To-day I recognize Northern merchants and Jews in the
streets, busy in collecting the debts due them. The Convention has thrown some
impediments in the way; but I hear on every hand that Southern merchants, in
the absence of legal obligations, recognize the demands of honor, and are
sending money North, even if it be used against us. This will not last long.
