Tlie Mercury of yesterday says : In passing through Hayno and Meeting streets i recently, our attention has been directed to the immense number of bales, cases and casks of mcr cnanuisc 01 uircct. importation. Our merchants really seem to be 111 earnest, ami, from conversations, we find that our importers have been enabled to lay their stocks down at prices much below what they have been in the habit of paying Northern houses for the same class of goods. They can now better compete with other markets, and rrt trust the interior trade will continuo to patronize their own people instead of enriching Northern fanatics, who really have no sympathy for us or our institutions. The fall trade has opened very briskly, and merchants who havo visited our city are much pleased with the stock of goods exhibited to them. If the direct importers arc to be encouraged, and they certainly should bo, our neighbors of Georgia, Alabama and' Tennessee should help to grease the wheels. Wo arc sure none will regret a visit to Charleston. Maaa Meeting and Barbecue The mass meeting and barbecue, at Franklin, N. C., on tho 8th instant, was well attended. Judge Frost, tho President of the lUuc Ridge Railroad, made one of his beet speeches. Messrs. Thomas, Vancb and others also spoke well and effectively.

FOR Til* KROWfiK COURIKH. To "Georges' Creek." Mr. Editor: I hoo in your Inst issue, several questions propounded by some of tlto rotors of Georges' Crook to tlio candidates for the Legislature. Believing in tlio right of the people to know tlto political opinions of candidates for political office, I willingly reply, and will do it as briefly as I can, so that [ can be understood: 1st. I think the query in relation to "treating" might, with equal propriety, have been proposed to t|io candidates for district offices. Why wait lilliil i?ul I,..!1 II.. -1 -11 ? - * umviv mi- election lor mc i.egisiaiure, 1 when it in known there arc but few of tlie candidates for the Legislature) that treat. Hut I am a "plain man," mid perfectly willing to answer this , as well as the others. I believe that it is a priviloge,. guaranteed lo us by our ancestors, to treat i or lot it alone. 1 think the Legislature ought .io*. to have anything to do with it. Let the voters doI cidc the question for themselves. 2d. As to the usury law, I tliinlc we sent as wise men to the Legislature when that was enacted, as | we have now: and, if they should tamper with it, are quite as likely to make it worse than better. I od. As to the Penitentiary. ! ain in favor of one, or some oilier place to put the prisoners to work, and lot them pay their own expenses, instead of the St^ite defraying them. 4th. The election of Lincoln is to be deprecated. I favor the election of ihikckknuiooe and Lank, and will vote for them if elected. I regard tho agitation of the question of separate State action, or secession, as premature. Tho candidates for the Legislature cannot be called on to decide that matter. Nevertheless, in tho event that Lincoln i?-- ......... in cirmu resilient Ol 1110 LllllCU fSHItOS, I WOUltl not favor (lie wii hdrawal of South Cuvolinaor any oilier Statu fronr I lie Union, until lie tramples on our rights.

York and Philadelphia can liavo failed to pro! ccive tho groat dillercncc in the manner of conducting business, and in the efforts used to procurc trade. In the former city everything is done in the u<! Coplandum stylo.? Tho inorchant who at vast outlay fills his rooms nnd stocks his shelves with tho world's morchnndiac, no sooijpr docs so t.Jian he sets aoout attracting tho" attention of customers by every devieo and display known to tho trudo. The front of the building ho occupies \n covered up with signc, informing the na^ers-by of who he is, and what he has for snlo : frotn his windows stream samples of his goods, and everything around and about his establishment betokens that ho is determined that no ono outside shall remain ignorant* of 0 what is to bo found inside. This display bo I ing made to attract the attention of the passers-by, ho then takos stops to invite tho notice of thoso who do not pass by, nnd thoso who dwell abroad, and to this end he seeks tho advertising columns of tho press. This ho docs, as ho docs everything else, upon an extensive sonlo, nnd the well filled columns of the New York papers tell with what spirit he docs it. Very differently is it dono in our city.? Here, tho vast majority of thoso who are engaged in trade seem to imagine that when they have fillecl their stores, their work is ' done, and, sub sileiitio, they await the calls , of trade. Instead of attempting the outw.ird ' displays of the former city, tliey retire qui- : etly to the snug recesscs of their marts, and j ' hope to make much gain by " hiding their l ; light under a bushel." 1Ti?\v absurd is this, | and how unbusinesH like. The man who advertises, and thus informs both buyers and | consumers where their wants can be supplied, j always has succeeded and always will Ruccecd. ' Liberal advertising is the life of business. I | and lie who docs most at it, can always do I i i most at anything else. ! Maimiikd, on tlio 13th August lint, l\y II. ). An- | ! thouy.
