GIBSON HOUSE, GIN. Dec. 18th 1860.
DEAR LUTE:-When I last wrote
from Memphis l thought of going to
Charleston S. G. but as there is no poss-
ible opportunity of making anything in
the South this winter, | steered my
course for the free North. The msera-
bic cowardly Democrats have brought
this state of things upon the Country, and
now let them reap the consequences
The proprietors of the Overton House
and of Cooks Block (Memphis) dis
charged all their workmen on the morn
ing of the 5th inst. about 800 men,
The South is suffering ten times more
than the North from the panic. There
we're l4O failures in New Orleans last
week, 65 occurring on the 4th and 5th.
That is going down with vengeance,
you see now what the Wanted South is.
When tits news was telegraphed to
Memphis, came to the conslusion that
the sunny, panic stricken, Democratic
secession-bankrupt South was no place
for me. The people in the South
are drawing out miserable life of fear
from mighty outbreak Of their glowing
nlggers," Let them die a thousand
deaths, towards and guilty men always
do. left Memphis on the 9th and en-
tered the Ohio river on the 7th. I am
Giucn disappointed in the appearance of
the Ohio Valley, having ever supposed
to be one of the most delectahIe spots in
the world. inere ale many very hand
some towns and villages on the banks Of
the river. One very striking feature is
the superiority of the buildings, streets
and the appearance of the inhabitants.
on the left bank of the river, in the Free
States. The contrast of the two sides of
this river is sufficient to condemn the
present = Democratic sacred system of
union-saving slavery. Even in the COM
paratively free state of Kentucky the ap-
pearance in the towns, villages, streets,
men, women and children improves per-
ceptibly in every so miles, so that at
Covipgton opposite here everything
looks as if an enlightened free people
live there. The Queen City is really a
brisk city, but trade is rather dull on ac-
count of the reasonable movements of
Southern Democrats. The office of the
Aoency of the Etna ms. Co. is one Of
the most complicated, yet the best ar
ranged institutions have ever seen.-
J. B. Bennett the general agent is a
Young man but attends to an immense
amount of business. He is very gentle
manly but seems worn by severe Ia
Dor.
There is much sympathy entertained
here for the South. Some of the dough-
faced Democrats here have the audacity
to propose course for Mr.. Lincoln in
order to appcase the Slave power. 1t is
that be throws over the Republican party
that he appoints his cabinet principally
from Southern men who did not vote for
him, and the remainder from Northern
Union uen who did not vote for him.
This is actually published in the Demo
cratic papers here. Oh! such contempt.
bl baseness. l have again TO say that
the great victory in favor of Freedom has
been won, and if the friends of liberty
only remain true to themselves all will
soon be well. Let them not yield an
inch. shall be in Madison before the
lst day of Jasuary and any persons hav-
ing any business in the Supreme Court,
or Mt the School Land office can entrust
the same to me and it will be attended to
PROMPTLY. / shall remain in Madison
until the opening Of navigation when l
will return to Prescott.
