home questions for home digestion. The South has confessedly made no inconsiderable advance in manufacturing and internal improvement during the last ten years ; and it has been the result of the war waged uponher by Northern fanaticism. l>ut this advance ? . . 1 i has not been so great as it ougiit to nave ueen. While we have been warding off the thrust of abolitionism with words and resolves, we have paid tpo little attention to a surer means of sectio >al independence. John Bull told us years ago that the best way to resusitate a drowned Yankee was to search his pockets. Why do we contribute so much to the lining of that capacious .Northern pocket? Here has been our great error. We have only to keep "the dimes" out ol that pocket, if we would bring Northern Jonathan to a "realizing sense" of what is good for himself. Better than all our political action,?ui.less that action brings about immediately one desired result,?would be a vigorous prosecution of the Dianaiaciunug uucrcMd ui uac uvuvu? Oar planters resolve to employ no more Northern vessels in their carrying?and whyare not vessels at once luid upon the stocks for that purpose ? Why are not the commercial community building ships to carry our staple to Europe? We want steam ships to run between the Southern States and Europe. We want railroads and plank-roads to reach away into the extreme parts of the Southern States ?nvpn tn the vollev of the Ohio-to command the trade that legitimately belongs to us. We mast encourage inventive and mechanical talent among us, and give them place above mere slave-labor. Millions of dollars have gone in to that pocket heretofore, because our capitalists have permitted strangers to monopolize traded so important and so valuable. , How are we to accomplish this ? Simply by httiiding ships aud lactones. Every factory of huge class built will furnish a livelihood to at least oue thousand persons, and retain the fruit s of their labor at home. For the simple article of corn-broom, we think the South seuds to the North $50,000 annually. However, we hoj>e aud believe Mr. Steiumyer will iincl it profitable to uiouopolize this trade for the South. More lhan a million of dollars annually goes to the North for negro brogans that might be tnauu factored at dome witn prone. Now, why do not our capitalists'do something besides talk if Why do they not build ships for their export trade if Or, at least, for their home carrying ? Why do they not consider the wealth that grows upon capital invested on the joint stock priuciple I Uutil our people wake up to consider these things we fear Charleston will only "hold her own" from decennary to another.

Our large property holders must not stand aloof with folded arms, therefore, but diversify their wealth in some i manner that will raise the price of their real estate and rents. When commerce and trade are flourishing the artizan can pay high rents, and the mariner dare nobly for the spoils of commerce. Therefore, we hold it botli wise mid patriotic iu the man of wealth to seek every means to extend our commercial relations?to export our products in our own bottoms.? j There is an immense trade coastwise that legiti- [ mately belongs to us, and our commercial peo- j pie should see at once that they have bottoms ready to cany it We believe that real estate, other things be- j ing considered, is less eligible lor investment < in Charleston now than in almost any other commercial city in the Union ; and is certainly behind, in this respect, either New York oral-; most any of the cities very far inland, and des-j titute of all the immense advantages of position given us. It ought to be an object with our people, therefore, to increase the city of Charleston in size and population by adding to its resources. But how shall it be done (?Charleston Sun.

We see but one course to pursue, and we are sustained in recommending it by higher authority, In the Observer of the 23d ult., will be found the outlines of a plan which we thought the South should adopt.

