True southern commercial and manufacturing in* . dependence, it will be readily admitted, is all most important deaidcratuiu, and an almost' universal ooneurrencd in this theory is manifested vyjienovor it is promulgated, either in 4tbBT?olutions of a Southern cdlnmerci&Vconvenpon or in ptivatointercourse. It is however but too evident that this grent^uth is ' aHowed to rest iu the shade of a more the) orotical popular acquiescence. -While pr^^ ticailywe admit our dependence upon, the superior natural o^vantagdH^t actual enterprise of our Northernand while we ponder upon the U^HPRps which we hope to realize in the sve are allowing the merchants, the shippers, and tlie manufacturers of the Nor^li quietly to avail themselves of the fruits of our folly nnd suppleness and their owu indomitable zeal and perseverance. We ^ire a ware that we are wot offering any thing new, and that in ivhnt we have said or might say on this important topic, we have been more than anticipated by the abler pens which have preceded us ; but our desire and hope is to keep the subject before the people until tbev shall take Affective action in the premises and avail j themselves of the advantages with which nature haaeo plentifully endowed them, nnd I which havc^too long remained unimproved. | With this view we give below the article | first alluded to, and which we most heartily 1 commend to the serious ami practical coiisiu eration of our readers : Tire uUentioii'of the Sotfth has, for years, j h<jet? directed to the necessity of sustaining a : direct commercial' intercourse with foreign I countries, so as to give an independent posi- I tion to the Southern States, in a commercial poiut of view, which they can never have I while New York and Huston arc permitted i ' to be importers for the Southern |>cop!e. The j I South have been heretofore, aud now are,; more immediately a produoingsectiu^Jpf the j ( country, while its nianufitcUuing aud com-j mercial interests have been tacitly confined i | to the North, The coueoqucnce, or course, 1 has been, that moniod capital has sought in- t vestuieuta at the South in planting interests \ while tliat of the North has found a ready j and profitable investment in trade and manufuctures. This must necessarily l>e the condition of a country of extensive scope, em- 1 bracing a great variety of latitudes, soil and i production. Heretofore the South has been ;i content,?practically at least?to permit what y seemed to bi in accordance with natural indications, pjintingout what pursuits be more 1 directly ndipted to the diversified interest of dliferent po-11008 of our common country. i The couditiou of the North and the South < atthepreee.it seems, however, to present f an Any reasons ?liy tlie South should bo vigi- ] . Jant anil erergetio in changing a part of the capital fro'ji >. planting to a conimercinl cbau- I nd. Why u-e two great national empori- i urns of commerce at the North should now t be permitted to tax the South for almost j every article of foreign prod net ion consumed 1 in the South, as well *ts for much of our ex^ ports, cannot be well reconciled to the independent attitude which the Southern States ought to sustain in relation to all the world. | [ That New Vork and Boston should bo al- j 1 lowed longer to maintain their ascendancy j t over the interest of the South, cannot hut I be a matter of profound regret to every true ! Southern heart. Our Southern commercial 1 conventions have resulted in nothing yet.! ^ Have we no Soutlieru ports adequate to the j building up of a commercial niuiine, which , will phice the South in a position itulepondeut.of Northern capital and Northern tax- s atioa I Of course the away which New ( York now exercise* over Uic trading transac- j tiona of tlie country would be materially nf- t fected by the establishment of an independent and direct communication between the Southern States and Europe^ hut the South 1 would he greatly benefited. First, our seaports would be built up?au additional amount of capital invested in commerce with foreign countries, and the profits arising from both exportation and importation would be an addition to Southern and not Northern capital. lu the second place, our commerce; I would then be released from the control and i taxation of abolition cities, whose increasing' t prosperity, wealth and power, we must all J . feel, are but so many engines of mischief to ! '' be turned against the South. The city of New ?ork; already wielding the great ron ' n trolling power, the moneia y and commer-i'3 cial transactions of the country, feeling her! strength, arising from wealth and numbers,1 , is gradually assuming a supercilious and an j insolent tone towards those who have con- j 1 tributed ld her prosperity and power. 1 Pursuing, then, this line of policy, our Southern seaports, Baltimore. Charleston, j j Mobile and Galveston, would, in a very few j years, enjoy a degree of commercial prospcrperity such as is now enjoyed by New York, Beaton and Philadelphia. We are but the 1 "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for c a people antagonist, in almost every.point of t view, to our vrtal interests. If this thraldom r was shaken off, and commercial, agricultural , And manufacturing independence asserted And maintained, no section would riso so quickly to the goal <.f prosperity as that in which we reside.

