| In the fir8t ftUemptM of this Company to meet
] the wants of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
' ships froni New York to Chngres, they were pre*
| vailed upon, at. the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desirous to go out, to sell tickets for
! through passages from Panama in advance, for
i their ships then going round. This was done
I from a desire to accommodate those who could
I procure passages in no other quarter, and by
I which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reuch San Francisco sooner than by any
i other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the prevalence
of fever at Rio de Janeiro ut the titue, prej
vented their ships from reaching Panama us soon
I us anticipated, and caused detention ut the Isthmus,
which was increased by the impatience of
' passengers in going forward, against the advice
! of the Company, at an earlier day tluin the ship
j could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now nil removed.
Three of the four ships of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to tjmn

Destruction of the lloll Woriu.
Dear Sir:?! left home with the. intention of
ittending, on my nay home, the Agricultural i
<\iir at Atlanta, but on ray arrival here I learned
here was no public conveyance in that direction,
o I shall be compelled to forego that pleasure.
I have just returned from Badon Springs in
his State wheA I saw planters from Perry,
ilarengo, Dallas, and other counties of this State,
,nd Mississippi, all of whom represent the pre- J
ent growing crop of cotton as being at lenst
wo weeks behind that of last year. This has
ieen produced from several causes. First, the
arl\j planting was greatly returted in growth by
he cold wet spring, an insect; the late planting,
good deal of which w as in May, and some in
line, has not had time to develop itself. The
ains in the early part of July gave great im etus
to its growth, but with little tendency to
rectify; as they became more moderate the
ruit began to develop itself, and the hope whs
icing entertained that a pretty fair crop might
;et be made. More recently, and at this writing,
ve are suffering from a drought of four weeks,
if the most intensely hot weather that I ever
experienced. From the 10th tiny of July to this
ime, the thermometer has ranged from 92 to 9ti I
log. from9 a. m. to 6 p, m. without rain enough
o settle the dust in this whole section of coiiury,
with the exception of one or two isolated
mots. Previous to this drouirht the vouiif eron
ind most of the old li id become exceeding!!
oul, and theploug aid hoe luive been indispens
b!e in removing the grass, weeds, &c, vvhicl
t this season of the year under the existing
Irought lias been (juite injurious to the crop
arising it to wither and east its fruits. In th<
neantiine the Doll Worm lias commenced it
uvagos, and can now be traced to bolls twoliirds
gvown. The dry weather is thought to
>e unfavorable to their increase, yet many planers
are engaged in endeavoring to kill the Flv
.hut deposits tlie egg. The plan is a novel one and
is it is like y to prove successful I II mention it
Plates (either tin or earthern) are distributed
liroughout the fields, by being placed on stakes
>r stubs the height of the cotton, one to even
wo <* three acres, some say five, but it is clem
hat the thicker they are the better. In these
dates a mixure of Molasses and Vinegar is put
?say to one gallon of the former, and one quart
if the latter. It is believed that it is the viuegni
hat attracts them, and whilst they are atteiuptng
to feed upon tlie mixture they are caught
jy the adhesive quality of the molasses. I nslistcd
last evening in setting about twent y plates:
his inorning they averaged over thirty tlies to
he plate. We added a little cobalt to several
)f the plates, supposing some might partake ol
the bait w ithout being caught; we saw 110 difl'erenco
so far as the surrounding dead was eon:erned.
To day we are setting baits ever the
intire ero[>, 130 acres here, and 000 acres on
two other plantations. The unparalleled success
with all have met with who have tried it.
ius brought into requisition every pinto and
tinner throughout the country. The fields are
itcrnlly swarming with (lies, making their apnuiranee
about sun set, and closing in, 1 suppose
diout sun rise. The plan must succeed in exijrmm.'if

1 will close this by remarking that t>" crops
frotn Columbus here, as far as I have 'f en or
have been able to learn, is far from promising n
large yield. The stand is universally imperfect,
ana many crops have not more than thr -n.fourths
of a good stand.

through committee, or otherwise, as to the
prosperity of the crops?as nothing can he inore
uncertain?whilst it might to some extent mislead

