Bread to Eat or Cotton to Spin.

1t the western powers of Europe shall pre-
fer the latter of these alternatives, 10y risk
ing war with the Government at Washing
ton and the people of the loyal States of the
Union, they must be prepared to face grave
responsibility. Can England or France afford
to quarrel with us2
What do we now see2 France completes
with England for our surplus breadstuffs, and
during the past week has completely ruled
our market. Six ships have been chartered
within few days to load breadstufTs to
French ports, and large quantities have also
been shipped by the regular packets. In
1859, the root croops in Ireland were very
short, and the crops of cereals throughout
Great Britain were largely deficient To
these calamties are now added lamentably
deficient grain crops throughout the western
part of the continent and below an average
in Great Britain.
The surplus of breadstuffs in this country
has been the chief reliance of the British mar
kets for more than year. There has been
growing French demand since the opening
OF the Spring months 1t may be doubted
whether the capacity of this market will be
increased in the coming year,
Can either France or England feed their
population, were practical embargo to be
placed upon the shipment Of breadstuifs from
our ports This is question to be consid-
cred. 1t is more radical ia its character than
that of supply of cotton. The exports of
breadstuffs from Northern ports to Great
Britain since September | 0SGO have been
about 100000 barrels flour, $4,000 900
bushels of wheat 10, 100000 bushels corn and
400 barrels corn meal, or equal to about
Al, 900 900 bushels of grain and there have
been shipped to the continent at the same
time time $4,000 barrels flour, 100000
bushels wheat and $1,000 bushels rye, the
latter going to German ports, making grand
total to Europe and the continent of more
than fifty million bushels. Besides, we have
sent large quantities of peas and oats to
Great Britain, to say nothing of provisions
and other articles of food. England cannot
hope to require less for the coming year,
while it is apparent the continent may be
said to have just entered our market, The
British provinces round about us have in the
same time taken about three quarters Of a
million barrels of flour and meal, or equal to
$500, 900 bushels. TO shut off these sup
plies at any time before the next crop, will
cause a famine; for the utmost efforts of
available shipping in the meantime will be
required to keep the wolf from the door"
The authorities of England aud France will
pause before they will face starving popula-
tons, especially as supply of cotton will
not be assured by making war.-N y World

The Ell DORADO County, FAR-A CORE
spondcnt of the Sacramento Union, writing
from FL Dorado, September ~, says of this
Fair:
To-day is the third Of the County Faic
now being held at this place, and there is an
increasing interest manifest in the throng of
Vslters gathering from all parts of the county
10 participate in the pleasures and enjoyments
OF the occasion. The Fair has proved a sue
cess beyond the nnticipations of its most san
guine friends 1t is true, the exhibition in
the stock department is meager, yet the ami
mails are of n class highly creditable to the
county, which does not claim to be stock
growing community. The Pavilion is the
great feature of attraction. and one is amazed
to find SO large an assemblage of women and
children in n place which but few wears
since was wilderness. The arrangements
for the Fair throughout are of a liberal and
practical character and reflect the highest
credit upon the energetic Board of Managers
1t is pleasant TO witness, after an exciting
and acrimonious political contest. persons Of
different political views meeting at this agri-
cultural festival, and, burying all dscOrd,
Join in mutual congratulations on the success
which seems to attend alike the industry of
all. The display of apples, pears and grapes
very extensive, and it is doubtful if, for an
equal number of specimens, its equal was
ever seen. That the apples and grapes of
our mountain districts are of a superior
character, all admit who have examined the
specimens on exhibition. Tonight the Pa
vlhon is densely thronged, and Tomorrow,
Ine closing day, promises to be more fully
attended than any previous one.

A LupIcRous BLUNDEE The curious ignor

amusing manner by the Galway Vindicator
Of August It'll, in its comments on the battle

BrCderick Monument.

custody of the funds contributed towards the
erection Of Monument suitable to the memory
of the late Hon d. G. Brodcrick, with power to
erect the same, in presenting the following state
ment OF their trust, would beg leave to direct
public attention to the present necessity of mme-
dmte action on the part Of those DESTROYS of aiding
such object. The Committee have had the trust
in hands nearly two years. and it has not been
from any lack of exertion on their part that the
same has not been completed at this date. The
amount of funds contributed did not admit of ac-
ton, us they were unwilling to commence ma

of the expense, having the experience which has
attended the Washington Monument in view. The
