NoN-INTERcoURsE.-T New Yerk Inlepend-
ent of the past week, reports follows of the dry
goods trade of New York:
There is more appearance of business !; pack
ages are being openrd and attracting early
buyers, mostly from the South. There is ap-
pearance of backwardness on the part of South
ern buyers to make early purchases The fact is,
they cannot DO without goods This Is the cheap
est for the purchase of goods, and Southern
ers cannot afford pay too high for their goods,
which they must do if they buy elsewhere. The
largest and best assortments are here, and at the
cheapest rates Charleston jobbers, as we'll as
New Orleans buyers, are on here at the present
moment, making large selections, and expecting e
to duplicate them by and by. French goods are
coming into market at increased costs, if not in
creased prices. Both British and French printed
and silk goods are attracting customers to fair
extent for the season. The choice styles of dress
goods are hardly in full variety, and the market
price of desirable goods is hardly settled the full
supply and demand having not yet met. There
is rather doing in domestic goods The ac
cident at the Pemberton Mills will diminish the
supply of stripes, ticks, denims, and other kinds
manufactured there, These mills had TO supply
large orders on time. which now cannot be done.
The goods in market of this kind have been
bought up Cotton heavy goods in good de-
mand, and prices firm Prints are active, and at
advanced prices. Fancy cassimers are in grow
ing demand.

hG-It seems that our last Monday pa
per' was worked off on Sunday night late,
contrary to our cypress orders. We directed
the work to be done on Monday morning,
and supposed it had, as matter of course,
been 80 done. We shall take care in the
future to have our directions implicitly car
ried out.
We are determined to have no Sunday
work done about the establishment unless it
is rendered necessary by some accident in
the office or some important news outside.
If Ifanything of moment happens on Sunday,
either here or abroad, we shall give it on
Monday morning; but as rule, the Journal
office shall have rest on the Sabbath.
A Daily paper here can bepublished with
out Sunday work, with occasional excep-
tions; and no such epithet as "piOus Jour
nal shall deter US from observing the
morsl and physical laws which require the
observance of the Sabbath.
If it is " meddling" to set ourselves right
before right-thinking community, the En-
guirer can make the most of it.

SoUTH CARoLIEA IN THE NATIONAL Con-
TENrIoN-The Charleston Nea0s says -.
We do not speak unadvisedly when we say
that the South Carolina delegation will not
submit to the nomination OF Douglas and
that it will insist that the platform ofshe
Convention shall contain an endorsement of
the Dred Scott decision, that the Southern
people are entitled TO have their slave pro-
perty protected in the Territories 1t is as
well TO broach, at once and directly, the
main proposition Involved to wit, that if
Douglas is nominated, the State OF South
Carolina will not give him her electoral
vote That vote viii be as potent To defeat
the success of the Black Republican party
if given to another statesman, as if given
to Douglas; while the refusal to east it will
but illustrate the dignity and constitutional
views of South Carolina. Let the election,
if necessary, fail in the Electoral College,
and go into the House of Representatives,
(where each State casts but one and an equal
vote, and let the issues come. They shonld
come i'll an 4 ssembly provided by the Con
stituton, and where there is official respon-
sibility. They will never rightly come, nor
will they find solution in the irresponsible
caucuses or conventions of mere party

Fatal Anray between students.

John B. Brownlow, SOC of DR.. Brown
low OF the Knoxville Whig, had difficulty
at Emory and Henry, College, Va, q few
days since, with student from Georgia
named Reese, and the former struck the lat
ter with stick of stove wood and killed
him.
The Nashville Banner says:
1t seems that Brownlow was a candidate
for President of one of the literary societies
of the college, and was denounced by Reese
as incompetent for the duties of the position,
His language was quite offensive and
Brownlow ,retorted with some severity
They subsequently, met, and Reese attacked
Brownlow, threw him down and was beat
ing him severely, when little boy interferss
ed and succeeded in partially separating
them. The attack was renewed by Reese,
when Brownlow seized a stick of stove wood
with which he struck Reese on the head,
killing him instantly. 1t is not supposed
that BroWnlow intended to kill him, as the
stick was small and the blow did not seem
to be aimed with much force. The letter
also states that Brownlow is justified by the
Faculty and students of Emory and Henry.
Brownlow's age is about twenty years.
He is quite small, weighing only about one
hundred and ten pounds. Reese was some
what older and much larger, weighing one
hundred and seventy pounds. He was far
superior to his antagonist in strength.

an amendment to include the widows of
Generals Macomb and Riley.
Thaddeus Hyatt was brought in and re-
piled in writing to the questions propound-
ed to him. He denies the authority and
jurisdiction of the Harper's Ferry Inves-
tigating Committee. After a portion had
been read, debate sprung up as to the ref
erence of the whole to the Committee, to
report a synopsis of the document, which
occupied several quires of paper.

M Gurley, from the Committee on Print
ing, reported joint resolution repealing n
part of the act of March last, the object
being, he said, to give the House the con-
troll of its own printing. This resolution
would not add to the expense, but give to
the House Printer one-half of the compenSa-
ton.
Mr.. Vallandingham said the resolution
designs to repeal part OF the act of 1859,
which forbids under bidding.
Mr. Barksdale said it proposed a system
of plumber for the benefit of the House

Mr. Pryor said the object of the resolu-
ton was to compel the Senate printer to
divide the spoils with the House printer, who
was destitute of capital, and who was anx-
ious to transfer the job.
Mr.. Stanton would not repeal the pre-
vious law preventing the printer from trans
| ferring the offer, because the principle was
correct, and they should net elect ans man
who not here prepared to execute the
| printing. As he could see good object to
be accomplished by the resolution, he was
opposed to it.
Mr. Gurley denied that the object Of the
resolution was to divide the plunder. 1t
was to have the work speedily executed.
There was an interminable debate on
this subject and the binding, in which
Messrs. Pendleton, Gurley, Haskin Hin

A ADEFALoATIoN.-We learned yesterday,
that Mr.. G. BANKS, Cashier of the Farmers
Bank of Henderson, KY, had acknowledged
that he had appropriated some $4,000 or
$40, 900 of the funds of that institution to
his own private use. Mr.. Banks has been
i'll for some time, and although never sus-
pected by the officers of the Bank, yet his
conduct weighed so heavily on his mind,
that at last he sent for the President of the
Bank and confessed the whole matter. 1t
seems that the unfortunate man has been
appropriating the funds of the bank to his
own use for several years, and yet did it so
adroitIy as never to excite any suspicion in
the minds of the President or Board of Di-
rectors. After confessing his guilt, Mr.
Banks assigned all of his property to the of
fcers of the Bank to secure them from loss
Whether his property would meet all tht
liabilities incurred by his conduct, we did
not ascertain.