We mention this fact for the purpose of showing that we are at least welt sustained in thinking that the course referred to is an available one, we will quote the remedial portion of the Governor's letter and adopt its sentiment as our own. 'In my judgement the most effectual, if not the only means by which the South can secure and enjoy its rights, is through the agency of a joint consultation of delegates in convention, elected by the people of all the Southern Suites. If such a body of delegates were to assemble under the sanction of a popular vote, and declare the ullimalum of the South, there can he but little doubt that the North would recede. If it would not after having such an effort at adjustment, and claimed nothing hut what honor, equality, and constitutional right entitled us to demand, we should stand justified not only before the tribunal of public opinion, but in a much higher court.' Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Observer. "This cry of'Uniou' is the masked battery from behind which the Constitution and the rights of the South are to be assailed. Let the Soutti mark 'it-man, who is for the Union at every hazard, and to the last extremity. When the day of her peril comes he will be the imitator of that historical character, the base Judean, who for thirty pieces of silver, threw away a pearl richer than all his tribe." (Robert Toombs, February, 1860.) GEORGIA. The political firmament is cloudy. So far as i: we can divine from our exchanges, and the r conversation of our associates, all is now sup posed to depend on the action of the Georgia r Convention. If she submits, all is lost; if she c resists every thing is gained. The victory is as r certain for Southern Rights and Southern Hon- t or, as that the sun will rise again to morrow t ninrninor South flnrnlinii will follow her lead t ^ - -y with alacrity; so will Mississippi; so will Ala- i bama; so will Florida; and we do not despair { ot' North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia; still less of Arkansas. rl'hc fact is thai Georgia holds in her hands at this hour the fate of this discordant Union. If she secedes, and we hope that no other remedy will be contemplated, all the slaveholding States will secede first or last, except perhaps those border States which may elect to conneet themselves with the United States North. So then, it is an issue of the gravest character, and is so treated by the Press and politicians of Goorgia. No half-way measures are advocated, but the plain question of submission or secession. This is right: in affairs of such import it is idle to be skirmishing about the outposts. j The political battle will be fierce: it is so , already, and we recrret to add somewhat dubi- ] ous iii its results, 'l he talent of the Press in i that State is decidedly in favor of secession, j and is now remarkably eloquent in its appeals and cogent in its arguments. We can only in- i stance the Macon f nd Columbus papers. The politicians are pretty nearly balanced, j On the side of submission, the chief ones are i 1st., that valiant and misbegotten dwarf, A. H. Stephens, who commenced his course in me late session of Congress with a grand flourish I of trumpets in favor of southern rights, and all < that, fully equal to Stone & McColIum's Circus, and then sloped. He rose like a meteor i and fell like a stick. 2d. Robert Toombs, who with Stephens are political twins, bound by a chord like the Siamese. We will not clothe in appropriate language, the deep disgust and loathing with which we regard these recreants. We have not the words to do so: but will quote from Moore, the Irish Poet, some lines which suit their cases: Oh for a tongue to curse the slave, Whose treason, like a deadly blight, Comes o'er the councils of the brave, And blasts them in their hour of might! May Life's unblessed cup for him Be drugged with treacheries to the brim, With hopes that but allure to fly, Withioys that vanish whiie he sips, Like Dead sea fruits that tempt the eye; But turn to ashes on the lips ! His country's curse, his children's shame, Outcast of virtue, peace and fame, May he at last with lips of flame, On the parched desert thirsting die. Just Prophet, let the damned one dwell Full in the sight of Paradise, Beholding Heaven and feeling Hell. Allied with these men are Howell Cobb and Marshall Wellborn, both of the late Congress. Some northern compliments, with suggestions in some newspapers of his name for the Vice President have turned the head of Mr. Cobb, *17 II, ___ - II ;,tof .?ir. *> eiiuoni IS U SllliWl pniuiu, mm juot gacity enough to decline a reelection. These wo believe, are the submission chiefs. On the other side?on the side of the South, we find a blighter list Foremost in eloquence and in zeal stands Walter T. Colquitt. It is not necessary to inform the reader who Colquit is. The Senate Chamber and the pulpits of Washington have often rung with his stirring tones. He is among the few public meii iu the Republic whose course has been characterized by patriotism, piety, and political consistency. There is not a purer character iu Georgia, or elsewhere. By his side stands old Gov. Troup, who has once before defied and defeated the 1 Federal Government, and his name is now a I synonym, for firmness and honor. Very old, 1 and oil' the active stage of politics, the importance of the present crisis has roused the old ' - * v-u?l 1 e , veteran and He uikos uie uoiuesi gruuuu iur the strongest measures. The old wheel-horse is a full team. With them are Gov. Towns, 1 Mr. Stiles, Mr. Haralson?in short their name 1 is Legion. The candidacy is already opened ' for mcmbcrsnip in the Convention as wo learn ' from the following extract from the Columbus Sentinel: 1 Tim Convention.?It is possible that we 1 shall have some notable characters in this Mr. 1 Haniilcar Toombs anil Mr. Gravedigger Ste- > phens, are already in the field, and we presume 1 the friends of Mr. Esau Cobb, will attempt to I honor him with a similar candidacy. If (there 1 arc to be any of that ilk in the convention, these are the very men of all others whom we wish to ' see there. They have been the authors of all ' this mischief and it is proper that they should ' thus meet with the chastisement which honest ' ..... I men there administer them. Upon the whole whilst we think the Conven- I tion will eontain a majority of patriots who J will advocate succession, we confess we fear J a different result, and it is quite certain there ] will be no approach to that unanimity so very ' important in this case. < Well, if Georgia takes as she ought, the lead in this great movement of Southernjdeliverance, what will iXort/i Carolina do? We cannot ' tell. If she will look tamely on, regardless of I her mutual interests with other States of the J south, and rank herself in an unnatural alliance ^ with her adversaries against her own political kindred, if she determines to hesitate on points so vital until other energies have delivered her from thraldom, if she determines to remain in the Union until she is kicked out, "Why let her, till the land's despair Cries nut to heaven, nnd Ixmdage grows Too vile for even the vile to bear!" If all the State were as ripo and spirited as this immediate region, she would .now be what Georgia is, the llanner State of the South. She is in fact far more deeply interested in secession.

