Fear* of tlit- Norik.
A writer in the Philadelphia Ledg
er, alluding to the anti-slavery eru
•ade, thus seta forth hin own opiniou,
and that of many conservative peo
ple at the North:
It is my firm conviction that there
is such a thing as straining the cord
which binds the North and South to-
S 'her until it will snap asunder. —
ere is a point beyond which en
durance cannot go. Suppose the
Southerners should take it into their
heads that we of the North arc op
pressing our factory operatives, and
that, in the exercise of a misguided
philanthropy, they* should send a
band of marauders to release those
children of toil; that they should in*
cite them to burn our houses, ravish
our wives and daughters, butcher our
children, and murder ourselves; sup
pose that, this having been attempt
ed the newspapers oftheSouth should
palliate or approve of the movement,
and that thousands should be
bled in their cities to hear the leader
of the marauders eulogised, and that
those thousands should receive the
most atrocious sentiments with the
most enthusiastic applause; suppose
these things were so, would you lie
surprised if we ofthe North should
say to the South, “Gentlemen, this
thing has been carried full as far as it
can go ; and if you invade our rights
in this fashion, there is but one al
ternative, and that is, that we dis
solve a Union which is no longer a
Union but in name.” Would such a
course not he natural? Might it not
be necessary and proper? I think
the North ought to begin to look at
the subject in its true bearings.
As to the South not being able to
maintain a separate existence—why
not ? Have they not all the great
staples—cotton, sugar, tobacco, hemp
and wheat? And have they not
boundless facilities for manufactur
ing? Might not a direct trade with
England be greatly to their pecunia
ry advantage, in as much as they
could dispense with a tariff and en
joy free trade ? Get us not cry “no
danger,” when their is danger.
Sitferixu at the North. —The
late excitement, and the consequent
withdrawal of Southern orders, are
causing no little suffering at the
North among mechanics and opera
tives in the various factories. A
large number of hands, especially in
the New England States, have al
ready been discharged, and others
will soon be thrown out of employ
ment.
The (’h el sea (Mass.) Herald re
ports dull times there, “the best car
penter being glad to get work at
91.25 per day, and good workmen
commanding only* 75 cents. Paint
ers, it is said, will not average 50
cents a day* during the winter; ship
carpenters are out of employ, and
masons have gone into the country.”
The Journal of Commerce adds, that
Northern mechanics and manufac
turing artizansare preparing in great
numbers to move to the South, there
to follow their respective trades
Discharge or Operatives.- -We
understand that over one hundred
hands have recently been discharged
from one of our largest manufactories,
in consequence of orders from the
South having been countermanded.
The factory has been in very success
ttil operation for six or ebdit years
past, doing a very extensive business,
the major portion of which is with
the South. It is also very probable
some fifty* men will have to be dis
charged shortly, if there is not an
end to the slavery agitation now go
ing on, both North and South, there
not being work enough to keep them
employed, even at reduced wages.—
This factory, when in full operation,
furnishes employment for some four
or five hundred men.— Philadelphia

