but alas. bitter disappointment meets
them. They have no means to leave

them where they may obtain work. If
these troubles continue for any consider

The convention presented an appear

Governor Letcher declines expressing
his opioion openly previous TO the receipt

cury of last Saturday, and give it place in our
columns for its peculiar significance at this june
ture of affairs. Does not everything proclaim to
us we are right, and ought to so head:
SECESSION AND CoTToN AT 124 CENTS
The old Union is dissolved; seven States
are bearing arms and anticipating war,
and vet cotton, the great staple of the
South, the food of millions, the king of the
world, is at the enormous price of II!
cents per pound. 1t has not been so high
for years 1t goes up in the midst Of q
revolution, and despite the prophecies of
Black Republicans and timid Submission
lists in the Border States, that commerce
would be destroyed by secession and our
farmers would suffer great loss in the re-
duction of the price Of this article, we
behold them withhappy faces, filling their
pockets with the money thus made, and
thanking kind Providence for the prosper
Gus times. Cotton at II! cents, and the
revolution going on! This takes the Re
publicans abacll, and forces an acknowl-
edpment from some ofour patriotic South
crn friends who opposed secession, that
things have not turned out half so bad
aftcr all. Negroes are high, cotton is
high, the season is propitious for good
crop our people are happy, and one shout
goes up from mountain to valley for our
new Government and the blessings OF
liberty which it dispenses to its subjects.
Three cheers for the Confederate States
and the present price of ootton.-Colan'-
