Ubi ri ARY Notice'?.—We have heretofore given notice,
rep ■i:edly, that we charge for obituary notices of un
reasonable length, and for resolutions of respect; be
cause that kind of reading, we have much occasion to
liuow, is not often more agreeable to readers than to
ei;' rs of papers. it generally happens, however,
that at'ter charging and paying postage on the account tor-
warded, we never get paid, we now give notice that we
will insert nothiug of the sort hereafter unless accom-
piniedby ilie cash. (Always excepting in the case of
Jt'ccased volunteets. when we require no pay.) liear
in mind, therefore, that we will insert obituary notices
iud resolution^, not exceeding 7U words, gratis. For all
over To words, one Cent a word, which must be paid be-
r.jre thi- notice will be put in type.

The dissolution of the Union has produced at
the North one ot those financial convulsions which
have become so frequent among that race of spec
ulators; beggaring alike rich and pjor, drying up
the sources of credit, and annihilating all but the
most substantial values. These pecuniary crises
sweep over that section at intervals of ten or fif
teen year.s; and that ot 1857 had broken up 4,257
lirms, owing debts amounting to 82ti5,818,U0U.
It was one of the most destructive pressures that
had ever occurred in the Northern community;
and in the ordinary course of events, would not
have been followed by another for at least ten
years to come. ' But dissolution has brought a
successor close upon its heels; and, although the
harvest of bankruptcy had been reaped and little

While the Northern public has been incurring

have had to suffer by failure of their debtors a
loss of nearly one-third as much more. Truly is
it to be said that the way of tiie transgressor is
hard. The statistics of Northern bankruptcy are
curious enough The number of failures occur

The picture ol individual morals presented by
these figures is a damaging one to the Y’^ankee
character. We hardly suppose that the retro
spect ol' British and Scotch history for tift}^years
would present as large an amount ot bankruptcy
or half the number of failures. We doubt if the
whole history of the South, since she had a busi
ness to conduct, would reveal aggregates approx
imating the failures in the North for the ^ve
years past.
The Yankee is essentially a speculator and ad
venturer. Having, at the outset ot his career,
nothing to lose, he is ready to embark iu any ha
zardous adventure promising fortune in one al
ternative, and threatening nothing in the other
but mortification, a sensation to which he is a
stranger He despi.ses the small beginnings, the
patient toil and frugality, and the honest perse
verance, by which the regular Scotch or English
merchant gradually emerges from poverty to
wealth. He relies upon hi? wits to make his way
in the world, and tries successively every scheme
for grasping emolument which suggests itself to
his ingenuity. If the first scheme fails and
^ blasts liis name in one locality, he turns up with
a new name and anjther device in some other
; quarter remote from the first. Compelled to flee
; his native haunts for theft or deep swindle, he re-
I appears in some remote region, probably in th8
capacity of an itinerant preacher, to renew his
chase of fortuiic, possibly in the brisk pursuit of
an heiress. The Yankee merchant is nothing
more in general than the Yankee adventurer, suc
cessful iu some bold scheme of speculation; and
hence the fact that every financial reverse brings
on so large a crop of Yankee failures.—Exam.
The North avJ the South.—A friend just ro-
tarn d from the North expresses his surprise at
the appearance of cheerfulness and business ac
tivity that prevails everywhere. lie would not i
know that war existed here at all but for occa
sional movements of military stores, and the ap-
pea ance of uniformed men in the streets.
At the North, he says, there is an entirely dif
ferent state of the public mind. There is great
anxiety and serious apprehension evident in the
faccs ot the people. The same people that eight
tnonths since were rampant for war, zealous in
raising money for it a; d calling out lustily for
putting down the rebellion, are now silent and
melancholy. While business is stagnant*and the
streets des»^rtcd, men are dreadfully impressed
with the weight of taxation incurred by the war,
and see no hope of putting down the rebellion.
They are sharp enough to see what amount of in
terest alone is involved in a debtof hundrt'd
millions ppr anmim, some of which is borrowed
at 7 and 7 oO-lOO per cent. They know that the
entire annual revenue of the old Union did not
amount to as much as the interest upon this enor
mous one year’s debt. They see that the North
ern Union can t.ever pay it and pay its current
expenses too; and they are losing faith in the war
and the (jovernment also. The universal Yankee
