Why is this county bulwark of Radicalism, or cspoinago over quiet and respectable citi zens to bo continued in Oconee?

January 2, 1809. _ | Tho True Interests of the South. In looking into tho history of the South before tho war says tho "Columbia Phoenix'' it will be found that ainoo her earliest settle ment tho almost putire labor of tho country has been applied to ngrioulturo, and that tho surplus products have beim shipped to u for eign market. Tho "Newark (N. J.) Journ al" strikes the nail ou tho hoad, when it as sorta that uo oountry has over acquired wealth by exporting its manufactured products. Now if the South is wise, she will oea.io to oivry on a traillo in which she always has boon und al ways must be a loser?.sho will sot up for hoir self, and instead of parting with tho products af nil bor labor to support tho balance of tho world, sho will manufacture her own olothiug, and uot stopping at this, will piooooJ. to mm- , ufacture tho wholo of her orop, aud thoroby | , upon the world fora portion of her form Tho timo has arrived wheu this should be brought tj the consideration duil iu tho South, and all the m it should bo collootod and Ly. In uo way o;in she moro tho aid of tiling of suol tro desi "ou t?facturca instead o of their ero mrposos of surplus mo loiatiou might to couununo$thc work in every impor tot district iu a very short timo. Iu con templating tho result i of such a policy, wc oan at oneo sec how the Southern people would be the gamers. And first of all, tho value of the cotton to bo manufactured 'fbuld be increased to her at least 20;) por oont. In. stead of being drained of i?or aubstauoo as she has been by every other people, the current would he reversed, and woilth How into her coffers from, allfhe nations of tho earth.

The Senate was in cxecutivo session part of the day in confirmation of the Governor-'e appointment of county officers. Corbiu introduced a Bill to determine the value of eontmcts made in Confederalo notes, also a Bill to puntali porsons obtaining prop erty under falso pretences. Hai noy gave notice of a Bill to amend an Act to provide for certain oflio?a. It propose an increr.se of salary of the Governor's Secre tary to two thousand dollars, and the Stato Auditor to two thousand fiyo hundred dol lars. In the House, a Bill to allow the Attorney*1 General to chango the venue in State cascsj was read twice The Bill has in view the ro moval of parties under arrest for murder, &c, in the upper part of tho Stale to other parts where the colored population predominate. There was considerable debato over tho second reading of tho Bill to regulate tho Ju. dicial Circuits. It proposes an inorenso of| one Circuit Judge. It is thought WhippQ? will bo the Judge.

Tl".c "National Intelligouccr/' in uotioing tbc dcc?sp of Mr. Botls, says : Mr. Botta was in past years onoof tho most proiniiiont politicians of Virginia. Ilo was born in Prince William Couuty, of that Stato, September 10, 1802. His parents were lost in tho conflagration of tho Riohmond Theatre, iu 1811, when he was sent to boarding school, und subsequently, at a very oarly ago, was admitted as a uiombev of the Richmond bar Soon afterwards ho retired to a farm in Ilon rico Couuty, but taking an activo part in pol" itics, ho was oloctod a mombor of tho Stato Legislature iu 1833, aud served in that capac ity till 1839, when ho was elected to Cougrcss, to which ho was ro elected in 18- , aud also to'tho Thirtieth Congross, after which ho re sumcd tho practico of tho law at Richmond. Although over declining nominations for public office iu his State, ho managed to keep his name prominently before the country as a politician, and in 1858 was urgently pressed for the nomination as the oandidatc of the American or Know-Nothing patty for the. Presidency. Baring tho war Mr. Botts ro maineJ faithful to tho Union aud afterwards wua auoordad sumo prominence by the loyal, ills of Virginia, who desired to have the coun. tonauoo ot ? uativo Virginia Uuiou man; but bo Boon discovered that they intended, simply ?0 uso him, and not to confer upon h?m any power whatever. Ho had warm friends and bitter cucinici His death destroys ouo of the few romaiuing links that connect our present with our past political history. A Small nut* Significant Fact.?A gentleman in mercantile business, when in New York lately, whilst glancing over tho reg istry of tho National Hotel there, came across a business directory printed on tho blotters, wc think, of the book, in which he noticed tho names of a firm engaged iu the business ho was in, of which ho was never before aware, nor with whom had ho ever had airy personal acquaintance. This ndvC'i tiscmont may have cost thorn as lcVr as five dollars'. It was but cue ?r two lines. Tho next morning he re paired to their place and bought ?157.71, tho advertisement alono directing him thore pri marily; their prioes Of course holding him.

Rosscau, commanding the Department of Louisiana at Now Oilcan.;. Tho "Atlauta Constitution," In noticing Con. Rossoau'a death, nays : *'! Jlis death will be keenly felt by his many friends throughout the country. In all the force of a vigorous und powerful constitution at command, ho has suddenly fallen as it gi ant of the forost before an unexpected storm. A min of positive forces, there were no neg atives in his character. With him right on the one hand and wrong on the other were distinctly marked. No influence oculdswervo him from a principle or the discharge of a du ty. The writer knew him veil and intimate ly boforo the war, and although differing with him in tho causo ho took in the contest, his after conduct only convinced us the more firm ly of his upright intent. ! Ucnoral llossoau was born in Mercer coun ty, Kentucky ; was about fifty years of age and a lawyer, by profession. He was a gal. lant soldier in tho Mexican war; then mcm_ ber of the Kentucky Senate for several sea. sious ; a soldier in the lato war ; then cico toi to Congress from the Louisville districts ; which position he resigned ; was next sent to Alaska, and then to tho Department of Lou isiana. Radicalism had a determined foe in G ono rai Rosscau. His death will be lamented by moderate man of nil parties. SuilDKN CoLLAP:'5k OF tiik COLORED REP r?sentativ ?.?
