Pa Conservative Riots.- The following, from the Washington con-es pendent of the New York Times,‘ spea ks for itself: Tho riot in Bostnn in land its efi‘ect here. Although denounced as unlawful and disgraceful in the extreme thCUnion men of the South use it freely as illustrative 0“ the anti-Abolition sentment of the North. Every one, nearly, denounces the means employed by the rioters, but applaud the motive which prompted the act. If, instead of a hesitating, pettit‘ogging riot against a few black and white men and women. the people of Boston would give earnest of a. purpose to execute the laws, they might make some impression upon the Union men of the South. It is not. yet forgotten that. the doors of Fanueil Hall, which are now opened to the black traitors and white mobs, were closed by oraer of the city authorities 'against. Daniel Webster, when he wiehed to speak in defence of the Constitution and the laws. Passengers Returning from the South. Within the last few weeks, a. number of per— sons, chiefly mechanics and laborers, who had gone South for employment during the winter, havereturned to New York, whence they started, For some time several of the Republican papers in New York insisted that these passengers were repulsed from the South and Sent back by force. But this allegation is denied officially by the authorities of one or-more of the South ern cities implicated. These authorities declare that the reason of their return, was their in ability to find work and that in some instances these Northern visitors being destitute, were charitably' supplied with funds to pay their passage back. This we presume to 'be true, and the truth only shows the wretched state of things which has been precipitated by the political feud between North and the South. We have accounts ‘from New Orleans of a. con dition of business afi‘airs there, which is de plorable. Persons, who usually go Southward during the winter to find employment, have gone thither in win this year. Sew establish ments there at this time are out of the question. The derangement of business, and the financial depression at the South generally, are facts not. to be concealed. An Atlanta (GIL) corres pondent of a New York paper, ivrites thus of Georgia 2 Business in Macon remains depressed to an extraorslinary dagree: Cotton accumulates slowly in the warehouses at the rate of five to seven hundredvbsles a day, but, not one 1,313 has been sold since Friday last, ,1“. more than three or four hundred within a. fortnight. The banks are afraid to discount cotton bills in the face of the fact that their money comes right back upon them. Planters, under a nervous ‘pprehension of the consequences of a general political disturbance, turn their crops into gold I end lay it any for future contingencies. It: . this condition of afiairs, no relief is anticipated until some of the extraordinary penalties for suspension are removed from the banks. From Savannah I hear even worse aceounte. A letter from a President of a leading bank in that city to-day, says that all business is suf fering under a total paraliysis. Exchange can be sold on no point, on cotton buyers have been compelled to surrender back their pur chases in the shape of bills of lading. He even proposes. as a desperate expedient, the idea of making small advances on planters’ cotton, shipping it to Liverpool and returning them theirmanufaetured supplies, and the remainder i” 89“- T 111991“. howaver, he will find i-m -practicable. . Beyond a doubt, unless some relief is had “I? quickly, large amounts of mercantile pnpor must go he}: to your city dishonored. Others, whose credlt does not hinge so closely upon putionlnr dates, may console themselves with the reflection that, let money here be as source as it mey, it must be ultimately forth coming for the cotton. The cotton must be had, and in due time it will be bought and sold, if the goldhu to. be brought across the Atlantic for thetpurpose. , .

I? that State,_. Of all the Southern States ,i MISSISSIPPI Sllfiered the most from the drouth this summer. Corn is now selling at prices Whl¢h_ are absolutely ruinous to the planter; and, since the recent derangement of the cur reney, the supply, even at exorbitant prices, has been almost out off. Southern dealers can— not buy corn with Southern currency, for that Is depreciated beyond measure, and will hardly be taken at all in the West, nor can they get gold to buy it. with, for the recent panic has stopped the movement of cotton, put up ex— change on the North and checkedithe flow of specie Southward. A leading citizen of Mis sissippi writes that while the Congressional delegation of that State are diverting them selves by meeting to devise disunionist schemes 7 the planters and men of business are c'oncerting measures to be laid before the Legislature, in the hope of averting the famine which is now imminent. If relief be not afforded, he adds, by lst February, there will not be found enough in the State to feed the slaves, and the possible consequences are appalling to contemplate.