Non-Intcl course between the States.
The Louisville Journal has the following

The Louisville Journal has the following
comments upon the non-intercourse projects
of Virginia and other Southern States:
We propose war of retaliation. If the
North will interfere with our southern do
mestic institutions, let our young men 60
forth and rob the northern homes Of their
most cherished ornaments, and bring them
back to found more patriarchal relations
among us. Let us conquer prejudices by
the potent aid of love, and bring willing
captiyes to our arms. The idea of not eat
ing New England salmon next spring, or of
5ssn aSs M M is 'GGs G~ ~hoag y having
Indiana grouse, or Maine supply Of pota-
toes interdicted to us; of being compelled
to read of New York oysters or Pittsburg
ale, and be in the tantalizing condition Of
not enjoying them; the terrible calamity in
volved in giving up the Newark cider sold
for champagne, or the rectitied whisky of
Cincinnati drugged for old Otard brandy;
the shivering sensation produced by the
very thought of refusing to be supplied with
Pennsylvania coal this winter by Kellogg
& Co., because it is mined by an under
ground railroad; the setting our ohdurate
appetites against the produce Of Hoosier
pigeon-roosts, teal, or blue-wing, because
they fly from the North; all these are over
whelming. We are patriotic enough as the
world wags, but we cannot surrender our
gastronomic liberty. Our friend Of the
Richmond Wig will forgive us, if, after
having stood politically shoulder to shoul-
der for years, we now part stomach to
stomach on this question of ''internal inn
provement" 1t is hard to sunder old ties,
and our very bowels will yearn to be re-
united, but then stomachic bitters give an
appetite and promote digestion, and so We
drain the bitter cup to the dregs.
