spared the eternal disgrace of receiving a traitor to the institutions of the State, with honors due only to the worth}- and the great. With companies of Minute -Men formed throughout Eastern Virginia, a healthy public sentiment can be maintained, and such pestilent persons as Rotts who go about undermining the patriotism of our people and disseminating sugar-coated ab? olitionism. Avouhl be taught to know their places and be made to keep them too. It has got to come to this, and as well now as later. -4> The People of Ai.auama Preparing.? Unquestionably our people are preparing to take care of themselves, in the event of the success of Black Eebublieanism. The agents of the Free Soil power are getting more chary in the expression of their sen? timents and opinions about thedufy of the South; from all quarters come the notes of resistance. As soon as the election is over, our citizens Mill be pretty well uni? ted?(iod send that day speedily! We glory in the fact that the - Overt 1 Act" men arc gradually disappearing. The blood of the South is becoming hot. The day is not three weeks off. when the "agents" and - pioneers" will have to be very, very cautious. The best men of the South, aye. and of the North too, have declared that the South must not. cannot live under Black Republican rule. If for no other reason, the South would resist the Lincoln administration, on account of the mulatto Hamlin. And the true Southern sentiment is making itself felt. , Every day adds to its strength; Glorious South Carolina will load-the way, and Al? abama, Florida. Georgia, and Mississippi will follow and stand by her side !?Mont? gomery Mail. -4? WnERE ARE the EXTREME ABOLITION?

B. met with signal manifcalntions of approval, white the other performers were not the less appreciated. It is matter of sincere regret that our citizens were not more numerously represented. The ad? mission fee was quite small, and the attendance corresponded most admirably with the price.

" SocTUKitx Men fob Lincoln's Cabinet-:"_ Under this head, the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald gives the following Equant paragraph : The distinguished Southern statesman whom I alluded to as about to accept the Department of State under Lincoln, is understood to be William C. Rives, of Virginia, and rumor adds that John M. Reed, of Philadelphia, and Mr. Pctigru, of South Carolina, will become members of the Cabi The President?Eis Duration of Office, &c. At the time of the formation of the Constitu^ tion, tlie subject of the duration of the ietxproi office of tie Executive was ably discusscd-'fjy the Federal and Republican parties. Thp'American people at that time, mindful of the ^prcssion by the British Crown, were unwilling "to incorporate anything into the Constitution of the United-States that savored of monarchy: hence the t<-'l'm of of? fice of the President was fixed at four years?a term, we think, too short for the, durability j)f our Government. To be at the bend of a great people, though for a limited time, h** M 'he charms of royalty, and vaulting ambi'k'a beholds the spark? ling diadem and the ?">pcrial purple. As our country r as grown in power and wealth, the al? lurements to office increased also. But few can now behold 'he lofty eminence with modera? tion, whi"C mi>ny would be willing to sacrifice their country's /f?0Ci t0 attain it. Our mo.-t violent partisan contests have grown out of Presidential elections. A frequent recurrence of them is to be dreaded. They engender feelings and prejudices ir?ich, like the wrath of Achilles, lay hid?pent up, while meditating a deep revenge. We believe that the isafcty and duration of our Government depends upon the extension of the Presidential term of cflicc. The intensity of excitement would not be greater in Presidential elections at intervals of twelve years than the}' now arc at four years, thereby giving us three times the safety from the evils resulting f.-om excitements consequent upon the election of a Chief .Magistrate. But it may be argued that by increasing the term of office you increase its dignity, and make it more eagerly sought nfier. "While it is true that is a genc cral principle of human nature that a man will be interested in whatever he possesses in propor? tion to the firmness or prccariousncss of the tenure by which he holds it," we arc unable to conceive how a greater struggle for place and power could exist than that which is now going on. Some of the reasons for a re-eligibility of the President may be urged for an extension of his term of office. Says Alexander Hamilton, "With a positive dura? tion of considerable extent, 1 connect the circum? stance of re-eligibility. The first is necessary to give the officer himself the inclination and the res? olution Id act his part well, and the community time and leisure to observe the tendency of his measures, and thence to form an experimental es? timate of their merits. The last is necessary to enable the people, when they sec reason to ap? prove of his conduct, to continue him in station, in order 10 prolong the utility of his talents rtnd virtues, und to secure the Government the advan? tage of permanency in a wise system of adminis? tration. Another ill effect of the exclusion would be a diminution of the inducements to good be? havior. Another ill effect of I he exclusion would be tlie temptation to sordid views, to speculation, ami, in some instances, usurpation. An avaricious man who might happen -to nil the office, looking forward to a time when he must at all events yield up the advantages he enjoyed, would feel a pro? pensity not easy to be resisted by such a man, to make the best of his opportunities while they last? ed, though the same person probably with a differ? ent prospect before him might content himself with the regular emoluments of his office, and might even be uuwilling to risk the consequences of an abuse of Ids opportunities. His avarice might be a guard upon his avarice." These reasons in J? vor ofeligibility are potent ones in favor of a long term of office. By having n long term of of? fice, an jftbrt would be made to elect the most worthy. No one would then say wc will risk him. . if he be corrupt lie cannot do much injury, bc eauscTie will ubl nuic-?^^^, iu offijgg^ u the term was now twelve instead of four yearspwc believe that to-day the South would be a unit. As it now is there arc many who arc willing to en? dure Bl:n:k Republican rule for four years, hoping that beyond a better day will dawn upon the South and her institutions. While upon the subject of the duration of the term of office of the Executive, we deem it appro? priate to speak of the unity of*the Executive, it being one of the ingredients of energy in this de? partment of government* "Decision, activity, se crcsy and dispatch will generally characterize the proceedings of one man, in a much more eminent degree than the proceedings of any greater num? ber; ant! in proportion as the number is increased, these qualities will be diminished." Whenever two or in.irc persona are engaged in a common en? terprise nr pursuit, there is always danger of n dif? ference of opinion; there is peculiar danger of personal enmity or animosity. .Men often oppose n thing merely because they had no agency in planning it, or because I hoy have been planned bv those wh mi they dislike; but if they have been consulted, and happened to disapprove, opposition becomes, in their estimation, an indispensable du? ty of B?lf-lovo. The history of other nations teach us not to be enamored of plurality iu the Executive. The Aclitcans made an experiment of two proctors, and Were induced to abolish One. The Roman history is full of instances of dissen? sions between the consuls. With these views of human mittlre and examples from history, wo can? not favor plurality in the Executive. Cots. Orr and Ashmorc. On Tuesday last, during Ore morning recess of Court, these gentlemen severally addressed the peo? ple of thin District, in the Court House, on the great political questions of the day] Col.- Orr said that he had no hope of the defeat of Lincoln for the Presidency ; that, in the event of his election, the South cortld not, consistently with honor and safety, remain in the Union. He would counsel no hasty action on the part of the State. Sou:.. Carolina should not withdraw alone. He differed from others iu. the opinion that our Legislature should call for i convention of the peo? ple as soon as it was ascertained that Lincoln was elected. He thought it would be wiser and more prudent that Commissioners should be appointed to go to and consult with the other Southern States and ascertain the course they intended to pursue under the circumstances, so that there might be a concert o" action. Col. Ashinore also thought the election of Lincoln almost certain ; in that event, the Southern States had nothing to hope for. Others held the opinion that Lincoln's course would be a conservative, Constitut .on-abiding one ; he differed from them, and, in order to show what might be the policy of such an administration, rend various extracts from the "Life of Lincoln," tracing out his political character for the past twenty years. These ex- j tracts fui trshed conclusive evidence that Lincoln recognized and practised the " higher law " doc? trines of ?be Abolition party. The prime object of the Republican party was nothing less than the entire extinction of the peculiar institution of the Southern States. The South should put herself in? to position for resistance, and when tlie time for resistance comes-, she should resist, even unto death.

