SENTIMENT IN TGE NORTHwEsT-ExrRAcrs FROM
A LETTER.-The following is an extract from let
ter received from a town in Iowa. by gentleman
in Memphis which the Memphis appeal is allowed
to publish. ThAwriter says;
"There is very large party throughout the
North that would be glad to have peace as soon as
possible-in any way and upon any terms good
many are beginning TO come to their senses, now
that it is too late only to find that this war is going
to ruin us all throughout the North, while its ten
dency appears to be only to put the North and South
further apart than ever before Business here at at
perfect standstl-everything has stopped; there
is no money; the produce Of the country can not
be sold at any price and all here have about arrived
at the conclusion that we are all going TO ruin as
fast as possible The policy Of every one is to con-
tract and try to wind up affairs generally soon
as they can. Where the egd Is to be- no one can
foresee. The blockade 6f the river was intended
to ruin the South but we now discover that it is
running the North and rendering the South inde-
pendent of us for their supplies, which they find
can be raised ON their own soil"
