WHAT A LADY THINKS AND ADVISES

T. Hs Rf'iar of ne WHO:
Having had great faith in the active conservatism of
the North and having been taught by your able edito-
rails that II Is rsTy passive wish to suggest few
;holghts my sisters OF Virginia which, If YOU think
worthy OF publication, you will please give in proper form
Recently have heard much of the action which dies
should take IN the present crisis. large majority ap-
pareuty concur in the Nisdom OF the proposition that
after the supply OF Northern goods in the South

bought the North for the Southern market This com.
meuds itself TO all. | need not discuss IT,
Some persons propose that We have lnsey-woosey or
Virginia cloth made the Virginia Penenjiary and

and gentlemen that the projected movement in favor of
Southern manufactures and mPoriAtions will probably

ladies csr!Iisly will To those ladies' viii saw let each

TO CORRESPONDENCE.
Affairs NJ washington--Thc Contest for


From present indications the business OF organizing
the House of Representatives will consume many DAYS,
aud probably weeks. An exciting discussion Is already
in progress in both Houses and there Is no telling when
it viii be brought to close. II is not improbable that
almost every member North and South will participate
in it, aud deliver himself of a place Buncumbc
haranguc. As well first last, however, oceans Of
gas had to escape any way.
SO faras the election of Speaker is concerned own
impression is that the plurality rule will be adopted short
iy-perhAps in a day two-which will, Of coutsc, re
suit In the election of Republican Speaker and an out
snd-out Republican organization of the House The
Ant.Lecompton Democrats will combine with the Repub
hcans this end Indeed already assured by the
Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia North
american, that nee of the antLecompton Democrats
have expressed determination for the adoption
OF the plurality rule and only two more yoes
will be needed pass it, and these it will be difficult
TO obtain.
We are glad to the Southern Opposition members
voting for some one of their own number. Under ex
ilng circumstances it is simply impossible for them
do otherwise They sustain any Of the endorers
ot the arocious Helper pamphlet they sustain
any candidate Of the Democracy We sincerely
desire the election of conservative Speaker and
servatve organization Of the House but pros
pect present Of such result being attained. SO long
the antLecompton Democrats refuse to cooperate
with the Administration Democrats, there i no possible
" of the election OF a Democratic Speaker with
the whole voteof the Southern Opposition for him.
From all that and heas It i probable that the
ti.Iecompion members woud much more readily vote
for Southern Opposition Speaker than for Admins
trAtion Democratic Speaker. II is probable, therefore
that the members now voting for BOcOcl would unite
upon Southern oPpostouist, he would he promptly
elected. And these Administration Democrats profess
to consider conservative organization OF the House
matter Of very importance, IL i incumbent upon
them to sink Plryism, and vote for eonsevs-
tive candidate for SPeAkerlwho be elected At all
events they might very properly and patriocally try
the experiment here suggested and II fail there w ~
no harm done bat, it succeed, they will have accom-
pshed the principal object for which all conservative
men, North and South, struggling, Wit the cleo
ton OF conservative AnAbolition sutFreesOa Speak
We commend this suggestion the early and earn
consideration OF the Administration members II
they desire to themselves with glory BY perform
ing disinerested and patriotic act they have presented
10 them splendid opportunity for doing so, and
be permitted to express the hope that they viii
brace it without hesitation.
In conclusion, that the Southern Opposition
members will firmly adhere the ground they have
sumed and throw the entire responsibility of organizt-
ton upon the other parties.
