According to table B, showing the
exports and imports of the Southern
States, with New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
and the Western States, compared with
those Of New York aud the New Eng
land States, it appears that a very un-
natural and injurious state of trade ex-
lists in our country, which ought to be
changed for the general good, aside
from any political considerations. All
interests are witlIeripg in the Southern
States, in consequence of the undue cen
tralization of trade in New York and
Boston. 1t appears from this table, that
while the Southern States, with Penn
syIvania and New Jersey, exported dur
ing the year ending 30th June, 1858,
Sl63, o40. .953, they only imported $45,-
S65,045. That, while New York and
the New England States imported the
value of $2l6,30 953, they only export
ed to tue value of $ll0,064,422. That,
while the lake-slore States, consisting
of Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Wiscon-
sin, exported to the value of 81, ,762, $40
they on y imported the value of 81 ,2O1,-
76l.
With but few exceptions, the natural
outlet for the exports Of any section of
our country, is the natural inlet for the
imports or return cargo. The above
figures show a widely different result.
A PICTURE OF GARIBALD1-Wc find in
a Naples correspondence of continent
tai journal, the following sketch of Ga
ribaldi:
| have heard him speak; l have been
near him; he is@wondertul. He has a
lions nature. His voice is resoIute and
decided; his hand large and body thick
set. In his moments of anger he must
be formidable. In repose his eye is
placid and his smile pleasant. He is
not man of genius but an apostle. He
walks in his faith, without weakness and
without fear; be performcs miracles. In
the tempest he is the man to step from
his boat and walk upon the water. lie
believes in his mission, as others believe
in their star; and he goes straight for
ward, sure Of his destiny, like all con-
querors. The other evening, during the
fight at Carmina when the soldiers fired
upon the people with guns and cannon,
he was unmoved. He offered cigars to
the National Guard that surrounded him,
and said Let us smoke while we are
waiting for them" But he feels danger,
and whenever he sees it, he cries 'Ci
vudo io!'-tbither | go. A singular
trait of his character is its perfect sim
plicity. He is the only great man of
my acquaintance who does not attitude
njze. A little grandiloquent in his
speeches-likc all true bclievcrs-he is
SO in good faith, and not for the sake of
grandiloquence. But in his private ill.,
tercourse he is the most familiar man in
the world. He receives all importunates
with a martyrs patience; he does not
keep them at a distance, nor speak to
them like an oracle. He is simple and
good. One trait among a thousand:
take the most common, because it is the
most striking. At Mcssina, | believe,
one of the former companions of Carl
baldi came and threw himself on his
knees before him, asking, he said, an
immense favor. ltrequired great effort
to make the man explain himself. At
last, when he had exhausted his excuses,
he said to the Dictator, Il would like
one of your buttons; would wear it
suspended from my neck as an amulet,
and be sure shall live forever" Carl
ba|di tore off one of his buttons and gave
it to the man. AS he has said himself,
he is the child of the people, and he is
adored by them. To the Lazzaroni he is
a saint. God has sent him to save the
country. Many call him Jesus Christ.
and his officers apostles. Aims are
asked in the name of Garibaldi; here
everything is translated into religion.