Tin- New York eormqHmdent of
Charleston Mercury, under date of
December 22d, says:
The papers don't like to publish
the distress which is caused here by
the purtiai withdrawal of southern
trade. It is felt not only by all houses
which have heretofore done their
main business with the South, but
by all the trading interests ofthe
city, to a greater or less extent.--
Such arc the mutual relations and
interdependencies of business, that
when one part of our commercial
body sutlers, all the other parts are
sympathetically affected. The man
utacturing jewelers have been great
losers. Their principal trade is with
the South, and the winter is their har
vest season. 3lost of the travelling
agents who make sales for them are
old stagers, have travelled in the
South for years, are extensively and
favorably known there, and to them
personally no possible objection is
entertained by Southerners, (such is
the story that reaches us;’ but the
South objects to patronise northern
manufacturers, because*, in doing so,
she naturally suspects that she is on
ly contributing to the strength and
the provisioning of the Abolition
fortress. I know of one very popu
lar jewelry agent, who in former
years sold his fifty thousand dollars
worth of goods South in the winter
months, who was not able to pay bis
ex)>euses this year, and after a hasty
tour through the principal southern
cities, returned to New York in de
spair. This is the history of all the
jewel-selling expeditions from the
North this winter; and the dealers
who have formerly relied on the
southern trade, talk of clubing to
gether and disposing of their stock
at a grand public auction. The man
ufacturers of Yankee patents are
suffering from the same cause, and
wailing letters come from the peripa
tetic venders of patent churns, etc.,
all over the South, telling o£.the tit
ter ruin of the trade in that region.
The hotels mourn a largo loss of
southern patronage. It is agreed on
all hands, that, unless the entente
cordiale is restored between the North
and the South within the next three
months, the result will he most disas
trous to all branches of domestic
commerce ami maniitact urea through
out the North.
Report or Northern spies from
tlie South.
The New York correspondent of th**
Mobile Register sayfc:
The Republican leaders here sent confi
dential agents, in September to every South
ern State, to examine into and report the
extent of arms and ammunition in the South
that couid lie used m March, ISM, should
Seward's takiag his seat te opjiosed. A
copy of the report was sc**n by a them! in
the office of the Independent, i will merely
mention what it contains in reference to
Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia. The
spies report, that the arm* and ammunition
is Alabama is of no possible account. Ot
South Carolina he speaks in the most con
temptuous term*, and contrasts the arms
and supplies ol the Federal Government and
fortresses with those of the State of Colum
bia and at Charleston. He says there are
not even rusty muskets sufficient in the
State to arm 1000 men, and if there were,
that the muskets would explode and kill the
holders. In Georgia, tbe spy says, there is
a scarcity of arms, and of powder and shot
lor the ordinary hunting done in the State.
All the States are reported, and if the re
port is true, were I iu your Legislature, not
a day should pass before a remedy was had.
I would create a permanent supply, by
legalizing manufactures of arms and of
powder. Why not?

High Privet for Fur*.
The New York correspondent of the
Mobile Register says :
It is impossible to estimate the millions
of dollars that are soent every year for furs
—and merely for show. Not one lady in
a thousand wear furs to keep warm. It. is
not an unusual thine for a fashionable lady
to spend SBOO to $2500 for furs at Genin's
Bazaar. John N. Genin boasts that he
makes 500 per cent on everv article of furs
sold. If a muff cosis hitn SIOO he sells it
for SSOO. “I am obliged to do it to make
up my losses by months in the summer
season,” says John. Oh what money tLat
shopkeeper draws from the South every
year. 5000 bales of cotton are bartered in
that one store for laces, furs and costly
shawl-. I know one lady who put twelve
bales Upland in a shawl at Genin’s, that at
this moment is probably admired by happy
negroes at a plantation on Cooper River!

From the Charleston Mercury.
Direct Trade iu Charleston.
The remarks of our cotemporaries, as a
whole, have been very complimentary to
the card lately issued by the Charleston
jobbing merchants. A sound patriotism and
discriminating judgment has pervaded all
the notices that have met our eye. An
earnest desire seems to be sincerely enter
tained to sustain the merchants of Charles
ton in their endeavors to place our Queen
City in her proper station as a leading sea
port of the world. But we detect, in some,
indications ol an idea that no direct importa
tions are made in Charleston, and that bet
ter terms can be obtained of jobbers in New
York. To cambat th s error, and io some
degree to convey more accurate informa
tion, we propose a few words.
At the outset let ns promise, that to no
great exteut do jobbers, in any market, im
port the goods they sell. And the retailer
who buys his stock in New York, thinkirg
lie is buying of the importer, grossly de
ceives himself. Importing is a business of
itself, which completely absorbs the capital
ordinari’y commanded by mercantile firms.
The importer sells by the case to the jobber,
and the jobber, by the piece or pieces, to
the retailer, who sells to the consumer by
the pattern or quantity desired. Such is
the division of modern trade. The simple
question plainly put to the interior retailer
is. Will you sustain the Charleston jobber
or will you sustain the New York jobber,
who are equal competitors for your custom?
The Charleston and New York jobber
■like purchase of the importer, who is main
ly an agent in New York of loreign or do
mest.c manulaciurers. The manufacturer,
no matter what his goods may be, sends
them to New York for a maiket, through a
local agent in that city, and he will send
them to Charleston in the same manner, if a
sufficient market for goods be cteated here
For the very reason that theie are no man
ufacturer's agent? in Charleston, our jobfers
import more often than the New York job
bers, who can obtain any desired article, by
sending a lew streets or blocks? Here no
large stocks, exclusive to certain depart
ments of trades, sold only by the bale, case,
or other measure of bulk. We select at
random the following direct importations of
last Thursday, in evidence of the Variety of
such importations made at this po. i:

