FALSE EsTIMATES.-As the revolutionary
times were those which tried men e souls"
so these try our resources, powers and
strength. An Eastern paper, commenting
upon this fact, says:
We are now beginning TO learn how
grievously our Government is suffering
both from OUer. estimates and underestimate.
In times Of peace we under estimated the
value Of clizen-soldiery, and our people
looked With positive contempt upon those
young men who displayed the least lend-
lrrs for military discipline aud parade
The pursuit vas looked upon as the most
impraclcahle of all impraclihable things.
The money makers were wont TO look npOn
general musters" as q riOtons assemblage
OF piodigal sons. They proposed Hith a
sarcastic eneer the crushing question-aeH
ii pGyP The people meet these mammOn-
Wui Shippers with their own weapons at The
present time. Does il pay now? Oh, yes,
il pays now, that the profits Of trade, the
ability TO pay notes aud rents is contingent
upOn The success OF arms. But we greatly
oUer-e limated the value Of the warike ma
lerials in our possession. II was supposed
that our merchantmen. crOwdng the seaR,
could he rapidly extemporiZed into SER
vlceabIe navy in time of need. We have
found that comforting suppostion a den-
sion. Not more than one in ten of our mer-
chant marine has been fit for naval pnrpos.
e.. aud an almost entire naval feet has
been built since the campaign opened. We
hope the lesson just learned will be Of ben
rfi in The future We have under estimated
The power of the rebellion, and oVer-estma-
ted our ability TO meet it. The campaign
so far has been a sad comment on false
estimates. Now that war is upon us. our
provprbial national characteristic begins to
crop ont again. We are Over-esiimating
the value Of peace--tOO many are impa-
liently signing for it at any price. Peace
has no value except il finds abasis upon
national honor and integrity.

THE COTTON SUPPLY-SHoRT TIME.-The
London correspondent Of the Bulletin, in his
letter Of Sept. 81 It, says:
How far either Britain or France is Mt all
likely to break through their neutrality in or
der to obtain cotton, you will now be pretty
well able to guess by the position assumed IN
regard to the cotton trade. In the menufactur-
ing districts here, the pressure has fairly begun,
but il is . fairly met. Mill owners have APP
pealed to their work-people on the subject OF
the supply, and delegates chosen by the workers
have decided that it is for the interest Of the
trade TO 90 upon "short time" so that dimin-
ished production will become immediate. The
period for this shortening Of labor, as | think |
have already noticed, could not have been bet
tel chosen, for production has been greatly
over. done of late and the stocks are so large
that had the mills gone on at their usual rate
tie value of the goods and the wages Of the
workers must have fallen. AS regards the fu-
twrc supply Of the staple. Mr.. Laing, the Indian
Finance Minister, met the principal mamufac-
tlirers in Manchester on ThuTday last, and the
matter was fairly talked over. India has about
enough on hand now to make good defcien-
cy. and though not of a quality that manufac-
turers wish, il may do in lack Of hetter. The
difficulty oddly enough is that India can hard
" venture to send it without some guarantee
Of its being used up at MINIMUM price lot
it would be an embarrassment to have the
Southern cotton if the Indian were on our
hands. Another year of the war will undoubt-
cdly play the mischief with the trade of the
South: for manufacturers here are now ON
their nettle to open new fields of supply. In
dia. too. is straining every nerve to improve
the quality as well as increase the quantity, and
the government is Enthusiastically alive so far
to the importance Of the crisis, that it will
make the most material alterations in the ten
ure of land and other important matters, with a
view to attract british capital and enterprise
to India.

The Excha,,gc of TIl lsomcrs.


We observe. says the National Iutelligen
Ger. that very IDsay of our contemporaries
are discussing the duty of the Government
in the matter Of regulating an exchange o
prisoners, aud the opinion. as far as We car
observe, is universally expressed that some
Diet, rmnatOn should be reached on This
subj, CT more cnnfurfnable t0 the conceived
interests and welfare Of the MILITARY service
Upon this point we have to commend the

ARSCoNDED,

The New Mexican correspondent Of the
St. Louis Republican says that the citizens
Of Arizona, in Convention at Messilla on the
10th uit., resolved themselves out Of the
Union, and Gen. W. c. Jones formerly of
Missouri, announced himself a candidate to
represent Arizona in the Congress of the
Confederate States.
In noticing this the lases. case of seees-
sion, the Chicago Tribune says-"All our
readers have heard of the funny Tbernau
who described his visit to genteman's
house. by saying, "Be jabers, and before
"eyer 80. my feet within the door. they
kicked me out, they did-bad cess to em,''
The case Of Arizona is not dissimilar.-
Arizona, which was never in the Union
never in any proper and legal sense under
the Constitution Of the United State.-has
gone out OF the Union and has discarded the
Constitution. A fas. people they are out
there. The net cost Of that cnterprising
but iuehoass sovereignty, was, when the
territory WAS purchased, ten millions Of
dollars, in lawful coin to certain spectators
paid, the receipt of which was never ac-
knowledsed. Certain items to be added for
government, military expeditions, surveys,
Indian affairs, mails, etc, etc., make the
total, We assume, not far from twenty mil
LIONS pretty dowry for such daughter.
Bat copper heads, rsttlesnakes, sandy des-

been the sink into which much good money
has since then gone down: its taking of is
