Direct Teade with Feahce.—The Nor

made by the Merchants' and Mechanics'
Exchange of that city some eighteen
months ago, to socond the good offices
tendered by Mr. Edward Lecoutnre to
open a direct trade between St. Nusoire
end Norfolk, has, through tha intelligence,
perseverance and influence of that gentle
man, been brought to a practical demon
stration. A “ pioneer" vessel ia now on
its way with a cargo, and is expected to
arrive about tha 25th of this month.
An Inland Sea.—The San Francisco
Alta California newspaper says, on the

Hickman,Jof Pennsylvania, having referred

the event of continued aggressions upon
the South, a Southern member aBked how
it was to be prevented f Mr. Hickman re
plied, that “ eighteen millions of freemen
wilt always he ready to rope with eight mil
lions without auxiliaries." This, remarks
the Richmond Despatch, is Webb’s threat
to“whip the South,” indifferent language,
and fa lie tone of other Slack Republican
Isadora. Tha South should not deign tore-
ply to those menaces in words. J,et her or
ganize her power, and above ell manufac
ture for (teraeif. Associations to cut loose
trom the products of Northern industry
ought to be formed in every city and coun
ty of tlta State and of the wholo South.
What can Riqhmond do, .if other Virginia
cities do not act in concert with her 7 What
can Virginia do unless the whole South
forms similar associations ? Oh, that some
Patrick Henry would arise, to traverse
every Southern State, and with trumpet
tones rouse the people to litis peaceful and
indispensable measure ol protection and in
dependence ! ^ t
A Caroo of Africans.—The Sea Coast
Democrat, published at Mississippi City,

ent month. They wifi, if they arrive safe,
be landed without any attempt at aecracy;
the consignees trusting to the sentiment
predominant in Mississippi aa to the ne
cessity oi increasing the number of labor
ers, for a triumphant acquittal in tho event
of a Government prosecution.

