And oh! where'er his footsteps turn, Whatever stars above him burn, Though dwelling where a Yankee's name Is coupled with reproach or shame, Still true to his New England birth, Still faithful to his home and hearth, Even 'midst the scornful stranger band His boast shall be of Yankee land. What State Street said to South Carolina, and what South Carolina said to State Street. [Published in The National Era, May 22, 1851.] Muttering ‘fine upland staple,’ prime ‘Sea Island finer,’ With cotton bales pictured on either retina, ‘Your pardon!’ said State Street to South Carolina; “We feel and acknowledge your laws are diviner Than any promulgated by the thunders of Sinai! Sorely pricked in the sensitive conscience of business We own and repent of our sins of remissness: Our honor we've yielded, our words we have swallowed; And quenching the lights which our forefathers followed, And turning from graves by their memories hallowed, With teeth on ball-car

The United States has no competition in the production of Sea Island cotton, all of which is sent to England and the Continent, where it is transformed into fine muslins, laces, &c.; one pound of this staple, after being spun into No. 400 and upwards, and converted into fine lace ready for market, in some cases is worth $10

Compliments of the season. --The British ship Sir Allen McNab, Capt. Chapman, forty days from Liverpool, consigned to Messrs. Gibbs & Co., arrived yesterday forenoon, In tow of the steamer Gordon. Upon nearing Fort Sumter the Captain brought out his light artillery and saluted the Confederate flag now waving over the fort. Immediately the commanding officer returned the compliment with a royal salute. Of course there was nothing political in the salute on either side. Our friend, the Captain, was glad to get into port, and the gallant commander at Sumter only look this way of letting the new comer know that freight on cotton was penny-half-penny for Uplands, and two pence half-penny for Sea Island.--Charleston Mercury, 16th.
The Daily Dispatch: September 12, 1861., [Electronic resource], Deep submarine Diving. (search)
Deep submarine Diving. --At attempt to recover the schooner Neptune's Bride, which foundered off Sea Island in November last, was made a few days ago. The exact location of the wreck being discovered, a diver clad in submarine armor went down in twenty-five fathoms, (or one hundred and fifty feet,) of water, but found that the vessel had gone to pieces. This is acknowledged to be the deepest water that the submarine armor has been used in, either in this country or in England. Mr. David Agnew, of Boston, who made the decent, says: "The pressure of air on the head in this depth is five degrees more than on the surface. This is considerably more than I ever experienced on Long wharf, or at any other place, although I must say that, during the two hours and three-quarters that I was down, I felt equally as comfortable as when in ten fathoms."

wn. Destruction of sea Island cotton. The Columbia (S. C.) Carolinian publishes the following interesting extract from a private letter: Edisto Island is nearly laid in ruins. Mr. J. J. Mikell, Mrs. Hopkinson, and Mr. I. Legare, have all burned their entire crops, negro houses, barns, &c., and, at a meeting of the planters, this has been universally determined on. The same spirit actuates the owners of all the Sea Island plantations. I fully expect to hear that the entire Sea Island crop of this State will meet a similar fate. None will be saved, for all is in the fields or gin houses; thus twenty thousand bales, the product of this State, amounting to two millions five hundred thousand dollars, will be destroyed by the hands of the prprietors themselves, rather than it shall fall into the possession of our vandal enemies, and I have no reason to believe that Georgia will pursue any other course. Her people are as noble and as self-sacrificing as ours. The Sea

he Treasury during the war will require the tariff to be so shaped as to produce the greatest possible amount of income. A large incidental protection to American manufactures will of course be the consequence. Upon the vital question of war, Secretary Chase will fully develop the theory that slaves in rebel States should be employed to raise cotton, sugar, rice, and tobacco, for Government account. This policy has already been established by Cameron in regard to ungathered and unpinned Sea Island cotton in Beaufort. The nation will heartily approve the commendation of Chase to Congress as a wiser disposition of slaves than to leave them in the rear of the army, roaming at large, pillaging and marauding. It is a new form of emancipation, but an effective one. Of the other reports nothing positive is known, nor of the President's message. The statistical portions of the reports are now in the hands of the printers. [The foregoing extracts from the New York Tribune is a f
