quiesce, and are preparing accordingly. The most
important feature in the general market yesterday
was decline in the rates of freight for Europe.
Engagements were made at i'd. for cotton to Lv-
erpool. This will influence the grain market,
though the rates for grain have not ruled as high
in our market this season, comparatively, as in
New York-l5d. per bushelis the current rate for
corn to Liverpool. The last quoted rates in New
York were III and l3d per bushel The move
ments in grain have been on free scale. Several
parcels of corn have been taken for Europe during
the past ten days. The receipts of Western pro-
duoe this season at our levee show large increase
over last year, as will appear by reference to the

w. I'll. Seward.

The Washington correspondent OF the New
York Express, in a tribute to the personal
popularity of Senator JEFFERSON DAVIS OF
Mississippi, even among the Republicans,
says:
at was in the house of Col Davis that Mr. Sew
ard made the remarkable confession about year
ago. that his peculiar notions the si0Uey cues
ton acre maintained merely for political effect. So, at
least, Col. Davis has frequently asserted, and
without contradiction. IL seems, therefore, that
we, the people. are about to fly at each other :
men who have mounted the negro not because
they love him, but because, through him, they
hope to dictate, from the high places of the Gov
ernment, to the white man. This is 'Republi-
canism' with a vengeance
This is indeed "Republicanism,' and, alas !,
the melancholy history OF all Republics is that
not only the people bave been sacrificed, but
at last, the Republic itself, TO crafty the am
bltiou of lamac ooneS

i Patriotic PeOple.

The whole disposable male force of the
Commonwealth has been summoned to attend
a muster on the 4th of February. for the pur-
pose OF being drafted for duty in the State
Convention. There has been an almost unani-
nous response to this patriotic summons,
scarcely one man in a thousand showing the
least Discrimination to rush into the perilous
breach of the Constitution and serve his coun-
try. No qualification seems to be required
but knowledge of reading and writing, or
an ability to make II mark and enough of
arithmetic to count Number One
