For the Advertiser. REVIVAL OP THE SLAVE TRADE-NO. XV. " The war must be carried into Africa." Much capital has been accumulated by Yankee merchants in Southern Citi'es but most of such capital has been removed to the North to start, or enlarge manutactures there. The explanation is obvious. Those Yankee merchants at'ibe South have generally been either partners of Northern houses or merely Agents for Northern capitalists. For the last 40 years the Yankees have regarded the South as a dependent province of the North as a rich section filled with barbarous and idle drones, among whom it was easy to make a fortune, but not at all desirable to live as a retired million aire either to enjoy wealth (as Southerners have justly been prejudiced against Yankees since abo litionism and protective Tariffism were inaugura ted).or to gain the greatest profit upon capital. Moreover manufactures are sociable, and all kinds of handicraft flourish best together, or at least in close proximity, and as the chief occupation of the North has bean shipping, or manufacturing, a bet ter field has offered itself there for the retired mer chant (utiacquainted with cotton culture) to find a partner, or artisans skilled in the mysteries of machinery and manufacturing science. A few native merchants have accumulated f.r. tunis at the South, in the retail, or commiesion trade, and have then erected succoisful factories, but the porovincial clog of the South has been that it cunsumed all her capital to get cotton laborers. laving no surplus capital, she could not employ European artizans who have been e.rcludcd from her limits, since 1808 on that account and emi grants without trades have also been c.reluded, be cause they could not find employment here except when negro labor has risen above the value of white labor and then our own poor white populs tion have been on the ground to reduce negro labor to a level with their own, which has generally ex cluded all competition from abroad. Still as pepu 1Ltion will press Southward, there has alwayb ieeVn an excess of idle white labor here, since the s'ave trade was closed from the fact that there has been no surplus capital at the South either to start fac. torles aud build ships or even to develope a direr s.fied agricultural industry, so as to give employ leeut to second olass overseers, or to the auxillar3 Wechauical pursuits. ileuce not only have European artizin, and ceu - mou laburers ra le I to obtain emjploysmeut heie, but a multitude of our own poor white laborers have heretofore and do now lack " pportutnity" for profitable business. Therefore graunting that we have drafted no negroes from the present free States during the great rises in the price of cot. ton, it is still sound logic that the e.clusion of cmi. grent artisans and common laborers from the South lis depressed manufactures and ship-building here-bas stimulated them at the North-hos transfered all the increase of population by ior sign emigration to the same monopolizing region and produced both. the abolitionism of the free States and the emancipation tendency of the pres. ent border slave State,. By excluding European emigration and forcing it to settle at the North, we cheapened skilled white l.Lbor there and com pelled tt in self-defence to engage in manufactures nd shipping. That cheap white labor when once settled at the North, necessarily precipitated eman ripation-because the white man will no where work pearefully in competition with the slave and Northern masters fountd an inducement to emanc: pate their negroes by having cheaper as well a. more skilled white labor ready at hand for manu lactitring and ship-building. But it is a historical fact that we also furnishetl the ipital forfiret employing that skil!cl whi.e labor at the North by purchasing their negroes at monopoly prices when cotton was high. A supei ie.al reader of Legislation at the North in respeo to emnancipation may contradict me, but before do ing so let him study that Legislation carefully and .sean extraucous hiatory also. Our own and ti~e French Itevolution which were both sereile wnm a ior the political emancipation of white slaves did o~nce beget in all this country, except in South .Carolina and Georgia a universal sentiment that all men are born free and equal which was favoran b'o to negro emancipation and accordingly all the present free States that belonged to the " old thir teen" passed laws, at an early day, for the gradual abolishment of slavery. But most of them postponed iteso long that prac t'e.dlly it was no emancipation at all and it is a laughable commentary upon the sincerity of abo litioniism that several of the Northern States after having fixed the time and conditions of final emancipation within their limits extended that time and enlarged those conditions by many sub sequent enactments. If I am not mistaken ,there are uptuliber slaves in No Jersey even now, .l J..