Il is now estimated. says the St..
Louis Democrat, that the total impor-
sations OF merchandise 10 the United
States for the year ending on the 3lst
OF December rsxt will bc some SIZE,
900 900, or fifty per cent. less than
in 1850. This leaves a heavy debt
due Ms in specie. the import OF which
for this yea will be over $4,000, 900.
Last year we exported $4,000, 900
in specie over imports, TO cancel the
balance against US. Thus there is a
difference, in a single year, in the
EXCHANGES between our WI and for
eign countries, Of more than $780,
OO0.O 900 in specie in our favor.
The business panics that have al
fictcd MS have hitherto been traced
10 a state Of affairs directly the reverse
of that thus shown. We have dis
penssd with the purchase Of some
$780, 600. 900 Of goods from foreign
ehores. and are the richer for It. we
arc safe from panics-of the old and
regularly recurring kind, at least.
The banks can not fear ANY dram q
specie from the country, for tide Is
setting heavily westward across the
Atlantic at the rate Of more than ST.
OO0.O O0 each week. The country
has proved strongest under its heavi
est burden, BY simply dispensing will
superfnous weight. The diminutlot
ofimportations has cost Ne no incon
v~enicncc that merits attention. but ha
rendered us more independent an'
self-sustaining. We can find or max
in our own country whatever is need
ed for health, comfort. or de~lectatlon
aud this is the grand secret OF on
strength. For u exports 20 on wit
little diminuticn, and we have to b
paid for them largely in specie. Th
exports from New York city arc est
mated at S94, 900 900 for the currer
year. while those ortlse previous yea
were but $4,000. 900.
AT least 500, 100000 Of orr in
ports this year, are sugar, tea. collie
tobacco, wines, spirits. etc. Anoth'
large proportion consists ofsilks, hid
and articles not produced here. II
falling off has been principally in CO
ton and wooden fabrics, and iron, q
Of which we can produce abundant
at home. The exports from Live
pool to this country. in August, 1s6
were IS, 100000; those for August
this wear were but 81, 250.0o0. orS'
100, 900 less. For one year, the .
minution for that port alone won
amount to some SO. 100000.

W One of the most deplorable features of the
times is the zeal with which certain ministers of the
Gospel espouse the cause of disunion and civil war.
1t makes sick at heart to see such men stirring
up strife between brethren. They seem to forget
the saying of their Divine Master, my kingdom
is not of this world "-or rather they reverse the
saying, and declare by their conduct that their king
dom is of this world. 1t is bad enough for minis
ter of the Gospel to take active part in the ordi
nary political struggles of the day. but there can be
no excuse or palliation for his conduct when he
urges measures or advocates doctrines the result Of
which must be war and bloodshed Such persons
may be clever gentlemen-they may possess genius,
and talent and learning, but surely they were not
called to preach the Gospel Of peacel Some one
else was called, and they answered. We know we
are a poor sinner, but that is our Judgment We
have no faith in such preachers. They "are Of the
earth, earthyp Instead of striving to put off wars
and ightngs to the last moment, they are lsboring
to provoke the two sections to war at once, 'at all
hazards and to the last extremity. They say to
one brother tear yourself loose from the other, and
unless he gives you exact justice and at once strike
him to the hearth Great God lis that Christiani-
tyr Is that the doctrine Of the meek and lowly
Saviourl No. Who, then, are these meni As

This statement at once dssipates the rumor, which
we hear occasionally, that Charlotte Is not healthy
place. Judging by these statistics, which are no
doubt correct Charlotte is one of the heathiest spots
in the whole country.
The rumor referred to has Tad tendency to in
jure the Military and other schools in our sister
town, and we are gratifed to have an opportunity
to correct it.
We learn from friend that the Military school
at Charlotte, under the superintendent of Maj D.
H. Hill is in better condition than at any former
