When , , their murderous onslaught upon the quiet , uoDntaUon of Knrpsr*B Fsrry. It went off nl- , moat lavo a fainUug fit in visw of the terrible , dangers to which we weresxpoeed from the , probable repsuuou of the foray, at some fu- , tare Usae, under better auspices for the ns- t aniiaata. When Bnowu was to ho hung, it be- , canto desperately alarmed, lest bis execution • ahouM cauas va to toss casts In tbe eyes of the t ualveraal Yankee nation. When Vicroa ■ Htoo perpetrated hie ridiculous diatribe, ■ couched unJer the pretence of an appeal to , Amt-tuT to apare the Ufa of John Bnowu, iv a vicarious agonies for the Soetb. writhing, as , It supposed, under the terrible castigatlou , wsredUtressiug to behold. Wnen the Legls- , latere of Virgiaia reiuasd to pardon stb •t-BBBS and Hablbtt, nnothor nt of terror , came over it, lest we should be regarded as ! worse than ths Saracens, who, it seems, did I -not hang the Crusudere-the prototypea of the Mnrper-s Ferry culpriu-wben they caught them. At present, it is laboring nnder a lit of np prehension more serious than any by which it has been bsretofore exercised. It bus dts covered that the maaufactures of Qreat Brlt nin lv commerce, tv welfare-nay, iv very existence, depends upon the Southern States of this Union. Far from seeing in this fact, a future of unclouded prosperity for this re gion. It cna see aothlng on i clouds nnd dark ness' The abortive attempt of Jon* Bbowh, It appears, has aroused Qreat Bri tain to a sense of the danger to which she must be inevitably and continually exposed, as long as her pros perity—nay, the very existence of her Govern meut, depends upon the existence of slavery in the South. Parliament has inquired into tbe -fhatter. Gigantic effbrU are to be made to introduce the culture of cotton into nil lac tropicul possessions of England, ludia ia to be tried, the Oape is to be tried, Sierra lJbn* is to be tried, Borneo is to be tried.— Beyond the"limits of the British rule, Brazil is to he stimulated to fresh exertion, and Cuba is to be encouraged to throw her weight into tbe scale. A horrible future is banging over tbe nn fortunate Southern States, in tbeeventof Eng land'a success iv these eflbru. They are not, it aeemi-, Hks Eagland. Even though the cot tun crop should be cut short In the Southern States by the success of the efforts continual ly making iv England and the North to'excite insurrection among onr negroes, and England should thereby be plunged into a gulf of mise ry aad ruin sucb as tbe imagination shrinks from conceiving, yet there is n strength in the composition of the race that will enable them to triumph eventually even over this calami ty. But for va poor creatures of the South in the event of Englund-a success in her en deavors to get rid of her dependence on us, or of successful insurrection among us—there is no hope. There is nothing in our characur to mil back upon. The countrymen ot Wash ixotoh and Jackboh—the descendants of the men who conquered at tbe Cowpens and King's Mountain, and New Orleabs—tbe brethren of the daring pioneers wbo marched with Cl auk to the Wabash, and added au em pire to the Union—are a poor, weak, nerveless, mean-spirited race, unable to help themselves, while all the virtues and all tbe talents have lied to the camp of the Lynu shoemakers, who are ready to cut tbe throaU of their em ployers for the bread which they arc no long er able to afford them. The countrymen of the Sum*»'B*B aud the llickuans alone retain any of the genuine spirit becoming free men. The countrymen of the Bhookm aud the Edmi j-d --bobb are wretched creatines, whom it were a waste of words to describe as men. The mise rable South, it seems, does not even kuow what a catastrophe is pending over it. ltdoes not kuow that Great Britain is moving bea ■ven and earth to get her supplies elsewhere We pass over the insolent affectation of pity for the South which runs through all the.-* hypocritical essays. Ths South must be fallen tow, indeed, when it can regard them with any other feeling than unqualified contempt. But when the writer tells hU readers that the South has taken no note of the efforts which Great Britain ia making now, and has beeu constantly making for tbe last quarter of a century, to rid herself of ber absolute depeud. eace upon the cotton States of this Union, he tolls them what Is altogether inconsistent witb ths facta of the case. Tbe South knows well enough that Great Britain would gladly do without iv cotton if she could; but it knows enough of tbs cotton culture to be perfectly aware that she never can, and never will ren der herself Isss dependent than she U now.