This shows at a glance the fluctuations of our for
eign trade.
Previous to, 1856 dry goods constituted about
one-half of our imports. Since that period it has
averaged much less. Owing to the panic in 1858,
the importation of dry goods in 1859 nearly equaled
all other imports.
The revenue to the country derived from these
importations and collected at this port during the
month of July last was $4,504066 Oh; in 1868 it
was So, 1885,, 305 SO; in 1859, 81, 857, 246 49, The
amount is largely in advance of the revenue receiv-
ed in 1868, and somewhat short of that of 1852
The exports Of all kinds to foreign ports in July,
1860, were $14463, 1893. Of this $6,56S, 1856 was
specie and bullion, and $7,525,71S domestic pro-
duce.
The entire exports from this port of our own pro-
ductions for the first months of 1853 amount
ed to $50, 1862 344; 1859, $685. 373, 647; 1860 $46-
28l, $50. This important increase, in connection
with the decrease of importations, is important as
indicating the permanent prosperity of the country
The exports Of -four are nearly 100 per cent
greater than they were last year. The increased
expectation of wheat and corn is also very large
On the whole our country is prosperous in the ex-
IRENE. All our citizens have reason to be satisfied
with its business and proud of its prosperity.-N

The contest (SenatoriaD in Nash county between

The latter after bard and well fought battle sue
ceeded in ousting his competitor by majority of
eight votes. Although this canvass was not equal
in 6erceness and acrimony to previous ones it did
not wholly pass without scenes of violence and
bloodshed that would not have disgraced Baltimore

were more or less inured-two of them, Mr.. David

Tended power and crush this vile system Of plug
uglyism and terrorism which for so long time has
deed alike the law and its administrators in their
county.
It Is the only county in the State from which
Judge has been compelled to fee to avoid lynch
ing and that too for the performance of plain and
imperative duty-the only one so far as we know,
wherein county court has ever been forcibly ad-
journed, and the only we deyoutly trust where
free born American citizens are afraid to exercise
the glorious privilege of the elective franchise or do
it-some of them at least-wthout daring to con-
fess to their neighbors what they have done.
Nay, to such condition have matters fallen in
that county. that they who dare to despise clique
and cabal and vote as they pease-the God given
prerogative of even the humblest in our happy
land-stand in imminent jeopardy of their lives
We are credibly informed that on the election day
at Nashville, the Sheriff was compelled to summon
Posses to escort certain persons among whom was
the C.. g. Clerk to their homes-their only offence
being the way in which they voted. This is truly
u horrible state of affairs for free country.
Nash is glorious county in some respects-we
have heavy patronage there, for which we
thankful, and many friends, to whom we are at
tached Among its citizens many intelligent,
patriotic energetic and estimable men. But-all its
good, in the estimation of the world abroad, will be
neutralized by the ascendelcy Of rascals. If doz
