last paper writing from Charleston, gives some
interesting information relative to the true
course of business Our merchants in the in.
terror, generally think that they can purchase

very clearly:

THE DUE WEST
FEMALE COL i b G B

ENCOURAGED by the liberal subscriptions
~ made Tor the purpose Of establishing
Female College in Due West. and relying upon
the generosity of other portions of tie Church
not yet visited. the Boa rd of Trustees TO whom
the management Of the Institution has been
entrusted, have thought it proper to proceed
to the organization Of the College, so far as to
elect Instructors, and to make such other or.
rangements as was necessary to put the Cul-
lego into operation. The building at their
command, though not such as the College
should have, will, it is thought, answer for the
present year.
The erection of Boarding House in con.
nexion with the College is contemplated, az
soon as the necessary means can be obtained
but for the present, Boarding can be had in tho
families of Dir. Bonner aud Mr. Galloway, and
perhaps others.
The first Session will commence on NON
DAY THE 9TH JANUARY inst.

TO the Public.


We owe II to'our patrons and friends :as well
'as to ouruelses to state thds publicly The reason
why many Of our customers have been; and Others
may be, disappointed in ths ful6IIment of their
"ordefs " brought us by servants for spiritous
liquors. rNs
Some time ago we were waited on very po-
litely by MIR. JAMES NJ PERRIN, who
said he was directed by "ViyiIanue Com
mittee" recently organized in,his place, to say
to us thatSjWe had no right TO sell spirits in
any quantity, to any man, if the order iof
the same was brought by Negro, even by
tho slave Of. the individual who sends the
order. Being thus admonished we, as all
good citizens ought. have ever since comp he'd
with said Instructions.
Many of our friends have advised us to the
contrary, thinking NO doubt we had the right in
law to let master have three gallons or more,
through his servant, especially when that SER
want brings order sigued by him. But be
the matter as it may, it affects the public more
than it does US; and it may be best, under pres.
ent circumstances. to require every one who
wishes to buy spirits to come for the article in
proper person. least, 80 it would seem
think the Vigilance Committee" 81
We are young men, but recently started in
business and comparative strangers in this com
munity. Our object is to do right; and admit
thug for the moment that We had the law OH ou
side, we are nevertheless willing, and cheerful,
promise, TO obey the wishes OF the orderly ant
respectable portion Of the community.

N,oH.INTERcouRsE. &.


The New Y ork Journasef Commerce, closes
an article on the effects Of the nen.intercourse
movements in the South. with the following
significant remarks: -
Tho South has been making gradual pro.
gress in the mechanic arts for many years
past, and factories for the coarser cotton and
woolen fabrics have been put lnsoperation in
many States; SO that this movement is Eo new
thing. but hiss simply received an'unusnal and
marked impetus, for reasons already given
The chief difficulty of the South in extending
her efforts 10 successful piactical resnlta, hos
been her lack Of mechanical skill. She has
been almost wholly an agricultural producer.
Her laborers (slaves) are chiefly farmers the
now looks for operatives TO aid her in carrying
on her mechanical enterprises, and already has
she engaged the services Of many such from
the North. Northern mechanics and all who
are willing 10 engage ip legitimate and hon
orahle occupation, are most desirable acQuisi.
tions to the South, aud are cordially welcomed.
We learn that never before was 81 large an
emigration of this class to the South known
The inducements to go South are unusual; for
no. only are the wages considerably larger
than are raid here, and the expenses of living
| somewhat less. but in many parts of the Notrh
complaints of hard times have begun to be
heard. Some are out of employ, rs is always
the case in the winter season, and others are
working at reduced wages. The Chelsea
(Mass) Herald reports dull times there, the
best carpenters being glad to get work at Sl.25
per day. and good workmen commanding only
| rs cents. Painters. it is said, will not average
SO cents a day the coming winter ship-car
| peutcrs arc out of employ, and masons have
gone into the country. The prospects of al
such would be improved, at least for the pre-
sent, by going South"
