the herds of the land. The right arm of the
nation has been working there, even while we
saw no diminution of force in the efforts made
here. This benefit, too, has been kept near,
and rendered available by a genins which was
competent to the result. Steam has rendered
the rivers short, and made the State lines al
most contiguous. That which is native to Mis
souri or Louisiana, is easily marketed in New
York, and even the cereals of the Pacific are
proximate to our demand. The expansion of
the means moreover, kesps pace with that of
the demand. Where there was formerly one
route to the mouth of the Ohio, there are, at
present, a dozen ; each one of which is steadily
growing in usefulness. New York, Boston,
Philadelphia. Baltimore, Charleston, Mobile,
and New Orleans, have extended themselves
through present and prospective steam commu
nication towards the remotest interior. Gal
veston is reaching throngh the centre of Texas
towards the farther confines of the same, and
California seeks to bring New Mexico to its
door. In time, Oregon, will throw out tendrils
sufficient to create a great city from the West
ern slope of the Rocky Mountains, and there
will be uninterrupted transit across the conti
nent. The industry of the nation cannot but
keepjiace with these aids and incentives ; it
will more probably overstep them, as it has
done heretofore. As yet we have attained only
a skeleton of our national productiveness the
round and complete developement lies ahead,
waiting for wiser and stronger men. Cotton
has grown and is growing, and manufactories
have arisen for its use; wheat has matured,
and the mills for its grinding ; iron has walked
out into the sanlight, and been forged into
usefulness ; cattle have multiplied npon the
plains and been suddenly transported to market.
The present is not as the past, yet by the
arithmetic of our own advance, how very far
are we from comprehending the picture that
shall be presented when another decimal stands
in our almanac, when every sea-board city is a
depot for the interior, and that interior is active
in providing for the wants which it has to sup
ply. A comparison of the map as it is to-day,
with what it was in 1840, shows some evidence
of the celerity and direct ion of national pro
gress in new States, new" railroads and new
cities. The more important portion of the pic
ture, however, grows out of the comparison with
the past and the inquiry of the future. What
shall be when the granaries j;e a our doors
and all the productiveness of the land is within
reach ? when the cities of the East and South
are depleting those of the North and West of
their produce, and supplying to them that which
is foreign? Every day brings the answer nearer
to us, and with its enunciation shows some new
good, unanticipated, yet grateful. JV. York

Positions assumed hy Judge Douglas in the
t.ate Election The Richmond South sums
them up as follows. The New York Tribune
copies from the South, and endorses the accu
racy of this summary of tho positions assumed
and maintained by Mr. Ponrlas before the
people of Illinois, in t lie recent canvass for a
Senatorial re election :
1. Judge Donglas affirms the original and
essential inferiority of the negro.
2. He denies that the nerro was intended to
be embraced within the abstractions of the
Declaration of Independence, and asserts that
the runit of freedom and equality was nredi-
cated only on the dominant race of white men.
3. He denies the privilege of citizenship to
the negro.
4. He affirms the compatibility of a confed
eracy of free and slave States, and the possi
bility of their harmonious co-existence under a
common Constitution
5. He affir ms the absolute sovereignty of the
States in respect to their domestic Institutions,!
and denies the authority of the Federal Gov
ernment to discriminate against the interests
of slavery.
6. He inculcates a policy of non-interveD-tion,
as between the free and slayehoIJing
States, as well as between the latter and the
Federal Government.
I. He supports the decision of the Supreme
Court, and asserts for slavery the right of colo
nization in the Territories.
8. He upholds all the guarantees of the Fed
eral Constitution in respect to the rights of the
South.
1). He maintains the dignity and independ
ence of the Senatorial function, against the en
croachments of Executive usurpation.
10. He protects his opposition to Black Re
publicanism at every point and upon every
principle.
II. He pledges himself to fidelity to the or
ganization, principles and nominees of the Dem
ocratic party.
What Cotton is doing for us.