Anti-Abolition Pledge.—Matty of the
busineas mon of Richmond, Va., have
signed a pledge, In which they propose, in
their dealings with Northerners, to draw a
distinction between abolitionists and those
who, although opposed to slavery, make
no attacks nor offer any insults to tha
South. The main points of the pledge are
aa follows:
We, the undersigned, citixens of Rich
mond, and others, resolve and agree, one
with another, under no eireumstancea and
through no temptation of profit, to sail,
buy Irom, deal with, or employ, knowingly,
from thir time forward, any person known
or generally reputed to be an abolitionist';
or knowingly to buy from any person
whatever goods of 'any kind, known or
believed to be manufactured by, purchased
Irom, or belonging to, wholly or in part,
any one so esteemed ; and to direct our
agents and factors everywhere throughout
the Union to have no dealings, on our ac
count, with any such persons, or in any
such goods, except that this agreement
shall not embrace tho sale or purchase of
such above described goods as are now on
hand, nr wore actually ordered before the
date of this agreement.
They recommend the citizens of all the
alavcholding States lo make similar rr
solves, and to adopt measures to ascertain
who uro and who are not abolitionists.
Release of Myees.—Mr. EphreimJWy
ere, of Frederick county, Md., recently
convicted at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, of kid
napping certain “tree" colored persona
from that State, was released from im
prisonment, on Monday last, upon his per
aonal recognizance, and has returned to hia
home. The Frederick Examiner says:
This form of release is equivalent lo an
acquittal, and ia bolter than a pardon, since
it releases him from the costs of the prose
cution. The petition for freedom, filed by
the negroes ir, question, ia tho Circuit
Court ior this county, has been dismissed,
and they have since been sold aa slaves
under the previous order of the Orphan's
Court. The difficulty arising from a con
flict of laws and jurisdiction in this oase,
between the courts of Maryland and Penn
sylvania, iathuaJtappilyjsBltled^
An Abolitionist Tarred and Feather
ed in Russel County.—A correspondent
of the Tazewell Advocate, writing from
Hanaonville, Ruaaeli county, Va., Nov.'27,
gives the subjoined account of a recent
transaction in that county:
Thors has been a man in this neighbor
hood for several dava, who says hia name
ia Fred. Smith, and said that he had been
doing business at the Salt Works, but waa
then on his way to Kentucky. He waa
seen lurking about in this neighborhood
talking to slaves and (red negroes, when in
the field at their work. One of the ne
groes said that he (Smith) asked him if he
did not wish to be a free man and make
money for himself, and go with him. About
dusk yesterday evening, (Saturday,) this
fellow was seen to laavo Hanaonvilia,going
West on the turnpike. The neighbors
were informed of the fact. Six or eight ol
the belt citizens started in pursuit of him.
We had not gone more than three-fourths
of a mile when we found the ecamp in con
versation with two aiaves and one free ne
gro. We captured all of them. We wera
perfectly satisfied aa to hia guilt. We sent
back in post haste to Mr. Samplers’ store,
to buy a new coat of tar and feathers. Aa
soon as it came lo hand, ws put ft on the
fellow without much difficulty. It waa
quire a good fit, at least it looked so by a
torch light. Wa then placed him upon a
rail, with the two slaves on each aids with
a hickfiry switch in hand, whieb they ap
plied to hia back quite freely. Ha begged
manfully, and promised never to show his
face in Virginia again. Wa 1st him go
and have uot heard from the abolition
scamp since.
cratio party of tho State now at tha Capl
tal, deem It their duty to address to you a
few words. About the tints tha Legisla
ture convened, tha Ezecutivo Committee
waa called upon by severnl Democratic
nepers ol the State, among which were
tba Times ol Columbus, the Constitution-
aliat of Augusta, and the Federal Union
of this city, urging them to designate a
day for the meeting ol the State Conven
tion, and to fix that day nfter the adjourn
ment of the Legislature. In compliance,
with this request, which they had the
right to regard aa the unbiassed will oj the
people, and with our own convictions of
duty, the meiubora of the Committee were
summoned lo meet in this place on the
first Wednesday alter the opening ot tho
session. Three only attended, Col. W.
K. DeUralfenreid and the undersigned.—
Dr. 8. W. Burney, by letter, authorized
tho undersigned to represent him. The
two other members ot tho Committee,
Cot. T. P. Safli'ld and Col. A. J. Lane,
being absent front their homes, aa they
subsequently inlormod us, did not receive
the notice in lime to attend the meeting of
tha Committee. At the meeting Col. De-
Uraflenreid insisted that the Convention
ahould be held during the session ol the
Legislature, tha undersigned that it should
ba postponed till February or March.—
After several intarviewa helween Col. D.
and tha undersigned, not being able to
harmonize, it waa agreed that lie and we
should each address the absentees, and
that their votes ahould determine the
question at issue between us. In the
interim Dr. Burney visited the city, fully
concurred with us in our views, and re
newed tha authority ho had previously
given us, to act fur him. The other
absentees, Cola. Safiord and Lane, by let
ter, though preferring a atill more distant
day, concurred in that we had designated.
So soon aa we were authorized by a ma
jority to act for the Committee (and that
waa on the day that notice waa given lor
the meeting ol the Democratic meinbars ot
tho Legislature to tako tha same subject
into consideration,) the card was prepared
calling tho;Convention on the 2d Wednes
day in March, and the next day placedAu
the hands of the Editors of the Federul
Union for publication. That the propos
ed action of the Committee might not be
misunderstood, their card fixing the day
waa publicly ‘read at the meeting of the
members of the Legislature which hxed an
other day.
It ia not improper that we should ad-
vert to the reasons that induced us lo fix
upon the mors distant day lor the meeting
of the Convention. Prominent entting
these are—
1. That this course had been insisted
upon by all the Democratic prints of the
State, that had noticed tho subject at all.
2. That tho expected limiiod limo ol
the session, formerly front three to four
months, now only forty days, would noi
afford opportuniiy for primary meetings in
distant counties to hold their conventions
anil elect and send their delegates.
3. That the Democracy of tho State in
Convention assembled, who had appointed
us to represent them’in this matter, had a
right to demand of ua tlmt we ahould not
enact the ridiculous larce of summoning
them to n convontion whoso proceedings
would be cloned before, by any poaaioility,
large numbers of them could have an op
portunity of participating in these pro
ceedings.
4. The peculiar exigencies of the times,
an election tbe most important to Georgia
she hss ever been called upon to partici-
pate in, demanded that her democracy
should have a full and fair opportunity of
expressing their unbiassed opinion with
regard to the nominees lo bs 'selected for
the Presidency and Vice-Presidency at the
Charleston Convention.
5. The developments that would take
place by tho first of March, it was sup
posed, might concentrate tho Democratic
sentiment upon the nominees to be se
lected at Charleston, and enabla the De
mocracy of the State to act with greater
harmony than could he expected at an
earlier day.
It ia known that a convention, inaugura
ted by tbe Democratic members of the
Legislature, convened after twenty days
notice, and composed for the most part of
members of that body, haa already been
held, and that it haa appointed delegates to
represent the Democracy ot the State in
the National Convention to be held in the
city o! Charleston in tbe month ol Aptll.—
It (a no part of our duty either to affirm or
repudiate the action of that body. This ie
ifie.pruvince of the masses of the Demo
crattc party, scattered over the State,
they approve or acquieace in the aotiott ol
that body, no other Convention ia noces-
aary. If they do not, all they have to do
is, in their primary aaaembliee, their county
meotinga, to select and send delegates to a
Convention at Milledgeville on the second
Wednesday in March next, in pursuance

An Omen ot Evil.—The Waehinglon
correspondent of the New York Exprtis
mentions this fact t. { ,
While discord and confusion prevailed
upon the Door oi the House, and threats of
diauniou ware (reefy uttered, and ths seeds
ol disunion unsparingly sown, I stepped
out, and, aa my eye turned upward to look
upon the-atars and stripes that are a ways
floating over both the Senate and tha
House, when in session, I discovered that
tha House flag was rent from end in end.
and that the two parts into which it wae
severed wero flying in tbe breexe altogether
independent and irrespective of each other!
In spite of myself, the coincidence of that
dissevering of our national banner and that
aversion ol its parts, each from the other,
with the sights snd sounds landing to, and
even contemplating disunion in the Halt
beneath, stirred in me sadness of feeling,
as if some great national evil was surely
foreboded.
