0ml From the Washington Union. "Direct Trade." To THr PLASTERS OF THE SOUTH AND THE FRIENDS OF SOUTHERN CokMRE. My private letters from Europe, which I found waiting me in Washington, indicated that the political affairs of the continent, and the management and diplomaty ofNew York and Liverpool, had made an- impression upon the commercial dispostionin Auiiterdam.in relation to co-operation to assist'the platiters of'the South to resist the New York and Liverpool monopoly of our trade. My ad vices from Messr'. Gadsden & Co., of Charleston, confirm the intimations thrown out,.that the state of trade and politics in -.Europe-will not incline Messrs. Hartsen and Brother to advance the full, or nearly the full value on cotton, Ate. They have written othin? -to' m'e wi the subject, but I infer from, the tenor of their communication to -MessramGadsden & Co. that the. position I have contended for will at last have to be taken by'the planters: that is, to view "direct trade" as a southern enterprise for the bene fit of the planters, and therefore an interest to be promoted by them. Difficulties are to be expected, and must be met and overcome. This is not a ques tion to be decided by one or two or more houses. according to their humor or conven ience, but is a policy deeply connected with the very existence of the Southern States a matter of great and grave importance, to be preserved in, worked at, and advanced as an absolute, necessary and permanent interest. The habit or relying solely upon others has -been one oif the causes of Southern decline. The planters must rely upon themselves; this very case is an evidence of it. There is nothing in the letter of Messrs. Hartzen and Brother that af'ects this principle. I stated to them, as I have often said, that the neces. sities of some of our planters required ad vances to a certain extent, but that their afairs were sufficiently independent to enable them, by eontributions of cotton in a small way, to begin the trade and lay a foundation, establish a confidence and connexion, which would admit of the safe investment of for eign capital. But these are minor considera tions. The great questions are, "Must we have direct trade?" "Will it benefit the South?" "Will it benefit the planters?' These are the questions to be asked. We must not give up the object on account of diffieulties. What credit is it to sell cotton for a hand some price, or where is the enterprise of the South, when other people come to us and buy as suits their interests? The planters must bave enterprise. If we cannot do a great deal, let us do a little. If the revolu tionary tendency of the continent affects the money market, and rivets still more surely the commereial power of England,. and her sympathizer in commerce, New York, upon us, we must decide to act independently of these induences. Each planter can send a small portion of his erop, and if we can ob tairadvance so much the better; but if the diplomacy and commercial power of England cut us off from that assstance, it is the duty of the planters to ship without advances. Tge hereditary system of advances is the greatest4vil of the South. The only argu ment forit is its necessity. It involves the planter by anticipation, and eats up his means by iuterest on the money, antd gives the pow er and control of our great staple into the hands of others. Every dollar advanced is a deposite of Southern wealth in Northern banks. But these are dificulties, and they must be overcomie. Let us commenee in a small way, and keep the ball moving. For the' purposeopf discussion and cons e nm e p an or a more complete combina tion of the planters. In the meanwhile, if my friends have suffi. cient confidence in me, I will receive consign. ments in Amsterdam mnysel f, and devote my whole attention to those interests confided t o me. I am not able to advance, [I wish that I was,] and can only say that I make this proposition from the necessities of the case. " Direct trade" must go ahead; and if the world is allied against tihe planters and south era interests, as involved in her commercial affairs, and a powerftul moneyed combination is arrayed against us to fleece and oppress us, why, we must meet the issue, ,and take an individual interest in otir own affiuirs. The cotton yarn interest confided to me will also be attended to. The appeal is therefore to the planters to aid and assist in the move ment. The friends of direct traide are not six months' recruits; we'are enlisted for the war, and, if wve