From litter Of nine in industrious mans hog

that the settler became alarmed and loading his gun

the recoil was violent that it threw him several

STOCK OF COTTON IN LIVERPOOL.


The following article from The New York Courier
and Enquirer. relative to the declared stock of Cotton
in Liverpool, we think worthy ofatiention:
The Asias advres disappoint the trade generally.
but produce no effect upon prices. The addition made
to the stock not xpected butthe practice is con-
sdered this side, at least, although sanctioned bv
usage, as very reprehensbIe. 1t has, however sje-
nay failed in The effect desired. We Anticipated il
from the necessity OF The case it evident thai
the stock was running down fast in Liverpoo TO
suit the views OF Manchester and accordingly wrote in
our article, per Europa, December 3lst "Much inte-
rect is ei learn the declared stock Of American co.,

here is vide margin, the estimates here made, ari-
sing solely, however, from the different views enter

We hazard nothing in saying that the supply that
can De ootaned IRON the present crop, will at current
rates, fa snort OF the actual requiem for the con-
sumption oil the world, and feel Also that it is time
that the 70 elgn view of the subject, namely that the
United States must accept millions Of dollars less
for crop OF $4,000 900 1900 900 bales than for one
OF two millions compelling the country after remit.
ting addition thereto her valuable securies in nav.

be made TO turn the balances in our favor.
Suppose for one moment that England occupied the
position now held by the United States in relation TO
the production of cotton and that she was aware that
supplies from her people depended for en-
poyment, and IN fact that it affected the very stability
of our government, what would be her declaration?
Our price is fixed, take it have ii as you please"
We may not yet have the capital in the country to en-

VS. hslsvo Il 10 be well established fact, that
Trade will slways aeek the best market. provided
the cost of reaching it be not excessively heavy.
Richmond, then, being an excellent market, and
Washington no market at all, nobody hereabouts
will feel the slightest alarm upon the completion
of the Orange ard Alexandra Railroad to Cor
louisville. Bat how the construction of this road
is TO inlure VIRGINIA, the News does not tell US.
As to the travel, we confess we entertain some
doubts to the proprety of diverting it from the
Junction; but as to bringing it to Richmond, we
have none. Fredericksburg, we imagine, daily
reaps vast benefits from the travel whired through
Its streets in the cars of the Richmond and Fred
ericksburg Railroad. II so, then in this respect
it is vastly more fortunate than Richmond. That's
all.
"But', says the News, "the most extraordinary
declaration is the desire to see the great South
ern mail carried along this route" Why 80
Would it not be preferable at certain seasons OF
the year to cause it TO be carried over this route,
than to attempt to transport it overland to Frede-
ricksburg in slow coaches, as was the case lately?
The Alexandria Gazette, high authority on ali
subjects upon which it expresses an OPINION
states that the mail over this route can be trans
ported fro m Washington to Richmond in six OF
seven hours. Now uring the late cold spell, il
our recollection serves us, we were as many
days in getting papers and letters from Washing.

case like this, be greatly benefited by seeing "the
great Southern mail carried along this route p
We admit the present mail route possesses the
advantage of being somewhat shorter in point oil
distance, than the newly contemplated route, but
is the Washington mail delivered in Richmond
over the present route in less time than six o,
seven hours daily2 We ask for information. AS
to the fling at the condition of the Central Rail-
| road, that we turn over to the Directors of tha
Road. Col. Fontane, the President, we al
know to be fully equal to the task of putting tina
matter, as we'll as all others connected with the
road, at rest.
Lastly The "News" boldly asserts that the
Legislature of Virginia had no right to give the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad the claim belon
ging to the State. Well, Doctors will differ
We are not disposed now to touch this question
The law-making power surrendered the claim
