We send out this week some more slips; unpleasant as it would be, we will be compelled to adopt some more rigid course, if our call is unheeded. Wo have been compelled to borrow money to pay those in our employ. We are hard up, in earnest, and wo earnestly request those indebted to us, to come forward i n 1 settle. Our friend, Mr. T. R. Magill, has very kindly brought us several late Nor?hern papers for which he will accept our grateful thanks. Mail Rout Restored. Through the indefatigable cxert'ons of our P. M. our mail to Chester is restored. P. M. Maffill on his recent trin North topped in Washington, and presented the petition of our citizens in propria persona. Our Post Master is a go ahead man, as this effort showsCharleston and the Fall Trade. The season is near at hand for our country merchants to lay in their Fall stocks, and we are gratified to say our metropolis enjoys at this time, and has enjoyed the whole summer, the beat of hoalth. The country merchant can visit Charleston now without the slightest fear of Yellow [''ever, 1 or any other metropolitan summer disease. 1 The Charleston papers inform us that the wholesale merchants are returning with full ! stocks, anticipating lurge sales the coming ' season. We hope their expectations may . be realised. We desire to see Charleston I prosper. We would wish to see her make as rapid advances as any other city. On a former occasion some of our Charleston | friends wore somewhat exasperated because ( we dared to assert her wholesale dealers , pursued a wrong polioy. We would like to know if our observations were not correct? We would like to know why so ma* ny country merchants have been in the hab- 1 it of making their purchases in Baltimore ' and the othor Northern cities? There must ' have been some reason for this. i Wo statod in our article on tho subject l that some kinds of merchantable goods were i tOO-b^x il Charleston. In making the as- , sertion we know our intention w;.s not to , prejudice our country friends, but simDlv to ' ( cornet an error on the part of Charleston merchant*. The people of Charloston may suppose they are always right, but we can demonstrate tho fact that they nre not unfreqnently wrong. Why is it that Charleston has made such tardy advancement as compared with other cities? She has a rich baek country to support her, r.n 1 if she pursued Uie proper p.rflcy, and secured all of her back country trade, site would advance as rapidly as Baltimore and other cities. Wo will examine into the matter briefly. A country merchant is about to lay In bis fall stock of six or ten thou* nd dollars worth of goods. His predilections are for Charleston. She Is the metropolis of our State, our own seaport town. Be- I side* this, it ia easier to purchase goods in < Charleston than in Now York. Whereas, , in the former city, yon can purchase several commodities At one house; in New York yon must aee.t for them at separate house*. In a Charleston Dry Good* House, you ean purchase White gl oils. Print*, faces, Cloths, Silks, &e., in New York you must soek for saeh article at different establishments.? Your accounts bocorno scattered, to soy nothing of the fatigue, and other inconveni oae?*. Ths country merchant knows this, , and h? would avoid it, but h? Wits you ho , auvso money by going North, eten after ( payings hundred or a hundred nnd fifty' dollars travelling expense*. Tha reaaoa of ' *4. thia sa, than ho ?? bay cheapsr. His aiock U an vaaosSod mm; aad IB aasortsd stock 1 san ha. purchased cheaper 1* Now York.? I Dry good* sr? low enough Ckarivaton, in f [ao i 1m has# known sou a try merchant* Ul IF ^ ? # * <4 j ^ r* #i In '? ? # fc,# v I.,# * purchase in Charleston on their return from New York. But we fearlessly s ty it, and we know it to be a fact, that sumo goods can be bought in New York 20 per cent, cheaper than in Charleston; and if Charleston desires a njore abundant trade she must couie down. Wo can give it stances of | proof to show what wo assert. We know a concern which haw had the reputation of selling goods at reasonable prices. Last Fall they purchased iu Charleston, and we have heard a number observe, that "those tnen had quit selling goods as cheap as thoy used to." They did not mark goods at a higher rate of profit, but they cost them higher. Dry goods, shoes, hats, Straw goods, groceries, crockery, will do very well in Charleston, but medicines, hardware, books and stationary, and faney artiticles generally, are entirely too high, or were n year or two ago. There are other causes which act most disastrously ujx>n Charleston. Formerly the country merchant passed through the eitv on his way North. The drummers had a chance at him, and frequently ho was induced to make his purchases there. We have knowu country merchants to leave home with the intention of going to New York, and purchasing in Charleston. In the first place, sho committed the most palpable error, when she refused to build the Knilroad to Wilmington. As we have observed, when our country merchant passed through the city, there was a chance of his purchasing his stock there; at all events he invariably purchased a part; he bought hi- ;..u -?i i v CM. ,_l . I J^IVWI iva UliVI viuvnvi