The orders of the Confederate Government,
forbidding the shipment Of cotton TO the sea-
ports, have been generally observed. The plan
tations and country villages are wsll stocked
with the staple. The difficulty is where to find
2 m7rket for It. II must be there either until
the United States open ports for It's transbip-
ment, OF until that much talked of blockade
breaking takes place. Messengers from the
rebel Commissioners in Europe arrive every
month by way of Canada, of Texas, and even

so easily obtained as it was heretofore.
McClellen is very highly esteemed as a mill
i'ary leader; but Liuthorn-as they call the
Ptesident-comes 10 for all sorts of abuse and
vilifca'icn.
The negroes seem to relish the present con-
fiiiOp of affdirs very much. The military ex-
citemeut possesses great charms for them.
ChFy sew yellow stripes to their pants as sort
of uniform, and fancy themselves thorough
paced soldiers. Those who remain on the
plantations are delighted, because their labor
is not so irksome and continuous as IL used to
he, and the riRor Of tie overseer has been re-
laxed. Those employed on the forti6cations do
their work chsorfully, melted TO it by the raw
head and. bloody. bone stories about the terri
BILE Yankee Aboltionists, which they think
something worse than cholera and yellow fever.
They are told that the war is to defend them,
and TO keep them from being sold into Cuba.
The negroes in the cities, to Ens and border
Sta'es know better than to give credenos to
such stories; bat not SO the field hands in the
cotton States.
There are no apprebensions of a servile in
surrection entertained, nor is there a thought
bestowed upon the subject. The only danger
is from the mass Of negroes that have been sent
from the border States into the interior of the
Gulf States. These are generally hard cases,
and calculated to spread mutiny and dissatis.
faction among their more ignorant and inno-
cent fellow victims. Still it will take some
time for their influence to be NANTES ted. The
negroes from the northern border of Tennessee
are being daily sent South.
