The Irish i: The North. The New York
Herald publishes a secret circular, which it is evi-
i t'cnt the abolitionists have printed in the North und
cnf nn nnt .:,h it. ni'or tif South to mail it in
son. an asrent with it over tue touin to man it in
. . .i c .i . ri :i :
different towns in order to make it appear that it
emanated front the Southern meu. This circular
is addressed to the Irish in the North, invoking ;
litem to bum faefnries and irrannries in relation to
incendiarism at 'he South.
The Herald conjee-
tmi.thnt !hp nhi ot'i nt t its wfire to disirust tne
were to dis.Misjt the
Irish with Southern men. by the fact that they sin
gled them out as capable of such attrocious crimes
and to excite now indignation in the North against
both Irishmen and slaveholders.
The Herald is right in supposing that such a
document could never have emanated from the
South. Incendiarism is not its mode of waging
warfare. It is bard to tell which most to despise
in these fanatics, their hvpocnsv or fiiaHee. The !
Irish, thank Heaven: arc everywhere in their way
From the first breath of abolitionism to this hour,
not one Irishman, either North or S"outli. has been
an vt hiss but its bitter and uneompnnnisinir foe.
Irishmen have been killed in tbe free States, in
maintaining the rights off tbe South; but there
wns no Irishman in John Brown's company, or
anv other abolition pang. Irish blood was shed
at Harper's Ferry, but it was shed iu behalf of the
Constitution and the South- We thank this gal
lant, generous and Christian people; we honor and
respect them far more than natives who are false
and faithless to the country.
EASTERN LANDS.
There are portions of our State, where the lands
are ordinary, and the number of slaves is large, in
which the people not knowing the advantages pos
sessed by the Eastern counties, in the low price,
and fertility of the swamp ami uplands, are one by
one going off to the Soutbwest in search of lands
upon which they can place their negroes to advan
tage. We heard the other day that several weal
thy men were making arrangements to leave War
ren and Halifax Counties, because of the difficulty
of making ample support for their negroes Others
we heard were contemplating a visit to the lower
counties in search of land.
We have tried to place before the public fre
qtietitly the advantages possessed by our Eastern
Counties, nnd have been successful to some extent
in directing public attention to them. No better
lands in the South and West can be found, than
w ehave in abundance in the Counties of Edgecombe
Pitt' Beaufort, Tyrrell. Washington, Hyde, Carter
et, Cmvon, Jones, Onflow and Lenoir. Mr Holden
in his address at Favetteville. states that there are
a million of acres of swamp lands yet unopened in
the East, and these are capable of producing an
amount of grain, sufficient to answer the wants of
the present population of the State. The high
, itnds in all these counties produce cotton well, and
j they are abundantly supplied with the moans of
; improvement, to make them at little expense
I equal to the cotton lands of the South. Why do
; not our citizens of the middle aud upper counties,
; whose large slave force require that they should be
: on more productive lands, come and see ? Why
i go West or South tvhen all that you need can be
! obtaind so readily and cheaply in the old North
, State ? Every removal lessons her wealth and
j available resources. Why leave the homes of
j your fathers, when you can so easily stock farms
1 in the lowlands, v.dthin a dav's travel of home,
which will prove as remunerative as the lands of the
VC est? Wash nHjfoti (X. C.) Despatch.

