The receipts of cotton for the week reach 90, 700
bales. For the corresponding week last year they
were 81 $50 bales. The weekly returns from Mo
bile are not at hand. The sales of the week have
been 81 500 bales, against IS 500 bales same week
last year and 1000 bales for corresponding week
in 1859. We cannot perceive how any complaints
can be brought forward in regard to the move
ments for this week, in face of so great drawback
as the low rates of exchange. The intelligence
from Europe has been delayed. The latest ct
hand was brought by the City of Baltimore, which
arrived at New York this morning. The accounts
are up to the 3lst ult. from Liverpool, and quote
the market dull under decline of 3D. We, how
ever, expect that when the full details for the week
ending the I'd inst. (now fully due) come to hand
by the Africa. the prices will be found to be not
much varied from I'D. for Middling Orleans. The
accounts from Manchester are reported to be IN.
favorable, but. these are, no doubt made up for
the occasion. 1t must not be overlooked that the
Liverpool market fluctuates at this season of the
year, particularly when our markets on this side
have during the season, been up and down. then
steady for space of time, then down and up
again. There will be three steamers due from
England the coming week, say the Africa of the
3D. the Jura of the 5th, the Nova Scotian of the
It'll, and the FNlton, from Havre, of the 9th, and
the Bavaria. The future Of the cotton market for
this season now remains with the cotton planters
and factors of New Orleans and Mobile.
Among the cummings up of the great cotton
States we find that the value of cotton exported to
foreign countries from the year 1920 to the close
of the fiscal year 1861, amounts to the enormous
sum of S2,574, S34 900, or say too thousand fee
hundred and SeUeHtyfOur millions of dollars.

the part Of some for the future safety OF

the purpose Of swakenisg spirit Of
peace and harmony in our community
that causes me to intrude upon you At
this time.
tbs Tsurn u, during the last six or
eight months, the great political bubble
has exploded. and both Republicans and
Democrats find themselves adoat. They
have lost sight. Of the ship constitu-
tion," and are clamorous on each other
in the political sea, in which they are
adrift. 1t is struggle for life, tor they,
in such perilous condition, see nothing
bu. destruction and wide waste before
them.
Tho Democrats say the "constitution"
has floated to the South. The Republi-
cana on the contrary, contend it is yet
in the North. The Abolitionists-and
fire eaters of the South say she is
wrecked-split in twain and each halt
probably taken adverse directions.
Now, Mr.. EDITOR, is it possible for
them to be convinced that the old ship
is yet afoat and sound as ever-that
she is right in our midst, and that We
could all see it, bright and clear as day
light, if We would just throw aside our
partisan telescopes and once more be-
leve our natural eyes. ! venture to say
that some almost think they can dis
cover little glimmering OF its light al
ready, and l firmly believe if they can
keep themselves afoat q little longer,
that the major part OF the Republicans
aud Democrats will be finally picked up
and gath cred safely on board, and q
jolly time they will have. They will re-
joice together and make the old ship
echo from centre to circumference.
