IF our readers will examine the files Of
the Nashville papers about eighteen
months or two years ago, they viii find
many vehement editorials, and many
resolutions passed with loud acclama-
tions at various rebel meetings, in which
the declaration was made that CONNER
cial and social, as well as political dis
union, had taken place between the free
and slave States, and that henceforth no
Yankee domestics, prints, cloths, shoes,
hats machinery, books, or other articles
of commerce, should be suffered TO enter
the "Sunny South" from north Of the
Ohio river. People talked about lynch
ing the craven hearted merchant who
would dare to buy goods from the ras-
cally Yankees. What! One Of the inn

ing, bowie-knife, niger trading, cotton
headed, poker-playing, repadiating, fire
eating chiyalry wear Lowell shirt, or
Philadelphia boot, or q New York hat ?
Impossible The bare thought was hor-
rible. The dear ladies even vowed that
they would go bsreheaded and unhooped
before Yankee bonnets or crinoline should
defile their angelic persons No moro
Southern gold shall find its way to Yam
kec pockets, was the cry. The indignant
proprietor of one or two old darkies, who
couldn't see lightning through pair of
spectaces, swore that they had been sup
porting the North long enough by their
patronage, and now they intended to
Withdraw it and let them starve.
They don't talk 80 now. Fellows who
drew up non-intercourse resolutions, full
of fire and fury" may now be seen
slipping into dingy slop shops, and try

descendant of ABRAHAM, for a pair of
second hand Yankee boots, or breeches.
An Alabama editor, few weeks ago, in
boasting Of the noble industry of the
Southern girls, said that they were au-
tually taking the sOles of their old gai-
ters, and stitching cloth uppers on them

The Charleston Mercury, in an article re-
specting smuggling, published recently,
said:
