To .Charleston the Road is all important, as we have j j heretofore demonstrated, and, consequently, to \ ,tlu?t city we look with confidence for decisive j ] measures for its early construction.

The South i6 making stcady'advatjec in manufacturing enterprise. No snddenjawish is witnessed into new business cngStocSihoijis, bid auietly, in city after city, over tnV extent of: ic Southern States, a movement is made to set the spindle and the loom ill motion, thus varying bur employments and adding to thesources of our prosperity. * In nrcR4'nt condition of tlic country. any advmice in domesticating manufactures in the slave States is a favorable indication. It shows a disposition to acquire industrial independence, and brings new agencies for harmonizing condieting interests into action. Mississippi has made several successful efl'orts to establish manufactures. The most profitable factory in the Union is in one of the Eastern counties of that State. It may be doe to this fact, that a disposition is gaming strength' in that State to embark to a greater extent m this sjiccies of industry. Many of the cotton plnnters have introduced upon their plantations the new machine for spinning the raw staple at the gin. This, perhaps, adds to the-favor with which investment i in factories begins to he viewed. At a meeting of the Warren Agricultural' Society, held in Vicksbnrg on the 3d instant,, it was resolved to establish a Cotton factory iii that county, under the direction.of the association. The design is to manufacture coarse cotton. fabrics, and the members of the association nledsrc themselves to each other to give the enterprise their undivided support. The enterprise is to be commenced on a scale and under a management, which will secure success. Negroes are to be turned to service in the various departments, and -the whole enterprise is to depend, at the commencement, upon a home market. This is a movement iu the right direction.? The South can manufacture cheaper than any other part of the world. With the. raw materia! growing in sight of the factory, with slave labor that, under all circumstances and at all times, is absolutely reliable ; with provisions of every description and of the .best quality, and cheaper than in any other quarter, iiiuU furnished without the cost of tmuspoftatij^R the manufactured fhbrics can be produecuW as to compete with any in the world. Tim North, and Europe herself will ultimately find that the South has advantages for manufacturing purposes that even pauper white labor will not counterbalance.

The game proceeded, nevertheless, without verbal comment, and was rapidly won by Mr. Morphy. No sooner did he deliver the "checkmate" than one of the most intense lookers on, breathless with pent-up emotion, exciuimed, "For the love of heaven tell nie why you did not take the knight?" "Hecause," said .Mr. Morpliy,all alive to the nature of his friend's concern, "It was a deep laid plot. In a few moves I should have lost the game by a stalemate. Mr. Andersseu saw the game was desperate, and he planned the snare for me." So saying, he re placed the pieces as thev had been at the critical moment, and demonstrated the result by a series of moves which would have been inevitable had he taken the knight "Was I not right, Mr. Aiidcrsscn ?" "Precisely," ejaculated the bewildered gentleman, thinking possibly that the Prince of Darkness was not without a share in the composition of the young stranger. A Splendid Donation.?The Southern Presbyterian says: The Hon. Judge Perkins, of the Oaks, Miss., lias just given to the Theological Seminary, at Columbia, the handsome sum of fifty thousand dollars. Thirty thousand dollars will be realized in cash on the first of January next, and twenty thousand dollars on the first of January, 1803. The J udge has appropriated thirty thousand dollars to the establishment ofa new Chair in the Seminary, that of Natural Science in connection with Revealed Religion.

Some of tlic Habit* Conducive to Female Beauty. ; A female writer of some experience gives the following sensible advice to females: i' "One of.tue very best means for the development of female health and beauty is exercise ; but its real importance is generally either unknown, or but lightly considered.

Exercise, however, to produce its beneficial effects, must be taken in the open air. Not all the occupations pertaining to domestic duties, can impart that kind of action to the various jjortions of the human body by which health* and beauty are essentially improved. One of the very best species of exercise to which a lady can have recourse is, walk ing. it w the one which most equally aim 01fcetually calls into action every part?not only exerciaing every limb, but every muscle; assorting aift promoting the circulation of the blood throughput the whole body, and taking off from every organ that undue pressure and restraint to which all arc'subjcctcd by a scdentaI ry position, when long Continued.

