(*4 ii. SliormuiiN Address.
After landing and taking possession of the
forts at Hilton Head, (Jen. Sherman issued the
following address:
TO THE PEOPLE OF SOITII CAKOLIN'A.
In obedience to the orders of the President
of "these l/nited States of America," I have
landed on your shores with a small force of
national troops.
The dictates of a duty which under these
circumstances, I owe to a great sovereign
State, and to a proud and hospitable people
among whom I have spent some of the pleas
an test days of my life, prompt 1110 to proclaim
that we have come amongst you with no feelings
of personal animosity?no desire to harm
your citizens, destroy your property, or interfere
wirh any of your lawful rights or your
social and local institutions, beyond what the
causes herein briefly alluded to may render
unavoidable.
Citizens of South Carolina, the civilized
world stands appalled At the course you arc
pursuing, appalled at the crime you are committing
against your own mother ?the best,
| the most enlightened, and heretofore the most
i prosperous of e.-'i'us. You are in a state of
ectivc rehellnn 'ast the laws of your country.
You have lawlessly seized upon the forts,
arsenals, and other property belonging to our
common country, and within your borders,
; With this property you arc in arms, and waging
a ruthless war against your constitutional
i (lovcrnmcnt, and thus threatening the exist|
ence of a Government which you are bound
| by the terms of a solemn compact to live 1111
| dcr and faithfully support. In doimr this von
: \ ^ I
arc not only undermining and |?ri*|?s\riii<x tin'
way for totally ignoring your own political and
social existence, but you are threatening the
civilized world with the odious sentiment that
self government is impossible with civilized
man.
Fellow cit:zousf T implore you to pause and
relied upon the tenor and consequences of
your acts, it the awful sacrifices made by dedevastation
of our property, the shedding of
fraternal blood in battle, the mourning and
wailing of widows and orphans throughout
our land, are insullicient to deter you from
further pursuing this undoly war, then ponder,
I beseech von. upon the ultimate but not !< ?*
certain, result, which its further progress 111 u^t
necessarily and naturally entail upon your
once happy and prosperous State. Indeed,
can you pursue this fratricidal war, and continue
to imbrue your hands in the loyal blood of
your countrymen, your friends, your kinsmen,
for no other object than to disrupt the ('onfederacy
ot a great people?a Confederacy es!
tablished by your own hands?in order to set
up, were it possible, an independent (Jovornnient,
under which you can never live in
. .x.. )
JJCilCC, VI IJUIUUH'&S .
Carolinians! we have come among you as
loyal men, fully impressed with our constitutional
obligations to the citizens of your State.
Those obligations shall be performed as far as
in our power. Uut be not deceived. The obligation
of suppressing armed combinations
against the constitutional authorities is paramount
to all other. If, in the performance of
this duty, other minor but important obligations
should be in any way neglected, it must
be attributed to the necessities of the case,
because rights dependent on the laws of the
State must be necessarily subordinate to mili- i
tary exigencies created by insurrection and rebellion.

Salt.?Messrs. Koopman 6c Phelps, merchants
of this town, inform us that they have
determined to sell all they have at 82 per bush- j
el, but they will not let any one have more
than one bushel at a time. In this way they
desire to accommodate as many as possible, as i
long as their stock lasts. This is showing tJlc
light spirit.? Charlotte (iV. C.) Democrat.
TIic ISiiruing or Cotton.
The planters upon the Southern coast, at all
those points which arc exposed to the depredations
ot' the Yankee invaders, are busily employed
in removing their ncgros to the interior
and in burning their cotton. The comparatively.
small quantity of the staple which
has fallen into the enemy's hands could have
been destroyed by the proprietors but for the
confidence thev felt in the ahilitv of tlin slinrht
- J J - O
fortifications in their neighborhood to resist
attack. The success of the Yankees in their
attack upon Port Royal has had a ditferent
elfoct from what they anticipated. Instead of
opening a port for Southern cotton, it lias rendered
it impossible that another bale of Southern
cotton shall ever fall into their hands.
Already the work of destruction has commenced.
With a self-sacrificing patriotism
nobler than the courage of the battle, the
planters are applying the torch to the rich
product of their soil at every place where it is
in danger of a visit from the enemy. The
midnight sky on the seaeoast of Carolina is
lighted up with the Haines of the coveted treasure,
and systematic arrangements have been

maue 10 convert, 11 into asnes universally, uefbrc
it shall lall into the invaders hands. All
the Fire Zouaves of New York cannot extinguish
this great conflagration. The signal of
their approach will he the signal for the torch
to he applied, and if' the strong man must fall,
he will pull down the pillars of the temple upon
his persecutors and bury himself and them
in a common ruin.
The Yankees do not understand the spirit
of the Southern people. They might as well
attempt to subjugate the winds as to conquer
such a people. They have determined to sacrifice
every worldly possession on the alter of
independence and liberty. They will never
permit Yankee (ienerals to wring from them
either their rights, or, that which the Yankees
arc alone fighting for, their commerce. Tlicy
are not themselves dependent upon cotton,
valuable as it is to them, and essential to the
rest of the world. They can give up the cultivation
of cotton altogether, and still live in
comfort ami plenty. Their wonderful soil produces
in boundless abundance every variety of
agricultural production. They can raise more
than enough of wheat, corn, rye, oats, hay, to
supply their own population. They will, in all
probability, devote their soil exclusively the
next year to the cultivation of the cereals, and
whether the present crop shall be available for
the use of the world, depends entirely upon
their own sovereign will and pleasure. The
cotton is ready for the torch, and the torch is
ready for the cotton, 'ilhc Yankees have proved
themselves successful inventors of agriculi
1 l.i 1 il l it
lurai macnmes, uui wnen incy employ tuc
sword to raise Southern staples, they make a
blunder which will destroy their commerce,
ruin their cities, and convert the subjugation
of the South, even if it could he accomplished,
into their own financial and political ruin.?

The Cincinnati lloo Trade.?The Cincinnati
Price Current, of Wednesday, says :
The weather has been good for pork packing,
but prices do not come up to the views of
feeders, and the receipts have been light. We
understand the prices now current in New
York are equal to $:} 50 net here, and hence
drovers are shipping to that market, rather
than sell here. Dressed hogs were selling in
New York all the week at 5 cents per lb., but
closed dull : but that market will soon be
overstocked and prices decline, and hence all
tilings will tind their level.
