Moore, Abbeville C. H. Julius Poppe, Anderson C. H. The Spring Trade-Mischicvou? Ef? fect? of Radicalism. There is a very general opinion abroad that the spring season will not be so prosperous a one for trade as it ought to be; and if all the indica? tions should prove tru?, we will know at whose door to lay the responsibili? ty. The radicals in Congress are keeping the country in a very un? settled condition for their own miser? able purposes. In all stages of a semi-revolutionary state of things in every country, commerce receives a severe check, and we cannot expetit to escape results which are inevitable all over the world. There was good reason to expect that before the spring season opened the business of the country would have settled down into its old channels, that the South would have been reconstructed, its industry partially restored, and that a consequent demand for goods would be created that might justify the cal? culations of merchants in importing largely. But owing to the action of the radical faction in Congress, these expectations are very likely to be de? feated. Had r - obstructions been thrown in the way by the marplots, in theirjrindictive opposition to the President's policy, the South would to-day be in a position to open a trade with New York, and the "North? ern States generally, which would have increased tenfold the trade of this city. But, in the present state of things, and in view of the pro? ceedings in Congress, how does the matter stand? Industry in the South is p.">yalyred. Capitalists are discouraged. The sources of wealth which might have been developed are still dry. Our merchants have imported very exten? sively, basing their operations in a great measure upon the Southern market, and the Southern market is very likely to fail them as long as the Jacobins continue to pursuo their present course. The bonded ware? houses are laden with goods. Bills have to be met on the other side of the Atlantic to pay for these goods in September. How can they be met if i the calculations upon which the pur? chases were predicated are frustrated by a faction in Congress? '.Governor i Orr, of South 'Carolina, stated the j other day that that State was in a fair way of reviving her trade and ! industry, but while certain measures were in' consideration in Congress, i capitalists were holding back, and her progress had received a material check. The same is true of many other Southern States. The cotton, and other plantations along the Mis? sissippi, where Northern enterprise and capital were just .beginning to develop therr.selves most hopefully, are now lying comparatively waste, in consequence of the unsettled state of the country. The radicals have put the times ont of joint. Not only have they placed the political condi? tion of the country in jeopardy, but the financial condition also. The effect of their iniquitous course, is felt upon every interest, and it will perhaps first touch the commercial affairs of this city most severely. The constituents of these men, all over tlie country, may soon find the shoe pinching too tightly to be any longer borne. "Without being alarmists or desiring to suggest a revulsion as at hand, we cannot fail to see very serious embarrassment to the commerce of the country as the result of the con? duct of the Jacobins in Congress, who, for the sake of maintaining part power, are resisting the return of the whole country to its former prosperity.-New York Herald, 2d. General Early was a prominent Union man in the Virginia Conven? tion, and opposed secession to the last. As soon as there was war, how? ever, ne entered the army. He never forgot his old animosities to the ori? ginal secessionists. On one occasion, "in the Valley," he needed horses-a wealthy secessionist had them, but declined to take Confederate money. "Tell him," says General Early, to his Quartermaster, "that just such fellows as he got me into this war, and I'm d-d if they shan't pay me out." General Early since the sur? render has expatriated himself, and now lives in th'3 British "West Indies. [ Vicksbjurg (Miss.) Herald. From Cuba, by the steamship Ea? gle, which arrived here yesterday, our correspondence contains news of a varied character, and far more in? teresting than the usual advices from that island. There was great excite? ment regardiug the war between Spain and the South American republics1, and over apprehensions of Chilean privateers, and business in Havana j and the other towns has become se? riously depressed thereby. On the 17th of February, a Spanish steamer, which sailed from Cadiz with sealed orders, arrived at Havana, and it is said that she brought a command to Captain-General Dulce to despatch five thousand troops to join the SpanT ? ish squadron on the Chilean coast. . General Dulce was very averse to com? plying with this order, aud the result of the matter had not transpired. In : addition to their excitement over re? ports of privateers let loose on Spa? nish commerce from English porte, the people were alarmed by a rumor that Chilean expeditions, projected in New York, were to disembark American freedmen on their shores to revolutionize the island. The Cubans are also still in great trouble, owing to the obstructions thrown in the way of all desired reforms" by the home Government. The landing of slaves from Africa continues. A lot of one hundred were recently sold for eighty thousand dollars to a planter, who, it is said, is one of those who some time ago entered into a cove? nant to no louger deal in human flesh. The Mayor of Manzanilla was recently assassinated because, it is understood, he could not be seduced into the schemes of ?'the slave-traders. There have lately been a large number of supposed incendiary fires in Matan? zas. In Havana the Grau opera com? pany is giving much satisfaction. There is still a large number of New Yorkers sojourning in that city. The cattle disease is prevailing in some portions of Cuba, attended with con? siderable mortality. {New York Herald, 2d.
