We are gratified at the indications, in arious quarters of the South and South vest, that the subject of direct trade with breign ports is receiving the attention which ts importance deserves. There are a varie y of schemes proposed to effect the subject, tnd we have hope that discussion will elicit ;uch information as will lead to the adop ion of the correct one. Policy and inter st alike demand that some system should >e adopted to secure to the South the legiti nate result of her industry, the accuinula ion of which would give to her a prosperity md power to which she has heretofore been L stranger. We are aware that the Government has ent its aid and influence to divert the com nerce of the South into Northern channels, md that its present policy is in the same lirection. But what reason can there pos. ibly be, that the South should not make ier own importations, even under the unfil lorable circumstances she is placed in by he action of the Federal Governmnt. Our foreign importations are now made )y the circuitous route of Northern cities, vhere. in addition to the exactions of the Federal Government, the most of which is L bounty to Northern manufacturers, they ire taxed w ith the costs of transportation, irofits to importers and dealers. insurance, ommissions, and itmnberless minor ebarges -all paid at the North, and to the North. mid all without justice or necessity, for all re but abstractions from the returns of the >rodu<tive industry of the South. We will illustrate: Let one yard of )roadeloth, costing 4.. Gd., say one dollar, it London, be intercepted on on its way to he South in New York, and almost every -ard of' e!ith intended for the South is so uteepted. The New York importer pays, n dutios to) the Federal Government Und 4hari'ges of importation, 50 per cent., en laneing the value of the cloth to $1 50 per -ard. le sells to a jobber at 10 per cent. rofit, and the yard of cloth stands him in 1 65. The jobber sell to the Southern rierehant, Iay at 20 per cent. profit, and he p'rice is now 8,18 per yard. This last ays for transportation, &c., at least 5 per ent., and the cloth, when it reaches him, tands at Al 97 per yard.

CONDITION OF WALKER's ARMY. -One of Walker's men, who recently deserted and arrived at San Francisco, tells a pitiable story. le says "There were about 100 persons in the hospital when good fortune allowed me to gtaway. The very recollecion of that horrible time is enough to sicken me, how. ever incapable I am of giving a full descrip tion of its horrors. MarGy of the -soldiers are ready to die before enteririg it, and ma ny sick ones report themselves ft for duty rather than go there. -Walker has now. no natives in his army. Many of his..troop have deserted and aone over to the Cham rista party. His officers are-genea drunk. lie himself is hardly ever seen. t; will be necessary for him to do hard fight. ing to get food, and the only way jn whiel# he gets provisions now, if not by fighting; is by taking it trom the natives au$ coin pelling them to take cocoa, of which there is plenty in the colntry. in return. " No person is allowid to gg from place to place without a passport. No pesorr, either citizen or soldier, is allowed leal Granada without one: and if a s eris caught endeavoring to do so, he is tun as a deserter and shot. Such is his)inevitable fate. If a person escapes Walker, he runs great risk of falling into the hands of the Chamorristas, who would also shoot him. "If he have the fever, he is carried to. the hospital at Granada; he is put on a rawj.' hide bed, without a mattress or blankets, . unless he should be so fortunate as to have these articles himself, which seldom happeni It is frequently the case that the sick mak is put on a bed from which some viretc has just been caried off to be 'buried, who has died of yellow fever, cholera. nr some other contagious disease, and whose bed has I aever been ceaned or - ferer cannot' drihn water, becaus'e the doe tors there say that it is "poison to a fever," ind the only drink allowed is orange-leaf tea. Even this is not to be had, on account - Df the negligence of the stewards and ser vants, and the sick man is left to burni md parch with heat and thirst. - I have lain hours after hours and beged to get a tablespoonful of wine from the doctors, and could not get it. They had plenty, and many of them were drunk on it most of of the time." "ILL CALL AHOrND AND PAY."