A large c’assof goods, in common use
throughout the South, are of Northern man
ufacture whose depots are located in New
York, as lor example : clothing, boots and
shoes, hats, and the thousand and one small
conveniences of every day life. Large
amounts of capital are there devoted to their
manufacture, and so long as the interior re
tailer at the South will sell such goods,
there will exist establishments in Chailes
ton for their supply. Charleston merchants
are like merchants everywhere, they will
keep what people will buy and it is perfect
ly, utterly idle to expect any different con
dition.
The pertinent suggestion to all is, shall a
leading market be built up in Charleston?
Shall our jobbers double their business and
manifold their numbers ? When they do,
importing houses, agents of foreign ami do
mestic manufactures, will be established
here, and bonded warehouses will rise on
East Bay. Foreign manufacturers have no
intrinsic interest in New York. They wdl
establish a branch of their houses in Charles
ton whenever the market will warrant —
Trade is sensitive—it gravitates, and always
will. Markets create Merchants, but mer
chants do cot create markets.
The question, then, simply recurs upon—
how shall oor jobbing houses be sustained
and strengthened ? Manitestly only by in
ter ior merchants seeking a market here.—
This cannot be done in a day or season;
bat the commencement may be made at
any time. The extent of country, natural
ly seeking a supply market here, is large
enough and rich enough to create all the
trade that Charleston can conduct Should
this trade concentrate here —should our job
bers find their stocks readily exhausted—
the manufacturers will directly establish
agencies here, and we sha’l |K>ssess an orig
inal market limited only by the amount and
extent of its custom. Our harbor is ample,
and all original labilities provided libetally
by .nature.
Benedicts on a Frolic.
The Cincinnati Commercial says that last
week a party of fifteen or sixteen gentlemen,
living near Mount Pleasant, in that county,
resolved that they would have a sleigh ride,
a supper, and a “good time,” all to them
selves, without their good wives being any
the w of it. They accordingly arranged
to have a supper come off” at Waldron’s,
about five miles from Mount Pleasant, and
on the appointed night, under various pre
texts, they abandoned the society of their
wives, and in coozy cutters, behind fast
trotting horses, made good time to Wald
ron's, chuckling over the wav in which they
hau “fooled the women.” But the women
were not so ignorant as they pretended to
be. They got wind of ‘the “ stag party” at
Waldron's, and resolvtd to be “iii at the
Seaili.”
• They got up enough sleighs to accommo
date the party, and arrived at the hotel just
as the gentlemen were getting ready to sit
down to a sumptuous table—game, oysters,
wine, &e. The ladies walked in and took
possession of the table, utterly refusing to
recognize auy of the gentlemen, and treat*
ing them all as perfect strangers. The
truant husbands saw the elegant supper, for
the discussion of which they had been
whetting their appetites, rapidly melt away,
and they were rot even allowed to pick the
bones. After supper, *lhe ladies, who had
brought music with them, danced for a
while, and then went home, without once
speaking to their husband*, and treating all
advances on their part with freezing cold
ness, or indignant astonishment.

