If The Har will have this one e6ect-to
create necessity for Protective Tariff
fer half century 10 ceme, SO that the
country uay be emancipated from its IN
dustria1 bondage to the Old World, the
money it costs Will be well spent though
nolb;ng can compensate for the loss Of life
which it entails. It's probable that theEng-
lish are looking to this result-the prospec-
tive shutting up Of this market against their |
wares, which He may and ought to pro-
duce-aud that the tear Of it is the cause
Of their anxiety to bring the contest to an
end. But they have not been wise. Hold
ing out to the rebels encouragement for
the sake Of present profit; belieing their
anti-slavery professions and their boosted
humanity, that their looms may not be
without cotton, they are only prolonging
the strife and insuring the complete oper~
ation Of the causes which viii by and by
make the United States, with their abun~
dance Of raw material for textile fabrics,
their incxhaustible supplies Of coal, wood
and the metals, the great industrial COM
petitor Of England in ali the markets Of
the world. Had this wicked rebellion
been hoHned down in the begir-
ming by the British people and
Crown; had not the obligations Of friend
ship and justice beea overridden by the
demands Of Mammo1, the war would now
have been well nigh closed, and the old
commercial relations restored. To-day,
and partly by reason Of the hope held opt
to the rebels, from the other side Of the
Atlantic, the rebellion has assumed the
gigantic proportions that forbid the belief
that it will be conquered without the Gre
alton Of a National debt here, under which
the American market for English fabrics
will be buried. The annual payment as in

to its own citizens, at the close Of the wa1

necessity for heavy duties on what ne d.

NEW Yo8K PoL1T1cs.-The great prizes

REVOLUTION In COTTON GRO IT.
TEGT.

in latitude 400 B. F. johnson, Esq., has
been endeavoring to prove, by a series Of
experiments, the truth Of bis theory that
cotton, like the tomato, the pepper and
half dozen other plants Of tropical or
semi-tropical natitty, may be naturalizad
in this climate. Thus far he has met with
encouraging success; and more than
once, modestly hiding his name behind
an anonymous signature, has, in our
columns, called uEon the agricul-
turists of the State to initiate his example
and aid him by their trials in the same d.
rection. His theory is plausible, and We
are Of the opinion that with care in the
choice cf seed and in cultivation, he or his
heirs will prove it. In its support he
writes us that an emigrant from Louisiana
has just opened farm on the Illinois
Central railroad, in the latitude Of Spring
field, and this year, successfully grown ten
acres Of cotton Of medium quality. But
if the item which we quote from the Ere.

her own account in Chill what Mr.. John

and now our farmers who want to add

Ihe Indianapolis journal announces the de-
parture Of two companies Of the 18th United
States infantry, recruited In that city, for
Louisville, being assigned to somespecIal duty
in Kentucky. We believe these are the frat
volunteers Of the new army regiments to take
the field. The progress made in the last three
months, towards organizing these regiments,
las demonstrated that they will not be full
before the close Of the Wat, If st all. They
must, therefore, take the field in detaehments,
unless consolidated into two OF more full
regiments. The 18th regiment has eome
three tr four hundred men at Des PLANES,
near this city; the 18th has as many more at
Columbus. Let them be put into service al
once. They are needed, and will never bs
needed more than low.

The Wheeling lntelVgeneer says:
We have rarely witnessed so affecting q
sight as that presented when the aids of
Gen. Morris reached him from Grafton,
bearing with them the dispatches of Maj.
General Met lellan and General Morris. It
was thought then, as will be seen by the
wording of the despatch from General Nc.
Clellan, that Col. Kelley was MORALLY
wounded, and the aids being fearful of the
same thing, did not hesitate to communi-
cate the dispatches to the wounded soldier,
When the dispatches were read to him q
faint modest smile of grateful recognition
passed over his pale, wasted face, and his
eyes filled with tears-but he was too weak
to speak word.
Col. Benham put the dispatches in his
hand and he held them there until he was
removed from the litter on the floor to q
comfortable bed in an adjoining room.
During the night, as we sat by his bedside,
we obtained them and made the following
copies of them:
DESPATCH FROM GEN. MCCLELLAN.
CINCINNATI, June 8.
To GEN. L. A. NORRIS Say to Col. Kelley
that l cannot yet believe it possible that one
who has opened his career SO brilliantly can
be MORALLY wounded. In the name of the
country thank him for his conduct which has
been the most brilliant episode of the war
thus far. If it can cheer him in his last mo-
ments tell him that l cannot repair his loss,
and that I only regret that l cannot be by his
side to thank him in person. God bless him.
GEO. B. MCCLELLAN.
DESPATCH FROM GEN. MORRIS.
GRAFTON, June 3.
To Col. KELLY: I am extremely pleased
and greatly gratified at your gallant and SOL
dierly conduct in the expedition which owes
its success to your gallant conduct. feel that
your country owes you deep debt of graft.
tude for your services on the occasion and a
grateful people cannot but render to you that
honor you so richly deserve.
T. A. MORRIS,
Brig. Gen. Commanding.
The appreciation of Col. Kelly's superior
officers did not exceed that of his subor-
dinates. The officers and privates of his
command thronged the sentry outposts of
the house where he lay, to hear the latest
reports of his condition. The solcitude
exceeded that of mere friendship-it was
that of love and devotion.