are overpowered, wve will at least die fighting. I sincerely hope that the spirit and enter. prise of the planters will be aroused by the importance of the issue. We are not en gaged in a schoolboy's game. It is a ques tion involving the comnmercial power of New York and the diplomatic policy of England, which influences will most certainly be array ed against us; and if our cause fails this time, we will relapse into a more abject com mercial servitude. For Heaven's sake, then, let those who are the friends of the measure, and whose affaiirs admit of it, assist in making up cargoes. Let our lumber,ecotton, rice, wool, and cot ton * yarns be combined to " fill the ship," and let a determined spirit of "commercial indepen dence," though taking years for accomplish ment, animate the South. if she will act, she will succeed. She has the staple, wvhich has the qualities of' freight? insurance, ex change, and produce combined, and which cannot be counterfeited. Let us have " direct trade," if not by the usual means, i some way. -C. G. BAYLOR. GAMBLING IN iIE MJxEs.-The Stockton Journal sys: The "professionals" are now, ad have been for some time, doing a flourishing busi ness, not only in the "'mitning towvns," but all over the Southern mines. . Instead of waiting in San Francisco for the miners to bring the gold to them, as formerly, they now go to the mines ; and are as faithful in making their circuit, and visiting certain points..on certain nights, as are the most zealous of the itinerant preachers in per forming their stated tours in East. Mounted on mules, with saddle-bags full of " big dol lars" and a few packs of monte cards, a certain class of gamblers are constantly travelling in the mines, visiting every camp where there is a possibility of getting a bet -keeping a sharp look-out, of course, for rich leads, new diggings, and "soft snaps." Most of them have their regular customers' -hard-wormking men who " buck off" every dollar with the hope, some time or other, of " breaking a bank." Marry of these gam blers are disappointed miners, men who steed well at home, but who, either through Iaziness, inability to work, or ill-luck, have not realized their expectations in mining. Most of them are wild and reckless, but many are close, shrewd, and caleulat'mg men, who, as long as they can make money, have few scruples as to~the means. We must say, withal, that some of them act with principle nd honor in the ordinary transactions of life. The vie of gambling has now become so reat a passion with some men in Californl, WI nd a very large class, -too, that they will iever profit by experiene. ., dol be ye._ be EDGEFPIELD, N.

ABNEY'S SPEECH. h: WE call attention to the excellentapeech of Mir. Cl ABNET (one of our members) which will be found c1 upon our first page. It embodies Mr. A's views hi as expressed by him at diffierent times in the pro. o gress of the debate. We should have presented 0 it to our readers sooner- .bat have been preented a by an unusual pressure upon our columns. It is tI well worthy the attentive perusal of every sub- r scriber. 0 S03ETHING CURIOUIS, k A skilful mechanic, Mr. HoYT,.is now at work i in our village, engaged in the business of moving n houses. It may seem strange to some of our read.

As ' ertain lady said, t when speaking of the introduction of some It stranger into tfie presence of a select party, "it a has been rushed in" (ushered 'in) with all the 0 freezing ceremonies of' the season. Bnt we are .si informed by an old1 addagfe that 'a bad beginning 5 makes a good ending." We trust. therefore,a i her 1852.1 LARD WANTING, "LAtD" has been "lard" ever since the (lays of good Queen Bess, and perhaps muchb longer, ~ We mean the name-the English name--has been ni the saume. And we derive our conclusion from an t expression plucked from the works of the great h3 dramatic wvriter of that day. It was said of FAt.. b sTAFF that he " larded time lean earth." There i was "lard" with a vengeance--btit now alas! V lard is particularly scarce itn ouir buttery-hatches. c Oh ! for a FALSTAFF to walk through these parts o just at this juncture ! Unless the immortal drama- ti tist were gnilty of a monstrouis hyperbole, it would sj be a blessing indeed. For, to be brief, lard is in f demand here just at this time. No onte bonught I hogs, and consequently no one has 'shortening,' b another name for lard. " Bring lard-bring lard 0 to grease the festive board." SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. C Wa are please~d to