C( in this cruaJe against the South, be
lieve tli. -it limy aro erig:ir;ii in the dis
rh.tre of a solemn duty, we have nevur
(iouhtod, but, t our apprehension, iho
danger is rather increased, than dimin
isliei! by lhat considerutiun. We p iss
by altogether the few miserable vvretehes,
who seem to find pleasure in reviling the
institutions of their eountry, because, by
the force of circumstances over which
we have no control, the existence of sla
very, whilst deprecated as an evil, is still
tolerated. lint when we find men of
character and respectability, individuals
who claim to be professors of that pure
and sacred religion, taught by the "Son
of righteousness," disregarding not only
the obligations imposed on them by their
station and moral influence in society,
but zealously lending themselves to the
propagation and support of doctrines
which, if their appeal be successful, must
cost the liaes of thousands of their fel
low citizens, we feel ourselves bound to
express the opinion, that firmness and
vigilance can alone secure us from the
pernicious consequences to be apprehen
ded from their misdirected zeal.
Let us not be supposed that we seek to
magnify this subject into an undeserved
importance, or that we exaggerate the
danger to be apprehended from the ac
tion of these misguided fanatics. Even
the Editors of the Richmond Enquirer,
who, scarcely ten days since, seemed
disposed to ridicule the efforts and the
apprehensions of those who sought to
put the South upon its guard, have chan
ged their tone, und now admit that these
machinations "are made of sterner stufF"
than "was ever dreamt of in their philo
sophy." We believe, with the Enqui
rer, that the great body of our northern
fellow citizens give no sanction to those
mischievous and ill-advised efforts to
work upon lhat class of ourj population,
for whose benefit "these factious fana
tics" pretend they are laboring. But the
ball lias been put in motion, and it re
quires general action to arrest its pro
gress. The aid of the pulpit is invoked,
inflammatory addresses will be exten
sively circulated, and if the Press be si
lent, the only efficient curb upon their
mud schemes will be removed.

that the Governyr of the island had dis
solved the Provincial Legislature in con
sequence of their refusal to pass the ne

of the British Parliament for the eman

had sent munitions of war, and provi

A GENERAL AGENCY
And Commission Business,
And by so doing, believe that they can promote,
in some degree, the interest of the Farmers and
Planters, by the saving lhat it will be to them
from the strict and personal attention to all Pro
duce and Goods consigned to them, and in order
to do which the belter, they have taken the
Neiv House immediately at the Rail Road De
pot in Petersburg,
That they may be on the spot to examine and
receive all Produce as it comes in and in order to
prevent its being exposed, to have it with their
own hands carefully put away or carefully de
livered to the buyer before any injury can be
sustained by which the1 purchaser may claim a
deduction, and from the general complaint a
mong the Planters growing out of the want of
some special attention to their general interest;
the undersigned in offering their services for
such purpose expect only to meet that sort of en
couragement that their strict attention shall seem
to merit, nor will they ask more, under the full
belief lhat such a house is greatly needed and
will be largely supported. The Subscribers
have pot the prices of their labor so low that no
one will feel it, while they are satisfied that
enough will see il to their interest, to encourage
them lo an extent that will compensate them for
services rendered. H. B. Montague, late of
Richmond, has been for many years engaged in
the Tobacco business, a part of the time as Man
ufacturer, and feels that he can give general sat
isfaction to all sending to the house that article,
knowing what suits the Manufacturers of this
place as well as those of Richmond, if he could
not obtain prices to suit, he would send it there.
J. D. Williams, a native of North Carolina, has
been long acquainted with the article of Cotton,
and from the general satisfaction given when he
has sold for his friends, we have no doubt of be
ing of use to ourselves as well as to those that
may choose lo employ us.
The following charges will be made on con
signments: Attention to receiving and selling Cotton, 50 cents
per bale.
Receiving and shipping Tobacco to Richmond, 80
cents per hogshead.
Do. do. Flour to the North, 10 cents per bar
rel if sold in this market, 12 cents per barrel.
Receiving and shipping manufactured Tobacco, 12$
cents per box or keg.
Do. Wheat carefully taken off the Cars, sold and
bags sent back for 2 cents per bushel.
Corn do. 1 do. do.
Advances made on Flour or manufactured To
bacco if required when shipped to the North.
The usual Commissions charged when advan
ces are made on Produce for this market.
Advantageous arrangements may be made by
those shipping Goods from the North, as this is
one branch of our business, to which our atten
tion will be particularly directed. Goods bought
and sent to Planters without Commission when
we sell their Produce, or if in hand.
