South Carolina has just had census,
which shows hat she has only e,3l4 more
people than in 1850; that there s1e fewer
white males by s, $50, and fewer black males
BY ll,slo; but that there are 9,so6 more
white aud 9, AGO more black women thRn in
1850. The up-country districts have all di-
minishcd in population, and the Charleston
and adjacent seacoast districts have in
creased, owing to tho tendency Of the
negroes to coneentrate for mutual protee-
ton in the counties In which they are
already most numerous. Should such =
tendency continue throughout the South,
it would result in an approximate fula!-
ment Of DeTocqusyillo's prediction Of thirty
yeazs ago, that some Of tho States Of the
South would come wholly under tho sway
Of black populations, leaving tho upland
States to the Whites.

prices is telling seriously on the business
OF our Wholesale merchants, They aro
still selling, but IN very small quantities.
Retailers are generally anticipating return
to ospecse payments, and . corresponding re-
cur1enoe to specie prices. Hence they arc
anxious not to be caught with large stocks
on hand, which thay.nust retail at loss.
They arc buying only from hand to mouth,
and working their stocks very low, whsn
