1t will be seen from the above that on the
average difference Of more than third be-
tween the two cities. What will II be q few
weeks hence, when the greater stringency OF
the blockade, the interruption of their communi-
cations with Missouri aud Kentucky, from
whence they have latterly been drawing
largo portion Of their supplies, and the in
cTeasing necessities Of their army in Virginia,
will have added to the embarrassmeuts of the
seeded States? So alarmed, in fact, are
their people at the prospect, that where
their means allow them they arc laying
in stores Of provisions to last them during the
fall and winter. EYen in Texas, which We
are tola is capable of studying food to the
whole Of the South for the next s"~ years. this
IS being very generally done. 1t is evidel. taat
in the cotton States generally great deal Of
distress and suffering is already experienced,
and many no doubt bitterly regret the coward
ice which prevented them from resisting the,
tide of aecessfonism when it lrst SGT in.
Whilst their co-Confederates are thus endee.
voring to guard against the pinchings Of hunger,
the rebels at Harper's Ferry have, we sec, been
destroying whole carloads Of provisions.
Whether THE was done from bravado, to show
how abundantly they ere supplied, or from in
ability to carry them with them, the fact cannot
be very agreeable one to those who are re-
auced to a state bordering on starvation by
the incesssnt demands made upon them by this
army OF freebooters. Before such acts are re-
peated, we would recommend the rebel leaders
9 remember their poor suffering brethren

,eifuitias that which they 30 wanton'y give to
destruction.

GENERAL Pillows COTTON BALE DErEYcEs- -
From news published recently Ia the HERALD,
it appears that cotton bale defsnces are In
course Of erection at Memphis. The bluff is to
be protected by cotton preastworks, and every
street. with the exception of Madison and JEFF
ferson, will be barricadei with the same mate
rial. Such are General Pillows orders. This
is worthy of the general who in the Mexican
war made the ditch Of an intrenchment on the
wrong side. All well informed military men
know that cotton is not suitable for defensive
works against artillery, and that tbs vulgar
error that General jackson defended New Or
leans with batteries constructed 81 cotton bales
has been long since exploded. Tho story was
first set atoat by the English, who thus en-.
deayored to account for their signal defeat.
The only foundation for 1t is shown By the best
historian of the battle to have been the follow
ing facR:--1n the hurry Of constructing tho
breastTorhs below New Orleans, some of the
officers Of Jacksons army, seeing a fatboat at
hand with fifty bales of cotton, took them aud
threw them into the piles of earth, to Increase
the bulk, ana so expedite tho operation. The
balls, striking one, knocked it out of
the works and set fire to the cotton. aud sent

'moke from the burning cotton blinded the ar
lleiists erd seriously effected the eff ,ieroy a.
