the Republican Representatives, got their

so bad as we are represented. He called oD
Mr. Lincoln, talked freely with him. and
heard the President elect express his sentl-
meuts aud intentions. He learned that Mr..
Lincoln entertained none but the kiDdest
feelings toward the people of the South, and
that be would protect the South in ber just
rights. lie had long conversation, aud

Mr.. Lincoln, 10 company with friend. who

COTTON BY RAILROAD AND RIVER TO

We find in The Pittsburg Journal the sub
joined
Nearly all the immense trade hitherto
carried on through New Orlearns and via
Memphis, Chattanooga and Charleston or
Savannah is now rapidly turning northward,
aud finding its way to the seaboard via
Cincinnati Pittsburg and Baltimore. Pitts
burg is ready to do her part in the vast trade
that is thus forced upon her. A large feet
Of steamers is preparing TO do this carrying
trade already begun. There is also regular
Pittsburg aud Memphis line Of boats esta-
blished. The kenton, Captain Crooks, and
the Citizen, Captain shouse, will carry from
1900 to 1000 bales of cotton. We perceive
that oil the available boats are already taken
up at Memphis. A Memphis paper of the
10th says:
There was a perfect feet OF Cincinnati
and Pittsburg boats yesterday The depar'
lures were the Lady Franklin, with l0ll
bales the Arizona, with 1850 bales and 500

and the lzetts with lll7 bales cotton"
| The same issue OF the same paper remarks
"There has been general change 10 regard
| TO the direction in which cotton is being ship
ped from this point. Two days ago ami the
! New Orleans packets were being loaded "a
their guards, and their capacity tested 10 the
utmost. Now we learn by a prominent
steamboat man, their prospects for continued
large trips are slim, While there are from nine
TO ten thousand bales Of cotton awaiting
shipment for the Ohio river. On Saturday
4l00 bales for the Ohio river, and no ship
mehts for New Orleans.
AL this, of course, arises from the course
pursued by the Southern States r obstruc
