Governor, and United States Senator, and in every position in which he was placed by the unsought suffrages of his fellow citizens, he proved himself worthy of the high confidence reposed in him. He was indeed a remarkable man, possessed of rare powers of eloquence, which were al ways exercised io behalf of the honor and interest of the South and especially of the State, which he loved so much and by which he was so much honored. In des- scribing the character of his eloquence the author of “Li ring Orators of America” says “He broke into the political arena w ith the fury of » competitor too late for the combat: and as if to redeem lost time, or to annihiliate as soon as possible the antagonist who had summoned him to the tight, he amazed all by the eloquent vio lence, the unexampled impetuosity, and fierce earnestness with which he smote down his foes.” In stature, Mr. McDuffie was about the medium size and not at all distinguished for a fine personal appear ance. He had high cheek bones and a prominwit Roman nose, and his general outline was rough and ungainly. His person and character was rather an em- bodiment of the grand and sublime.- He scorned everything like ornament—was simple and unassuming in his manners fof these patriotic efforts!

It will lie seen by the account in this paper, that there lias been a consid erable decline in cotton, lids is at tributed to the fact that the receipts in Southern ports, to tiie last of February exceed the previous year some 111,000 hales.

It isonropinion that the crop will not he sufficiently largo to justify the recent decline. The in crease in receipts may lie accounted for by the favorable season for gathering the crop and the inducement of high prices to press it forward early to mar ket. But our uhiefobject in this article is to say a word to planters relative to their future prospects. Will it not lie the- part of wisdom,, now to increase the provision crop, and diminish the cotton crop? Whilst cotton is falling, pro- visions of all kinds are rising in price. There is not enough of coni and meat in this section to make the coming crop: and it must consequently he brought from other sections at much expence. It is undoubtedly the interest of planters whether the price of cotton lie high or low to make sure of a full provision crop, and they should consider that as the cotton crop is diminished, the price is increased. It is notorious that when the general crop is small, it brings more money than a large crop. Albany Patriot ON DANCING Dr Fitch, in one his lectures on the uses of the lungs, and on the mode of preserving health, says: Dancing is the king and queen of in door exercise. It is suitable for all classes, and ages, of both sexes.— It is a most elegant and most exhil arating exercise. It is one of the most ancient, and one of the must sa intary. I do not speak of it as a dis- siptinn, but ns an exhilarating and val uable exercise. Among the exercises it is second to none. It is extremely suitable for the sedentary, for invalids and for consumptives. 1 have known one of the worst caseifof consumption I ever knew cored by dancing alone practised daily for many months.

NON-INTERCOURSE. The question has frequently oeen moot ed of late in the South, and especially in South Carolina, whether it is better “To take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them ?” or to resort to a rigid system of non-in tercourse with those States, which fatten on the products of our labor, while at the same time they are striving with Pharisai cal zeal to subvert the very system of la bor on which our prosperity depends. We are of that number, who believe that the former is a step requiring the exercise of great prudence and wisdom, while we tlunlUhat the latter though laudable in the higheat degree, cannot be observed rigidly at the preeent time. We do be- lieve though that a “little grape,” judici ously administered, and a detemduation to show the Yankees that we can breathe Without going to them for everything, would tend much b> alter the tone and temper, of this impertinent race of people, towards tiie South.