A STRUGGLE WITH CHINESE ETI
QUETTE. The American Minister at Tekin seems to have
been overcome more by Chinese etiquette than
Chinese diplomacy. A long squabble took place
over Mr. Ward's refusal to "touch the ground"
; l i it. l l y i i w.,., " Aitnor irirn n c
, uciore me. "pruuiei ui me cuh, uimi-i ".
head or kuecs.
ed :
The last expedient is thus descib-
The Chinese Commissioners were obliged to go
out twelve mile to summer residence of Yuenming-
yuen to report to His Majesiy, who was pasing the
hut weather there, and no reply was exr.e.'tea irom
them tiil the 4th; but the next morning tho judge,
with a countenance anything but joyful, unexpec
tedly appeard. He had come from the summer
palace, w here he and the commissioners had been
all ti i
ight with a plan which he thought would sue- !
This was hat they should address Mr. Ward
ced. in is was iiiat tnev
a letter, stating that the Emperor intended to ho
nor him with an audience to receive tne j'resiaent
letter; he should then reply that he was willing, in
1IUUVI ' " ' J' J .
same manner that he would before the 1 resident,
neither diminishing or adding there to. There
was, of course, no objection to this procedure, and
the drafts of both documents were made out, and
the Judge took eopies away with him. The detail
of the expedient to be observed was also explained
which was, that when the Minister came towards
the thinc, the table on which the President's let
ter was to be placed standing between the two, he
should how as low as he had represented, and then
two chamberlains, would approach and raise him
up, with the exclamation, "Don't kneel!" He
would then present the letter by placing it on the
table, from whence it would be taken by another
chamberlain, who, on his knees, would hand it to
the Emperor.
The Judge went away with a Happier visage than
he eanie, and the next dispatch from Kwelliang
was looked for with impatience. Instead of the
expected document, Sieh himself returned next
merning to tell us the Commissioners had been
out-voted; and his Majesty's decision was that un
less the American Minister would either touch one
knee or his finger to the ground, he would not see
him. "While this concession was refused, as being
much more than an American representative ever
performed his own or any other ruler, it was again
declared that in this persistence in our own usages
there was no disrepect intended to the Emperor,
who must of course be the final Judge of what he
deemed suitable to his dignity. The question of
an audience was thus settled, so far as the Ameri
can embassy was interested, after five days' earnest
discussion. Puring the whole of it the Chinese
Commissioners made use of nothing but fair argu
ment. Tbey never even alluded to the helpless
position of twenty foreigners as a reason for their
complying with a ceremony, which seemed to them
doubtless the extreme of liberality. Tt is impossi
ble to decide the question satisfactorily, but the
final obstacle to the audience seem? to have been
the conviction in the minds of the Chinese that
Mr. Ward would not do what was really done at
European courts, and what they declared the Eng
lish Minister had promised last year he would do,
viz: perform the same ceremony before the Em
peror which he would before the Queen. The
Judge remarked at once that he was certain that the
United States Minister had come to an un
derstanding at Tientsin last year respecting the
proper ceremony at an audience, but he was assured
that Mr. Reed had never come to an agreement on
the subject with anybody. Tt is unfair to the
Chinese, in reporting this discussion, to take up
the idea that they were insincere .or dogmatic in
all their assertions, and had no scruple in what
thev said; for in theis position erroneous ideas
might easily be firmly believed, and it was known
to us that Lord Amherst did agree to kneel before
the Emperor as he did before his King; but neither
we nor the Chinese alluded to that embassy.

CRAMPS.
These most terrible of pains, says Hall's Journal
of Health, arise from the veins being so full of blood
that they swell out, press against the large nerves
and thus impede circulation of the vital fluid. In
smaller nerves the distention produces neuralgia,
which is literally '-nerve ache." The cause of this
unusual fullness of the veins is that the blood is so
impure, so thick, so full of disease, that it cannot
flow by nature's ordinary ageucics. In proportion
as it is thick, it is cold, and this abnormal tate is
indicated by feebleness of the pulse. Jn cholera
patients it is very marked, and existed days and
weeks before the attack. The following simple
method of treatment is given :
When a person is attacked with cramp get some
hot water quickly and expeditiously (for noise and
exclamation of grief and alarm still further dis
turbs the nervous equilibrium, ) put the sufferer in
the water as completely as possible, and thus heat
is imparted to the blood, which sends it coursing
along the veins, and the pain is gone. While the
water is in preparation, rub the cramped part very
briskly with the hand or a woolen flannel, with
your mouth shut. But why keep the mouth shut?
You can rub harder, Lister, and more efficiently;

LETTER PROM NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Farmington, N. II , Nov. 21st, '59.
Hon. Henry A. Wise: As you are personally
an eotirc stranger to uie. you may think I am
rather impudent and familiar iu addressing you iu
the manner that I choose to at the present time.
Hut tho only excuse I have to make is that in a
pemsual of the New York Weekly ' Tribune,"
bearing date of November 19tU l."!), my cyo
rested on the following in famous and threatening
letter, purporting to have been quoted from a
Virginiu print by tho "Tribune." Namely:
"Clerk of the Court of Charlestown, Va."
"Sir: You hrd1ettcr caution your authorities
to he careful about what they do with wwattomie
Brown. So sure as you hurt one huir of his head
mark mv word, the following day you will seo
. i 1 1 a . t A i i

