WHOLESALE BUSINESS OF CHARLESTON.
The Charleston Mercury gives the fol-
lowing favorable report of business in
Charleston
"Our wholesale traders in Hayne and
Meeting streets are still doing a heavy busi-
ness. The stocks of heavy and staple goods
are fully equal to the demand, and late ar
rivals have added very considerably to their
assortment. Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia,
North Carolina, and our own State, are all
taking their supplies from here, and we
have seen three or four agents of European
houses soliciting orders for all supplies
Thus everything looks bright for Charles
ton, and we are only waiting to see our flag
floating over Fort Sumter"

Sharp Talk about Fort Sumter.


Fort Sumter never is, but always to be,
delivered up. We are heartily sick and
tired of hearing, by telegraph every day,
that Fort Sumter is to be evacuated. 1t
has been the daily announcement for two
or three weeks, and the day of evacuation
has been fixed again and again, and the
day has come and gone, and Fort Sumter
still holds out in defiance of the immense
appliances for its destruction. The latest
news from Washington now is, that the or
der to evacuate is conditional, namely:
evacuate if unable to hold out any longer.
1t has cost the country an immense
amount of money, preparation and excite.
ment to get the Government at Washing
ton to the point of ordering d conditional
evacuation. We apprehend that the Gov
ernment of the Confederate States is now
in condition to hasten up the determina-
ton of Abraham's Government. 1t would
probably be wise economy in the Govern
ment to do so. If it is prepared to capture
Fort Sumter, it is costing the country a
great deal to watch and wait for it to cru-l-
Bile down by the abrasion Of time. The
Government is concentrating great many
troops at Pensacola. We are mistaken in
those who have control of public affairs, if
this is for any idle purpose. If any inter-
esting occurrences are to take place at Pen
sacola, the forces that watch and wai' at
Charleston, after the fall of Fort Sumter,
might be actively employed, SO as to be
making the best use of their time, which
they seem now to be throwing away.
We just now had call from an excel
lent mechanic, who came to consult US about
the prospect of getting employment at the
Navy Yard at Pensacola We told him
that while Fort Pickens frowned down up
on the Navy Yard the Government could
carry on no work there. Perhaps that's the
clue to the movements of troops towards Pen
sacola-the Government wants the Navy
Yard to begin to build ships We hope
then that they will "hurry up the cakes
about Fort Sumter, in order to be more
able to hurry up the cakes about Fort
Pickens. The country is sinking into
a fatal apathy, and the spirit, and even the
patriotism of the people is oozing out under
this do.nothing policy. If something is not
done pretty soon, decisive, either evacua
ton or expulsion, the whole country will
become so disgusted with the sham of
Southern independence, that the first
chance the people get at a popular election,
they will turn the whole movement topsy
turvy SO bad, that it never on earth can be
righted again.

LAND OF THE SOUTH!

BY A. ,. LEONARD.
Land of the South the fairest land
Beneath Columbia's sky!
Proudly her hills of freedom stand,
Her plains in beauty lie.
Her dotted fields, her traversed streams
Their annual wealth renew;
Land Of the South in brightest dreams
No dearer spot we view.
Men of the South. A free-bom race,
They vouch patriot line;
Ready the foeman's van 10 face,
And guard their country's shrine.
By sire and son haloing light
Through time is horne along
They "nothing ask but what is right,
And yield TO nothing wrong"
Fair of the South! rare beauty's crown
Ye wear with matchless grace;
No classic fair of old renown,
Deserve higher place.
Your vestal robes alike become
The palace and the cot:
Wives, mothers, daughters every home
Ye make cherished spot.
Flag of the South! Aye, fling its folds
Upon the kindred breeze;-
Emblem of dread TO tyrant holds
Of freedom on the seas!
Forever may its stars and stripes
In cloudless glory wave;
Red, white, and blue-eternal types
OF nations free and brave!
States of the South the PATRIOTS boast!
Here equal laws have sway;
Nor tyrant lord, nor despot host,
Upon the weak may prey.
Then let them rule from sea to sea.
And crown the queenly isle:
Union of love and liberty,
Meath heavens approving smile!
God of the South! Protect this land
From false and open foes!
Guided by Thine all ruling hand
In vain will hate oppose.
so may the ship of state move on
Upon the unfathomed sea;
Calamity DER its suges borne
The bulwark Of the free.