-a' 4ythe actbf-1 svry was to be for ever at an end there after 1820. New York did not ultimately abolish slavery until 1827-that ii not until she had sold slaves to the South at mo nopoly prices'diring two great rises in cotton to wit 1815-20 and in 1825. Pending those great rises in cotton and resulting high price of slaves many thousand statuliber negroes as well as slaves were sold by the North to Southern planters. By getting all our capital fur her negroes-by getting all European emigration on account of our exclu ding it, because we had no "means" to employ it --no cheap negroes to tempt it Southward, the North has not only monopolized mdnufactures and shipping-has not only got untold wealth, since labor -ia the only wealth but she has also got rote, to impose the Tariff to control the Revenue--to inflict the navigation laws upon us excluding for. oign vessels from competing with hers in our coast ing trade, as well as to give away the public land -ppropriate all the New Territories-abolish elavery in her own midst, which would not otL~er wise have been done, in at least some of those States and also to drive negroes from numerous pursuits at the South-ah !to beget a d arnmant feeling of abolitionism in nearly every Southern State. If the slave trade had been left open Northern population would have moved South ward so rapidly and European emigration would have resorted here so largely that the North would have been compelled e.e-Naecestate to retain slave ry in order to get a supply of labor; probably most of the Northern States would then have ohanged as much for slavery as they have since 'changed against it. The question now is and the question has ever been since 1808, not whether slavery would pay in any particular section of the United States, but where would it pay best. The high price of ne groes during a great rise in the price of c attun will not permit the realizing of a good per cent upon their purchase money except when their labor is employed upon the very cheapest and moat fer tile land, as wall as in the fnest climate of the entire South. But because a slave costing $2,001' can make 20 per centt on his prime cost each yeat by working tne choicest land in the 31issiisippi Valley, it is not a fair deduction that his labo, would be unprofitable in South Carolina, or in Virginia, or in Illanois, provided that labor could be commanded in these States, at a reasonable price. If Centtal Amerie'a were annexed to the United States, without re-opening the slave trade, Louisiana herself would become depopulated ot slaves, by reason of the richer soil, better climate and spontaneous productions of that Paradise om king slave labor, so much more profitable there, than in Louisiana. But if the slave trade were open, although Central America and Mexico too, might be annexed, slavery would still be preserved in Louisiana. Nothing but local attachment to the country or affection for their negroes or devo tion to the institution of slavery or a preference of dear negro labor to cheap white labor, will pre vent slavery from being abolished in South Care lina within the next half century if the value ol negro labor shall continue equal to, or higher than white labor. Every time the North and South have struggled for the mastery in a Territory since 180S negro labor has been higher than white labor on account of high priced cotton and hence the cause of the South's defeat. During that period ever memorable to the South 1815--20 five States were admitted into the Union. Totvit Indiana, Mississippi Illano's, Alabama and Maine. They were admitted in the order here named, from which it may be seen, that they came in first a free State, then a slave State. Missouri another slave State also applied fur admission in 1819. But the North under the lead of Massachu etaand New York opposed it most strenuously and succesufully upon the ground that two slave States should not be admitted before another free State. They said to Missouri in emphatic terms "you must exclude slavery, or wo will exclude you." In 1820 however Maine came in andi then the North consented to admit Missouri if the South would consent to exclude slavery from all the un organised Territory North of the Southern boun dary of Missouri. The South ignominiously as sented to it. Let it therefore be marked down as an epitaph upou the suppressed slave trade, that it was in the same year 1820, that cotton fell in price, after its first rise subsequent to the closing ef the slave trade that~ the South first heard not only of a sectional protctiwe Tarif but of a sec gj.aael Abolitiona Party. During the same 5. years above named, the -slaves of the North and or the non-cotton growing States, were rnshed into the cotton regions in such nmbers, that barely enough slaves, were carried into Missouri to makeit a slave State. So,nec slaves however had been taken into the Territories of r Indiana and Illanois, notwithstanding the inhibi tion of the celebrated Ordinance of 1787 which excluded slavery from all the Territory lying be tween the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Probably, yea postively I may say but for the high price of cotton between 1815-20 although the slave trade was then closed; both Indiana and Illinois would have been