— Nor will the Siuth feel nny alarm at this new ecstasy of tbe Times when it learns that tbe principal deiwudence of Great Britain for ef fecting this great object is, not upon Brazil, or Cuba,or India, or tbe Oape; but upon the country Dr. Livibohtow has found, measur ing sixty miles by twenty, nnd lying two hun dred miles from the sen-const, tbe Intervening region being tbe most fatal to European life of any yet discovered upon tbe face of tbe globe Especially calm does it feel when it reflects that thu cultivation of this newly-discovered valley dependa upon tbe same race of people -who are now Buffering the island of Jamaica to return to n state of nature, end that there Is no means of compelling them to work- Should it even become no longer profitable to cultivate cotton, there urea plenty of objects to which the South can devote lv labor, aa tbe Times will be apt to learn if it will only take I tbe trouble to inquire what is producing the general strike now raging all around it. extraordinary Profits of Southern Manu. i fartares. i The hut annual statement of the Eagle Cot- . ton Manufacturing Company, Columbus, (la, j ■els forth that their factory began operations , In l*-38, but, soon after, a disaster to the dams j caused a loss of seven months' lime; added to . which, tbe difficulty and delay ia procuring ( mmnj teaching operatives In a community where ail had to be taught, might fairly place the operations as beginning in 18-5.1, now seven yean.

Tax—lts Mistery lathe Ac letter below from Mr. Ro«|b»t*bu", vin* dicatea the House of Delegates new what he ta very correctly consider, tbe fair Itaforence from J the remarks of the 2>. - j-*e«c*, quoted by him-- The wrltsr was minted more, iietbAps, thun by „ anything else, by ths idea (which, in the an- „ 5 of the Mouse, might very naturally have bsc-n , «neeenrsM ■■llrlllllil !■ »" ■ on without deliberution and debate. and be « W moreover, looking more particularly to • thTnurprialagmajortty against the proposi- , Hon i" the Senate, and the remarkable con trust presented by ths attitude of the two , Houses on the subject. He waa not himself acquainted with the facts now presented by 1 Mr. Robbbtbow, and which vindicate tbe 1 House from the remarks alluded to. Bnt does I not the vindication convey or juaJfy a grave I accusation agalnat the House as a deliberative i body, for pressing with such haste a measure j so important in its charac.tr and of such un- j certain and vital consequences I I To tub Editob op ths Ditatch:— Noticing ( tbe signal defeat of the one per cent, tax in the , Senate, your paper of this morning contains the folk-wine.: "We do not remember, a similar case a case wherein a measure of public policy ol the moat important character, paassd by the House ot Delegates, alter elaborate debate, waa defeated in the Senate by such a vote ss this." The impression conveyed by this paragraph '■-i am satisfied, unintentionally-but is misleading and unjust alike to the House of Delegates and to the opponents in it of the one per cent, merchants tax. With what follows in the Bame para* rapn of your paper, it imports that the measure has "attained popularity" in the House alter full con sideration and discussion. Now, what are ths tacts t . The amendment to the tax bill proposing tins im portant measure of public policy, as you juntly de scribe it. and unsettling the very foundations or our syßtern of taxation, was not before the Home three hours before it was put to the vote. It is understood only to have been projected the even ing previous to its introduction, by an informal conference of perhaps three members of the House and one of the Senate. It came from no commit tee. underwent n.. previous investigation by one, was never printed, and was pressed to an imme diate, vote on the --round of the House rap.dl> thinning, by members leaving for their homes. it was introduced by the Chairman of ths Finance Committee, late in the morning session of March I.lth, in Buhstitution of the measure recon-mentfeu by the committee; was instantly assailed by my self, earnestly and ab'y seconded by the meinlreis for Petersburg, Portsmouth and others, (but with tho admitted disadvantages of coping, un.