Letter of Hon. D. Wallace,

We publish to-day letter from Gen. Wallace
to the Editor of the Jackson (Miss.) Southron.
This is not the only instance where Gen. w. has
had occasion to take up Editors who have display
ed considerable aptitude in making against him
gratuitous and unfounded charges, as we'll as cir
culating statements "unerly false and unfoundsd"
He is the wrong man to speak against in this
way; he is determined not to be msrepresented,
and no Editor or any other man dare insult him
with impunity. lie is right:

Encourage Home Trade.

This is and has been favorite hobby with us
since our debut in the quill driving fraternity We
maintain that our political independence, safety
and prosperity depends, to very considerable
extent, upon our encouraging home products, DO
MEsTrc enterprise and southern labor. We take
the following from the Columbia Telegraph of the
22d inst, and ask, what use or sense is there in

"A Columbia BeM~-We had the pleasure yes
terday Of examining bell which has just been
cast at the Foundry of Burton, Gilmore e. Co., on
Washington street. The bell weighs about sixty
pounds, and for sweetness and purity Of tone, we
think excels any that are rung in our town, altho'
we heard it at disadvantage, not being as yet
furnished with tongue. or elevated properly for
use. 1t was cast for the Mt. Dearborn Factory,
on the Catawba, having been ordered BY Daniel
Mccullough, Esq, the enterprisng founder and
proprietor Of that establishment.
We may remark that Messrs. Burton, Gilmore

have gone on, steadily and perseverngly, and with
zeal and energy which must ensure success In

those interested III such matters
The Missouri COMPROMISE L1NE.-It is of
course understood when the South places itself
on this line that she means this line extended
from the western boundary of Texas to the Pa.
cifc Ocean, isecting California far enough
North to give the South good sized State with
the advantage OF u seaport. 1t should not be
for moment supposed that the South would
consent for Texas to be dismembered by the
invasion of the 36 80 line, commencing on the
west and running eastward. You might rs
well at once ask her to let the same line apply
to Arkansas Missouri and all the States east
Of the Mississippi.
The Nashville Convention has done we'll to
make that line from Texas Westward the basis
of settlement, and the South will do better to
stick to it. To do this shows disposition on
the part of the South to abide by previous
solemn compromise. If any thing more than
this be demanded by the aggressors, it will just
show to the South that no confidence ought to
be placed in any Compromise,
If fArkalsa, were above the line.

SourHERSERs AT THE NoRru.-A letter
from New York to the Philadelphia edger
says:
"Quite large number Of passengers from
the South arrived in the steamer Southerner,
from Charleston, this morning the advanced
guard of the great army of travellers that is COM
ing to the watering places, and fashionable sum-
mer haunts of the North. Two-thirds of the
persons at present stopping at our Broadway
Hotels, are from the other side of Mason and
Dixon, and mention the fact merely to show
how the sensible portion of our countrymen, i'll
that section, treat the non.iutercourse sugges.
tons of the ultra politicians there"
What ships of all others had you rather see
wrecked! Those which are carrying Southerners
of the above class, or those who are going North
to buy goods! Southern men, who of you belong
to the I.edger's sensible portion!
The Nashville Convention may issue another
pronunciumento--the "Souhern Press, with its
five hundred subscribers, may issue paper bul.
lets, aud the. staff officers Of the revolutionary
army may issue an order of ihs day, but nothing
short of al actual invasion and conquest of
California and New Mexico will remedy the
evil which, to one half its extent at least, they
might have avcrted. The Southern ultras are
very much like boys who weep over their lost
breakfast, and, for this reason, are determined
to have no drink either in order not to establish
a dangerous precedent. 1t is now 8 o'clock,
p. m., and they still call for their milk toast and
coffee. till, from sheer "pride of Consistency"
they will yet be sent supperless to bed. Cali.
fornia was served up early in the morning, and
disposed of to the early risers; New Mexico will
come in for dinner, though she is half raw, and
Utah is reserved Us cold slice for supper
There was once amiIiionuire who cut his throat
because he lost $4,000. He did it from "pride
of consistency" for if he had allowed such a
practice to grow in his counting room, he might
have died bankrupt.
And thus the South is to be buled into submis-
sion by the puppy train ofyankee letter writer's
and still Southern men will advocate a compro-
mise built upon basis like this There is too
much truth in the fact, that it deprives us of our
breakfast Who had right to deprive us-and
yet The compromissts will take the drink from the
very hands that robbed them of their breakfast,
and which tell them, You'd better take this than
nothing" Such men were never born to be free,
and should never be allowed home beneath the
stars and stripes.