— We are led to believe that the condition of other i cotton States—Alabama, Georgia and South Carolinn—is not much better than that of Mis~ sissippi, though in the present fierce political excitement this really much more vital matter is overlooked. No doubt some visitors from the Northern States have been turned back from dislike of their principles. Just now there is much ex-' asperation, South, on account of Lincoln’s election, and any man there known or believed to be an anti—slavery sectionalist fares badly, especially if there has been anything in his course which favors the supieion that he has taken up with anti-slavery, not because he loves the negroes but because he hates the South. 'ljhat such persons should be warned ofi‘ is not surprising. Indeed, there has sprung up at the South against the North on animosity such as the Helper’s Crisis was to infuse into the Northern mind against _the South. We see evidence of this in many public acts, and in the tone of Southern journals, which have been hitherto opposed to the firecsters, and, as a general thing, very moderate. Among these evidences is the following article from one of last week’s issues of the‘New Orleans Bulletin, 3. paper which supported Bell and Everett: Tm: RIGHT Course—We learn that the Di rectors of thc_Public Schools of the Fourth Dis trict have declined to receive applications, or to entertain them, for teacherships from gen— tlemen recently from the North. They have had several of late from persons from New York, Vermont, etc., but have considered it their duty to infarct the applicants that under existing circumstances their applications cannot be entertained. Now, .rre are free to admit that this rule may seem harsh, and in some individual cases would be unjust, because it might operate against those who in the North have maintained the rights of the South and opposed the crusade against her; but notwith standing this, it does seem to us that necessity and the principles of sclf~defence justify the general rule, with perhaps here and there an exception founded upon considerations above hinted at. We trust, therefore, that the rule which the Directors of the Public Schools of Fourth District have adopted, in practice if not by formal resolutions, will be acted upon by the Directors of all other Public Schools in the city, and as far as practicable, throughout the State. It is founded upon the principles of self-defense, and while we regret most sincerely that circumstances make it. our duty to act upon such a rule, we are compelled to think that. it is our duty, and that we should perform it. We are free to admit that the rule is founded upon the principle of retaliation and for the purposes of self-defense. The fanatics of the North have never thought of the proc tical'efi‘ects of their conduct, or that it could have any practical efl’ect upon (Item. The Republican members of Congress in dorse a hook that proposes to withdraw from the‘South every species of .support. No pa.- tronage to Southern books or papers, they say; no guestship in Southern hotels; no trade with Southern merchants; no clients to Southern advocates or physicians; no audi» ence to Southern clergymen, etc., etc. Very well. That. is a two-edged sword, and can out both ways; and if we are not absolutely sim ple, we shall hereafter make it out both ways. From the foregoing statements, it is easy to see why passengers going South for employ— ment find none awaiting them there. The state of things is bad enough now. What can be expected in the future, and not long hence, unless something immediately intervenes to stop the downward course of the country 1' LETTER 11150.1( WASHINGTON. - _._... ‘ .__. Correspumlence of the Patriot and Union WAsme-rox, Dec. 7, 1860. The intensity of feeling manifested on all sides, by all classes of persons in this city, is such as has never before been witnessed. In 1850, when the state ofthe country-celled for the exercise of the highest order of intellect and patriotism, there was, of course, mneh interest manifested by all classes then resident. or sojourning at the capital of the Union; but I am told by those who were here at that period, that no such apprehensions for the safety of the Union as are now entertained were then thought of. Never before has this conn. try been called upon to pass through such u trying ordeal as the present, because at no former period in our history have the people of the South been so much exasperated. Every en‘ort that can be made by the patriotic and Union—loving men of the North, whose