At an annual dinner at Boston,oil the 24th tilt., in honor of the memory of J faniel Webster, a stiring speech was made by lion. Kufiis Ohoate. We quote the following passage : "We have buried him iq our hearts. That is enough to say. Our estimation of him is part of our creed. We have no argument to make or hear upon it. We enter into no dispute nliout him. We permit no longer any man to ques tion us as to what lie was; what he had done; how much we loved him* how much the country loved him; and how well he deserved it. We admire, we love,"and we are still. Hut this is enough for us to say ? "Is it not enough that we just stand silcnton the deck of the bark fast living from the shore, and turn and see how, as the line?of coast disappears, and the headlands and hills and all the lands go down, and the Islands are swallowed, up, there the great mountain stands in its strength and majesty, supreme and still! to sec how it swells away up from the subject and fading vale ?to see that though clouds and tempests, and the noise of wave, and the yelping of curs may be at its feet, eternal sunshine has settled upon its head f (Jontinniihor in this strain for a longtime. Mr. Choatc closed as follows: "I have read that in some-hard battle, when the tide was miming against him, and his ranks were breaking, some one in the agony of a need of generalship, exclaimed 0, for an hour of Dundee! So say I, 0, for an hour of Webster now! Oh! for one more roll of that thunder inimitable! One more peal of that clarion. One more grave and bold counsel of moderation! One more .throb of American feeling! One more farewell address! And then might lie ascend unhindered to the bosom of his Father and his God."

The extravagance of northern fashionables is nothing to compare with tjwt of our southern heiresses, who make ofthcahselves walking dry goods advertisements, and-of their necks and iiosoms show windows for tlfc citv jewelers. A* another firing : the northern ladies take??iire of their dresses and do not wear them on nftocensioiis, nor allow them to trail or soil, like jue silks of our heedless southerners.

The hejrt-'of the philanthropist aches to think ofthe wasted wealth, that might have been made the instrument of so much soeial and moral good, and suffering souls, goaded into rebellion by wantifook forth from their hovels at the proud psnop of wealth, and quc .-^on bitterly thcjnsticeiiW mcrey of God."

Hut this does not make void the assertion, that it is every woman's duty to render herself, as far as possible, an object of love and admiration. She may do this without carrying self-adornment into a sinful extreme. This is only a social duty, and though demanding observance, should be made secondary to moral duties of higher and holier importance. A Farmer's Liiikarv.?Dr. Johnson being once asked whom lie deemed the most miserable, replied : "The man who cannot entertain himself with a book on a rainy day." Were the question put, What farmers are likely to make the. most rapid progress and improvement in husbandry? The answer would be, other things being equal, those who read most on the subject of their vocation. A man who reads little, no matter what his vocation is, will be likely to think little, and act chiefly with reference to tradition received from former generations, or else in imitation of what is going on about him. There is always hope of a man w ln> loves roaMiug, sttnlv and rcllecuoii.? Not. all who luiy books liberally, and patronize the press generously, arc readers. There is a class of fancy book buyers, who purchase freely and expensively, but who read little and profit nothing from the stores of knowledge treasured up in their libraries. Fine collections of books nicely arranged on shelves may beget desires of covctousiiess, but can impart little or nothing, only as they are read, studied, and referred to. Every farmer, whether rich or poor, learned or unlearned, should have a collection of hooks on agriculture, horticulture, and the several subjects more or less intimately connected with the objects of his special pursuit. A few good books, costing hut little, should form the beginning of the fanner's library. IIow tiik Pit ess is Afflicted nv I>eadIIbads.?Uailroads occasionally complain of dead-heading hut no institution suffers so much from it as the Press.

There is no interest under thg whole heavens that is expected to give so much to society without pay or thanks,as the Press. Xot T>.\i?,?A Ifory is told of a doctor in th<v goodly town of It , not a hundred miles from Vermont. The doctor kept missing his wood, and net watch. As was expected, it proved to be the work of a near neighbor, who soon appeared and carefully culling out all dry wood, started otf with an armful. The doctor hastily gathered tip an armful of green wood, and followed, tugging as fast as lie could, and jnsr as the man threw down his armful, -the doctor did lie same, exclaiming : "There, you must bum green wood a part of the time?1 have to,'' and departed leavingthe thief to hi.* own reflections, Tlte .tfot?-L;tbor|#:g <-!????

This disposition has caused every honorable profession which brings lai^e profits with comparatively little labor, to be crowded to overflowing. Business which would atford a competence to a few, being thus divided out among a multitude, fraud and peculation become necessary to' render a living possible. This is th& real secret of that low standard of morality existing among public men. Many have enteredupon their professions, not because they thought it adapted to their talent*, but because they wanted to do something whieh would bring pay without labor. Unfitted for a contest with those whom they met in the same field, thev became slow laggards, felting far behind, or if they succeeded, did so rather by loir cunning, than by open strength. Hence; deception, hunibtiggcry and every species of ftkehood ingeniotw enough to escape detection, were adopted and practised as legitimate means of accomplishing their purposes. If we consider all exertion as labor, these are not strictly non-laboring men; for they often give themselves wdre trouble to avoid labor than labor would be itself. But they are non-laboring from the consideration that all their exertions do not advance, m the least, the well being of society or the general interest of manKiid. But a far more contemptible class than either of these, is composed of those who have health, strength, physical and intellectual ability to work, yet spend their days in base droneage. They may be found all through our land, in ever)* town, village or hamlet, making not the slightest pretension to any occupation.
