Now andThen.

The autumn Of 1860 found the now
rebellious States in The full fruitiOn Of
peace and prosperity. They had, by
concentrating their efforts upon q few
agricultural products, succeeded, (aided
herein by the pcculiarlies Of climate
md soiD in monopolizing the production
Of, md traffic in, those staples. The
great and overshado~ing interest, (cot.
ion had secured the monopoly Of the
world. They derived an annual income
Of two hundred millions Of dollars,
Iron cotton alone, besides the vast rev.
onnc from tobacco, sugar, molasses and
rice, amounting to not less than four
hundred and fifty million Of dollars
Now, these sources OF income are cut off,
for what little is smusglod out Of the
county, is more than offset by the losses
by capture. Then, their bnnking sys'
tenn wns unsurpassed, representing eigh'
ty millions OF dollars in gold, and an
equal amount 10 currency, but nov, the
gold has been withdrawn flom circula-
ton. and the bank issue increased TO one
hundred millions; while the scrip issued
under the auspices Of the bogus "Confed'
crncv," amounted. Two and half
months since, the 10Th Of Aug. to the
vast sum oftwo hundred and eleven mil
lions of dollars in MI, three hunlrel and

designated hundred days ground their

sacrifices for causes SO trivial for pur.

so defant Of the spirit Of the age?

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The Convention ro-Rssembled, and the
Chairuau Of the Judiciary Committee not
being present, the 10th section Of the re.
port was passed by for the time, and the
llth taken up and adopted as follows:
III. No Judge, during bis term Of sery.
ice, shall hold any other Office, appoint
meat, OF public trust under this or any
other government, and the acceptance
thereof shall vaeate his judicial Office nor
shall he during his continuance in Office be
eligible to any political Office
The 10th section which relates to the
salaries Of the Judges was again taken up,
and the discussion upon Il occupied the re-
mAindoF Of the afternoon. II was so far
amended as to make the salary Of Judges
Of the Supreme Court OF Appeals $4,000,
and the same allowance for mileage 81
members Of the Legislature, instead OIL
$4,000 as reported by the Committee. The
salary Of Circuit Judges had been fixed by
the Committee at $4,000, and q motion to
reduce it to 81 800 was pending at the time
Of adjournment.

an ordinance Of secession. Mr.. Davis then
referred TO the course Of the seeded
shtes, eontendiug there was no cause for

take that old Hickory was not allowed 10

Carolina. lie Davis knew that there
were warrants Issued for treason against
three Of the principal traitor. and the
very first gun fred from Charleston, Old
Hickory would have seized these traitors
aud hung them. But now conspiracy Of
thirty years has broken out ia a iremsHd'
Gus rebellion, aud there are many people
In the South to-day who would like to
have their old enemy, England, rule over
them, with whom already we have had TWO
struggles. Rather than such thing
should happen, hO would prefer to see the
whole American country sunk 10 the bot

gued the Senate had n right to e1Pel any
member whose conduct in any way unht.

avows himself opposed TO coercion, and
who Ia not willing to give the Government
a single man or gun to subduc the rebel
lion, was evidently untitled for Senator.
