C.) in some eloquent remarks returned his thanks for the terms of respect and kindness, in whieh North Carolina had been so frequently alluded to by the members of the Convention. Mr. J. B. McCall, in some brief remarks, advocated the adoption of the report of the majority. Mfc Gregg, the Chairman of the Committee of Twenty-one, closed the debate, by reviewing and replying to the various arguments that had been urged aguiust the report of the Committee. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Convention having re assembled, the resolutions and address of the Committee of TVreety-one were taken np, when Hon. J. L. Orr moved the resolution reported by the minority as a substitute, as follows: ResoUmd, That feeling entire confidence in the Constitutional organs of our State Government, and the wisdom and fidelity of the Convention elected under the act passed at the last session of the Legislature, we are perfectly willing to leave to them the mode and measure ol redress for the wrongs we have suffered from the Federal Government, as well as the time ol its application: and, without indicating or sug gosling the,course it behooves ttieni to pursue we hereby pledge ourselves to abide by theii action, windier the samo shall bo for secession L _ fron the Union, with or without the co-operation of the other Southern States. The motion was rejected by a very large majority. The resolutions of the majority were then taken up and were voted on separately as follows : 1. Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting the State of South Carolina cannot ( submit to the wrongs and aggressions which have been perpetrated by the Federal Govern- ' ment and the Northern States, without dishon- 1 or and ruin; and that it is necessary to relieve ' herself therefrom, whether with or without the < co-operation of other Southern Suites. 1 To this resolution there were five dissenting voices. 2. Resolred, That concert of action with one or more of our sister Suites of the South, . whether through the supposed Southern Congress, or in any other manner, is an object worth many sacrifices, but not the sacrifice involved in submission. r' Adopted unanimously. ! 3: Rcsolretl, That we hold the right of Se- I cession to be essential to the sovereignty and I freedom of the States of this Confederacy, and | Uiat the denial of that right would furnish to nil injured State the strongest additional cause for its exercise. Adopted unanimously. i 4. Resolved, That this meeting looks with confidence and hope to the Convention of the People, to exert the sovereign power of the State in defence of its rights; at the earliest practicable period and in the most effectual manner; and to the Legislature, to adopt the most speedy and effectual moasures towards the same end. To this resolution there were six dissenting voices. The question was then taken on the adoption of the Address, and it was adopted with but one dissenting voice. The Early Cottxm Culture.?The Greenville (S. C.) Patriot of late date, relates the followiug interesting facts. "Many years ago, tin? senior-editor of this paper was informed by his venerable and hereditarj friend, Samuel Mevcrick, Esq. ol'Pendle ton, that when n hoy, as clerk in the house of his uncle, Mr. Win. Tnrbin, of Charleston, he assisted in packing the first bag of Cotton ever sent to Liverpool from the United States. Mr. Maverick is still living; and we now export some two millions of bags of Cotton every year. The Cotton packed by Mr. Maverick was put up in the seed. This was long before Whitney's invention of the Cotton Gin. The consignees of this lone bag of Cotton informed the house of Wadsworth & Turbin, that he could not sell it, that it was valueless, and advised them to send no more. How little this faithful factor saw into futurity! ''If any one had said to him that in less than 7ft vears. and durinsr the lifetime of the boy / f w who had packed tliat very halo of cotton, millions and millions of bags w?olri be annually sent across the Atlantic for sale in England and France, lie would have pronounced him n inndrnan or a fool. Hut it has been done, and Cotton has become the great means by which civilization is to spread over the earth. The cheapness of Cotton fabrics has taught the savage to clothe himself and exercise industry, in obtaining the means of purchasing this comfort and evidence of civilization. Millions of hnman beings are employed in the cultivation of Cotton?hundreds of thousands in its manufacture?and the whole world are clothed in it This, too, happened in the life-time of a man still living!" Decline in Cotton.?The writer of the money column of the New Express says: "The intelligence by the Niagara of a further decline in the cotton market will not be favorably construed for the stock market, as it will cause a scarcity of hills of exchange, and further shipments of specie may ho looked for. We cannot bat otherwise think that cotton will recede much in price. There is every indication of it from the appearances of tlio Now < Orleans and New York markets." , ~ " ?