fknnitrrxi). Upon information lodged with Sheriff
Vaobt fie yesterday arrested a free negro named John
Tatx?b formerly of Fayetteville, bat for some years a
resident ot this county, upon a charge of murder. The
facte as shown on an examination held before John J.
CestOLST, Esq., Special Magistrate,appcaredo be as
follows: v
Some two years since, while Tatlor was going up
the North East branch of the Cape Fear River from
"Wilmington, in a fiat, and when about a mile and a half
from town, a negro belonging to Akthub J . Hill, Esq.,
Came to the flat on which Tatlox was, the only other
"persons on the flat being three young negro boys. The
ftfgro traded with Tayix, receiving meat and whiskey
for some beans. He got drank on the whiskey and laid
down on the flat and went asleep, daring which time
Tatlos robbed him of some little money which was in
bis pockets, after which he woke him up and put him
ashore. Shortly after being put ashore the negro mis
ced his money and pursued the flat in a small boat with
the riew of getting it back. He came np with the flat
mad demanded his money of Tatlor, who took up a
beavy boat-hook or "gig" and beat the negro over tbe
bead and back. The beaten man endeavored to get in
to his tat but npset her, and got into the river ; the
bora, with Tatlor. hauled him on aboard tbe flat, whea
Tatlor went at him with an axe. The second lick
Tatlor struck him with the axe he tumbled overboard
ia a dying condition, and never came cut alive. This
occurred about ten miles above town. The boys state
that they were deterred from reporting the murder cn
ajMonnt of threats made bv Tatlor that he would kill
them if they ever said a word about it. The boys are
tree boys.
Tatlor was fully committed to stand his trial, for
murder at the next term of the Superior Court of Law
fcr this County. Daily Journal, 12th inst.

Will soon be npon us, and with the spirit now abroad
in Congress, we must all " march," editors, proprietors,
printers, and je dyvil," for saith Mr. Conrad ol
" Lousy Anna," the people can do mighty well, if not
better without newspapers, and " edi tours," " redac
teor et id genus omne, require no knowledge, no train
ing, in fact, in Mr. Conrad's opinion, editors can af
ford to be as ignorant and useless as members of Con
gress or ex-Secretaries of the navy. We havs long
entertained a different opinion. There is no otter pro.
fession which presents so many failures and so fcw le
gitimate successes. We say legitimate successes, for
men have sacceeded in making money and obtaining
circulation by demagoguical, sensational or other un
worthy means. 8 ut to obtain a legitimate success,
without resort to any of these left-hacded manoeuvres,
requires a tact and training which Mr. Conrad has
aever had and which he is incapable to ccquire and un
able to endure.
Bat " march " is the word. Every fellow must march.
The click of the types and the sound of the press is to
be heard no more in the land. As the Spring opens all
these things must give way to the voice of the turtlle
not tbe snapping tortile neither the yallegator
but the turtile dove, and no voices are to be raised save
those of Congressmen and ex-Secrctarics of tbe Navy.

We take it very easy. We try to do our duty where
we are. The price of paper is getting up, and, upon
the whole, it would not be a bad idea to stop printing at
present rates, and we don't want to raise them. If we
can do better service anywhere else, then it will be all
fight. We don't think we can, but we will try to do
our best wherever we may be called. We only renew
our request that members of Congress be exempted acd
kept out ot the army, for it would rain us to be in the
same army corps with such men as Coxrad or Foots !
Tea verily, it would ! Selah !
Tax General Assembly of this State was to have ad.
journed, and, so far as we know, did adjourn, yesterday.
We have made few reports of the actions of this Leg'
islature. It has done little, but that is not to be im
puted to it as a fault. Had it done less it would, per
haps, have had lee3 to answer for. The same might be
aid of most legislative bodies. A very few measures
rightly weighed are all that are wanted.
- We have avoided sayiDg much about this (probably)
defunct body. We will continue to pursue the same
course; de mortuis nil nisi bon um, is a good and a
wise saying, and, adopting this rule, we can have very
Little to say about the late Legislature. We do sin
cerely hope, that, taking it all in all we may neverlook
upon its like again. Surely, in reference to this re
cently deceased assemblage, tbe defeated candidates for
Beats therein may well comfort themselves by the re
flection that " the post of honor is the private station."
We mean no personal reflection upon any of the men
bers not we, for they are belligerent threatening
combative. 'Its&talked much fight. Several members
did insist ferociously that any bedy thai didn't admit,
concede and indeed, assert their (the members,) Simon
parity had denied the faith and was worse than an infi
delwas, in fact a "destructive". Lord bless us, we
are meek and lowly, and the big bluster . convinced us
that those using it were very brave Berionaly danger
waa, etcetera, etcetera, and w were compelled to hold
our tongue yes, we were.
The House of Commons immortalized itself by en
terjainlng Dr. Henry's donkey-assical resolutions about
the Richmond Enquirer and other people. We are
glad that returning sanity induced it to drop the thing
The ten regiment hobby was also dropped. There was
still some public opinion left which the high-falatin
ssembers could not quite bully down, and which they
were not altogether brave enough to defy.
We hardly think that the State ever did have pre
cisely such another Legislature. Are we singular in
expressing the hope tnat it may never again have an
other exactly like tt Daily Journal, 12th.
The Savannah u Republican " of the 4th instant says
advices, from the Ogeechee indicate that the Yankees
contemplate another attack npon our battery. The
iron-clad steamer was in sight of tbe fort yesterday,
accompanied by a transport, which was transferring to

