The News
Our exchanges hiring US bat little aews
upon the subject of the National crisis. The
policy Of the Administration a. yet seems
to be shrouded in mystery. and We are NO
wiser now. rs 10 the proper meaning to
attach TO Mr.. l.incolaa's Inaugural. than
we were the morning We read it. Fort
Sumter. it is reported, was to have been
evacuated On yesterday, whilst Fort Pick
sns and the other Southern Forts are 20 he
reinforced. The Republicans declare that
the abandonment Of Sumter is not brought
about or prompted by any other cause than
that of ''striet military necessity. -
From this We may infer that peace or con-
cession will not be the policy Of the
Administration. and, that the republicans
can be brought to terms only by the
knock down argument. The Virginia
Convention has done nothing new of i'm
portsncc and it is thought will soon ad-
journ sine die. The people Of Arkansas
are to vote upon the question Of secession,
at the next regular election day.-some-
time in August next. The constitution Of
the Southern Confederacy has been pub
lished and, 10, in the main, identical with
the old one. The changes. however,
through few. are important and radical
Gov. Hicks has written another letter and
still adheres to his original views upon the
crisis. The general Impression seems to
be that no more States will secede before
next Fall. If at all, and that If one Border
State moves the rest will assurcdly follow.

Ok8USeAk O00AS
In consequence Of the inclemency Of the
weather. the late term of our Circuit
Court was rather sparsely attended. We
believe, however. the usual amount Of
civil business was transacted. though the
criminal docket did not reach, either in
number or character Of cases. the average
standard. We are gratifed ut this evi.
dence of moral reform in eur community.
and are satisfied that our readers will be
pleased 70 learn that there was no criminal
c.se Of sufficient Importance before the
Court as to be deemed worthy Of report in
our columns. Court adjourned on Friday
afternoon, and. short time prior 70 its
adjournment. the Grand Jury presented
to hi. Honor, Judge Grain. the following
preamble and resolutions:
Whereas. it is right and proper that
those who have been faithful Public OH
oers should receive the commendation of
the people to whom they have devoted their
time and talents; aud whereas this express
sion of public commcndati"n 10 especially
due to the Hon. PETER W. GRAIN
Who, ~ the judicial officer Of this district.
has decided in controversies between his
fclluw-ci,;zens Of the most delicate charac-
ter without fear. favor or prejudice. but
with exclusive regard to right and justice;
aud whereas the present relations existing
between his Honor and this body will be
terminated by the expiration of his term of
Office before the reasseMbliug Of this body;
Therefore. be it resolved by the Grand
Jurors Of st. Nary's county. That the
course and conduct Of Judge Grain. during
the whole time he has occupied the bench.
il entitled to the full aud hearty commend
alton Of our body. and that he has shown
himself, in every respect. worthy Of the
confidence reposed in him BY the public.
Resolved. That independently Of cur

OPACITY. we have every reason to regret

him as worthy citizen and all accom-

SLAVERY AND CoTroN. The Baltimore
American says.-A great deal has been
said of late about the substitution Of fax
for cotton; but it seems to be forgotten
that for the cultivation of that substitute
the soil of some of the slave States is Pc
culiarly well adapted. Nearly two thirds
of the whole fax crop Of the country is
produced by Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-
souri,. North Carolina and Virginia.
When these philosophers suppose that
there il no department Of industry but the
cotton culture in which slave labor is prof
liable, they make the most egregious BLUM
der that even philosophers were ever gull
~ Of. At least twenty millions Of dollars
are now invested in the Southern States
in manufactures and twenty-five thousand
operatives employed. The South pro-
duces nearly one-iourth Of the wool grown
in the United States. Its corn crop, IN
I'll the last two harvests, amounted to one
half Of the whole corn product OF the coun-
try. There are four or FIVE Southern
States either Of which produces ten times
the provisions and live stock of England.
No, more than one third Of the slaves OF
the South are engaged in making cotton
for market. So it is very clear that the
abandonment Of the cotton crop would no,
involve the abandonment Of slavery.
