The Crisis and the TaiI0Ts--TeE
Thousand Operatives thrown out o.
Employment III New York.
There is, perhaps, no other class o
tradesmen who are already, and vii
be so seriously affected by the crsi;
as those employed in the manufacture
Of mems and boys clothing Their
are in New York (says the Herald,
about one hundred and twenty houses
engaged in the Wholesale clothing
business, the great bulk of whose Gus
toners are down South and out West
and who give occupation to about fiji,
teen thousand persons. Ifto these VIC
add the numbers whoare employed by
the retail clothing stores, or who do
business on their own account, the
whole force OF tailors in our city and
vicinity will tall little short of twenty
thousand. We say in the vicinity Of
New York, for all these operatives do
not live in our city, a large proportion
of them residing in Brooklyn, Jersey
City, Newark and other places within
a circuit of twenty miles of the me-
tropolis. OF these twenty.thousand
about one third are women, and of the
whole number nearly the same proper.
ton are supplied with sowing.ms.
chimes.
The value of the goods manulactur.
cd by this immense army Of opera.
tives is estimated at the yearly am mt
of twenty-five millions OF dollars
The sum paid in wages, averaging the
weekly amount Of each person in reg.
uIar and constant employment at six
dollars per week, is about six millions
OF dollars per year. Now, as at least
one.halfo of the whole number of opera.
tive tailors, both men and women, are
out OF work, the loss in wages during
the present season will be nearly two
millions ofdollms-that is, the work
men and workwomen will have loft
that anoHuk and will -haNas 10 "A
back upon tbeir own little savings fGr
sell their clothes and furni-
lure, and in the last resort, throw
themselves upon the charity Of the
community. II the present prostra-
ton continues, ihis loss in wages to
the operative taiIors will, of course, be
still further increased, while tho gro.
GERS and others who are partially de-
pendent upon them must suffer to the
extent to which their customers are af.
iected.

NORTH AND SoUTH. "A letter in the
Now York Times, dated Savannah,
and which that paper vouches for as
having been written by as staunch o
Republican as there is in the State of
New York, says: "FIenry Ward
Beecher, in one Of his lectures, says
in substance, that the excitement at
the South is like the boiling kettle,
that bolls over and puts the fire out
How mistaken Mr.. Beechcr is, and
OIL how Gearfully he deceives others !
All whom he cOnvinces will find
themselves fatally deceived here
There is no noise, no taunts, no def
ant threats. The people OF this State
have como to the conclusion, errone.
ously, that the mass of Northern peo.
pie are hostile to them and to their in.
StitutionS, and would, if they had the
power, abolish the institution Of sla.
very. Unfortunately, the North and
South, as | believe, misunderstood
each other, and these errors of opinion,
it is to be feared, can not easily OF in
time be corrected. The North has
not understood tie Southern feelings
it has not believed that there was any
general desire ordetermination on the
part of the South to secede. 1t has
regarded all such declarations as mere
menace, and never seriously intended
to be put into execution. Fatal mis-.
belief"

DPFort Moultrie, according to q
writer in South Carolina paper, is
not neglected. During the political
movements the garrison at the fort
have greatly improved the exterior
detences, apparently in preparation
for the day of action. The same wri-
ter says that the public is not admitted
within the fort, and hence nothing can
be known about the interior defences.
