New ORLEANS, Jan. 16, 2 P. N. 1861.

NE" ohlEhNSi yam ~, -
There seems to be n lull here in the excite.
ment growing out OF the present political
crisis. The city, in the appearance it presents
at this season of the year, indicates clearly
that sone great revolution, Of one character
or another, has occurred among the people,
which has either caused them to stay at
home or turn their travel in another dlrec~
ton than New Orleans. The streets do not
look fuller than they do in June or july
but it affords me pleasure to state, that from
what little conversation and connection with
some Of the business men, and others in the
city. which we have had. there appears TO be
a returning cllmncsS aud confidence, and we
may say hop, fitness, I've speak in a business
hcht) among all. This il owing, not to any
evidence Of returning reason Or Heg CreT had
ang) among the Back R'ruhiicans, but 1t
is the natural result emsrat'ng from the
spirit now budding in the Border States, to
connect their destiny before the +th OF March
next, with the other Southern States, or
those which have declared their independence.
The convention in Tennessee, which takes
place next month, is nothing less than Sc
ression.-Such will he the case in Virginia
before Tennessee acts doubt, sand Mis-
souri,, we may rest aSSured-if matters do
not assum a more yielding disposition at the
North-will not long lssg bchind-nor will
Kentucky.
These events are sufficient to bring back
10 the feeling of the people of this State,
that confidence which the political storm
since November had so dreadful'y SHAKEN.
We therefore feel assured that we have seen
the worst of pecuniary depression, and that
the payment Of debts, among all honorable
men, will soon 60 on with the same promp-
titude as ever
The regular reader Of the papers cannot
but discern that there is an uprising among
the common sense people Of the North-a-
mong the patriotic and unprtjudiced. This
morning, as an evidence among others that
we have seen, we see it stated that an Abo.
Hti0nist speaker in a town in Massachusetts,,
was mobbcd, driven off, and the house
smashed!-Wh Satan, next, be expelled
from his Platonic regionl This act is extra.
ordinary, ard it is sign iicant Of the feeling
among the free States, in some localities
favorable to the South.
In the paper If this morning and evening,
there are no d spstches. Everything at pres
ent seems in Statu quo. Excitement at Charl-
eston seems to have subsidized. The Brook

Posrr1oN OF VIRGINIA.-The Richmond


Posrr1oy OF VIRGINIA.-The Richmond
Dispatch, of the 9th, says:
The General Assembly of Virginia is
steadily marching onward in the curse
which, we trust, will bring about a un-
tied South, prevent war, secure a peace
able adjustment of difficulties, and pos
sibly reconstruct the confedcracy. The
decided resolutions against the coercion
of a seeding State by the General Gov
crnment, which passed the House of
Delegates, on Monday, with five dissent
inc voices, were passed by the Senate
Yesterday, with only n vote in the ne
gative. Of course, it matters not about
the one vote. It's of no consequence.
Virginia has taken her position, and
she has done it with unanimity and
frmness, and she will not shrink from
it. If the Legislators had not taken it,
the people would have taken it fOl
themselves. If the Legislature had moi
reflected the public sentiment, it coult
not have restrained the people They
would have acted on their own motion
and upon their W sentiments.
We trust, now, the General Assembl,
will pass promptly a bill calling a con
%vention at an early day. The countie
have, with great unanimity, favored
convention and if it be called at once
it will very much relieve the publ
mind.

When she visited the Tower Of Lon
