The Senate, the Judge* of the three Court* of Ap|>eal*, the Governor and Lieut. Governor of the Stale, the lion. P. V.

Mr. I Speaker CrutclifieM, on In-half of the House of | l??legntes, welcomed the distinguished represent j atlre of South Carolina, who immediately proceeded to atldress llie two honae* in one of it... I kli|r*t s|?eeclies tu which *p hnve ever listened. We not attempt to follow the track of luminous argument with which Mr. Mcmminger demonstrated the existing necessity for a Oonjrrrare of the Southern States. We shall, as soon ns the speech can he written wit, publish it, and lor it we bespeak an attentive perusal. As to the immediate <dd<-ct <?f the ntis*ion and speech, that, of a wnfrrsnes between the Southern States, wo cannot see how or why any man should oppose it We do not believe it will be opposed oy any man who is not willing to full down Ik1 fore the Union with Seward as its chief. Hie people of Virginia have nlivndy expressed, by public meetings, their determination not to submit to the election of n Hluck Republican, and it well becomes I he legislature to accede to this Conference, and enable the Southern States, by an interchange of views, to decide upon the course of action best und proper for their adoption. We, therefore, most, earnestly hope the proposition of South Carolina will l>e speedily acceded to, mud the Commissioners appointed. We believe it will be the best, means of producing a favorable effect upon the exeitcj public mind, of obtaining justice for the South, and of securing the equality mud union of the States.

I maintain that it i? ordained by nature ; that it is a necessity of l>oth races; that in tlie climates where the black race can live and prosper, natu e lie:self enjoins correlative duties on the blsek man?ana the white?which cannot be performed except by the preservation, and, if the hissing gentleman please, by the perpetuation of negro slavery. *" t contend that it is not injustice to leave the negro in tiie condition in which nature placcil him, and for which condition he is adapted.? Fitted only for a state of pupilage, our slave system gives him a master to govern mid supply bis deficiencies; and in this there is no injustice. Neither is it injustice in the master to compel him to labor, and thereby afford to that master a just compensation in return for the care and talent employed in governing him. In this way alone is the negro able to render himself useful to himself and to the society in which he is placed. " These nre the principles, grntletrtrn, which the extreme measures of Abolitionism ?rul i's abettors compel lis to enforce. This is the gronml thnt we must, take, or abandon our cherished | Union. We must no longer favor political leaders who talk about, slavery being an evil ; nor must we advance the doctrine that negro slavery is a tiling which, although pernicious, is to be tolerated merely because ire hnve made a bargain to tolerate It. We must turn away from the teachings of fanaticism. Yielding to the clear decree of nature, and the voice of sound pltiloMophv, we must, pronounce that institution just, beneficent, and lawful."

Letters are pouring Into Washington from all parts of the South conveying the important in formation that the citizens of that.division of the I'nion ore firmly resolved to utterly suspend ! commercial relations and traveling Intercourse w?th the North. Tills is a praiseworthy* determination. There is no article which the South produces that she earinct find as profitable uiul good a market for I in Knrope as she finds in the North. There Is ao article which she consumes thnt she cannot | import directly from Knrope nt lower rates than j she iin|M>rts front the North. The indirect trade i from which the South has been a sufferer for many y?i"s. bus been a load of taxation, which wocid have impoverished any region of the world J less rich in its resources tlinn herself. Inti-rnie* ( dinte agencies have been a Weight Almost too heavy for even herself to carry without landing | under it. Those agencies have made the North I rich and prosperous. The Mouth should have been, from the first, her own exporter und importer. There Is no adage more true, as she will in all probability by actual experiment soon ascertain, than that " by agriculture we live, but by commerce we thrive." if we do pot utterly misinterpret llie signs of the times, this will be the tiijlilrtt year to tin- industrial classes and real estate proprietors thnt j ever the North was subjected to. There may lie | other waitings heard there thnn those fur the Af riean?the wailingi of the misguided inns'es for | remunerative employment. When this ahull oc- | cur, then will the " nether end of politicians be ; speedily rdlneed to the level front which they I ascended. The South, through the ingratitude I of the North, has been made at last to understand its duty. That duty it is beginning to per- j form in the manner which we have Indicated.