not improbable that the fight will be renewed in the

Serious Accidkst. On last Monday morning be
tween seven and eight o'clock, a negro girl named Ks .
ziah, about fifteen years old, belonging to Wm. N. Px
dkk, Esq., but hired to Mr. W. W. Teicb, went to lilt
some cooking nensil from tbe hearth, using tbe skirtcf
her frcck as a protection for her hand. The frock
caught fire and before it cru'd be extinguished, she was
so much burned that she died this morning. The Louse
was set on re in two or tbrc places, bat was soon ex
tinguish. Thx exemption bill, or rather tbe question of an ex
emption bill seems to give our Confederate CoDgress a
great deal of trouble. There is eyidently no system
nor understood principle iu the case ; neither is there
aDjthing approaching to permanency. We may know
what tbe law is to-day, and make arrangements accord
iogly, but we can have no assurance that such will be
the law to-morrow, or that tbe arrangements made may
not be knocked on the bead before they have gone into
operation.
Some go lor repealing all exemption?, others go for
devolving the responsibility of all exemptions on the
President or the Secretary of War ; others again go.
for modifying existing laws, but the result so far ht.e
been that with a single exception tbe Houae of Repre
sentatives has knocked all amendments on tbe bed and
tbe law of the last session remains uachanged, with the
single exception above referred to ; that exception is in
regard to exempting one person as owner, agent or
overseer on any plantation havirg as many as twenty
negroes. This exemption has been repealed by the
House It has been the occasion of much complaint
upon the part of non-slaveholders, although in fact its
adoption originally was dictated by considerations of
which favouriteism fcr slaveholders or men of wealth
formed no part. We think it absolutely necessary as a
measare of safety and of domestic police that some
white men should thus be left for the purpose of main
taining order and enforcing discipline among the ser
vile population. Bt sides, for the purpose of raising
supplies to fed cur armies, the labor of tbe slave popu
lation of tbe Southern States must be oar main depen
dence, and in order that such - labor should be produc
tive it is necessary that it should be under intelligent
white control. This control can be beet exercisea by
the owners or overseers on tLc different plantations.
These considerations appear to ua to be based upon
grounds of public policy and not of personal favour.
We think that some exemption is' necessary for the pur
pose of havjng due control among the negroes, and of
utilizing their labor for the support of our armies in
the field.
Valentine's Dat. We happened yesterday after,
noon o open an exchange paper in which we noticed
a bird of tbe pigeon breed pictured Sying, with an en
velope in its bill, said envelope being supposed to con
tain a Valentine. Tbe letter prefs below iuformed tbe
public that Valentines could be bought at a certain
place.
This reminded us of a fact tbat we otherwise should
have been very ept to forget, and that ia that to-morrow
will be tbe 14tb ot February, and therefore the day
appropriated t Saint Valentine, whoevtr he was, for
there are different stories told about the old gcntlemr.o.
Luckily the custom of sending Valentines had been
pretty much abandoned before the war commenced, and
so it is that few wjll regret the difficulty of getting the
fancy papers upon which namby pamby verses used to
be illustrated by abominably stupid engravings. Still
we have no doubt but that some enamorate swains will
send " the dockyments," which will, in some cases, cre
ate quite a flatter in gentle bosoms.
In tbe matter of Valentines and " swet doves "
that " fly away," it is as well to state, as a matter of
fact for public information, tbat pigeons carrying letters
by express do not carry them in their bills, but, on the
contrary, tied to their shin-bonta.

