The ultimate consequences of a dissolation of the Union are merely matters of conjecture, at best, and will never be certainly known unless such # deplorable event should actually oceur. That it would be more or less injurious to the industrial interests of every section, and benefit none, is admitted by every person who calmly reflects upon the present agitation throughout . e-. the country. It has frequently been said, . for perpetual injunction on part of plaintiffs, and reiterated over and over again, that) the secession of the cotton States would produce immediate and terrible disasters in the manufacturing districts of the North. But the facte do not sustain this supposition. In consequence of the conflicting statements we canoot arrive at acorrect conclusion as to the extent of injary to manufacturers; but it is evident that the secession agitation has thus far beea mainly felt by the monied and trading classes, while as yet it bas scarcely reached the laboring people at the North. On this subject, the Boston correspondent of the Union says: The commereial difficulties of the crisis bear hard upon the prosperity of all classes in this section. Thousands of meehanics and operatives have been thrown out of employment during the last month, andthe worst is apparently yet to come. Some of our large manufactories have suspended operations, and _nearly all the others are running on half-time. Stocks and real estate have gone down to an alarming rate of depreciation, and are still approximating a “lower deep.” In relation to the same matter, the Washington correspondent of the Bulletio says: Northern manufacturers are not all alarmed by the threatened non-intercourse laws of the cotton States. The evidences are already abundant that they do not err in scouting the power of any section to reverse the inexorable laws of trade, Instead of being unable to buy their raw cotton, since the planters resolved to hold it back, they are now —— all they want for their winter’s use through their southern brokers, at rates two cents per pound lower than they could get it thirty days ago, Fyrom this fact it results, that New England cotton factories, which, rior to the panic, in consequence of the high price of cotton, were about to suspend operations for a season, have determined to keep on all winter, working on full time, because they can get cotton cheap! The statements of these correspondents it will be observed, are diametrically opposite, and we can only account for the difference by supposing that one was anxious to make the effects of the secession troubles appear in the most unfavorable light, aud the other in the best. The manufacturing intepests bave undoubtedly been injuriously affected, in commen with every other industrial pursuit, but not to the extent stated by the Union’s correspondent, It is estimated that one-twentieth of the goods manufactured in New England are consumed in the South, and even a temporary eceseation of orders . for these goods would of necessity throw out of employment quite a number of operatives, who would be compelled to seek employment ia other avocations, The most marked effect of the agitation in the South isthe great reduction in the price of negroes—amounting, according to estimates of Southern papers, to nearly onehalf. The secession from the Union of a portion, or all, of the slave-bolding States would be the most disastrous blow to the institution of slavery that could possibly be inflicted. Slave owners and monied men are well aware of this; bence the decline in this species of property. Should the Conventions soon to be held in the gulf States decide against secession, slave property will immediately go up to nearly its value before the election; but if they decide in favor of secession there will be a still further decline, and by the time they fairly get out of the Union niggers will beso cheap that even the poorer and more ignorant classes at the South will cease to clamor for avy more importation of the original stock from Africa. Dearn ny A Snow Siipu.—The Hydraulic Press learns that Albert Tabor was crushed to death by a snow-slide in the Urisko minin district, on Thursday, 27th ult, while engag in repairing a ditch, Deceased was a native of Kennebec county, Maine, and aged about thirty-five years.

