NORTHERN WATERING PLACES.

f.. NORTHERN WATERING PLACES. -,
We are not sure but our people deserve tht
rebuke administered in the subjoined article from
the Richmond Dispatch:
We observe by the Northern press that the
arrivals in New York, from South Carolina, o
families zen route for the Northern watering
places, is quite'as large asat any former period
The various steamboats, bring full loads Of the
chivalry. and the annual tribute money Of the
pleasure seekers begins to flow freely into North.
ern Golfers.
On the whole, the South is good customer
for the North. Considering what an eagle
South Carolina is in chivalry, she seems to be
plucked and eaten, with reverence be it spoken,
as easily as fat goose. The whole. commerce
Of the South Is 10. Northern hands /; her great
staple makes London Of New York; while in
her own cities grass grows in the streets; all her
manufactures arc purchased North, her sons 60
to Northern schools, and even her invalids and
pleasure seekers seek health and recreation ut
Northern waters. Such provincial dependence
would be Objectionable enough to high spirited
people, even if the relations between the two
sections were of the most fraternal character;
but, in the present state of affairs it is suicidal
The North was never guilty of such folly.
She has grown rich and great by encouraging
her own industry, and refusing 10 purchase
aunht abroad that she could manufacture or pro-
cure at home. If the South would rigidly prac-
tice this lesson she would have no reason to fear
the future.
OF all the fashionable follies, that Of patroni-
zing The nauseous waters and more disgusting
society of Saratoga, in preference to the mag
ni6cent springs and refined society of the South,
is the most monstrous. There is no spot in the
whole North which combines such advantages
for health, comfort and social enjoyment. as the
watering places of Virginia and other Southern
States. Where such mountains, such bracing
air, such magnificent scenery, such Il variety Of
medicinal waters as in our own glorious State !?
It will be useless for the South to ho'd con.
ventions, pass resolutions and enact retaliatory
laws, until it begins to practice the principle
vital to the SUCCESS of every community, of sci,
dependence.
A SLAVE CONSPIRACY DISCOVERED In MISSIS.
= - SIPPI.
The Marion (NIiss.) Republican gives an ac-
count of the discovery Of a slave conspiracy at
GarandsviIle, Jasper county. 1t says: :.
"a trustworthy negro on neighboring PLAN
tation, after having received pledges of sscresy
revealed the existence of conspiracy, to an over.
seer and requested him to repair to certain
place, in tho milst Of dark, unfrequented
swamp, and see for himself. The over>eer did
not 60, but the next morning he took with him
some friends and went 10 the spot designated
by the faithful negro. There they saw every
indication of large crowd having been assem-
bled horses bad been tied up, fires kindled, and,
from appearances they calculated that upwards
of one hundred negroes had there assembled on
the preceding night. They left The spot, and
the neishborhood was quickly alarmed. ssver-
al negroes were taken up, and among them the
leader. The greatest excitement was prevailing
in the country couucil was held, and it was
decided that the negroes should be hung mme-
diately ropes were procured, and the sentence
of the council was about to be executed, when
the crowd relented, fearing lest the innocent
should perish with The guilty.
"The negroes were then severely whipped,
md then confessed that The conspiracy extended
throughout large section of country, that there
existed several other organizations, which they
called schools" in the neighborhood, and that
their object was to organize in sufficient force,
and march, increasing their force as they went,
10 free State. No arms or ammunition Of
any kind could be discovered but The negroes
confessed that they were to meet at Garlands-
Vile next Saturday night to make a START
When asked why they selected that place as
rendezvous, they could give no reason, and the
presumption is that they intended to suck the
place and murder the inhabitants. Two white
men, they say, have been amongst them, but
their names were not known TO The negroes, nor
was anything developed which could identify
them. Arms and ammunition are probably con-
cealed somew here, as such scheme would
never have been attempted without them
