The wife OF a former clerk of promin-

and his wife remained behind until about
two weeks since, when she prepared TO
follow him. She procured passes, and
knowing that her effects would be search
ed, she pryide for this. Her trunks were
examined. All was right, and she de-
parted for Dixie's land; but sewed within
the folds of her under dress, she carried
with her numerous dispatches, letters
and drawings of our Notifications and
positions, which, of course, she succeeded
in delivering to the reble authorities with
out trouble. Her friends here boast of
the performances; and there are still left
in Washington scores of females of like
stamp, who are ready to decamp in a
similar way, and for similar purposes, who
delight in thus furnishing aid and COM
fort TO the enemy.

Kentucky and Tennessee.

The Charleston Mercury says: 1t is the
season for such States as Kentucky and
Tennessee to make fortunes. Cheese.
butter, lard, bacon, mules, horses, milch
cattle, sheep-let these be henceforward
supplied us from these regions. They
can give us as good cheese and butter as
ever came from Goshen, and we'll worthy of
Canaan; they can send us superior lard
and bacon than any that ever came from
Porkopolis; they have always reared the
best and soundest bacon; and their cat.
tie, beef and pork have long furnished
the largest supplies to New York. We
can eat these with as great relish in the
Confederate States and pay better, than
ever could or did the Yankees. Oftheir
horses, mules, sheep, we already know
the virtues and the value. Let them
cure beef and pork and barrel for the
Southern markets, to Charleston and
Savannah and Wilmington on the At
lantic, and Pensacola, Mobile, and New
Orleans on the Gulf. Nay, let them not
neglect the manufacture of apple bran
dy, and apple cider, which they can
make superior to the beet and apple
champagne of New Jersey. Good old
peach will also command o market in
these diggings. Now is the time for the
farmers of Kentucky and Tennessee,
and the back country of North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia, to enter the
field with enterprise, vigor and industry,
and, by little art, to convert all their
domestic products into gold. The war
opens thousand new fields for profitable
working; our independence secures us
large and ample market, which must
build up our interior States with bound
less wealth and an hourly increasing pop
ulation. Soldiers, like young hawks,
must be fed, and even citizens do not
fail of appetite, though war shakes his
spear at the door. Now is the appointed
season. He who is first in the field,
takes the pick of the orchard.

Republican Bullyism,

The New York Journal of Commerce,
speaking Of the men in the North who
are urging the war, says;-It is great
mistake to suppose that blood d-hound is
a courageous dog. The men who have
plunged us into this war, who have hal
lood on the people, are men that have
wisely stayed at home. And part of
the plan to cover up their own want of
courage, is to keep up the cry of war
The rebels in the South who planned the
dissolution Of tho Union, who advocated
it in Congress and in newspapers and on
the stump, are the men who have taken
the field, while the Northern editors and
Congressman and Senators who opposed
compromise, who let us drift into this
war; nay, who dragged us into it. are at
home, making contracts to supply army
stores, and shouting "traitor" at every
man who ventures to remind them of the
evil they have brought on the country, or
suggest remedy for it.

Under the above head, the Cincinnati;
Enquirer publishes and introduces with
the following remarks very suggestive
article from the New York Tribune on the
effects of embargo upon the commerce of
the West:
We ask for it a general perusal, and we
ask 1t that the people of the West may
see what they have lost by quarreling
with the South on the negro question:
lhe Tribune shows that two-thirds of the
commerce OF Cincinnati-the shipments
OF manufactured articles and produce
was with the towns on the Mississippi.-
1t also shows that the South lived not by
what 1T raised at home, but by what Others
raise abroad. In other wor Is, that the
North virtually owned slaves, while the
real owners were our oyerseers. to MANAGE
the plantations of the South, for our
benefit and advantage. 1t shows that we

manufactures, have been using the South.

From Washington-Designs of the
Enemy.

