WARLIKE-As we were passing down
the landing to the Autocrat, last evening,
our attention was called TO a gentleman who
seemed to have Just landed from the steam
er. He was trudging along up the banE
with his carpet sack in one hand and
sword in the other. A glance at him natu-
rally conveyed the impression that hostil-
ties had Actually commenced
".... Orv exchanges show indications
that other points on the river are equally
dull as ours. We notice, daily, that boats
are recorded as laying up on account Of the
dull times although there is as much if not
more produce in the country than usual at
this season of the year. Owing to the
loss ofconhdenee among business men, trade
is entirely staguant. The maniacs who
have brought this state OF things upon the
country, will yet find, we predict, that they
have sown the wind, and will be compelled
to reap the whiriwind. Starvation will
overtake none in the North. We have
plenty to eat and to spare. 1t will be in
those sections where the crops we're short,
that pinching want will chill the blood and
paralyZe the limbs.
