RESOURCES OF THE SOUTH.

Governor Hammond, of South Carolina in his late
speech gave the following glowing description OF the
resources Of the South:
1.-THE South, he said, has eight hundred and fifty
thousand equare miles Of territory an area as large as
that covered by Great Britain, France Austria Prus
sia and Spain. The North, even after the admission
of the two large Territories Of Kansas and Minnesota
will fall one hundred thousand square miles short of
the South. This does not include the territory lying
west of the Rocky Mountains, which will never come
into with the South. We have the best SOIL
the best climate indispensable productions that cannot
be grown elsewhere, shore line Of three thousand
miles, and 30 indented with bays and crowded with
Islands az to make the whse twelve thou
sand miles, Thorough the heart of country runs the
mighty Mississippi, into whose bosom are poured
thirty six thousand miles Of tributary streams In the
great valley it drains will be the seat of the worlds
empire. We have population four times as large
az that which conquered our independence, and
thousand fold as strong. Upon our muster rolls we
have q million of men. At any time the South can
raise equip and maintain In the field larger force
than any power on earth can send against her-msn,
hands. The wealth Of people 10 to be estimated by
their surplus productions. All the enterprises of
peace and war depend on what q nation 10 able to
spend The reports of the Secretary Of the Treasury
show that the exports Of the United States amounted
last year to 00O exclusive of gold and foreign
merchandise re-exported. Of this amount, the pro
auctions of the South are $l85 900. In addition
to this we sent to the North $35,OU0.OOO of our
staples, making our surplus productions worth
$500 0OU 0O0 equal to l6 66 per head Of our popua
tion supposng it to be twelve millions, dividend
which no natien on earth can show"
This is grand picture and true every word Of it.

THE TURKISH ADMIRAL.

Mohammed Pachs, the Turkish Admiral was
"lionized" quite extensively in New York last week.
He was installed into the Order of the Sons Of Malta,
and it is said that he was previously Mason. On
Thursday, the unfortunate Turk was escorted to the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, where he examined every
thing Of interest. He has been exhibited in the
theatres. In the circus, and been compelled to submit
to the curious gaze of thousands STILL the lion en-
dured his stirring up with much philosophy, very be-
coming in regal animal He even bowed graciousy TO
the clown in the circus, who said Russs mustered her
forces, Turkey peppered them. England and France
assaulted them, and altogether they made pretty
pickle" "Why" said the ring master, "you are In
merry key" "Yes," replied the clown. IL was born
in A.merfy:key, lAmsrics( and am glad to see here
our guests from Turkey"
All this, said before, the Pacha endured with
Mohammedan patience and resignation; but he i'm
proved the earliest opportunity to send q trmdn to
Washington announcing his intention Of visiting that
city early this week.
At the representation of the "Hugusnots," Moham.
med inquired the subject Of the opera. He was told
that it represented two sects Of Christians emitting
each others tbroafs, whereupon the Turk stroked his
beard. and reverently e1claimed: "Grest is Allah,
and Mohamet 10 his prophetl'

Why then should Judge Loring be removed Is
il because of the howl of squad of fanatics and trail

Dictatorship and covered themselves with indeble
dishonor. Shame where Is thy blush
The only offence Judge Lorng has committed Is
that Of having executed Law OF CONGRESS. This
10 the ground of hatred of abolitionism he executed
the fugitive slave law! Now these fanatics hold this
doctrine that constitution or no constitution
no sw-no fugitive slave shall be again taken from
this State; and majority Of the house. in voting this
