and other Matters

The following is an extract from prl-
yate letter to the editor OF the New York
Times dated Jackson, Miss. June 4th.-
It gives credence to pretty large stories
but is interesting, and has valuable infor-
nation:
You will, no doubt, get nay important
information from this quarter CARRIER than
L could give it to you; but | may as we'll
give YOU the current Cuba rumors. They
say IN the BARRIERS shop that Gen. Quit
man and staff are now at New Orleans !;
that they have all the forces enlisted which
they deem to be necessary; that two ships
with arms and ammunition have been for
some time in the Gulf, and 100000 have
been obtained; that many merchants and
wealthy men in New ORLEANS, who have
hitherto held aloof, now favor the enter
prise, and will give it their support. 1t
had been decided, says man who came
from New Orleans this morning, to do
nothing until 100000 had been proce-
red, that Gen. Quitman and another have
about concluded to mortgage their panta-
tsonsto make up the sumimmediately. Soule
has exceeded his instructions, no doubt, it
is thought By agreement, in order in some
way to further the plan.
You would be surprised to know how
general, ameng the planters Louisiana and
Mississippi, is in the sympathy with Russia
and the hostility to England. 1t is the
general impression that England has Ill
terror designs; that she would never have
engaged in war with Russia merely topro-
test Turkey Or sustain balance Of power
Great apprehensions are had that a protrac-
ted European war will be ruinous to South
ern interests reducing those staples Of which
the planters are sellers, and raising the
cost of those Of which they are purchas-
|ers.
The cotton crop for this year has bad
start is Mississippi, owing to the late frosts
and an unusual continuance Of rainy wealth
or
