throura their Urritory, by means of their railroads
and men, to the United States beyond; but as
vaqussllonabry U United bUUs wouw collect
, thetr owa duUen likswise, along their own iron-
tiers, the double duties would soon" deprive them
thla source of revenue. Their railroad and
rivers would be decried of a large amount of in
trade which they have hitherto enjoyed from
" North CercJiae,-Tennessee, Kentucky nad other
Statea, whieh would pass to Wilmington, Ztorfbllr,
Baltimore and other United Sates ports.
As a revenue measure they have already laid
an Kinort dutt ofJ of a cent per pound on cotton,
.Wb ther irooose to Increase to one cent, J"be
ibct of this will be to increase the cost of cotton,
one cent a pound, and wilt yield a revenue of foer
' teen millions of dollars only. This necessarily

proowoer. If it comes out of the praJucer, then
H is a bonus to the planters of North Carolina, and
Tea aemee and Arkansas fwhoteing in the United
States. wMI have no export duty,) of one cent
rr round on every bale 'of cotton they can
. raise or aend to market Tf, oa the other
hand, it falls oa the consumer, thon the New
England manufacturers using the Tennessee and
Arkansas cotton will have a protective duty as
'. r gainst the Etgtisb of a cent a pound on the raw
cotton in the market of the world. It ' will be
sufficient to give New Kngiand the control of the
China market, to which she already sends goods
in cons petit! on with Great Britain to the extent of
. aftee&militons-of dollars. it mill act as a oonus
oa the production of cotton all over the world.
In ln0 the supplies of cotton, ram other sour
ce thaa Amatka was about one million of bales.
A bonus fa cent a pound on tail would benearry
four millions of dollars a very pretty inducement
to stimulate the growla ot cotton euewhere, and
load growers to increase their quantity and engage
'in new enterprises for its production, until gradu
alry the almost monopoly of pie market will be
liat to the Con federate Suter.i It mustbefvident
to everybody than an export duty on cotton, add
ed to heavy taxation, will drive the producers of
. cotton in the Conlederaia states to seek; other
homes and other congenial soils on which to be-
stow their labor. J! ex ieo, Nicaragua and Central
America, where labor is chsep and soil and climate
suitable, would epon be peopled with emigrants
from the Con federate blate-; whue they, impov
embed and weakened by taxation and the loss of
populeboa, will become as a cypher among the
naacM of the world, and will see the control and
protection of the new colonies the new gardens

"But it is not on ly staipiationof manufactures which
has caused this extreme depression. - There is a
deeper and mora lasting cause.
About fifteen millions of dollars are laid out
each month in Liverpool In baying; up the stock

. lishing the Union, withholding and not growing
' the cotton, the seizure of Government property,
' the appropriation of Government funds in the
Mint, the expected state of con fusion , anarchy and
. civil war, have seriously affected the minds of
foreign manufacturers and cotton brokers, as to
the reliance they may place oa a supply from
Aswan la future. Ia -consequence, they are
straining every nerve to ensure xuture supplies
from elsewhere. In doing this they have, in Jan
uary and February, withdrawn fiiteen millions
of dollars or thereabouts of the capital usually in
vested in the stock of cotton, and have remited it

INDIAN CHASE A PTES A MAIL COACH

a chase after a mail cnach: " r .
The fact that the Indians bad but three .horses.
and were entirely destitute of fire arms, was the
only thing that prevented the stage from being
cut off and tbe inmates massacred. The Indians,
to tbe number of seventy, were discovered ap-

ltb the evident intention of getting ahead of the
stage. The driver crowded the mules to their al
most, and succeed ad in. making such rapid head
way as to avoid an attack from tbe whole party
at once. Not more than twenty Indians aucced-
cd in reaching the stage at the same time, and for
most of the wsy the attack was kept on by only
from nine to twelve. Tbey would come up, three

This running fight was kept un for more than
nine miles, and the Indians succeeded twic
stopping the stage, and ran it out of the road sev
ersl times. They wounded the side driver in the
thigh with an arrow, but not Seriously, and also
one of the mules in the head. There ' were live
men in the tUge three passenger, the conductor

tnere was only one gun among the party. They
kept up a constant fire while tbe Indians were in
range, and are confident they killed three, besides
wounding many more. y

In the yirginia SUle Convention on Saturday,
Mr. Goggin, of Bedford, offered an ordinance (as
an amendment to the report of the Committee on
FederalUelationsj proposing to withdraw Virgin
ia from the Union. It commence with a pream
ble reciting summarily the grievances under which
he fancies the Bute is laboring-, which is followed
by a series of resolutions, the first of. which de
clares that the State of Virginia " is no fcnger one
of the Union of States known as the U nited States
of -America, and lhat the people of tbe said State
owe no allegiance 'or duty to any otherGovern
rnent whatever." .Th second declares that the
people of Virginia " do resume air. the rights of