-repared, and at a moment's notice, with a great and totally new question of public policy.) and was put to the vote in ths evening session ol the same day, and adopted by a vote of 66" to 41. I immediately oilered an amendment, postponing the operation of this clause of the bill, so that it should not affect licensee issued the i-resent year, which was adopted by the House the next morning. This feature of the bill again underwent discussion when the bill came up on iv passage, but it could only be opposed then as a ground of rejecting the tax bill altogether. The bill was in fact, for a time, lost; but two or three gentlemen, changing their votes, saved it, though I do not believe, still, it could have passed the House except for the intimation made on the floor by the patron of it, that those acting with him would introduce important modifications ef it in the Senate. . 1 wish to say that I concur most heartily in the value you attack to the able discussion it elicited I from men practically acquainted with these sub jects. No one is moie sensible than myself of the indispeusibleness to sound legislation, on mercan tile attain, that merchant! should be consulted, and cone owes them more obligations than I do. I have thought this statement due to myself, if not to the House, to correct the erroneous impres sions your remarks are calculated to convey. Windham Robertson. ». .. „r h.i.*:iti.4i l March 2l», 18**0. The Legislature. The aWamtnj yesterday, passed a large num ber of House bill--, including the following, uf local tud general character, vi/.: Authorizing tbe Midlothian Coal Miniug Company to con struct a railroad from their miucs iv Ohtatei' ileld county, to a point on James Iliver, be tween Warwick and the town of Manchester, and regulating taxes on Hesarees. The Senate refused to Insert in the latter a tax or. oysters, and struck out the word-bond" in the bill, thus making all goods subject to taxation, un less dirertly Imported from foreign countries into the State. The resolution respecting the pay of the S'Jth Kegiinent of Militia was inde fliuttly postponed. Certain portions of the Governor's message respecting the ripariau rights of owners of Potomac Hiver lands, was referred to a select committee. Tbe Senate agreed to meet at lv o'clock hereafter until tbe close of the session. The House of Delegates pastt-d an act pro vldiugfor the furuisbiug of Mayo's Guide to tbe Clerks of Courts and tbe Magistrates oi the Commonwealth; also a bill amending an act increasing the capital stock of the Kemps ville Canal Company. A resolution, providing bow a portion of the money donated to the Covington and Ohio Railroad should be ex pended, was rejected. The bill eouceruinga work-house in the city of Richmond, was amended so as to provide punishment tor re fractory subjects confined therein. The "Briiitia Boy" in England. Mr. JonM C. Hbbsan, alias the * Benicia J Boy," has become an object of much interest in Eugland His name has even found its way into Parliament, a member having called at tention to certain petitions, praying that steiw might be taken by theGroverument to prevent the "Great Mill" between the Boy and his English antagonist, Ton Savers. Ministers were asked what steps they intended to pur sue in the matter. The reply was that the Chief Commissioners of Police would take steps to prevent the fight within the Metro politan Police District, but no pledge could be given as to tbe steps which would be taken be yond that limit. So that, outside of London, the two champions may pummel each other without let or hindrance. The national char acter which it has beeu attempted to give the affair will increase the inSerest which English men of all classes feel in a t-jiarring exhibition. Probably, half of Parliament will be present, for there are no more ardent admirers, and few more complete proficients iv " the manly art of self-defence," than the noblemen and gentry of Eugland. Fatal Akkair.—On Wednesday last, Mr. Wm. H. Berheley, of King and queen county, Va., having heard that Joseph Broach had cir culated a slßHderous report about one of his daughters, waited upon Broach aud demanded a retraxit, or the name of the author.