No Organization l et!
We have become so wearied with looking
for the announcement, by Telegraph, that
the House of Congress had succeeded in ef
fecting an organization, by the election of
Speaker, that we have almost ceased to feel
any interest on the subject. Meanwhile, the
wheels of the General Government have
nearly* come to a dead loek, and the great
interests of the country are placed in jeopar
dy, every hour, through the derangement
of business affairs, by reason of the delay of
organization. Os courso no appropriation
bills can be passed, until a Spt ■akcr is chosen
and hence we look, favorably, upon the pro
hibition introduced into the House, to elect
a Speaker, pro tan, or long enough to pass
the necessary appropriation hills, to meet the
current expenses of the Government—and
then, for the members to resign their seats,
in a body, and return home, with a view to
submit the questions at issue, to the super
vision of the people. We would, indeed,
iike to see this proposition carried out, if
immediate steps are not tukea to bring to
gether all the opponents of Black Kopubli
eanism in a successful effort to organise tbe
House. Democrats and Whigs, Americans
and Union men, should, for once, unite iu
so patriotic a measure, und save the country
from the misrule of fanaticism. And we
say, woe, woe, he unto all those who value
jtarty success more than the public good, in
times like the present. They will be swept
uway as with the besom of destruction, when
the indignation of an incensed constituency
shall find an honest expression.
In view of the political status of the na
tion, it specially becomes us of the South to
become one united people. This Is no time
for the petty, local quarrels that have dis
turbed and distracted us hitherto. We should
throw aside the mere [Kilitician and his grov
elling ambition, and present the strongest
evidence of patriotic und enlightened states
manship, by murching up, in a body,to the
line of constitutional protection and consti*
tutional defences for our own section. In
other words we go, first, for a united South,
as the basis of all future operations. Standing
thus, with the bold front uud manly hearing
which men, conscious of right and a just
c *iuse should ever exhibit, we may bid de
fiance to a world in arum. We shall be able,
thus, the more effectually to preserve the
Union of our fathers, and our own inherit
ance in the blessing, unimpaired. But di
vided among ourselves, and distracted by
conflicting purposes and party schemes, we
shall fall ail easy prey to the serried hosts of
Santanic abolitionism which are, already,
on the march to our borders.

Post Master General Holt’s report con
tains a suggestion in regard to the exemp
tion of newspaper exchanges from postage,
which will arrest the attention and comment
of the Press, generally. Mr* Holt thinks
the privilege ought to be abolished, and our
respected cotemporary of the Savannah Re
publican, concurs with him,‘on the ground
that he “cannot understand why the pirn*
should enjoy privileges from the goverment,
not extended to any other branch of busi
ness.” We would come to the same con
clusion, did wo suppose the privilege enur*d
to the benefit of the press and not to the pub
lic. But this is not the case. Most of the
[>a|ierß published in the country depend
upon their exchanges for that general variety
of intelligence which they are able to furnish
their readers and the measure proposed
would operate as a tax on the dissemina
tion of knowledge. In a pecuniary point of
view, however, we believe the press would
find it profitable to have the privilege of
free exchange abolished. For exumple, we
have over one hundred exchange papers,
which cost us at least SIOO, per annum.—
Os these we hardly ever use more than one
tenth, except in dippings, occasionally, from
the local items column.
Now, lor the same expenditure wo could
select about ten Daily and weekly papers
from various points of the Union, that
would serve us better thau the 100 weekly
exchanges now received. This would save
u* money, and unswer all our purges, but
we fear that it would have the tendency to
limit the usefulness of the press in diffusing
useful information among the jxtople. Oth
erwise, we have no objection to the abolition
of tiie present franking privilege on ex
change newspapers.

a number of years’ labor, and one of the
most ingenious pieces of mechanism ever

while passing through the machine. It will
pick forty-five geese per hour.