admitted. as .shave States. Prom the ' operation of econoii Jaws-from the exceeding 'brtility of the soil, as well as from the adaptedness of the climate to slave labor, slavery had not only taken rout in Indiana and .Illinois, but if the slave 'trade had not then and since been closed, it would have also established itslf In Ohio. The feeling *In Twdila was very stsang ln'favar ofuslavery, ...IaT...... 10 n9 e nd11.4 sad i t a .9, $1,000 and $1200 to grow cotton at the South, so Indiana by a small majority excluded slavery. In Illitois the popular sentiment, in behalf of .lavery wits still -tronger thou it hd previously been in Indiana, but negroes were still too high in 181t4-toio many of thetu had beets and were yet being carried to the cotton fields sad Illinois excluded slaxvery in the A,.erubiy of her Repre sientatives by A losjurity q:I* only one vote. In the case of Missouri (na it, that f California and Kansas) the South protested and protested, against her ill treatment at the hands of the North but Is it not worth repeating that no amount of Speeches, or Resolutioni, t.r Political Letters, or windy Editorials, or Metaphyiical Exhaslations, about the abstract rights of lave holders in the Territories, could propagate negroes in 1820 any more than in 1S50, when California was admitted a into the Union and negroes selling at $1400 and $1500 each, or in 1S55-6-7-8-9 when Kansas has been knocking at the door of Congress fr adomi sion while nehroes are rating at $1,40 and $2,100 in the valley of the Missis.-ippi. Nor will words furnish negroes to plant slavery in either New Mexico, or Arasona, or any where else. Texa" is actually afraid to divide her huge Territory, leat abolition may appropriate it and there is hardly a doubt, but that it would do so, if such division were made. Who will risk a purse full -of gold eagles where it may be stolen ? Yut Southern Mets physicians contend for the abstract right ot placing a negro worth 150.eagles where an envious abolI tionist may steal him as if a slave holder could be such a fool or an atbolirionitst such a saint us to do the one or not do the other. Capital is timid and so it will not venture where there is dangor of almost certaiu 6u61. Self-initer est is stroug-tho pridu of clas and or race is AWtil stronger and so the poor white moan of the tree States atriviig to move 8..uthward tu a nore fruit ful roil and nore genial climate, will not brook t the presence of a negro slave whose labor is worth more than his--is etuployed in preference to his, thereby cutting him out of wages or forcing him to labor side by side with the negro. Envy and jealousy are likewise controlling passions. which regulate the actions of men in thousands of in stances and an agrarian or leveling principle in tensified by the monoply price of negroes on ac count of the slave trade being closed and cotton being high has done most of the work toward ex. 4lu.ling the South from Indiana, Illinois, Culifor iat. Kansas and tother States, or Territories. The only preictical way to break up the cordon of free States which eurroundsl the South and to I brottle abolition is to revive the slave trade-iake it to the -interest of the abolitionist to becomie a arogslavery man. Only tender a free-soiler the neuns of getting subsistatoce and luxuries with the labor of a chcaj negro and he can understand you as susceititily as usanty other onte free-negro ioving Yankt-es who have tuarried a slave holding wife at the South.

At 6 o'clock Thurday morning, tho5th instant, 'our of us met at the Pine llouse en route for ArSxaxrr's well-kown Mill Pond. We were B., ., S. and W., with promise of reinforcements from he rear,-which reinforcements by the way never amue up. With hopeful thoughts and cool nod les, we trotted merrily on down through the ?iuey Woods beguiling the way with song and horus, and the tinkling of the light guitar, until, at 8 o'clock precisely (as near as B. " could guess within an inch of his life") we drew up and halted iefore the old Mill Pond House. To unharness he horses, depotit our goods and eatables in the siazza, "1 dake a trink" of cool water or schnappe tecording to taste, arrange our fishing tackle, ight cigars, and sing out "all ready," was the work of the short half-hour immediately subse juent upon our arrival,-and which conclude@ this hupter.

This circumstance was a subject of conversation with our small and elect fishing partpon the present occasion, and it was ununimouly, Resolved let, That our warmest thanks are due ad are hereby tendered to the estimable old OLo0L for his lordly forbearance towards his nterloping fellow-citizens of Edgefield, who have o frequently and so largely encroached upon his tater privileges.

Upon further motion by W., it was "resolved hat this expression of sentiment be published in he Edgefteld Advertiser along with anything else he editor- may choose'to say of this trip."

Directly comes the cook and his atten lants ;-" Dinner ready, sur, want to set de table." All in good time. Up jumps the party, at that welcome sound. One more "glaret bunch," and at it we go.

