The effect of the anti slavery agitation at the North is not manifested in loud taiking or public meetings by the people of this State. North Carolina is naturally conserva Mive, ald a strong Union loving State, but rest assured when the time for action arrives she will not be foun’ wanting in fidelity to the honor and welfare of her people Me feeling among the people, however, is one of intease Spdignation at the outrages perpetrated upon the South, and especially upon Virginia, The relations—gocial, potitical snd commercial—existing between North @arolina and Virginia, are so closely identified that no matter what stand the Old Dominion may take in reference to the anti Blavery agitation, she will be sure to be supported by the People of this State. ict Virginia lead off, and North Ca. Polina will be sure to follow in her wake. If, then, the ‘Legislature now in session at Richmond should pass a non- fmtercourse act, North Carolina would be cne of the first Beates to pass asimilar cnactment. Already thero is a dotided disposition not to patronize New England manu feetares any longer. During the past three months home manufactures have been encouraged to an extent far ex eroding their most sanguine expectations, and it would not ‘be at all surprising if the imports from the North this weason should be reduced from one-fourth to a third. ‘Tee consumers are determined to stint themselves for ® while rather than contribute to the support of abolition. feta in New England. There are some twenty cotton mils in this State, also a large number of @acnerics, flour mille, iron and woollen manufactorics, whieh do a thriving business. How rapidly will the num. Der of manufactories increase if the non-intercourse sys. tem is adopted? Many of the tanneries have recently established shoe houses in connection with their business fad a good article for negroes can be got up for $1 50 per pair. Massachusetts alone seuds about $1,000,000 worth ef aboes into this State annually. The probability now is ‘that next year sho will not be called upon to furnish half that amount. The demand for other articles of New Fug Yand manufacture will decrease in alike ratio, whether ‘there be disunion or not. North Carolina is determined to strike a blow at New England that will be felt, and she is quite able to do it. There never was much love existing Between the people of this State and the Puritan race of New England ; but now acts of unmistakable hostility may Be looked for at any moment. Capitalists, slaveholders and non slayebolders alike, are @eeply interested in the non-intercourse project, and favor M4, om the ground that it would forever put a stop to agita. tion in the North, while at the samo time it would be the means of placing North Carolina in an independent position she never before occupied. With her immenee resources for raising cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat and naval stores, North Carolina hag heretofore Dut little attention to manufacturing. Bat now, when houor and welfare demand that she should ao longer De dependent upon the North for her supply of manufac: tured cots, she will promptly seize the opportunity to make herseif forever independent, a8 far as the ma. wufacture of cotton, woollen, iron and ieather, &c., is con. earned. The organization of military companies for the defence of the State is progressing rapidly. In every littie town and village volunteers are to be found ready to respond to the call of the Governor, should he deem it necessary to eal upon their services. The citizens of Chatham county hoki a meeting afew evenings ago in reference to the muilitary defences of the State, and pissed a series of ro. solutions caling upon the Executive to convene an extra weeeion of the Legislature to provide arms of the best description for the militia. In response to this call, Gov. Ellis wrote a letter, denying the request of the petitioners, im which he took the ground that in the present aspect of affairs it was hardly necessary to put the State to an outlay ef a million dollars or more for the purchase of firearms. Be deemed it important, also, to avoid all such action as would tend to increase the excitement now existing fmmecg the people, and in his opinion such a measure ‘would greatly tend to that result. At the same time he deemed it his duty to say that he should labor agsiduousiy to keep himecif timely advised of public events, and should any occurrence render such @ measure necessary, he would not delay to convene the Legislature and take @uch steps as may be called for by the honor and interest @f the State. There was a double motive in asking tho Governor to call an extra session. The non-interven- Monisis would have taken the opportunity to pass thoir measure as well as the Militia bill, and f rather think, from what conversation Ihave had with public men in ‘this city and other parts of the State, a non-intercourse fact would have been passed had the executive given his eonsent to the call. ‘The kiea so prevalent at the North, that the nov-slave hoWers are disaffected and long for the abolition of sla. ‘Very, is 8 most absurd one.

The deloga fion will act in a spirit of union and conciliation with the delegates from the offer States, with a view to Lenk nee the democratic party, so as to insure the defeat of Master Seward and his confreree. Dickinson and Seymour are also ig cogs of favorably in connection ‘with the Presidency, but as yet there is no decided ahoice.