the price of the work to Two Dollars, which
is a move in the right direction. Publishers

not afford to work, longer, at starvation

Very Conaiirteiit.— Tontgome-he M
ry (Ala.) papers recently contained the ad
vertisement of a Madame Clifton, who visit
ed that village, with a view to enlighten the
denizens in the ufi'uirs of Love and Business,
after the following programme:
Caution ! Look Out! Madame Clifton is
the great Fortune Teller of the age! She
succeeds when all others have failed.. All
who are in trouble fly to her for advice.—
In LOVE AFFAIRS sho never fails. She
has the secret of winning the affections of
the opposite sex. She shows you the por
trait of your future Wife, Husband or absent
friend. It is well known to the public at
large that she is the first and only one who
can show the likeness in reality and can
give entire satisfaction in all the concerns of
life, which can be tested and proved by
thousands, both married and single, who
daily visit her.
Ladies, $1; Gentlemen, $2. Extracharge
for drawing Likenesses.
And to show that the press and the peo
ple appreciated this kind of lore, the “ Ad
vertiser” gives the Fortune Teller the follow
ing notice:
Astrology.— Madame Clifton, the cele
brated Astrologist, elsewhere announces
that she has taken rooms at the Boarding
House of Mrs. Crane, situated on Perry St.,
and is prepared to give the curious an in
sight into their future state. It is said, that
in “ love affairs” she never fails, and “sigh
ing swains” and “doting damsels” may be
enabled to obtain hope and consolation by
paying her a visit. She only designs re
maining in the city one week.
Our comment is simply this—“ Every one
to his or her taste,” ns the woman said,
when she kissed Sambo, but to our notion,
the people and clergy who would influ
ence the Legislature of Alabama to pass
a law prohibiting, under heavy penalties,
■ the manifestations of the Spiritual Philoso
phy, while they have no thunderbolts for tho
sorcerers and fortune tellers that swindle
the unsuspecting out of their money, without
a valuable consideration in knowledge or
otherwise, are tolerably low down in the
plane of moral and intellectual development.
Where are Cocke aud Clitherall, that Mad
ame Clifton was not fined SSOO a day for
exhibiting her witchcraft in Montgomery!
Brave and gallant gentlemen! Why drive
Redman out of your jurisdiction, and per
mit Madame Clifton to practice her necrom
ancy, undisturbed! And Oh! Ye consis
tent priests and pastor* of Montgomery, why
did ye not take up the witch and have her
hung or ducked, as in the days of Salem
witchcralt! We know of no reason, why,
save that a woman, in this our day, has
privileges which a man has not, and is nev
er held amenable to the same code of rigid
justice, which is meted out to the sterner
sex ! In both cases under notice, we sup
pose that caprice ruled tho hour and consis
tency had nothing to do with either.

Things are Moving.
The nomination of Lieutenant General
Scott and of General Houston for the Presi
dency, and Vice-Prtaidency respectively by
tho New York Union Meeting of Tuesday
night, which the telegraph announced yes
terday, and the appointment by a meeting
of Conservatives at Washington of a Com
mittee, with Senator Crittenden at its head,
to report to an adjourned meeting to be
held last evening, “a plan of organization
whereby the entire opposition to the present
administration can be united for the Presi
dential contest of 1800,” which tho telegraph
announces this morning, are facts which
give a cheering significance to the move
ment, in behalf of the Union, that is every
where setting in. They show not only that
the passion for the Union is unextinguish
able and irrepressible, but that it is busily
shaping events for its triumphant expression
in tho Government. They foreshadow dis
tinctly a great Union party. | Not that we
conceive these movements have the slightest
voluntary relation to each other, for we take
it for granted thut they have not; on the
contrary, the movement at New York seems
to be a step independent if not regardless of
the more deliberate one at Washington.—
Yet they both spring from the same motive
and point, to the same end ; they are essen
tially harmonious, alike in indicating the
depth and determination of the Uuiou sentU
ment in the land. As such wc hail them
with unbounded joy.— Lou. Jour.