That Game of Chess. It will be seen, by the following extract from the Newberry Coauseratief, that the Horse Mail game is actually in progress: To EDUrIELD.-Before we " promulgate" our irst move in the impending onslaught, we have to suggest some regulations which, we have .no doubt, you will instantly ratify. We agree, how. ever with much reluctance, to yo'ur interdiction of the lutroduction of Dutch in the construction of our gamie; Dutch being inch that itgives much succinctness to expresion, especially 'in the pro mulgation of Chess-moves. Have then thy wish, But at the samne tinie we must insist, as we are contending with our contemporaries, that assistance is not to be called.from those ancient knights of of the parlor " most famed of famous ancestors." 1st. There must be no taking back of moves: not so much because it would be a violation of one of the cardinal laws of Chess, as on account of the immense loss of time which must result from such imbecility. 2nd. In addition to the horse porver agreed upon, for intercommunication, we propose that any other opportunity, which presents itself, shall be em braced, for the transmission of moves. Thus: during your Court weeks, we will send you over a "s ly thurst" or so, by some member of our har. Your opportunities will be more abundant than ours, and we expect to receive many a check I brought by Chanticleer or dame Partlet, as Knights of the olden times were wont to tie their messages about the neck of Dove or Carrier-Pigeon. 3rd. The party failing to move at least once a week by the Iorse-Mail-elther by Jetter or through their respective Newspapers, shall be con silered vanquished. We will not object to the Advertiser, because its title is printed in Dutch letters. 4th. From recent manifestations we think Edge field is justly entitled to the Black#, so we take the Whites. If you agree to the above propositions, our first move is K's. P. 2. Upon the reception of this, our Chess champions immediately met and agreed to each and all of Newberry's propositions. The game now stands: Newberry. Edgefield. ( Whites.) (Black.) 1. K's. P. 2 K's. P. 2. 2. K. B. to Q. B. 4 K. B. to Q. B. . Some of our brethren of the Press are laughing at the idea of such a game. Good. Laugh on. We intend to finish it by Christmag at all hazards. Watch, and be edified. These long.games are the most exciting of all Chess matches. You have heard of " lengthened sweetness long drawn out." Well, this is something of that nature, though dif fering in kind. Ours will prove a fleet enough gamo compared with some that have occurred. Read the two instances we append: " A story is told of the young officers in the army, residing at W~ashinagtona, who were playing. a game by correspondaaenace, when one of them was ordtered tu Now Orleans, and, although every pus jible despatch was used to forward the muvus, the game was not cuoncluded until both the players were aged men. 'Two paersonas of distinction, the one at Madrid, the other at Rtome, played a game of Chess at that distance. They began when they were quite young, and though they lived to a very old age, the game was far from being finished when one of them died. He appointed his executor to continue the game, and when the other player died his ex ecutor also did the same, lint the game was not even concludedu during the lives of the executer., and was abandoned at their deaths." Old Pottersville andi Dr. Landru. A clever writer in the Sourh Carolinian courses of old Potteraiville and Dr. LAXDnUX in pleasant terms. See his effusion copied on another piage. We cheerfully allow the old ville all the ancient glory claimed for it. Although not quite aged enough to go back distinctly to those stirring days when she was thei C..icinnartti of Edgefield, we can yet vividly recall the time when she was the Juggery of South Carolina. The first sight of that furnace near thirty years ago,-ean we ever forget it ? Have we ever been able to think of any ether kind of furnace when reading of Shad rack, JMeachuck and Abednaego 7 Do we not still mind how the boys and girls used to think it a fine Saturday frolic to walk to old Potteraiville and survey its manufacturing peculiaristics ? to watch old DavE a.4 thu clay assumed beneath his magic touch the dosired shape of jug, or jar, or crock, or pitcher, as the case might he?-No, we are not unmindful of the old times of old Agefield; And we would not have old Pottersville omitted when our hiistaory comes to be written out, nor Dr. LAxwtrx. nor the Hire, nor anything good or clever that ever adorned that once prominent locality. But read the piece we copy from the Cauroliiun. "Ihard Shell Whiskey." An article from the Columbus IJorner Stone, under this bead, will attract attention.

Of course, the ,chiskey part or (V.xxxnaL livint'yi:'s article is all fudge. Read what be says any how,-it can't hurt you. Liberal, Though Politic. All praise to the town council of Columbia for the appiropriatlon of $;i,000 just mads fur the bene fit of the tate Agricultural Girounds at Columbia. The money will be applied to the construction of an Ampahitheatre, for the exhibition of stock and for the awading of premiums. It will be bsilt to accommodate two thousand persons at least, and the seats therein will be sheltered from rain. This is liberal and praise-worthy. The Carolinirm cor rectly Intimates that Columbia is promoting her own best interests by thus aiding the.State Society. Still, her donation is a generous one. We have no doubt it is but the precursor of mnany similar. instances of liberality. The Chess Question. The Southern Bapti.: has a etiriotus article upon the game of chess, which we publish elsewhere. Is it wrong, or not, for Christians to indulge in that game ? seems to be the burden of the Bap tist'. roeetions. Our religious cotemporary, as it appears to us, would like to draw out discussion upon the subject, regarding it as a point not yet settled ; and we accordingly extend his remarks. There are religiionists amongst us who use this game as not abusing it; and,-thus used, it is difll. cult to see wherein its evil consists. .We should like to hear from some one better able than we to solve the Baptisr's doubts. .APropos, here is a p~aragraph from the Dnte West Telescope on this subject. it is, we presume, the voice of Presbyterianism in relatio'n to thia matt ter ; but, like the Southern Baptist'. reflections, it is hard to tell whether tho Td:ew-ape's inuendos amonat to condemnation or ntot. Thus spake that oracle, ex tripode, on the 6th instant: CHriaa.-"Chess is all the rage at, this p'resent timde. The papers are full of the exploits of our man M'.rphy, who it seems has takena the shine off all Europe at this game. His suaccen has excited the ardor of the smnall fry, andl new we have games of ehess playedl by Telegyraphs between New York and Philadelphia. Augusta andl Charli'ston. and there is a banter between the towns of Newherry and E~dgefieldl to play a game by Hoarne mail! A good burlesque ! This chess furor reminds one of School-boys. To-day townt-ball is the exciting amusement, to-morrow It is flying the kite, hut the seal for that soon sbates. So It is with the larger boys of our world. To-day crowds rush to the prise fight in New York. To-ulorrow the ex ulting crowd shouts over the laylig of a cable across the oceasn; the third day itis Chess!

