quite insufficient to meet the demands that must
be made on tiff the war lasts much longer. After
allowing ior the probable stock held by sp'r1e
the to- j amount of American cotton in the Fling
dom can hardly exceed 600 900 bales, and from this
IL seems likely that we shall have to supply q con-
siderable part of the consumption Of Northern
States of America; prices in NewYork have r. ed
for some weeks SO much above this market that q
large margin of profit hes been left on shipments
from this side, and several thousand bales have
recently been exported to that quarter II to .fis
drain we add only moderate quantity for export
to the continent, the eonsumptive demand On orr
e1 sting stock would reach at least $4,000 bales
per week, Sufficient to exhaust it in almost four
months. 1t is, possible however, that with prices
pushed to Is. ID H. for Mddling Orleans the aggre
gate consumption might be further curtailed and
spinners thrown much more largely on Fest India
cotton, so that the weekly requirements from our
stock might be reduced to $4,000 bales; but even
on his suppotion the total supply in the country
would scarcely last six months. More than this
need not be advanced to prove the alarming posi-
Lon of the cotton trade in England. f.
The telegraph was perfectly mum yesterday.

the delay. Nothing of Importance from Mississippi

very unfortunate that we have not few more

TROUBLE IN TIE CAME.

There is trouble in the camp of Lincolndom. In
the very strongholds Of his power is the Gorilla
bearded to his teeth. The Freesoilers Of ST. Louis
have applauded Fremont and denounced him in
public meeting assembled The same thing has
occurred in that loathsome hole Of Abolition
Chicago In Boston, New York and other places,
similar tokens of disaffection have manifested
themselves and the signs seem to Indicate that
the throne of the tyrant is not implicitly Worship
ped even In his own chosen country. We have
before rs the Cincinnati Enquirer Of the 26th ult,
and in it we find the proceedings of large meet
ing, In which the Washington radicals were most
fercely denounced. Hereisa copy of the resolu.
tions unanimously adopted by, the meeting al
Whereas, it is the duty Of free people never,
under any circumstances, to relinqnish the right
OF cr1tlcisIng its administration; TS-+''E1s
Whereas, Fremont, in the opinion of the people,
is the best representative Of popular political
aims and the most energetical prosecution Of the
war; ei+ E s3.R, A ,.-5J 81 ls.Jss, a. ,5,7t. ! 7
Whereas, further, the cowardy and unworthy
means by which the Government effected the re-
moval Of Fremont justies the people in, the worst
tears OF the designs and qualifications of the Ad-
ministration; therefore, Es
ResolDed, That this removal is q sad blow to the,
Repnhc,.and for that reason the more to be re-
pretended, because It acts in the most disheartan-
lhR maHHeF upon lne patriotism OF the people,
and encourages the rebellion to renewed outrages,
as the rayages; and burning in Missouri plainly
show. 5,,s.y s.5s = =
II Further be Il Resolssd That Fremont, notwith-
standing his removal, has our fullestsympathy and
condolences, and that we,,as adopted citizens, are
specially indebted to him for his unprecedented de-
pertinent toward foreign-born citizens. ~ p .1g
Lincoln has numerous bastiles throughout the
North. But 1t would seem that prisons are not
sufficient to teriy his subjects into condition Of
pnrnurInnring obedience. Having abolished the
writ of habeas corpus; having trampled under
foot freedom Of speech and the press; having
annihilated all liberty, and having created nurer-
GUS prison.houses to frighten his people, and all
without avail he will be compelled to resort to
the guillotine--the last resort of tyrants HALF a
dozen or more guilUfines in each of the principal
cities Of the North, kept actively employed, would
render unquestloning servitude universal, until the
oppressed people rose in rage and compelled his
neck 70 take its turn with the knife. BY all
means, Honest Old Aben should have recourse
to the gniiiotne. His Governments is worthy of it,
and it Ia " orthy of him.
