LARGE REcEIpTs.-For the time from Satur-
day morning, the 1st, to O'Clock last evening,
there were received si1ty-nine thousand and
eleven bales Of cotton.
THE MAu.s.--Of course it would be an act of
sapererogation for Mr.. Campbelrs contractors
to get mail through in schedule time when,
important correspondence is expected. The for
eign mails by the Atlantic were due yesterday,
but the mail bags failed from beyond Montgom-
ary, Ala, We shall probably be informed next
year there was no failure Of the mail to-day.

B5sEEss.-It continues remarkably active on
all our great thoroughfares. In and about the
cotton presses on the levee, among the ships and
steamboats,, here, there and everywhere, do we
observe the evidences of the gigantic trade
which will forever be secured to New Orleans,
if our property holders will at once commit
themselves to the completion Of eur railroads.
We wish a few of them would take o walk on
the levee about the steamboat landing this eve
ming, between and 5 o'clock; they would smile
at the pigmy attempts Of greatness to be great,
which many Of them go every year to see in
Europe. The great Natchez moves at 5 clock,
and we challenge them to point out its superior,
for all purposes Of freight, travelling and com
| fort, in all Europe or any where northward.
PROUD AMERICAN VIEws.-The Conservative
Wings Of Albany. N Y, recently issued man
| ifesto against the mergement of the Wing party
in the Fusion Abolition party Of that State,
from which we extract the following:
sThat We now as we have always been National
and not Sectional Wings;
That supreme sttachmsnt citizens and Amsri-
the Constitution Of the United States ist es
the fathers Of tho republic framed it, the Union Of
these States just II stands under the Constitution
That we are bound by every sentiment Of nature
and every sacred obligation to defend and maintain the
Constitution and the Union by votes our Influence
our substance, and BY Whatever energies CON-
mand; a& n ~ 935y
| THAT we repel and denounce the attempt recently
made to transfer and associates OF tie National
Wing party Of this State to strange alliance and new
political combination, which is purely sectional in its
character and objects and which 1t or can
lave success boldly the unity and integrity

| Men entertaining such sentiments, belong
rightfully to the American party, and can, con-
sistently, go nowhere else. But, it is very like
ly, as in thousands Of instances in this State,
these very men voted in manner to impair
the strength and efficiency Of the American
organization, In Louisiana, old line Wings de-
feated the American party. We would like tc
see how much they have made by it! And
how they they feel } And what they think oi
| themselves, now the excitement is over'

Bovard, residing near Benton, on the evening Of
