when Europe takes but little food from Va. the
traffic is 80 large, with the universal riddanoe
from debt, as TO promise for it golden future.
The rise of prices has been denounced as specu-
laton only, but there is nevertheless a substan-
ta foundation for it. This new traffic cannot
be diverted from us "a abruptly as 1t was lost TO
the South. The latter will be years 10 repairing
damages sufficiently to invite O resumption.
Meantime it will have acquired system and reg

which the community will be unwilling to
break away, while in cheapness of cost and
economy of timo the Northern outlets will be
considered preferable. A great trade ia easily
broken up aud lost but it is with difficulty re-
covered.
Northern sagacity may be proud of the literal
fllfilIment Of its various warnings. Its sturdy
common sense has never been made so con-
spicuous. II foresaw, foretold, and has lived
TO be witness. The reality has even exceeded
the prediction. Vast armies have made o
yaster dcsolation than friend or foe could have
dreamed of. The great centers of Southern
commerce are now silent as the Cities Of the
Plain. The world has ceased TO know them as
ports of entry. Her arrogant nsbobS who once

The North, having never been the victim OF
calamities like these, can form no just concep-
ton Of the misery that goes with them. But
