Caihounism in the south.

Measures have been taken in the South
to keep up the agitation on the slavery ques-
ton, commenced during the late Congress
by Mr.. Calhoun and his associates. Reso-
lutions, einanating doubtless from himself
or subordinares, and committing the slave
States to 'sthe last resort i'm the event of
the passage Of the Wilmot Proviso, have
been introduced in Southern Legislatures.
Meetings are now in progress from the Po-
tonac to The Nueces, called, we presume
under the same maligu auspices, to respond
To the Address issued by the SlaveholdiDg
DisuniOp Convention held in the Capitol
last winter. Reports of their proceedings
are paraded with great solemnity in the
Southern journals under the Calhoun influ-
ence; and did we not observe the fact that
these meetings are scattered, poorly attend
ell, and spaslnodic in their action, we might
deem them indications Of formidable
movement. But we have noticed but one
of the kind in Maryland, one or two in
Missouri, an attempt in Kentucky, three or
four in Virgina-very few, indeed, in any
State, except South Carolina, which, as in
duty bound, is bristling, like the fretful por-
cupine. al! over. The activity in this re-
narkable State reminds one of the times of
Notification. Every district has its meet
ings, and Committee of Vigilance or Safe
ty, To guard against incendiaries and incen-
diary publications, to fan the fame Of a
watchful patriotism, to brace up the people
to the point of dying for their Iiberlies.-
The journals, too, are full Of 6ght.--Nat.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The s'mineral lands'' included in the foregoing
proclamation are chiefly situated between Lake
Superior and the Montreal river, and on Isle Roy
ale, in the northern peninsula of Michigan, aud
are rendered immensely valuable by the exhaust
less mines Of copper and other ores found therein.
A considerable number of those mines have ale
ready been discovered in the trap ranges, within a
few miles Of Lake Superior; and from the geclog-
ical character of country and the explorations
already made, it cannot be doubted that others
equally, if not more valuable, will be found
throughout this whole ''mineral regiong'
In some Of the mines now worked, copper Is
found almost pure; and, in fact, most of the ma
tive copper and ores yield greater per centage
than any other yet discovered in the world. Sill
yer is also found in considerable quantities. .
All the necessary materials for the construction
of furnaces, and fuel for smelling, are found in
abundance in the Immediate neighbourhood of the
mineral.
The climate in the winter, though cold, does
not interrupt the operations Of the miners; fact,
that season is considered the most favorable for
their operations.
The proximity Of these mineral lands to the
shore of lake Superior, which are several safe
and excellent harbors and the water communities
ton therefrom, by the Sault Ste. Marie, lakes
Huron Erie, &C., furnish ready means Of trans
porting the products of these lands to the princi-
pal markets OF the United States at very trfling
cost.
1t likewise appears from the reports to this Of
fee, that the agricultural lands are of fair quail
ty, producing the usual culinary vegetables and
grass in abundance, and, when properly TILED,
they have been found favorable for grain crops al
so; and for all these products, fair price and
good market will be found at the mines.
1imber-such white and yellow pine, sugar
maple, yellow birch, &c.--is, in many places,
very abundant, and by its thrifty growth gives er-
idence of she richness of the soil.
Maps, showi g the localities of the mines and
other valuable Information relating thereto, derived
from the geological survey, &C., which cannot be
embraced in this brief notice, will be prepared and
deposited in the land Office at Saut St. Marie, for
inspection, as early practicable, before the COM
mencement Of the public sales

HE MEDIrERRANEAN STATION is be-
coming one OF great importance, aud the
Government seem TO he quite aware of il,
and have provided force to be there of a
character to sustain the interest aud honor
OF the country, having assigned TO its com
mand an officer OF reputation. 1t is not in
general known how much has been done,
heretofore, in purely civil sense, by the
commanders of American squadrons. We
are accustomed to view them as officers en-
trusted with naval forces to resist with skill,

Our attention has been called TO it by seeing
the appointment Of Commodore Morgan.
and learning the description Of the force he
Is appointed to command upon SO important
station. The older officers Of the last
war are almos, all gone; and this geu.Ieman
whom we have been accustomed to associate
with the recollections of the engagements
and captures of the Guerrero aid Jsvu--in
both OF which he bore a distinguished part
will have cast upon him duties aud care.
OF totally different character, WHICH seem
to have multiplied as the concerns OF the
nation have become more extended. The
time will undoubtedly come when ouch SER
vices will be requited by the Government
with more distinct notice than they have
heretofore received, from proper arpreci-
alton of their value to the nation, which
should furnish every incentive to honorable
success in their performance. ,,r'