' Wf e e detennmed to
put slavery aown at nn wius, ion-ioiy it it mum,
peacefully if it can. iSclieve me
lielieve me when I tell you
the end is not yet; by a lnrtg odds. All of us at
the North sympathize w'th th martyrs of Harper'
Ferry."
These treasonable and scandalon lines wcr
post market New York city. Now. sir, my object
in detailing this letter to you, ar:d adding another
from myself, is to convince you that in regard to
the statement that we, all of us at the North,
sympathizes with the Harper's Ferry traitors,
murderers and horse-thieves, is, as far as the
majority of the N'orth are concerned, a contemptible
and notorious lie. On tho contrary, tho universal
opinion in this section of the Union, with perhaps
the exception of a few abolition fanatics is, that
the traitors and conspirators against the peace of
our common country, richly merit the doom in
prospect for them. As for myself, 1 am not a
blood thirsty-man, neither do I I hirst for the
blood of old lirown ft Co.; nor yet do 1 beHeT
that, you and your broth r Virginians do, as rank
abolitionists would have me believe. But reason,
that indicator of justice, teaches mc that if it was
not for the examples made of desperate criminals,
and the awful warning given by their execution
when their crimes are capital, and when their aim
in life is to subvert the laws of their country I
say if examples are not made of such criminals,
government and law would soon cease to exist, and
desperadoes, villians and robbers like Brown Si Co,
would run rampant throughout the countn', North
as well as South, seeking whom they might butcher
and rob to gain their own selfish ends, which is,,
iu my humble opinion, to rule this country or
to ruin it, They had rather reign in Hell than
serve in Heaven. And in my opinion, and T daro
assert that it is the opinion of the majority of
New Hampshire, that the future peace an I quiet
not only of Virginia, but of this I'nion, demnnds
that an example should be made of these bold and
desperate men who sought to deprive not only
Virginia, but the whole South, of her constitutional
rights, and plunge this country into all tho horrors
of civil war, bloodshed and anarch;,' probably the
annihilation of this glorious republic. 1 am no
lover of the institution of slavery cither as it exists
at the South, in the enslavement, of tho ,hiek
negro, or as it exists at the North in tho oppression
of the Anglo-Saxon white operatives and employers
of Abolition monopolist manufacturers, whoso
condition is worse, in many instances, than tho
negro slaves. But I am digressing from my
subject in this letter, and to resume. New
Hampshire we all know, tolerated the institution of
slavery in her midst, and abolished it when aha
saw tit to by the free will of her own people. And
I am perfectly willing to let the South enjoy tho
same constitutional right that New Hampshire And
old Abolition Massachusetts did in rpgard to
protecting or abolishing the institution of slayery.
And .if the Abolition fanatics of the North will
not let the South enjoy the same rights, under tho
Constitution that our fore-fathers did, they can he
forced to at the cannon's -mouth; as in tiie easo of
the rendition of the fugitivefclave Burns from their
grasp a few years since.
Let them threaten, aud if tbey dare attack tho
South on the execution of Brown., and mark ray
word, they will not have the South alone to tight
as tbey seem to think would he the case, for there
are thousands of good law-abiding Democrats North
of Mason V, Bixci's line who are ready at the first
signal or word of command from, the commander-in-chief
of this Bepublic to rally South und pour
as hot a tire in the rear of traitors and incendiaries
as they will meet v.ith in fopt from Southern
patriots
But I have written enough to conduce you that
the South has friends rs - c'l :s U lew fanatical
enemies at the North. This letter is at your
disposal, either for pubbc cr pj hate use, as it
contains no assertions but vnat can be easily
substantiated.

Adopting the words of the Ualcigh Kegistcr. w
say that, in the event of the dissolution of tho
Union, one of tho first act.- of tho Southern
Confederacy would be the conclusion of a treaty
with Great Britain, which would stipulate for the
admission into oar ports of British .shipping, free
of any tonnage duty; aud the admission of British
manufactured articles at a nominal or very low
duty. Along with thw treaty, we should impose
very high, n not prohibitory duties ou Northern
; tonnage and Northern manufactures. Tho effect
' of all thift would be to injure, if not destroy, tho
i Northern commercial and manufacturing interest,
or, in other words, beggar the North, and leave it
! to live on fanaticism and philanthropy, instead of
; fattening, as now, upon the Southern labor, upon
which it is warring. Great Britain has been
! searching the earth in rain to get a supply of'
cotton independent of us. I ndcr such a treaty as
we speak of, she would get our cotton, and the
supply of our demand for manufacture, and, smarter
than the "cute" Yankees, would he content to let
coffee remain in the sphere intended for him bj
his Maker.
