AT the suggestion of an old and respected citizen
OF Tennessee, we give place to the following re-
marks on the blockade and the preternaitting of
crop OF cotton for the year 1862. On this point
public policy requires that no more cotton should
pc raised during the continuance of the war. We
are not OF those who entertain the opinion that Eng
land and France will take measures to break the
bleekade. Moreover, we consider livery injudie-
Gus to be threatening these powers, saying if you
do not do this, or do that, you shall not have
pound OF cotton. We are recognized as belnger-
ents BY these Governments, and the blockade is
settectnal so far as the ports of New Orleans and
4 Mobile are concerned. As the season for prepar-,
ing for wheat and other cereals for the next season
j. at hand, it will be well for the planting com
menity 10 gadeot on the suggestions of passing BY
eeston tAe coming season. Our belief is. that

err, wall have very salutary effect in Fastening
the interpretation of the great powers of Europe
especially England and France, to break the
blockade. II these sagacious Governments, it is
argued, once see the planters preparing thus to
limit the future supply upon their already exhaust
ed market, they will take the alarm and will forth
with disregard the paper blockade Of Lincoln, and
make arrangements to purchase and shipthe pre-
sent crop.
s4 We can imagine that measure so threatening to
their manutae turing interests and to the internal
peace of their people will produce tremendous
effect upon the tardy and diplomatic movements Of
the English and French Governments. ~@
y There may be reasons which do not now strike
us, to interfere with this policy. But we would
earnestly recommend its consideration to the cot
ton planters OF the Confederate States, as plan
Which il seems to u.s. is calculated to insure them;
sntficieney food and clothing for the next year
without embarrassing their finances to secure good
prices for the staple forever hereafter to provide
an abundance of provisions for cur soldiers and at
the same time to furnish, powerful leverage by
which the tardy movements of the great CONNER
ciai powers may be controlled and directed to
open ports with the world, and afford an exit
for our products and the interchange of such com
modities as we may need. ~"
