We have said, that our present exports, ari- i

00 could have arisen from thcx products of' j
dier States. This estimate will, we suppose, 11
uswer also for the year 1850. 11

lerefore, would b* about ?7,910,000. i
The exports in Rice from the State in 18-19, ?

Charleston would have the re-selling of i
iio whole ; for the merchants and the planters j
if the inte. ior would find it greatly to their ail- !
antage to buy there, to say nothing of the ;
lithe,ulties in trading at other places out of the i

ft is ;i fact i:i the progress of nations, that in
propo: 'on as consumption is cheapened, it is
also multiplied; and that the more a nation
produces, unless under a had government, the
more it. consumes, from the fact that it is more
able to purchase. Opulent, civilized and industrious
nations, being greater producers are
always greater consumers than poor ones; and
they usually consume unpmlucliccly the greater
part of their revenues, whether derived from
industry, capital or lnnd.J This much at all
events, tnay be assumed with safety. Either

grerff mistake to sui)po.-s<^ka|^b^jMfse (IM^
wealth consists in the in ereneT^fi rr^u p of f
:ie. A nation may accumulate cajjifltJ^or gfinv
in wealth'hy exchaugmg products, which may '
jo employed as reproductive capital. C^m- ^
nerce, indeed, is hut the exchange of the labor
}f one man or nation, for the labor of another
nan or nation. One hundred dollars, or its
equivalent in produce, exchanged for a horse, j
t>y which new capital is produced, is but an ex- i
diange of values, in which the 8100 and the |
lorse are consumed, but in such manner as to j
u!d to the wealth of both parties concerned in |
,he barter. So of all machinery and imple- i
nents bought with a view to increase produc- J
ion. They contribute to the more rapid ac- j
simulation of capital. They create wealth, i
litis is what political Economists term re-pro
iitcfioc consumption, by which industrious and
liming nations add much to their wealth and
prosperity.
If this view of the subject he not correct,
ivhat becomes of the exported products of a
intion i A State sends out 812,000,000 of extorts?it
she do not receive 812,000,000, of
mports, what becomes of the remainder I Will
t he said she will receive it in specie ? What
tation could stand the draught it would make
ipon her specie? Suppose Kfouth Carolina in
rade with England, after taking seven millions
?f commodities, should demand five millions in
pecie?how long could England afford to
radc with her ? lu 20 years that nation would
use 8100,000,000, of specie, nearly one-half
ti the whole that circulates in her borders.?
So! it is evident, that .South Carolina, to trade j
profitably, must take in exchange for her ex- lies
ports, commodities of some sort, with a very cei
mtali amount of specie. There is no danger tro

ife, and in tiie great improvements she could J
nake in tier various branches of industry, she fac
ivoirlJ, like all other nations under the sun, de- oxf
nand imports to the full value of her exports, wil
And she would thereby add greatly to her ^ui
Avalth. This would he the case, at present, e.\i
>at for tiie (Joveriitacnt and the -North. j
We are therefore, at a loss to perceive how are
jveii Charleston is to lose, when South Caroli- am
la has established her independence. I km

With its joyousness and love.

Weaves a glory round the flowers.

And the silent land of slumber
Ilath no pleasant dream for me,
Since I wander 'mid its shadows,
Lonely and afar from thee.
I miss thee?oh, I miss thee,
Where'er my footsteps roam,
I miss thee in the world abroad,
In the quiet of our home;
And there rests a lonely shadow,
On the face of nature now,
And a shade ol care is stealing
On my heart and on my brow.

In my own deep solitude,
I miss thee in the weary hours
That above ray spirit brood;
And to me all nature's d reary,

Since thou art not here to bless me ^

HEAVEN.

[leaven is a reality, not seen by the eyes of