Mr.. Vallandigham offered an amend
ment to the volunteer bill, which simply
provides for the appointment of peace
commissioners TO accompany the Vandal
army, with the view to negotiate for
peace, when an opportunity shall present
itself. The same measure was adopted in
the Mexican war, and when Gen. John
son was sent to Utah to crush the Nor
mon rebellion.
The following is tho report of the pro.
position:
Mr.. Vallagdigham proposed an amend
ment to the bill, namely: That before the
President shall have the right to call out
moro volunteers, he shall appoint some
Commissioners to accompany the army on
its march, to receive and consider such
propositions, if any may be submitted
from the Executive of the so-called Con-
federate States, or any one of them, look
ing to a suspension of hostilities and the
return of said States, or ony of them, to
the Federal Constitution and authorities.
Mr.. Nallangdigham alluded to the fact
that when Utah was in rebellion three
Commissioners were appointed to accom-
puIy -thC uiIny "Htn ulONtl tIldl
Territory, and certainly the case now pre-
sented was one of far greater Importance
to the whole country. The army should
now 60 forth with the sword in one hand
and the olive branch in the other. He Of
fered the amendment in good faith, and
for the purpose of ascertaining whether
there was disposition here to listen to
terms of accommodation. He would vote
just as many men and as much as was ne
cessary to protect and defend the Federal
1t was against aggressive
and offensive warfare that he raised his
voice.
Whereupon the Hon. John Hickman,
a notorious abolitionist and spokesman of
the Administration in the House, gave
vent to the following sentiment, unveil-
ing the purpose of the leaders of the war
Mr.. Hickman thought that hundred
thousand men would be sufficient to re-
store obedience to the Constitution in the
seceded States; but the smaller the num-
Der of men the greater the time would be
required to accomplish the object in view.
He did not know whether it was contem-
plated to subjugate the South, but he did
know that it was the purpose to force the
South into submission. We, of the loyal |
States, intend to educate the rebels in a
different doctrine, and if we are ultimate
ly forced to bring them INTO abject sub
lection to the Constitution it will be theirs |
and not our fault. Armies will be need
ed on the Southern coast.

Tho Now Governor of North Caro-
lima

AS we have already stated, the demise
of Gov. Ellis places Henry Toole Clarke,
Esq, Speaker of the Senate, in the Ex-
ecutive Chair of North Carolina. The
Raleigh Standard thus speaks Of the new
Governor:
We have known Mr.. Clarke for many
years lie has been good deal in pub
lie life, has been observant of men and
things, and brings to his aid a knowledge
OF our public men, the character OF our
people, and the demands Of the present
crisis. He has a cool judgement, u mod
est estimate of his own abilities, an hon
est heart, and purpose to do his duty
to his entire State and the South. We
rely upon his honesty, his prudence, his
cool judgment, his patriotism, his readi-
ness to counsel with the wise, the Judi
cious, the representative men of the
State, and, more then ALL upon his will
and ability to do right, to conduct the
ship of State through tho perils Of the
war the next eighteen months,

=" Uuion Men,

1t is singular that some of our 'Union
loving" neighbors have become possessed
of such strange infatuation. They know
that the Union is dissolved, and yet, be-
cause they do not approve of secession,
they talk and act as if the Union still ex-
listed; they know it cannot be restored
and yet they talk as if it must be done.
But, perhaps, the most singula feature, by
which they are characterized is, that not
withstanding for years they have joined
in the general chorus against the aggres-
sions of Northern abolitionists, now, that
the threats which they then INDUCED
in are beinginto practical execution, they
can see no harm intended to the South.
These same men have heretofore been
clamorous III their declarations against
tho North and for the South, but when
the test comes they are found wanting,
and instead of sustaining the South are
rather encouraging the North in the pro-
sccution of their abolition aggressions.

Important.

Lord John Russell has given another
and important English reading of the law
of blockade in Parliament. IIo was ask
ed ifthe Government recognized the right
of the New Granadian Confederation to
close its ports by blockade, when he re-
piled that, in case OF rebellion the Gov
ernment had right to close the ports,
but in case of civil war the ports we're dc
facto occupied by tho insurgents, they
could not take that step according to in
ternational law. The British naval COM
mander would not, therefore, recognize
the right of closing the ports.

The Effect in New York,

The New York Day Book OF the 10th
inst. says:
The.W World, this morning, owns up to
the fearful state of affairs in this city. 1t
says Now York has suffered not loss than
Sl50,00O,0O0 by our political difficulties.
Further:
alt continues to lose every day, by stag
nation and inaction. Whole classes of
merchants have failed. Credit has fallen
to its lowest ebb. The great body OF COM
merce is paralyzed."
True, every word of it, and the longer
the war continues the worse matters will
get. War is death to commerce and
trade. Agriculture will get along, but
commerce is ruined by war. New York
City never presented so sorrowful q busi-
ness spectacle as today. Business men
are ruined, and hundreds are begging dai-
ly for bread.