VVs agree fully with -the Richmond Enquiier in
deprecating the too frequent indulgence in exaggera
tion which characterizes reports from ths theatre of
war either on sea or land, and which, unfortunately, is
not confined to the Lincolnites, but shows itself in high
quarters evei among the Confederates.
The recent higb-f&lutin despatches from Charleston
tb? raising of tbe blockade and all that, were v. ry fair
illustrations of ' Much Ado about Nothing," or next to
nothing. Now that ihe fog clears up we find that the
expedition of our iron-clads was pretty badly managed
and failed in accomplishing what ought to have been its
main object, namely, the recapture of the Princess
Royal with her invaluable cargo. She was lying a
snort distance from the bar and might have been taken
but Was permitted to escape. We do wish that tele
graphic correspondents and sensational editors would
try to " hold their horses " a little now and then.
We are requested to state that the post-office at Ev
erettefiville, Wayne county, was discontinued "la No

The Fayetteville Observer, in its last issue, either
misofidsrstands or misrepresents oar meaning. We
much prefer to accept tbe former construction of its
coarse.
We know tie reserves in South Carolina are com
posed of perrons not subject to conscription. We know
that the only State troops in Georgia are railroad
guards, vrho in oar State are Confederate soldiers. They
are paid by the Confederacy and subject to Confederate
orders in both States. There are two regiments of such
guards in Georgia, and probably between one and two
in this State.
General Floyd's whole "State line" never did number
twrntv.fiTP bnndrrrl. and never was made nv. in whole
' . . . ... .. , .
or part, ot conscripts, and it never was worm wnai u
cost to raiso and sustain it. We think tbe Observer will
do ua tbe justice to believe that we would be among the
very last to- throw imputation npon the State of North
Carolina.
Tbi&k appears to.be little reason to doubt tbe fact
tbat all tbe movements of the enemy indicate a concen
tration of force with a view to an early attack mpon
Charleston. We may look for news of its commeBce
ment at any moment. In all probability it cannot be
delayed beyond the nexi five or sis days. God save
the right.
Wk wish we could fully believe the news said to have
ene from the Northwest, which will be found to-day
in our telegraphic column. . It is .not impossible. In
fact ft may come true at some future time, but we
donbt its being true now. Of coarse if true it would
mean peace and npon our own terms. We bad better
not count npon it at this time. We. have yet to win
oar independence. ' It has got to be conquered rather
than negotiated for. "

PurtUaie of Cotton . iw.l ToWceu by the Co'erii-
inrnt.
. We find in the Richmond Examiner tbe following
statement of the purchases of cotton already made by
tbe several agents cf tbe Government, up to the date of
their last reports :
Misa'ssippi, 38.212 baits, costine $1,88".159 99 ;
Alabama, 21,545 bales, cos ing 81,735,058 91; Geor
gia, 6 281 bales, co3tiog $499,172 88 ; South Caroli
na, 2 446 bale?, costing: $252,790 27 ; Arkansas, 1,023
bales, costine $100,218 52. Total 69,507 bales, cost
ing $4,474 400 57.
Of the above amount, so far as tbe reports of agents
show, $48,028 78 have been paid in cath, and the" re
mainder in bond;. No reports from Louisiana, Texa
and Florida have yet been received, and no reports from
any of tbe agents lor the month of December have reach
ed the office in RichmoLd, but it is estimated from let
ters received, that no les than 250,000 bales, including
the fnn-er in ifc above statement, have, up to this
time been already purchased for the use of the Govern
ment. Tbe r.verage price paid cn the purchases reported, is
abcut thirteen at;d a half cents per pound, varying in
different States, the average beicg lowest in Mississippi
and Arkansas. The prices to be paid heieafter will be,
without doubt, considerably higher.
I wo foi tr.3 of cotton certificates have been fesuec?,
one proposing to deliver the cotton to the holder at a
fisto price utter tbe d duration of peace, and the other
tnthor z ng Lim, at an agreed price, to export the cot
ton, a any time, lrom tU Confederate States to any
neuiral port, on compi.?''!-? with the requisitions of the
law. Certificates cf Uj tormer clas, amounting to
OBe iniiiion five hundred thousand dolls r&, have already
been tiarsmitttd to the depositary cf the C'Oafederate

No purchases of tobacco, under the act of April
21st, have been rrade until very recently, for the rea
son 'hat a la'ge portion of the tobacco planting region
and i he principal points where it is e'eposittd, have
been either invaded or have been under constant threat
of invasion by the enemy. A beginning, however, has,
at length, letn made, ar.d one hundred and twenty eight
bogthiads, coetrng $38,970 17, have been purchased.

