How THE NGGERs TAKE 1r.-The editor. of the
Marion Commonwealth writing from the camp at
llarpcrs Ferry, says these darkes are a most val
liable adjunct to our convenience. They relieve
the men of menial and drudging work. and leave
them unworn to attend only TO soldier duties. 1t
is treat to see how the negroes enjoy it, and how
devoted they are to US. All Of them, believe are
determined to fight and die by the side of their
masters. And then the way they talk about how
they will cut the SweN when they return home!

Memphis Bulletin.
Senator Hunter, of Virginia. in speech in Con
gress about year ago, estimated the annual en-
ports of the slave States at two hundred millions of
dollars; freight paid to Northern vessels on these
exports fourteen millions freghts paid to North
arn vessels on return cargocs, seven millions
freight paid same in the coasting trade, twenty
millions manufactures by the North consumed by
the South annually, ForR Hl'NnRED AND EIGHTY
IILLIONs OF DOLLARS! He then shows that
At q moderate estimate, between three and four
millions of the people of the Northeastern States
owe their subsistence entirely to the commerce of
the South but for which they would be compelled
to starve or emigrate. He shows almost that seven
millions Of the inhabitants of the Northwestern
States are also supported by the market for their
products afforded by the South, and that the money
paid by the Northeastern States for the products of
.he Northwestern States is obtained mainly from
he South; and he thus shows that large portion
Of the population of the Northeastern and North
western States is sustained by slave labor. Mr..
Hunter then proceeds to show that the operation Of
protective tariffs, and even tariffs for revenue, have
thrown the burden of the Government nneuually
lpOn the agricultural States of the South, who,
being the chief consumer of the protected articles
have paid the increased price into the pockets of
he Northern producers.
1t is to compel us to continue this tribute to the
end Of time that the North pOurs down its hOrdes.
