COTTON SUPPLY

It appears from dispatch in our tele-
graph column that the sp;nners Of Man
chestE, England, hare held public meet
Ing to consider the danger Of an Interrupt
ton Of the supply OF cotton from America
It docs not appear, however, that they
urged tho Government to ally itself with
the slavc1rirers and prevent Il blockade Of
Southern ports. On the contrary, they
agreed to form Cotton Supply Company
for the purpose Of stimulating the growth
Of the staple in other paris Of the world.
This looks seriously like " coercion" The
Chicago Times should look after the busi-

We publish elsewhere the proceedings Of
{ nce.iag Of Douglas Democrats in Mnssac
ee:.n:r, which we commend heartily to
til: Chicago Times. The proposition to
":'aag old Buchanan and every man en-
gagged in secession or nulllying any law
"now existing in conformity 10 the Consti-
SUTTON" would not sound well in the
mouths of Republicans, because it would
savor Of coercion" 1t has been frequent

that they arc still voting for Jackson. These
Msssac county resolutions give some color
Of truth to the assertion.

WASHINGTON.
Everybody knows whats nuisance it is
to be obliged to stop atsome city or station
ON u journey and purchase tickets aud re-
check baggage. Ali the e1eading lines sell
through tickets, and check baggage 10 any
Of the principal cities Of the seaboard.
There has been one exception in the lines,
not exactly to the sea board, but OF almost
equal importance to travellers from the
West; VIC mean the policy pursued by the
Baltimore and Ohio Road, which has here
1ofore refused 10 allow Western roads to
sell through tickets to Washington unless
passengers would go by Wheeling This
route will Go very we'll for Cincinnati pas
sengers, but it is out Of the way and un-
comfortable, and requires considerable
more time for nil passengers from the
Northwest. For them tho trouble and an
no3ancc Of recaccking baggage and pur-
chusing tickets At Baltimore are intolerable.
We observe that the Baltimore and Ohio
road owning the line between Baltimore
and Washington, hes asked Congress for
the privilege of extending its track through
Washington city to connect with the South
crn lines. To grant it may be all we'll
enough; but VIC hope tho Senators and
Representatives from the Northwest
will insist that the privilege be
granted only on condition that tile
the Company in the matter complained OF
extend the same facilities 10 the North
Western as to all other roads. Let the
grant be so wordcd that q f.ilure to fulfil
the conditions shall work forfeiture Of
the privilege. While the Baltimore and
Ohio Company arc asking special tayors
Of Congress, it will be well to put them un-
der bonds no longer to insist on imposing
upon the puhlic the nuisance to which We
have referred. 1t ia in almost every re-
spect entirely gratuitous, for scarcely one
passenger in year will 60 by Wheeling to
avoid it. Let our members Of Congress
take care that it be efectually and forever
abated.

Battle In Western virginia.

FLoYp's COMMAND urTERLT RouTED-Two Hun
DRIED AND EIsHTY PRISONERS TAKEN-LAReE
NUMBER KILLED AND WOUNDED.
BY an arrival from Gauley Bridge, says the
Cincinnati Press Of Thursday, we learn that an
engagement took place some miles beyond that
place on Sunday last, which resulted in the com.
plete rout Of the rebels, under Floyd, by the
Eleventh Ohio and the Second Kentucky Regi
ments. Our informant left on Monday, and
although he 10 unable to give all Of the particulars
there can be no question to the truth regarding
the battle and the victory.
IL appears that the two regiments above-named
had been ordered TO dislodge a small body OF
secessionists, who had intrenche themselves some
miles from Gauley Bridge, and while on their
way to the place designated, Were attacked by
Floyd, with two thousand Ave hundred men.
The United States troops formed quickly, and
commenced such deadly Are, that the rebel,
were soon thrown into confusion, and fed from
the field, leaving a large number dead and
wounded. The pursuit was kept up as long
practicable, when the fugitives threw aside tn eli
arms, In great numbers, and sought mountain
paths, and trails through the forests, until they
were safe =
About two hundred and eighty prisoners were
taken, and large quantity Of baggage and equip
menb fell into the hands Of our troops. The Con.
federate outnumbered US In the start, by at least
One-third, and their complete route evfnces the
superiority Of our soldiers over theirs In an open
field. Our loss was trihing.