Pont Office mailers.
Washington, Jan. 9.—The Louisiana dele
gation waited to-day on Postmaster Gen
eral Holt, and had a conference with him
relative to the irregularities of the mail ser
vice between Washington and New Orleans.
It is understood that letters had been
received by the delegation expressing the
opinion that it w*s in contemplation by the
Post Office Department to reduce the mail
Service on the ground that the postal ex
penditures for Louisiana exceeded the
revenue by upward of half a million of dol
lars per aunum.
Tlie main Trunk.
We learn that the entire line of the At
lantic and Gulf Railroad is now under con
tract from the present terminus, in Clinch
county, (distant from Savannah 125 miles)
to Bainbridgc. The contractors on this end
of the line are Robert Lunday and Callahan,
McDonald and Ormond. We lean, that the
latter firm wilj commence operations in
Decatur county in January, or as soon as
they finish their contracts on the Charleston
and Savannah toid, on which they are now
engaged. We are also gratified to leirn
the portion of the road, located through
Lewndes and Thomas counties, is prosecut
ed vigorously by Messrs. Jones an.l Hayes,
M. S. Griffin, and other responsible con
tractors.
We have never doubted the good faith of
the Director* in respect to the work; we
only looked upon it as a question of time,
and now feel satisfied that their prudence
in deferring the letting of contracts to the
present time has been the means of saving
unnecessary expenditure* of a large amount
of money.
We have, therefore, looked upon our
neighbors of Thomas county as rather eva
ding the responsibility of furnishing their
just quota of the means wherewith to build
the road. It affords us great pleasure to
make (be amende honorable , inasmuch as
they are coming up like men, and in many
instances paying up sevent r per cent, on
the new stock subscribed by them.
The Treasurer of the Company will prob
aply be here by the first of March next,
and we hope the people of Decatur will em
brace that opportunity to sustain their good
reputation as prompt pavers.

Miss Emma Ilartlinsre.
This g'tied Lady commenced her series of
six Lectures, on the Spiritual Philosophy,
at Concert Hall, in this city, on Sunday af
ternoon, |lasr, to a good audience, who, we
learn, were delighted with both the matter
and manner of her wonderful ministrations.
We did not have the pleasure of hearing her
introductory Lecture, owning to sickness in
our fatfiily, but we only speak the general
sentiment of her audience, when we declare
that her evening lecture was surpassingly
sublime in conception, earnest and eloquent
in diction, and profound in argument. Last
night she was to have lectured on a sul ject
selected by a committee choseu from the
audience, but we bad to go to press before
the appointed hour, and therefore cannot
speak of that Lecture. To-morrow night
she will again speak, on a theme selected
by the audience, and we bespeak for her the
calm and uupr*judiced hearing of our peo
ple. We shall endeavor to give a synopsis
of all her Lectures in the next No. of the
“Spiritualist,”but as we cannot hope to be
able to do justice to the subject or to the
accomplished Lecturer, we would advise all
who can appreciate the beautiful in thought
or the sublime in inspiration to go and hear
for themselves.— Semi- Weekly, Jan. llfA.
A Brilliant Day.
Monday, the 9th, was a day long to be
remembered in oar city, as the proudest
military celebration which has been had
here for a loDg time. It was in honor of
the Bth of January—the anniversary of the
day that tbe immortal Jackson saved the
“beauty and booty” of New Orleans, from
spoliation and destruction. Tbe Military
Btaallion made, separately, a fine appear
ance. The Macon Volunteers, Capt. Smith,
the Floyd Rifles, Lieut Ross commanding,
the Jackson Artillery Capt Parker, the
Macon Guards, Capt. Griffin, and the Bibb
County Cavelry, Capt Fitzgerald, were all
out in full feather aud tflicient equipment
The troop were especially the “observed of
all observers” and showed that they had not
been regardless of the instructions imparted
by their gallant officers.
