The cotton market was rather soft yesterday for
inferior and middling grades, while good midding
and fair qualities were rather easier, and were quite
steady. The sales embraced about 800 to 1000
bales. Dealers were a~nxiously awaiting the receipt
Of private letters by the Asia. Flour was rather
easier for inferior and common grades, while choice
and extra brands were without change. Provisions
were unchanged. Prime white Michigan whea. sold
a. 50 40. Corn was dull, with little Offering.
With tie exception Of some lots of provisions, naval
stores and cotton, there was little produce engaged
for shipment to England.

Fey We understand that the Eueniny Star
of this city, during the last four weeks, whilst
we have been either sick in bed, or absent
from the city, has INDUCED largely In Billings
gate, blackguardism, and contemplate sar-
casms, towards the editor of the Organ. We
have seen none Of the articles referred to, OK
cept one of Tuesday last, in which that press
copied a portion Of the "Satanic's" assault
upon US, and one of yesterday, under the head
of The Model Southern Journal" In re-
lation to the Satanic" it would not have
been inappropriate, when the Star was en-
dorsing the views Of the "Satanic" towards
the Organ, lift had republished and endorsed
also the sentiments Of that paper, towards what
it then called the White-House ScGDenger,"
upon which it bestowed some other rather
coarse and vulgar epithets, and for which in
return, like "a whipped dog" the Star now
ticks the hand by which it was smitten
In relation to the article Of yesterday, we
have simply to say, that more malicious, men
dacious, and shameless libel upon our opinions
and political course was never written. This
is probably the last time we shall ever allude
in our paper, directly or indirectly, to the Eoen-
ing Star, and we trust that our intelligent and
respectable readers will appreciate our deter
mination

A CARD.

II Is with reluctance find myself In situation
which seems 10 call on me to intrude upon the
public attention. Until last Monday held the
humble situation Of Waterman, under the Secretary
Of the Navy. Although a Wing in my political
principles, had not been, removed by the Secre-
tary until this time, when some one informed him
WIS Native American. In fact the rule in the
Navy Department, has been very uniformly OPP
posed to the removal ofincumbents In the inferior
stations. The manner In which received the place
held, shows the fact. Under the last Wing sd-
ministration, Ignatius Lucas held two Offices viz
messenger and watchman, although he was Dem
ocrat The Wing Secretary would not remove
him, but in pursuance oflaw, took one Of bis Offices
and gave Il TO me.
Lucas was allowed TO retain the highest Office,
although opposed TO the administration.
Desiring to learn the cause Of my expulsion !
called on Mr. Dobbin, who at first said Il was not
customary to give reasons for removals. but at last
said / was Wing. replied that this was the
FIRST time any Waterman had ever been removed
from the Navy Department for such cause. He
then said he had been informed was Know
Nothing; and he had It from good authority that
had taken an active part In the late city election
on that side, but declined giving the names Of his
informes And no our interview ended. OF this
affair, however, more hereafter.

The New Orleans Delta, a Democratic jour
nal thus refers to the recent election in Vir-

But there Is one obvious and fatal mistake which
the reuvenescent party should avoid T ey must
not ifthey hope for political salvation, mistake the
victory of Wise for the victory of the administra-
ton They must not coniound Richmond with
Washington, for there is nothing in common be-
tween them The Old Dominion In the recent
struggle was consistent with her own past and not
with the present Of the kitchen Cabinet. She was
true TO Monticello, not to the White House-to
Thomas jefferson, not to Franklin Pierce. In her
triumph, not only Flournoy was COMPOUNDED, but
Marcy and his myrmidons. These facts are particu-
larly important just now when the Cabinet organs
are inclined 10 claim the result Of the election as
the success Of the administration. and TO commit
the Democratic party irrevocably TO the policy
which has disgraced II abroad and at home. Vir-
ginia fought for principle, not for ptunder, and
will leave the" cohesive power" Of the latter such
as Il is| to the safe keeping of Mr.. Pierce.