The irrepressible doo- trine and the Harper’s Ferry affair, together with the almost universal sympathy manifested for John Brown in the Northern States, have created a deep-rooted feeling of antipathy between the people here ana the fanatics at the North, which even time, I am afraid, can never obliterate. The idea that the people here are dependent upon the free States for a supply of manufactured goods and is a great fallacy, and ere the lapse of another year the abolitionists will be made to feel the effects of their foolhardiness and prejudice in the most unmistakable manner. The profits arising from. slave labor in this State annually amount to over $39,000,- 000, while that arising from free labor amounts to only $2,000,000. To abolish slavery in North Carolina would therefore be a most ruinous step. here are dependent upon slavery for the redemption of their notes, while the merchants, mechanics, clerks and eholders are equally dependent upoa the To ask the people to republican party get pos- urself to reflect and remember eving you to be one of the ene, iretes, and slavetraders, whose real ly agree wah mine if we were to talk WHE VIRGINIAN’S REPLY, Sin- The tone of your note of the 271 ect.

They are de- termined to bring the non-intercourse project into play, and maintain it just as long as Massachusetts, Vermont ‘and Wisconsin insist on the nullification of the Fugitive Slave law, They claim that itis but a fair offset for the agercesive acts of the North, and the only means they have of protecting themselves against the repeated as- saulta of the black republicans.

Cotton | and rice, ber chief sources of wealth, cannot be cultivated | by apy other than slave labor. | such as corn, tobacco and wheat, amount to a mere nothing in comparison with cotton and rice. Every man who owns a plantation, no matter how small, devotes himeelf to the production of these staples. Merchants, mechanics and laborers all live upon the product of cotton and rice; so that it is no wonder that the people here should take a bold stand against the attempt made to de- prive them of their greatest source of wealth, To abolish slavery in this State would be to entail ruin and desolation upon a now happy and prosperous peopie. The idea is ab-urd upen its very face, and never can be entertained for a moment even. It is not probable that any of the fashionable watering Places of the North will be much frequented by South- erners this summer.

In my last letter I promised to give you an account of the cotton and woollen mills in operation on the Catawba river, and I now propose to show the people of New Eng- land, and Massachusetts especially ,that they do not supply the entire South with their fabrics. The most noteworthy among the manufactories in this neighborhood is the wool- Jen mill of Messrs. Young & Wreston, at Blaok Rock; over one hundred hands are continually employed in making kerseys and cassimores. The Mountain Island Cotton Factory ef Thomas R. Tate, in the same neighborhood, consumes about 1,000 bales of cotton annually. Mr. Tate = ed building an addition to hig hort od for the purpose of manufacturing woollen goods. J. & B. Stowe have also an extensive cotton mill on the Cataw- ba. Wa. H. Neil’s Catawba cotton mills, situated about a mile from Rowk Island, employ a large number of hands. Messrs. Linebarger & Co. also manufacture cotton goods in the same neighborhood. The Powell mills, on the Catawba, manufacture domestic cotton good: jarge extent. Then there are John McDonaid’s mills, at Concord, and Clark’s mill, in Iredell county, the former goods, and the latter woollen. The flour mill in Charlotte, owned by John Wilkes, a son of Commodore Wilkes, of the United States navy, is an extensive concern. The flour is said to have a great name among confectioners in New York and Roaton. 30,000 pounds are made annually, giving employment to On the outskirts of the town here is an extensive planing mill, and sash, door and window blind factory, owned by J. Rudisill, and various other manufactories too numerous to mention. There are about half a neighborhood of this Ricaxonp, Va., Jan. 25, 1860.

Mr. Charles L. Chapline, a commissioner from a Union meeting held recently in Connecticut, arrived in this city some days ago, and presented to the Governor, aad through him to the Legislature, the proceedings of the ‘aforesaid meeting, accompanied by a letter from himself. Both documents were referred to the Harper's Ferry Joint Committee, and there I feel certain they will be per- mitted to remain. ‘The commissioner, #0 called, does not come vested with any State authority, but merely ag the delegate of a fow individuals who composed the New Haven Union meoting. It is eald even of somo of theee that they are downright republicans; and the motive in sending the commissioner ig suspected to be nothing more than an inducement to Virginia to abandon her non-intercourse projects. The fact is, that all these professions of Union will avail no thing toward perpetuating it until some practical proof of the earnestness of such professions ie given at the ballot box. The sending of commissioners from a North- ern State like Connecticut, which is overwhelmingly black republican is Indeed a very useless task, admitted here that there are many sound, conser- vative men at the North, but they are deemed perfectly powerless for good, inasmuch as the State goveraments ure not in their bamds, and they have no voice through any of the legitimate channels of representation in Con- gress or elsewhere.
