Much of it is doubtless attributn- LOCAL ITEMS. liT Our merchants complain of ex traordinary dulness in businecs affairs, J Lie to the hard times; while a great deal of it probably proceeds from an indis position to work at reduced rates. It is said that fears of mob violence are en tertained among the wealthy classes,who daily contribute large amounts to re lieve the necessities of the poor. Per haps these people, who have heretofore been inflated with the idea of their great / superiority, will yet learn to respect the people of the South and their institu tions. Mr. Jefferson, or somebody else, once said—and if he did not, he ought tc have said it,for itis'true—that“$rreaf cities are great sores.” This fact is at times over looked by our people, who are much ad dicted to the practice of measuring their greatness by the size of towns ami cities —but now, when our large commercial and manufacturing emporiums are threat ened with destruction, and great mobs fill the streets with cries for bread, their “sober second thought” teaches them that the sparsely settled agricultural dis tricts of the Soutli and West—particular- 13’ those of the much-abused South—al though the “hard times” are much com plained of—enjoy a degree of comfort, prosperity and security, which the deni zens of these great cities cannot hope to find. Great revulsions in trade must always affect most seriously the great centres of trade and manufactures. Let those who live in the country, therefore, offer up daily thanksgiving for their hap py lot, and remember that the surest way to prevent the return of Monsieur “Hard Times” is to sow and plant abun dant grain crops—in order that, at all events, man and beast may be bounti fully provided for. fact is undeniable, that the town has been decidedly dull for some time past, and is likely to continue so until the cotton crop is sold and money circulates fretely once more. By the way, we wonder .that our up-country friends don’t seize upon th^opportunity now of fered of selling their products at high prices. Wheat, corn and oats now sell higher in this market than they have for many years past. fjp 3 Will the Georgia c< adjutors of the National Era rend and publish the following paragraph from the New York Herald—the editor of which is himself a foreigner, and not likely, there fore, to be prejudiced in favor of the Know-Nothings ?

We feel satisfied that we cannot repeat this ad vice too often. know Nothings of New England anti- slavery proclivities. In the first place the Know Nothing movement has already rendered substantial service to the Union by clearing away the wreck of the Ne braska agitation, and demolishing at one fe 1 blow the whole structure of the new anti-slavery party which was attempted to he established at Worcester, Saratoga, in Michigan and elsewhere. The re publican party, as the new faction was to have been called, was completely crushed out by the Know Nothings. From the first, the Know-Nothings have been opposed by the abolitionists, and are deadlj’ foes to Seward and his par ty. Again, as was seen by the papers, the Rev. Theodore Parker, the aboli tionist, was defeated by an enormous majority in the Boston Legislature; showing conclusively that the Know Nothings who are in power, in that State.aro not inclined to favor the anti- slavery party in New England. It is not to ba expected that mtn in Boston shall think on slavery as men in Carolina do. Brought up under a different sys tem and in a region where slavery can never thrive, the people of Massachusetts can hardly ever coincide exactly with the South in their views on the subject. But so long as they’ agree not to molest it, and give full scope to the provisions of the constitution, it is hard to see what good ground they afford for complaint, The South may rely on the soundness of the Know-Nothings. i n our hints to correspondents last week, we omitted to state an impor tant rule we have adopted, viz: to con sign to the flames all rejected articles.— A manuscript once sent to us becomes our property, and we have a right to dispose of it as we please. We have determined either to publish or burn all that we receive hereafter. We hope, by liiis means, to avoid being “ bored to death” concerning the return of reject ed contributions. Those, therefore, who do not like our rules will seek some oilier medium for giving their thoughts publicity. The U. S. Mail steam ship Pacific, Capt. Nye, arrived at New-York soon after nine o’clock on Thursday morning from Liverpool, which port she left at four o’clock on the afternoon of the 13th instant. She hauled off from Sandy Hook at five P. M., on the 24th instant, in a thick snow storm. With the improved hopes of peace, the Liverpool cotton market advance, again fell off, and once more rallied, closing firmly at &d. advance on the cur rent qualities of American ; sales of the week, 64,270 bales, including 5770 on speculation and 5180 for export. Breadstuffs, had beeu depressed, but closed more firmly, although the business was little more than retail. PROSPEC TS OF PEACE. The Eastern question has entered in to an entirely new phase. Price Gort- schakoff has announced to the Austrian Government that the Czar accepts not only the four points of ‘guarantee, but also the interpretation given to them by the three powers—England, France and Austria. But as no armistice is agreed to, hostilities will continue during the progress of negotiations, Sardinia has joined the Western alli ance. The conduct of Prussia and of the Germanic Strtes is still equivocal. This intelligence has much pleased the public mind throughout Europe. Its immediate effect was to raise the quota tions of Consols 2 per cent, But doubts are springing up fa*t Why has the Czar accepted terms which lie has declared ignominious and so, is the war then near its close? Is it not a des perate attempt to detach Austria from the Alliance? Or, finally, is it an arti fice to gain time to move those extraor dinary masses of troops he has collected into the Crimea, and thus drive the Al lies into the sea? Such are the ques. tions everywhere asked, but without any satisfactory reply.
