CHARLESTON CORRESPONDENCE
CHARLESTON, May 10, 1855.

Mr.. Editor -
Only some five hundred
bales of Cotton We're sold in this city on
yesterday, at prices varving from o to / | cts,
most sales were effected at .lo4. I would
advise farmers, in the country, to dispose of
their cotton without delay. So long as the
war continues In Europe, we have every
reason to believe cotton will'recede, instead
of advancing in price. We also have cyery
reason TO believe, that the war will be con.
tinued for some time yet England and
France could not cense hostilities unless
Russia made some concession. and so long
as Russia has the advantage, so long rs
Russia remains succcssful, she will male
no concession; she would be unwise to do
so.
Louis Napoleon. the present emperor of
France, now that he has returned to his do
minions. from his visit to Queen Victoria's
Court, will, no doubt, rack his brain. 10 pro-
vide some means to bring Russia to terms,
or annihilate her. The burning Of Moscow,
the defeat and sufferings OF his uncle, stick
in him, and verify believe, IL he thought his
life would be the forfeit, he would not scru.
pie to lay il down, in order 10 revenge the
indignities heaped upon Napoleon Bona
parte.
We have warm weather here now, but

Our citizens have been much interested
lately. by the lectures delivered by n Mr..
Miiburn, blind Preacher. He certainly

be delivered tonight. at Hibcrnian Hall.

that every sack had been shaken. On
Tuesday, however, along came one hum
dred thousand bushels-sixty thousand

that the country though apparently drain