position hero gives weight and in. fluence to their wise suggestions,nt this moment of peril to the best, the clearest interests of the na tion, is being made. Prominent among those men we find Senator Bigler, of Penneylrnnia, who is laboring day and night, with his brother Senators, to accomplish some plan by Which the win that threatens us can or may be averted, and the Union preserved. Va rious plans have been suggested at various times since the meeting, of the present session. The Southern Senators are in favor of tt Southern Con vention, whilst Senators Bigler, Pugh, of Ohio, Pearce, of Maryland, Bright and Fitch, of Indi ana, and a few others, are in favor of a general Convention: of all it", saws, for the purpose of so amending the Constitution as to P“t at ""5 ““3 slavery question by some provision in the funda ‘mental law of the land that will take this vexed question out of politics forever. For instance, one, plan is to amend the Constitution by incorporating :zfiszzzpéamises fr iszn, commonly called one Ompromxse, into the Constitution, which WW"? be Satisfactory to the South as far as it goes. i?“ m addition to this: ‘0 recognize the institu “°“ “male” “‘l‘" it Mists by the Constitution, ‘3“! I“ 3" be‘ “ntrolled South of the Missouri Compromise lmu by the same laws that control other property. For the Northern States to ropeal all laws now on their statute hooks inimical to the faithful carrying out ‘of the fugitive slave law in i the Northern States, and in all respects the sweep]. of the Northern State- to retreat in good faith every proeiéion'of the Constitution of the Unit“ States, without reg-it’d 36 the questions, ofmord low ‘ thst may be ruined by “I. fanatical in any section 1 of the Union; Third i! Milling in the foregoing programme that is not strictly right and proper, I to which every good citizen would say yes. and amen. Another plan is to remonstuct a republic } out of the Southern States andflsuch States as will agree to the new compact, under the Constitution of the United States as it is—regarding the South ern construction of the present Constitution as the true construction of that instrument—but leaving out of this new compact the New England States —-and that these States adopt a Constitution to i suit themselves. { It is well known that the present Constitution does not suit the New Englanders. Therefore, there seems much force in the idea that inasmuch as they are the agitating Status of this Union, that they should be permitted to form just such a. Constitu tion as they please for themselves. It seems to me that the New England States cannot object to this proposition ; and therefore if it is adopted, it will not only prevent a. disruption of the Union, but the Constitution now in existence will be preserved in. tact. all our laws and institutions under the Con i stitution will be preserved to the people who are 1 satisfied with those laws and institutions ; and the 3 intermeddling, restless, unsatisfied, domineering, fanatical Yankees will have the sloth!" privilege or either going over to Canada by annexation or forming such a oonfederacy as will suit their whims and caprices, whether politically or morally. They would then be rid of those thieves, robbers, and mur derers who trajic in slaves, as they delight to do. nounce the people of the Southern States, until they have brought the country to the very verge of ruin. ' The people of Pennsylvania would willingly con sent to this proposition I feel certain ; because they are satisfied with the present Constitution, and will be willing to abide by all its provisions and teachings. This latter proposition of letting New England adopt. a new confederacy and a new Gon stitution for herself is the thought of one of the wisest and most sagaeious men of the Nation, whose whole life has been spent in public, and. in the dis. cussion of political economy. It has the merit of novelty as Well as good sense to recommend it to the thinking men of this country, and should be received by all such with that gravity that becomes the solemn occasion that suggested it. It is time that the people would take hold of this question of disunion and speak out upon it em phatically, so that those who are in power may know the will of the people on this important and all-absorbing subject before it is too late. It is feared that the masses of people throughout Pennsylvania and elsewheredo not fully realize the critical position of the country at this moment- Dcpsnd upon it, they are slumbering over a. vol. cello that may open its yawning mouth and engulf them are long. ' There is much indignation manifested by all classes of people here against Senator Hale, of New Hampshire, for his intemperate and highly imprn. dent speech, a few days ago, on the floor of the ‘ Senate. Such