AL.\RGE quantity of cotton and LINEN RAGS, for which fair prices will be paid. the position that Kentucky would occupy, by two of the members ot the late Seceding Convention of Mississippi, returning by this point to their homes on the Mississippi River. I answered that “I thought Kentucky would adhere to the Union." The reply was “Then we will drag her out, and Maryland, and Virginia, and North Carolina, and Tennessee, all, if it be necessary.” “How will you do so?” was the demand. “All of these States have declared that coer cion should not be used towards the Seceding States. We will make a demonstration against Fort Sumter and Fort Pickens. At the first shot we will cry ‘coercion,’ and, at the first cry of co ercion, we shall have all those States.” This will be the game, mark the prediction.” Char the Track.—Every day we are more gravely and fully impressed that it is the people alone who can save this Union. Those whom we have sent to represent us were : generally elected to represent some particular lit tle i'action or interest, and now, when a crisis has arrived, not contemplated at the time of'their elec tion, they are confessedly unetjual to the task ini- po.sed upon them. While l>oaglas and Critten den are capable of rising above party considera- tioii.'^ and empty abstractions, above particular the ories, which they may liave held, and act for the best in this alarming emergency—the others are bound down to the petty little schemes and opinions, which from passion or prejudice, raised them to their present position. It is not that they do not know what is right, but they fear to do it. They fear on account of a mere self-love, lest some one should charge such petty nonentities with inconsistency.—Richmond Whig. One of the most noticeable results of the Vir ginia election is the entire disregard of party ties that has been shown by the people of the State. They have utterly refused to apply the test of party to a question that belonged to the preserva tion of the Union and its institutions. The Lynchburg Virginian says: “Halifax is]the largest slaveholding county in the State, ha^ always been Democratic, and gave Breckinridge over Bell a majority of 749 votes; and yet it has elected sound conservative men—Hon. Thos. S. Flournoy and James C. Bruce, Esq., old Whigs—to the Convention.” The Flag of the Union Still Flying in North Alabama.—The working men of the town of Athens, Alabama, as we learn from a letter writ ten there on the *29th January, and published in the Na.shville Democrat, met in the Public Square on Saturday night last, and “fired thirty-three guns for the Union and that flag that still waves at the Court House, our enemies at Montgomery and Disunionists everywhere notwithstanding.” they then paid a visit to Gen. Houston, who had just returned from Wa.shington, where he has many years represented the Athens (Ala.) District in the House. The Nashville Democrat’s corres pondent says: The General received the Union men in his usual happy style. He hopes that this glorious Union may still be preserved by the working U- nion men, and that they may still work in the Union, and find plenty of brave hearts and willing hands to help in every time of need. On taking leave of the General, he was saluted with a volley of musketry and three cheers for the Union. Unhappy Mexico.—It doesseem as if the Mexi can people were wholly unable to profit by expe rience. A most disastrous civil war, lasting through three years, and attended with almost every disorder usually following in the wake of civil strife, has j ust been brought to a brilliant close by those who claim to be the champions of order and liberal ideas, and yet, almost in the very hour of victory, the victors stand arrayed against each other. Questions of minor policy distract their councils ere one single substantial measure of gen eral welfare is even broached. “Puros” and “Mo- derados” contend with each other to the verge almost of actual hostilities, and this, too, while their enemy is still in the country. According to the latest advices, the course advocated by the “Moderados,” which was banishment of Miramon and his adherents, was likely to prevail.

MITCHELL. The Undersigned having duriiig the past summer heard many express a wish that a monument should be plac«*d over the grave of Rev. Dr. Mitchell, upnn the High Peak of the Black Mountain, and regret thit it had not already been done, has determined to give his personal attention to the matter, aud trusts that, by the aid of the thousands of pupils and friends of th it venerable man, he may be enabled to erect it. The undersigned proposes to erect a plain, substan tial structure, with the rock found on the spot, and to build it in such a manner that it may also be used as an Observatory. He pledges himself to all contributors that no pains shall be sparel upon his part to have the structure firm, and a fit monument to one. whose monil. The Supply nf Cotton.—All accounts from England agree that the British manufacturers are greatly excited and alarmed lest the supply of cotton should Fail them from America, “(’otton ‘ilupply Associations” have been formed for the purpose of encouraging the cultivation of that plant in India, Australia, Africa, and elsewhere. The London papers report that an immense meet ing was held at Manche.ster, January 22d, with reference to the supply of cotton. Among the I resolutions adopted, one called for the raising of a million pounds sterling for the purpose in view. The utmost determination was evinced by the as- i sembleci multitude, which comprised a large pro portion of the capital of the county of Lancashire, to meet the eiiiorgency by endeavoring to make Great Hritain independent of American grown cotton. At flaverhill, Massachusetts, twenty-five per sons, with certain machinery, produce six hundred pairs of babies shoes daily. All the stitching is done by sewing machines run by steam—a com bination of the two'greatest mechanical inventions.

I Means will be taken to preserve the names of those who contribute. The undersigned is determined that the monument shall be erected if any amount near suf ficient is obtained. Kemp P. Battle, Esij., of Raleigh, will receive con tributions, and Messrs. Litchford and Finch, reporters in the House and Senate of the Legislature will receive any contributions from members of thofle bodies. Let ters addressed to me containing contributions will be promptly acknowledged. HENRY E. COLTON. W'ilmington, J’ C in«r the foot, is performed by machinery. One of the greatest curiosities is the pegging machine, which inserts the awl, cuts out the pegs from a strip of wood, and drives them in all at one opera tion, and so rapidly that it will peg two rows around the sole of a shoe in twenty seconds.

The papers report that the Scheldt has been frozen over at Antwerp for the first time in forty years. The valleys of the principal Drench rivers, inundated and frozen, present the appearance of vast ice-bound lakes. An immense number of rats that infested the river banks have been killed by the frost—a de- _ liverance which, however welcome to the farmers, AlinanaCM lor 1861—Second sup- scarcely compensate for the enormous injury ply jBSt reoeired.
