The more we diffuse the business of our country, the more closely will the integral parts of that country be united by CwIYi Bios interests. The more the South relieves itself of business dependence on the North, the less will demagogues be able to embarrass it with political issues; and the sooner the Slave States come into competition with the Free States for the carrying trade of the world's commerce, the more certainly will the irrepressible conflict between the two vslcraa nf In V.....

The v?ft-y idea of enacting discriminating laws against her sister States is repulsive to our feelings; it made bo part of the gmnd design of 1787 * to form a more perfect union ' or to ' promote the genernl welfare.' We will not stop to argue how far the power of Congress to regulate commerce among tlie several States, or the surrendered State rights of laying export duties, and giving preference, by any regulation of commerce or revenue, to the porta of one State over those of another, would be fatal to such State legislation, but we desire to place Southern nolion on high principles of right, which will command the admiration of friends aud coerce the respect of foes." Soctii Carolina.?The attitude of South Cam linn is one which will command the respect of the world. Site has often expressed her views of lu-r own and the duty of her sisters of tlie South. Recent event* have, beyond all doubt, established the correctness of her .lrpiat.na I? the past; Ant) now relying on the effect of the unanswerable argument, of facte, on her more timid and more hopeful co sovereigns of the South, she quietly waits their verdict, always ready for action whenever any one of them shall signify a willingness to adopt the la9t measure of resistance to intolerable oppression. It is to us a most singulur moral phenomenon, that meu of the same race, breeding and in- i stincls, should act so differently, under the enme ! circumstances, in Houth Carolina and in Alabama. The interests of the two States are common interests; their hopes and prospects are the same; and the galling tyranny of fanaticism which grinds the one is oppressing and threatening with destruction the other. Why should this difference exist V Why should Carotins he will- I ing to stand " the hazard of the die," while Alabama, as deeply interested in tlie institution, admitting as freely its danger, holds timidly back, irresolute, uudetermined T [Montgomery (Ala.)

They claim, however, that the}- are increasing in the country at large and in the world, and they ascribe the diminution in Utah to temporary cnusc* and absences It is computed that there are 32,000 in ( rent Rrttaln and Ireland, and 7,000 on the Continent. <it' I?...? _ - " ,.r, i.coMir? iHiiiir n.ixw in tan- i nda, 4,iki0 in California, and several thousandsin ! tin- Eastern Hiatus and South America.

Our Motto--'*Equal llights to All." GREENVILLE, 3. a Thursday Morning, J anuary l2, 1880. Gowensville Seminary. Attention called to the advertisement of the above school, located in the northern part of Greenville District. It will be seen that it continues under the superintendance of Rev. T. J. Kahi-h, who has given so much satisfaction as a t^aclu r dit: 1 ig the past year. The Gowensvjlle School possesses many advantages, and persons who aro entrusted with looking out suitable I schools for children, would do well to give it a careful consideration. The Patriot and Mountaineer. The last number of this journal contains tlio valedictory of Messrs. 8. D. Goodlrit and T. Q. Donaldson, who have been for some time past the Associate Editors of that paper. We regret to part company with such agreeable and clever young gentlemen. Onr intercourse has been of the most pleasant character. But they linve discovered, like many others who have entered upon the business of an editor, that, after all, it is no easy position?that it involves no ordinary care .nnd dilicence to nr?>i>?r? moit? f?? - ? - r -. ? " I'"" per, and bring bleat, as they nre, with other leans of support* and other vocations to follow, they have thought proper to rid themselves of a task which is not at nil tiinesa plensnnt one. We tender to them, in their retirement, our sineerest wishes for their future prosperity, and as we continue to follow the "rough and rugged " path of newspaper life, we shall be consoled by the happy reflection of what we " might have been,'* had we never been an editor. Mr. O. E. Elford will continue to conduct the Patriot and Mountaineer, and with his knowledge of the business, both as pi inter aud editor, we feel assured that it will still prove acceptable to its numerous renders. We wish hiui all sorts of success. Frightftil Accident and Narrow Ksoape. Mr. Ciiahlkh T. Hammond, of this place, was, on Tuesday evening lust, considerably but not dangerously injured, by being throw u from his buggy. A pair of horses, which he was driving, became frightened at something, at the upper end of Main Street, and dashed off down the Street. When opposite the Mansion House, Mr. Hammond was thrown out by a pole lying in the Street, which was driven through the body of the buggy and through the scat upon which he was sitting at the time. In falling, his leg caught in the axle, iu which condition he was drugged a distance of sixty or seventy yards, when the horses became detached from the buggy by the striking of a wheel against a hitching post, at Mr. P. S. .t..?. vi.. n * * * r. olv,... u.i. i.AMMUMi was picKea tip in a senseless condition, and removed to the Mansion House, where medical assistance wns immediately procured, and his wounds dressed. It was, indeed, a very narrow escape from death, and the scene is said, hy those who witnessed it, to have been of the most frightful character. A horse, which was hitched to the post at the lime, wns run against by the frightened horses, and thrown a distance of several yards. , , .. , i Election Returns.

