Besides, this secession euanates fr"m Columbia,

double suggestion. One is that Columbia be
the capital Of the Southern Confederacy and

What Our Enc mics Predict.
We clip the following from the Philadelphia
Enquire, clip it from an article in which
that paper ridicules the idea that anything will
be done by the Southern States:S We com
mend it to our readers:
'sGeorgia says 20 Alabama, you 60 first =
Alabama says to South Carolina '.You go
hrst," and South Carolina seems to be di-
vided between the advocates of separate,
and cooperative, secession, with certain
number of so o-called .submissionists,' probably
large enough to quash all action But some
thing must be done, and have doubt
something will be. High -stomached and full
of ire are these gentry, and it will never do to
back down after all their hgh-soundng
threats. There remains the usual safety-valve
of Southern politicians--reselutiens. We have
no doubt, therefore, that convention of some
resoute resolutions, make and listen TO tic
most fierce and fiery speeches which will be du-
ly printed in the New York Herald and other
sensation papers, after which they will ad-
journ to meet again on the ruins ofthe Capitol,
and disunion will die natural death"

business affairs here Wall street looks
pasticulary cerulean. Southern funds are SO
hard 10 sell, rs to be almost worthless to the
mcrchnnt-and 10 per cent is the current rate
OF discount for ma ajority of the bank bills of
tie slaveholding States. One authority dcclars
that men who thirty days ago could find
collateral which would obtain them thousands,
cannot to-day, upon the same description of
security, realize single dollar.
But this is not the worst of it. The working
classes are beginning to feel the pinch. AT
their very hearth stones. have already men
toned the suspension of trade, by two leading y
clothing houses in this city, who jointly
employed 700 hands, and now must be added
the discharge Of sixty more, from one of the
principal silver manufacturing establishments
In the city, Some of these were parties who had
served for years as apprentices in the cs
tablishment.
The Williamsburg tailors--of whom many
hundreds just now have nothing to do-are TO
have public meeting this week, TO consult as
10 what is best to be done. If they have no
work they cannot starve, they say, when the
granaries of the country and the store houses
OF New York are overlooking with plenty OIL
food.
