THE CoTToS CRoP OF 1S61-WHAT Is TO BE-
CONE OF Ir?-If the Yankees were engaged in
peaceful pursuits, they would need ABBOTT 900,
900 bales. Europe needs the balance, say the
$500, 600. We will desire to sell it ALL But
the mischief is, the Yankees have blockaded
our ports, and prohibited all trade by inland
communications One thing is certain-that
the Yankees will want our cotton as badly as
we will want to sell it. And if they say we
shall not SELL we assure them they shall not
buy @ We don't rant TO hare nothing to do
nth them aohow." If they say that we shall
not sell to Europe, then we will say to England,
France and Germany, here is our cotton for
sale; We can't send it to you, but we will sell
it readily, you will come'and get it; and what
is more, we will take your productions in ex-
change. If you can do without our cotton, we
certainly can do better without your money and
manufactures. Then England and France will
say ace must hare the cotton +; and we will saw,
very good; come and get it. And they will
say to Lincoln. get out Of the way, old fellow
And Lincoln VIII answer" Well. f must,
must; but mortally hate it." And if we be
true to ourselves, we viii say to the Yankees
but you sha'n't have any Of our cotton. Then
the Yankees, about that time, will be pitching
into one another. Lincoln's game won't win, II
we be true to ourselves. Grenada Hotire

PoLITIcAL PRoPHBTs.-We are not one oil
those who have regarded Wendell Philips as a
prophet or the son of prophet, but in justice
to bin, we give the following extract from ono
Of his speeches in 1856:
"Tliere is merit in the Republican party.
1t is the first sectional party ever organized in
the country. II is the North arrayed against
the South The first crack in the iceberg is
visible. You will yet hear It 60 with crash
through the centre"
Has not the "erash through the center
come? All hail, Philips, the prophet But
the same crash" was foreseen by Mr.. Jeffer
son in 1920, when he declared, "The Union
and abolition cannot co-exist together" The
same thing was seen by Mr.. Clay, in 1881, ant
by Greeley in 1874, when he declared in hi:
campaign pamphlet:
"A dissolution of the Union would BE- as Ger
tain to result from political abolition as any
effect of moral cause that can be reckoned on.
All the Democrats have been prophets, ant
have warned, and warned, and warned the peo
pie that these terrible times would come when
ever Abolitionism should enthrone itself in thu

CoTToS is KIxG.-We clip the following from
the Toronto (Canada) Leader. 1t forcshadows
the resistance of England to Lincoln's blockade.
King Cotton is likely to prove an overmatch for
King Abraham the Kangaroo monarch Of the
new African Kingdom of Abotiondom:
It is reported that the British Minister made
application to have tobacco and other articles
shipped from Virginia to England, but the Fed
eral Government positively refused to grant the
permission asked for. This shows determin-
alton on the part Of the Government to main
tain the blockade effectively. But how will il
DC regarded in England? Possibly in friendly
spirit. But the Times Is very much inclined to
earn at the Lincoln Administration Just now,
and VIC know that the Times-let what may be
said to the contrary-moulds the opinions and
directs the course Of thought of a vast majority
of the people of England. The Morrill, Taril
has affected its vision toward things American
to most extraordinary extent; and, determined
as Mr.. Russell may be to write in all fairness Of
the progress of the revolution, he will be apt tc
see more or less through Southern spectacles
when penning his thoughts in the latitude Of
Charleston or Richmond. This will not be
without its effect on the public mind at home
Noralize as ace may, Cotton is King; England
must hare cotton, and If she cannot obtain Il
anu place else, she must obtain 10 in dm6ricd
As the Times has already said, the demands O
trade are memorable Cotton cannot pass WHERE
tobacco does not find a place of exit How
then, will the British manufacturers regard tht
stoppage of their trade with Southern ports p
that trade which, to them, is paramount to al
others. 1t is serious question, and its solution
must be left to the future

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Oxford Intelligencer.

IT is proposed to establish, at Oxford, Mississippi,
weekly Journal under the foregoing title, and to is
sue the first number about the LIST day of June,
1860.
The ISrELLTGENcER will not be the organ of any
man, or Of any clique or combination Of individuals
but it win endeavor faithfully 10 represent the views
and sentiments of the community of Oxford and La
fayette county, and to uphold and foster all the great
ntcrests-educationa agricultural material, social
and moral-with which the highest welfare of our poo
pie is identified.
The fundamental doctrines IF the State Rights
school of Democracy will constitute the guides by
which the political course of the paper will be con-
trollcd; and while the INTELLIGENcER will sustain
Southern institutions, and the Of the South, with
energy and zeal il will do calmly and only by rea
son and argument--remembcrin that there is zeal
which lis not according to knowledge" and whose
only weapons empty defamation and appeals to
popular ignorance, passion, and prejudice. 1t will
carncst ysuppor the principles andorganizaton Of tia
Democratic party; but, at the same time, it will be
courteous to those of feow-citizcns who po-
litically opposed to it nor will it descend ia any
case, to personal abuse and viGfcation

Nothing will appear in the columns of the ISTELLI

The little Maid would have her will,
And said. INV. we are seyen.n


We arc thirty-four, in like manner fondly per-
sists tho American President And in every
respect but one he intends to act as il the
Southern Confederacy was sham, and the
Union a reality, instead of the reverse, which
is the notorious fact.
What can be expected, what can be hoped of
a policy based on an enormous and notorious
fiction? The Pope declares the encroachments
on his temperatures null and void, and that his
authority remains sacred and intact; but these
are nero words thrown into the air, as they say
in the East, the harmless consultations of impo-
tcnce. The American Presidents assertions Of
the infaIlibility of the Constitution are more
serious as they entail consequences in action.
Accordingly, the President pledges himself to
hold, occupy and possess the property and
places belonging to the Federal Government, to
collect the duties and imposts, but not to use
force, except such as may be necessary for these
objects for which, he says, no violence or blood
shed is needed More cunning than Shylock,
Mr.. Lincoln contemplates some mode Of cutting
the pound Of flesh nearest to the heart Of the
South without spilling drop Of blood Does
he suppose that Fort Sumter can be retained, OF
the other forts recovered, that the other prop
erty can be restored, the custom duties collect
cd in the Gulf States, without coming to blows
He does not propose to insist ON the enforce
mcnt Of all the federal obligations He will moi
attempt the discharge of federal duties, where
people refuse to fill the offices, and as little
when it comes to the point, will he attempt to
fe-occupy forts, recover property, and levy Gus
toms. For such comparatively insignificant OBJ
jects, what people would consent to civil war
The preservation of the Union, il practicable
might be deemed worth civil war, but Presi
dent Lincoln starts with the assumption thai
The Union is undissolved, and consequently hi.
civil war would appear to be, not for the grea
object of saving the Union ITSELF but for tn,
recovery of its poor furniture.

From the London Examiner
The English View Of Lincoln's Policy;

There is bird which is said to provide for
It's safety by putting its head in hole so as not
TO see its enemy. A bird of this feather is
President Lincoln. His method of dealing with
h great evil Is not to see 1t, and To deny its ex-
istencc. The Union is intact The Union Is
unkrokcn, because it is theoretically indssolu-
bic. No State can have seeded from it, be-
cause no State has the right to secede, and con-
sequcntly the Union exists, and must forever
exist in all its integrity. There is no Southern
Uonfcdcracy, it is a mere name, titular preten-
