We refer to the current efforts of such parties to black mail northern business houses by publishing or getting up for private exhibition alleged lists of abolition busi- ness houses on the one hand, and anti-abolition business houses on the other, at the North. Those who know the tricks of trade are well aware that in imost such cases a fee will cause the insertion of the name or card of any house pretty mach Where its conductors or others please, in such Lists; and that therefore no earthly depeudence is to be piaced upon them. We regard such transactions, one and all, as being akin to knavery; and at the South, those who put their trust In them, will in the end write themselves down as hetug akin to fools. The proper medicine is already working well indeed. That medicine is southern determin- ation to use as little as possible in the way of goods, waresand merchandise manufactured in any non- slaveho!ding State. Under our repeated immediate observation there is a case in point that forcil:ly illustrates how it is working. We referto the altered conditiot of trade ata village of Virginia near which we re- side. That village, of 1,L00 or 1,200 souls, is the business point for Culpeper and Rappahannock counties, Wa.. for much of Mzdison county, and small portions of Fauquier and Orange counties Now it is already becoming evident that though the aggregate value of the goods sold by its merchants is steadily and heavily increasing, the aggregate of northern made goods and wares sold there is falling off; perhaps to the extent of fifty thousand dollars per annum. Thus Virginia and Maryland-made cloths, cassimeres, cotton domes- thes, &c . are coming rapidly in demand there: to so great an extent: 8 that the neighboring woolen mills are unable to supply half the demand upon them; und the farmers are accustoming theinselves to do without many articles that were net long since regarded as being almost {udispensable, as yet only obtainable of northern manuiacture. Now. if in a village of a thousand souls, the existing state of political afftirs decrease the sale of northern manufactures $50.10 per annum.what will be the ration of that decrease throughout the whole South—the cause of the decrease being every where in the South as operative as there? Surely the aggregate cannot be less than fifty mil- liens of dollars. The sulus to southern manufacturing which this stete of things Lasso soon genersted in the Virginia and Maryland woolen and cotton goods, and shoe trade, must inevitably soon show iteelfin the increased production of other necessary wares at home. On all bands in the rezion of Virginia of which we write above, preparations to meet the new state of things are being made in the way of manufacturing varieties of articles ina small way. ‘That is, by the employment of little cxpital and few Lands—in half manufacturing aud balf me- chauical shops. Southern commercial independeuce has thus re- ceived au impetus which bids fair to beuetit tue South pecuniarily beyond present calculation, and to cure abolition by, literally. starving it to death—by making the millions who toil at the North. comprehend that their worst euemies those fa their own midst whose social, relig and political teachings force the South to cease consiin;, northern made fabrics and w nufactare for themselves, instead. and ‘The Spsanersiir.—We repeat, to-day, our be- lief expressed a day or two since, that ina few days the House will be organized by a union of all its conservative elements against Helperism We adopt the impression froin conversation with gentlemen identified with each of the three divis- ious into which the conservatives of the body are Givided. ‘The vote taken yesterday exhibits no evidence of this fact, or rather state of things, it ts true.

He quoted a number of extracts from the speeches of southern men, in order to show that they were disunionists Mr. Ciingman said that a man inerder to hold office in Massachusetts must swear to support the Constitution of the United States; and yet if he executes the fuyitive-slave law Le is punishable by statute.

Frbo a sald to be a rival of Chas. W. Hunt- ington, Monroe ind Jobn Sadler. His name is Ross. and the charge against him is the fe of paper on various banks in Philadel- phia, fo the extent of $10,000. The Press says: Externally Ross is a tleman rather stout in son, dress ng with exquisite taste, wearing a andsome pair of whiskers, on a very handsome face, and possessing all those accomplishments 80 necessary in the yentleman. He is highly edu- cated. hes traveled over Europe. served {n the allied army before Sebastopol, where he was wounded, and converses fluently in English, French, Spanish, and Ituian His wife is a young lady of rare and extraordinary beauty, highly hed, and possessed of a ine mind.

Ross was accompanied in his travels, by a negro slave purchased by him at New Or- leans, but who was more of 2 companion than servant to him. A Sap Case or Domestic INFIDELITY.—\ New Orleans cerrespondent says—+A most unhappy domestic drama is about to be brought before one of our Courts, and will of coutse be ventilated by the city press for the benefit of the public at late A young lidy, who had lived almost from child- hood in the family of an elder sister, was united in marriage 2 few months ago to a young man of this city. , it serins, before the honeymoon bezan to wane, found reason to suspect a criminal intimacy between the bride and her brother-in- law. Investigation convinced him of the fact, and a well directed accusation and cross-exami- nation extorted from his wife a confession to the effect that an illicit connection had existed be- tween them for a long time, such scandalous par- ticulars being detailed as left no room to doubt her statements. In consequence the husband has filed a petition for divorce; so also has the wife of the leading villain in the drama, and the latter has been expelled from an ancient and honorable Order of which he was a member—not the Order of the Sons of Malta, I believe. As the parties to this deplorable bu: all hitherto held re- apectable positi be publicity which the process of inevitably give to the af- fair will undoubtediy exc te much talk and atten- tion. A Wie RATING CLERGYMAN.—At a prelimi- nary examination of a Rev.

[t seems that Mrs. P., being suspicions of her slaves from soine cause, required one of the negroes’ children to be placed and remain in ber room over night. On Wednesday night last the child, as usual, was wrapped upand lafd in its bed in the room. On Thursday morning, however, when_ the little fel- low was uncovered, loand behold! there lay a rag baby, buedled' up vety nicely. —Frederick (42.)
