From the North.
The last Northern news, in our paper to-day gives another chapter of the epistolary contest between Governor Seymour, of New York, and President Lincoln.
The former is a little more bold, while the latter is still firm and determined in pushing on the draft.
What the Governor will do now remains to be seen.
The papers speak of "great excitement," and a "State Rights" party is announced as having been formed in Gotham.

Original products of New York vice and crime5,000
We should judge that this, coming from a Yankee source, can be taken as a fair estimate of the population of New York.
Will not Bennett inform us how many vagabonds are in Philadelphia?
