When the American Constitution and
Union was first framed and consummat-
ed New England was the latent fungus
that was destined, ike a foul, corro-
ding, fostering ulcer, to vitiate and de-
stroy that great embodiment of human
liberty ant. Justice. And it does seem
that the Almighty had foreordained
the dissolution of the Federal Union,
by permitting this pestiferous race to
become component part of it, as the
most fitting instrumentality for such a
work, and as a visible and striking
warning to all other countries and peo-
| pie to keep, forever hereafter, clear,
separate and distinct from so vile race.
That's heavy on New England; but
we rather guess that section can stand
it The writer continues:
The New England puritanical scoun-
drels plainly see their fate in the ac-
complishment of great Northwestern
Confederacy Their vile, hypocritical
sheets, everywhere, are. exhibiting great
uneasiness about the matter, and are
spewing out their venom upon all those
whom they suspect They talk about
the West now as If they had bill of
sale upon every able bodied man in it.
This is true, and we call upon you TO
mark the character of the language
they use about you and and your rights
IN order to terTify you into submission
FULFILL YOUR DESTINY this is the
command of Heaven. The grand re-
suits of great "NORTH-WE ESTERN
CQNFEDERACY are not difficult TO
be foreseen; the magnificent realities
of such 8 glorious consummafion cast
their gorgeous shadows before yet we
have not time and space now TO lift the
veil and exhibit the gigantic proper
tlons and the brilliant future which
they portray We can only say to the |
people of the Northwest that New Eng
land can never subjugate the South, |
however long your blindness, or igno- |
rance may induce you TO aid her In this |
base design. We have further to say
to you that you are fighting the battles |
OF your enemies against those whom |
you ought to look upon as your best |
friends and customers. You are fight |
ing against those with whom you ought |
to be fighting, side by side, as your nat !
ural allies, and with whom, if you |
would study your greatest future good, |
you may be found, in future, fighting |
side by side, on all occasions necessary |
to protect and defend human liberty
and public right, or to repel foreign in
suit or aggression. These important
are left with yourselves
Strike aOhile yO,n. arms are free As to
the people of the South, they are de
to be free and to live under
that form of government which, in their
opinion, shall seem most likely to Sc
cure their future happiness and vel
fare.

In consequence of the increased cOst

the Proprietors of the NASHVILLE

the price of subscriptions, advertising,
&c. They have adopted new sched-

into effect on Monday, Sept. 26th, and
be scrupulously adhered to.
This step has been taken reluctantly,
hut after mature deliberation; and not
until we were satisfied that it could no
longer be safely deferred We trust
however. that il viii not be long before
the country is relieved of the high pri-
ces which are draining the resources of
business men, and we can return to
the old rates. We shall be most hap

Correspondence from Europe repre-
sent the French Emperor as very much

Austrian Imperial family, on account
of the conduct of that Empire in the

"a disagreement, the serious conse-

Camels shipped fOr the Vnlted States.

From the London News, Oct. ID.
A female camel with her young one.
arrived in Southampton yesterday, to
be sent out in the Bremen mail steamer
New York to the United States. They
were accompanied by an Arab keeper
BY no cOntrIVsnce could the cider camel
be induced to.cross the gangway from
the dock to the ship, although the Arab
tried by blows and by coaxing with
bag of oats TO get her on board. The
young camel, about the size of pony.
and covered with beautiful soft silky
hair, stuck TO his dam As the tide was
about 10 ebb, the pilot on board the
ship became impatient, aud called out,
Have the animal shipped" A number
OF the German passengers on board the
New York rushed on shore, and, amidst
shouts Of laughter, took the young cam
ell up IN their arms and carried him
bodily into the steamer, and the ship
was obliged to leave the side Of the dock
Immediately, leaving the she camel be-
hind. The young camel began to cry
IN the most pitiful manner on being
separated from his dam, and the latter
hearing the cries, moaned distressingly,
her eyes were mOistened with tears, and
her head was slowly and solemnly NOV
ing to and fro, looking for her young
one. AT length she was put into horse
box and slung on board a steam tug
and taken out to the New York, which
waited IN the stream for her.

Exports from the Rebel States.

We find in the London rebel organ
(the Iader) a list which purports to be
statement "in part Of the imports
of Southern cotton and tobacco into
Englaad from the lst Of September TO
the lst Of October The total quantity
Of cotton received during that period
is reported to have been 1881 bales,
the value Of which, in round numbers,
is about 81 000WaO. OF the vessels which
carried this twenty-five cleared from
MatamOras, the quantity brought by
them being about five thousand bales
These figures will serve to give an idea
Of the immense activity that has pre-
vailed in the traffic between the rebel
States and England. despite of all the
efforts Of our cruisers. The shutting
up of the port of Wilmington, the
principal channel for this trade, will, of
course, cut off a large proportion of it,
All the means of entry on the rebel
line of coast will then be Theoretically
closed, and their supplies by direct
sources cut oil There. will remain
only the line of supply through
Texas; but, "a this is circuitous and te
dious. it will fail to satisfy the wants of
the rebels as fast as needed. The pos
session by the French of MatamOros
will, of course, continue TO facilitate the
traffic 10 a certain extent by rendering
the articles that pass that way secure
from seizure. Had measures been taken
by our government TO permanently oc
cnpy Brownsville and the line of the
Rio Grande we should have been ena-
bled to put an estoppel upon all traffic
by that route. This, however, will, we
presume, be done as soon as a sufficient
force can be spared for that purpose;
but by that.time we SHOULD be in a oon-

more effective manReF-namely, by
