The New York Herald, referring to tile efforts
which will be made by the Southern people to pc
commercially independent Of the North, says
Were they to gain their independence to morrow
they would be nearer advanced to their ooJect.
/ The European nations would place no falth III the
4 stability Of government based upon slavery as
| principle, and Northern men womb commune, as
hitherto TO act as the factors OF southern products
growing rich On the profits OF trade winch neither
force nor the schemes of Southern fnanciers can
divert from them. ~ -Tg
The above is a specimen of the reckless assertion
constantly indnlged in by the Northern press, and
illustrates their ignorance Of, as well as contempt
for, the Southern people. 81 4

clear to admit of argument, and not requiring any
proof whatever, that European nations will place.
no faith in the stability of a government based
upon slavery as q principle. We would like to
know what difference, in commercial sense it
would make, whether they did or not. European
nations desire our agricultural productions, and we
desire their manufactures. We can establish and
keep up mutually advantageous exchange, with
Lieut. reference to the forms of government either
/ here or across the ocean. 1t is, we take it, q
matter OF small concern to the nations of Europe,
what sort of government we have, as long as our
4 agricultural interests do not suffer-and if the
Herald means that such will be the result in
federation of slave States, it only shows that that
paper does not know what it is talking about.
The reverse will prove to be the case, we conf
IDENTIFY predict. The Gonfederacy of Slave States
will exhibit stability, order, respect for law, and
conservatism. The Confederaey of Free States
will prove of disorder and instability if
not anarchy. The experience of the past, and the
4 actual facts of the present, both prove it.
4 1t will be observed, however, that the Herald
i thinks there will be no change in the channels of
4 Commerce, if the South secures her independence.
The North it says will continue to act as the fac
i tor of Southern products, growing rich on the
4 profits of our trade.
H. We will see about that. We could not well help
ourselves in the old Union, and the North became
i rich on the profits of our industry. We produced
nearly all of the exports of the country; but, in
j one way and another, it was wrested from US by
the North which, exporting next to nothing itself,
i waxed fat and rich, and built up splendid cities
1 with money which really belonged to US. But we
4 intend that all this shall change. We do not in
tend that New York shall send off our crops, and
import all that we consume. We do not mean
that that city shall make two profits out of u.s. one
for exporting and one for importing. We do not
| intend it shall make any profit at all. By free
trade system will invite direct imports and get
| them. BY every kind Of legislative provision,
backed by strong public sentiment, we mean to
cut loose from our former ruinous and degrading
dependence upon the North in the matter Of CON
ducting our foreign commerce. e
1t Is this apprehension that has frightened the
Herald, and caused it to whistle, as it does in the
above extract, TO keep its courage up. That paper
knows very well, although it affects to believe the
contrary, what blow the commercial supremacy
of the North will receive by the independence of
the South Ills this knowledge that is at the bot
4 tom of the war now made upon u.s. SO far as the
thinking people Of the North are concerned. They
feel that the sceptre is about to depart, and the
South must be reduced orsthey are ruined Thank
4 Heaven the South cannot be conquered. She will
be commercially Tree as well as politically-and
it will be worth to us,in pecuniary sense alone,
millions upon millions Of dollars every year.

Fenced in the city have not prevailed on the lake
shore. a tremendous fright was occasioned by
the steamer Miramon last week. Some of the
knowing ones would have 1t that it was the Maiura
just though vessel of % or "a feet draught of
water could pass through the Sound, or enter only
through Ship Island pass, and then have to run the
gauntlet of the fort at that place. We learn that
one party was much frightened his hair changed;
another ordered up his carriage, wagon, old cart
his bulls, mules and oxen, to run into the woods !;
another individual, who had some forethought,
pulled cut his old rusty cutlass, called for his
double-barreled shotgun, and instead of ordering
his cook to prepare dinner, got bars of lead and
went to casting bullets, intending to have some
shots at the Hessans if they attempted to make
landing. Finally, the unknown steamer squared
away from Pass Mary Ann for ST Joseph. Then It
was surely supposed she intended to blockade the
Rigoles, and Mississippi Sound was all quiet again.
The fishing banks have been granting large
favors for some days past. In fact, they grant to
