XEAR OF COTTON FAMINE.

The Manchester. Cotton Supply RPorsr OF
Nov. - is a singular budget OF congratulations
and complaints, Of hopes aud fears, of praises
and recrlmina;ions from a multitude of parties
interested in seeing that England is supplied
with cotton. ii prints this sentence in capitals
-" We have just been informed on the highest
authority that, III some parts Of india, tho ryots
are now blowing up grain foot high, and
sowing cotton in its stead" la Turkey, cotton
growing has been so successful the present year
that the Governor of Adgianope writes to
Manchester for twelve tuns Of American lccd,
and promises to extend tue cultivation. The
Bey of Tanis has exempted 1000 acres of land
from taxation for ten years, which are to be
plated by an English company. In Jira2il
there is m active demand Tor seed, but no

Rebel States, which appeared in our second edition
yesterday, is printed on the second page of this

The Democratic organs have weared the
general ear ever since the Ohio election with
clamorouG rejoicing over the assumption that the

condemned the Administration; and when Sey-
mour was elected in New-York, their boastings
were 70 yoclierous and positive that 1t was
generally taken for granted that they wero

but chose 30 observe silence until The figures OF
tho official clnyassers should domonsirate the

we cannot lope; they have exhausted themselves

doctrine that the man who fights for his coun-

for the following table OF official majortles in

Ii by no means follows that this end would be

the bare chance of it is eagerly snatched at by
those who are more anxious to uphold Slavery
than to restore the Union.
Since the above was written, we have the
report of yesterdays proceedings in Congress,
wherein the Senate has resolved that the Com
mttee on the Conduct of the War shall inves

the Senate. This looks like business, and we
rejoice in being able to chronicle it. Had suci
investigation and report been promptly and
thoroughly made with regard to the shameful
disasters of Bull Run and Balls Bluff, and The
facts properly acted on we should have had ne
more such to lament. But those were slurred
over, and we are realizing tho bitter fruits

One Of the bollest movements which even
our Board of Aldermen has ever mad was
started on Monday last, aud is 20 be brought
up by them to-day Tor final action. 1t is no
less than an a. empt to turn the Central Park
Commission out Of possession OF the Park, IN

il, like the smaller parks of the city, under
the control of the new Street Commissioner.
The leader Of the Ring" Alderman BOole,
declare, with es much assurance as th0ugh
Judge had told him so, that on the passage Of
the resolutions now before tho Board, the
Street Commissioner can within ten days get
an order from the Supreme Court, under
which the Sheriff rill PIT him in possession.
These Aldermen assert that they have been
ready to do this for "A long time past, as soon
as they could be certain that tue Legislature
would NOT intervene. The Mayor will, Of
course, veto their resolutions, which will kill
the movement for this year; but if unlimited
