PANIC m NORTHERN TEXAS
A correspondent Of the st. Louis Democrat,
writing from t1e Rcd River Valley under date
Of February 9Eh, says:
Yesterday, IN conversation with gentleman
from the town Of Mckinney, Texas, learned
that the recent crazy action Of that State has
already created quite panic in many portions
Of the State. Thousands Of families are
anxious to sell of their property aud e1nigrate
to California. Many Of the most enterprlsing
farmers, formerly IRON the Northern States,
have determined to go back to their old homes;
u Valuable farms and taWn lots" said my in
formant, 81 can now be bought for mere song.
Negroes Will scarcely sell for half as much Is
they wonld bring eight months ago. And I
will venture tho prediction" he continued,
"that not more than year Viii elapse before
porous and fourishing, will be entirely depop-
ulated, unless this mad attempt at secession
Is speedily stoppcd.n
But what care the, leaders Of this treasonar
BILE rebellion foF all these thfngag They have
selfish and wicked ends to accomplish, aud
stopping to count the cost, from fanaticism to
ffatricide aud final suicide. They do not wish
the people to have time to reflect, to take the
sober second thought, lest they see them {the
leaders, in their true characters fanatica1

gardIess Of Consequences, and In VAN hope Of
selfaggrandlzement = real monarchists at
heart, who know that while the Constitution,
the Union, and Repph hIean integrity lasts, they

AN INSIDE VIEW.
The Pittsburgh Chroniele publishes long
and very interesting letter from 9 resident at
Atlanta, Ga. It places the responsibility Of
clans states that the wea1thier merchants
there are going to protest; that negroes which
were worth 81 500 q year 1go, now sell for
$500; that hands which could not be hired for
$15o, are now easily; had for s75; that there is
not corn enough in Georgia or Alabama to last
purchase It with. The writer Of the letter pro-
tests against Northern men offering any COM
promises, ias concession will only tend to PRO.
duco anarchy, while it will increase the con-
tempt with which they are regarded In TINT
section. He says-:.
all party feeling in dealing with the South, and
on the question Of the preservation Of the
Union, they should let the Band-hi1lers Of
South Carolina, the Georgia Crackers and the
Alabama Hoosiers know they are in earnest,
and not to be bu1lied ont Of their position BY
threats Of blood, civil war, starvation &c.,with
which their Representatives In Congress are 30
fond Of interlarding- their speeches. A firm
and dignIGed course Fill be more apt to insure
their Fespect, and to bring peace aud harmony
to our distracted county, than al the con
cessions they c4n make.
