below, taken from the ordinary CONNER
cial news Of the Ne,g ForE Herald, Of
September oath.
II shows that, in the midst Of war
which, to any other nation on earth,
would bring distress and even exhaust
ion, as is already the case in the rebel
lious States, the loyal portion Of the
country is thriving and prosperous be-
yond any former precedent. The ex-
ports, the imports, and the internal traffic,
and production in that region Of country
are very much larger than ever before.
From the port Of New York alone, the
exports to the end of September amount
to $105O00000 against S95,000,000 for
1861, and S7O,0OOOOO for 1860. If the
same holds good for other ports in the
loyal States and there is no reason to
suppose the contrary, the exports
throughout those States, exclusive Of
New York, reached the sum of S64,000,-
900, to the end of September, making the
total exports for the nine months ending
September 80, Sl70OOOOO0. At this rate,
the total exports for the year will reach
S212,OOO,OOO
In the year 1853, the whole export
trade of the country amounted to $685.
100000 Ofthis, S99,OOO,OOO was from
New Orleans, the principal exporting port
of the rebel States, and about S20,0000O0.
from Charleston. This leaves S216,000,-
600, as the total exports for 1853, for
all ports except these two. Yet with
every disloyal port blockaded--with the
entire trade Of the Cotton States cut Off
and with every disadvantage which a
state Of war entails, the exports of this
year will be as large as those Of 1853,
the two ports Of New Orleans and Char
lesion alone excepted.
The average export of cotton, for a
lumber Of years, has been Sl30000,0O0.
This, of course, is wholly cut off. But so
far IRON destroying the trade of the coun-
try, az The prophets of rebellion foretold,
there has been an increase of $20000,000
in exports, Gcducting the single article of
cotton. Instead OF grass growing in the
streets of New York, trade was never so
brisk and prosperous. The exports of
New York alone, the present year, viii
equal the average value oS the cotton crop,
in its best years It is nothing less than
insanity to suppose that the Funy efforts
Of the rebellion can effect The object de-
signed, or have any other result than the
total ruin of all engaged in it,
But here is the article from the Hati.
General business is quite prosperous
at present, Notwithstanding the war All
kinds of mercantile traffic are unusually
active. Our exports Of produce are large
ly in excess Of any precedent. Eotwith-
standing the new tariff, which was in
tended and expected to check the con-
sumption of foreign goods, the importa-
tons are fair average. The importers
and jobbers, who expected to be ruined,
are doing very well indeed, and the re-
ceipts at the Sub-Treasury for duties
are almost unexampled Our internal
| traffic was never so active as ut present.
The canal revenues exceed the most SAN
guine estimates which were made last
year The receipts of the railways sur
pass those Of last year, which were con-
sidered very good, by 25 and 40 per cent.
Our banks are full of paper money, which
| they are trying TO lend at four per cent (;
their specie reserve, which they don't
need and don't use, stands at a very high
| figure. Agriculture at the North has
/ proved this year successful as ii seems
! to have proved unfortunate in Great Bri p
tain. With us, every crop is either an
average or above an average. With the
British, hardly any crop is an average,
and the chief crops are far below one.
Industry, with the exception Of cotton
manufactures, is doing excelently Even
before the new tariff was enacted the
manufacturers Of New England and Penn
| sylvania were thriving that tariff gives
them 10 and 20 per cent more for their
goods, and the wooden manufacturers, the
boot and shoe trade, the hardware manu-
lacturers the iron founders, &c, &c, arc
coming money. In a word, nOtWith-
standing the war and the enormous ex-
penditures of government, on whichever
side we look we see evidences of lucra-
tive industry and prosperous commerce
