From the New York Courier and Enquirer whis-
DISUNION, COMMERCIALLY
CONSIDERED.

The agitation of the subject Of Slavery,
which threatens to dissolve the Union {,
involves some very serious reflections,
particularly to that portion Of the COM
monity engaged in commerce. and the
inland trade between the North and the
South.
a glance at some Of our business streets
xhibits the immense trade with the South
and South west, and we contemplate with
satisfaction the importance and value of
the South to the North.
1t would be better it some Of our lesisla-
tors understood more thoroughly the statis-
tics Of trade between the North and South,
and between the United States and foreign
countries. They would be better enabled
to estimate the consequences that would
be sure to follow disunion, upon the value
of every species of property at the North.
as we'll as its effect in revolutionizing trade
at the North, and changing its location to
the South.
Gould these important points be seen
feeling would prevail, and less acrimony
would show itself in meeting the questions
which now agitate the whole country.
The Agricultural interest Of the Unite i
States are paramount to all others, for,
upon this branch Of industry, Commerce
is supported. and Manufactures thrive. II
we look at that section Of the Union which
grow for export the largest in amount.
and by far the most import commodity Of
any Of the productions Of this country. or
Of the whole world, we see that the South,
where slave labor is employed, furnishes in
Cotton alone. the whole Union with large
proportion Of the means to pay for the i'm
DOrts from foreign countries.

A NEW PRESS is to be established at Wash
ington city. for the purpose of defending the
rights of the South against Northern aggression.
An address to the people of the South has been
issued, signed by some 50 or SO members Of
Congress, from the South. among them, Messrs
Mangum, Venable, Ashe and Clingman, from N.
c., calling upon the people of the South to sup
port the press.
We have faith in the plan. We do not
believe it will work any great good to the South.
The avowed object of the signers, is to establish
press at Washington, unconnected with party
politics, for the sole purpose of being South
ern Organ" to maintain Southern rights alone,
and nothing else. It's call in my eye" Ifthose
whig members from the South who signed that
address calling for new paper, would take steps
to harmonic the presses already in the South,
they would do much better. They had better
get their whig presses at home to defend the
South. instead of giving 'sad and comfort" to the
Abolitionists, by denouncing their ncighbors,
's traitors" and "disunionists
We are little surprised that the de mocratic
members of Congress were beguiled into this
shallow invention. There is astonishing lack
of depth in the affair. Harmonize your presses
at home, before you go to putting up ones.
The Washington Union may be thought an
ing remarks of that paper, are more weighty
than the whole address" of the Northern
members:
We do not object to the establishment,
by the signers of the Southern Address. of
paper for the objects stated in that ad-
dress, if they think it is expedient to put
the cause of the South upon like footing
with the cause Of a6olitionism. The abo-
litionists Of the North-not the North as
section-have established paper in this
city to advocate their peculiar and disor-
ganizinS principles. And if the sisners Of
the Southern Address think that move
ment Of the abolitionis,s Of such a formi-
dable character as to justify resort to a
similar mode OF counteractins them, in
stead Of relying upon the power Of the
South in debate, as we'll as the press de-
voted to the just cause of the South, we
do not object.
1t is reported that Elwood Fisher, of Cincin-
natl, (author Ct pamphlet in defence of the
South, which has been widely circulated) is to
be the editor of the new paper.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN DAouEnRRo-
IYpE.--Nr Chas. J. Anthony, ot Pittsburg
has invented one Of the grapdest improve
merits ever made in the art of Deguerreo-
typing in fact we believe it second only
to the discovery OF Daguerre himself. The
Improvement consists in what is termed
(" "Magic Back Ground,' which is given by
a chemical process. and consists in over
coming one Of the greatest difficulties that
artists have to. contend against. Mr. An
thony. by his process. can give the picture
any kind of back ground he pleases--light
or dark, and imitation Of sky. or draperied
canopy. One sample which we saw, bad
back ground in imitation Of pearl, with
the picture standing out in full relief The
back ground can be given either before,
during. or after the impression is taken.
The process is simple and the expense
triA,ng.
Mr. Anthony has applied for patent,
and has assigned his interest Of it to Mr.
Levi Chapman, of this city, who will no
doubt make grand affair Of such deserv-
ing and meritorious discovery.-Sci. finer.

LET THE CRow LlvE--I present for
publication the following, to prevent the
depre patton Of crows upon The corn6elds:
Dissolve table spoonfuls Of tar in one
gallon Of boiling water. stir in itimmedi

utes drain off the water, then mix one pint
ofplaster paris, which separates the kernels
tor dropping. After "a years expert
ence, have never known it to fail of be-

corn, as soaking in copperas often does.
By thus preparing seed corn, we can have

the worms, which would otherwise destroy

\ party of gentlemen were conversing
upon the all absorbing topics of the un-
happy differences existing between the

had some thing to say in favor OF his own
State. One Of the gentlemen remarked
that he belonged to Jersey, and was pro-
ceedins to show forth the merits of that
much abused portion of our Union, when
he was interrupted by jolly locking
customer, with merry eye and some
what elongated proboscls, with the interrO-
gatory:

IL do, indeed" was the answer
We'll. then give me your hand. Ah!

The gentleman. somewhat surprised,
inquired the reason Of the joker's esteem
for Jerseymen

smacks more of compassion!' he replied.
"Please explain yuurself," said the
Jerseyman;' .. do not understand you.'
Well, thcn, the fact is," was the an
swer, - l believe the people from your
State are about as apt to be dry, as any
class of men out. and never met one in
