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 Pensylvanian . Scexe ix ax Emma's Saxcttic.—Enter a lance man, with a cowhide. “ Is the editor in ?” “Yea.” “You?” I have come to settle with you.” ‘•Well—(editor draws a revolver,) —go on.” *• I have taken your paper a year.” Well,” (capping the pistol.) “An articla in your last week’s issue (ed itor cocks the pistol,) convinced me that you needed”— “ I deny your right to give it—therefore, please be cautious, sir.” “Give you what?” “A thrashing.” “Why, no, my dear sir, I came to pay my subscription in advance.” Os course, no further disturbance was made.

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? The .Miss. O X K. R. Railroad. Noticing tbe election of Col. Elliott, of Camden, to the Presidency of the Missis sippi, Ouachita and Red River Railroad, the Little Rock Gazette says: “Under his energetic supervision the work is progress ing—some miles of tbe track are laid, a good car is on tbe road, and it is expected that the work will progress without delay or hindrance until the cars can reach the high lands at the edge of the Mississippi bottom — a distance of aliout twenty miles. 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! Items from the Albany Patriot. Salk or Land is Douohfrtt.— We arc informed from a relialHc source, that a saic of pine land wa9 made a few days since on the East side of the river in this county by Mr. Ransom Acre, at S4O per acre. The place is near the Worth county line, and was improved, but to what extent we are not informed. The pine lands in that section are bearing an upward tendency. Sale or Negroes. —The sale of the negroes belonging to the Estate of the late Joseph Bond, commenced in this city on Tuesday morning last, and ended Wednesday even ing. We have not been able to see the cor rect list of the sale, but sufficient is ascertain ed for us to state that 536 negroes in families, sold at an average of alxait one thousand and twenty-five dollars. There are thirty yet to be sold. One negro girl which was offered as unsound, brought SIBOO. one negro girl 17 and negro boy 20 years old, brought 13600; one field hand 30 years old, brought $20005; several ooys brought over $2000; boy Gilbert, wife and child purchased by Gen.

Salk or the Tarver Property. —One hundred and twenty-six negroes belonging to the estate of Paul E. Tarver, was sold on Tuesday of last week, in this c ty, at an average of $1,083 87}. One family, eight in number, with only three hands, sold for $10,025. At the plantation the day following, 31 mules # were sold at an average of $203 19; 65 cows at $9 per head; cotton seed from 400 bales cotton brought $1,208. One fine mule brought $306, and several went as high as $275. The sum total, including stock of all kinds, 1 amounted to $144,870. Kismkg.—Miss KateL.

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: Per ship Caroline, arrived from Liverpool, December 29. iSalt, to James Welsnian; bark Xcilitrlaitd, arrived from Rotterdam, Hay, to C. 0.

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.

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. Hostage on Bxcliauge News papers. 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.

Ail are at sea again. Prognostications of future results are utterly futile. In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Davis of Mississippi, introduced a bill for the sale of Government arms to the States, to such an extent us can be spared from the Federal service. The President sent in the Mexican corres pondence. Mr. Green, of Misouri, made a speech on Mr. Pugh’s, of Ohio, Territorial resolution, which was not concluded when the Senate adjourned.

Publishers of such useful and interesting Magazines can not afford to work, longer, at starvation prices, when labor and material have ad vanced to such maximum rates. The “Plan ter & Soil” is richly worth live times the price now asked for it. 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. Later from tlie Disaster at Law rence. Lawrence, Maw., Midnight, Jan. 10.— The walls of Pemberton Mills suddenly fell, at live o’cloek this afternoon, burying be tween 600 and 000 operatives beneath the ruins.

The “Telegraph” proposes to commence a Daily on the Ist day of February next, provided, on minute enquiry, the editor fmds he can get through without bursting up, during the sweating process winch he thinks he is obliged to pass through “a/ the best.” A. P. Burr Esq., late of Griffin “Indepen dent South” has also, we learn, for he has not favored us with a prospectus, issued preposals to start a Daily in Macon soon. If w’e do not have a Daily, after all this parade and promise, we think the Press Gang should be acquitted of want of enter prize and energy, in this matter. The people must second the metiou or it will fail. From Ohio. August, Jan. 4—The Ohio Legislature has organized, and the Governor’s message read.

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. Wlio are Hie Djuiiioni*t ?

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. Jiainbndge Georgian, 272A ull- 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.