From the Charlotte Democrat
Thk Case cf Rev. R. J. Graves. We notice that
Gov. Graham has madd a spaech in the Legislature in
regard to thv late arrest of Rev. R. J. Grave?, a Fres
bvtcrian preacher living: in Orange county. It will be
remembered that Graves was reiurned to oar State au
thorities, and a letter from the Secretary of War to
Governor Vance sta?C3 tbe cause of bis arrest. The
letter i-Uted, amot g other things, that Graves was ac
cubed, on the authority of a returned Confederate pris
oner, ot giving information to the enemy to the lrjury
cf the Confederate eause, and tbat he got a permit to
go North by representing himself as a atizen cf New
York, desirous of returning hem?. We did not intend
to again allude to the case, but Gov. Grahm, fpeaking
in defence ef Graves and in commenting on the fatter of
the Seerc-ary of War, omits entirely to notice tbe false
statement made by Graves to Gen. vVinder in order to
get a permit to go North. If the statea-.er.t ofcGraves
tbat he is a citizen of New York is trur, ,hy then the
Confederate authorities very properly supposed tbat
they had -a right to arrest him as an alien enemy ; but
if that statement was fabe (and it seiiifl tbat he now
claims to be a citizen of North Carolina) then it ap
pears that he ha:; certainly been guilty ot deception and
wiiful falsehood. ,
- We are eorry that Gov. GruLiUi, while speaking in
Graves' favor, did not explain thia matter. Mr. Graves'
friends c'aira that he is a citz n of this State, and
Graves himself has ta'ien protection urdcr that plea,
thereby acknowledging that he made a fule statement
in order to visit tbe North. We krow nothing of the
matter motetha we see in the public papers, but inas
much as Gov. Graham and others continue to blase
the Confederate authorities for making the arrest, we
feel justified in alluding to the falee ropreeeutati.oca of
Graves to show that he is not as ent niy guiltless as son.e
seem anxious to nwke it appear.
Since the above articla was put in type we find tbe
following dispatch in the Raleigh Progress, which in
dicates that th. Tv was good cause for the arrest ol
Graves :
Hillsboro, N. C, Feb. 4. The examination of Eev. K.
J. Graves took plaee to-day before the Hon. M. E. &an!y
Gtaorge V. Strong appearing for the prosecution, and Hon.
W. . Graham for the defendant. The accused was bound
over to the Confederate Court at Richmond, to stand his
trial on a charge of treason.

