The RESOURCES OF the south.

The North is more populous than the South,
on an equal superficial area its people are
far more closely connected by railr Dads ana
canals and the press is more generally estaD-
lished. The people, therefore, hear more about
the industry. skill, and resources of the North
than of the South In the verbal contest of
commentator and description, the North has
from these circumstances Il vast advantage, and
has succeeded in making the people of that
section believe that their relative resources are
far greater than they really are ; and they have
often misled even Southern men on this subject.
We purpose taking fair view of the matter;
and this is undoubtedly the right time to do So
for it is important and necessary that the peo
pie of the several sections should rightly esti
mate the power and resources of each other.
Misguided men at the North have yet to learn
how far their own welfare is implicated in a
right appreciation Of the productiyeness of the
South, and proper treatment of their southern
fellow-citizens, according to the covenant made
by their fathers.
The South may properly comprehend the fol-
lowing States, viz: Maryland, Virginia, Ken
lucky, Missouri, Arkansas, louisiana Missis-
sippi, Tennessee North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Texas
fourteen States. The area Of these States is
$4,000 square miles. There are connected
with them, by natural and indissolubc ties, the
following States, viz: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, 4
and Wisconsin. Michigan has heretofore gone
with them in the most part in sentiment; but
her position places her more in connexion with
the Northern than the Southern States
The South has a far more diversified soil and
climate than the North-by which latter we
mean New England and New York Pennsyl-
vania We regard as middle State, and it has
well deserved the name Of the keystone of the
arch. The States naturally and indissoIubly
connected by ties OF interest with the South |
comprehend 10000 square miles The South |
and these States therefore include 1,O4O 900 .
square miles.
Countries that lie north and south of each
other, and geographically situated as these
are,-the Mississippi being the great inland sea
which connects thcm-are bound together by
ties of nature not easily sundered. Such is
the position Of the States of the South, of Hi
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, and the greater
part Of Ohio. The former have exchangeable {
productions which the latter want in immense ]
quantities. The South has cotton, the great {
staple for foreign expectation, which, for the
year ending June 30, 1850, (see Commerce '
and Navigation of the United States for that
year, amounted to the sum Of ST 1884, 616

that he is anxious to restore the harmony on which

The Editor of the Register admits that he was
mistaken in regard to the necessity for extra
sion of the Legislature to remodel the Electoral
Districts. He makes this admission in his paper of
Wednesday last, and then proceeds to bore his read
with good deal of stale wit in reply our ar
ticle the subject. The Editor doubt now
thinks himself witty; but should not be sur
prised if he to admit before long that he
mistaken in this also. The probability is that he
has been msled in this respect, he was in rela-
ton to the Electoral Districts, by of his Cores

THE cHRlsTIANA OUTRAGE.

A friend writing to US from Philadelphia, under
date September 29th, speaks in glowing terms OF
commentator of the charge delivered by Judge
Kane the Grand Jury in Philadelphia, charged with
nquiring into the Cbristiana outrage. Boldly"
says our Correspondent " did Judge Kane meet the
crisis, and nobly did he acquit himself Had one OF
Judges presided, his charge would net have been
more favorable to Southern rights, more sound, or
more in accordance with the true meaning of the
Constitution. large concourse had assembled, for
the question had excited much feeling. The audi
ence as we'll the Court seemed to feel the deep inn
portance of the OCCASION and each word that fell from
the high judgment seat of the law was distinctly
heard.'' Our Correspondent contains:
Judge Kane, in commencing his charge, alluded
to the facts as published to the world, that citizen
of Maryland, pursuing lawfully with officers of this
Court, person bound to service who had escaped
from him, had been resisted by armed force-this
person cruelty assaulted and murdered others of his
company severely wounded, and the officers of the
law put to flight. This involved the highest crime
known to our law, the crime of treason. His Honor
then defined in the words of the Constitution
and charged the Jury that any combination to oppose
the law of the land, by force and any successful re-
sstance to the law, was treason. His Honor stated
he that particular law had been the sub
ject of vituperation from many who were UNIV rthy
the privileges of freemen; yet he well knew the
character and temper of the citizens of Pennsylva
MIA when he declared that they knew no higher law
thereof it their pleasure well their
duty to carry out.
Such was the substance of this charge. 1t fell
upon our Southern ears like oil upon the waters.
Many Southern gentlemen were present. among them
Judge Donnell, of Newbern. We were rejoiced to
hear such sentiments from the highest judicial trbu
nal of the State.''
Some six or seven of those engaged in the outrage
at Christiana have already been committed for high
treason and learn by the last Northern mail that
two others, coored, Samuel Williams and George
Mills. have also been arrested on the charge of rea-
son in being connected with this outbreak. Will
liams, it is said, is the spy who gave the negroes at
Christana warning of the approach Of the officers
with MIR. Gorsuch.
We indulge strong hopes that justice will be dealt
out to the guilty by Pennsylvania Jury. Much,
very much depends upon the issue of this case. Judge
Kane has done his duty let the Jury do theirs, and
the effect will be salutary throughout the whole

