SOUTHERN COMMERCE.

The fact is we'll known, and its effects as
a cause are fully realized, that the Northern
and Middle States do enjoy profitable a
gency in the transacting of Southern foreign
trade, which we should, upon principles of
expectancy, policy, and right, exercise for
ourselves. In whatever cause this unfavor-
able state of our commercial affairs may
have originated, it is not material to enquire
the existence of the evil, at once suggests
the propriety and the necessity of applying
the appropriate remedy-and that remedy
must be found in the patriotism, zeal, energy
and united action of the Southern States
Foreign commerce is an element of nation
al wealth, Indispensable to the agricultural
importance of any country, and eminently
promotive of the great cause OF civilization
and human happiness, in whatever aspect it
may be regarded; nor indeed can it be ra-
tionally expected, especially at the present
time. that any state or nation, however wise
and JUST may be its frame of government,
either wholly destitute of foreign commerce
or whose commercial capabilities become
subservient to the interests Of others, can
long mainlain those attributes Of political in
Dependence, g that due preparation to meet
every national grievance, which should be
characteristic Of every enlightened conn-
try.
That region Of country compromising
the South Western States, unquestionably
embraces ia rich profusion, all the elements
Of national wealth, and every desirable IA
cility for the successful establishment of .
direct trade with foreign countries; wide
extent Of fertile soil; q geaial and saiubrious
climate; an enterprising population; large
mass Of productive labor, the most valuable
supple commodities on earth; and an extern
siye sea-board indented with numerous har-
bors favorable to shipping. Would i not be
absurd to suppose that section Of country
on which . bountiful providence seems thus
to have stamped the seal Of greatness, should

The "Liquor Law" as it is called, has
now been in force nearly one month, and
no better evidence could be furnished Of
the popularity Of the law with the great
mass of the people of the State, than the fact
that IN every county in which court has
been held since the &c. took effect, the
keepers of tipping shops have uniformly
beempresented to the grand jury-and the
desire seems to be general that the severest
penalty of the law should be visited upon
them.
The passage of the law was altogether
unexpected; and many, even Of the mos,
jealous advocates of temperance were for a
time perplexed, lest instead Of diminishing,
the act should widen and increase the
desolating torrent of intemperrnce. But no
sober and rejecting man, who has at hear,
the best interests Of society, now doubts the
expediency or practical utility of the law.
We repeat 1.-THE law is most decidedly
popular with the people of Mississippi
and notwithstanding the eneers and doubts
continually poured forth by some of the
dram-loving and rum-soaked editors of th
State, it will be most rigidy enforced.
We take great pleasure in recording, that
there is not now single house in Rodney
where liquor is sold in less quantity than
one gallon-the last grog-shop was closed a
few days since, and the late keeper of it i:
on his way to Texas.

The business of the week has been more
animated than the week prevous-the in
quiries for goods and groceries for the inte-
rior has been good, and the weeks transac-
tons present pretty fair state of trade
In several kinds of western produce large
sales have been made. By reference to the
subJoined remarks 1t will be seen that large
shipments have been made, while the re.
ceipts have been much greater than the pre-
vious week. Much of the western produce
is limited at higher rates than the present
market price.
0rCoTToN.-A great excitement has
pervaded the cotton market for 10 or Is days
past, and we find it impossible Mt present to
give an accurate statement Of the real trans
actions that have taken place. Since the
receipt of the intelligence brough, out by the
Great Western, degree Of confidence pre-
vailed in the market, but as vet we have
heard of no sales in advance of our quota
tons. The large sales TO one individual
have in part been cancAled. How much
of the A 900 bales said to have been sold to
this person, will be out again into market,
we have not been able to ascertain. We
think however, that the market will become
settled IN few days, and the trade resume
its accustomed channel. We can form no
probable conjecture Of the real sales of the
week. 1t is estimated that the sales of the
last two days will amount to or c, 900 bales
prices unknown. A small lot of Texas cot

the following remarks relative to the applca-

~ have found phrenology to be OF the
greatest service to me in choosing clerks and
servants or domestic helps as you call them.
When in the profession of law, never would
employ a clerk who had not a large coronal
region. And this has been my practice too
with regard TO domestics for the last ten
wears. / would rather trust to an examinn-
Iiion, indeed, than to certificate OF character.
Being in want Of a servant at one time, one
applied who had an excellent coronal region
and good intellectual development. My
niece went to inquire Of her character from
her late employer, and was told that she was
dsagreeable, disoblging, and the worst
tempered creature she had ever employed
said this cannot be so, and | will employ
her. did SO, she remained with me three
wears, and maintained q most excellent char
octer; she IS now married, and is an excm-
plary wife and mother. afterwards learned
the reason Of this dislike on the part Of heI
former employer. She had a smaller brain
less coronal and intellectual region than thu
servant, and felt that she was her inferior
this irritsted her, and she was very unrea
sonable and somewhat abusive, which occa
| sionally reused the servants self-esteem an
combativcness, and produced disagreeabl
scenes"