-What a world of woe is contained in fhese few words to the poor artizan and mechanic! "I'll call around and pay," says the rich man, to avoid the trouble of going to his desk to get the necessary funds, and the poor mechanic is obliged to go home to dis. appoint lis worknin and all who depend upon him for their due. It is an easy mat ter to work; the o:ily real glory 'in this life is an independent idea of' being ale to sustain yourself by the labor o~f your owvn hands, and it may be easily in tginecd what c'rushing force there is in "I'l L'all round and pay," to the laboring man, who depends upon that pay for subsistence. If those who could pay wvould only pay at once, it would pl1ace hundreds and thousands in a condition to do likewise, and would prevent much misery and distress. EXcITElstENr IN TENNESSEE.-Exaggerated reports of excitement in Tennessee regard ing anticipated servile insurrections are cir eulating in oilher States. The excitement in' quiestion was limited 'to the Iron Works on Cumbierland rnive'r and their vicinity, and to Summer county'. It baa now almost en tirely sublsided. In Sutmner county the plot was limited to a conspiracy to kill t woor three men. and has been thoroughly expos. ed. 'I he vigila'nce committee turned the leadeirs over to the law, and they will be dealt with by3 the courts. At the iron works there is no doubt that the negroes had talked of an insurrection. The ploit wvas utterly absuredl and impracticable, ex eep~t so fart as it threatened the lives of a few men at its fIrst oultbrealk. It has beein - fully exposed and the leaders summarily punished'. Thek excitement and alarnm ha.' not been a tithe of what it ha~s been repre sented to be3, el ,hee und slayeholders have felt faru more app'rehension for their slav'es than for themselves.. This may ap pear strange to some of our Northern breth ren, but it is certainly so.-Nashville Union. THE CAYENNE GOL.D Dxscov'EIus.-The Salem (Mass.) Register says, that C'apjtain Laisscn, oif the brig George W. Jones, w~ho nriv'ed ant that p~ort a few ,days since from Cayenne, confirms the story in relation to tihe discovery of gold in the vicinity of ..l'at place, lie having himself seen and handled the precioul m'tal. He states that he saw a quantity, weighing auboutt twenty pounds. in places varying from the size of a head of a pin to that of from fifteen to twenty dol lars in valun, which was 'represented to ho more pure than that ob~tained in Californi::. ANeIENTs AND MODERNS.-When the contro versy arose, in the last century, as to the prefer ence to be giten to the ancients or the moderns, . BIoilean said the ancients had been moderns, bat that it was by no means clear the moderns would become ancients. The- advie of Sidonius was excellent ; he said that we sbould read the an cientswith respect, and the moderns witha~itenvy. " HAVE you Goldsmith'g Grece!" asked. a gentleman, on entering a books rae- " No, sir; but they have some excellent Iear's oil in the - nert do'ar," relie'd the o'anntme boa - than a school-inaster, and strong enough to I wash out all the stains from a California politician's conscience, all for four bits! i Why, you have only to put the razor strop and soap under your pillow at night to wake up in the morning clean shaed. Won't anm body give two bits, then, for the lot ! I knew I would sell 'em. " Next, ladies and gentlemen, I ofTer three pairs socks, hose, stockings, or half-hose, just as you're a mind to call them, knit by a machine made on purpose, out of cotton wool. The man that buys these will be enabled to walk till he gets tired; and, pro vided his boots are high enough, need'nt have any corns; the legs are as long as bills against the corporation, and as thiek as the heads of the mcnibers of the Legislature. Who want's 'em at one half dollar? Thank ec, madam, the money. " Next, I olfer you a pair of boots; made especially for San Francisco, heels long enough to raise a man up to the Headley grades, and nails to insure against being carried over by a land slide; legs wide enough to carry two revolvers and a bowie knife, and the uppers of the very best horse leather. A man in these boots can move about as easy as the State Capitol. Who says twenty dollars? All the tax-payers ought to buy a pair to kick the Legislature with; and they will be found of assistance in kickinig the bucket, especially if some bod V Should kick at being kicked. Ten dollars for legt, uppers, and soles ! while souls. and miserable souls at that, are bring ing twenty thousand dollars in Saeraminicto! 2 Ten dollar3! ten dollars! Gone at ten dollars.