The Southern Convention.?What will the
Southern Convention upon its reassembling do !
We aionot prepared to say, nor do we feel like
presuming upon advice. But as 30 do to the Pacific
was before laid down as an ultimatum, we
suppose tbey will recommend still contending for
that?iu what way we are to contend we are
perfectly willing to leave to them. We hope,
however to see n good attendance, and that they
a ill be quite as determined as before, arousing
attention to the enormity of the iniquity sinned
in the passage of toe recent acts.
So far as legislation goes we are whipped?
shamefully scourged; lying flat on our backs.
we are merely resting a spell from our stripes.
Numbers are congratulating themselves upon
peace?upon the fact that the lash is laid by for
iwhile, and calling upon craven spirits like their
own to rejoice over the temporary cessation ot |
hostilities. Like couiards we ought to be joyous j
and glad that we have a respite from the threshing
the North has been giving us. Let us be cool,
say they, let us not defend ourselves, but let us
be obedient in the household of the Union, and
if do get threshed occasionally it makes us feel
good when it stops.
Tiic advice of the traitorous cowards at the
South, who prate about peace and union, remind
us tiie advice our sago grand mother used
to {five us: "It is better," she said, "to rim like
i ln.iii tluin to stand and be whipped like a do#." !
What, v lid we, if one gets insulted I '-Oh, it's j
better," says she, "to take an insult like a man j
lban to get yourself into a difficulty.*' Just the
nay with the subrnissioueits: tiiey think it man>j
to take all the insult and wrong the .North
tuny be disposed to heap upon us.
the Southern Convention we wish to do j
loioething that will unite at least the true
Southerners, and teach traitors at home and
monies abroad,that we shall no longer be trod-1

ailed hastily yesterday afternoon, was held a*.

Lindolpli addressed the meeting, 'i'hey delouneed

The Southkb* Remedy.?An unavoidable I
absence ot' two weeks has hitherto prevented us I
from expressing our views more fully, than wo I
did on a former occasion, upon this momentu- I
ous subject?rendered still more important bv I
recent transactions in Congress. NVe deem it I
our duty to refer to it again, that we may assist- I
to the extent of our humble abilities, in the for, I
mition of a correct public opinion with respect, I
to the fearful crisis that is now before the poo- I
pic of the South:?witli respect to the grievous I
wrongs and aggressions that have been perpetra- I
ted upon their rights and their property, and I
the measure of resistance that should be adop- I
It will be remembered, we expressed ibeopi* I

