WOOL DEPOT
AT CHICAGO.

THE Depot System for marketing wool
i having been thoroughly tested at the
East, and being in great favor with the far
mers, | have determined to commence the
enterprise here.
Wool will be weighed into the Depot in
the gross, and certificate therefor given;
and if desired, an advance to about two
thirds its value will be made, for which in
terest at the rate Of eight per centum per
annum will be charged till sold.
The sorter separates it according to grade,
who is wholly disinterested, being employ
ed OH a salary, and he gives the owner cred
1t for the number of pounds of each grade,
noting any deduction for filth.
Each clip can be kept separate if desired
to time Of sales. Sales will be made ONLY
FOR CASH, and owners at once notified when
their accounts will be ready for immediate
settlement
Instead of one cent per pound, the De-
pot charge for sorting and selling will be
one cent and hall; MIR. Blanchard who
first started the system having advertised
that such will be his rate, and that it is as
low as can be afforded. This will cover all
charges except for insurance, which will
be from Az to GO cents on the Sl0O, for
each three months. Sacks will be pail for
at their value.
Inquiries will be answered with pleasure.

TCoMMUNICATHD.1

Messrs. Duff Green and Benz. E. Green pre-
sent their compliments to the editor of the New
York Epening Post, and thank them for the
publication entire Of their circular of the / st of
August last, and in doing so, take the liberty TO
express their surprise that persons so well in
formed should so much misrepresent its purport
and character. Ours is not proposition asking
Congress to advance single dollar in aid of the
construction of any railroad, nor is it propo.
sition to levy.a contribution of a single dollar
from the treasury of the United States. SO far
from THE, we propose TO save one-sixth part of
the present expenditure on railroad mail con-
tracts, and to appropriate the sum thus saved, as
a sinking fund. which will, in less than thirty
years, save more than thirty millions Of dollars
to the treasury. AS to the suggestion that we
are acting in concert with the Ebony iine,p or
any other line of steamers, we assure the editors
of the Posi-, that we are not now, nor never have
been and never expect TO be, interested in, or
associated with, any line OF sea steamers asking
aid from the United States. IL ia true, that long
since, one of us addressed n memorial TO Con.
gress, asking aid for a line of steamers from Sa
yannah to Liverpool, but seeing that no sppro-
priation could DO carried without combinations
which he was unwilling TO make and that to
press the measure, would necessarily identify
him with combinations, which his Judgment
condemns. That application was abandoned
with no purpose of renewing it.
We therefore submit TO the candor of the cdi
tors of the Post, that IA men Of honor, having
some regard fer public opinion, II is their duty
to examine the facts and withdraw the imputa
tons they have made. Upon reperusal Of our
circular they will find that all that we propose
is.a change In the mode of contracts for carry
ing the mails, and that these contracts are for
services rendered by companies whose roads aye
in operation, and not as the Post suppcses, fol
the construction of railroads hereafter to be
made.

The Right OF Secession.

The sentiment of the Old Dominion is well
expressed in the following editorial of the Nor
folk News:
"He could mol comprehend the RIGHT Ct a
State to seeds"
The above sentiment was uttered by Mr..
Summers, in speech delivered at Abingdon, on
the 29th of October, and we call on every ad
vocate and upholder Of States rights to re-
member it at the forthcoming election. ln
the late triumphant result of the congressional
canvass in this district, which turned upon this
same issue, the voters of Norfolk manifested
their devotion to the doctrine of States rights,
by giving a majority to General Mison, the
staunch defender of this doctrine. Will they,
in casting their votes for the governor of this
glorious old commonwealth, support an advo-
cate of the consolidation creed, in preference to
standard bearer Of the Virginia doctrine OF
'98! Will thev support man for that high and
responsible office, who denies that there is any
remedy to the States for unjust and tyrannica
legislation, and they must be Kept in the Union
in spite of violated constitution, and infringe
mcnt of their rights and who comedies with the
heterodox opinions of Henry Clay and Daniel
Webster on this vital subject!
We are no disunionists we love the Union
as rich legacy of love, heritage of un.
numbered blessings, sealed with the blood and
cemented by the labors of the patriotic dead
We would not destroy its integrity for any that
has been done, although we consider this mis-
called compromise as an infamous attack on the
rights of the South. The Union is too precious
to be lightly dissolved, and the South has shown
its love and devotion to it, by patient and long
endurance of wrong; but we cannot, if we
would, blind our eyes to the fact, that unless
some check is interposed to stop the rampant
career of the North, the period must sooner or
later arrive, when the South must either assert
boldly her rights, or tamely place its neck un-
der the ponderous tread of Northern rapacity.

(if they do not take for ID some other name
will soon begin TO show itself They say that
no less than ten thousand Of tle brethren will
arrive here from over the soa this autumn, and
land at San Diego But quion sabe"
IL is unquestionable fact, that the preachers
OF this faith in England and other parts of Eu-
rope, have been ordered by the supreme au-
thority at Salt Lake, to direct all converts who
should start for the promised land, to avoid the
route over the Plains, and To enter the country
at the port of San Diego. The Mormons more
than year ago, laid the plans which they are
now systematically carrying out, by the purchase
ana settlement of locations in the lower part of
this State We are informed that they have
bought the Lugas" ranch at Los Angeles, and
already on the whole way from the sea-coast to
Salt Lake they have waystations, between which
The longest distance does not exceed 200 miles
There is reason to believe that the number of
Mormons TO arrive at San Diego, would be
scarcely exaggerated if taken at ten thousand
for the coming year, and the only improbabiIity
in the report arises from limiting the time to the
present season. Should Carson valley, which
is located in Utah territory, now under the gov.
ernorship of Brigham Young, the present head
OF the church of the Mormons, be occupied by
them next year, as from its relative location and
resources We can hardly doubt it will, some di-
gression may be made in the course OF this
prospective emigration, and more northern
port be preferred for temporary disembarka-
ton.
