Mr DEAR SIR-I have letter from Wise,
OF tho 9Th. full of spirit He says the Gov
erncrs of North Carolina, South Carolina
and Louisiana, have already agreed to tho
rendezvous at Raleigh. and others wilI-tbis
in your most private ear.
He says further that he had officially re-
ques'ed you to exchange with Virginia. on
fair terms Of difference. percussion for flint
muskets. don't know tho usage or power
of the Department in such cases, but If IL
can be dono. sven byNliberal construction, I
hope you will accede.
Was there not an appropriation at tho
last session for converting flint into percus-
sion arms, IL so, would it not furnish good
reason for extending such facilities to tho
States Virginia probably has more arms
than the other Southern States, and would
divide in case ot need.
Ia io,tcr yesterday to a committee in
South Carolina. | gave it as my Judgment
in tho event of Fremonl's election, tho
South would not pause but proceed at
once to immediate, absolute and eternal
separation. So am a candidate for tho
fret halter.
Wise says his accounts from Philadelphia
are cheering for Old Buck in Pennsylvania.

The DIAMOND MARKET.-The Inde-

market in this city: ..a

The very low duty five per cent. on Ut

secret introduction into The county
A few days since a diamoud merchant
entered at tie Custom House a single
brilliant, which was invoiced a! Paris at
Iorty thousand trancs-lhe cost Of which
alter paying the duty Of FIVE per cent,
would be about fifteen Thousand dollars.
The duty on diamonds is SO small that
there is hardly lemp,slioc to smucgle
them, yet the greater part OF the precious
stones imported here doubtless come in
free Of duty. The Custom House books
exhibit but a very small number OF dia.
mond entries; bu, the imporla,ions OF the
past Two years thronsi ;he Gus ON House
show considerable increase over any
previous year. The toal amount Of gems
and precious stones, hot set, entered at
our Custom House in 1851, was but 49,

ent year il has heen S97 246, and 10 1869
it was Sl88ee1. So that in The second
year OF the war the importation Of dia.
monds increased four fold on the previous
year. and the third year bids fair to double
on that. We doubt if there have been
any diamonds or unset gems imported
into the Confederate States since the Re-