The Female Collego?Resignation of President Duncan. We hare refrained from making public ihe fact that, owing to feohle health. Her. II. A. Duxes*. President of the Baptist Female College in this place, had signified his determination to resign the position which he lias ao acceptably tilled in that institution for the past four years. The necessity which impels him to take this step [s a source of great regret to his friends, and to the friends of the College. We trust that a relaxation for A time from labor and care will again restore him to good health, and enable him once more to return to anxious friends. The Board of Trustees, we presume, will take early measures to secure a suitable successor to President IHjxcan. and also to fill the vacancy in the department of Belles Lettres, occasioned by the resignation of Professor M. W. Sams. The prospects for an increased attendance of students are very good, and it is to be hoped that none will be deterred from coming in consequence of the foregoing announcement. An ample corps of instructors will be provided. A Tall Fries for a Negro. At the sale, last week, of the estate of Mr Joab Mavldix, deceased, several negro men were sold, most of whom were cnr|?entera. One of them, Ueorgt, a likely fellow, said to be a good joiner and carpenter, brought the enormous smn of thirty-five hundred dollars! He was purchased by ltov. J. 1'. Botck. We learn that Mr. Bore* was afterwards otfered four thousand dol lars for him! Judging from the preseat prior of negroes, we should say that the " peculiar insti tulion" was far from being unpopular. We isn't wonder that some men are in favor of rescuing the slave trade; and so long as tlrs kind of property is held at the price it now brings, no taw which can be passed will prevent .heir importation. One of the two things, we think, must occur?the price of negroes must rail, or the slave trade will L>e re-opened. The country may take either horn of the dilemma. The Right Spirit. Several of our lady friend* who have br-en itnnually getting u* to order Northern periodical* liave this year concluded not to patronize any Northern Newspaper or Magaziue. One paper has, we learn, h?t about twenty subscriber# at this post office. There is now no necessity for patronizing the Ledger* and Post*. The Field and Fireside, published at Augusta, Georgia, i* a better paj>er every way than the New York ledger, and we hope thut those of our friends who have dropped other papers will send for it. We desire our lady friends especially to read Southern Papers and wear Southern homespuns. We arc willing to announce our politics in advance, and would take pleasure ill stating that we belong to the "homespun party." The platform of that party is broad enough for all of us to stand ii|>on, and, as a distinguished Southern Senator in Congress recently said, " what is good enough to stand upon is good enough to remain upon." Trade in New York. Ti.? ri.-ill- v..< . ..? v.... llow frequently does it happen tlint the country merchant and the Son'hern wholesale merchant nre buying tlieir goods at the same counter in New York. iSueh a care never happen* The country merchant, if he goes to New York to trade, purchase* of a New York jobber, while the Chnrleeton jobber (whom we understand to l>c intended in the term Wholesale merchant) purchases of an importer or manufacturer's agent. The country merchant doe* not tniy of the importer, because he docs not want goods by the case. Furthermore, all trade is conducted on credit. The country merchant's paper in New York would he rejected by an imjmrter, a* not. bankable there. The Charleston johl>< f and the New York jobber do buy at the same counter. Kcly upon it, all such statements, as that of the Kwterpriae, come originally from New York jobbers or their runners. We nre persuaded, from the testimony of many reliable country merchants, that it does happen, but we do not insist that the wholesale dealer confine* himself lo the mime mnnnrr of dealing I lint the count ry merchant does. The one may purchase of the jobl>cr, ami the other of the Importer. TliU may all be true. Our object? which we think I* distinctly stated in the article from which the almve fcur liuea arc taken?was to encourage direct Southern trade?to build up Southern cities?and particularly Charleston"but, at the same time, to elicit from the merchant* and traders in Southern cities their assistance and Co-operation in carrying otit the principles of non-intercourse which they call upon the country merchants to adopt. We wish to see the merchants of the South discontinue llu-ir intercourse with the house of CiiAruxt Mcllxw A Co., which is said to be one of the nntst noted abolition firm* in New York City, and whivh, wt are sorry to seei is extensively patronised by tbe merchants ol Charleston. If the merchants of Charleston wi'l only liack the feeling which now exists in the country in reference to direct, trade, she will receive a very large proportion of the trade which now forms a part of the lifo and soul ol New York. The Florida Key of the Gulf announces that Lieut. Maffiitt, U. H.N., was recently at Key West. Lieut. M. was in possession of Information that Capt.

The following is taken from the census of 1868: The number of acre* cultivated in cotton, was 817,609; enltivat- 1 *d in grain, 970,hs7 ; number of cotton baks ! made, 172,692 ; bushel* of corn, over 16,860,000; < wheat, 1,109,090; oats, 2,036,700. There i* no I State in the Union with more navigable rivers, ' being more than a dozen. There are four or five i railroad* in course of projection.

In the southern and middle por tions of the Stnte, cotton grows as well as in J any portion of the South, while the northern , and northwestern portions grow as fine grain I and fruit ns any country.

The number of white male*, were 131,197 ; the number of white females, ] were 112,913; the number of slaves, were 80,- ' 385 ; which make a total of 324,495, or an in* J crease of over one hundred thousand in ten , years or less.