* * If ITU /"II I 1 ' A Sl/ver iHllW-in r Ir?i/U7.? 1 ne v/iiarivimiwii I (Va.) Spirit of Jefferson says that there is evo- , rv reason to believe that a Silver Mine bnsbeen discovered on the farm of Messrs. James and Dennis McSherry, of that county, situated on the East bank of the Shenandoah river, and at ' the base of the Blue Ridge mountain. ' The none was discovered some months since, ] and a small specimen obtained and sent to the ' Philadelphia Mint to be assayed. The Super- I intendent of the Mint has returned the same, i made into a ten cent piece, and pronounces the i ore as exceedingly rich. The ledge of rocks | in which the ore is impregnated is of immense ] size. Every three pounds of rock, it is estimated, will yield one dollar ill silver. Arrangements have been made tor at once mining. The Sechet of Success.?What is it? In | this county, among people who are equally protected and encouraged, it lies in the steady ' pursuit of intelligence, industry, temperance and frugality. So far as outward comfort nnd competence constitute wealth, there is but a fraction of society who may not possess it, if each it l..? i 'i_!_ i?j i ?u? Will UIU luril (lib II1IIIU ttiiu inuin ill cue viruiiiiirii for which his instinct and capacity most fit to him. If the great fortunes which so dazzle the misjudging poor be analyzed, they will be found in every ninety-nine of the hundred cases to have sprung and matured from calm, patient and " simple toil?toil which had an endurance and faith behind, and an object and hope before it. So too, with success in whatever man seeks to accomplish. A clown may stumble upon a splendid discovery jn art or science; but a fixed general law provides that higher achievement shall require profound and ceaseless labor. ; The price of success, except in isolated cases, is the devotions of one's life. He is a fool who r trusts to any dream for possession or advancei mcnt unless he connects with it the prudent [ exercise of his own energy and jud. mont? .

J. WARREN, Editor. TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 13, 1861. I i TO ADEVRTISERS. !

Our Cotton Market. ( Cotton lias fallen since the news by the Europa, , ind we quote to-day, from 6 to 9$ cents. Charleston, May 10, 1851. "The Cotton market is quiet since receipt of 1 'EuropaV accounts reporting a decline off to 1 J penny in Liverpool?and only alimitpd business las been done to-day, at 7 to 10\, and for inferior :o strict fair?showing a decline of $ to and from prices current prior to receipt of accounts. 1 South Carolina. . ?> I The position of this State is one of absorbing merest, and there is no man who has the feelings I >f a Patriot, or a spark of genuine liberty on the iltarofhis heart, but must feel that we have in- i leed fallen on evil days. And that the duty of I ivery friend ofhuman rights, is to do his part towards a vindication of our dearest rights and in- ' erests. All eyes are fixed intently upon South | Carolina, and if her sons do not resist at all hazards and to the last extremity?if they are une- j jual to the crisis at hand, all is lost, hopelessly, ind we fear forever lost We confidently believe | - n At n 15 _ 1 a- i __ l-? 1. 1 1 i nai oouin wroiuia is equai io ner nigu uenemn ? i hat her leaders will not shrink the responsibility, ' nit will act promptly, and decisively. The Convention which has just closed its ses- 1 lion in Charleston, is a fair indication of the sen- 1 imcnts of the people throughout the State, and ( hat there is good and sufficient cause for believ- ( ng that the State will act, in our opinion, is abun- ( lantly sustained, by what that Convention has , lone. Some one of the Southern States mu6t ake the lead, and our State has waited with some 1 la tie nee at least, with as much as we ought, and i t behooves South Carolina, to make this imporant move. Our next Legislature, we think, will convene 1 he State Convention, and we hope that Conven- ! ion will declare South Carolina an Independent 1 State. It is true, that some of our leading politi- 1 :ians, in wltose judgment we would willingly com ' ide in almost any matter of State policy, but in his, are opposed to immediate and separate sesession. But there is no cause of alarm in this. ' \fter all, there is no serious difference in the 1 >pinions ot the southern Kiglits 1'arty through* ' >ut tlie State. This was a very remarkable tea- 1 ure in that large and enthusiastic laxly ot* men arho wore recently engaged in the discussion of this [uestiou in all rts points and bearings. AH'wrre ' inaniniously agreed as to the nature and extent < >four grievances; as to the right and mode of re- i lress?ALL AGItEE THAT WE MUST RESIST. The >nly question was to time. We presume that the ( separate State action party, do not contemplate ( lie