SOUTHERN MERoHANTs IN New YoRK.-'
The Tribune, Of Saturday says: ssThe he
gira of merchants and business men from
the lSouthsis just beginning, and d, larger
trade from them than usual is looked Tor
during the next two weeks. Most of she
Southerners are buying this season for cash
down, and have, moreover, the gratifying
advantage of standing we'll rs to credit. No
longer reckless, as of yore, they are making
their purchases with marked discretion and
prudence. Those from the interior of the
South, as we'll as from Virginia and North
Carolina, have not yet arrived in town; only
the dealers from the large seaboard cities,
from Charleston, Savannah, Mobile and
New Orleans, have been on to buy. New
Orleans, which alone has received already
100000 bales of the last years cotton crop,
has been especially large buyer. Owing
to the very remunerative crops gathered in
that section during the past year, the South
is credited with more spare cash than the
West. The best informed parties from the
extreme States, from Florida, Louisiana and
Texas, report 6 "lenty of money in the in
terror of tle )u;itry, far more than ever
has been SAGE the close of the war; although
the entire crop of cotton has not yet been
sent into market, ms some planters are still
holding on for higher prices. The South
orners seem at last to have learned the wis.
dom of work aud economy, and they are
reported to be investing their surplus
change in railroads, stocks, and other like
remunerative works.

''Tho man-springs of our prosperity had

Prophecies of John G. Calhoun.


We copy the following from a com.
munication in the Richmond Enquirer
and Eraminer
In 1887, John G.. Calhoun, whose
perspicacity was so wonderful that his
prophecies have become history, thus
addressed the Senate of the United
States: -
"Be assured that emancipation it
eelf would not satisfy these fanatics ;
that gained, the next step would be to
raise the negroes to a social and poll
teal evuality with the whites /; and
hat being effected, we would soon
find the present condition of the two
races reverse. I speak with full knowl-
edge and a thorough examination of
the subject, and, for one see my way
clearly. One thing alarms me-the
eager pursuit of gain which overspreads
the land, and which absorbs every
faculty OF the mind and every feeling
of the heart. Of all passions, avarice
is the most blind and compromising
the last to see and the first to yield to
danger. I dare not hope that any
thing I can say will o u the South
to a due sense of danger I fear it is
beyond the power of mortal voice to
awake it in time from the fatal securi-
ty into which 1t has fallen"
