The Lynchburg (va.) Republican bewails, in
appropriate terms, the evils with which the
South is afflicted Hearken to it, and weep
Northern Importations. Everybody knows
that the people Of the South have for years
permitted the Yankees to palm off upon them
wooden clocks cider for champagne, and fool
them out Of their money in thousand differ
emit ways As this only robbed them Of their
surplus cash, it was tolerable evil. But late
IL they have extended the field Of their depre-
dations, and have assumed through their
presses and their works OF fiction kind OF
guardianship over our morals and habits. This
Is carrying the thing q little too far, and we
feel bound 10 arrest their influence Any per.
son drinking their cider is certain TO get sick
OF il, and not likely to repeat the experiment
The luckless customer Of their clocks is sure
TO throw them away, and prefer losing such
time to keeping it. But their habits and code
of morals, once fixed, are not 30 easily got rid
Of Like the shirt of Nessus, or blister, they
stick, and can be removed only with pain and
suffering. We are, therefore, for quarantining
all such importations at onceD

RUSSIAN PRvATERRs IN THE UNITED STATES
The INSTRUMENTS OF DEsPoTIsM yester-
day alluded TO a report, first promulgated by
the Courier des Flats U,,is in New York, to
the effect that the Emperor Of Russia had sent
agents to this country, for the purpose Of fitting
out prvatecrs at several Of our leading ports,
10 wage war against the commercial vessels OF
England and France Similar information
has since reached rs from England Indeed, il
IL affirmed, that affairs are in such condition
OF progress, that at the report OF the first can
non fred in the Black Sea, quite n feet Of
Russian rrivaieers will start forward from the
American ports, for the purpose Of preying
upon the commerce Of England and France
Our Government has probably been apprized
Of tho facts before this and IL 30, immediate
measures should DO taken TO check this infa-
mous movement IL should be remembered
that while the American people not only sym
pathizc with Turkey in her struggle against
Russia, our Government il on the most friendly
terms with tho Governments OF England and
France, and that hence, any indirect assistance
TO Russia ~ alluded 10 above, would be treach-
erous in double ecnsc--in the first place, 10
the spirit OF republicanism, and, in the second,
10 our treaty obligations The spectacle would
indeed be disgraccfal, TO sec England and
France battling against Russia for Justice and
right, and at the same time TO witness citizens
Of republican America indirectly cooperating
with the greatest despot Of the European
World That there is something in the movc-
ment there is not doubt for our information,
like that Of the Courier des Flats Unis, is from
responsible quarter. We need scarcely add,
that the Governments Of England and France
would use all their efforts 70 capture such cor
sairs, and 10 treat them, and very properly, too,
as piratcs,---Phiiodelpkia Inquirer, FEB. %.
