Certain Editors in the State seem to re.
gard the articles of the writer in the News
as an answer to the pamphlet. The author
of sRutledge," to whose attention these ar
ticlcs have been recently brought, thinks
z quite otherwise, and did not design aEeply.
A brief, rejoinder is now made only to show,
that SO far from having overthrown the main
prop6si4ions of aRutleagci," the writer, by
the weakness of his attack, and by his own
admissions, has practically strengthed them,
If Rutledge" has advanced, the most
"startling statements" in relation to the fiscal
resources Of the State, arising from her i'm
ports in case of separate secessiogsis may be
;sssafely said. that the reyisi bis Pamphlet
has argWd ShinssH"iIifos SOME of The most
absurd conclusions. Such, among others,
are the following: First, that the contribu-
ton of South Carolina in duties under the
8. existing Tariff docs not exceed S500,00O an
4nually. Secondly, that under the peaceful
/ operation Of a separate State Government,
$sNeO,OOo will be cut off from our exports,
- and consequently from our imports, and
hence there would remain but $a,000,000
from which to raise revenue. But of these
hereafter.
The first point assailcd by the writer is in
relation to the exports of the State. Upon
naked assumption, without any appeal to
documentary evidence, he eontroverts the
facts and figures under this head, contained
in the Pamphlet; estimating the annual value
of the exports from the State, at $ll,O50,
600. Rutledge," from statistical tables
furnished by public documents, states then
to be from 100000 to Sl4,ooO,oOo. H
did not strike an average for two reason
mainly: First, because the data upon whic
to base accurate calculations were not with
in his reach Secondly, because it was nc
necessary to the argumcnt-an approxim;
ton to the true results being sufficient to e.
tablish the positions aimed at Can relianc
be placed upon the statements of the writ'
in the News? He does not furnish partic
of evidence In controversial dispute
this nature, could he expect his mere dicta
he taken as authority! Are his statemen
any thing more than gratuitous assumptions
He proceeds in this way, although he seen
to regard scrupulous accuracy in the matt
essential to the argument!
Now his admission of Sll, ,050,000 of Sta
exports will fully sustain the hypothesis
"Rutlcdge" in regard TO our revenue und
a separate Government; but since rigid C
sstness is to him 80 important, let US inqu'
a little more closely into the probable annu
value of our exports.

On the l7th, battle occurred, in

Which We published Monday, and
which represented that the Habanero

after which many things transpirel
publicly inducing the impression that
a battle had been fought and that
many Of the government troops had
been wounded. The battle Of the

very probably have been made \ nown

the next day. A letter FROM Ha-

How much soeyer We MAY differ

choose to do S }, procure every article
needed by thdir customers in Nash
vile at less cost than by visiting
the eastern cities and purchasing

them an unwafranted assertion. But
let them examine the subject fully,
and they will find that, if they esti-
mate their time. as of any value, the

propose to Sd into an argument to
show that our position is correct
having taken it for the purpose Of
suggesting that which. We believe viii
be Of advantage to our brethren of

to examine and decide, because to
them it properly belongs
We have re4son to believe that in
this, our good cid County Of Lincoln,
there are annually sold some two hun
dred thousand dollars worth Of goods
Of every variety demanded by an in
dastrious, prudent, and, to some ex-
tent, fashionable people. Now
would it not work well for all here in
Tennessee, if our merchants generally
would carry their money to men Of
their own State in Nashville rather
than convey it abroad to those who
have 10 immediate interest in our
local prosperity? And if our mer-
chants would do as suggested, would
not-sueh action on their part place
the wholesale dealer in Nashville in
aposition to sell still cheaper?
To our minds nothing can be
clearer than that should or
.wonld the retail merchants Of Middle
and Western Tennessee resolve to
obtain their goods IN Nashville, and
at understandingly upon that re-
solve, such action would result greatly
