our Charleston Letter.

The letter of our Charleston correspon'
dent this morning will pay for reading
There is q bit offlne sarcasm in his compar'
ison of the new Senator TO Cesar, in that
like him he came, and saw and conquered.
Many Of our readers will be surprised as
well as pleased to find Judge FER
ousoN taking such bold and manly and
impreguable ground as he did in the dis
cussion of the Flick amendment. The
revolutionists can count on him rs an op-
ponent to their schemes all the time and
they will find him a lion in their path at
every turn, no matter how devious may
be their ways.

New York Dry Goods Market.

VIEW IUhhI IVUTWHTyI'
The inclemency Of the weather, the
prospect of IN early thawing Of the fro.
zen streams and the cessation OF hOstilities
in Europe tend to dampcn the ardent
spirits of the short supply holders, who
were looking ioran carly trade; the up.
ward tendency in prices, the high freigh,s,
bad weather and lifeless condition OF the
trade throughout the country, owing to
the scarcity Of money, keeps buyers out,
and part from operations in the early
clothing trade; there Is but little stir or
animation in the market for general job
dry goods. Prices in the meantime re-
main quite uniform.
