STARVING OUT THE NoRTH.-By way of
exhibiting the utter ignorance and extreme
folly of the Southern Disnnionists, who are
calculating upon the starvation of Northern
laborers to bring the North to terms, the
New York Times publishes the fact, that
the laboring people Of Massachusetts and
Connecticut alone, have on deposit in the
Savings Banks of those two States, the sum
of sIxTY-sEvEN MILLIONS OF DoLLARs-the
accumulated savings of poor men and wo-
men, now drawing them an interest of
6 63-1OO per cent. The Times adds:
ave venture to say that the operatives of
New York, New England, and Pennsylva-
MIA alone could produce, from their own re-
sources, at ten days notice, TWICE AS MUCH
MONEY as all the Southern States, in the
event of secession, could raise in year by
taxation, or 6OrroaO in the markets of the
world. And we will furthermore venture
The prediction, that if the South persists in
its policy of disunion, within one year from
this these very "pauper operatives of the
North will be contributing money to relieve
the distress of the people in the Southern
States"

A Mlss1ssIpprAN's OPINION OF LINCOLN

A MIssIssIPPIANs OPINION OF LINCOLN
The Springfield (Ill.) Journal of Monday
says:
An old man, hailing from Mississippi,
dressed in plain hOmespun, came to cur city
Saturday. He mingled free'v with the
Republican epresentatives-got their views
and seemed to think that we are not quite
so black as we are represented He called
on Mr.. Lincoln-talked freely with him,
and heard the President elect express his
sentiments and intentions. He learned that
Mr.. Lincoln entertained none but the kind
est feelings towards the people of the South
and that he would protect the South in her
just rights. He had a long conversation
and went away delighted He left the Of
fee of Mr.. Lincoln in company with a
friend, who communicated this 10 us and
when outside the door, he remarked, while
the tears stole down his furrowed cheeks ::
"Oh if the people of the South could hear
what have heard, they would love and not
hate Mr.. Lincoln. | will tell my friends at
home, but" he added sorrowfully, "they
will not belive me !" He said that he did
wish every man in the South could be per-
sonally acquainted With Mr.. Lincoln.

Novel PLAN Of COerci0m-The RIissts-
sippi to he turned Away from
ST. Louis.

An Illinois correspondent of the ST.
Louis Democrat threatens dire vengeance
on that city in case she should take sides
with the secessionists. In that event he
says
This Southern gate of commerce is all
that will he left her thus shOrn of her splen-
doris, and even this will be at the mercy of
the State of Illinois, and can be destroyed
without an act of hostility of which she
can have a right to complain. The Missis-
sippi river can be made to run away from
St. Louis and nnder the Illinois bluffs, leav-
ing your city high and dry, seven or eight
miles from the river with foreign soil lying
between the river from the present site of
Illinoistown to what will then be the west
bank of the Mississippi river. The people
of the city of ST. Louis know very well this
can he done. They have spent many mil
lions of dollars to prevent it from doing it
ITSELF and have been allowed by the Legis-
lature of Illinois to build dykes and revest
the shore on the Illinois side for this pur-
pose. But it cannot be expected that Hi
nOis will be thus courteous and cOmplaisant
to a foreign State, as she has been to her
sister State of Missouri under the glorious
stars and stripes. 1t is we'll known that di-
rectly opposite to the mouth of the Mis-
souri, river its rapid current presses the
sluggish Mississippi against theIllinois shore,
and an artificial channel at that point would
conduct the united volume of the two
streams into the lakes which lie at the foot
of the bluffs, aud which are supposed by
many to have been the ancient bed of the
stream, and this would take the river away
from the river and throw it within the
jurisdiction of Illinois, until at the foot OF
the lakes, near Carendelet, it would again
re-enter its present bed or channel. This
can be done; it has been done at many
points on the Lower Mississippi, by running
a ditch across bend of the river, and the
/ force of the current itself has done the rest.
VIII it be done If Missouri goes out OF
the Union, it will be matter of some pride,
to say nothing of the profit of the thing,
with the people of Illinois to establish a
rival city here in Illinois.

