From the Charleston Mercurl
The Late Storm.

While Miss Jenny Lind was pleasantly entertain
ing her large audiences here the press North was
eagerly canvassng rumor that the boat in which
she left Wilmington had gone to the bottom with all
its precious freightage. There some justifca-
ton for the fear. The storm very violent along
the whole coast-the mail was interrupted, the tie lie
graphic communication broken every where, and to
add to the alarm, the steamship Ohio due at New
York, had not been heard of The latter it will be
seen, was nearly wrecked, and with difficulty made
the harbor of Norfolk. A Philadelphia paper dis
credits the rumor of the loss of the Wmn boat
by stating that those boats never venture out when
the weather is at all bad. This is using calumny
to correct Misrepresentation, We have published
account of the performance of the Gladiator dur
ing that memorable night. The Ohio in the
storm is ptiable object in comparison with the
Gladiator. The latter proudly sustained the repua
ton of the line to which she bcongsa line that has
encountcd perils of the sea- without less than
any other in existence.

TRADE OF THE GREAT LAKEs.--1he aggregate val
of the lake trade of the United States in l84S and
independent of Lake Superior S185. 485 2G7, or
more by S40000,000 than the whole foreign export
trade of the country. Thetrade of Lake Ontario
alone $28, l4lOO0. 1t is not probable that the
above figures of much practical value. The Dry
Goods Reporter says:
This gives an increase of S41 1872 5S3 on imported
goods, which must be an error. Two thirds of the
imports of the country made at the port Of New
York, and the official figures at this port show but
an increase ofSl6,00000O for the year, which would
give S24O0O000 for the Union. Again. SAL 1872, 584
increase in imports would give SllO00000 increase
of duties; but the increase from S30 346 538 in
1919, less S3,O00000 the expense of collection. to
S49,500379n 1850 including the expense of collec-
ton or an increase of So. 100000 only on duties.
1t appears that the import of bullion from Calf
fornia per official reports, was s9,03l,256 for the
whole year, although the mint at Philadelphia re-
ceived double that amount.

uMr. Webster has thoughtit expedient to
correct, under his own name, the telegraphic
report of that passage of his speech at Buffalo
wherein he was represented as saying: "Gen-
tlemen, regret exceedingly that slavery ex-
lists in the Southern States, and that Congress
has no power to act upon it." He confirms
the accuracy of the amended report, in which
he is truly made to say: 81 regret exceedingly
that slavery exists in the Southern States, bu'
Congress has no power to act upon it,
Mr. Webster goes on further to correct the
inference that he desires that Congress should
have the power, by adding: - 3 .r.
It must be obvious to every intelligent per-
son, that if Congress possessed power over
slavery as it exists in the Southern States, any
attempt to exercise such would break up the
Union, just as surely as would an attempt
to introduce slavery into Massachusetts,
These are subjects of mere State right, and
State authority, intended originally to be left
entirely with the States, and they must so be
left still, if we wish to preserve the Union.
The letter was addressed to John NJ. Bolts
of Richmond, Va, and appears in all the papers
| Of that city. - .--.-~-.---.-

C The Greenyille IS. CO. Patriot thus drives
long nail into the body of secessionism as it
exists in the Palmetto kingdom. The hit will
tell in many other sections that we know Of.
It is one that finds a proper mark in almost ev-
cry place where secessionism has yotaries:
We said, too, that the largest shareholders
in our country had not been the most promi-
ment in this agitation. 1t looks bad to see a
little fellow, who does not own slave in the
world, making such a fuss about not being al
lowed, by the Federal Government, to carry
his negroes to California and wishing 20 de-
stroy the government, and involve the country
in revolution and war, because the right has
been denied him by the people of California
themselves At the same time, his ncighbor,
who owns hundreds of negroes, does not feel
that his property is injured, or his rights or his
honor affected by the action of California.