is the intense nature of the feeling, that I confess I would not like to he hath; position I of the Senator from New Hampshire, if that feel- 1 ing grows much stronger. The people are becoming l desperate, and consequently dangerous. In times : like these men should not tempt the forbearance of 1 the populace too far. “There is a point beyond which endurance ceases to be a virtue and tolera~ tion a crime.” . To-dny the Northern Democratic Senators are informally in caucus on the question of the condi— tion of the country. Mr. Speaker Pennington, of the House of Representatives, has proven himself unworthy of the high post to which he has been elevated, by the selection he has made of at least one member of the Committee, under Mr. Boteler’s resolution. I mean the selection of Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland. He has not only outraged the State of Maryland, whose representativg it is notorious Davis is not, save by fraud and violence that would disgrace any other man but. H. Winter Davis, but he has by this not turned the most sol cmn and momentous question ever presented to the American people into a. mockery. Pennington and Davis are alike denounced by every man you meet -—the one for his stupidity and imbecility, and the other for his crimes against the rights of the peo ple of Maryla‘nd and the. elective franchise. Un— less the DemocraticSenatcrs agree upon some ba sis of re-union and compromise, which will be acquiesced in by the conservative Republican Senators, there is no hope of anything conning from a committee composed of such men as H. Winter Davis, of Maryland, the Robespiere of modern thngism in the city of Baltimore. The Putnam Phalanx are still here, and appear to enjoy themselves. They paraded yesterday fore noon, and today they were reviewed by the Presi dent of the United States in front of the While House. Last night the citizen soldiery of Wash ington city gave the Phalanx a ball 5 which is said to have been quite a recherche and unique afi‘air. Much has been said and written on the subjec of the new President’s Cabinet, and some gentle men have been so far in advance of “all the world and the rest of mankind,” on that important sub-' joct, that they have been kind enough to publish the names of the gentlemen who are to form the new Cabinet. * Some of these writers have even said that Gen. Cameron, of Pennsylvania. is an applicant for a seat in the new Cabinet. This is not correct. Gen. Cameron is not only not an applicant for a Cabinet appointment, but he will not be. He would not seek a place in the Cabinet under any circum stances ; because heis satisfied with the high posi— tion he now holds, and esteems it as saflicient to satisfy his ambition. If Gen. Cameron ever does take a seat in Lincoln’s Cabinet, it must beat the solicitation of the President, and in accordance with the wishes of his political friends in Pennsyl vania, and not at the end of a contest with any other asptrant for a Cabinet appointment.. We feel warranted in asserting this fact, that there is but one place in the Cabinet that Gen. Cameron ' could be induced to accept—and that is the Tree sury Department, which he might be induced to accept, because of his devotion to the tarifi‘ ques tion that is so intimately connected with that De partment ; but we know that be neither seeks nor desires any position under the new President. i Then let all those gentlemen who are-so anxious to l enlighten the public on this subject be perfectly ' easy on the score of Gen . Cameron’s aspirations for i ‘ a scat in the new Cabinet; those who are appli. l oants for such places need not trouble themselves , about the General being in their way~for we can assure all such that , ! 4‘ Keill neither Spurn nor for the favor cull. i ' It comes unaskod for, it'it comes stall." ,l is Damn may wear: NOT Dwmrn.—-The Wheeling Intelliqmzcer says :———A singular fune ral, and a. still more singular burial, took place up in our neighboring town of Washington, Pennsylvania, last Wednesday. Patrick Bry eon and his wife were interred in the same grave. They were an old couple—he 94, and she but few years his junior. He died on Sun day night, and she on Tuesday; and the corpses of both were lifted and carried in the same funeral train, to the same grave, and then com mitted to “the dustfrom whence they sprang,” side by side. They had lived together, as man, and wife, for sixty-six years, coming from Ire land soon after their marriage. They had re sided in the town of Washington for sixty.five years, and hadvmie'ed a Large family, and seen Washington rise from u withernese to what. it is’ new. They were-plain, ‘go'od, quiet, old-rub ioned people-who had commenced the morning of life together, and continued through the noonlide to its close. GENERAL NE WS.
