The Financial Aspect.

The terrible commercial crisis, so long expected, is slowly but surely drawing nigh. The culmintion of the great polit- ical war which desolsted the South did not end there. Like a huge wave, it has rolled over that rich and beautiful half of the Union, and after carrying untold horrors to ten millions of once happy people, and leaving land that actually. flowed with milk aud honey bleak and barren waste, the wave is now surgibg back upon us. and bringing the evils bf financial and commercial chaos, the ex}ent of which. as yot, we do not dream of. 1 The South ca'- not De dtotted out riidoutlentaiiMg 'cPof- iisn, spon dte Norh, and dho complete dcs- olation of the South is tNse, hclliah work which Thad. Stevens and hiSA co-workeTs haee sworn to spend the balance TSt tlieir lives to accomplish.
 To-day, all over the Ntsth, we hear grcahs of financial embarrassment. ] ha comincrcul world is sick. In every largo city of the Northern States the productive branches are parilyzed. Money is said to be tight" The markets are depressed. Workingnncti are turned out of employ ment. Hundreds of hard listed foreigners, who year ago, were tempted by thc ra- mors of high wages in this country, to leave their homes in Germany and Switzcr land and other parts of Europe, and em- bark for ouF shores, have found the reality disappointment, and have returned to their friends to tell them that America is not the country ik was six years ago I'm porters, in our cSNmcrcial centres, arc shipping their stocks Aack to Europe Manufacturers are stofping productions by working only half tic tiSsaee Ihere ia alarm and distrust everywhere sAaad sfsas is the marvel thereof We hear. all sorts sorts of explanations of the present state of af- fairs. The leading financial writers have given the commercial classes tho causes of this peculiar state of affairs, and each writer has theory of his own, which ho feels is the trtie ohe We are told that there is too much money; and again, thss. there is plethora of goods; that the con- suiners' market is glutted; and again wo are given to understand that there are not goods enough in the country. Another theory is, that prices are too high, another. that the price itself, has nothing to do win it, but fluctuations or changes, in values growing out of the variations of tho gold quotations, cause the stagnatiou ia trade, but not one of the scorss of thcorist, seem to have the least idea of ttc chief cause in the stagnationih the commercial market to-day.

 USkAsiNEss AT THE NoRrH.-The Washing ton correspondent of .hc Riehmond EirateA says:
 ''Accounts from the North represent q very uneasy state of feeling regarding the Spring trade and the general prosperity of business of all kinds, and wide spread desire exists to have the Southern States restored at the earliest moment for tho protection of North cfn capital. The Radicals there are becor- ing alarmed at the demoralized Slate of affairs in Congress. And some predict the admis- sion of the Southern States before the end of the present session. If they find that their trade is suffering heavily from the non-repre- sentation of the Southern States, petitions and memorials asking that immediate action be taken will assuredly be found showering ih upon the Senate and House ofRerresenta- tives."