HARRISBURG, Sept. %, 1851. One of the most i'm.
porant fugitive slave that has yet turned up in
Pennsylvania has been disposed of here in the most
summary manner.
Four alleged fugitive slaves, named John Stoucbef,
John Bell, Edward Michael, and Fenton Mercer
charged, on oath of Michael Lentz, on suspicion oil
having been participants in the fugitive slave riot at
Christiana, were arrested on Friday at Fishersvlle,
In Dauphin county, and brought to Harrisburg, and
committed to prison.
Mr.. McAlister, the U. S. Commissioner, and James
Fox, the District Attorney, admitted the illegally oil
the commitment and Immediately after the discharge
of the prisoners Commission er McAlister pointed 10
them and declared them in charge of his officers, as
fugitive slaves. The u S. officers then hand-cuhed
them in open court, and conveyed them TO the Com,
mlssloner's office, where an examination was held
with closed doors.
Several reputable citizens who were present during
the proceeding, declared in open that the mana
cling of prisoners under such circumstance was an
outrage, and Judge Pearson expressed his willingness
to arrest the U. s. officers for contempt of court
the charge was brought against them.
They were yesterday brought before Judge Pear

COL. BENroN's HISTORY.

Col. Benton, it is stated, is engaged in whiting
history, which is to embrace the time during which
he has been in public life He has had large exPe-
rience and is we'll posted up in political history
His preudices and vanity, however, may prevent him
from doing justice stating the truth in all cases.
The Rochester Democrat, speaking of this forth
coming work, says:
"CURIous PASSAGE AMERICAN HIsToRY. Col.
Benton is at Washington, engaged upon his book OF
history. Ii Is said that he will make singr lar
disclosures, which may seriously embarrass some of
his prominent political friends. The ST. Louis Re
publican predicts that, if published before the presl-
Dental election, it will create sensation One pas
sage of it is said present curious state of affairs
under the Polk administration. 1t has been read TO
some one, some one has read it, and reports that
it attributes President Polk the design, during the
war with Mexico, of Withdrawing the troops from
service atoo ether This design is said to have been
formed in consequence Of the clamor of the wings
about the immense expenditure of money to carry on
the war. The order for this purpose was actually
signed by Secretary NJ arcy, of the War Department
Col. Benton heard of il late at night He called on
the President, coseted with him for several hours,
and the result the recall of the order, and the
prosecution of the war. COL Benton claims for him
self, the consequence of the exercise of his per-
sonal influence in this matter, that he saved the de-
mocratc party from destruction; and there is much
ground for such claim. If true. it Is curious cpl
sode of that war if not true, Mr. Marcy can explain
it. When it is elected that Col, Benton had IN
fuence enough with the President to induce him to
recommend the creation Of the office OF lieutenant
general in the army of the United States, with the
intention elevate him to that command over two OF
the greatest and successful generals the world
saw, it will not surprise any thinking man to
hear of the disclosures which it is said MI Benton
intends to make in his BOOK
The Washington Union notices the above, and
says:

mates nothing which shake the confidence OF the
party in the justice, ability and patriotism
