The Correct TheoryA correspondent of the Charleston OwnJ r\".r holds the following perti nent remarks j in relation to the late card published by i the wholesale dealers in Charleston, urging upon the merchants of the Mouth nod Southwest the policy of purchasing their j supplies from them. l?ot Charleston set j the example of mercantile and commercial i independence of the North, and the inerI chants of the towns and villages of the inj terior will the more readily hearken to her j appeal for patronage : 'It strikes us this buying of the South* I ern and Southwestern merchants from onr ! merchants does ..ot cover up all that should he done. \V? would inquire of those tucr | chants \\ lio made the call, lioni whence do , I tliev' procure their goods?lljey are so I anxious to sell on strictly Southern grounds. We would have been pleased to | notiee in their call some earnest they were disposed to do for the South, what tiiey desired the country merchants to do for them ' ?they should have offered the good* thus to lie sold as direct importations ; the pur chasing by thpm of Northern supplies, to I be sold to Southern and Southwestern rneich.ints, takes nothing from the North, though, indeed, it puts timru into their pock' cts?it benefits not the South at large.

Jan. 10, 1860 3t p f 82.25 eaclf y , TO THE PUBUa Ever since my "Aroarafe Schiedam Scliiinppn"' ?the purest and fcw?t Gin ft>r medical purposes ?became fully appreciated throughout this i country, I have been constantly solicited by druggists, apothecaries, and largo numbers of the most eminent physicians, in all parts ot the Union, to add to my Gin importations iwire ' i . i) i: l ttr: ...j iiranuics HIU 11 men, auu H) ooiue metn me mmc as I am and have been doing with the r I Schnapps ; to seal with my seal and give my certificate guarantying their undoubted purity. I should long ngo have endeavored to coin* ply "vith the tlnttering requests, but I found it impossible to do so, especially in regnrd to the > important articles of Brandy, Port and Madeira Wines, owing to the high prices in Europe, a occasioned by short grape crops for some years. \ ^ llappily for the success of my new enterprise, the grape crops for the last and the previous years were abundant. knottier point in my favor is this : the duty now no French Brandy is 70 per cent, less than it was when my medical friends began to solicit me to iuriiish pure Brandy and Wines. These favoring circumstances have enabled me to commence a new enterprise. I have concluded to j import Cognac Brandy and Wines, to bottle them for medical as well as for?private use. I am well aware, front the bittnr experience, the vile attacks, the uii.srcprc-cuUvtion of motives < and enmity of dealers and miters of bad articles which I met with and cQtn.ucrcd in the case of my chnapp.s, bcfoie it obihined its present proud pre-ciuinence over all other <?ins, that the new enterprise will bo attended qrith , equal opposition, more trouble, and involve aq * immense outlay ol capital. The difficulties ami expenses will i>c much greater, because I shall have to neountcr the malignity and enmity of countless thousands who ate engaged in the liquor trade, and making fortunes.by the manufacture of infamous imitations of "Brandy" iiiaqe from poisonous compounds?their use toting alike destructive to healthy human life, ami of course stieedv d. itli to llio f.>..!,!. inv?. lid, or those in whose behalf eminent physician* have m upon mo the importation of a pure, in vigornling article of Itiamly. 1 shall do no, in spile of .ill opposition, even that of tin il<: i ^ WTj era ami sellers ofilie sluft" in Intllrn culled "Brail- ? dj," of which million* o( Pottle* uro uutnnil!\ sfl sold, ii.'td vlilch is no l>etter than the vnn-l f poison*. I am perfectly willing ami well satisfied to etnlMtrk in this new enterprise, and ha* e no fear?, no uotihls about the most ultimate success lor myself and the druggists ami apotlie. caries ill the thirty-three Stales, if tiny will heartily co.opoinlo with me in my efforts to drive oi.t of tilt ;lie vilest of compound*, called ''lirandy,'' and replace it with the pure,unadulterated uitii^u, 1 will faithfully ami truly supply. Th\: inadipal \irtipia <>( pure French lirandy need not la be told. Tl',e If randy imported by me I will bottle, seal with my seal, my label, and add my certificate that it is of the first <piulity, and pure ami unadulterated as when it left the distillery in France. t ..ill ...L.. ..... ? standing us a merchant, and iiit tried commercial integrity, that ? hat I pledge and certify to with my Real, my luliel, and my certificate is correct, and can lie relied upon by pur? ha*en in any section of the Union to which my Brandy |nav be sent. 1 have made airangement with the he.s( Brandy manufacturer* in France, with those who have n world-wide renown as the fii-st Brandy cxpoiters. 1 have selected four eminent firm* who will ship me their Brandies. I shall not designate the ai tide l>y * any other name than Wolfe's Genuine Cognac j Brandy. If 1 were to do otherwise it would bo iBc^csa, for the unprincipled persons, who are inieMUuwIy engaged i (he nefarious traflie of imitating all valuable articles, would soon luii. tate ami adopt my mark as a cloak under whicft to sell their com|?ound of poisons to cover the rile imposition. 1 am now pie pared to receive ami execute orders for Wolfe's Genuine Cognac Brandy addressed to me, N9.

In this circular I have thus far writu-n main- . ly about pure Cognac Brandy ; 1 have now to call your attention to othe. liquors and wines. 1 am prepared to supply orders for "Jaiuacg Bum," imported and bottled by me ; also "Irish and Scotch WhiiV??

I shall also import the parent and heat "Madeira," "Port," and "Sherry" Wine* for Modi cat purpose*. These I also guaranty with ity seal, wry label, and my certificate. In conclusion permit me to add that I shall he happy to .hear from those that this circular reaches, and whose personal or pocuniary rote rests it may effect, in the combination of articles thst I engage tasupph. Should any such person visit New York?especially a Druggist, Apothecary or Physician?I sliall he most nhpi py to receive a personal call. There is no importer who possesses more actual experience and knowledge of the importing liquor and wine trade than I do, I havo been engaged in it over thirty years. I have narrated some facts connected with my new enterprise, for the particular informs* tion of those connected with the practice or the sale pf medicines. If I am favored with the visits of any sbch, or t>y friends to whom they give letters of introduction to uia, they can see ?Hh their own eyes, and test my truthfulness by thei* nwr. ohaervation.
