The great Commercial Convention at Memphis adjourned sine die on Saturday afternoon, after passing resolutions of thanks to the citizens and press of Mem? phis. From the reports of tho proceedings of the Commercial Convention, on "Wednes? day, published in the Memphis papers, we make the following extracts: Mr. W. S. Hastie, of South Carolina, submitted the following: Whereas, tho disasters of war have de? stroyed the banking capital of the South, and as the high rates of interest paid by tho planters of the South and South-west for loans of foreign capital for tho last three years, has swept away the profits of those who have made partial crops, and almost ruined tho planters on the sea-coast, whose crops have failed for three successive years; and as it au acknowledged fact that no agri? culturist can safely pa}* moro than seven per cent, per annum for loans dependent upou tho chances of tho products of the soil; and, whereas, in view of our largo national debt, if it is of vitnl importance to tho inte? rests of the United States that tho produc? tion of cotton, tobacco, rice and sugar should bo stimulated; therefore, bo it Resolved, That tho Finance Committee of the convention prepare a memorial to the Congress of the United States for relief, and to submit said memorial to this conven? tion for its approval. The basis of tho re? lief naked to be founded upon tho hypothe? cation of the bonds of the several Southern and South-western States with the United States; said bonds of the States having twenty years to run, and bearing nn interest of six per cent, per anuum, payable semi? annually, and receiving in lieu thereof the bonds of the United States bearing six per cent, interest per annum, payable semi-an? nually, and tho bonds maturing at even time with tho State bonds (twenty years.) The funds realized from tho sale of the United States bonds to bo invested in a na? tional bank, to bc located in each State, with such checks and balances as the wis? dom of Congress may direct. The amount asked for in no event to ex? ceed one-lifth of the banking capital pos? sessed by each State ou tho 1st of January, 1860. Referred to the Committee on Fi? nance. Mr. Hastio presented a long communica? tion from John A. Wagener, Commissioner of Immigration for South Carolina, in which that gentleman expresses his belief that Baron Beust, tho enlightened Austrian Minister, would readily outer into arrange? ments to promote trade relations between that empire and the Southern Staten. Ho also recommends the establishment of n di? rect steamship line between Charleston and Trieste, tho Austrian port on the Adriatic. A communication from Commodore Iu grnham was also referred to the same com? mittee, in which that officer expresses his opinion that, although tho distance between Charleston and Trieste would be greater than upon tho Northern route from Bromen, the advantage of weather would, especially in winter, bo in its favor. To the committee on other business and agriculture was referred a long communica? tion from Senator F. A. Sawyer, of Charles? ton, regretting his inability to be present e.t the convention, and expressing the hope that irritating topics would bo avoided. The writer fears that too large a proportion of the people, of more than ono race, are non-producers. Let the manly work from industry iud tho rest be shamed into it by their neighbors, and our prosperity is solved. Providence bas supplied priceless gifts; let ns use them by our labor-that is, make capital, buili railroads and levee rivers. If the convention can teach this lesson oi labor to our people, it will have done more than politicians and projects of all kinds. Mr. G. H. Walter, of South Carolina, submitted the following, whioh was roferred to tbe Committee ou Railroads: Whereas, tb 3 Bine Ridge Railroad, to connect Knoxville, Tennessee, with a point on tho Groenvillo and Columbia Railroad, in tho State of South Carolina, by Acts re? cently ratified, bas providod for the endorse? ment of the bonds of the said company to tho extent of 84,000,000; and whereas, by the completion of this road and tho connec? tion of Knoxville with Cincinnati by rail, a continuous line of railway from tuc great WOHL to n Southern port on the Atlantic will thus be opened by the shortest, most desirable and practicable route. Resolved, That in the opinion of this con? vention it is eminently to the interest of Southern and South-western States that the Blue Ridge Railroad should bo at once com? pleted, and we cordially commend this en? terprise to the people cf tho South-west. Mr. Millett, of South Carolina, submitted the following: Whereae, this convention has assembled to devise menus for developing the resources of the South in building the Southern Pa? cific Railroad, in leveeing tho Mississippi River, and making available the mineral