It speaks well for the liberality of the people, and the enterprise of the Crafts The Dally Sonlh Carolinian, which has always been one of our most punctual exchanges, has recently appeared ih An entire new suit, and makes a handsome appearance, It lifts been for several years pnet conducted strictly on the cash principle, which in ft measure Accounts for its prosperity. It is the only *afe principle upon which a newspaper can be carried on. The Camden Journal, according to promise, has appeared in an enlarged form, and considerably improved in appearance. Co!. X 3. Warken, who Ims been, We believe, for the past ten years, its editor, has lost none of his original vig or, but pnrsucs with wonted zeal the duties of a public journalist-. He is indefntigably a South em and State's Rights man, and has done much, its a writer, to sustain the principles of a party which, ere long, must he the only party in the 4nuth. Col.

We nre glad lie liat announced himself, so that bis readers may know to whoqa honor is due in.that department. .The manner in which lie has presided over the columns of the Gazette heretofore, ia evidence that in him the editorial corps of the State have an acceasion of one worthy to wear the robe. We wish him continued prosperity, with none of the ills to which editors are heir. Won-Intercourse?Our duty. A great deal has recently been said, both by newspaper# and ibe people, about discontinuing trade with the North, aud the building tip of Southern commercial lowna Whilst something has been done, if we may he allowed to believe the stopping of a few manufactories and tbe diamiaeal of a great ninny clerks from the wholesale houses at the North an indication of the fact, we are nevertheless convinced that cnorve ! <? been tuade to tal^kd vantage of the preacnt prej. udiced state of the public mind, by directing trade to houses in southern cities, who instead of importing and manufacturing their goods, purchase every article they have on their shelves direct from Northern houses aud manufacturers.? We should like to see the importing houses of Charleston, lUchmond, New Orleans and other Southern cities patronized. It is the duty of Southern merchants to do so, and we believe that they will. But Southern merchants are not blind to the fact that the very houses who are saying most shout non-intercourse are tbe very ones that are carrying out the principle the least Look at the recent card by the merchants of Charleston. One half may import their goods direct from Europe, but a glance at the list will convince the merchant that nearly every one of the Clcthing houses, Shoe houses. Hat houses, and some other branches of the trade, procure every article they have from the North. Now, we would ask, in all candor, if it is any worse for a country merchant to buy his goods in New York than to buy $om a man in Charleston who procures his goods from a Northern market ?? The difference, we think, is in favor of a direct purchaae. How frequently does it happen that the conntry merchant and ths Southern whole sale merchant are buying their goods at lite same counter in New York, and so it wiii continue to he the case until Southern wholesale houses will foster and encourage llieir wwn or European manufactures f Let us have more Southern manufactories. Whenever our capitalists direct their attention to manufacturing instead of sending off to the North for everything vo wear and everything to eat, we will find, jnst in proportion as capital is invested, the people of the South growing independent of the North.? Whenever the Southern people learn to support their own mechanics and manufacturers they can then talk of Southern independence, and of their pride and patriotism, and not until then. There are hundreds and thousands of young man in the South who could be profitably if there were openings for their labor. Establish boot, shoo and hat manufactories?ereet machine shops, and other branches of industrial pursuits, and we will hear of no more young men leaving the South for the West because they could find no work to do. It become* I lie people of tbe South to encourage every effort to build up Southern men and Southern trade. Don't quit trading with the North only to hire some one elee to do it for you. We are not willing that Southern men should conduct their business in thateort of way. But go to work at once?in the right direction. I'ut up a shoe manufactory, and i?t us have the article made at home. The shoes will be bought. Hate mad? at the South will be worn, Ready mnde clothing can he made in the South, to look ae well and wear as long, na if mnde in New Je.rscy. 11 our people would only wear the neat and auhetantial tahries which can be made hy theinaelvea or their neighbor*, hundreds of looms now idle would be put iuto operation, and thousands of our fair country women might he profitably employed in the manufacture of liomei spune. The old la<lies throughout the country [ would findeale for their socks nnd stockinm which hare heen made to give way for a flimsy Northern artiele, not half so good or half so cheap In fact, whenever the Southern people learn to work for themselves, and patronize themselves, will they become Independent, fur man University.
