Such is the division of modern uncle. The simple quesiion plainly put to the i:it?iinr retailer ?s.

A large class of good#, in common use throughout the South, nre of N??r?l?erti manufacture whose depot* nre located in New York, 113 for example : clothing, hoots and rime?, lints, tind till! 'Iionsand-and-oue small conveniences ol every duy life. Large amounts of cnpiial are there devoted to their niuiiufaciUi'e, and so long as the interior reta ler at the South will sell ivuch goods, there will exist establishment!* in Charleston for their supply. Charleston merchants tire like merchants every where, they will keep what people will buy and it is perfectly, utterly idle to expect any different condition. The pertinent suggestion lo all is, shall u leading market he liuill up in Charleston! Shall our jobbers double their business and manifold their numbers? When they do, importing bouses, agents of foreign and domestic c nntilactures, will be established here, and hooded warehouses will rise on liast Kay. Foreign manufacturers 'have no intrinsic interest in New York. They "will establish a branch ol their houses in Charleston whenever the market will warrant. Trade :is sensitive?it gravitates, and always will.? Markets create merchants, but merchants do not create markets. The question, then, simply recurs upon?how -shall our jobbing-houses be sustained and strengthened! Manifestly only by interior mar chants seeking u market here. Thin cannot 'be done in a Jay or a season: hut the com mencemeut may be made at any time. The ex tern of country, naturally seeking & supply mur!ket here, is large enough and rich enough to create all (fie trade that Charleston can conduct. .Should this trade concentrate here?should our ^'jobbers find their stocks readily exhausted? the manufacturers will directly establish ngen uiex here, und we shall jxisaess an original marikot limited only liy the amount and exient of lis custom. Our harbor is ample, and all original facilities provided liberally by nature ? CJiarlenion Mercury.

We see that Mr. Milfts, from this Slate, has proposed a temporary organization, for the purpose of passing the appropriations, and then to dissolve the House, and tluii let the people'ut the hallol box decide what faction ill I..? 1 :t.l- r. organization. It. in true tliiu the House had just as well lie dissolved as to bo just as il in now. Ii now stands hh the bulwark against, the legitimate progress of government, 'I'he machinery cannot be moved until there in nn organization. But would a dissolution and a ut;w election meml the matter? I'he Bluck Republican 6trengt.lt would not lie altered ill the new i Il'-use. If there wan a difference it would perhaps be an addition to its strength. So that the new Congress woul * find itself surrounded with the same dillicuh.. ilmt now embarrass it. This measure of Mr. Milks would have the effect of testing at the ballot box the union sympathy at the North, which hits been manifested l?y resolutions emiuating from union meetings held in several of the large cities of that section. For our own part we have never eoen anything in these convocations of Union-savers which has indicated a returning sense of justice, or any changc of the benighted policy of that section to the conservative and fraternal spirit of the earlier days of the Republic. Union meetings in fuvor of the Union I Why what faction of the North is not in favor of it. They all "with one accord sing the praises of the Union." The entire Black Republican party, whose principles and avowed policy are so inimical to the Southern mode of think iug, is out and out in favor of the Union. Not a man of them would have a dissolution. They want the Union. but tllPV would have it linou tlioir nron IArvtia und not upon the terms of the Constitution as construed ami understood nl I lie South. They would repudiate the idea ilint theirs is n party seeking to override the Constitution. Yes, they stand up before the country and proclaim that their policy if the embodiment of the principle* of tlie Constitution, and that the South has no right to complain of it. It id therefore vain nud fruitless to regnid such manifestations as evincing n conservative spirit, which has taken hold of the Northern mind, and wrought a revolution of its aggressive policy. ADDITIONAL PROM THE PACIFIC. St. Louis. Jan. 4. The Ove'laud California mails brings the following additional advices: The Han Francisco woolen factory commenced operations on the 12th lilt. Scveuiy-five ope rators were to be employed. The candidate* for United States Senator were Gov. VVeller, B. F. Washington, S. K. Judge, J \V. Denver, and James A.

The Territorial Enterprise, of the 10th nil., 8:13** that the Califorr.ia Mining Company. of Virginia, after six weeks' drifting, hud struck the main silver lead, fifty feet below the suiface. The ore discovered promises to rival in richness that from the original Comstork lead.? The mining clnims, in consequence, had advanced 300 per cent. Two Russian corvetts had arrived at San Francisco from the Amoor river, with dates to October 22<1. Mr. Collins had ai rived down the Amoor, with a lot of camels, for shipment to Saii Francisco. It is supposed that that the Russian corvetts were to make a nuvey of the harbor of San Francisco, and from thence go to Cronstndt via New York. The shipment of gold fr%>m Victoria during the anonthsof September, October and Novoinher, amounted to f IftO.OuO. The value of the Sherrebnck clditn, confirmed by Judge Hoffman, is $980,GOO. Advices fiom the Sandwich Islands to November 17th, one week later, had been received at San Francisco. Thirty whalers had arrived during the week. The rates of freight* were low, and A large number of homeward bound whalers being in port seeking cargoes, prevented merchantmen from filling up with the usual rapidity. The ships Sylvia. Black Sen, Itaduga, and A. F. Willets were slowly taking in cargoes for At lantic ports.

On Friday last thirty-six person* arrived in Ciitciiinaii, having been ordered to leave Madison county, Kentucky, on uccount of their abolition feelings.

