The St Louis Democrat, in the river column,
gets of the following suggestion to the Northern
military commanders
The prospect az present is that the river will
get foot OF SO lower, and continue so until nav
igatiou opens again in the spring But In the
meantime, the Hyer viii have frozen over hard
and solid, aiiording d secure, although rather
crooked ice road 10 Cairo. II troops require,
when the river IS frozen over, to 90 hence TO
Cairo, ur from Cairo to st. Louis, they might
skate the whole distance on short time, taking
one days ratious along. lnNiew of this, il may
be good policy 20 manufacture at once a full sup
ply Of army skates. Indeed troops may be-
easily, cAeaply aud sportiyely transported from
tbe most northern parts OF the country, over the
magnificent akus, and along the broad rivers 20

sippi. and all On skates. The scene of a regi-
meut skimmiug along Lake Michigan, down the
Illinois river, and past s.. Louis on the Missis
sippi, IN regular column, would be worth while

e SO far as we can learn through public or
private channels the reports Of the dissatisiac-
ton OF the negroes around Port Royal is almost
wholly a Yankee invention. The servants are
certainly not under as good control as formerly,
simply because their masters are not present to
give direction 90 their labOrs.
As for the amount OF cotton that the invaders
viii get it will be- Ike the alms-giving Of q
hvpocrite-'' nothing to nobody" From all We
can hear. the planters are displaying a self
sacrificing patriotism that puts TO shame even
the couhagraton Of Moscow for in their case
the act is voluntary, whereas in the case Of the
Russian capital it was done under the compress
sion of a powerful military government The

As to the capture OF Fort Hatteras, that is an
insignificant item against all the reveTses Of the
North. The disgrace Of tbe battle OF Bull hun
would not be expunged by the success Of
score Of naval expeditions undertaken against
power without any navy whatever. The sue
cess Of every expedition Of this kind may be
l1redcated with certainty. But what OF that
What Il Mobile. New Orleans, and Galveston
were in possession Of the North, how would
such al occupation influence the fortunes Of the
war? Every way, say some WlsescTes; these
ports would then be opened to the commerce Of
the world and the cotton crop would then be
shipped to Hope. AY, indeed We in our
simplicity supposed it was the North who had
blOcksded these ports, to prevent the shipment
Of cotton, which would have supplied 70 the
South the sinews Of war. Oh but the object IS
20 take the cotton by force, and apply the pro
ceeds Of It's sale 70 the conquest Of its owners.
What an ingenious DEVICE II it were only
practicable, II would, no doubt be q master
stroke Of policy. But the cotton is not at the
ports, nor viii It be while the war lasts. Long
before the maturity Of any portion Of the crop,
% was resolved that it should be kept at the
plantations. There it Is being put into sheds,
without beng baied or even ginneG-stOWed
away in seed, SO that, al the approach o. an
invading toe, match might be promptly and
efioaciously applied, to prevent It's falling into
the hands Of the enemy. The expeditions against
tie cotton ports, whether successful or not, are
not therefore likely 10 materially benefit the
North, and cannot restore 70 il the balance O

from New York, was unquestiOnsbly with th,
