CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 15, 18C7. THE SPRING TRADE. We have reached the middlo of Febrnary, and the pleasant days of Spring are upon us; tba time of t?l the yoar the most pleasant in our climate; when the occasional and fitful rigors of Winter are past, and ero yet the oppressive heat of the Sun's vertical rays gives our atmosphere a tropical char? acter. The trees are in bloou, the gardens full of fragrance, and resplendent in their woalth of floral beauty. Our porks and public promenades once more are clad with virgin green. The birds are warbling their lenten carrols; in short, nature is gay, and all her creatures glad, rejoicing in their youth and beauty. rbis is the season when many of our friends from the interior usually visit our city. The Races, in the bright and golden days of yore, attracted many strangers to the city. There was a fine flourishing Theatre also, now no more, that exer? cised no small influence in bringing strangers to Charleston. We are now deprived of these ex? traneous attractions, but the pleasant climate Btill is ours, so the soft zephyrs of spring, and the ex? hilarating breezes wafted in from the bosom of the broad Atlantic. Our hotels are excellently fitted np, and oner to the traveller all the means and appliances wherewith to take his comfort and enjoy his ease. But Charleston is a great commercial cent re? ihe natural outlet of a large extent of back coun? try. The merchants of this and adjoining States for years have como to Charleston to make their purchases, and the leading houses of out city were in business relations with every part of the South and West. The several years of the war, and, still more, the general disruption of the frame? work of commerce, as of society, consequent upon the disastrous CIOBO of om* war, have done much to derango this current of trade. But our mer? chants have been up and doing. They set to work promptly; fine stores were fitted up; large and well assorted stocks of goods of every description were brought here, and offered at reasonable rates. The railroads have all boen repaired, and are, many of them at least, in better order now than they were before the wur. The rates of freight are reasonable, and every effort is made, we have reason to believe, by the President and Superin? tendents of the several lines of roads radiating here, to facilitate the 'business in every possible way, and we have of late heard but few complaints on this score. There is now regular communica? tion by rail with every part of the country; and by steamboat with Savannah, Florida, the eastern and northeastern parts of this State, ss well as with all the leading ports of the North. The ave? nues are all open, and there is every inducement for buyers to come hore. . We have* importers and jobbers here in every lino of trade. Groceries, Dry Goods, Hats, Cloth? ing, Farjcy Goods, Hardware, Straw Goode and Milliner}-, Saddlery, Drugs, - Paints, Boots and Shoes, toaks, Crockery,-in short, every thing that human flesh would wish to be heir to, can be had here in abundano9, and at prices as low as those obtaining in New- York, the prioo of freight and insurance clous being added. It is manifestly therefore to the interest of the country merchant to purchase here, where he is known ; where he can come and select his goods ?very month, or every two mouths, rather than go on to Now York once or twice a year. The old credit system, al? ways a great curse to the country, is abolished. Transactions of all kinds, both North and South, as a rule, are for cash. This is found the best, the- safest, and altogether the most satisfactory method ol transacting business now. Such is the fluctuation in the price of gold, the standard of the eireoiating medium, that thc credit system must of necessity be entirely incompatible with it ; to say nothing of the very unsettled condition 6i political affairs, and the general loss of con? fidence, engendered thereby through every circle of trade, through every walk of life. Cash, therefore, is the word; or what is consid? ered equivalent, a enoit credit with city pecept iiice. On these terms goods are purchased, and on these they must be sold; and however inconve? nient the sys tom may be at the cutset, in the end it will be found that it works best to all parties, infinitely to the advantage of the jobber, scarcely less so to the country merchant, and so likewise to the retail purchaser and final consumer. It witf be easy, by following this plan, at all tim ea for each party to lake the measure of his standing. Ihe item of "bad" and "doubtful debts" will no longer disfigure the "profit and loss" side of the ledger; and the consumer will not be under the iiagreeable necessity of meditating how to pay for' j what has already been consumed. The old indis? criminate credit system was impolitic, unfair, and niquitouB,-euch as ultimately must prove, ruin? ous to any'country. Obligations