secession of the State under a year, or at iea.it, 1 majority are in ftvor of the Convention fixing lie time. This will afford the resistance parties n other States, time to rally on our right and left South Carolina is obliged to make the issue. If die does not, the probability is very strong that ihc issue will never be made, in the wajr that will result in any good to the South. Those excellent gentlemen opposed to separate action who argued this question before the Convention last week, were unanimous, in their opinions, that resistance ought to be made. And whilst they feel the weight and responsibility of their positions, they did not advise separate secession, as they were afraid it involved issues, of which the State would be iucoinruitont In mPAt. Yet. nnr p\rnllent Senator But lerand ?'ol. A. P. Hayue, and other distinguished men, pledged themselves to abide the decision af the State, and to sustain South Carolina under all circumstances, through weal or woe. These gallant old Carolinians have battled too long under the banner of resistance, to give up the ship now; that their services are needed. We hope in due time that all these conflicting opinions may be reconciled, for they are by no means, so great as to be insuperable difficulties in the way of the action of the State, and as ad fair and honorable majorities are entitled to govern, we earnestly hope, that those in the minority, will yield a ready acquiescence, and join with heart and hand, in the general issue of resistance. If they do not, wo must go along without them. We like the spirit of the Resclution offered at the close of the Convention, by the Hon. Wm. II. Gist, which we liere append, with the concluding Resolutions and business of the Convention. Resolved, That this meeting is not disposed to separate from thoso who express a willingness to abide the fate of the State; that we cordially accept their pledge to sustain the action of the Constitutional Convention, and that, we liuve an abiding conlidcnco that South Carolina will present an undivided front to her enemies. The resolution was adopted unanimously, and with great applause. The supplementary report of the Committee of Twenty-one was then taken up, and was read as foilows: The Committee of twenty-one beg leave to - > ?i ?t.? ? ?r report uint tney nave cuuaiuuruu mc buiiji-cl ui the best mode of providing for the more perfect and efficient Organization of the Southern Rights Association of South Carolina, and respectfully recommend the adoption of the following resolutions as appropriate for that purpose. Regarding these resolutions, in addition to those already reported as embracing all that is at present necessary for action of this meeting, the Committee respectfully ask to be dis *i> & jbarged from the further consideration of the rarious propositions referred to them. RESOLUTIONS. 1. Resolved. Thnt this meeting of Delegates from the District \ssocintions do now form itself into a Central Association of the State of South Carolina preserving its organization under the same officers. 2. Rexolred, That the Central Southern - . f e* aI rt Rights Association oj the Shite 01 souui Carolina, do consist hereafter of Delegates appointed by the several District Associations, in the proportion of twice as many Delegates as the number ofSenators and Representatives to which each election district is entitled; and that it meet semi-annually, at such place as may be Jesignated by the presiding officer; the present delegates continuing members until a new appointment by the severnl District Associations. 3. Rrsolperl, That a Central Committee for the Southern Rights Association of South Carolina be appointed by the President of this body, to consist of nine members whose dnty it shall he, by correspondence, by publishing and circulating sound documents; and by all proper moans, to promote the common cause; and that any member of any District Association in the State shall bo eligible as a member of the said Committee. 4. Rrsohrt/, That the Central Committee l>c authorized to appoint a Secretary and a Treasurer, and to take all such measures as may he proper to provide for all necessary ex|MMiditures. Mr. W. H. Trescott moved to strike out the first resolution, which was onnnsed bv Mr. Wright, of Laurens, and the question being taken the motion was rejected. The report was then unanimously concurred in. Retnlrptl, That the thanks of the Convention be presented to the Hon. John P. Richardson, for the urbanity, dignity, and impartiality, with which he has presided o\*er its deliberations. Votes of thanks were then passed to the Clergymen who had voluntarily officiated at the owning of the Convention; to the Board of Officers of the 4th Brigade, for the gratuitous use of the Hall; to the Secretaries, for t' e able and faithful manner in which they performed their duties; and to the Committee of Arrangements. l'rayer was then offered by the Rev.

