CHARLESTON AND THE SOUTH.

We are glad to see the indications of lispo-
sltion on the part Of the merchants of the South
and Southwest, to adopt a system Of non.inter.
course with the North and TO bestow their pat
ronnge upon Charleston, our own queen city of
the South. Several Of the Merchants Of Gcor-
gia nd Alabama have already purchased their
entire stock Of Spring and Summer goods in
that city. and we trust that their example will
be followed by the Merchants of our State and
the South generally. From our Charleston ex
changes, We lenrn that the merchants Of that
city are importing largely in view Of general
patronage and unless their expectations are
realized that they will meet with serious loss.
We trust that their efforts in the cause ofSouth
ern independence will receive due encourage
ment, and as their stocks nre unusually large
and complete, we have no doubt, that they i'll
offer to the purchaser every induccn.ent which
can be furnished by the cities of the North
Onr own citizens we believe are disposed to
sanction non intercourse policy even at a pc.
cuniary sacrifice. The following paragraphs,
we extract from the Charles,,n Courier.