[ liy democracy wo understand that it is a l vernnient in which the supreme power i d authority is vested and recognized in e people, who it is believed are alone ca- i ble of governing to the interests of a free-! op!e. To if may then be attributed the j jinouccto which'the Uuited States as a, tion has attained, and to it alono is attrib-'l *1 that success which has placed it. pre-] linently above all other countries in great- j vs aud power. The beauty of this.system; governing is, that patriotism is the prin- < ] ile, and the wellfare of each citizen, no* | itter how obscure, is the nriinarv consiil- i , r j itiun and the greatest importance.

Our citizens were startled by an nlarm of fire on Saturday evening, when it was found that ? kitchen belonging to Mr. J. G. Foriich, in tlio upper part of Columbia, had caught from sparks from the chimney, and the building was speedily consumed. On Sun (lay evening following, the iron voice of the alarm bell again summoned the people ?dispersed the congregations?when a dark red glare illnntlnihg tlie sky showed at once , the lo&tion of the fire?at the Gas Works. One building containing boilers and other apparatus for mannfacturing gnA, was partially burnt. The flames then entered to a wooden shed, adjoining, a portion of which was consumed. Owing to the active exertions of the firemen and citizens, the fire spread no farther. It is said that some "rich" incidents occured in the Churches?the con-^ gregations being left in total darkness in con-1 , sequeuco of tlie gas being shut olf. A Columbia correspondent of the "Charleston Courier" calls attention to the fact, that the Trustees of the South Carolina College have neglected to make provisions for the students of that institution to hear the eourec of Lectures that the Legislature, nt the last session, appointed Dr. Baciiman to deliver. The College Chappel, .concerning which I w> niuch has already been said and written, | is being completed rapidly, and will wc un-j derstand be ready in time for the Commence- i ment Exercises in December next.

Graves, of this city, is the Architect. The progress of the Ch?j>el building has been delayed from time to time by cruise* beyond the builders (Trot A: Wadb.) control, but now is going on to completion rapidly. We notice in one, or two up-country papers, rather severe strictures on the proceedings in the Richland Election just ended.?? Although practises of'n corrupt and immoral nature have doubtless occurred recently, yet all things being considered, Old Richland is not as perverted as many suppose.? It must bo recollected that the recent Senatorial Election was more exciting by far than the famous one in tho days of Secession and Co-operation. Roth the candidates were wealthy, powerful, inen. Neither had ever been beaten in a political race, and the friends of each were sanguine of success. If then in the heat of an intensely exciting cornpaign, acts of an improper naturo should have been committed by friends and partizans of either c;indidate, the good name of the district should not be injured thereby.? We are no apologists for wrong, but are not willing for the acts of one man or another to be the cause of centuring hundreds of upright and intelligent citizens.

On our way we sawMr. Aaca at his singular Saw and OristMilla, Mrfli in the stream of South Tyger River.

A man by the name of GosnklL;, stands indicted for murdering hia father-inlaw. Mr. Horn. lie will be tried on Wednesday. Being very poor, ho was nnable to employ counsel, and his Honor Judge Glover, assigned the defense to my young friends Mr. Edwards and Mr. Gist.? They are both talentod young men, and will, no doubt, acquit themselves handsomely. Mr. Edwards was admitted to the Bar last spring, and this will be his first effort This case, from what I can loam, is of an aggrarnted character. Gos.vgll was under the intluenco of spirits, when he used his pocket knifo, with a murderous intent upon 1 the deceased. Horn was a peaceful qniet | man, and did not provoke au attack upon himself. This is another fearful commentary upon the intemperate use of ardent spirits, and it is to be hoped will give a warning and ? lesson to those who indulge too freely in itR use. I will venture to say that at least nine- i tenths of the Sessions lousiness originates from intemperance.