An Airful Tornado.?On sunday afternoon our city was visited by a terrific tornado, which came nearer the description* given of those in the West Indies than any that we have ever before seen. Its course was about a mile and a half long and not more than twenty yards wide. It had been mining all day, but ceased between three and four o,clock, when a dark funnel shu(>ed cloud was observed in the Southwest There was little or no wind at the time, but the storm came down u|>oi) us suddenly with a mighty rush. Striking first the premises of Mr. Sylvester Smith, it prostrated trees and fences, dashing them, by its rotary motion, in all directions; thence it pascd to II. I\ Moor's Esq., tore down a stable on the lot of the late Ruftin Tucker, leveled the chimney, and blew in the sashes of the Standard Olficc, and with increasing fury struck the beautiful residence of Mrs. Eliza Taylor. There, where all was but a moment before a paradise of beauty, it ielt nothing but desolation; her beautiful green house, ouc of the finest in the place, is now n complete wreck, from the fulling of a chimney on the roof, and the flourishing shrubs in her yard are leveled with the earth. It passed next to the Peace building, 011 Fayetteville 6treet, tearing the tin oil" the roof, and whirling it through the air with terrific forcoand velo city?pieces of it were picked up at the distance of a half mile. The North Carolina Hook Store was also much injured, the chimneys and a part of the back portico being torn down. It passed out at the North-east corner of the town, back of the residence of Dallas Haywood, Esq. There it seems to have spent its fury?trees, two feet in diameter, being uprooted or twisted off like twiggs. The kitchen of Dr. William Grey, with two negroes in it, was taken up and carried several yards. The negroes were not seriously hurt, though the house was completely demolished.

The Scamn.?'Flint respectable individual, "the oldest inhabitant,"has never experienced # such a spring lis we have been favored within ^4 this latitude. We are now at tlieend of the V? first week in May, and instead of open wm- * J dows and balmy southern breezes, pouring into them, we are writing by a fire, clad in ?Mer clothing and our fingers cold at that. It WWf so throughout April. Heavy showers, follow^ ed by bright, clear Northern days and nighty just verging on u killing frost, 'lite effect oo the Cotton crop must be sensible. For, although it has not been killed outright, in the high lauds as it has been in some of the creek and river bottoms, it were I letter that it had been, and that the crop were pla-ited anew; than reliance should be placed on the present growth, struggling for a sickly existence through cold night and Northerly winds. Sad Affkay.?Just as onr paper was going to press, our attention was arrested by the fty port of firearms. On hastening to the sjiot from whence tiie shooting proceeded, we found that Mr John Kirhy, a respectable citizen of this county, Had been shot by Mr. Frederick Hall. A gun and six barrels of a revolver < discharged at Mr K., three of the Litter takedi -w. effect, chiefly in the lower extremities of tW body.