Mr. Kditor:?The Curd published in your last isauo over tins signature Ot Moeir?. J. <fc N. Knox requires explanation and correction, y These gentlemen assure me that they hint no intention to misrepresent the interview I ti had with litem, and to which reference is made '' in their communication. It is for uie, however, ? to make the necessary correction. J In the first place I am represented as "Chair- ?i man or member or the Vigilance Committee." h I am ueither; and in the interview which I [! had with the Messrs. Knox I so informed them, s! and was particular in explaining my connrc- J! tiou with the Committee. Again: I am rcpre- * sen ted as instructing the Messrs. Knox that ? "they had no right to sell spirits in any quan- e tity, to any man, if the order for the same was >' brought by a negro?even by the elave of the ' indi vitlual who signed the order." I gave n? j. such instructions. t I desire to make a statement of facta on be- '' half of the Vigilance Committee. Some two months ago a number of the wor- |, thy and respectable citizens of this Village re- ii solved themselves into a committee to be ^ known as the "Abbeville Vigilaneo Committee." t The object of this Com mittee wns twofold: c 1st. To prevent improper meddling with our ^ slaves by suspicious persona. And, , 2d. To prevent the liquor traffic with them. r. For more than twelve months past drunken- * ncsshas been a common evil with our negroes. ? Scenes of riot and debauch have occurred in j. our streets,and even the sanctity of our churches r have been invaded. These abuses have called 1 loudly for reform. The powers of the Town " Council were invoked, but it was found that ? whilst tliey could punish the offender they t were powerless to reach the source of the 11 evil. ^ Under these circumstances this subject came f before the Vigilance Committee, ami they that t resolved they would arrest the evil. They found on investigation that the negroes procured the ^ liquor on the order of irrcBpousiblu white r men, or it was bought for them by such indi- i viduultf?it was hard to rcacli the individual, and I hey were satisfied that the vender was [' not informed ns to t.li? r?ai<1i? <?f 'K? i traffic. t After a full investigation ond n thorough dis cussion of the subject. the Committee became r satisfied that the only way to stop the abuse s was to cut off the very source of the evil. " I was requested by the Committee to wait on * the Messrs. Knox nnd inform tliem of the great , ubuse which followed their sale of Liquor ut li night nnd under til is order system, nnd to ask 1 them as good citizens of tliiu Village, interested | in its goad order and welfare to comply with | their wishes in the following particulars: 1st. To close down their cellar door at sun '] down nnd not to open it again until suu up of j the next day. 0 2d. To sell spirituous liquor to no negro upon ^ nny man's order. 9 !lll. To Roll tn nn trrocnnnnlKlrt ? -- ...b?|/Vuoivic} WVI IIIIWIJ | white man. I: I gave them ft full particular account of the '! abuses which grew out of this Liquor traffic as '' then carried on. I gave them many instances ? which had come before this Committee. Tliey s assured me that the}' wero ignorant of these 11 abuses, and i am sure they wero. I paid to them that this request on the pnrt of the Committee did not originate in any desire g to interfere with or control their business ex- r cept in so far as it was necessary for the pro- jj teetion of this comtnun ity and their properly r As good citizcns they immediately complied ?J with these reasonable wishes, and expressed ^ their entire willingness lo lend their aid in anyway to preserve the good order of the commit nity in which they had llieir homes. , They have complied most strictly with their r promise and the result is known by every citi- ^ zen of this village. We have had good order, so- j briety and obedience with our negroes sinco- n The cheerfulness and alacrity with which 1 these your.g men aided the Coin nittee in bring- ' ing about this result assure them that, though j1 "comparative strangers in the community;*' they are not sttangers to iis peace and welfare, c It seems, however, that some of the good peo c pie from the country whose order* havo not ,j been honored, are making complaint, and I am u assured that it was fo' the purpose of answer- r ing this complaint ibat the card was published. Jj Now if these good citizens will reflect a mo- v ment, if they have reason in them they can ^ blame neither the Messrs. Knox uor the Vigilance Committee. The Vigilnnce Committee had either to see their negroes ruined before their eyes, or they ; had to stop the ruinous trafliek. The traffick 8 could only be stopped by putting a stop to the ' order system, and this could only be doueby a j rule without exception. j To you in the country It is a small matter to rid- a few miles to purchase in person the Liquor j-ou wish. To the citizen* of this Vil- ^ Inge it in a matter of vital importance to have ti their negroes sober and obedient * 1 JAS. M. PERRIN. J - ??? ?? ? The Spanish and Moorish War.m The third corps of the Spanish army ht\s landed at Ceuta, no f teat Marshall O'Donnell has now received all . his reinforcements, and may be expected specdily to commence offensive operations. The (] quarter towards which those operations will be j first directed is perhaps indioated by the 'fact ( that Getierl Prim, as a telegram from Madrid informs us, has been attacked on the road from j Ceuta to Tetuan by the Moors, whom he re- r pulsed with "great loss," while the Spaniards j had only forty men killed and wounded, The , "great" or "immense" losses which the Moors <; arc almost dnily sustaining according to the 0 Spanish bulletins, do not seem to diminish the ? vigor of their resistence. "Probably Moorish ] official reports, if such ,'doouaients exist, ro- 0 present the relative losses of the Moors and p Spanish in a very different light from that Id t which they are portrayed by the spanfsh gen- < erals, whose accounts, nevertheless. It must be f admitted, seem moderate and tame when they are compared with the naratlves ftrintedbfor popular circulation in Spain.' A sample of these I naratives, which Slay whole _ hectatombs of J Moors, is afforded by a. fly sheet, 'published at r Algesiras, for the purpose of giving an account of the action on the 8(hh^ ultimo, which I ays that on that day while tb?Spaniards I l.?t forty killed, with one hundred wounded, i the Moors were ' completely destroyed."
