Wcclip from the New York Uernld ofThursday (for which we are indebted to a friud its special Washington Dispatch! Washington, Jan. 4, 1860, There are no indications of a speedy organization of the House. The simultaneous response today of at least fifty democratic members to the appeal of Mr. Kilgore for the plurality rule, that it would never be allowed to operate, looks like an organize*] determination to resist nnv election, uulee* it is obtained by a majority front those who were clected by republican votes. On the other band, some of the gentlemen who thus obtained their election, and announced their intention to vote for Mr. Sherman before Congress assembled, now refuse to do so, declaring they never will do it, ii/l (liat alandinrv nnt tliotr will nnnr/vA tlio V..?v """"."b v - ? the democracy to submit to the plurality rule. It is evident that the democrats will not be dragooned into any such thing, There is a report currcnt to-day thnt an election will b? prevented until after the Charleston Convention. The republicans are tnlking to- night abut a cancu* to determined what their future policy shall be in recard to the speakership. The mnin object is to prevent speaking and insist upon balloting. Messrs. Sickles and Revolds were the only absent members ?'f tbe House who had not paired off. In a spirit of accommodation Mr. Taylor to-day paired with Mr-Sickles. The absence of Mr. Reynoldn, without pair, accounts for the change in the relative vote for Mr. Sherman, who lacked tliiec votes of on election. Senator Douglas is reported sick to,day. He may yet be obliged to go South, The delegate from Utah will, after the organization of the House present the application of that territory for admission into the Union. They adopted a constitution several rears ago. He represents that Utah has a population of 100.000, and that if the Mormons were allowed to elect their officers the would be almost as well satisfied with a Territorial as a State organization, and probably be willing to pay the cxnetifes of their government besides. A member of an extensive furnishing house in New York arrived here to day froiu a tour south, and reports that Richmond, Va., merchants refused to continue their trade with his house, because lie and his partners voted ior Fremont. It is 6aid to be the fact that such a feeling is stronger in Richmond that in an}' other Southern city, because of the d?sire of busioes men to oinpete with the great Northern citiee of Baltimore, Philadelphia, Now York and Boston. Voluminous despatches were received at the Department of Stat* from Minister McLane today. No material change in aspect of affairs had occurred. The liberals were maintaining their position, notwithstanding the embarrassments under which they were laboring. The main thing necessary to secure their permanent ascendency is material aid, and unless something is speedily done, they will be compelled to yield up the power they nowposBcss. Tha ratification by our government of the treaty negotiated would, in Mr. McLane's judgment be of immense benefit to them, and might ultimately place them beyond the reach of the various parties who arc now waging war against the liberals. The British bondholders < .. uitnwij uio nuuotu nil MIC ucoiy icucuwv negotiated. The President *entto the Senate to day the Mexican treaty. It was accompanied by a biief statement, written by Mr. McLane,,io regard to the condition of affaire in thai country. It containssome points which were not in the possession of the President at th< time his Message was written. It also showi the importance of an early ratification, and th< advantages which will accrue thereby. - ^BUSINESS IK CHARLESTON. The editojc of the Augusta Diapatch id hii 1 last paper writine froui Charleston, trivea somi interesting information relativo to the tru< 1 course of business. Our merchant^ in the in ! terior, generally think that they cttn purchos< goods in Northern markets upon as lavorabl i terms as the Charleston jobber. Mr. Atkinson * ;n the subjoined extract, explains this poin ; vary clearly: 'j A movement is oo foot, with a fair proa pec of success, to put on a direct line of steamer i to.Liverpool. The banking capital of the cit; ' is ample, and the facilities extended to met ' chants are I learn, of the most liberal charac ter. Already a much larsrer amount of irood f i?' imported Fiere, than to'any porjgpf simila commercial importance in the country, an large'cargoes are 6b the way to swell tlie su[ plies or the opening season. The laws of trad 9 eaunot be changed in ' a moment. Importei - here must be assured of the earnest co-operi n tion of the merchants of.the interior, in orde e tt> send forward their orders to manufacturer) nnd to offer all vareties of goods demanded b " the trade. The assertion often made, that * Charleston Jbbbers buy of the North, irftferio [ merchants may as well go North also, is a falle . cioos conclusion. ? _ ? TU ?. .-*1- .21^1 -/ 1 1 ?

The Vtyr Yor)^ Jvutnaty>/ Cotn^ttee, closes an arlicle on the effeota of tbe non-intercourse movements in the Soutl), with the following significant remarks: "The South has been making gradual pro* grens in the mechanic arts for many years past, and factories for the' coarser cotton aud woolen fabrics bore been put in operation in many State*; so that this movemeut is r,o new thine, but h*s simply received an'unusual find marked impetus, for reasons already given.? The chief diffioulty of the South in extending her efforts to successful pjactical result*, bos been her laek of mechanical skill. She has been almost wholly an agricultural producer, ller laborers (slaves) are chiefly farmers; the whites, merchants and professional men.- She now looks for operatives to aid her in carrying on her mechanical enterprises, and already has she engaged the services of many such from I the North. Northern mechanics, aud all who are willing to engage iu ? legitimate and honorable occupation, are most desirable acquisitions to tliu South, and are cordially welcomed. We learn that never before was so large an emigration of this class to the South known.? The iuducemcnts to go South are unusual; for not only are the wages considerably larger than are paid here, and the expenses of living somewhat leas, but in many parts of the Notrh complaints of hard times have begun to be heard. Some arc out of employ, as is always the ease iu tlie winter season, and others are working at reduced wages. The Chelsea (Mass.) lierald reports dull times there, 'the best carpenters being glad to get work at J1.26 per dny, and good workmen commanding only 7ft cents. Painters, it is said, will not average 60 cents a day the coming winter; ship-earpeuters are out of employ, and masona have gone into the country.' The prospects of all such would be improved, at least for the pre sem, oy going souin. 1 * ^ Our.

Some time ago we wore waited on very politely by Mr. J A&tBi M. rEUKIN, who said he was directed by a 'Vigilance CJlnmitteo" recently organized inthis place, to say to us that^r.e had no right to sell %pirits in any quantity, to any man, if the order ftH the same was Irought by a Nogro, even by tho slave of tho individual who Bonds the order. Being thus admonished we, as all good citizens ought, have ever since complied with said instructions. Many of our friends have advised us to the contrary, thinking do doubt, we had the right in law to let a master have three gallons or more, through his servant, especially when that servant brings an order signed by him. Dut be the matter as it may, it affects the public more than it does us; and it may be best, under present circumstances, to require every one who wishes to buy spirit* to come for tho article in "proper person"?at least) so it would seem think the " Vigilance Committee."
