inia. The estimate strikes us as moderate. It is well known that nearly all the merchants of our cities, towns, and villages, were in the habit of purchasing their stocks from the North. Even though a small portion of the merchants of the interior laid in their goods in Richmond, still, in as much as the Richmond merchants bought the largest portion of their goods from New York, the result was the same as if the country merchants had all gone directly to that city. The war came on in April, just after the season when the merchants had laid in their Spring supplies of goods from the North. Very few of these goods were purchased for cash. The custom of trade was to buy on credit; and nearly all these goods were bought on the neural terms of six months time. Thus the war opened on an indebtedness from Virginia (and doubtless the case was the same with the Southern States) to the North, equal to the total of the spring purchases of her merchants.

If the Sequestration fund in the other States at all corresponds with the amount of property covered by the act in Virginia, the total fund levied upon in the South must reach one or two hundred millions of dollars, probably much more. It is said that the news of our Sequestration act has produced a profound sensation at the North. The proclamation of President Davis calling for privateers, struck that people as a clap of thunder from a clear sky. The news of our Sequestration act shocks them like the upheaving of an earthquake. It is all the more alarming to them from the fact, that it was enacted in strict retaliation for the Confiscation Law of the Washington Congress.--That unwise body forgot the old adage cautioning the dwellers in glass houses against the imprudence of throwing stones. Not only was the Confiscation Law passed by the Northern

Arrest — Homicides. --In the report of the proceedings on yesterday of the Mayor's Court, in this column, the reader will see the name of a man charged with robbing Thomas H. Edwards of the sum of $110. There were several persons engaged in this robbery; and after the adjournment of the Court, His Honor issued warrants for their arrest. Officers Bibb and Blanliensing were detailed to perform the duty; and accordingly they proceeded to the camp where the guilty soldiers were quartered on that errand. They succeeded in finding one of the offenders, and were aided in his arrest by one of his fellow soldiers.--This conduct of a law-loving soldier exasperated some of his comrades, and one of them swore that be would kill him. Afterwards, during the day, the soldier and the Sergeant were walking in the streets, and were discovered by the angry criminal, who forthwith drew a pistol and commenced firing upon the one who had assisted in arresting his companion in guilt.

Norfolk, Sept. 25. Yesterday was a dull day in town and in camp. It rained during the greater part of the day, clearing off at night in time to allow ladies to attend church. The evening was clear, cool and bright, the moon shining with great beauty and brilliance, and the temperature cool enough "for bold and queenly October." To-morrow (Tuesday) evening a grand musical stories will be given at the Opera House, by one of the members of the Lynchburg Beauregard and Huger's Company D Field Artillery Battalion. The proceeds will be given for the benefit of the families of the volunteers of this city. There will be fourteen talented performers. There will be both instrumental and vocal music, and the programme is said to be original and select. Great precaution is taken, and very properly, to prevent unworthy and suspicious persons from visiting the various fortifications, public works, Navy-Yard, &c. It is a wise regulation; and the authorities should be very s
