a LETTER FROM A CIVIL ENGINEER AT FORT
SUMTER:
The following, says The Troy Whig, are ex
tracts of a letter from M r. Follins, q graduate
OF the Rlnsseiaer Institute, but now in the
employ OF the II adependent Republic of South
Carolina as Civil Engineer. The letter was

VI RDIoT OF THE WORKING MIN OF NEW YORK
Sr
| An enthusiastic demons stration of the work
| IL & men of New York city, against coercing
| ae Southern States, was held in that city on
| tuesday night The attendance was very
| large, and the sentiments expressed and rasO-
l iutions passed were of the most decided char
l acter, and show decidedly that the working
I men of the great commercial metropolis have
1 O due conception of the value of the South as
| the great market for their goods and manu-
l factures. South OF that point, 1t is to be hoped
| a like estimate at least, will be man ted of
| the value of the Southern market. As proof
|of the soundness OF the views held by the New
| York working men, we annex their resolu-
| uons as follows:
Resolred, That we regard the present move
| ing The powers trey delegated to the General Gov
erument as an eit)rt to preserve our Constitution

sut .orized construction OF the Constitution tends
TO estroy heir peace, wei fsre and happiness.
