No daily yituperation can make Europe believe

that comparatively few Of either the one or the

New Policy of the Conrcdernte-.

A correspondent from the rebel clptll to the
New Orleans Crescent diSclose', apparently the
secret Of the new military movements, in the
alleged fact that the design of the Government
TO carry the war into the cotton states is per-
ceived and acted upon by the rebels, while a
party in their so-called cabinet urge that San
attack upon and the destruction of the capital
would thoroughly arouse the North, AMI would
speedily heal up the discussions which as they
Aa,ter themselvesl have grown up and are still
increasing among the people, upon the necessity
of peace or further prosecution of the war.
Tn, true policy is to await the action of the
French and English Governments, that our
difficulties may be arranged without further eli
fusion Of blood
1t is likely enough that this writer was well
informed in his statements, and that the Fabian
or Micawber policy, or whatever 1t IL, has pro
vailed in the councils Of treason.

A Northern Cotton Tree.

The Comm 'rcidl Advertise yesterday an
nounced an alleged valuable developement o
the Gosrpium ArJoreuH, or Peruvian cotton
tree, effected by Mr.. K. G. KESDALL on his
fam in Northern Msry land. 1t is stated that
in its general qualities the fibre of the plant cul
tivatsd by Mr.. KENpALL has been pronounced
by cotton brokers equal to the best Sea Island
variety.
1t seems that Mr.. KENDALL spent several
yeats in South America, and while exploring
the country in the region Of the Andes, and not
far fom the iorteth parallel ot latitude, he
came upon magnificent cotton tree, differing
IN appearance from any plant Of the kind that
had ever before come under his notice. 1t was
found in the mouth Of My (our Noyemher),
when the ground was covered with several inch
60 Of SLOW. he elevation oil the locality wa,
such that snow usually lay on the ground for
three months in the year. At that time the tree
had shed its foliage, but the cotton pods remain
ed, having fully burs', and covering the tree
with a rich growth Of the glossy fibre. Suisse
queni.y Mr.. X. lighted upon large nnmbers OF
the same plant, learned us habits and undertook
it, culture.
The tee il said by the native, TO attain the
age of nearly century in some eases, Abou'
the third year it begins to yield crop Of boil,
without aeir, which grow at It's extremity only
after the plant has reached maturity. The gin
ming process is thus ofiectuall' Dispensed with,
It, size il found TO average tina. Of the peach il
this country, the bu.hy portion forming beau
tiful cone resting on a stem which is sometime
six or eight feet high and as many inches II
diameter. Mr. KENpALL claims that in c'rtai
favorable soils and situations two ihon-an
hounds OF cotton can be produced from this ire
on a single acre, and that hall that amount ca
be depended upon as an average. live hundre
pounds per acre is held to be good yield lreI
the ordinary plant. Another remarkable stat
meni is that it DEVELOPS inner fibre and loI
ger staple, as it approaches the colder region
Mr.. X. is sonfident that ii can be successful
cultivated on suitable soils in any part of I'll
belt where Indian corn now grows. Mr. kE'
DALI. proposes TO bring the subject before OF
business community, in public lecture.