see that this interesting a weekly has assumed a new garb. It is now pub. S lished in a shape suitalge for bindintg, each num- I her containing from twelve to sixteen 1.ages. The a Ga:efte has heretofore sns:ained the character of A an excellent family pape.r-aind we have no dloubt su of its continued improvement. Its editor exhibits S a tm'st laudable ambition to compete with the first t< rate publications of that stamp. Nor do we think it he falls short of his aim. At any rate our folks at d home are of this opinion, and we have confidence h enough in their taste to subscribe to it. ft We thinik thiepresent dress of the Ga:ette should be adopted by every purely literary paper. oi A QUERY OR TWO,.i WE are a little green in some things, and we i, know it. 'ro acknowledge " verdancy" is gene- tI rally the best way to get arountd it. Therefore to il the point in question withjout further parley. tc It has beetn told to tts that in the wonderful city di of New York-that great American emporium- V there are all kinds of things; and among the rest, si we have heard of certain subterranean alleys sa leading, by private entrances, from house to house, i not unfrequently underneath the principal streets. di Now this sounds to us a little Udolpho-ish. But a' wve have heard it averred as the truth, and by p1 men too whom we have no reason to doubt. What A we wish to know, is whether we have been de- sI ceived by fertile imaginations!? If not, we would pt further ask, what upon ' airth' are those subter- ri ranean passages designed for? Should they be ot connected with the lower "mysteries of New i York," of course we desire no response. If with us the mysteries of upper-ten-dom, we would be glad ta to hear something on the subject from one of the et initiated. Who is there here less green than our- at self! If any, speak-and enlighten our ignorane- at ROSSUTH AGAIN. pc "~ AND what have you to -tell us about him?1" one will say. We answer, little or nothintg. Only or we have been somewhat bothered of late by the fri enquiry which has been often made of us ns to gi the true pronunciation of thte great Hunigarian's at name. We have seen it stated in one pritnt that ar the correct mode was "KosH-voo-r"-and another be says " Kossoo," dropping the " th." Now whtich is "au fail ?" It is certainly not a matter of a very great importance ; and some indlignattt sub- mi scriber might well exclaim in Shakesperian let phrase, "What's he to Hecuba, or Hecuba to n tim ?" Yet, nevertheless, we would like to know nit what to say in reply to the interrogatory "how lo you pronounce his name !,' Will not some erother of thte quill, who really knows, tell us pti ivbt o say.?. ini IENCE DIUST OUR REDEMPTION C0ME ,. HB future condition of the Southern States is 'ered over and - obscured by all manner of att ibts aiid uncertainties. That there 1106 dangers t 'ore us, of the most fearful character, cannot as disbelieved. That these dangers are daily in- it asing in magnitude is equally true. The spirit th Abolition, which commenced breathing its fai itiferous influences upon the Am-idan mind c t a few years ago,.is now being felt .it.-efery !t of our tast Republic. North of MAson's 'I Dzvx's line, it has already become potent - direct and control the ballot-bor, to a lamenta' undue extent.- And South of that line, it has nted its thousands. In looking over its past at tory, the conclusion is forced upon every ob vant man that this wild and disorganizing rit has been rapidly progressivq. Nor is there y thing, at present transpiring, calculated to a, sen the probabilities of its career becoming sli ire and- more sweeping with each ndceeding ar. Every effort to impede its onward course is a tttered and driven off, like chaff before. the hi nd. Even the high functionaries of the Cen- g1 I Government, with all their accumulated pow. , are inefficient.to decrease its terrible momen m. The reasons, we fear, are' too clear to be ubted, going to show that Power and Fanati im are hastening on, hand in hand, to the de. -uction of Southern prosperity by a subversion that Institution upon which it mainly depends. And where are we to look for the redeeming gel, destined to roll back this dark and dashing le? It may be answered, to the honesty, the tice and the generosity of the great American tople. There was a time when .there might ve been something consoling in this ieply. But at time is not now-may never be agin. Our. thers before.us were sustained- in mariy political als by an abiding faith in