The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1861-02-01

A correspondent OF the Boston
UdUcicr, writing from New Orleans,
January 10th, saye:
Mark well what say. If the
free states are firm. the secession
movement, by the 4th OF March
next, will have proven complete
failure. Three iourths of the South
crncrs and the press oi this city
know it full well.--at this very mo
ment, are as warmly attached to the
glorious Union Of our iurelathers as
the Northern and Western people.
The days nf Southern oligarchcy,
happily tor the white men of this
section Of the CunIcdcracy, are mum
bored. and the scccssionists are
cognlzant OF it.
All rejecting rcn, all men of
mature Judgment here, drplored the
present movement. but they do not
dare to check it. Their hope is that
as soon President Lincoln il placed
ut the head OF the general govern
mcut the laws of the United States
will be enforced, and all the seccdiny
states forced back into the Union. 800
This is the sincere wish Of nine
tcnths OF the responsible men in this
community.
The chivalry in the interior OF the
state are nightly scared at the idea
that their slaves, one OF these nights
might rise Gn mqSSe against them
and renew in their persons tho st.
Domingo massacrea. Should the
present state Of affairs last a few
months longer, hundreds OF our
wealthy families will remove to
France, with all their wealth, in the
course of next Spring. Several Of
our Creole millionaires are trying to
sell their sugar cetatcs, in order to
leave their native land III soon as
possible. Our city papers, though
aware ol the fact. do not venture tu
say word on this subject, for fear
Of personal violence from the hands
OF the spcessionist rowdics.
Our Merchants and Traders are
losing money, our Laborers and
Mechanics are without employment,
our monetary affairs are growing
tighter and tighter every day,-in
fact, the future OF this city is gloomy
very gloomy, indeed.

The Louisville COuier, OF the
22d, says:
There is no longer any room TO
doubt the report that II battery has
been erected at Vicksburg, the ob
ject of which is to enforce the order
compelling all descending steam,
boats to land ut that port and sub
init to an inspection by the con
stitutional authorities. Steamboat
men who arrived from that port on
Sunday aEd yesterday, confirm the
truth Of the rumor, and have fur
nishcd III the narucs Of ecvcrul boat
who have been compelled to lane
and undergo formal erarch. We
are also asearcd that such boats arv
required tn pay the usual wharfage
rates, although their business on
gugemcnts do not require them to
land at Vicksburg.
