SHIP FOR Olive learn from good authority,
that the ship Raduya may be looked for here about
the fifth of November, and if sufficient inducement
offers, will be laid on the berth for An oil and bone
freight to the United States. 1t may be that We are
9 played OUT as q place Of resort for ~whalemen, but
it is rather poor policy to show our hand so plainly
as we have done, in the fact Of having no vessel here,
to take oil and bone ready for shipment. 1t may
have been a risk to have chartered a vessel for the
venture, during the summer, but every merchant
knows, or ought to. that no operation is ever entered
into without some attendant risk.

Salt for tho Throat.

In these days, when the diseases of the throa
are SO universally prevalent aud so many cases
are fatal, we feel it duty tesay a word in be-
half Of simple, and what has been with us
most efectual preventive if not positive
cure of sore throat.
For many years past indeed, we m " say da-
ring life Of more than forty years, we have
been Suhjf eted to sore throat aud more par
ticularly 10 a dry, hacking cough, which is not
only distressing to ourseIf but TO our friends
and those with whom we are frequently brougt
into business contact. p
LAST fall we were induced TO try What virtue
there Was in common salt. We commented BY
using it three Zines day, morning, mon aud
night. We dissolved large tablespoonful of
the pure table salt in about half of asmall tum-
bier full ofcold water With this we gargled the
threat most thotoughly jast befure each meal
time. The result has been, that during the er-
tire HInler we were not only free from the usu-
al disagreeabe coughs and colds to which SO
far as our mcmary extends, we have always
been subject, but the dry, hacking cough has
entirely disappeared.
We attribute the satisfactory results solely to
the use of the salt gargle, aud most cordial
ly reccomend a trial OF it to those who are sub
ject to disease Of the throat.
Many persons who haze never tried The salt
gargl, have an impression that it i5 unpleasant.
Such is not the case. On the contrary, it is
pleasant and after few days use, no person
who loves nice, clean mouth, and frst rate
sharpener of the appetite will abandon it

Bread VS.. Cotton.

The sovereignty of cotton certainly appears
TO be disputed by corn at this moment in re-
markably direct competition. England and
France, as we have been told for months moy
be sorely tempted TO intervene in our affairs by
their urgent want o. cotton, it happens, how
ever, that while We have been fighting, and
harvesting the while a magnificent crop OF
breadstufs England and France have sudden
ly found an enormous deficiency of grain star
iLg them in the face. OF the two, cotton can
probably be spared more easily than bread
At all events, it now happens that whenever
either Of these Powers is tempted 10 consider
whether the law of nations and peace might
not be advantageousIy bartered for cotton, it
has also to consider whether it wishes to ex-
change a dearth of cotton alone for learth of
cotton and bread.
We state the alternate in this form advis
edly. America is not the only quarter whence
our European friends can supply themselves
with food, but it is perhaps the most important
source to which they now resort, and has a vast
influence upon prices in their markets. 1t is
so important a source for them that they talk
of drawing from it nearly three million bushels
per week for year Wemay safely say, then,
that an interruption of our exports by hostili-
ties would have the most disastrous effect for
them. Il would Illustrate those nice calcula-
tions, by which III France the GoTerbuent reg
ulates prices so as to steer clear Of revolution
and it would expose England to dangers, not e.
quaIlv great perhaps. but yet sufficiently appalI
ing. And. at the same time the war which shotld
interrupt our exports OF breadstuffs would not
insure England and France their supply of cot
ton. With the ocean swarmibg with our pri-
vate armed ships, whether under the name oil
privateers or Of sea militia, it would be vain
to look for the regular supply OF cotton. In
co way could the shipment of the crop be kept
up in a naval war in which the United States
sought to prevent its reaching market We
say, therefore, that the question for the Europ-
can Powers as TO u Nar with this country is
simply whether they prefer to lack cotton or
to lack both cotton and bread.
For this year then, at any rate, it seems to
US that the question Of peace is settled, even if
no higher considerations are to enter into Eu~
ropean counselS than these which we name
We do not believe the European Powers to be
in Il position to play the desperate game as
cribed to them, even if they arc capable of it,
which we are far from willing to suPpose.-
Providence has not only smiled upon us SO far
as 10 give US the means of domestic prosperity
and comfort while carrying on this Struggle,
but has by the same agency insured US TO
great degree frJ external interference from
the only quarter whence it was to be expected.
1t is for us now to see to it that this opportu-
nifty is vigorously improved, and that as the
pressure which now constrains our powerful
friends abroad is removed, so the temptation
which may urge them to recognize the South
as an Independent Power is removed also