V* l*ww, \>II.U ICS? ton loses tliat trade, for they find it cheaper to buy in Baltimore than to go ho much out of their way. Is another respect does Charleston drive away trade which should flow to her. The Railroad fare is too high.? She should build another toad to Colombia and Hamburg, which would reduce the price and increase travel. Establish n daily line of steamers to New York, and make the city as much a thoroughfare are possible.? She has committed a grievous error, and she must seek to repair it as much as possible. In another respect, should she seek to rival her sister cities, viz: by building manufactories. Are there no poor persons in Charleston who would ba induced to work in a factory? We see poor persons when we visit Charleston. Instead of buying umbrellas and walking canes at the North, mako them at home. You cannot! What under Heaven is there to prcv cnt you? Never, neve." will the South feel independent, until she makes an effort to be so. Our most simple manufactured articles, even ground pepper, spices, mustard, and a thousand other articles, nre produced at Noithern establishments. Tlicie is c pita I in Chariest >n, and it could be employed most profitably, and until the citizens make the proper efforWo secure the back country trade, so long will country merchants p^ss by on the other side. As ihc matter now stands, the best thing Charleston can do is to offer inducements, which wi'l attract her own legitimate trade. Sell goods low.? We hope our country friends will give her a trial this fall. There is no doubt but alio is beginning to find out her error, uud pursue the proper policy. The Charleston wholesale merchants occupy a high position in thuCominerci.il world. Instances have come to our notice where n longer indulgence has been given to country customers, than any Northern concerns would. This is a commendable trait, mid wo would like to see Charleston occupy ? more prominent position. Give her a sail this fall and judge for yourselves. A small stock, say tlireo or four thousand dollars, we are sure would not warrant a trip North. The extra expenses would mo:e than eat up the overplus profit. anniversary or tne Bible Society. Our village of late hits become quite famous for displays of oratory. The glory of the forum of the Roman Senate, teems to have been infused into ihe Judge'V Stand in our Court House. It would in reality seem so, from the manner in which our orators dilate upon the literature of the Roman age. The old Greeks too bave a piece in the picture, Socrates being their representative. From time to lime, we have been expecting a new II iad, with another Ulysses, Telt-machus, with beautiful Penehqte amid a hand of suiter;. Really, without jest, our Lancaster literati have been making deep researches into Roman and Grecian history. And not only in Roman and Grecian Literature have they become perfected. Our friend Cooke,has drank deep from the foun tain of Hebrew theology. To such an ex tent has he carried his researches, he has actually made the discovery, that the literature of Judea, was far superior to that of either Greece or Rome. The Lancnslervillo Bible Society celebrated their first anniversary on Monday last. Our citizens assembled in the Court House about 11 o'cock, and the services were commenced by singing, and prayer by the Uov. J. II. Robinson. After prayer tho same Rev. gentleman deliverer) a sermon, which occupied about one hour and a baif. Mr. Cooke was then c tiled ui>on, who delivered a ch.sat? and address on the Bible cause. We are dieposed to say he hurried along with hi* address too fast,?too much of the recitative and too little of the oratorical/eminding us of the declamation of school-boy days, hut when we reeoilcct that it was late in the day, laboring under the id*A that the ai dience were wearied and hungry, adder) to which, the extreme heat, we must do ws fiiend the justice to say, be did as well ae ary one ?oold under the circum SBSBB.

Many C( houses are selling nearly double the usual quantity of goods. The dry-goods dealers are partictil.ir'y busy. Sonic of the large jobbing-house are compelled to work the entire night, in order to pack and ship the d goods through the day.

Hundreds have died and are still dying. The accounts nro really distressing. Oar friend Magill tells us that the i e ..hborhood of Norfolk and Portsmouth for nvlvs round is infected.? 0 In Hultiniore, New Yo k, and other pinces, they were burning tar as a preven- _ tive. We clip the following from one of {| the papers Mr. M. brought us: St'FFOLK, Va., Sept. 12. Ij I have been so much engaged for the ? last six or eight days that I could not find time to write. Two or three nights during the past week, I was up nursing a ease of yellowfever we had in this town, young Mr. Rid <l!ck, who unfortunately died on Monday morning. Kudosed I send you several of the yellow fever or plague fly. This fly appears to be a sort of "cross" between the t, mosquito ami common horse-fly, and , hare veiy broad and large wings project- . ing upw ards instead of lying flat. The tidings from Portsmouth to-day is l' really heart rending. I feel so sad and ir melancholy, that I can scarcely find cour- c| age to write.
