played; but TIL we are assured that they armed
with sufficient power 10 carry out measures of re-
| form, 1t would be unreasonable TO look for anv
wholesome change in the constitution of the army
The faults in cur system were, at least, corrected,
| though not until private benevnlence had been
brought in to their ameliOratOn; but in the pres
ent excited and disorGered state OF the Federast
leaders, very little attempt is being made to guard
against the repetition Of the shameful occurrences
after the ignominious flight from Bulls Run. They
have evidently great deal more to learn than
England had in the Crme&n days, and, unhappily,
they have not as yet gone beyond the point OF
making suggestions and discussing plans. They
are in the middle of a war; without having made
| adequate preparations of any kind to meet it.
| There never army which stood in greater
need of General like Wellington than that of the
! Northern States. The officers absent themselves
| when they please, Intemperauce among them is
common, and they i'll terms with the rank
and file. The Commissioners design to strike at the
root of these evils by re-0lCering the forces, while
the men Will be placed under discipline more severe
and more salutarv than they have heretofore been
accustomed to- The sanitary arrano of the
camp have been vile beyond description, and al
most every regiment seems to have been free to live,
eat, Sleep and act in ust whatever way it plea sed.
General Mcclellan is the Hercules who is expected
| to undo this rotten system; and unless he is very
prompt in his measures, we shall certainly have
| little cause to congratulate the Federal Govern
ment on the condition of its army or on the steps
II has taken to mitigate the horrors OF civil war.

| THE COTTON SUPPLY.
Hitherto India has only sent US some seven per
| 1FrC nth, ai,,ht ,,ar cr6 tba
| United States supplied the remainder-eghty-fv
per cent This year India sends much larger
proportion, but by no means what we might ex.
pecr, considering how earnestly and urgently the
subject has been pressed on the attention of the
| authorities during the last ten or twelve years.
The three great cotton fields in possession
are India, Queensland, and the Island Of Jamaica,
the latter formerly producing cotton of very fine
staple and which could produce it again if the ne
crssary stimulus were applied. 1t was towards
this field that the spinners Of Manchester and the
manufacturing districts ought to have directed
their attention when they first began to entertain
fears respecting an almost exclusive dependence
the American supply The island wants two re-
quisites-more capital and more labor.
il is IN the power Of tho cotton interest in Eng
land to furnish BOTH and then Jamaica would pos
sess advantages greater than either India or
Queensland. In the first place, its more imme-
date proximity to the mother country is verv
important feature; and second, the means of tran
sit, though not always good and rapid NAV be
desired, far in advance Of the other sources OF
supply referred to. We believe that the immigra-
ton of co0ie labor into Jamaica has been improving
recently, but this is a subject to which the atten-
tion OF the Manchester manufacturers may be
directed with advantage. This much at all events
is certain, that If Jamaica had had the atten-
tion bestowed upon it in the way of cotton pro-
ducipg that India has had, the results would have
been on much larger and more satisfactory scale.

THE SECESSIONIsTS N ENGLAND;

~ While our credit sinks like lead, these busy
hands are writing money articles for the Times,

over the country, bidding fGriCusly against

not without success They have got money

though from whom, and at what awful discount,
do not undertake even to guess. They are san

their reasons for being so. Nor is all this the
worst.
Within the last few days, it is rumored that they
have succeeded in equippng and sending oil an
