Commercial Convcntion.

This body adjourned at Memphis, in
June last, to hold its next meeting in
Charleston on the second Monday in April
next.
The citizens Of our commercial town,
With their wontcd spirit and hospitality are
making large and liberal arrangements for
the accon mudaLion aud entertainment Of
delc&hes. The different Steamboat and
Rail ro"1 Companies offer to convey dele
gates for half fare, or one fare for the trip.
We look upon this commercial movement
OF the South and West, as of vast impor
lance and from which great results may
accrue. The inland portion Of the Sta,e,
through Charleston must feel an interest
also i'll the objects Of the Convention, and
with great propricty, we think we uiay
suggest representation from tho country
at the meeting in April.

NORTH md SOnfll.

In recent speech delivered by Mr..
THOMAS l.. ANDERSON, at Palmyra, Mis-.
sour, sumo interesting statements we're
made in regard to the relative morality
North and South. From statistics it an.
pears that the excess of population in Ten.
ncsscc over that Of Massachusetts is ,l26 +:
yet the number Of paupcrs in the latter
State amount to 5519, while the former
only has +9l. In Massachusetts there are
l,6I7 insane persons and in Tennessee
only 47S. In Massachusetts there is one
church to every G95 persons, and in Ten
nessec there is one to every 5l7. Ken
tucky has nearly three times the pop,lla-
ton of Connecticut. yet Kentucky has only
III paupers and Connecticut l,74l. OF
the insane Connecticut has 462, Kentucky
507 In churches Connecticut numbers
ITO, Ketncky LOIS.
1t seems that in The manufacture OF ar
dent spirits the South has also the moral
advantage. Connecticut and Massachu-
scits manufacture jointly 4,037 900 gallons
Kentucky and Tenncsse only 2,l4S,945
gallons. The joint population Of Massa-
chusctts and Connccticu, is l.3G5,29O !;
that Of Kentucky and Tennessee is ,935,-
O3O.
This is noble tribute, which unlcn:a.
BILE facts, make to the South and stern
vindication of her institutions.

From I;alrOnc

The news brought from Europe by the
last steamer, is Of an important and inter
estlng character and bears most decided
warlike aspect. Cotton has slightly dc
clined, bread stuffS and provisions have
advanced Considerable excitement exists
in England and France and the crisis is
momcn,arily looked for.
The French Government believes ,ha,
the people will force the Gar formally to
declare war. 1t is rumored that Ncsse /.
rode has resigned md his resignation been
accepted.
The Cars answer to tho note of the
-Four Powers, is passive, but leaves little
hope OF peace. The excitement Of st.
/, Petersburg is tremendous. 1t is rumored
that body Of Russians have crossed the
Danube.
A regiment of Christian Cossacks lef,
Constantinople on the Sth to join Omar
Pasha.
; : 1t is stated that Russia demands Of Den.
mark to takc one side or the other, and also
objects to The purchase from the latter
ofa Naval depot by Prussia.
There had been no fighting on the Dan.
ube since the last accounts. Active war.
like preparations continue. The allied
fleets we're last steering for Batoun. The
Russian feet was also at sea.
The Vienna correspondent of the Lon.
don TImoa snys that torriic battle waa
going on at Muschin. on the 18Th, with a
fearful lose of liie' The town was in
flames. Further fighting at KaleIat was
daily expected. Two odivieious of The Rus.
sian fleet, of twenty-five vessels each. are
cruising in the Black sea. A collision
there is considged very probable.
Another famine is sthreatcned in Ireland
Provisions are enormously high, and still
going upward. In some parts Of Limeric
tho people aro suffering dcplorably from,
want of food.

Mechanics.

Mr.. Editor On two recent occasions,
the mechanics of this town have been rep.
resented, by some unknown un irrespons.
bic persons. az the patrons of riot and mob
law. We claim to be as quiet, paaceable,
and well disposed to law and and order as
any other class of our citizens. The people
ofnur town arc all well apprizel of this
fact, and we are unwilling that false i'm.
preston should 60 abroad. A large number
of respectable mechanics requested me to
say that t,rey will not allow ths name of
Mechanic to be prostituted to any such
purpose. They see tho trap. and do moi,
mean to be caught in it. Ii the trick it
again repeated, the Mechanics will indict
the ri"'ors, and prosecute them TO the ex.
tc'.t Of the law.
