Courier-Journal.] We ate permitted to publish a let ter from Messrs. John ?. Wheiere & Co., prominent cotton buyers at Nash ville, Tenn., giving the reasons why Nashville can ship no cotton to Char leston at present, lu ihe latter- city cotton baled with flax bagging has been received without discrimination heretofore, but., according to a resolu tion ot' the local Cotton Exchaug?, a dockage is to be applied alter (Jeto ber 1st. The reasons given MIC for cible and conclusive. Mr. Whehsa, the senior member of the firm of J. F. W. & Co., is widely known in rot ton circles, both asa merchant and i.s a member of the Executive Co/JUeiJ uf the National Cotton Exchange. The letter reads as follows: NASHVILLE, Sept. 21, 1878. Messrs. Geo. IT" ' Williams ? Co., Charleston, S C. : DEAR Sins-Your esteemed favor of the Hrh inst to hand, and duly neted. We would lave been glad to have done considera! le business with your market ou cotton, but the dis C)-*iminatK-'j there against ll ix bag ging y, ?il effectually sjiut n-' "Ut, toat dr s-.-ription ot bagging is mostly used in ibis section. We regret lh -I >:uch is the case, and ure compelled to confess our inability t; compre hem! the action of the Ch illiston market. Tho movement evidently originat ??1 with the jute bagging man ufacturers ol the East, wlu were un able to fairly Compete with the Wes tern bagging. That Ult e tenths or ninety five hundredths of the iT*x bagging is not any moie obje tiona bie to spinners than jute is clearly proven by the positive declaration ol nearly ali the ?Southern cotton spin ticts, and the entire ab once of any comjd,iint?_f:oin Em opean spinners; although milllOl?S ~VT"O?riri? o: luuuTr have been cons ti mu i ih-re coverpd with fljUfe bagging. Tim u?tiiti <e/j ?outh rn martjps is the c?< r-j sur prising, when it must be clear :o eve ry one thal if the jute bagging man ufacturers are successful in their un just and unreasonable war, they will be ab e to dictate their own prices foi bagging, and will inevitably compel the cott n plant?is, to pay mern enor mous prices, thus imposing ai'pther gnevous burden in addition lo those ihey now luve lo contend with, and for their protection we feel it to be the duty of Southern merchants to earnestly resist the movement c.iicu latad to establish a monopoly ii. bag ging th.it will be abie to force mill ions of dollars yearly from the al ready impoverished plant?is uf the South: if the merchants are cot ac tive in protecting their planting friends, they will soon comprehend the situation, and, moved by self in terest and a sense of wrong, will re sent it in a way that ?iii undoubtc 1 ly recoil upon the originators of the movement, and instead of establish ing a monopoly, they will fiud lesa demand tor their bagging, for every planter in the South wno understands his own inter?s'.-- will lebuke this ef fort to f?ne fi om h.ni exorbitant prices for jute bagging, and will here after give preference to the (lax bag ging. This courte would not only be wise but patiiotic, for in doing so they will assist in sustaining II great industrial intel pst of our country, which will keep bagging at a reas in able price; but the success of tho jute bagging manufactur?is will be he destruction of that interest, and the building up of the jute interest which is an article of foreign growth. And it is not extraordinary ilivt thu merchants ol the South eh mk! set an example which, if followed by En glish spinners, would build up Brit ish interest3 at the expense of South ern pl an te: ii '?!

Alojt three years t>i>viotti to this time Dr. Fuller had joined the Epis copal Church. Finding the teach ings of his parents (who were J'up tis'.L?) to be in accordance with the' ivord of God, he insisted on being immersed when he became an Episco palian. But though duly baptized and a regular church member, he did not believe that he became a Chris tian until the revival under thc min- : isl ry of Dr. Baker. The voice which called him into thft Kingdom of God also summoned i him to the work of the Gospel minis- ! try.

Would you feign return to God? The way is open-Christ hast rent the veil. The path is sprinkled with blood-it is now safe for a sinner to draw near to God through that now and living way ; it ia now righteous in God to forgive and receive every . in'icr thus returning ; God bids yon return thu?:-why doubt then ? Hesi tate no moro. But, 1 am unfit lo come Granted, if yon uiorj not unfit to come there would nave been no necessity why Christ should die. Because you can not help yourself He came, in his in finite pity, to help von. It is just beca ns i of your unfitness that Christ oilers to you a free salvation. But know lhi>, sinner, that your very un lit nc.?-s conflitutes your litness to come to.Jesus. Your sinfulness and hope le.-sness are your lrne>t, strongest pleas. You are to come just as you are, with all your infirmities and .-ins cleaving to you. He has infinite mercy-doubt no more. Where shall I find war ants for coming to God with so much sin cleaving to me ? Open your Bible; find, if yon can, any reasou for Fay ing away. God's Word is just a mer ige to yoa to come to Him aa a poor sinner needing panton and'life. I'Vim first to lust it is this. The con Irovorsy I hat God has with your soul isthat you will not come. "The Spirit and the Bride say, Come; and let him that heareth say, Come ; and let lum that is athirst, Come ; and whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely." But m-ay I come now ? Yes, now 1 " All things are ready." There is no greater delusion' and no greater peril than in fancying that you will come at a lui tu o t me. " Putting off for a little" is the . devil's plan, not Cod's. Satan suggests to morrow; God says, to-day ! To-morrow your heart may be birder than it is to day ; to morrow the Spirit may have ceased lo strive with you ; to morrow is another world; to-morrow you may be wrapped in your winding-?heet, aud ready tor your u?mo.
