CoNecting Southern Revcnue.- We
clip the following dispatch from the
n. Y. Evening Post of the 3Oth:
The administration, ! learn to day,
has had the question of the collection
of the revenues at the south most fully
under consideration, and does not an
ticipate any immediate dimimution of
the revenues. Orders have been sent
south and west to seize upon all goods
brought into the loyal states through
the seeded ports. This, it is expected
will put an end to smuggling free goods
into the free states, for the risk of con-
fscation of goods is too great risk for
the importer to take. IN case the
Southern Confedoracy is acknowledged,
the New York merchant will still sell
his imported goods to the southern buy
ers, at tho same charge goods are now
sold to Canadian traders. BY a similar
arrangement the New York importer
will sell his goods to southern merchants
out of the warehouse, they paying no
duties here.

The Crops IN Alabama.-Tho Fort
Gaines (Alo.) Indcndent says:
Should the season for grain continue
to be favorable. the harvest is bound to

compare with present growing crop.
1t is confidently beloved that the wants
of the country will be greatly and timely
relieved by the early grain crop.

Almost q ColLison.-The Raleigh
On. c. Register says that on the
arrival of the train from Goldsboro'
on Sonday afternoon, laden with the
delegates returning from the secession
convention, a collision between them,
or some Of them, and portion of the
citizens of Raleigh would have taken
place but for the departure of the train
on it's western route. The Register
adds:
These bellicose delegates were filled
with the spirit of secession, and what
amount of other spirit we do not pretend
to say. On their arrival at the depot
some of them, we learn, for we were
not present, cried out that Raleigh was
d--d abolition hole.' To this re-
fined compliment to our city, an Oak
City man replied that they dare not
come out of the cars and repeat the as
sertion; whereupon several OF the hre-
eaters tumbled out, and fight would
most assuredly have begun, but for the
opportune and conservative notice
given by the locomotive that it was
about to drag the train out of Raleigh.
Among those of the party who were
| ready for the fight was, we learn, the
Hon. Burton Craige, who remarked,
we hear, that if there were any fight
ing to be done he wished to be copsid-
cred in the ring. AS there is no fort
either at Crabtree creek or Neuse river
that the people of Raleigh can seize
upon to protect the city from an inva-
sion of the fre-eaters, we suggest the
prompt erection of redoubts at differ
ent points on the borders OF the city,
and line of sentinels around it day
and night to give notice of the comi ng
of the foe.

The Murder Of Young Miller, at
Jackson, Tennessee.-The West Ten
nessee Whig published at Jackson,)
of the goth ult., referring to para
gxph which appeared in the Nashville
Balher and we copied some days
ago fae effect that Mr.. John S.
MiIler,a prominent merchant of Jack
son, and uncle of the unfortunate vic
tim, was suspected of the murder of
young Miller, in the Union Bank in
that place, about two years ago, and
had fed, says:
Our community was shocked, on
Tuesday last, by the appearance of the
above paragraph in the local columns
of the Nashville Banner, of Sunday.
Here, where Mr.. Miller is known, there
is not human being who does not de-
nounce the report as vile and uhmiti-
gated slander, upon one of the best. and
uniformly, since his residence here,
one of the most prosperous men in
Tennessee.

Threatened NulIifcation at the North.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
earnestly calls for an extra session of
Congress to repeal the Morrill, tariff law.
It hints that ifnot repealed, notification
may be rosorted to at the North. Here
is its language
The people of the north are undoubt
cdly a law-abiding people, and they
will obey much rather than ovode or
defy the laws. But their commerce IS
their first interest, and if a high scale
of imports, while importations are ad-
mitted free or with a comparatively
nominal duty at the south, there is grave
reason to fear that one of two tempta
tions will be yielded to-either the law
will be ovudod, and systematic SNUG
Cling will be resorted to, or the laws
will be set at defiance.

The Baltimore American quotes from the
" Southern Confederacy "a Georgia paper
the following tribute to Ex.Secretary
Floyd, of Virginia, considered from a
Southern point Of view" How, VIC ask,
will Mr. Foyd's course, as indicated BY the
Georgia paper, bear the test of an cxamina-
ton from National point of view?
=" But for the foresight. frmness and
patriotic providence of John B. Floyd, in
what stress and peril would the Cotton States
lie Houndcring this day? lie saw the
inevitable doom Of the Union. or the doom of
his own people. For many months past,
from his stand point. he had an expanded
field of vision which enabled him to He the
great danger which threatened us, out which
was hid below the horizon from the eyes of
the most Of us. When his faithful loyalty to
his own prosecuted people began its labors in
cur defence. in what n condition was :he
Southern States? The North had the heavy
guns, the light arms. the powder and ball
jus, as the North had everything else that
belonged to the common Government How
quietly were men shifted from our soil who
might have beer here to-day 10 murder us at
Abraham Lincoln's order. How slender the

were made for Us and belong to nobody else
but which savage enemy now chafcS and

this hour when every heart and head and
arm of her children are needed in her
defence? Truth d,mands it of us to declare
that We owe to John B. Floyd an eternal
