DEAR EoKEL:
The mud in this "village" isawtul,
but the New Workers ARE prepared for il most
OF the gentlemen wear boots coming up to the
knees, aud the ladies manage in sOmeway pecu-
liar to themselves TO surlnount the dirt, The
panic and secession have gotten to be old stories,
or rather the order of the day. There seems to
be much better feeling to-day than for several
days before, and men are disposed to look upon
southern difficulties as among the things expect
ed, and are squarieg themselves in reference to
tnem. The opinion here, is that South Carolina
has made herself Ridiculous; for she has called
into being ilob army, and left them without
food and pay and also without anything TO do
/ it is therefore seriously apprehended that South
Carolina will be the scene Of terrible conmOt0n,
from the inntiny of her patriots.
Our quiet city was disturbed of its propriety,
on Saturday night, by the news boys crying,
"IIerald Extra, all about Governor Wise, capture
OF Washington" crowds hurried to buy the ter
rible news, the price was | o cents copy; when
we had leisure TO read the News we found
that the said extra Wns a year old, and contained
nothing whatever about the war; it was, how
ever, deemed good sell
Governor Bnrton's Message produced quite a
laugh here 1t was not known before that he
was SO witty. You muy not have discovered the
wit, but assure you it is there. Twenty mil
lions of men must, he says, change thsir minds
on the slavery question and really believe it tC
be humane and right 10 hold our fellow men il
bondage, or one million OF persons in the Soutl
will not be content TO remain in The UnioD.-
Now is That not witty
Gold is accumuaiing in this city beyond al
precedent, all the Binks and Brokers' Offices nr
! actually glutlcl with il. One reason for This il
that England has been sending over gold to pur
o chase stocks and 10 pay Tor produce, while W
! have imported but little this year; the result
that we can buy drafts on England aud sell thel
there and make four per cent by the transaction
!, Besides this, the Mint does not work fast enough
i ordinarily, it takes 10 days to change gold bar
into American coin, bur now, owing no doubt
e the sudden influx OF bullion aud also to the in
suilicency Of government to meet the demand
% upon it,, 30 days are required to coin bar
gold.
Another Of the funny things is Mayor Wood
'r Message lie proposes to have New York Gil
of together with Brooklyn ard Jersey City, seced
from the Union, establish themselves into
e. sovereign power and crown Fernando lst
to King. Mayor Wood does not know it, but he
really burlesquing his southern friends.
n show you how complete the burlesque is, reel
y to MUD the fact that US South Carolina has
money! so New York has no water; cut off ii
o. supplies from the North and the State sink
as cut off the Croton and the Empire City is dl
strOyed.

that now we shnl have fine seighing here.
