SOUTHERN TRADE.

The New York Commercial ant Fl
nnncinl fhronicE", in review of the
March trade, says:
The South has been larger plrcha-
ser in our markets than at any other pc
riod within the last ten years, and u
might have been reasonably supposed
tha, good amonnt Of the currency sent
there in payment for cotton would be-
gin 10 find its way back. The non.re-
alizllion of tI.is expectation, however,
warrants the suppo.ition that the South
is now buyIg upon credit to a much
larger extent than during late years
and assumption which is countcnanced
by the improved confidence felt in Sou.
thcru merchants.
On this the Baltimore Sm comments
as follows:
"This, in one sense, speaks well for
the South, showing that, by its energy,
Industry and thrift, it can command
money for its immcd ate needs, and Sc,
cure credit to whatever extent it is ju.
dicious to avail ofit-and it is to be
hoped it will not avail of it to any great
er extent. Lief. by the war almost pen
niless, robbed even of its cattle, its irn-
plements ufindustry destroyed, with lit
tie help from other States, except that
which our own Maryland people hasten
cd to tender their utmost ability, the
South is once more getting fairly upon
its feet, and able to make its way, 6nan.
cially again. To produce such result
there must have been general industry
and sobriety among all classes, and SO,
beyond doubt, there has been. If, un
der the drawbacks it has encountered,
the Southern States had been freed
from political agitation, whatlim would
there now be to their prosperity or to
that of the country, which is so largely
dependent upon their welfare? Is it
not time that the business of the North
and sections should awaken to the COM
pcte rescue of their own commerce,
trade and industry from the mali IN po.
litical and fanaiical influence which rre
still hampcring and encumbering South.
ern progress? In Baltimore the trade
with the South has continued to aug.
ment, but with progressive restoration
there we must expect other cities also
to benefit by it. There never were
greater inducements in the Baltimore
market for our Southern as well as NVes-
crn and interior friends generally than
at present"
We cordially endorse the statements
contained in the last sentence, believing
them to be strictly true. Baltimore does
offer unparalleled inducements to the
Southern buyer, and We can see no good

OuR RAIL EOAD.

Since the re opening Of our Railroad,
after the war, passenger trains have
run only three times week, much to
the Inconvenience Of the public. A few
weeks ago, petition from our citizens
was sent to the General Superintendent,
asking that the trains be run daily, to
which he replied, expressing rerres at
his inability to give an immediate an
swer, but promised to refer the matter
to the board of directors. We have
borne patiently, for a long time this
grievance, and think our citizens should
continue to urge the matter upon the
attention Of the board Of directors uE-
til we receive what is justly due us
daily trains.
We are glad to notice that the rcgu
lar through trips to Columbia on Mon,
days, Wednesdays and Saturdays have
been resumed. ....

THE FIREMEN'S BALL.

80 This afftir which has kept expect :

finally eliminated in grand success
The weather which had been threaten
ing during the day, condcsccnded to
.xcar q smiling countcnance about the
time that twilight dcws were falling
q. fast the moon shone down in radiant
beauty, and all nature rejoiced that the
,lethargy which had hung SO long aud
gloomily over the. social atmosphere Of
, our town. would be so soop dispersed by
the exertions of Terpsichorts ardent
yotaries. To attempt an elaborate dcs-
scription of the scene which entrauccd
one, upon entering The hall, would re-
quire an artists pen, as it certainly did
gu artists eye to arrange the sweet flow
ers of Spring into garlands and shapes
so beautiful as those which adorned the
hall to its remotcst corner. Across the
hall, a little more than half way back
from the door, a screen stretched its
'forbiddinS length, suggesting visions of
edibles, "et id omne yenus." Only the
favored few were admitted into this
sanctum, where one bcheld feast fit
for kings and queens to taste. We un-
derstand that Mr.. GEORGE CROSBY has
a distant idea where the said feast caue
from, and We would advise those inter
ested to institute an inquiry about it
Immediately in the direction indicated.
After dancing until the waning moon
threw its departing glances athwart the
face Of earth, the happy crowd dispersed
with many a lingering regret over the
time so gaily spent. Like Christmas, the
Firemau's Ball only comes "once
year." and there is no reason why every
one should not have his or her share
thereof. All success to the Camden I.

OIL AND CoTroN.-Thc Columbus
(Ga.) Enquirer says The announce

Madison was probably eau ed oy COM
busriun produced by the contact of cot
ton material with oil, ought to admon-
ish the public Of the danger of such u
contact. MIR. y. ID. Brown, whose
mechanical experience and observation
are valuable, informs us that II cotton
is saturated with boiled oil and after
wards expu>cd ,o the sunshine, it will
ignite IN fifteen minutes; and that It's
IGNITION, when left in tie shade after
such saru,ation, though slower pro-
cess, is hardly less certain. lie has
known several instances Of combustion
produced by the saturatipn O. raw cot
ton and cotton goods in oil, both when
afterwards thrown out into the sunshine
and when left in house. No doubt
there are other ight substances nearly
as liable Us cotton to take fire after con-
tact with oil. The terrible disaster at
Madison should put all persons on their
guard against accidents from the same
cause"

We witness without revolving. Unfaith-
full representatives may pile ON tie debt
and taxes, but the limit of forbearance
will be reached, and the voters, in their
turn, will have something to say. If
we 90 on as we have been going it will
not be long before we hear reputation
uttered as popular cry from one end of
the country tothe other. The party which
has brought upon the country these evils
and burdens will be driven from puwer,
and the one that will succced-it may
take short cut to relieve the people
of enormous taxation and throw all the

created the burdens. This, really. is

EPISCOPAL MISSIONS.