And without determining at this' time wheth
er the State of Virginia will unite herself with
any other State or association of States in any
common Government, this Convention doth res
pectfully and earnestly request tbet the 6tates of
North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland,
Missouri, Arkansas and Delaware will, as soon as
possible, appoint Commissioners to meet Commis
sioners to be appointed by this Convention, In the
city of Lexington, in the State of Kentucky, on
the last Wednesday ; in- May next, to confer to

Government to be farmed by tbe said States, Vir
ginia inclusive, and the Confederate States of
America. ' Such plan of Government, however,
to have no binding authority till the same shall be
adopted and -ratified by this Convention. And
for the better accomplishment of the objects in
tended, the said Confederate States of America
are also respectfully requested to send three Com
missiooers to the Conference herein proposed
who shall be invited, at such time as may be agree
able to them, to address tbe same. That each of
the Statee hereinbefore named shall be entitled to
as many votes as it bad Representative and Sen

proposed.' Thai the Commissioners to be appoint
ed by this Convention shall make report to the

terms the right of property in slaves ; by guarau
ties ia regard to slavery in Ibe District of Cohim
bia,tbe forts, dock-yards, o.; so as to protect
slaves against excessive taiation ; and in regard to
the rendition of fugitive slaves, the transit' of
slaves, and the protection of that species of prop
erty in the common Territories ; and also for the
better security of the judiciary, and for pro
taction against unjust Uxation in the form of ex
cessive imposts on foreign importations.

Convention to forward copies of this ordinance to
tbe Governors of each of the Stales, and to the
Presidents of the United States and of the " Con

The eighth suspends the operation of the second
clause of tbe ordinance, till such time as the Con
vention may deem proper to enforce the same.
Mr. Holliday presented a series of Union reso
lutions, enveloped in an American fag, and nu
merously signed by citizens of Norfolk county.
Mr. Burley, of Marshall, offered a series of
resolutions, declaring that M nullification and se
cession are both fallacies and heresies, and, in the
language ot Mr. Madison, 1 both spring from the
same poisonous, root f " that the forts, arsenals,
arms, custom "houses, post offices, &c, within the
States belong to the United States, and that the
people of the Slates have no right lei seize upon
them ; but that as an' attempt to retake such as
have been seized would necessarily produce a col
lision, the Federal Government is earnestly re
quested to refrain from any act which would have
such a tendency. .The last resolution of tbe series
offered by Mr. Burley is very pointed in it refer
ence to tbe secession proclivities of the Eastern
portion of the State, and we give It entire : i -.

recognized, can be exercised as well by a portion

of a Bute against their Federal Government, and
when the powers of a State Government are used
for purposes of unjust discrimination against a
portion of the citizens, or a particular section of
tbe State, in imposing upon one portion or section
an undue proportion of tbe burdens of the Stale
Government, and ia exempting from taxation a
peculiar species of property, belonging to a great
extent to another portion of the citizens, and lo
cated mostly in another section of the State, thus
increasing taxation upon all other interests, in or
der to favor a ".peculiar interest," the people thus
oppressed, after Laving exhausted all constitutional
efforts to obtainvredreas, would be Justified in re
sisting tbe collection of all - revenue; from them,
until the injustice aforesaid was removed. And

A Monetary Panic Predicted. . , , .
. I Loi'i)ON,Febr23jl861.
Panic mongers have enough to feed upon now,
to last a month, let times go never so smootn
The consternation, which is described as tremen
dous in Paris, has extended to London, and many.
here are predicting a monetary crisis, if one or
two more straws are piled upon the camel's back
Tbe fall of poor Mires is a fearful ' crash.' The
account of the failure ia currently sUted; at 600,'
000.000 francs, or $1 20,000,000. .The Pa.iis Bank
ing Houses Marcuard & Co., and Ernest Andre,
bave suspended, and the Credit Mobilier and Par-
reier, the great politician and negotiator, are Said to
be on the brink of insolvency. . Abe entire capital
the Uredit aLobiuttr is said to be swallowed up,
and Tbe directors - are to be prosecuted. Ru
mors say three Ministers are... com promised; most
seriously Mornyl Rouber and Magne. General
Fleury, too, is among the delinquents. Tbe
Princess Demidoff Mathilde, the cousin bf the
Emperor is in the vortex, a check of fiOO.OOOf.

chinery were ail insufficient to open tbe purse
strings of the people who wanted to make invest

