As an Instance Of the revival of business r.
lations with our lately "wayward slsters,''
the steamers now leaving New York for
southern ports almost Invariably depart with
full freight. A steamer was advertised to re-
celyc freight on Friday for Mobile. By day
light On Friday, there was line of drugs aud
wagons that extended moro than half a mile
from the dock where the steamer lay. Some
Of these drays did not reach tho steamer until
tho middle Of Saturday afternoon. During
the night most Of the draymen removed their
animals, leaving the vehicles and their loads
In the care Of watchmen. The steamer was
compelled 10 mako an end Of receiving long
before all the freight on the draya WIS de1iv-
cred, and departed OF Sunday morning, cur
rying all tho cargo she could get On board.
Therc'i Is q great demand for goods for South
e1n markets, and the city Is full Of buyers.
The dry goods trade md the hardware trade
arc in a Gourishing condition, and all our
dealers wear couutenances bcaming with de-
light.
THE POLITICAL CONTEST
Is becoming warm. The politicians abuse
each other tn the most energetic manner, and
make assertions Of dishonesty Of The worst
{polidcaD character. The proofs adduced are
such Is to convince M impartial outsider that
Weed abuses Greeley, and Greeley abuses
Weed, neither Of. them being sparing Of nd
jectlvcs OF tic cpithetiea1 character. On
Monday Weed published lctttr Of most
egotistical nature, and yesterday the Herald,
referring to that letter, compares Weed to o
I harmless lunatfc who used to imagine himself
winding up the sun daily. Great meetings
are held here and elsewhere nt which the most
| prominent politicians are trotted out. Al
| thc meeting last week ut the Academy Of Mu.
| sic, Mr.. Greeley was one ofthe speakers, nnd
| ustenished LIS hearers by announcing Ills DE-
| Termination not to nssail any pcrson OF lis
own party. This was an unusual exercise OF
| mpnnanimity, us Mr., Grctley's oncmlcs seldom
omit m opportunity 10 abuse him. What
| ever may knvc been Ills courtesy at the meet
Ing. he Is not thus torbearing In the columns
| of1lc Tribune.
