Too much praise cannot be be- slowed upon those who are the founders ot institutions of learning, and especially those who build up and sustain an Academy, as has been the case with Miss Black.

 RsE On Thursday the 18th inst, Mr. MEM NIGER, the South Carolina Commissioner to Virginia, addressed the Legislature of that State. The telegraphic report says that he was escorted to the capital by the military and addressed an immense crowd for over four hours. The Executive of the State, the mem- hers of the Senate and the House of Dele gates. the Judiciary and number of the most nrominent citizens in the State were present After reviewing the history of the slavery agitation and discussing the theory of our government and the relations of State and Federal governments, he closed by asking, on the part of South Carolina, that Virginia unite in sending delegates to general con- vention of the Southern States, to determine what course the South shall pursue. This IS something practical and looks like effecting union in the councils of the South. Since writing the above we see that resolution has been introduced into the Mississippi Leg islature by Gen. Stark, (formerly Union man,) providing for the appointment of a Commissioner to proceed to Virginia and con- suit with the authorities of that State as to the best means of maintaing Southern Rights.
 Hon. A. M. CLAYTON is suggested as suit able person to be sent on this delicate mis- sion.

ApyERr1srNe.-Discontinuing to advertise,

ADVERTISING. G.-Discontinuing to advertise, says the Philadelphia Bulletin, is like taking down one's own sign It is sort of lntlma- tion of retirement from business, and the peo- ple treat it as such; or they may regard it as evidence that something has gone wrong, which requires privacy for investigation Whatever construction may be put upon it, the result is disastrous Now, we advise all our readers who may have fallen into the com men error of the season, to come out Of thelr holes, to put up their signs once more, and to advertise in as many papers as they did Tn other times. While business creates adverti- sing, it is equally true that advertising creates business. It creates talk and stir in busl- ness circles and reminds people that they have no right to be leading drones' lives, even though the times are dull. And even Tn the worst of times advertising always pays well, and the more of it there is the greater will be the circulation of money, and sooner will be restored a condition of prosperity

 GT- As indicative of the remarkable unity that is now pervading the South, we notice that the Legislatures of Louisiana and North Carolna-States that have hitherto been re- markable for conservatism-have passed reso- lutions that have the ring of the true southern metal about them. Louisiana through her Legislature, without dissenting voice, has determined to send Commissioners to the Gen. eral Convention suggested in the message of Gov. Letcher, and has resolved that the cleo ton of a Black Republican "irrepressible conflict, President would afford just cause for secession. North Carolina, with unanimity scarcely less, has resolved "that if we cannot hold our slave property, and at the same time enjoy repose and tranquility in the Union, we will be constrained in justice to ourselves and to our posterity, to establish new forms and provide new guards for our safety" "The day for the political redemption of the South draweth nigh" These growing evidences Of Southern unity betoken the resurrection of a patriotism that will yet secure for us either ''equality in the Union or independence out of it tD