How Lincoln Provides for bis FfeiiNDs. -The
Legislature of New Jersey bag just turned !r. Fields
it of tbe Senate of the United States to make way for
Mr. Wall: The vote by which this was done was an
overwhelm'!? cofiden.nation at once of the course, of
the dismissed Senator, and of tbe general policy tf the
Administration. - The Administration accordingly re
plies to it by nominating Mr. Fields to tbe bench of tbe
District Court of the Uoite-i States in New Jersey.
The New Tork World says of this ou'rage.:
The Administration thus forces upon ttw people of that
State, in tbe capacity of a Judge, j man whom they dis
tinctly reiu3ed to tru9t as a Sector. This outrage npon
thef principles of constitutional government is the
more flsgrant that the rcrsoa so selected to adminis-
ter the Federal laws ot lew Jersey nas signal .au uuu
f elf by tbe most elaborate cssaclt ever made ia the
rspnatp nnnn the grandest law devised by the anns ors
for the protection cf liberty. The last act of Mr. Fields'
Senatorial career was the delivery of a speech defending
the contemptuous suspension by the Executive of the
writ of habeas corpus, and ass'reing tbat the legislative
branch ot the Government has no right to claim any
control over the matter, irueh subserviency in the Sen
ator being a fair presumptive urgumen? of pliancy in
the Judge, the Administration co doubt hopes to find
in Mr. Fields not only a meaoa t f present defiance to
the will, but an instrument of future invasion upon Ihe
rights cf the people of New Jersey.
WbleH li Strongest ?
- Among some it was a lorg question of speculation,
whether or not the old American Union was stronger
than the system of- African slavery that exists in
the Confederate 'Statts. We neer bad a doubt
upon the matter, believing that' slavery was in no dan
ger, but that it wes stronger than any Government ;
not in conflict, but in harmony with the laws of nature
and of God, and the wnnis ot our present civilization,
and must stand. A few there are, perhaps, in the Un -ted
States, who still c'ing to the folly that the Union
may yet be rtutored, wuh slavery destroyed, thu3 prov
ing the Union stronger than slavery ; whili a much lar
ger number entertain ihetqaally absurd id;-a t; at the
Union apd the Coosutuiion may exist again with slavery
more securely recogniz'id and guaran'esd ; and a third
party, despairing ot the Union, are devotiug their whole
energies to the destruction of slavery, regardless of the
cons quences to the slave, to the master, and to the
whole white rec iu the midst of which slavery now se
cunly exists. If, by chtince, or by any combination of
power and clreumstaDtie it were possible to destroy e'a
very, an.l to bring these States in obedience to the
Union, it cauld not be the Uuion of yore ; for that is
forever destroyed, and slavery outlives it. Nor is it
possible ever to restore the Union aud the Constitution
with slavey, for we coa'd ho far forget ourselves and
our enemies, ur suuVri-.gs and their atrocities, could so
far forget our rnatiho d aod our character, and the eter
nal difcCrd that must reign iu sudi Union, as to con
sent to re-union, with a cjnstiiution tnd laws recogniz
ing and. sustaining the slaveholder's rigLt3, the tliicg bus
bvert made an impossibility by the irrevisible action of
the Unit d States Gov rnmeot, by tbe ds'cr-.e of Abra
ham Lincoln.
It becomes the Norih, theii, though! fully to consider
what ace thfj fighting for ? It cannot be to restore the
Union and fr.e Constitution and the slaveholder's rights
as they were, for that has been rendered impossible by
the set ot their own Government. The only purpose
then of continuiug the war must be to subjugate the
South and to destroy slavery. Ihe possibility of ac
complishing anything beyi nd that, has oeen put utterly
out of their power by their own acts. The history of
the pust two years sncuid teacb them that they have
not the physical power to subjugate us, anel tbat sla
very, while mankind exists &s at present, is founded on
a rock, indestructible, stronger than aught but Omnip
otence, lets endaring only than eternity. The real
purpose of those in the United States who brought on
thia w.tr was, ai d is, the destruction of Afticau slave
ry that i3 maoilett now ss the noonday sun, whatever
obscurity rnjy have been thrown afoutid it at the be
ginning. And ia that fell, mad purpose of destruction,
which would uproot society at any ..-ost of labor, which
wcu'd urjcbaiu all the wild papsions cf the uneducated
huoian heart, loose all the fiends 0' hell on unefiending
women a id children, depopulate and desolate whole
States, and leave the hind red with carnage, the fanatic
Puritans have not abated one jot or title. No, they
have become bolder and more outspoken sicce Lincoln's
proc lamation and Wendell Phillips, one of-their a joint
ed leaders, in a late speech to applauding beams, pro
claims th purpose, aud proclaims it as an eterial one,
that they will subdue the South, s they claim a right
to do, that ' the Yankee who comes from Crom ved's
bosom " r.p.vir wilt nu ke peace, that he" wiil fjht his
Naseby eery year te.'ore he is overthrown,". that it is
a contest of two civil. z.itions. end that the Puritan
descendants of the Mayflower's emigrant?, with Ply
mouth rok for a fulcrum End the one idea of universal
freedom, hsvir will ceate war till slavery is overthrown.
Y(s, that is the grand, eternal purpose of Puritan fa
naticism, proclaimed from the house tops by their choaeu
mouth-piece. Thank God ; the ( ecfedet ates are pre
pared ncd preparing for the worst they can do.
With such a proclaimed purpose, how can we ex
pect, or calculate ou, peace ? There can bj no peace
for U3, but the pecc of the grave, unless that purpose
be broken, aod the power of those who entertain it de
stroyed. But do '8 tbe Siini Puritan Fpirit, which, with
a proclamation of freedom of thought and speech to all
mea, seek yet to conform the actions of a different na
tionality to its ideas, by force of arms, pervade the
whole North, or even a majority of its people? - If not,
now is the t:me to speak and act. The war is now
purely an abolition war, and can be nothing else. We
have no fears that it can succeed ; we believe that a
union of the whole North upon the faDaticidea cf New
Bagland would d.velop such a power of re3 stance, such
a tierce valor, such a spirit never to jieid but with life
among our whole p3i pie, as must prove victorious
against all odds. Is tbe whole North ready to yield to
the dictation ot New England roand heads, to wage a
ruth'esa war, a blcody c usada against a neighboring
people, for thj destruction of an institution which is no
concern of their?, for which they a-e not resporsibh?,
which they know only by its effects, and which effx-ts
on themslveB are salutary and beneficial only? But
leaving us out of cocsideration entirely, and our good
will and trade, which they have no right to count on or
expect, and considering only themselves, are they pre
pared tc V.rike hands with the descendants of Cromweh's
loilowers over the grave of their own Constitutional
liberties ? Are they ready to submit to the rnle of
that intolerant, mischievous, peraecutirg spirit, which
has ever distinguished the Puritan in tbe old woild and
the new ? Will they rest for their government that
spirit of fanaticism, which, vaunting freedom, demands
tba surrender cf all individual opinion ,to Its behests,
which mocks permanent good government by opposing
the unbrid!' d license oi majorities against wrktea Con
ulituuoDB af d she aon sacred guaranties aodcompac?s,
wliich d'-throuta na'ure and . revelation to set up the
standard oi its wn ir.fidel imaginings?
Dees it not became the Northern masses to pause and
reflect upon the downward track they ar. following ?
Is it not their interest to refuse longer to be u.-c 1 by
fanaticism sgJnst thisa States, for a purpose impracti
cable cf auaiu litnt, iu the attempt to attain which
their own riguta and liberties are being destroyed, and
which, it attainable, would involve all interests on the
North American Continent in one common ruin ? IT&w
are they to do it ? Eevolution'zs. Withdraw your
armies from the crusade ; and withdraw yourselves from
New Eng'and, and the coursed spirit of intoleranca
and propagandism which actuate thosa psople. A ready
revolutionary iod cations are apparent at the No.th.
Deserters coming into our lines by scores, officers re
signing and regiments throwing down their arms", on
account of the proclamation, and tbe determination of
fanatics to make the blacks their equals, bold, defiant
resolutions by State Legislatures, and speeches by pop
ular leaders, all go to indicate that tbe fires of revolu
tion ore burning beneath tbe surface that the revolt cf
reason against madness is about to bf gin. Let the work
go on ; for whi'e we do not doubt tae power of the
Confederate States to save and maintain themselves and
their iastitutions, we fear there cm be no lasting peace
atd prosperity on the Continent, till tha. fanaticism of
the New England Puritans, indestructible by any hu
man agency save force, shall have been shorn of its
8trcngih and made powerless for evil.