treasures of the Mississippi valley; and whereas, to accomplish theso ends it is essential to increase our labor; and to increase our labor, immigration from Europe must, bo had by means of steamers of heavy draught and largo capacity, plying directly between Southern ports and Eu? rope; be it, therefore, Resolved, That in tho opinion of this convention the great harbor of Port Royal, on the thirty-second parallel of latitude, is one of the greatest porta of the South At? lantic coast, and that the railroad from that point to Augusta, Georgia, should be com? pleted as speedily as possible. Mr. Millett, in offering his resolution, said that in the Southern States they must have immigration, and must put forth all their efforts to procure it. In regard to di? rect trade, it hud been said that they had no Southern port to compete with New York where immigrants oould land. Within the past fifteen years a great chango had taken place in regard to the vessels carrying passengers across the At? lantic. Fifteen year* ago they hud wooden ships, then they got hide-wheel steamers, but noa* there were iron propellers. And out of ninety-fivo vessels engaged in tho ocean trade to and from New York, only two were side-wheels. The average tonnage of the propellers was 2,500, and few wero below that, mid all or nearly nil drew nine? teen feet of water, and South of Capo Hat? teras they had no port that had over sixteen feet at the bar. In the State which he rep? resented they had a port whero tho waler was twenty feet deep. He had only to re? nnick thut in South Carolina they had a har? bor equal to New York, and that harbor was Port Royal. Tho resolution v. as referred to the Com? mittee on Immigration. Mr. William S. Hastie, of South Caroli? na, introduced the following, which was re? ferred: Whereas, by Act of Congress, passed March 28, 1854, certain cities of tho West aud South-west ure allowed to import goods ia bond through the cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and New Orleans, entirely iguoring Norfolk, Vir? ginia, uud Wilmington, North Carolina, and limiting Charleston and Savannah to three points-Knoxville, Nashville and Memphis; and whereas, since the passage, of that law the Southern Atlautio cities havo made extensive railroud connections with the West and South-west, Resolved, That the Committee on Direct Importation be requested to framo a peti? tion to Congress, asking that all ports of entry in the United States be placed upon the same footing as to the importation of goods in bond by iuterior cities. A report in favor of holding uuother con? vention at Louisville, on the 12th of Octo? ber next, also for a committee of one from ouch State, to preparen constitution and by? laws for the convention, to bo reported at the next meeting, was adopted. The following resolutions by Mr. Austin, of Tennesseo, were adopted: Resolved, That the delegates here assem? bled from all parts of the Southern States fully represent tho spirit and purposes of the groat body of tho Southern people. Resolved, That this convention, in justice to tba members and in justice to tho people of the United States, deem it expedient nnd proper on this occasion to declare that there is not now, and has not been since tho sur? render of the Confederate armies, any other purposo or design on tho part of tho great mass of tho peoplo than a cordial and thorough restoration cf fraternal ?dations in all sections of this broad land. Resolved, That it is tho deliberate opinion of this convention that erroneous impres? sions upon the minds of the people of each section iu regard to the other, so easily made and so hard to remove, have been and nov/ are the greatest obstacles in tho way of prompt and thorough adjustment of our political and industrial relations, which would create peace, contentment and uni? versal prosperity throughout tho eutiro country. Resolved, That a copy of those resolu? tions be presented to the President of tho United States by a committee of one mem? ber from eaoh State here represented, ap? pointed by the President of this conven? tion. Of the committees appointed, the Hon. Wm. Spragno, of Rhode Island, was ap? pointed tho chairman to memorialize Lue Cotton Supply Association and the Associa? tion of Manufacturers and Planters, with regard to production of cotton. A Jewish couple in Washington wero di? vorced according to tho rates of the Jewish Church, on Thursday. The County and Town of Newberry-No. 9. To NORTHERN CAPITALISTS AND IMMI? GRANTS: The County of Nowberry, agricul? turally considered, lies within au extent of territory running from Chester County and extending into Georgia, whioh has been pronounced by a distinguished man to be the finest cotton land in the world, except? ing no place. Tho soil is also finoly suited to the cultivation of the cereals. Since