America BuyIps Ease India CottOn.

The London Star and Dial, Of the 10th
ult, makes some curious disclosures in re-
gard TO the purchase of East India cotton for
American mills. Says the Star;
Itis stated that the account of fifteen thou
sand bales of Surat cotton having been ship
ped from Liverpool to New York is incor-
rect; but it is asserted that such quantity
of East India cotton has been bought, and is
now held III this country on American ac-
count, to ba disposed of according to circum-
stances. It win be strange if America be-
comes purchaser of East ludia cotton in
the British market; but few things are more
likely in the event of prolongation of the
present unhappy war.
As to the effect of such purchase, to-
gether with the failure of the American crop,
upon English mills, the Star adds:
Any competition for supplies will be Sc.
verely felt in Lancashire, though the actual
demand from America may be very limited.
In the mean time the advance price of the
raw material at Liverpool, and the difficulty
or the impossibility Of the Lancashire spin
ners and manufacturers obtaining corre-
spending prices for their yarns and goods,
has in the last few days strengthened the
conviction of the necessity for, generally
placing the factories upon short time. 1t is
better 10 suffer little present inconvenience
than to incur the risk of certain disaster in
the future, though the immediate conse-
auence may be to reduce the traffic of various
railways.
The Star further informs US that adopting
this conviction the manufacturers of Bacup
are working only four days in week, while
Burnley, Blackburn, Church, Preston and
several other cotton towns of Lancashire are
largely following their example.

MeaRher.

The Boston Journal has the following let
ter from the great Irish patriot:
HEADQUARTERS IRISH BRIGADE,
665, Broadway, September, IL, 1861.
"My Dear Treanor: / have this moment
sent you word by the wires that, very preb
ably / shall send you the name of Colonel
tomorrow. In the meanwhile work away
like trooper, and mind what l urged upon
you-don't enlist any but decent intelligent,
steady and brave young fellows-no rowdies,
no loafers, no broken down political hacks
and hirelings for Gods sake, and the sake of
the country We are getting on gloriousy
here. Within fortnight our three regi-
ments-one of them being regiment of fly
ing artillery-will be complete. | have tele-
graphed to my friend Sergeant Tom 0Neill,
requesting and authorizing him to raise a

THE BRITIsH MERCANTILE STEAM FLEET.-
The steam feet of Great Britain has con.
tributed incalculablysto her pre-. eminence as
a commercial nation. Indeed, few have any
adequate conception Of the rapid growth of
this important Interest, or the extent already
attained. 1t appears from an official return
that at the commencement of the present
year l,945 steamers were registered in the
United Kingdom, of gross burden of $685.
All tuns, being an increase of 50 vessels and
10 904 tuns, as compared with the CORE
spending date of 1860. The number of pad
pie steamers was l,342; of screws, col. AS
regards tie materials of which they were
constructed, e60 were built Of wood, 1850 Of
iron and Eve of STEEL OF the whole mum.
ber of steamships El5 are owned in London
and 2l4 in Liverpool. The scale of opera
tions entered upon by some of the leading
steamship companies Of England is enormous
First, in Importance, as concerns the United
States, is the "CunaId fleet" comprising no
less than thirty large steamers, averaging
not far from 1000 tuns. The largest of these
is the new steamer "Scotia," which measures
1000 tuns, and three more powerful ships
will soon be added. .

JeG Thompson Appeals for HeIp.

The following appeal for JEFF Thompson,
is dated at Camp Hunter, Scott County, Mis-
souri,, August 2sth.
"The Missouri troops now in the field in
defense of their homes and the independence
of their State, against the Lincoln tyranny,
are in want of many things almost indispen-
sable to their health and efficiency. Lieu
tenant Colonel N. H. Moore, quarter master
ofGeneral Thompsons brigade, Missouri State
Guard, is about to visit Memphis to procure
supplies, clothing and other necessities for
our soldiers.
His Quarter-master says:
"Many of Us were driven from our homes
to the woods, and had to take the field with
out preparation. Our companies, battalions
and regiments have been formed since we
entered into the active service of the State
Transportation was procured while on the
march. Subsistence and forage has been
gathered from day to day. Some of our men
got away from the minions of the despot
Lincoln, with a change of clothing and
blankets; others with only what they had
upon their persons at the time.
"By the generosity of the Confederate
States Government we have, within o few
| days, been supplied with tents and cooking
utensils, sufficient to meet our present need.
Our clothing, also, the same generous hand
has furnished us enough to meet the pressing
and absolute wants Of the neediest of our
men at the present time. But there are yet
deficiencies that we can not at present sup
ply for ourselves.
"The Hessians have possession of our cite;
and more pOpulous townsj we are cut of
from supplies except from the South, and the
immediate neighborhood Of our army. Every
available article in southeast Missouri, south
of Cape Girardeau, has been procured tC
meet the demands of our men, and yet they
are in need. Hence this appeal to the gener
osity Of our Southern brothers and sisters"

AN EARrBQuAKn AT THE souTH.-The

Memphis Appeal of September g. says:
We have portents in the heavens above
and on the earth beneath few weeks ago
comet blazed in the skies, and we learn
from the Knoxville, (Tenn.) Register, that
on Saturday last, an earthquake shook the
everlasting hills. That paper says "Our
citizens were startled by r heavy shock Of
an earthquake, which commenced few mo-
ments before five clock, accompanied by a
rumbling noise, and shaking the houses to a
degree that in some places caused uncomfort-
able apprehensions. The shock created quite
a consternation in the camps in this vicinity,
startling the slumbering soldiers to their feet.
A gentleman from Camp Cummings who
was lying upon the ground, and, therefore,
had an excellent opportunity for experience
ing its effects, informs as that there were
three distinct oscillations. Opinions vary as
to the duration of the shock, some asserting
that it lasted two minutes, while others think
it was not more than half minute, and
others again, state it to have been ABOUT one
minute. All agree, however, that it was the
aeverest shock of an earthquake that has
ever been felt here"