Many reliable estimates set down the cotton
crop of the United States this year at the high
figure of 3,500,000 bales. It is coming to
market mucli earlier than usual The receipts
at Southern ports are 250,000 bales (in round
numbers) in advance of the receipts of last and
other average years to same date. So large
have been the arrivals at Charleston, Savan
nah, Mobile, and New Orleans, that specie
has been shipped from New York to the South
to buy bills on England more cheaply than they
can be had here. The price is satisfactory. 1
And, considering the condition of Europe ;
peace everywhere ; prosperity in Germany, Ire
land, Spain, and other countries which have
often lately been in the deepest distress ; a
large accumulation of money at the financial
centres ; a fair prospect that new markets for
European manufactures will be opened in China,
Japan, British Columbia, and elsewhere ; there
is no reason to expect that the price will de
cline. In an article published some months back in
this journal, we showed that in the most active
commercial year the United States ever knew,
1856, the cotton of the South was our chief
stand-by and set-off against the enormous con
sumption of foreign goods in the great cities
and throughout the country. But for the eo
pious supply of cotton, and the high price it
commanded, the United States would have in
curred a debt to the foreign world which it
would have taken years to discharge.
It seems now that the cotton crop is going
to be the means of setting the trade of the
country on its legs again. Our other great
staple breadstuffs is in an unpromising con
dition. Excellent harvests have been the rule
throughout Europe, and the price of all kinds
of breadstuffs rules so low that it is estimated
that a loss of at least a million of dollars has
been incurred by the. parties who sent bread
stuffs to New York this fall. At present rates,
and they are likely to be unchanged for some
months, flour and wheat cannot be sent abroad
and sold so as to repay the producer in the
West.
Our cotton, ou the contrary, if the crop ful
fills present expectations, will not only nobly
reward the planter, but will go a long way to
ward liquidating the debt we are incurring to
Europe for dry good and foreign manufactures.
More than this : the early receipts at' the
Southern ports, by suggesting shipments of)
specie from New York, have given trade the
first wholesome impetus it has had since the
revulsion. The four or five millions of specie
we have sent to the South were worse than
useless in our bank vaults here. In the South
they will be eminently useful. They will gene
rate and feed traffic throughout the Southern
country. And coming back to us, as they will
by various channels through the South and
West, they will, on their journey, serve useful
ly to restore credit and foster wholesome com
mercial enterprise. The revival of trade will
hereafter be dated from the early fall receipts
of cotton from the Sooth, and the movement
in specie which they occasioned. Harpers'.
ITEMS.
A Blue Pill. The election of a Democrat"
ic member of Congress in Wisconsin, and an
other in Michigan, has taken the Republicans
by surprise. In their victorious march through
the country, the thought of defeat in a single
oiaie naa not once occurred to tnem, and es
pecially in such Republican strongholds as the
above. Hence the election of these Democrats
is peculiarly aggravating to them. Though
compelled to concede the fact, they are unwil
ling to admit that it was a fair fight. Con
vinced that they ought to have triumphed, they
ar&now putting their wits together to account
for their defeat. Various and logical are their
deductions. The Tribune says that a rain storm
prevented a full Republican vote ; also that the
Democratic candidates were the ablest men ;
whie the Albany Journal attributes the suc
cess of the Democrats, to their having repu
diated the Kansas policy of the Administration.
Wc trust the Republicans will settle the ques
tion to their satisfaction.

civilization. Louisville Journal.
Coupled Cannons. One of the most formi
dable weapons of modern warfare may be said
to be the coupled cannons. lwo cannon nave
the same breech and diverge at a given angle ;
they have a common charge of powder, a single
touch-hole and a sitijjle cap. In each of these
cannons, which are accurately bored and polish
ed, a piston of a cylindrical form, is fitted, hav
ing the same calibre as the cannon, carefully
turned, polished and grooved. These two pis
tons are united together by an iron cord or
wire when used with a musket, or an iron chain
from a metre to a hundred metres in length.
These pistons serve as projectiles. When fired
they straighten the chain between them, and,
flying through the air, they sweep every thing
before them. This is a French device.
Bonnets. By the late advices from Paris,
there is a reflux of the tide of fashion so far as
regards that important item of feminine attire,
the bonnet. The aphelion point has evidently
been reached and passed, and bonnets are once
more on the increase. "Winter bonnets will
be made rather larger than those worn during
the past year ; the front comes further forward
and the crown slants off behind. The curtain
is wide, round, and not raised at all. The very
wide ana ions' strings are otten bonnet with a
piece of velvet or ribbon of a different coior
L lie inside trimming continue to be an empress
knot or foliage or ribbon, or else a half wreath
of flowers. "