Compliment to the State Convention.
The Charleston correspondent of the n.
York Herald pays the following compliment
to our State Convention, now sitting in
Charleston: ..l .t.,.-l,, IL
"Your correspondent has attended many
public assemblages, has seen the collected
wisdom Of the nation in the Senate Cham
ber of the United States, in the Hall, Of
the House of Representatives, in the Leg
islatures of number of the Eastern, Mid
die and Western States. He has performed
official duty in the United States Senate, in
the House, in the Legislatures of Maine,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts,, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Hi
uois, and in innumerable public conven-
tions; and candor compels him to say he

those assemblages that could surpass, col
lectively, in personal appearance, in dignity,

the purpose Of adopting the Constitution Of
the Confederate States of America. There,

The physiognomies of the miser, the spend.
thrift, the braggart, the thoughtless, the,
dolt, the demagogue, could nowhere be seen,
1t was, in short, body of men who were
born, who were educated and who were de.
signed by Providence to achieve great
things. They were not all statesmen, al
though there were many; they were not all
politicians, although there were many Of
that class they were not all planters, al.
though many of that class; they we're MOI,

manufacturers, or mechanics, or doctors,
although there We're several of each class J,
but, as body, they presented as fine; 3
combination of the true American charac-
ter as was ever congregated within four
walls on the American continent. The des
liberations of such men must be attended
with triumphant results; and South Caro-
lima, with the members of this Convention
as her representatives, may we'll rank among
the first in mind, as she has been the, first
in fact, in the revolution which has secured
the second independence of her own and

THE lNUNDATIoN IN HoLLAND.-I
have just returned (says correspondent of
the Daily Ne,os, writing from Amsterdam
on the 18th ult., from visit to the inun.
dated district Of Mass and Waal, and a
more saddening scene of desolation it ie
difficult to conceive. Between those two
rivers were about forty villages-most of
them populous-and about $4,000 acres of
cultivated land; and the greater part of this
district lies now under water. The vast
ice-masses which dashed through the breach
of the dyke-a breach nearly quarter of
a mile in length-destroying whatever
houses or barns impeded their progress,
have now much diminished in extent
though for some time after the waters had
begun to subside they lay about in huge
accumulations miniature icebergs. As we
passed through the village of Leuwen,
knee.deep in mud and slush, the evidences
of this fearful desolation were everywhere
visible. Here the ruins of cottage whose
walls had been beaten dowr by the ice or
undermined by the food; there the remains
of a barn reelipg over into the submerged
meadow; the carcasses of drowned cattle
and domestic animals lay half buried in the
oozy surface of the fields, while in the cot.
tages not beaten down by the floods were
many Rachels "weepiug for their children,
and refusing to be comforted because they
we're not" Several entire households were
swept away by the force with which the
rushing waters burst through the dyke,
whilst few families have not to mourn the
loss of some of their members. The dyke
is now being repaired, aud it is thought
that in few weeks the waters will have
entirely disappeared; but it will be severa
months before the houseless laborers Of
this district can return to their toll. The
national subscription on the 18th produced
almost million guilders, whilst a similar
amount had been previously collected fol
the relief of the numerous sufferers from
this unexampled inundatian.

No one ofthe "many ills flesh is heir to" is 30
prevalent, so little understood and 90 much neglect
ed as Costiveness. Often originating in careless
ness, or sedentary habits, it is regarded as Sigh,
disorder Of too little consequence to excite anxiety
while in reality it is the precursor and companion
OF many Of the most fatal and dangerous diseases,
and unless early eradicated it will bring the sufferer
to an untimely grave. Among the lighter evils OF
which costiveness is the usual attendant are Head
ache, Collie. rheumatism, Foul Breath. Piles and
others of like nature, while long train Of ghtful
diseases such as Malignant Fevers, Abcesses, Dys-
entery. Diarrh9a, Dyspepsia, Apoplexy. Epilepsy.
Paralysis. Hysteris. Hypschondriasis. Melancholy
and Insanity, first indicate their presence in the
system by this alarming symptom. Not unfre
quently the diseases named originate in Constipa-
ton. but take on an independent existence unless
the cause is eradcated in an early stage. From all
these considerations it follows that the disorder
should receive immediate attention whenever it
occurs, and pcrson should neglect to get absx OF

approaches Of disease and destroy this dangerous
