For THE RICE TRADE.-We understand that
the vessel builders and merchants of Beaufort
are fitting out all the small vessels belonging to
that place, for the rice trade in South Carolina
and Georgia. The planters in those States have
determined upon practical Don-inteIcourse with
the North, and refuse to employ Northern coas-
tiers. Our Beaufort friends are the first to take
advantage of the feeling against the North, and
are preparing to go into the trade actively
This is as it should be. North Carolina can furn-
ish any number of vessels suitable to that
trade, and can man them with trustworthy and
intelligent seamen. The profits of the business
will fall into the hands of q Southern State,
while the planters will have their rice crops car
ried to market at no more than the usual freight
We would direct the attention of our seamen
to the inducements offered in this trade. We
cannot say positively what are the police regula-
tons of Charleston, and of South Carolina, but
we presume the owner of rice trader could
sail her with his own slaves. If this be so, there
is an additional inducement to go into the bust
ness.

Well, what then is to be done? We do not
hesitate to say, that The Union cannot stand and
ought not 10 stand, if this, the only one Of the
series of the measures which is of any real value
to the South, is either repealed or nulIifed. To
aynothing of the baseness of allowing series
of acts to be passed, with the understanding that
they We're each and all part of compromise of
conflicting claims, and then that the stronger
party should stand to all that had been conceded
to itself and repeal the only one it conceded to
the other party--to say nothing Of this, the
South has constitutional right to this law, and
TO its faithful execution-a right which neither
its honor nor its interest will permit it to relin-
quish at any hazard, even of disunion itself
g 1t is with great reluctance that we have adj
nltted the above conclusions. They are, how
ever, forced upon us by the state of things at
the North, and it is our duty to let our readers
at the South see, as we see it, what is going on
there. If Southern papers have any readers at
the North, We would add, that it is due to them
to be warned ofthe fatal tendency Of their move
ments." ..,.r...

president Fillmore has announced his deter
mination to enforce the Fugitive slave law, let
the consequences be aohat they mag ; and if neces-
sary he will protect the United States Marshals
in the discharge of their duty by calling to their
aid the full force of the army" s. ..
The action following this determination will
be this In Boston, Cleveland, and a few such
places, where the people have resolved to resist
the law, detachmepts of the standing army will
be sent with instructions to hold themselves in
readiness at aminute's warning to aid the United
States officers in the execution of the law
The detachments must necessarily be small as
the whole standing army numbers less than
10000 aud they are already distributed in squads
along our immense frontier where their presence
Is much needed. A single company, probably will
be thought sufficient TO garrison Cleveland, and

Much speculation has been INDUCED as to the
amount of property of which President TAYLOR
died possessed. IL may now be of interest TO
know, as learn from a creditable source, that
in the month of July, 1886, while at Monterey.
he committed to paper instructions for the di-
vision Of his property, in the event of his being
killed by the Mexican enemy, or dying of dis
ease, or in any other way, before he could return
to his family. This was the only will he made,
and no subsequent writings in relation to this
subject have been discovered. But, as we all
know, he did return; and the question occurs,
does the Monterey instrument hold good 1t
is supposed, however, that the several parties In
terested, will divide the property in accordance
with the desire OF the deceased; and thus the
original design be consummated. ..
