Reign Of Terror is approaching in this countr,
pregnant with the most disastrous results d
both North and South.
Travellers from the Northern sections Of tn,
Union are not only looked upon with suspicion
in the Southern States, but In many sections O.
that region they are stopped in their travels
and obliged to give satisfactory account O.
themselves and their business. If they have
not some local acquaintance who can vouch fol
them, they are followed through all their in
goings and out-comings, and not unfrequently
find themselves face to face with Vigilance
Committee charged with the preservation Of
public order and the expurgation of the com.
munity from Northern abolitionists This is
particularly the case with the travelling agents
OF Northern manufacturers and merchants,
who, in consequence Of the prevailing excite.
ment, are looked upon with great suspicion.
There are numerous concerns in this portion of
the country have sent out agents, and made
great preparations to meet their orders from
theSouth for goods, that already find themselves
in pecuniary embarrassment from the fact that
their agents, instead Of sending home orders
for goods write the most doleful letters in re-
gard to their business prospects.
We have seen some Of these letters, and the
contents of others have been communicated to
us. They all tell the same story. Newark car
riages and harness, Lynn boots and shoes,
Lowell and Manchester domestics, Connect
cut notions, and, in fact, articles generally of
N6F{hQrF furo cfo
not even offered for sale in the South, while
agents who endeavor to push their disposal
are looked upon with the greatest suspicion. In
fact, with the exception ola few large seaboard
cities, it is worse than useless-it is positively
dangerous-for man to announce himself as
the agent Of Northern concern. To such an
extent is this feeling beginning to operate, that
negotiations that were being carried on by
Southerners for the purchase Of property in the
North are being suspended or abandoned. A
gentleman assured us few days since that he
had received orders from client in the South
to stop the purchase of land in this vicinity,
which he was about making for him, on the
sole ground that the tone of Northern feeling
was so hostile to the South he would stay at
home and employ his surplus capital in some
form that would stimulate local and friendly
industry.
the North and the South are being gradually
severed. under the growing influence of the
terror that Northern agents of the aboli-
tionized black republican party are busily
fomenting servile war in the South and
every Southern man feels that it is not slavery
alone, but the lives of himself and his loved
wife an d children, that are involved.
And this, in fact, is what is involved. The
Trib,yu, has lately published in its columns a
letter o Theodore Parker, containing FIVE phi
losopai cal postulates of the doctrines an
in the brutal and bloody speech of
Senator Seward at Rochester, inculcated by
Helper, practised by John Brown, and endorse /
