Tho effect of those laws was confessedly injurious, but the evil was greatly exaggerated by the unfounded theory you were taught to be lieve, that its burdens were in proportion to your eiports, not to jour consumption of imported utticles. Your pride was roused by the a-s.-crtions that a submis tion to these laws was a state of vassalage, nnd that resistance to them was equal, in patriotic merit, to the oppoMtion our fath- ers ouprca io me opprensivc ias ui Great Britain. You were told that this opposition might be peaceably might bo ; constitutionally made that you might enjoy all the advantages of the Union and none of its burdens. Eloquent ap- , peals to your passions, to your state pride, to your native courage, to your senc of real injury, were u-ed to prepare joa for the period when the mask which concealed tho hideous features of Di?u nion should be taken off. It fell, and you were made to look with comp'.ace-ncy on objects which not long since you would havo regarded with horror.

You are free members of a flourishing and happy Union. There is no settled desigu to op press you. You have, indeed, felt the unequal operation of laws which have been unwisely, not unoonstitutionally, passed; but that inequality must necessari ly be removed. At tho very moment when you were madly urged ou to the unfortunate course you hvo begun, a change in public opinion has ooamenced. The nearly approaching payment of the publio debt, and tbo consequent necessity of a diminution of dutie, had already caused a considerable reduction, and that, too, on some articles of general consump tion in your state. Tbe importance of this chaogo was underrated; and you were authoritatively told that no further alleviation of your burdens was to be ex pected, at the very time when tho condi tion of the country imperiously domand- ed fuoh a modification of the duties as should reduce them to a just and equila-! b!c scale. But, as apprehensive of the j effect of this change in allaying your dis content, you were precipitated into the fearful state in which you now find your? solves. "I have urged vou to look back to the means that were used to hurry you on to uance of our uuezampled prosperity, oar tbo position you have now assumed, and political existence, and perhaps that of all forward to the consequences it will pro- free government, may depend.

Some un easiness is felt at so many troops being allowed to leave the State, and Governor Piokens has declared that no more troops shall bo allowed to leave. 1. I .! It T . Affairs in Hew Orleans. Tho Boston Traveler learns, from a gentleman juet from New Orleans, some particulars of the state of affairs in that city: 'There is one regiment in New Orleans composed entirely of colored men, inclu ding slaves aa well aa froe blacks, the Colonel of which is named Thomas Zaba tut. The people in and about the city havo no fear of insurrection, but in tho interior of tho state there is, it is said, some danger that tho blacks will rise. ,s0ur informant states that everything, is changed in New Orleans. One would never know by passing through the btreeta that there was such a country as the Uni States. Every sign,ovory name and ev erything that ever pertained to our gov government or the Union have been ob literated. "Some of the men who are now io the southern army have aaid, when question ed as to their opinion of seoeoesBion, that it was tho 'rankest treason.' A large number of those who went from New Or leans to Pensacola were at that time U nion men. If will be remembered that tbere were seven of tho convention that did not sign the ordinance of secession. Among this number was Edward "Rosier, a lawyer who replied, when asked if ho would not sign, bringing his clenched fist upon the table, I will never sign that, so help me God,' and yet that same man is now in the army. "Tbere is one larre .cotton merchant, worth $300,000 who is now a private sol dier, with one of his own clerks for cap- ain of the company. "Nine-tenths, it is said, of the men en gaged in privateering are from the North.' Change of Tune in Palmettodom. Tbo Charleston (S. C.)

The boast of aristocratic Virginians that Pooabontas founded their families, is but one among tbe bays around the brows of the F. F. Vs. Tho F. F. V. has a reputation not only great, but growing. He is renowned for his affection for sher ry coblers, snd his aversion to anything calculated to induee either weariness or perspiration. If all the world were F. F. V s., the doom of labor upon man would never have been fulfilled. Let him alone, and the oasBimeres of the F. F. V. would grow a crop of mushrooms, while two small boys wduld be necessary to pull bis mouth open whenever he wished to gap. Since tbe F. F. Vs. have sbnl-cn off their indolence and taken to fig t ting:, they show that some things can be done as well a others, and that when propelled by the proper kind of fear, an F. F. V. possess es an ability to get over nearly as much ground in a given time as a dummy lo comotive. For this reason, a poetical friend suggests that the F. F. V.'s have lately entitled themselves also to fresh laurels as "Fleet Footed Virginians." In their recent retreats, beginning at Phlllippi and ending with tho last battle, they have shown an ability to do up their miles with a looseness only to be surpass ed by F. F. Vs. when Pennsylvania bay onets are perforating their coat tails.

Boots and shoes. Jin this warm woather, are voted a boro, unless they are full of patent ventilators. The great shoe trade is very much do pressed here, the receipts and sales being fall one hundred thousand cases loss than to this time last year. The consumption has decreased enormously. Somotbous- lands of people must have had their old shoes touched up by the oobblera, while at the South as many must be going baro- loot. The country may be pronouncod "bare of shoes." As to a supply of things Southern, wo get along famously. All the Orient pro duces rice, and is most happy to do the chivalrous thing for us in that reBpect. There is more cotton in New York than iu nil the Southern porip put togeth er, while the demand for that articlo in Liverpool to-day is less than it was a month ago. This is not what Davis k. Go. ooanted on. With a small fnpply of cotton has come a small domand for cal ico. One balances the other, and makes the supply a matter of much less import ance than it was supposed it would bo. What with tbo immense supplies which the far-seeing capitalists of Lowell, Law ronoo, &c., have got from the South, and even from England, and the decreased demand for calico, they can snap their fingers at producers, for a couple of years. As to sngar, we are in a fiao condition. We have been payiog a heavy tariff on it, out of complaisance to Louisiana, and if wo want to be flooded with a superior ar ticle of tbe saccharine, at greatly reduced rates, we have only to moderate this tar iff. Again, the cultivators of the Sor ghum arc meeting with huge success in West. The Sooth used to send as some fruit and vegetables, but less than wc sent it; and now our retention of our vegetables, fruits, and cereals makes thorn cheaper for consumers here. The blockade of North Carolina stops our usual supplies of pino wood, but gives employment to thousands of our people, who are cutting "kindling" in New Jer fley and elsewhere, instead of following their UBual and more lucrative trades. The loss of the thirty-three million dol lars worth of pitob, tsr, turpentine and rosin, wnicn jNortn Uarolina gave us an nually, and to foreign nations through our ships, operatos beneficially on those who find employment in manufacturing these artioles in Northern States. We get no more Virginia shingles nor Carolina boards; but, on tbe other hand, many of our country mills have gone to work at sawing shingles and others at splitting.