between mer? chants and merchants, or merchants and bankers, are recognized the world over with scrupulous ex? actness. But the moment the merchant enters tn to any negotiations of this character with an unmercantile party, never mind what his occupa? tion or profession, what his position in society, or what his character for honesty or integrity, he can? not feel the same confidence and security. This Tact is toe well known to need any proof in further Elucidation. ?Commercial honesty is often sneered E.t by tiie moralist; tho poet long ago said: "Honor sinks whore commerce long prevails." We shall not undertake, to Say there is no truth in this. But certain is that the merchant only, of all classes jf society, feels a .sacred obligation to redeem bis pledge to the very letter; to'meet his drafts on the irery day they fall due. How this is to be done, when his debtors do not make similar exertions, inlesR he have an exhaustless capital, we aro at a loss to indicate. *" Let the merchants then from Florida, Georgia, Mabama, Iffississippi, 8outh and North Carolina, ?me to Charleston, as was their wont' in other lays. They will find a good market hore for nny produce they may wish to bring to market; and ?hey will as heretofore, find a large and excellently issorted stock of goods and merchandise of every le8criptiou, at as reasonable rates as they can oh? ain in Now York, Philadelphia, Boston or Balti nore. Lot them come, and try us once again. Dur Merchants, Importers and Jobbers, all expect i large trade thia Spring, and we earnestly hope hey may folly realize their most sanguine expecta ione. PHILANTHROPY. Human nature is very curious. While it ie tine hat in the main it is always and everywhere the ame, yet it undergoes various changes from time o time, the causes of which are still a mystery to he mental physiologist. Virtues and vices par akeof the changes of fashion; and although the 'rustic moralist" may, in his simplicity, think hese standards have long been settled, he would oon find, on opening a newspaper or going to longress, that what was once thought u virtue, as now become all but ^disreputable, and what ras formerly held very proper and highly respecta ?le, is now a "covenant with sin;" an institution ecognized by Scripture, and, in days not long oat, legalized in every civilized and Christian ountry, ia now only known as tho Bimi of nil ill any. Philanthropy is a virtue entirely of modern in ention. It ii? not denied that there wero good ooplo in other days also. ABRAHAM, MOSES, DA ID, SOCRATES, ANTONINUS, HABOUN-AL-RASCQID, XIBED, ST. LOUIS, BARBAROSSA, tho first JAMES of ENGLAND, GEORGE WASHINGTON, and others: they ero all very well; but they wer? good only ac srding to thc lights they possessed. It was Uteir tisfortune to have been born before (he nineteenth mtury. Wera these same men privileged now to 5vi6it this earth, hov/ they would o?? i their eyes, ad be rejoiced to seo ali the blaci: people made bite, and under tho tender nurture ol' thc Burean. Whether they wou'd equally enjoy all the abject ii8ory, poverty and beggary, sickness and death, t ostration of commerce, desolation of the country, ad all but a famine through a largo part of the >untry, wc are not prepared to say. A Calcutta jrrespondent of the London Times, December 'tb, (rives some details of the recent famine in the District of Orissa. A Government Commissioner ins prepared a report t of which it is said: A pict ure more heart-rending, facts more hide JUS, could not ho given. Tho Commissioner eati nates the deaths m Orissa alone at 500,000 to 600, 100, and in some "places be admits that three fourths of the population have been carried off. Crissa had fire millions.' Add the mortality of Midnapore, which was as severely visited ; of Gan j am and Chota Nagpore, which wore terribly yet moro mildly, dealt with ; Calcutta, whose hospitals still te'l so sad a tale ; and of the other districts, where the sequelae at least of starvation, carried nff manv, and remember that the deaths a-e still going on at the rate of a hundred a day, and yon will agree with the rough estimate generally ac? cepted here that the number of victima will not be under a million. - in 1838-9, whon as little was done for relief as in 1866," the rc or tali ty in the Jum? na Doab was 800,000. But tho tale bf victims ia this Orissa visitation mounts higher than even that, as high as the great est of all recorded famines inindia-that of 1779. England, that shed so many tears and expended so much philanthropic cont over the fat, sleek and frolicksome slaves of the South, while they were slaves, owned this starving million of people aa completely SB the Southern people ever owned their slaves, and was as completely responsible for their well-being. But their, starvation scarcely cost even Exeter Hall a sigh. What a curious thing is that which is called philanthropy 1 WANTS. WANTED, A YOUS G WOMAN AS CHILD'S Nurse..
