HOPE AN ETERNAL PRINc1pLE.-Hope
n the connecting link between the past ane
the future. 1t is constant prophet, save
that it always dresses out events to come ir
a gaudy hue, which fade and blackens when
the shoals oftime brings us to the consumma-
tion. Were it not for this earnest of the
future, this principle implanted in the breast
of man, he would have nothing toinduce him
to drag out a miserable existence. Never
is hope SO wild and imaginative and we may
say, SO deceitful as in youth; never 50 sober,
30 true, SO stable, as in age.
Although hope is often delusive, yet, in the
greatest misery, the least Pickering ray Of
sunshine peering into the caverns of the
heart, revives the dropping soul, and excites
action, as when some precious gem, under
the sun s beam, flashes its radiance round the
darkened cell, and springs into multiplied
existence.
Hope is an eternal principle. Though in
the last strait, man never ceases to hope;
when the spark Of life departs, it flies!

OF We learn from the Vicksburg Wing
Of Tuesday last, that Gov. Brown received
ga request from Major General Gaines 10
forward two or three batlRIions to be muster.
ed into service at New Orleans, and sent to
the aid Of Gen. Taylor.
Gov. Brown did not feel authorized to
comply with this request, because be had
been advised by the War Department that
Gen. Taylor would make demand if ne.
cesSary, and the Governor thinks that Gen.
Taylor understands his position, and having
authority from the War Department, will
make a call whnever be needs the aid OF
this State. In anticipation Of requiSitior
being made, the Governor has ordered the
Colonies Of the various. regiments in the
State to have the MALTA enrolled so that In
event Of a draft all will stand on an eouali.
y, and he will be able to supply the demand
promptly"

NEW ORLEANS MARKET.

CoTToN--In our review of Tuesday last, we
stated that a considerable amount Of business had
been transacted in Cotton, at the commencement
of the week, leaving the market tolerably steady
at our quoted prices. Wednesdays mail brought
the accounts per Great Western, which had all
ready been anticipated by private express on the
day preceding. These advices TO which allusiOn
was made day or two since, are more encourag-
ing for Cotton, the Liverpool market having ex.
peTienced an improvement Of I'D. with sales OF
10000 bales, for the week ending the 9th April
The transactions on Wednesday amounted 10
$500 bales: yesterday they reached 5000; and
to-day 5000; making the total business OF the
week 81, 500 bales.
The deficiency in the receipts OF all the ports
as compared with this period last year, amounts
to 1868 bales.
