BUSINESS AT THE SOUTH.

Notwithstanding the almost general
prostration Of business, especially at the
North, in view of the national crisis. there
are some encouraging signs elsewhere -
We see it stated in the Alexandria Gazct-
te that the mills for the manufacture o!
cloth in Virginia have orders to fl II that
will keep them busy until May next The
demand is from all parts Of thu South,
and from New Orleans there are large
orders for Virginia spun" This
is encouraging, ard we hope that it may
continue. There is also report that the
Gosport (Va.) iron works will be reopened
about the first of next month. These are
al encouraging and cheering signs for
the South. Meanwhile, the suspension of
operations and the discharge Of workmen
go on at The North. \ contemporary Illus
irates the effect Of Lincoln 8 elect on out
West by citing the case OF one State. The
others are rs bad, If not worse of.
Michigan gave Lincoln 10000 majority.
Michigan has 100000 bushels o: wheat
to sell, which before Lincoln election
brought 81 03 i, now is drug at 50

per bushel, amounts to the snug little sum
of one million one hundred and twelve

SUFFERING IL NEw IoHK.-The large
number Of poor men thrown out Of en-.

fortunate condition OF the country is ex-
citing much attention and commlssera,ion
in that city. A letter from that city says
There is some talk about the Mayor
sending u special message to the Common
Council, recommending measures of relief
for the mechanics and laborers out of
work, if not cut OF food There is also
deep feeling of resentment in this city
toward the Republicans, who are accused
MS the authors of all the troubles thai
have come upon the country, and rs the
men who have taken the bread out Of the
mouths of women and children. This
feeling does not appear on the surface OF
things, but as soon as the waters IRE
stirred it will oole up and lead to fresh
trouble. la the course Of the week there
will probably be- an effort made by the
Union and conservative men Of oil parties
to get up demonstration in favor of con
citation and compromise, but its success
is doubtful, few believing that it will do
any good in the present position Of affairs

We have talked with Esquire Chesebro

s%ertion. He refused to make any per-
stnal pledges, and referred inquircrs as to
his position. to the delegation from Har-
risen, in whose hands he left the whole
matter, with the express understanding
that lie and they were to abide by the
decision Of the Convention. The reason
we made the inquiries in this matter was

might be. We believe we have now
