A British Cotton Route Through MexIc,
Recommended.

Il
| The London Post, the organ of Lord P11MERsrox
| June:
| On the 2Ist Of last month an act was passed BY
the Congress Of the Southern States at Montgomery
prohibiting. under heavy penalties, the expectation
of cotton or of cotton yarn, except through the
seapOrts of the said Confederate States And this
prohibition is to contnue long as any of the ports
| of the South are blOckaded by the Government Of
the United States The object of this act clearly is
to retaiate upon the Northern States by preventing
them from obtaining for their manufacturers sup
ply of the material overland. ItwOulG appear,
therefore, that fer the present all Commerce in
American cotton is effectually cut OFT The block
ade of the Southern ports by the navy Of the Norh
on enc land and the strict prOhib ton against the
inland traffic the other, must entirely shut up at
least the ordinary channels Of traffic. But there e
a clause IN the recent act passedby the Confederate
States which indicates that new outlet may be
found in the present crisis for the great staple
the South. The prOvisiol to which we refer IS in
he following words: Nothing in this act shall be
so construed as to prohibit expectation to Mexico
through Us conterminous frontier"
Now the Northern States are at peace with
Mexico, they cannot of course interfere with spy
exports that may be shipped from that country.
Still less can they blockade any Mexican port. The
question Of the practicabhty of establishing tran
cit for cotton the Mexican frontier Is there
fore one Of Us-g great importance and more especially
o oalrsslres. We may remember that during the
Russian war traffic Of similar kind was establish
"a with great success. Although all direct inter-
course with Russia was prohibited. the produce Of
hat country found its way overland to the ports Of
prussia and was thence shipped. wiihOutlet or bin
france. to Engand. The land traffic had. no dOubt.
ne effect both If raising the price and Diminishing
ne quantity. Bnt we deemed it better 70 submit 70
his inconvenience than to the still greater neon
senience Of being deprived of Russian produce al
together. The truth Is, the more commercial the

The March of the Grand ATmT---Hous'
burning and PilIage.

1t will be seen By the following brief extracts
that the Grand Army of Ysndals are carrying out
the programme of their leaders, in which Beauty
and Booty are the chief ends of their aims
. Fom the Chicago Times.
Il IS a matter of deep modification and regret
that our troops could not be restrained from COM
hitting excuses, both at Fairfax Court House and
Centreville.
Houses were entered and pillaged by reckless
soldiers, and women wantOnly insulted The houses
even of Union men were not exempt from these
Outrsges, many Of which were burned TO the
ground.
Gen. Mcdowell promises to give his immediate
attention to these Outrsges. and assures the suffer
eTs that all ofe lders shall BE- shot without mercy.
Men and women were robbed of gold watches
money, and other valuables in the streets.
From the Baltimore Republican.
The Outrages being perpetrated by the advancing
hOrdes of Lincoln's hirelings upon the unoffeudng
people of Virginia, the pillsge and destruction Of
property which everywhere sgnalize their march,
would disgrace band of Turks or free-bOoters OF
the dark ages.
Although not the one-half is told, imagination
readily fills up the picture of burning villages,
peaceful homes sacked and piliaged, and their in
mates subjected TO barbarOus insults and outrage:
of women and children msItreated and flying TOR
their lives, until the heart sickens at the contem
plation.
And all this in America and in the nineteenth
century. and designed. told, to brig about
more gtec!OnGts Union with the people thus out
ragged. We subjoin the instances recorded, which,
although mineingly told, and perhaps not one 1.-THE
of what has really occurred, sufficient TO bring
eternal shame upon the Federal arms. A cOrres>
pOndent of the Washington Star writes
That he heard complaint at Vienna that our
troops had, in the early morning helped themselves
to whatever they faneied in every house in that
village
Another correspondent Of the Star says:
- Much feeling was manifested en- account Of
outrsges in the way Of depredations, which mem
bers Of the Brooklyn 14th perpetrated last night
Their finding of watches, &C., are believed to have
been thefts.'
