A WHOLESALE REBUKE.
We extract the following from an excellent
article of the New York Mirror:

Whenever the North has been unjusily assaied
from the South. we have not been slow to offend
her and when she is unjust or inconsistent In her
treatment OF the South, we shall not spare the de-

slavery which they or their fathers, helped to es

race was profitable. II is notorious that New Eng
land bottoms were, not beyond the recollection OF
men now living, the chief Transporting agents In
slave trade, and that the Yankee shippers, now fui
ofholy horror that human being should suffer
bondage, were expertest in hunting negroes on the
coast OF Africa and readiest to coin dollars or oou
looms by their sale wherever there was market III

slavery was of the worst kind, they being the ROB-
bers and kidnappers. without whose AID the exten

slow. The planters of the South were rarely en-

Well and bravely spoken-but it's OF no

hide of rhinoceros with fine cambria nee-

the views of such men. From the dawn of
Christianity until now, there has always been
more hope of pubIicans and sinners, than of
Pharisees aud hJ pocrites.

ANsw AT LAsT-The question
which has been asked more than one hundred thou
sand times within the past two.years, "When will
the ship locks be completed ?" is at length satisfac
tory answered The entire improvement is so
nearly finished, that vessels drawing twelve feet of
water, will be able to enter the dock within the
course of two weeks, while all those drawing less
than ten, can now enter and depart at peasure-
Three schooners were "locked through yesterday
morning in a very short time, and others viii no
doubt pass in to-day. When all the machinery gets
to working smoothly and is properly understood
by the lockkeepers, we presume it will not occupy
more than five minutes time to pass vessel from
the river into the dock. The James River and
Kanawha Company are putting up sheds along the
margin of the dock, 10 be used in loading and I'M.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

The chronicle of fashionable intelligence
in the Northern journals are well calculated
to make the stomach of their readers heave
with unutterable emotions. We give below
some specimens of description of particu,
