The South needs commercial pion* i rs. Commercial Conventions can do but little in diverting its trade from unna tural to natural channels. A few bold practical adventures of Southern merchants, would do more to effect the object desired than a thousand conven tions. How such enterprises should be conducted during the continuance of the blockade we do not. undertake to sug gest ; but if our people gii irantee to European vessels return cargoes we have no doubt the risk will be taken "even in Europe. The po’icy of England ami France to wards Mexico is intimately connected with this subject. Our trade may, dur ing the war, pass through Mexican ports. THE FINANCIAL CONI ITION OF THE STATE.

E Y E-W IT N ESS. From the Richmond Dispatch, 19. FSGllf NE%R HARPER*" 2 i RRA'. Official advices have been received at the War Depai tment of an attack, by Col. Turner Ashby, commanding a small force, with a superior body of the ene my, on Wednesday, the 161 h in.-t , at a place called Bolivar, contiguous to H.tr : tier’s Ferry. The Federals, numbering, j with subsequent reinforcements, from i 800 to 1,000 men, were sent over to ’ protect th ? transportation of grain from i zAshby, wilt: 500 men, 300 of whom were ■ militia, met and drove them back with i considerable slaughter. The action i commenced at eight o’clock in th" morn- ■ ing, ami terminated about eleven. It | is to be partietihii iy noted as the'first 1 in which the Virginia militia have b»’en engaged in a hand-to-hand encounter with the enemy, and he result reflects the highe.it credit upon that branch of the service. At a charge bayonets, they drove the Hessians before them, ; down the hill into the village of Har- ■ pel’s Ferry, at wl. ch point: in the pur suit they were checked by a detachment of artillery, supposed to have been Doubled.ty’s batt ry, stadoned on the Maryland Heights. Col. Ashby now i withdrew h s troops to a point behind ' the nil!, for the purpose of protecting I them from die shot and shell, which fell j thick ami fast around them, but fortu- I nately with little effect. The loss of Itte enemy in the engage | mem, as reported by a woman who as ; turw -.ids came out from Harper’s Ferry i and saw the dead carried away in wag ' ous, was at least titty or sixty, in ad<i;- ! lion to which our men captured twelve |or fourteen prisoners. Among the lat j ter are some Lhiion men, who had been • particularly busy in aiding th? Federals Iby means of signals. Our loss was one i killed (Zamper, of the Shenandoah mili ! tia,) and ten wounded —two supposed ; mortally. A painful incident attended this bril ’ li.ant affiir. Three meml.ers of the i Botts Greys, of «L ff rson County, who were at home on furlough, participated in the fight as volunteers, and two of the number wounded—one (name B 11 desperately, ami his life ;s despaired of. Col. .Ashby’s success would have been m ich greater but lor a luck ol cannon, and very few of the enemy would have left the field of battle, lie li id but one ; efficient, gun, and another improvised for the occasion -a t w-n y-four-p u ider 1 mounted on wagon wh vis, which, any i artillerist will readily concede, was i very difficult to manage. .Justice to ! this br ve and gallant officer d ‘mauds duit he sh mid 1 e amply siipplh d with every facility lor successful warfare, to increase his influence on that border as : a terror to the invaders By’ a curious ! coincidence, this light took place on the 1 second anniversary of the John Brown raid, and in the very locality of that no !

House' holders are allowed to retain each, one dog, but a penalty of twenty'dollars is imposed on the owner if his dog is con victed of killing a sheep. Hereafter there will be some chance for wool and mutton in Tennessee—for the farmers will not allow that law to remain a dead letter. In Georgia we estimate there are about three hundred thousand dogs; the bulk of them of no value in any capacity, except to bay the moon and make night hideous. The expense of feeding these dogs would make ample provision for many a poor soldier's fan ily, and they also prevent the rear" ing of about half a million sheep, which would cost little or nothing to feed diem, and nett (heir owners about one million dollars per annum in wool and meat, bo hos which are now so sadly needed, besides vastly improving the land upon which they graze. I i’lie question is now, whether dogs I are so inseparable to onr habits and internal policy that an unlimited sup ply must be maintained at this expense and sacrifice; or will the Legislature put in force a vigorous enactment by winch planters ami fa; mors can main tain their flocks from depred iti m and destruction. v Ve know several plan ters who have been compelled to aban don sheep raising on account of the dogs, ami tell us it is mere folly and waste of time and pains to attempt the business, un il the dogs, are abated in some way.