EDiuT :-Possibly a few passing remarks ,on the Gold Mines of Sleepy Creek, culled from my Aeld notes, may interest some of your readers. The diferent mines of this vicinity are so simi lar and so closely connected as to locality, that it will be most convenient to describe them under the head of the Sleepy Creek Mines, than to sepa rate them according to the various proprietors. The chief mining operations have been carried on at the Gold Spring Mine, and latterly also at the immediately adjoining mine of Col. Jonx QuATnLaux. Here consequently more may be learned of the peculiar occurrence than would be observed at other points. At first the distribution of the veins is exceed ingly perplexing; for they are seen striking and dipping in every possible direction, sometimes per. fectly horizontal, then curving like a saddle, then a'gain vertical-here swelling to a diameter of sev eral feet, there again thinning out to a mere thread -unow cutting straight aeross the slats country rock, or now again conforming to the strike or di rection of the latter. An examination of the large workable veins alone, leaves us therefore without any satisfactory conclusions as to the true mode of occurrence, and we must turn to the minor veins for an exrplanation. These are the models. We may inspect them without fear of the obscuring ,ects of greater bulk, and the solution is then an ay one. The country rock (the rock traversed) of these veins is an argillaceous slate-sometimes so little altered as still to merit the term of a true sale. This rock Is exceedIngly tissile. Crevices have consequently formed in all directions, curving and ramifying through the slate in every conceivable manner. Some of these fsasures, more immediate ly-dependant upon the same powerful forces, to which the Alleghanies and all their parallel ridges owe their origin, were extended downwards to a sufficient depth to become channels for these solu tions which contained the materials now tilling the space of the crevices. The lateral cleft, conducted oWlf ortions of these solutions ; so that, in reality, notwithstanding the apparently anomalous charac tr of these veins, their origin is the saume as that of all persistent veins. The solutions referred to birought up silica and copper. The gold is probably due to the country rock. These mines show in a very clear manner that the latter metal cannot be infused by the ehioritic soap-stone dykes, which so abound ; for while the selvagesof these or rather the slate along their selvages may be profitably worlied for gold, the mass itself contains not a trace. But this is a discussion not likely to interest many of your readers. The majority of veins visible at the surface have a north-westerly strike, but those of a north-east arny or east and west strike are more likely to Ibe permanent in depth although it is quite povsible that the mnst impo'rtant andI reliable of the latter are cuvreed up and do n,,t show at the surface. With a view to determining this important question, Col.-QUATTLERUX is now driving a tunnel into the base of the hill. Should the present one not be favored with satisfactory results, another, driven at right angledto it, would scarcely fail to be cue elusive. These teins will undloubtedly at some future pe rind beenme more remunerative for copper than for god ; but in the meantime-a perid by no means confned-they will be able to furnIsh a valuable supply of the latter metpl. This is indeed liberal ly diffused through the veln-stone, and some of the more choIce samples yielded panning. equal to the very best which I have as yet seen in our State. The vein-stone of some of the veins ave-r ages about $1,00 per bushel, of .othere 80,75. Others again yield a less average, but still may furnish much valuable ore. The gold is exceeding ly fine. Indeed, there is but one mine, with which I am acquainted, which has a purer geld (the Brewer mine in Chesterfield) and that only exceeds this by 41.100th. of a cent the pennyweight. Two assays made at the Dalunega nmne, gave a fineus of 980 and 988, or a 'rains of $100 x 99-100 eta.. and $1,01 x 59-100 eta per pennyweight respective Ragular work has barely been commenced as yet, but judging from that which we now see, It is a sober and reasonable expectation to anticipate the happiest results.
