Tho COTTON suppIY.

The London correspondent Of the Bulle-
tin. in bis letter of August 3lst, says, in re-
lation to the supply Of cotton:
This is subject to which public attention IS
every day more and more directed-as Wen II
NAV be, seeing how much is depending on IT,
The supply IN Liverpool viii not more than
meet the ordinary demands in Britain for more
than three months but proposals are now
afoot, and are favorably entertained by most OF
the late firms in the manufacturing districts,
for making this supply last double the time, 0y
reducing the production of goods: Ihis, OF
course, Implies that the mills are only 10 w0rk
half time, and the present intention Is thaI
there shall be no "lighting up during the en-
suing winter. Bad enough, this arrangement
you will allow, but the time IS held 10 De ratheI
favorable for the experiment-seeing that the
markets are already greatly Oyerstocked with
manufactured goods, which it will answer the
purpose of milf owners to reduce. What Is 70
come after is the puzzle; but, on the whole,
Manchester, and people generally, are rather
hopeful. India is moving heaven and earth 20
compass the trade. Manchester IS liberal IN
its announcements to agents, and the Govern
ment is not less liberal IN attording every
facility for the development of our Eastern re-
sources; while Africa, the West Indies, and
Egypt are encouraged to strain every nerve:
This is simple self-preservation on the part OF
Britain, however unpleasant it may be for both
North and South even now; how much more
unpleasant it will be when war is over, need not
be said.
A reduction Of one.half the consumption
of cotton, does not imply that the mills are
only TO work half the time, as the writer
supposes. The mills cannot be kept rum
ming on BALI time to advantage. The spin
ners Gao, however, keep their full number
of operatives employed three-fourths of
the time without stopping the mills; and
then, by raising the numbers, aud increas-
ing the fineness of the cloth, the consump-
ton OF cotton would be reduced another
fourth-making reduction Of one-balf the
consumption, while the operatives are
working three.fourths Of the time. 1t is
estimated that there is now three months
supply in the English ports, and twice as
much more on the ocean and this can be
made to last for eighteen months without
producing any serious interruption OF the
manufacturing interests.

The DIstrlet JudgeshIp.

The Journal eDdeavors to show that the
Governor is under some obligation to ap-
point Mcfarland District Judge, because
he was elected to tbs Office according to
law. We have very serious doubts as to
whether the late election, so far as District
Judge is concerned, was legal. The law,
wa are told, provides that "in case Of a va.
cancy in the Office Of District Judge, the
Governor shall Gil the same by granting a
commission which shall contiue until the
election and qualification Of Judge IN bis
place." 1t also provides, that, ''at the first
general election subsefuent to the occur
renee of the vacancy Judge shall be elect
ed, who shall qualify aud enter upon the
duties Of bis Office on the FIRST day Of Janu-
ary subsequent TO his election, and shall
hold his Office for the term OF six years.
If The Solon Of the Journal will substitute
the word @priOr" for subsequent" where
ever the latter word occurs in the law, per-
haps he will make it read to suit his case,
The act which controls in this case will be
found in the Statutes Of 1860, page n, the
same The Journal referred to In former
article on the same subject.
We take it that the Governor was right
in not issuing proclamation for the elec-
ton of Judge of The l4th District, and
that .he last race WAS only q training OF
candidates for next year.

RUMoR CORRECTED.-The rumor mention
ed In the New York Herald, that Secretary
Wells had written to bis brother-In-law,
Geo. D. Morgan, for ten thousand horses to
supply the twenty new gun-bOAis, Of FIVE
hundred horsepower each, ordered by the
Government, is pronounced incorrect by
acting Secretary Fox. It does not appear
that the horses were actually contracted
for; while the anxiety as to where 30 many
could be got on short notice, to say nothing
of the difficulty of getting bay and eats to
feed them, was very natural.

NORTH CARoLINA.-The Confederates in
North Carolina are becoming alarmed for
the safety Of their coast towns, and are de-
manding that leps attention shall be be-
slowed on Virginia, and more on their own
State, Late advlcel from Wilmington and
Beaufort state that the Federal feet has
been threatening those places, and the in
habitants are Apprehensive Of an attack.
Wilmington is defended by Fort Macon, and
Beaufort by Fort Caswell--bo.A granite
easemAie forts, but with small garrisons,
and unsupported By neighbOring works. 1t
is not improbable that the naval expeditions
now being fitted ont are intended for the
reduction Of these places.

THOSE MUsKETs.-We clip the following
from among the selected items in yester-
days Marysville Express:
Certain papers who year ago were glorify-
ing Adjutant Gen. Kibbe for succeeding, after
strenuous efforts, in persuading the Govern
ment to send out 50,0 600 stand of arms to Cali
fornia, are now abusing the Buchanan Admin
istration Tor sending them.
We we're a constant reader Of nearly all
the papers Of the State during the entire
period Of Buchanan's term, and do not re-
member of having seen any reference to
10000 stand Of arms being semitic Califor-
mia. until $4,000 Of them we're on their way
back. Certain it is, they could not have
been sent TO this coast for any honest pur-
pose. There was no use for such quantity
of arms here, unless II was FlOyd's design
to place them where they could be seized by
seee.iOnists, and used TO help along Ihe
rebellion,

THE Morton OF CANNoN BALL.-The
latitude of New York City il 400 AZ 4V {;
and as the degrees Of longitude diminish in
length from the equator to The poles, the
length Of a degree Of longitude here is
about 52l miles, or more nearly, suS 227,-
ESQ feet. AS the earth turns on rs axis
once in "a hours il carries everything on
its surface, from West to East, to the dis
taRee Of one degree in four minutes: so
that the city Of New York, with everything
else in this latitude, is constantly running
rOnnd towards the East at the rate of about
IL miles a minute, or, more accurately,
l, i55 feet 10 a second. Now, this is just
about the velocity of an ordinary cannon
ball. Hence, il cannon in this latitude is
fred when pointing exactly West at fort,
the. ball is simply stopped in its eastern
motloh-the cannon runs away from it and
The fort comes mp against the ball with a

The ball in relation to the dinrnal rotation
of the earth ; if we attempted to ascertain
The absolute motion Of the ball, considering
the motion Of the earth in its revolution
round the san, and the motion OF the sun
among the stars, we should find the prob.
lem not only very complicated, but abso-
lntely insOluble in the present state of as.

bic to conceive that we ever can have such
knowledge Of tAe universe as to enable us
to determine the absolute motion of the sun
