This, we believe IVES tue language o. A-. CA
1t is highly applicable 70 the present crisis. We are
ceIta iuy in the m DIST OF condition of affairs thai
has al the accompaniment and ;ncided Of a revo
luton We have soverisl State resolving to Sc
cede from the Union, commercial houses topping
banks suspending manufactures stopping, together
with all the parapherna'ia of military preparation
The 9th of of November or the election of BEAHAN
L'VcoLN was the beginning of this revolution. Il
1oas the revolution 1t was the 'tation of q
sectional and hostile rule over the Peep c of the
Southern States, which Dir. FL MORE declared four
years ago, ought not be submitted to by spirited
people and t0Old not be submitted u by the South
ern States. Some of the concomitants Of this reyo
luton detailed by The New York Journal of Com.
mace in the presentation of the following facts:
Yesterday there arrived BY the steamer CITY OF
Hartford, from Hartford, $50 cases of SharI,'s
patent carbines containing 10 pieces each, NAL ng
in all arms for 500 men, and 20 cases of conical
balls, each containing 1000 bullets or 10000 car
tTidges in the aggregate. These arms and ammuni-
ton were ordered by telegraph from the Governor
OfGeorgia and viii be sent 10 Savannah by the next
steamer. The saLle factory has also received or
ders from Alabama for 200 stands of the same
death-dealing weapons.
Cooper & Pond, of this city, receive from twenty
TO fifty orders daily from South Carolina, Alabama
and Georgia-and people who suppose that the
South is not paying customer may be astonished
to know that their business transactions in this line
are strictly on a cash basis. Cash within thirty
days is their invariabe rule. Most of the orders
are for rifles and Navy revolvers, though Cooper &
Pond supply an immense number OF flint lock mus
ketS. They lately sent twenty gun carriages 10
Georgia, and have done brisk business in all kinds
Of small arms and ammunition with all the princi-
pal Southern States
Another large house in this city has filed orders
for about 5000 stand Cf musleLs of the IT, S. pa b
tern, and has sold large quantities of artillery
swords and army pistols. Its orders come from all
the Southern States but mainly from those in which
secession is regarded the only remedy for South
ern grievances. A third extensive establishment
has supplied an immense number of Colts revOlvers
and rifles to Georgia, principally TO Columbus. Al
the wholesale houses and agencies in The ely have
been hard pressed TO supply the orders for every
Imaginable species Of weapon To the above list
may be added Ames' Manufacturing Co.. which has
furnished Georgia with cannon and with 300 artil-
lery swords, and has done a large miscellaneous
business with all the aggrieved States.
The journal of Commerce introduces these facts
with the following appropriate remarks:
These Republican editors, preachers and lectu-
who think that the indignation Of the South is
best put down by ridicue and who, therefore lavish
the resources OF their butfOOnery upon every re.
ported attempt of Southern State to avn her cid
zensfor an impending conflict, will iud in the follow
and that the calamites of disunion, which they
would laugh away with their iltmed jests, are &C
tually imminent
twill thus be seen that the revolution is an
earnest movement on the part ofthe Southern States.
Nor is it confined to the South. The commercial
and labOring classes at the North are feeling its ef
fects, with a severity and suddenaess that must have
powerful effect upon the course and policy OF the
North, if it does not produce another and better
revolution in favor Of justice and more fraternal
feeling towards the South than has heretofore
existed. We trust that the war may be fought out,
where it has begun on a commercial basis and that
lhere may be found no use for the arms that have
been provided, in consequence of the completeness
o. the severe remedy that has first been resorted TO-
The serious nature Of ths latOry result of the re-
vOlution mas be seen from the following paragraph
which we also take from the Je,uHaI o. Commerce
STorPACE OF BUsNEss.-Owing to the partial sus-
pension Of orders from the South The small rcceipts
Of cash from that quarter, and the PREVAILING dis
trust and uncertainty as to the future manufactu-
ring operations have been suspended or greatly re-
duced by many large houses, thereby throwing M
merOus persons out Of employment. One clothing
establishment which we might name has dischared
1900 hands; hat establishment has discharged
nearly 1000; saddlery firm has reduced It's force
shout 500; and curtailment is very general At
Newark especially, the crisis is severely felt on NC
Of their extensive connections with the South
ern trade. Should there be no Improvement much
suffering must ensue among the laboring classes
1t appears singular at first sight, that thus far
houses in the Western business are the argest suffer-
eIs; but it is inevitable that all classes of traders
suffer from the prevailing panic, unless we except
the manufacturers of firearms. 1t would probably
be no exaggeration TO estimate the number of per-
sens thrown out Of employment since election day,
at 5000; large proportion Of whom are young
women.
