The Pocket Nerve.

Our Philadelphia correspondent has an OPP
portunity of seeing the state of affairs in one
of the hot beds of abolitionism, Philadel-
phia, and intimates that the pocket nerve be-
ing the one we have control over, if judi
ciousiy used, can be made to save the Union.
this is so, we think the Union is not worth
much; so let US Of the South hasten to make
ourselves independent of it, by encouraging
home manufactures in every department, and
stop our further dependence on the North
If the Union then, is to he dissolved, let the
movement for dissolution come from the
North.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DAY BOOK.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2, 1859.
To the Editor Of the Day Book:
SIR "A few days sojourn here assures me
of serious alarm amongst the merchants.

the aboitionists and negroes to morrow or
upon the arrival of the remains of John
. strong turn out of police last night at a
public hall in which a sympathy meeting
was held.
There is deep feeling growing here un.
der the operation of that mere than caloric
power, Interest, that the South should be
soothed, not ridiculed. There are very many
business men who do not sympathise with
the enemies of the South, and feel as they
never felt before, the danger of losing their
Southern trade, the movement in Richmond
they consider ominous.
Their western trade has dwindled down to
almost nothing this season, and they cannot
afford to lose the South as a customer.
Look out for = reaction in public senti-
ment here and further North. The Shoe
trade cannot be given up without strug-
gle to retain it, that loat and others must
follow. The Pocket Nerve is the only one
we have control over, and by judicious use
of that we can do much to save the
UNION.

Singular Fatality.-Mr. S. b. Foss, Of
West Alton, N. H., was knocked down by a
heifer and had his neck broken, and on the
same day, brother of his was driving an
OK team, when the cattle being frightened,
he was knocked down, run over and fatally
injured. He died the same evening.
On the person of an old and ragged Ger
man, arrested lately in Cincinnati, for va
grancy were found $2ll in gold. When
placed in the station-bouse and relieved of
his little fortune, he wept like a child, and
begged the officers whatever they did with
his body, not to deprive him of the custody
OF his money.
A telegram in the Nord states that fourteen
youths, pupils in the Naval School, having

were, without trial, tied up in sacks, with
30-pound shot at their feet, and quietly
thrown into the Bosphorus. Their ages av-

The Dead Houses Of Europe. CORES.
pendent of the Troy Arena says:
In Frankfort-on-the-Ma and in Munich,
are dead-house, to which bodies are sent pre-
vious to burial, where they are kept for
some two or three days, for the purpose of
ascertaining whether life has become extinct
or not. On the fingers of the corpses are
placed thimbles, which are attached to a
cord communicating with bell. The slight
est movement of finger rings the bell and
thus, in case of suspended animation, efforts
are made to restore the body, instead of
burying it alive, as no doubt, often happens
in this country. In Munich it is compul.
sorry on the friends and relatives of all,
whether rich or poor, to send the body to
the dead-house, and allow it to remain GER
tain number OF days-the exact time have
forgotten. In Frankfort, l think, it is not
compulsory, but it is, nevertheless, custom
very generally followed.
