The effect of the anti-slavery crusade OF the last
TWENTY-FIVE years. which is reaching lis eliminating
point will be ruin the property and commerce OF the
North Already the work OF destruction is oeg1n..
The correspondence of special reporter 10 Nortn
Carolina which we published on Saturday last, demon
strates the fact He says Massachusetts alone senos
81 900 900 worth of shoes into that State annually but
that the probability s if there should be no seces
sion and no blows not halt that amount will be taken
next year. and the demand for other articles Will oml-
sh in the same ratio whether there be dunlon or not


The truth is that the Southern States now put upon
their mete and their pride will not permit them to re-
cede even if it were for their advantage 1t is like
throwing the British taxed tea into Boston harDor at
the time of the first revolution and the universal un-
dersandng which there to drink none OF that oe7e
rage rather than receive 1t from England lhe same
patriotic sentiments prompted Revolutionary fathers


to rejoice in the panest garb made of homespun rather
than wear the costlest and finest rament OF EDglish
manufacture The same is being done in the South
ern States.


The South regards New England, at this moment,
very much in the light that New England regarded
Old England about the year IT'D The South regards
New England its enemy and oppressor and 1t is de-
termned to fight it first in of trade and commerce,
and afterwards if necessary with gunpowder the rle
the bayonet and cannon Old England, with her vast
resources did not rghten the Colonies, the ia
natcs of the North with their boast OF eighteen millions
Of invaders scare the South into submission to tyranny
North Carolina" says correspondent, is deter
mined to strike blow at New England which will be
felt and she is able to do it. Acts OF unmstakabe hos
tility may be looked for at any moment" Southt rn
capitalists and manufacturers taking advantage of the
times will fan the fame and establish native factories
in every State. Cotton, Woolen, iron and leather Will
be wrought in evey shape and form, and the South Will
establish its independence OF the North as COM
pletely as if wall of brass built up to heaven on
Mason and Dixons line


New England will feel the effects of her folly most
but New York and Pennsylvania will also reap the
bitter fruits of the injustice to the South which now
being perperated by the citizens OF Northern Stats


Unless war should premaurely precplate the coming
calamity, it will take time to accomplish the COM
plete destruction of Northern commerce. But it will
sink, day by day. and hour by hour. The railroads will
feel it. The shipping interest engaged in the car
rying trade of the South threeOurhs of which North
ern will feel it. Real estate in New \ Ork will not
bring five the dollar of its present value
Stocks will be deprecated and Every interest will suffer
The South will build its ships and carry its own
merchandise and till that be achieved, English
French and other tore gn bottom will obtain prefer
those of ankeedom thus will manufactures
and receive and mlgh hty impetus at the
South and its vast resources become SO developed IN
few years to dazzle the world while, on the other
hand, the commerce and prosperity OF the North will
rapidly fall and the population, from wealth and pros
perty, sink into poverty and decay Other great re-
pubcs have fallen by their folly and their crimes. Let
the Northern States be too confident that they
not share the fate The destiny of the orth
hangs ON the will Of the South. Our statesmen have
often said that by act OF Congress refusing to sell
England cotton that country could be ruined and dry-
en- to revolution in SIX mouths BY refusal of the
South to sell cotton tie Northern States the e
feet would be produced here And to this complexion
it will come at last unless the gulf that yawns be-
tween North and South is speedily bridged by re-
turning TO the principles which this complex govern
ment founded, and giving the South the verge
and scope for its institutions which the Northern States
claim for theirs


There many think the PRESENT excitement
will pass over, like former dangers, without any Euri-
results But the present crisis is different from all
that has gone be ore it. lis practical nature in the
South brings home tOrclby tie feelings, sentiments and
acts OF the American Revoutionts OF eghyhve years
ago and those who wait to it pass away may find
themselves at last in the predcament of the clown who
standing the brink OF the Mississippi, far from any
bridge waited to the river flow away and its bed
become dry in order that he might to the other
side. The King of Floods continue to how and will
flow forever and will the present revolution roll on
In mpetuOus current and prevent all intercourse from
either sde unless by the hearty good will and coopera
tol OF n Orth and South the mighty stream bridged
or diverted from It's channels, IN the remote ages OF
antiquity, Cyrus turned aside the Euphraes which sep
arated him from Babylon-N Y. Herald.


Adventures of a Party Canadians Crossing the


Plains to Frazer River-Thirteen Men of n Party


of Fifteen Killed by Indians.


Inc brechln Advertiser publishes a letter from a
townsman who arrived in Victoria in October last,


after thirteen months on the plains among the Indians
The writer says Fifteen of US left St Paul's Min
nesota the 9th OF August, 1858 for Frazer River
with horse each. The first 20 days we got along
pretty good, but after that trouble commenced
The South Indians came in the night and took
our horses and provisions tied hand and foot and
commenced dancing around US with their knives. One
of party could understand little of their language
he got them to understand we did not want to harm
them--that we only wanted to travel through their
country and that we were going to pay them for it, but
they would not listen to him. They said that some
white had killed OF their tribe and their friends
were to be revengc2 on the white men. By the time
daylight began to appear they got up and oosened
feet and made US walk to where their camp was and
they put us In the wigWam and left two Indians to
guard us


The second night came but it fetched an awful sight
They came and took out to tie woods, and tied each
OF us to tree and stripped clothes off. They told
us that the chief was going to burn After the chief
came, he ordered them to build fire round the tree that
John Fletch was tied to, ths is the that could
speak to them) They burned him to death and killed
two more, and the rest of got away with lives,
after they had kept about three weeks We travelled
on for about forty days and party of Backfoot Indians
came Oh and wanted to take horses but could
not give them, SO they went of in rage. We did not
see any more OF them tor three days. but the fourth
about forty them down on u.s. and fired at u.s. Kill
ling two and wounding three. We fired on them and
Killed four, and then threw part of provisions away
to tighten our horses, could travel faster and
trusted to our guns for meat.


There is no danger of starving on the plains if
he has good gun and it. We travelled for fE
teen days, at about 30 miles day. and thought we had
got clear OF the Backfoot Indians-but they followed
US till we came to a large river-and when we were
crossing it they fred at from behind the trees They
did not hurt any of then but tire next day they at
tackled US in thicket and killed four of our party and
wounded one, that myself got ball through my
thigh There was now only six Of us left who got off
from them once more, and we had no more trouble of
them till we got to the Rocky Mountains. Having got
everything ready for crossing the mountains we saw
some Indians coming down. aad we made into the woods