The hazards of the Border Slaveholding
States in case of dissolution of the Union
are well described by Mr.. Clay in his letter
to citizen of Alabama in 1874, to be found
in the g Private Correspondence of Henry
Clay" p. 400, from which the following is
an extract:
"From the developments now being made
in South Carolina it is perfectly manifest
that party exists in that State seeking a
dissolution of the Union, and for that pur-
pose employing the pretext of the rejection
of Mr.. Tyler's abominable treaty. South
Carolina, being surrounded by slave States,
would, in the event of a dissolution of the
Union, suffer only comparative evils; but it
is otherwise with Kentucky. She has the
boundary of the Ohio extending four hun
dred miles on three Free States. What
would our condition be in the event of the
greatest calamity that could befall this ma
ton ,"

Come ~ WIII.

Manhood will come, and old age will
come, and the dying bed will come, and the
very last look you shall cast upon your ac-
quaintance will come and the agony OF the
parting breath will come, and the time when
you are stretched lifeless corpse before the
eyes of weeping relatives will come, and the
coffin that is to inclose you will come, and
that hour when the company will assemble
to carry you to the churchyard will come,
and that minute when you are put IN the
grave will come, and the throwing in OF the
loose dirt into the narrow house where you
are laid, and spreading of the green sod over
it-all, all will come on every living crea-
ture who now hears me and in few brlef
years the minister who now speaks, end the
people who now listen will be carried to their
long homes and make room for another gen.
Grafton. Now all this must and will hap
pen-yOur common sense and your common
experience serve to convince you of it. Per-
haps it may have been little thought of in
the days OF careless, and thoughtless, and
thankless urcopcern which you have spent
hitherto; but call upon you to think of it
now, to lay it seriously to heart, and no
longer trifle and delay when the high mat
ters of death, and judgment, and eternity
are thus set so evidently before you. And

the blood lieth upon your own head and not
upon mine, if you will not listen to them
the object of my coming among you is to
let you know what more tidings are to
come; it is to carry you beyond the regions
of sight and of sense, to the regions of faith,
and to assure you in the name of Him who
can not lie, that as sure as the hour of lay
ing the body in the grave comes, so surely
will also come the hour of the spirit return
ing to God who gave it. Yes, the day of
final reckoning will come and the appear
ance of the Son of God in heaven, and His
mighty angels around Him, will come, and
the opening of the Books viii come, and the
standing of men of all generations before
the judgment-soat will come, and the solemn
passing of that sentence which is to fix you
for eternity will come.-Dr. Chalmers.

sesrcsary Cha.e,. FinnneInI Feal..

From the London Telegraph
If we might believe the last assurances from
the United States the monetary position there
has actually improved" as much as il has
here: for they tell us among other things, that
Mr. Secretary Chase has secured the second in
stalment of ten millions sterling toward the
national loan. i is obvious, however, that the
grounds of hope are at least as weak in Now
York and Washington as they are in Paris and
London. The latest movement Of the Federals
indicates the reverse Of any real progress in the
war, unless it be a step toward a fresh defeat for
their government Everybody knows that the
aim OF the Coniedcrates has been to draw Gen.
Mcclellan into an engagement; and for weeks
the Young Napoleon has been making reconoi-
s8nces in force in order to test the true nature of
the enemy's position.
Heretofore he has prudently sbstained from
any forward movement; but the last advices IN
dicate a change. They inform us that the Con-
federates have decidedly made a rctrograde
movement, and that the FedeTals Immediately
began 10 march, with great slaughter on both
sides. At the same time It is evidently annOunc-
e,l that Gen. Fremont in at last advancing upon
Laxingtou-aiter it has fallen into the hands of
the C0n.ederates Such military movements
mag be steps toward a closing of the war, but
they DO not look favorable either to the suprem-
acv Of Mr. Lincolns government, or TO the mon
etarv operations of Mr.. Secretary Chase.
All this Is known in New York as well as il is
here; and we believe the statement which is
made 10 us that Mr. Chase has succeeded" only
in Disgusting the real failure Of the second in
sta.lmeut He has, we believe agreed to take
treasury bonds as part and parcel Of the funds
which are to be furnished to him. These bonds
stil had some years 10 run, and they carried in
terest 0foHly six per cent the government, there
fore, Is simply taking back its own paper at
discount, with the chance OF any real cash that
may happen TO float in along with the bonds.
So that the real monetary value Of the ten mill
ions les somewhere between that sum and nil,
bus Whereabouts, no one can say.
