DIRECT TRADE IN CHARLESTON.
TTbe rcinarfcmf ohv cotempontriea, ns a whole,
have b"fn very complimentary lo the card
lately isstted by the Charleston jobbing merchants.
A ?ouiid patriotism Hnd diHctimmnting

met owr eye. An earnest desire seenis to he sinfiwdy
entertained to suWuiii tbo merchants of
Chdrlmton ill their endeavors to |date our
Queen City in her pro|>er station ?s a tending
seaport u[ the World. But we detect, in some,
\ indications of nn ideu iliut no direct import*.
. A tiona nre made in Charleston, and that better
farina can bo obtained of jobbers in New York.
To combat lb in error, and in wine degree to convey
more uccura'.e information, we propose
few worda.
At the outset let us premise/that to no great
?xteut do jobbers, in any market, imjiort the
good*they sell. And the retailor who buys his

of the importer, grossly ttaceiws himself. Importing
is u businexs of itself, which completely
ibaorliM (lie Cxpilnl < rtlmnrily commanded by
mercantile firms. Tlu< ini|i?rter sells by tli?*
*:ase to the jobber, and lite jobber, by llie pi.-ce
or picci'J, to the retailer, who sells to the con*umer
by the pattern or quantity deHirrd.?
Such is the division of modern uncle. The simple
quesiion plainly put to the i:it?iinr retailer
?s. Will you sustain t!ie Cliaih'Sion jobber or
vill you sustain the New York jobber, who are
?e<|ii;il competitors for your custom!

The manufacturer, no mailer what bin
mny lie, sends them to New York for a
tnarkel, through n local agent in that city, anil
lie will send lliem to Charleston in the mime
manner, if a sufficient imirket for good* lie
created here. For the very reason that there
are no manufacturer's agents in Charleston, our
jobbers import more often than the New York
jobbers, who can obtain any desired article, by
sending a few streets or block*? Here ure no

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 ?

Tlie lust iiuiiiIxt of this paper contain'* the
announcement that Mr. Jamk-s A. Hovt will in
future?ax he lias done for tlm |>:?Rt two years?
conduct its Kditoriul affairs. Mr. IIoyt, ns I'Mitor,

of fraternal friendship we wish him abnndunt

FROM WASHINGTON.
We do not perceive any probability of electing
a Sp.-jiker. 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.

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. MclJong
al. but none of them were considered tie preeminently
strong.

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.
A tine jobbing and retail trade wm going
on hi Honolulu, but provision* were low, barely
covering cost and charges.
The arrival* from the Arotic and Kodinc Sens
were eighty in ail this season. The total catch
has been 34.415 barrels; froin Ochoisk 92 ves?els,
with acntch of 54.164 barrels; from the
perm whale grounds 4 vessel* 1,411) barrels.
Oil tlie 12th ult., at San Frnnci-?co, tho
weuther was fine. Business closed dull and price*
heavy. The only new item is a spirited demand
for coal. The two steamships, it is said
were competing for a monopoly of the market
Anthracite and West Heartly coal was selling
at $?2A per ton.
A large number of vessels were due from (lie
Atlantic State* and Europe, and good* will probably
go still lower on their arrival.
The steamship Golden Age arrived at San

county, Kentucky, on uccount of their abolition
feelings. They were the neighbor* and
co*wt<rker* of the Rev. John G. Fee. a Ken

communicated.
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

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

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." Their I

at or netir Ossawatomie. Accompanied by two
inhabitants of West Point. Alo., Mr. Bell
reached the house of a Mr. Taylor, about four
miles from Ossawatotnie, where they put up
for the night. Soon after the hou.se was micron
tided by a band of forty moil, who obliged
Hell and bis friends to surrender; they were
then divested of arms, overcoats, hats, boots.
Sic., which were divided among the crowd and
Lhe negro was brougt forward to confront them
with mockery and laughter. Their horses
were thou taken from the stable, ami after
compelling them to give the negro lifty dollars,
the fugitive was mounted on tho best horse aud
started for Canada. The correspondent says
ae 1ms pretty good reason for believing that
this outrage will be avenged.