Tbe following significant article which appears in the
Organ of Louis Napoleon, is said to have been written
by the Emperor himself, or, at least, to have been dic
tated in hia bureau :
From La Nation, Jan. lith.J
The crisis in the otton manufacture is acquiring daily
such proportions as ought in France as well as else
where to call upon it the serious meditation of public
ist3, of statesmen and of Governments.
Like the crisis which results from, a deficient crop of
grain, tho crisis in cotton does not give a hope of a
speedy amelioration, founded on the probability of a
better harvest. Ou the contrary, the crisis in cotton
manufacture does not reasonably promise anything but
an aggravation.
Oa tbe one hand, experience proves that the supplies
of cotton furnished by India, Egypt and Algeria are
insufficient ; and on the other, it is manifest tbat the
want of material which has made itself felt thui far bat
ia a few places, will Dot bo long in extending itself to
b 11 tbe others. 4
Tbe question ol knowing how to give work and life
to the numerous workmen in this great industry, places
itself before us, therefore, in all that it possesses of se
riousness. It is a question for tbe serious attention of
ail friends of humanity and of order.
Ia definitive, here are the terms of the problem :
" No other country than America being able for a Ion?
time to come to Turaish the necetsary amount of cotton,
by what reasonable and practicable way may America
be brought to again furnish our supplies ?"
We know of but obe precedent, to speak the Uuth,
which, borrowed from a similar situation, maj be ex
amined and weighed in connection with this one, and
this precedent is the war waged by England against
China in 1841, to force the latter to accept the opium
of India in exebaoge for tea. The English thought,
in the circumstance we now recall, that justice permit
ted them to re-establish, by a military intervention, a
traditional commerce, the interruption of which was
highly pre judical to England and to Europe.
It will be. admitted, without hesitation, that re-estab-
lltafirr.flntnf the commerce of cotton with Ar.:.
present itself. in coneHtions much more coutormut,'. !