the war, by a little extra pains and labor, toge? ther with manuring, lands that formerly, under tho pull down mid drag out system, produced only B?X bushels of wheat to the nore, have been made to produce twenty-five bushels, and as of fine quality us eau almost be produced anywhere. As to water power, there is an ample abundance of it. Numerous streams wind through its area. It is one amoDg the finest watered Counties in the State. This is cer? tainly a great inducement for large manu? facturing investments. The climate is in tho highest degree favorable, while in the lending branch of all manufactories she has an advantage over the Northern States that is, in time, bound to give her both capital and population-that is, manufacturers eau spiu and weavo cotton on the ground where it is raised. This is decidedly a great ad? vantage. Probably there might be some apprehen? sion in suspicious minds as to the facilities for the transporting of goods, if they should be manufactured ou a large scale. 13ut wo think no fears need be entertained. Upon this poiut capitalists may rest secure, upon that honest but true maxim, which is as readily applicable to great business matters as to individuals, that "necessity is tho mo? ther of invention." Railroads will be gra dually built, in proportion to the demand for them aud tho increase of business, and at no very distant day, nevertheless fogies and carpers, they will be spread over this country like a net-work, if there is bestowed tho proper energy and enterprise in tho de? velopment of our manufacturing and agri? cultural resources. Tho advantages con? ferred by tho God of nature arc amply suf? ficient to enable capitalists to competo suc? cessfully with New England, Old England, or any other manufacturing country under thc sun. Among tho advantages that may bo reck? oned as not inconsiderable, is tho vast dif? ference in climate. For inctance, Lowell, in Massachusetts, is situated in latitude 421 o North. The climato is very cold. In mid-winter, not only there, but all North, the mills are seriously interfered with by freezes. For six or eight months of the year it is essentially necessary to raise, by artificial means, the temperature of the at? mosphere in order that the spindles and looms may run successfully. The furnaces and fuel required to produce this artificial heat form no inconsiderable item of ex? pense. From ali this this, climate is entire? ly exempt. Farther than this, there is a material per centum-say those acquainted -in favor of the South in the comparative operation of thu atmosphere of tho two climates upon tho machinery and upon cot? ton, from its raw state, through the various processes to which it is subjected. You can work machinery here of any kind at all seasons of tho year without having to resort to artificial heat. You may ask tho question, tho healthful? ness of tho Southern climate; of this Coun? ty for white laborers? We aro satisfied that many-in fact, all portions of tho South are as favorable to thc health of white labor? ers as any country. However it may be as to the health of white laborers in cotton fields, exposed to tho hot sun and morning dows in the full season, wo are disposed to think that the negro, free os he is, is better suited as a field laborer in tho South than tho white man can ever be: yoe, there can bo no doubt that white men, women and children in many portions of the South, particularly in this County, will bo equally as healthy in factories as the operatives in similar establishments in any part of the world. They can have better food, better clothes, better homes and cheaper, and, in fact, everything in more abundance than anywhere else. Considered in a commercial point of view, the town of Newberry has no superior in this State, outside the city of Charleston, having a surrounding country fertile and productive, and offering as fine, if not finer, inducements for trade than any town in the interior; all of which ha? been derived from the swift foot of the iron horse, whose clattering stamps is heard day after day wending its way from the sea-board to the mountains, and whose strong bnck brings and carries away untold amounts of mer? chantable and agricultural wealth.

You have just finished your dinner, wo will say, and fool as if you had swallowed lead, instead of wholeaorao food. You have a sensation of tightness round tho upper part of tho diaphragm, as if somo enako of thc constrictor tribe held you in its embrace, and had knottod its coils over tho pit of your stomach.

Perhaps you aro incredulous; but if you have read tho testimony of tho eminent citizens, in every walk of life, who bavo teated tho preparation, and submitted tho reaulta of their experience to tho public through the press, you ought at least to havo sufficient faith to mako a trial of it in your own case.
