1t was remarkably quiet on the flags yesterday.
There is so little cotton for sale and such restricted
means for paying for it, that all interest in it APP
pears to be absorbed, swallowed up as it were, by
The war movements. AS regards the question of
war. that may be deemed as settled. We are to
have two Or three grand battles, but where or OF
what points is in the womb of futurity. Old General
Fuss and Feathers. the doughty Cameron, famous
for Turing the hard working sons Of the Emerald
Isle into trouble and difficulty, with Abraham Lin
coln, are determined on d fight Well, let them
come on. It is very doubtful if the hoary headed,
vile instigator Of the crusade, the chief scuon as
1T were, will make his appearance on the stage.
We alude to the old traitor. FrancisP P. Blair now
residing in Maryland the chief scnllion Of the Van
Buren, Administration, say from 1887 to lSll.
Though, the old villain had much to do with the
Administration Of Gen. Jackson, he was a mere
sculion stole thousands on thousands of dollars
through printing contracts, and would have sold
himself to Nicholas Biddle and The United States
Bank, like James Watson Webb, but Mr.. Biddle
scorned the proposal; besides, Blair, when re,
siding in Kentucky, previous to 1929, paid off q
large debt to the United States Bank at about ter
cents on the dollar. This fellow as he was called
has now son q member of Lincoln's Cabinet, ant
another son presumed to represent the city of ST
Louis in the next Congress Of the old concern
These are very nice men to lead the destinies 0
the old Government Old Blair and his two son
win become as famous as the old Kitchen Cabine
under Martin Van Buren. The inquiry is made
awhere ii Amos Kendall II another member Of tn
old Kitchen Cabinet. Amos, we believe, retire
from the political world many years ago, and tn
last W. heard of him he was President OF som
telegraph line.
Towards meridian it was announced that seye
days later intelligence from Europe was at hand
First By the Arabia, arrived at Halifax with date
no to ths 10Th, and subsequently the Adriatic, g
the Galway line was announced as having arrive
at ST. Johns, with dates mp TO the Esd, quoting Or

enough. There was some talk that the fall OF For
Sumter would have an effect, causing an adganc
at once OF Id. AS our trans tlantic cousins or
greatly given TO excitement, well as expedients
we should not be surprised TO learn but what Sur
I Ter. though Knocked down, would send the Liver
pool eottnn market mp 10 the hopes and aspiration
I 81 shippers. We sympathize with these npwar
feelings, aud trust ehippers' anieieations may b
realized TO the fullest extent.
A truce 20 talking about things over the water
/ All desired now from John Bull IS the recognize
