FROM NORTHWESTERN VIRGINIA.


Mcssrs. Editors Perhaps it will be supposed
the Democracy here, in the Northwest, are
inert and regardless of the issues which are
a.itating the Democratic party in other sections
But such is rot the cast. They feel n lively
and growing interest in them, and II is needless
to say that nearly all are Of one m'n1 or
opinion i'll regard 10 them.
The opinions Of the r'opie in TINS portion OF
the STATE, upon the question ol protection by
Congress Of persons and property IN the ! crri-
tories are the same as those 50 often ana ably
expressed in the Enquirer" They believe
the South ought to insist upon haTlng her
rights in the Territories maintained by Con.
.rcss. That Congress. and not a sham Territorial
Legislature. should be bound for the protection
Of "pcrsons and property Such are the
opinions Of the 3,ecpie here. But few polii-
cans object They say the South should mt
insist Hor. Oh no, Oh no BGh awhile.
Don't urqe your rights hcG. Don't 'm'erpotatG
them in your platform get 'faH till We have
fought the battle, or our forces will be divided
and Abotionisln will triumph. These are
the arguments generally; made use Of by those
men vino would compromise the rights Of the
South, not for the purpose Of securing a Demo
cratic victory. ror of tightening the bands Of
the Union; bat soieiy Tor the purpose of de-
featlng a certain aspirant for the presidency.
This iS the secret, but true motive Of all their
pertinacous opposition 10 intervention in the
Territories by Congress for the protection OF
property" They think that if they can success
fully oppose the adoption Of that measure by
the Charleston Convention. their main object
the defeat of Gov. Wises nomination, will be
accomplished.
Will not the people, the true sorcrcSns.. arse
in their majesty and rebukc such pernicious
perycrsion Of their rights: VIII they staha

proud emincncc To which he so justly aspifes

Correspondence 9f Hc HtchM0hG Ea9aTer.l
Nrw YORK, July 90, 1859.
The rnws of the nrtnistice concluded be-
tween Franre and Austria produced mach sur
prise among business men in this city. All
were expecting to hear Of another g,ca; battle,
and the progress of sicses, when, 10 the aston
ishment of all, the report Of IN armisticc came
to hand. Next to the sudden outbrcah oc
war, sudden conclusion Of peace produces
the greatest inconvenience among commercial
men. The most decided effect produced by
the news here, was seen in the advance Of cot
ton with increased sales Flour, which had,
;ls the new crop Of wheat began to reach mar
kct declined n pace OIL the receipt oil the A!ri-
cas- news, suffered further serious deprcs-
sion. This last decline brought down 10 less
than three flour houses. They had made adj
yanccs ON State and Western brands IN many
cases 1t $6a6 80 per barrel which have been
sold this week ut 81 5oai 10 per barrel; and
on wheat 81 .0al IS, that has since declined
toSi j0al J5. The consequence was that IL
the absence of rcmittanccS from their custom
,rs. in the interior. to make up the differences
in value, they have iecn forced to suspend
The whole decline in flour within two or three
weeks has Amounted from 81 15a2 90 per lar
rel. and at least - TO - cents per bushcl On
wheat.
For months, Ly the help Of an easy moucy
market, iour has been held above the current
prices in Europe, and SO FAR was the folly car
ricd ont, that importationS Of wheat were &C
iually made into this port from France and sold
at profit.
From all quarters ii wc except upper Cana.

the new Virginia wheat sad to be abundant
aud Of excellent quality, opens under such Dis

,HY MISS MURRAY RESIGNE1

The New York Albion has an article rcfcrr-
ing to the resignation Of Miss Amelia Murray,
whilom maid Of honor 10 the Queen, and whose
book on America and slavery has attracted
some attention. The Albion says:
I'VE are able to state upon the most uneycep-
tonal authority, that Miss Murray did not lose
her place in the royal household on account OF
her sentiments in favor Of slavery; but that She
herself resigned thchonorary position she occu-
ped as All extra maid of honor, before the pub
iication Of her work, and before any one knew
Of lis table Of contents-whcther it treated Of
slavery at all-mnch less whether her opinions
respecting it were favorable or the reverse. She

We thu, find that Southern exports were
largely in excess of the total from all other
sections of the Union. If We subtract from our
exports 1910. .2iG in gold and silver bullion
and coin, irotn the S293. .I5s, ,2S9 Of domestic
exports, it will leave S25l ,35l ,G43. Hence the
exports of Southern products exceeded all 9TH
crs in value, specie combined by SlS,063.s19;
and. exclusive Of specie, by $60,4Il.l2l. The
foregoing results were largely influenced by the
panic of 1857, which run into the last six
months ending the ist Of June. 1855. The crop
Of cotton was also short. being only 3. l4.0nJ
bales. Of which we exported only 2.59o.o00;
leaving stock on tho lst Of September, 1853,
of 100000 bales. The contrast between the
exports of the South and the North, for ISIS
and 1853, will be much greater than has pro-
baby been witnessed before in the history of
the country. Owing to the comparative cessa-
ton in the exports of breadStuffS and prcvi-
sons, good portion Of the North and West
has been without resources. Hence nearly the
whole commercial support Of the country. in
cluding its shipping and manufacturing inter
csts, has had to rest upon the South and her
agricultural productions The trade OF the
West with New York, for II to l8 months,
has been insignificant Let Us state a few facts.
The cotton crop Of lS56-59 .has reached
ZOO, 900 bales, Of which we have exported to
the 18th instant asia, 900 bales. The average
price Of this crop has been lltcts per lb, which
estimating the bales at $50 pounds each, VIII
give the value say Of $50 per bale. 10 tins