. The Paris correspondent of the London, Times,
writing on Ihe 18th, says: M. Mires was arrested
at nine o'clock last night on various charges. He
is in custody at Means. It is rumored that seve
ral persons of standing are more or less implicated
in the affair, and that disclosuies as well as serious
consequences to individuals are likely to, follow,

the true and loyal yeomanry of tbe State are
not at all afraid of Old Abe, and "bare little or
nothing 'for Old Abe's movements. They 'are con
scious of their power to Uke -care of andj defend
themselves, under any and all circumstances, and
hence they, are too self-reliant, too proud, too
manly, to go off into hysterica and Uke to their
heels, after tbe manner of the PrecipiUtion lead
ers, because of the transfer of a few soldiers from
one point to another.- Virginia and .Virginians
are both brave and invincible, and laugh at the
ridiculous and miserable ahd cowardly idea, that
tbey stand in any danger of being subjugated, or
can be subjugated by any man or set of men on

steamer Australasian is now twenty-four days out
from Queenstown,' arid soma anxiety is beginning
to be felt for. bar safety. . This ship left Liverpool
on her appointed day, the 16th of February, and
went into Queenstown on the 17th, and sailed the
tame evening for New York; c She had on freight
about $55,000 in specie, but we are unable to give
even an estimate of the number of persons on her
passengei list and consequently a Urge number of
persons in this country who have friends who
intended sailing last month tor the United States
r unable to tell in what vessel they embarked,
and they are daily : growing uneasy in regard to
their safety. Many suppose that her machinery
bss beea injured and that ehe has put; back for
repairs , as it is- scarcely probable -that she woud
attempt a western, passage at this season of the
year, ander -sail alone,' when she would have a
fair wind to return with. It ia to be hoped that
such is the ease; -but on: the other' hand,' many
contend that, should the ship have bees crippled in
her machinery during' the prevalence of: a heavy
Atlantic gale, whose force would prevent her
keeping sail on the; vessel, she would fall; into the
trough of the sea, and almost ineviUbly swamp
ana go aown.

i..The8ecresy of the pew Administration! would
seem to put the telegraphic correspondents of the
press at fault'- For instance it is announced
that the Southern. Commissioners .will jbe re
ceived; next follows a despatch that :Mr. Sew
ard declines an interview; and lastlyr it is pos
itively asserted that a demand for an interview
is made, and time for consideration by the T3ov
ernment tt asked Neverthelc8r' in Bplte of the"
apparent contradiction, all these reports are true;
Mr. Seward did. intimate not only his willing
ness, but his anxiety to give an audience to the
Commissioners from the "Confederated States."
With thU intimation, Messrs Crawford and
Forsyth, remained quiet, awaiting for a partial
abatement of the fearful pressure which, is being
made upon the Administration for office. ? They
were, then, not a little Surprised oh Wednesday
morning at the reception of a note from Secreta
ry Seward,, declining altogether the proposed interview,-
from, "niotives of high public consider
ation. This fact was duly announced exclw
sively in the columns of the Arnerica.nl and the
note forwarded to , President Davis. -The Com -missioners
immediately addressed a note toMr.
Seward, demandine peremptorily to be heard,
and saying a messepger would call the following
day (yesterday) fof an answer. A messenger
didcau. but Mr. Seward's response was not ready,
as he asked time for the proper consideration of
a question ot such grave importance. 'Anus mat

In regard to Mr. Crittenden's nomination to

evacuation ot Fort Sumter, as ' I am reliably in

Etfkct of Mb. Lixcoln's Fkacx Programme.
The Lynchburg "Virginian- t'lus recftes the hap
py effect of Mr. Lincoln's conciliatory policy upon
the temper of that community : i
Our citizens were terribly excited last week
upon the first announcement of "Old Abe's", in
augural, and believing tbat the eld lei low bad
thrown down the gauntlet, were for instant seces
sion and fight : But, ; we are happy to say, that
the sober second thought has assumed sway, and
the development of the peace policy of the Ad
ministration has disarmed our people of much of
their resentment. We are .not any more iiiack
Republican than formerly, but our old love for the
tt i . a . !n: i
union nas revivea, ana we ne no. wwiidk w give
it up without further effort to save it a his, we
we presume, is but a '.fair sample of the feeling
everywhere, and should convince the Adminis
tration of the importance ot pursuing a peaceiui
and conciliatory policy. In no other way can it
preserve what remains oi tne ooumern oiaies,
much less restore those that- are gone. ryVe are
assured tbat some of those persons who signed a
petition, to our delegates jn; tbe uonveuuou, urgr
ing tnem to VOie ior; lmmeuiave ewcootuM, u'o

From tbe Columbia correspondence of the Savan
nah Republican we take the following paragraphs :
Tbe principal, topic of conversation here just
now is tbe Stringency of tbe times, which teenies
to have reached its culminating point in the sns-
pension of work on ' the State House. This evil,
for some time apprehended, took place yesterday
evenins:, all the remaining hands in the. employ
of the State having been discharged, : The bonds i
authorized by the .Legislature for the purpose of
continuing tne construction or tnis building can
not be soldi and so the work is suspended, i - .,
But the State House is not the only interest tbat
bas suffered from the times. The foundaries.
machine shorts and nrintine- offices are workinir a
smaller camber bi hands tnan usual, and the rail
roads are cutting down expenses. The Greenville
road has reduced the salaries of all its employees,
and the Charlotte road has discontinued the night
express train, and put its five, passengers conduc
tors on reduced pay, running one trip a week each,,
besides reducing all the" salaries, from the Presi
dent down.i -1 have not yet beard one syllable of
complaint irom tnose wnose pay nas been; reduc