Adjourned till Monday next, at 10 o'clock, A.M, Consumption or New Exaiaxp Goops IN THe Souru.—The threatened interruption of . trade between the sections has caused inquiries to be instituted as to the consumption of goods of Northern manufacture at the South, On this subject the Boston Transcript says: The consumption at the South of the textile fabrics manufactured in New England, we find . by inquiries among those best informed on the subject, is not so lange as is generally supposed. Some of the most extensive manufacturers here estimate the call for their goods south of Baltimore and St. Louis to be only about five so cent. of the whole production of their mills. The South now manufactures nearly all the heavy brown cotton goods it needs, so that there is . only a slight demand for sheetings, shirtings, . &c., from the slave States. The South buys . blue goods and negro clothes here, but not, we . are informed, to such an extent as is generally supposed. American prints are much worn by . Southern ladies, and hence they are consumed at the South to a larger extent than any other textile fabric made at the North. One of the . commission houses of this city, whose annual sales of textile fabrics exceed five millions of dollars, have this week found upon examination that leas than two per cent. of their bills . receivable were due from merchants south of . Maryland and Missouri. Horrisir Mcrper in Texas.—The Nebeta (Texas) Chronicle has an acoount of a horrible affair which recently took place in Hardin county, Texas. There were two fami. lies, of the names of Mooney and Wilburn re— in Nacogdoches, county, between which there was a most bitter feud, A short time since the Mooneys moved to Con. eord, Hardin county. Lately Wilburn, with . his three sons, heavily armed went down to Concord, Finding Mooney in a store, they shot him, wounding him badl y. Mooney then fled to his house. The Wilburns’ followed him, and found him lying on the floor weltering in his blood, and his head supported by his little daughter. Here they again shot him several times, and beat his lifeless body with their pistols and clubs, and the poor wife pleading for mercy at the assassins’ hands, was stricken down and most shamefully abused. The citizens being by this time aroused, surrounded the Wilburns, and after a conflict, in which parties on both sides were wounded, they took them prisoners, and placed them under a strong guard for the night. In the morning the four were found hanging each on a separate tree,.some distance from: town, MARRIED. At Little York, Jan, Ist, by Rev. T. H. McGrath, yw FREDERICK BURCKHALTER and Miss MoLums k.

Adjourned till Monday next, at 10 o'clock, A.M, Consumption or New Exaiaxp Goops IN THe Souru.—The threatened interruption of . trade between the sections has caused inquiries to be instituted as to the consumption of goods of Northern manufacture at the South, On this subject the Boston Transcript says: The consumption at the South of the textile fabrics manufactured in New England, we find . by inquiries among those best informed on the subject, is not so lange as is generally supposed. Some of the most extensive manufacturers here estimate the call for their goods south of Baltimore and St. Louis to be only about five so cent. of the whole production of their mills. The South now manufactures nearly all the heavy brown cotton goods it needs, so that there is . only a slight demand for sheetings, shirtings, . &c., from the slave States. The South buys . blue goods and negro clothes here, but not, we . are informed, to such an extent as is generally supposed. American prints are much worn by . Southern ladies, and hence they are consumed at the South to a larger extent than any other textile fabric made at the North. One of the . commission houses of this city, whose annual sales of textile fabrics exceed five millions of dollars, have this week found upon examination that leas than two per cent. of their bills . receivable were due from merchants south of . Maryland and Missouri. Horrisir Mcrper in Texas.—The Nebeta (Texas) Chronicle has an acoount of a horrible affair which recently took place in Hardin county, Texas. There were two fami. lies, of the names of Mooney and Wilburn re— in Nacogdoches, county, between

which there was a most bitter feud, A short time since the Mooneys moved to Con. eord, Hardin county. Lately Wilburn, with . his three sons, heavily armed went down to Concord, Finding Mooney in a store, they shot him, wounding him badl y. Mooney then fled to his house. The Wilburns’ followed him, and found him lying on the floor weltering in his blood, and his head supported by his little daughter. Here they again shot him several times, and beat his lifeless body with their pistols and clubs, and the poor wife pleading for mercy at the assassins’ hands, was stricken down and most shamefully abused. The citizens being by this time aroused, surrounded the Wilburns, and after a conflict, in which parties on both sides were wounded, they took them prisoners, and placed them under a strong guard for the night. In the morning the four were found hanging each on a separate tree,.some distance from: town, MARRIED. At Little York, Jan, Ist, by Rev. T. H. McGrath, yw FREDERICK BURCKHALTER and Miss MoLums k.
