PUTNAM ON SLAvERY.-Mr G. p Putnam is in
dustrously writing down his Magazine in the South.
In the last number, he characterzes slavery in these
words: From its very nature it is despotism of
force, of law, and of opinion combined-partally
mitigated in practice by humane personal consdera-
lions, but in theory absolute. 1t is administered,
for the most part, by the whip; it is sanctioned by
legislation; and it admits of no scrutiny discus
Jon. All that can be said of it, in the regions
where it prevails even by those most deeply inter
csted in its results must be said in its favor on pain
Of Terenptory Punishment or assassination" If all
Northern periodicals would speak in this spirit,
there would be some hope of Southern literature.
We glad to learn from the booksellers here that
Putnam is rapidly vanishing from the market. The
void should be supplied by the Southern Qtarterly
ReriGc, the ablcst periodical in the country.

The last Charleston Courier says:
"The weather yesterday was anything but pleas
ont dizzlng rain having fallen at intervals through
out the day, and the thermometer having ranged
from 60 to 67 degrees, all of which, fear, may
nossibly have unavorable influence upon the ep-,
demic, notwithstanding we have the gratifying fact
that there was no death from yellow fever for
the twenty-four hours ending at nine o'clock last

absent friends the imprudence of their returning

we're made and it is possible, under the circum-
Stances that some of the competitors for premiums

an occasion, to do exact justice to every one con-

Pork PROSPECTS, 1t is estimated there will be no
falling off in quantity in this part of the country,
though it is the general belief that the quality will
not be as good as usual. The number of hogs in
the country being much larger than before, and
there being corn to feed them vast quantities will
be hurried into the market mast fatted The price
can hardly be guessed at-probably it will not be
below 81. Vincennes (Ind) Gdzette.