the American " vor puli." But as often as they trusted, so often ve they been deceived. . Until, gradually, the_ triotic impulses which led thein to instil into the nthful minds of us, their children, a zealous Imiration of the American character, became iilled and blighted. And their last teachings rtook more of the nature of solicitous warnings ;inst a great and a growing evil. Would that were so, that the faith of our fathers still dwelt curely in the bosoms of the present generation 'Southerners! But it cannot I.e. A change is passed over the Republic an' 'er Republi Ls; and every one, who will obstinately oss his eyes, must perceive it. Our Government is been basely perverted to unholy and uncon itutional purposes. . The simplicity and frugality 'former days'have been replaced by complexity id extravagance, among our people as well as-in e departments of State. The old Saxon and orman blood, which planted the tree of Liberty i this side the Atlantic, has been strangely ixed and comipted by an influx of men of all ndreds and tongues. And this last evil has but st fairly commenced. The American people are >t now what they were twenty years ago. wenty years hence, and no man miy be able to -lineate with any accuracy the thousand phases American society. True, the National amal im may cement the various heterogeneous com >undhs into one solid mass. So much the worse r Southern welfare. For every ship-load of nigrants landed upon our shores is but an in rease of those feelings and principles, which tend raie the Central Power upon the downfall of cal interests .and State Rights. Because, the Ivocates of Consolidation and the propagandists Abolition having already the numerical rength, those who come from other lands and re imbned with similar views, wdll assuredly tend with the majority. And such are all, or .merican People is no longer worthty to he trusted. 1America, the "7or populi" is nowr far-very tr from being the " eor bei." 'It ismuach nearer se voice of Anarchy and misrule.

But, e it remembered, the lessons of our holy Religion astruct us that man is the instrument of his own -ell-being, whife it is God who giveth the in rease-that it is by the active and antiring use rmeans, with the blessing of Heaven, we are secure either temporal or eternat good. If we umber and sleep, it j< in rain we look to the ighteous iRuler above us f'or that which we need. now., as a people, wie lie supinely upon our ecks while a political Avalanche threatens to verwhelm us in rnin, we wvill offend a just Pro idence by an empty faith wvhichi shows itself by y out ward works. There is a faith in the just overnment of Heaven, whic~h lhas and will ain redonnd to the benefit of nations. It is aI ith, similar to that which animated PaATICK ENaY, wvhen he exclaimed, " To trust to eas ~d to the God of Hosts is all that is left us !" nd here is indicated the only instrumentality.< e verily believe, which will disenthrall our uthtern homes from the doom which now seems I await them. Let us dare to do what was done 1 1776-and the same Providence wvhich con acted that struggle to a successftul issue, will ad uts out of this wilderness of despair into a ir and happy condition once again.

It is a consciousness ofr is very apathy which has led our thonghts to I is topic. As an humble sentinel upon the watch wer of Southern itnterests, we feel it to be our i ty to keep otur perilous position ever before us. 'hat though a particular mode of Southern re tance huas been set aside as inefficient ! Is our r ork therefore at an end!i Is the Southern spirit a ereforo fled? We would not yet indulge the t ead supposition. And yet, withoutt a powerful d vakening, the South is gone and her "lovely t ains" despoiled of all their wealth and beauty. t mong others, we have had serious fears that the ep of death had well nigh taken hold of our ople. But no ! the end of our struggle for eqiual ;hts is surely not yet arrived. Let us not suffer rselves to become callous to our country's fate, wever disheartening the chances may be. Let endeavor to keep the flame of Southern resis ace burning high and bright. The enemies of t r peace and well-being are even now madly ding fuel to that flame ; and, if we stand firmlya our posts, it may yet become a "consuming e," to the destruction of all their hellish par. sea. Brethren of the Press ! let us arouse ourselves ce more to the strife.

FrnE.--We regret to learn that the saw mill of Mir. Stceheni Smnith was co;sumed by fire on S$iiurday evening last.