Thus liese men get the work for nothing, and make i dollar besides; the next day they advertise, is before, "500 girls wanted"?and go through he same operation." And this swindling is jystematically pursued, the Courier says, from iveek to week, throughout the year, by many establishments which transact an immense anount of business with the trading public; and what is still worse, these viilanous frauds are lot dealt with legally, because magistrates are unwilling to offend the wealthy and influential parties against whom the complaint are made, it the instances of the friendless and moneyless females from whom they come^ A fine set of public magistrates, and a nice sense of justice!

There are plants which strike much easier than others, but there are many which are generally looked upon as hard to propagate from, which throw out roots freely, if the cuttings are placed in the ground in October. The great advantage ofOctober planting overSpring is, the exuding sap heals the wound, and the young rootlets start before cold weather; and when the Spring does come they grow with a rush; whereas those cuttings put out in the snrinfT. altlioiifrh thev mav start and grow off finely for a season, are apt to die when the hot summer comes on, from the fact that the roots have not got sufficient hold to stand up under the summer's drought. In planting out a cutting, the limb should be cut with a sharp knife, from ten to fourteen inches long, place the cutting horizontally in the ground, leaving two buds above the ground; press the ground quite solid on the cutting, and as the buds begin to swell in the spring, keep the ground clear of weeds and grass, and mellow and light There are but few of the deciduous trees but what strike freely this way, and most of the evergreens. We have raised apples, pears, plums, peaches, grapes, and most of the ornamental trees this way, and all the Yoses. Many of the choice expensive plants of tho nursery may be propagated this way as easily as the multicaulis. Each bud contains all the elements of the tree, its roots, stem, bark, fruit, flowers and foliage?and why shall not several buds; some above and some below the ground be able to do what one will do when inserted in the bark of a tree or shrub ? Plants grown from cuttings are certain to produce their like. Those of our readers that have a choice plant, and would have more of them, try cuttings in October.?Colnmbus Enquirer. JOHN FLETCHER. John Fletcher is a name with which we associate every saintly quality. He was the angel of the Church. His temper was as felicit ous as it was holy. Religion uinmmatea nis life like a perpetual sunshine. He was a living example of the spiritual doctrines of Methodism. He was its controversial champion. Like the angel at the gate of Paradise he defended it with a flaming sword from the intrusion of error. Ho seems to have been providentially raised up to assist Mr. Wesley in the enunciation and defence of the apostolic doctrines. While the latter traversed the realm, publishing them, the former, with a polemical acumen, seldom equalled, was defending them by his pen. His writings are an impregnable rampart around the theology of our Church, and will endure while the Church endures. His example illustrates as much as his writings the doctrine of genuine religion. Mr. Wesley, says, "I was intimately acquainted with him, I conversed with him, morning, noon, and night without reserve, during a journey of many tiundred miles, and in all that time I never tienrd him speak an improper word, nor saw liiin do an improper action." In all the com<\naa nf Kia ovtongivA acnuaintance. ho declares I""1" "" 1 ( that ho knew not one so devoted to God. The joyous spirit of this sanctified roan grew holier with tho tapse of each day until it burst forth in death with triumphant raptures, and ascond3d like a flame to heaven. Symptoms of Improvement in Ireland.?For the first timo since the commencement of the Famine there are symptoms of a revival of the Irish corn trade with England. The banks in Dublin are now discounting bills of exchange Irawn against consignments of wheat, oats, uid barley, to Liverpool and other English 30rts. This is a most encouraging and imwrtant fact, coupled as it is with a tendency to ldvance in tho grain markets, notwithstanding ill the alarming predictions of an influx from ill parts of Europe and from America as would jomplctely ovorwhelm the Irish farmer in his )wn market. Since the great potato muure in 1840, our own produoe had been so far below )ur wants that importations to an enormous >xtcnt have been constantly in progress; and nstead of exporting a large surplus, the rosour. ;es of the country were exhausted in paying or foreign food. Most fortunately this drain sat an end ?the com trade is resuming its brmcr healthy course?gradually exports are ncreasing, whilst food of all descriptions is ihundant and moderate in price in the local Markets. lion.
