The inherent power Of the South 10 main.
tain itself In or out Oi The Union, Is well Illus
inied BY the following extract from the WASH
inaion "Union"
I'VE have shown that In The great year Of
convulsi0n and pressure our foreign exports
"fell of 10 the enormous sum OF iiiiy.iouf mil.
''lions Of dollars, while our foreign imports de.
"clined by The more enormous SUN OF eighty
"louT millions. But there was one class Of es-
sports which, amid CONFUSION and panic, wreck
sand collapse, held on the even Tenor Of is
sway. giving no sign Of ilueluu,ion or decline
'Our exports Of cotton TO foreign countries for
"lhe fiscal year ending June, 1857, were 10 the
'value OF sl3l ,575, $50; those for the fiscal
swear ending with June, 1853, were to the val
"ue Of Sl3l ,3S6,66l. Thus, while our gross
"exporis fell of fifIy-iour millions in value, our
"exportss Of cotton remained almost at idenil.
"cally the same figures. The falling OF in our
"exporis was exclusively in breadslufls and
''manuinclures, the product Of free labor; there
"was no falling Oh in the exports Of the great
agricultural siaple,mhieh is the exclusive pro.
.duct Of slave labor"
Yes, and by the aid Of the cotton staple,
the banks Of New Orleans we're able to with
stand the crnsh, while those Of the North went
by tue board.

Arrival Of Senator Douglas A. New Yot,


Senator Douglas aud lady arrived ai New
YorL iron Havana on Tuesday night. Hs was
waited upon al the WHAT by Aldsfman Bmd.
lev and Councilman Baker Of The committee
snuoinled 10 receive him. and escorted TO bis
. rooms a, the Everett House.
Yesterday morning he was visited by Speak
cr Or Reyerdy Johnson, George NJ Sanders
John h. Has in, N. C., and others.
Shortly after o'clock 81, Aldermen Clan
ey, Bradley, aud MeSpedon called al his
rooms.
Mr.. Bradley. after cOngratulaling the Sena..
tor on his arrival, presented the resolutions OF
the Common Council, remarking tina, they not
only rendered the freedom aud Inequalities Of
the city, but also endorsed his political course
Mr.. Douglas, in response, said this was
complcte surprise TO him, us until last high' he
had no iniimaiion that any such honor was IN
tended. lie had not imagined tina, his course
h ID attracted the attention OF the authorities OF
this great city. or impressed them so iavoraoly
as 10 lead 10 this mark Of approval
To receive this compliment IRON the city Of
New Tork was indeed no small honor-an
honor conferred by the great metropolis OF the
American continent, which was fast taking po'
sition as the controlling city OF the world, rs u
was already the great commercial, social aud
monetary heart Of this nation, the proudest, rs
il is, and ms il is TO be under the Constitution
of the United States, on the face Of the earth,
This city was the representative oil all the
States and all Territories OF the Union, where
ever the starry American flag waves upon me
sea or upon the land. Sectional controversies
might disturb other portions Of the country but
New York had not listened TO those appeals
which would array the North against the
South, the South against the North, or amy
one section against another. The heart Of New
York pulsa,ed throughout the Union and Tor
the Union. New York was for promoting
peace, fraternity and good feelings among all
the States, and all the people Of this country
To receive, then, this compliment, unde
these circumstances, was one OF the proudes
events Of his life. He gratefully accepted the
preferred honor, and would preserve this paper
to be transmitted to his posleriiy.
| MIR. Bradley further stated that they desired
Mr.. Douglas to appoint day to receive his
friends ut the City Hall. :,
Mr.. Douglas suggested Thursday but Mr.
Clancy thought Speaker Orr would want to re-
ceive on that day. and it was finally arranged
that Mr.. Douglas should see his friends at the
Governors rooms between one and two O'Clock
on Friday.
Mrs. Douglas appearing somewhat ;atigned
came in during the interview, and was miro
duced TO the committee.

been among his guides in his brilliant Fall campaign,

closed by the severity Of winter, they with others
asked leave to return to their families on the Reserve
This was granted of they were receiving nc
pay Maj Van Dorm had written to the Agent Of
the Lower Reserve for 80 guides fsm the Reserve te
accompany him as guides in his Spring campaign
The horses of the guides had been worn out in the
Fall campaign, and they said to the Agent that they
could not carry them through another campaign,

THE CASE OF BISHOP HONDERDO


We learn from the New York Express something
definite with regard to the fate of the movement
initiated for the purpose of composing the restora

ton (hostie) to postpone the whole subject indef

motion for simple restoration, unrestricted and UNI
conditioned defeated by a vote of 26 to s, the
Provisional Bishop of New York requesting to be
excused from voting. motion was made by the
Bishop Of South Carolina that the Memorial of
Bishop Onderdonk could not be entertained with
out the previous resignation of his jurisdiction Be
fore the question taken this, a substitute
was offered by the Bishop ofIllinois, by which
Bishop Onderdonk would be restored to office, and
10 the exercise of all the functions of the sacred
ministry; but not restored to the exercise of his
jurisdiction. This would leave 1t in the power of
the house to restore him to the exercise of ursdic
