The following extract from the correspondence
of the New York Tribune will show how valuable
is the trade of the South to the manufacturers of
New jersey No better comment could be made
upon the Importance of retaining the trade for
own city. New Jersey is one of our most active
competitors for the markets OF the slave States:
If Newark was ever really tinctured with the
doughface leayen, ever truckled tor Southern
patronage, it ought not to be considered surpris-
ing when one looks into the figures of the late
census returns. These show how intimate our
connection with the South has been and how
largely the industry of this great manufacturing
city has been dependent on it for support. Our pop
uation is y, 900, and the annual value OF our
manufactures is S23, 3,264,3 ,3l3. The leather manu-
facture in its various branches, amounts to more
than Sc 500 900, and of clothing to So, 500 000.-
About Sl6 000, 900 of the whole amount is manu-
factured for the South Now, with these figures
before you, imagine how this crisis falls upon u.s.
MANY of our concerns employing only quar-
ter of ther usual hands, while some have stopped
entirely. We have probably never experienced a
similar stagnation of business. 1t has lasted so
long too-nearly all Winter-and now we are alb
solutelv shut off from all export to our Southern
customers, even if they paid us beforehand.
Provision PANIC IN LoUIsvILLE.-Great excite
ment was created in Louisville on Monday by
rumors that large quantities of provisions were
being carried out Of that city By way OF the Nash
Vile Railroad and that want of food in Kentucky
was likely to be the consequence of these exporta-
tions. Threats were made to tear up the track
and would probably have been carried into effect
but for the counses of ce- tain influential citizens
Mr. Guthrie the President of the road promptly
Investigated the truth of the exciting rumors, and
at public meeting of citizens, held on the sue
ceeding day, declared that the fears of famine
were groundess. There was every prospect, he
stated, of an abundant wheat crop in Southern
Kentucky, which would be ready for the market
in short time. They had nearly three thousand
pounds of pork in the city he said, with upwards
of ten millions pounds of bacon, and that more is
arriving daily. committee of from each
ward was appointed to investigate and report au-
horitativey upon the quantity of provisions in the
city.

sADDENlNG WORDS.

There are many euphonious words in the Eng
lish language-more perhaps than in any other
modern tongue except the Italian-of which the
sound 90 harmOnizes with the sense, that they
charm at once the ear and the heart. The vocal
body, 20 to speak, with which the sentiment is
clothed, seems a. appropriate to it - . lovely
countenance to the possessor of Q beautiful mind.
: Home,' Love- 'Slumber,' 'Caress,' Welcome,
belong to this category; but it is in certain pa
thetic expressions that the agreement of sound
and sentiment strikes rs % most perfect. Poe
said that 'Nevermore was the most mournful
of all words; Byron gave the same melancholy
prominence to Farewell and Doctor johnson
thought that Of all phrases The last was the
most touching. The last look - the last sigh
-'the last of earth these are certainly solemn
and affecting utterances; but We think, with a
late writer, that there is more real pathos in the
word gone than in any other in the language.
To use Spanish, or rather Moorish metaphor,
it is "full OF tears" How it appalls the sense
and desolates the heart Of the weeping watcher
when spoken, ever DO softly in the chamber OF
death. Gone lit cuts off all hope. 1t vibrates
on the air like the tone of passing bell Gone,
forever!-what four sylables in any language
comprehend 90 much Of mystery, and desolation
and woe! 'Gone' says the lorn mother, when
the dark angel has borne away the last lamb OF
her fair flock, and ! am left alone, alone r
Gone 7 shrieks the distracted widow a. she reads

The FoRTIFIcAfIONs on THE AIcHIeAS FRON-
rIRR-The New York Post, in . long article on
our frontier deienses, makes the following men
tion of the works in this State:
The first of the line OF important works which
would form the basis of operations on the North
are the barracks at the Sault Ste Marie, where
eight or ten guns can be mounted. No troops
have been stationed there for some time the
garrison at present consisting Of the widow of an
officer who receives thirty five dollars q month
tor the care of the work.
At Aackinaw, the next position on this line,
there are works which mount ten guns, com.
mandng the straits Of Aackinaw, connecting
Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. The impOr
tance Of this position, in the event OF extensive
naval operations on the upper lakes, and from
the natural facilities afforded by the localities
for the establishment of almost impregnabls
works, cannot be over estimated.
Fort ST. Clair, near the mouth of the St. Clair
river, which connects Lake Huron, with Lake
ST. Clair forms q link in this chain of defsnses
1t is situated about thirty five miles above De-
trOit, and commands the communication between
Lake Huron aud Lake Erie. No troops have oc
cupied it for some time past, but it can easily be
placed in . defensible condition,
The works at Detroit, in addition to their i'm.
portance in the chain of frontier defenses, have
an additional consequence in defending popu.
lous and wealthy city, situated At . point the
most exposed TO direct attack, on the entire
line. a.. i1 .-
Fort Wayne, at this point, is in condition to
mount its entire armament The officers quar-.
tiers and barracks are still unfinished. The fort
has been the object of several appropriations by
Congress, but is still in need of considerable
amount to fit it for receiving garrison. Il has
been in charge of a fort keeper during the past
two years.

mothers to sons, and sisters to brothers. There
vas one, however, who attracted more attention
than the rest. She vas . girl of some seven
teen summers, scantily but neatly dressed, and.
but for the care which marked every feature Of
her countenance, would have been termed
pretty.
"This letter" said she to the lady who re
ceived her, sis for my brother. Will it reach
him, do you Think"
"It will, certainly"

how our soldiers were suffering in Western Vir

l found my Tressy milking
In the bIithsOme summer morn,
When the dew was on the clover,
And the tassel on the corn,
Sweeter than any red rose
In her royal, reigning hours;
The yellow hair about her eyes,
And her bare feet In the flowers.
Oday Of days thy memory
Will never fade, nor pass
Patches Of snowy violets
Were clouding all the grass
The jealous brook lay fretting
Between his banks Of moss,
And shrugged his dimpled shoulders
Asl lightly leap'd across
Adown her cheek the bushes
Ran ripping like vail,
Into the bosom, warm and white
As the milk within her pail
As told my love to rressy