Church Chapel Sunday last, delivering
two spirited, eloquent and heart stirring
appeals in behalf of the cause of Mis-
sions within the Diocese of South Caro-

Church, especially in the low country,
under the ruthless hand of our chris
tiau invaders, 2annct we'll be conceived
The facts, carefully selected aud truth
fully, ,hUugh guardedly stated, present
scene of ruin and distress, sufficient
to move the cold heart of an atheist,
one would suppose; but diligently col
lated, they have vainly teen presented
to our; northern brethren, as an induce
ment, from their abundance, to spare a
= little, to restore what has been lost to
the Church by the desolations of their
armies. ''.' ...
! .Thcappcal is therefore, now addressed
to our own people, to give of our penury
tothe relief of the more destitute por-
tions ofthc diocese from which heretofore
the churches of the middle and upper
country we're accustomed, in their in-
fancy, to draw most largely and liber-
ally for their support. We are pleased
to learn that Mr.. TRApIER has met with
alibcrllrcspouse to his isappeals, here and
generally. 1t could not be otherwise,
when they are presented in that pccu.

PRoGREss OF TIE CUBAN REVOLT
rfoN.-It is rcpqsrd from Madrid that
Spain is. about td purchase some ,monl.
tors in this country for service against
Cuba. AS the insurgents have posses
sion of no seaports, monitors can be OF
little use in warning with them: A
new Captain General, either De Koda
or Isquierdo, is talked of, aud more
troops are to be scut forward to the
sever faithful isle"
The President has issued no warning
proclamation against the infractlon OF
neutrality; but he is making further dis
positions of naval vessels to prevent
expeditions from this country.
A writer in the Tribune, summing
up the actual progress and results OF
the rebellion so far, says:
"The Provisional Government OF
Cuba is at this moment master OF at
least three-ffths of the entire area OF
the island; it commands all the interior
lines of communication within this rev.
olutionized territory; it threatens the
control of the Spaniards over the re-
naming two-tifths it has confined the
troops operating against them chiefly to
the aboard and to the walls of tew
principal towns; it has an organized
semi military Government, whose au-
thority is readily and seriously respect
ed by the people; has to-day an army
of over forty thousand men in the field,
and could easily double that number Il
in possession of arms and proper equip
ments." Besides this, the revolution
has the value Of the moral SUPPORT
which emancipation gives, and this Is
worth something, since it extorted a
word of warm sympathy from the Mayor
Of New YORK, who, by the way, receives
an unmerciful overhauling from the
Day Book for his speech at the Cuban
meeting.
The insurrcction has also the sympa'
thy of all who dcprecate acts Of cruelty
and outrage. These ate authorized by
the proclamation oftl Captain General,
and are permitted to the volunteers
who take delight in punishing the Gu
bans. These volunteers come from the
scum of the city population, arc capa;;
bic of any degree Of trcachery and
cruelty. Slowly the Cubans are win
ming their way to consideration. Spain
has an immense task before her, with
uncertainty at home, and compelled. as
she is. to send rroops and mutations
across the sea. So far as this country
is concerned, We can commit no overt
.ot-4.---.ur .ur.ii7rrui pss~y-p4r-<t--s a. tl
neutrality. The Government atiirms
this policy. But Cuba, as far as sic
desires, an rccrive from US tn" expires
sion Of warm and interest d sympathy
and, with the work of independence
made cffectual. she will merit rccoSnl'
ton us M established nation.

aurora borealis occurred to night, being
the greatest since the electric storm in
1850. Broad bands of red and green
light, reaching from the east to the
western Horizon, as far south as the eye
could reach, we're visible, suddenly
changing into knots, which sent forth
broad rays in every direction. During
its continuance the Western Union
Telegraph Company worked lines from
this city to the western portion Of the

It is with feelings of sincere regret that
we announce the d,tah of Rev. Th mas
Z, English, which occurred on Sunday
last, at his residence in Salem.
He had attended the Pre>bytcry in
excellent health, but that evening, the
hand of death laid him low, and smit.
ten with apoplcxy, he left this world,
for the better land. For years he oc.
cupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian
Church, esteemed and vencrated BY
all -.. ....
1t was strange that on the same day
he officiated, he should have been called
away, while the words of prayer was
yet warm upon his lips, and fresh in
the memory Of his hearers. Our sy,bpa.
thies for his bcrcaved family are not
less, than for the Church which has
met with such loss, and it is to Him
alone who "docs not willingly afllict the
children of men," that all must look
for consolation. ,Samfcr Nems.