ia r.seeing. As heretofore constituted, the
States, though able to repel any Invasion in
thseleng run, were perfectly harmless as 10
foreign war. They might trouble nation like
Mexico; but they had no army, no navy, for
which military power need care in the least.
They could not invade aitything, except where.
as in Mexico, there was nobody worth naming
to defend. But if two rival nations be formed,
both must be military powers, both must be
naval powers. The one would border on our
North American, the other on our West Indi-
an possessions. The one will desire Canada
the other must have the West Indies. In Eu
rope, France and Russia force us to keep up
ruinously costly ornaments; and were two
great military States placed on OAR transatlan-
tic frontiers, we must prepare for new scale
of armament, and for new and frequent uses
for our arms.
1AxshaHs; then, no hesitation iu wishing on
grounds of policy what is right on grounds Of
principle, that our American friends may see
their preset tr0ubles as happily ended, as those
have been which in past times arrayed the diff
ferent parts Of this really tinted Kingdom in
deadly conflict If asked whether we expect
it, cur reply is that We hardly know. The war
is only begun; and we do not pretend so see its
end. Many seem to think lhIta We k or two
is long time in such struggle. We fear
that year or two may Pass before ony one Is
entitled to form decided opinions as TO how il
may turn. But uncertainty as to the issue is
only an additional reason for honest men to
say what they desire; I'd our fervent desire Il
to see the South utterly vanquished.

rsststiihs sfowing-Landu in Autumn.

JOHN obrston, who is thoroughly posted on

The seepter Of King cottsn.

All advices from England confirm the in
tcnseness with which the British public is seek
ing, by every means that money can command,
to render that country independent of the
United States for supply of the great staple
which is the ife-blood of her vast industry !;
and the Investigations that have followed have
disclosed facts hot within our knowledge, and
which we presume were known to but few per-
sons in our country.
The leading industrial organ of England in
a recent article on the subject of the cotton
supply, stated the remarkable fact that not
only full supply of cotton could be obtained
from India. if transportation in that country
we're equal to its capacity for the production
Of the article, but that when the system of
railroads reaching to the interior districts of
that extensive empire now in ripiG construc
lion, should be completed, 1Hdia would be able
to supply an amount not only greater than
what she has heretofore produced, but equal to
that and the entire United States product to-
gethcr.
Iint the vast and fertile plains of India will
not alone compete for the supply, the monopo
Iy of which has hitherto enriched the Southern
States Of our once happy Union. Other coun-
tries, with equal fertility to our own, with equal
climate and cheaper labor, will enter the field
Of competition. until the markets of the Enro-
pcan world will be fully stpplied from new
regions, and our own domestic market be the
only one left for our native production.
Cotton. 4 IS trte, may still be king, but the
crown and the scepter will have departed from
our country. Is this loss of II monopoly which
has so greatly enriched our Southern States TO
furnish n great lesson of retribH1ive punish
ment for the blunder, to say nothing Of the
wickedness, Of their insane attempt to destroy
the bonds of union and overthrow their Gov
ernment? The folly of the act and its uniusti'
ableness have no parallel in history. Nations
before us have had civil wars contending dy
nnsties and rivals for thrones have plunged
their countries in the horrors Of fraternal bat
tie; but for civilized people, intelligent and
prosperous, brethren of common ancestry.
and dwelling together in unity, to rise up and
attempt national suicide, is a phenomenon in
the moral world, and without example in the
history Of mankind.-National HiteHigcncer.

Change of Tone of the British Press.

Sn2nSe OF SOuS OF Lne Gr1S2Sa %re58s
Late dispatches from England show that ii
marked change has taken place in the tone OF
the British press on American affairs. The
declaration of the London Times that England
will rather undergo much suffering than break
the plain rulcs OF international law, is a sig
ni6cant feature The London Post (Pamers-
toms organ) has also become aware that Brit
ish interference in American affairs, instead Of
procuring supply Of cotton would postpone
it indefinitely and that recognition of the
rebel Government would merely complicate the
difficulties The Times says that for England
to break our blockade would stain her reputa-
tion and she will not do such an act even to
save her greatest manufactures.
The remark of the Times, that it is not
unlikely that the moment the drain of specie
commences, the financial community of Amer
ica will have its Bull Rum is made without
due consideration of the state of trade between
this country and Europe. The conditions must
change greatly before any drain of specie will
begin. So long as our exports exceed our i'm
ports, il is more likely that We shall draw spe-
Gle from abroad than that we shall be subject
to any depletion. 7 he idea Of the Times i
founded on an exceptional and temporary state
of affairs, which has passed away. When the
Government made variation, or modification
in the confseatioh Act, and began 10 seize
Southern deposits in the Eastern banks, the
bankers began to remit TO E1ropc.--
This created a sudden demand for exchange,
that RAISED the rate to lO9, which is near the
specie point. The imes anticipated that
this advance would continue, and the shipment
Of specie begin Oh the contrary, another
''mOdfcation"' on the part of the Government
ordered the exemption Of these deposits, and
the rate OF exchange has declined considerably
below the specie shipping point. There is no
probability Of any change against us until some
great change in the conditions of trade takes
place.
