The War Department to-day made very i'm

shall have but one Major General, instead of four,
and further that he is to be appointed by the Sec
retary ofWar, and not by the Executive of State,
as has been the case in New York in the appoint
ment of Major General Dix. This decision, of
course, applies equally to other States.

THE COTTON SUPPLY


The Liverpool Courier of May Sth. says:-So far
as this country is involved the blockade by the
Federal navy of the southern ports is not of great
Importance at the present time, as we have drawn
thence nearly all the available surplus of cotton of
the last crop. Some months must elapse before
this question of blockade will be brought forward
as Immediately affecting the safety of our vast
manufacturing interests, and it is to be hoped that
before such calamitous contingency occurs, the
present social anarchy in the States may be re-
duced within the control Of wiser councils.
Obviously very little cotton could be shipped un-
der any circumstances from the Southern ports be-
fore the middle of September, when the new crop
begins to arrive; and therefore much more impOr-
tance is attached to the blockade in question by
the metropolitan press, which, probably, is igno-
rant OF the season in which the important trade in
cotton is begun and ended in the Southern ports OF
the United States.