friends of the South?social non-intercourse? I

by the misuhoviou* tolly of some of our own I
people. \\ r will ftuMw one other pt to, w bleh I
uurt been auggis'ed by Home, of correcting the I
popular sentiment and feelings of the North, I
mil thereby securing a proper observance of our ?
constitutional rights. We allude to commercial
non-intercourse.
How desirable soever it may be?and it is esI
pccially desirable in the present posture of affairs?to
Ireo ourselves from the connnerci.il
shackles that letter our energies and cripple our
resources, and to touch the North that she is
mainly, if not wholly,dependent upon the Smith
or all her commercial greatness, agricultural .
rosperity and success in manufactures, jet the
whole scheme cannot be wrought out nor made
fFcctual as a measure of redress in a day. It i
is true we can make a beginning in this great
work of disenthralmciit, ana indeed we have already
made considerable progress towards it.?
but time alone can effect this desirable, this
mighty change in the commercial relations that
subsist between the two sections, it will rejuire
long years of assiduous toil, and untiling
energy to accomplish the end in view. So few
-iiiparatively are the facilities of trade posses- ^
(1 by the metropolitan cities of the South, so
indirect is the commercial intercourse between i
Hem and the markets of Europe, so few and
feeble?though worthy of all encouragement?
are our infant manufactures, that our merchants
ire, in some degree, compelled to repair to Philadelphia,
New York and Hoston for many of
their supplies. Besides, were the Southern
merchants to make their purchases exclusively
in Charleston, Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans,
there are so many of the mercantile
houses in these cities that are mere branches of
similar establishments in Northern cities, thnt
even in that event the North would obtain the
principal share of the benefits of such trade.
There is still another objection to this scheme
of commercial non-intercourse. If it were carried
into full operation, it would have a reflex
influence upon the South. Were wo to refuse,
in our present state of unpreparedness, to purchase
the manufactures of the Northern people, ?
and to withhold from them, their usual supplies
of cotton, rice, sugar and tobacco, the injuries
resulting from the suspension or destruction of
a,,..I, .nnf....! - J'-'* -,J
lutu 1UUIII.II unci v Iiiin^r Ul tUIIIIflUUlU'^ WUllttl
not ho confined to them; those injuries would '
| recoil upon the South. And, if the present /><>- r a
UiiraL relations continue to exist between the jn
two sections, we would soon be as ready as tbey
to renew the suspended commercial relations,
l'he exigencies of the times perhaps require that,
our people should make such a sacrifice as that
demanded by this scheme of non-intercourse.
And there can be no doubt too that they could
withstand the shock consequent upon the commercial
revulsion, much better than the people
of the North ; for, upon the existence and continuance
of the present commercial relations, the
whole social fabric of the Northern States is
based. But the sacrifice would be followed by
injuries to ourselves, that would more than counterbalance
the benefits.
The chief objection, however, is the one alluded
to in the first part of this article. What
we want is not only an effectual means of bringing
the Northern people to their senses, and of
securing our institutions from their aggressions,
but an immediately effectual means. A remedy,
that depends upon the slow, though sure., o >era- tious
of time, is not the remedy that is di n>a ded
by the necessities of our ease?is not suited to
the crisis which is now at hand. Jt must be
sudden, as well as complete, to bo efficient in
accomplishing the salvation of the South from
the doom of deep degradation that now threatens
I to befall her.
We would by no means be understood as tin
derrating the importance and expediency of social
and commercial non-intercourse. To touch
the pockets of the Northern people?to withhold
the millions of dollars that are wont annually to
(low into them from the South, is a very powerful
way of teaching them good manners,?of
teaching them their dependence upon us, and
would he etVectual in securing our peculiar institutions,
to some degreo at least, from their
depredations, it it could be adopted and carried
our immediately. But these remedies at best, are
mere expedients that can have no other effect than
to postpone the final issue. Tha issue is secession
and independence on the one hand, or submission
and consequent political degradation on the other.
To this complexion it must come at I ist. Sooner
or later, the slaveliolding States of the South
will he forced to make choice of one or the other
alternative. The alternatives are placed before them
now. But were they even to tamely neqnief.ce
in the degrading measures of spoliation
and outrage that have been already enacted by
a reckless majority in Congress, even if the tide
of aggression should ha stopped for a while by
the means proposed, they will lie finally driven
| from their position of non-resistance. Other
schemes for the overthrow of the institution of
| slavery will he devised and perpetrated; and,
unless by submitting now they should lose all
spirit of resistance.?which is greatly-to be apprehended?they
will, as sure as time rolls on,
he driven to a separation from the North.
It is not. for us to say what course the Southern
States will pursue in the present emergency.
But we cannot forbear to express the opinion
that secession is the only means of redress and
security that is now left to them, and we will indulge
t!ie hope that they will exercise this sovereign
right. Political non-intercourse will he
uecessnrilv followed bv social and commercial
non-intercourse, and whatever advantages would
result iroin the adoption of the two last mentioned
measures of resistance, nil of them and
more and far greater advantages would follow
the adoption of the first.?The Southern Convention
will again shortly moot together. Wo
have 01 tire confidence in the prudence, wisdom,
patriotism and fore-sight of t'10 men who will
compose that august assemblage, and that whatever
measures ni:i\ l?e adopted by their judgments
and deliberations, will be for the honor
and welfare of the South. But were we of the
number of those into whose hands the institu
tions of our people, their present welfare and
' future destinies were directly confided, we could
j not aopiit ourselves of the fearful trust, unless
no counseled secession?not temporary secession,
but final and absolute secession, ns the,
only means of securing and perpetuating our
liberties and domestic institutions. This is the
only adequate remedy for the wrongs of the
South, the only immediate!v effectual remedy
the only complete remedv.