Smith Carolinians Abroad. In order to show the spirit and feeling of Caro? linians who have emigrated from the State, we take occasion to publik a few extracts from letters received here. The following is from a resident of Georgia, to a friend in this city : "Do you know I think unless South Carolina will set the ball of Disunion in motion we shall all be obliged to give up our homes, or be slaughter? ed in oufbeds, in the next ten years. I am fully" resolved, on Lincoln's election, to urge dissolution with all the powers of my soul, and if no State goes out, l'shall set my house in order for moving to the Pacific, as I think that the nearest poittt where a man can expect to bring up his children free from civil commotions, revolutions, &c. If the South resists, she will have a glorious fu? ture before her. If South Carolina will only move first, the Southern States will full imo line surely?but if she waits for co-operation, then I fear we are lost. Alabama, Mississippi and Flori? da may go out with her. Georgia I fear, will only follow, and I have no confidence in any, unless South Carolina moves off grandly and alone if need be. If she does, she will be true to her past history, and her future glory?her sons scattered in every State, will return to their loving mother, and joy in the opportunity of defending her rights. God send that she may make herself the Thcra mopyhc of the hour. How much better to die in defence of our rights than be murdered while sleeping, or even die comfortably in our inglorious beds. The idea of submission bows me to the ground, and it requires no courage to resist, bat more than I have to wait quiescently the desola? tion of my home." Another from TalladegaT Alabama, writes: ? "1 was born in Anderson District, and love the very name of South Carolina and her people.? When she needs help to defend her rights, or the rights of the South, I am ready." Another friend writing from Enterprise, Missis? sippi, says: "Von arc aware of the position this State will occupy in the event of Lincoln's election.
