CorTON.-On the 2Sth OF December, 1861
the stock Of cotton at Liverpool was 554 900
bales, sirteen thousand more bales than on tie
same day Of December, 1860
The Liverpool cotton stock is likely to be
drawn upon for the supply Of this country.
Order. for dily thousand bales are reported to
have already gone out from New York. But
even with this demand from a wholly new
quarter, the Liverpool stock will hold out UT.
til the l,t OF April, when the new India crop
will begin to come in. II that crop is as "gi
ya,tic NE the Euglishmsn expect, there will
be ne cotton famine this year, and If not this
year, then never, even II the cotton cultivation
Is finally abandoned in our Southern States.

IsTEREsT-MR. rkNToN,s BILL.

The following is the bill introduced in the
Hou'e, on the 9th instant, by Mr.. Fcnton, of
New York:
"Be II endcted by u,e Senate and House of R.,.
resenidt,pes of the United States OF Americn ~,
Congress assembled That any person having
any claim or claims against the Government Of
the United States, which shall have been duIy
audited or certified by the proper officer Of
the Government, and presented for paymen,
shall be entitled 10 interest, at the rate of six
per centum per annum thereon, from and after
The expiration of thirty days from the time OF
presentation for payment aforesaid"
Such bill would be just at any time, and In
the present condition Of affairs, 1t Is especially
needed. 1t puts all the creditors Of the Gsv.
srnment on the same footing Of equality, by
indemnifyiDg those who are delayed. 1t will
put an end to the struggle for isvoritism in
the payment Of audited claims a struggle
which leads necessarily TO doucs,vs to persons
having, or assuming to have, su influence to
give priority TO such claims as they favor. II
will also prevent the ruinous sacrifices which
are sometimes made upon such claims, to the
enrichment OF sbsrpers II is thus sxpedient,
in every point Of view, as It Is certainly just.

AUSTRIA ON THE TRENT AFFAIR.

On the 18th Dec, Count Rechberg addressed
communication to Chevalier Hulsem inu, Aus.
trian Minister to the United States. ON the sub.
ject OF the Trent affair, In which he says:
" Without examining ihto the question, Austria
cannot but acknowledge that, according 10 the
principles OF international law, adopted by al!
Powers, and which the American Government
itself has often taken as to the rule Of their
conduct, England could not in any wine, In the
present case, refrain from complaining Of the
atfront given to her flag, and from asking
proper rcparation Of It." Austria thinks there
was nothing offensive in the British demand.
Mr.. Seward, in bis courteous reply, on th
9th OF January, transmits to Chevalier Hulse
mann copy Of the recent correspondence
and calls attention to two points: FIRST that the
United States are not only incapable for mo
ment Of seeking to disturb the peace Of th
world, but are deliberately just aud iriendl
in their intercourse with all foreign nation
and, secondly, that they will not be untai thfu
to their traditions and policy as an sdvocat
Of the broadest liberality 10 the application Q
these principles OF international law to tn
conduct OF maritime affairs. The United States
he says, will sincerely rejoice If the ques tio
which has given rise to this corresp ondeno
shall be embraced 30 az TO obtain revision Q
the law Of nations, which will render NOR
definite and certain the rights and obligation
OF States 10 time Of war.

COLONlZATION.

1t Ii the common fate Of the recommenda
tons Of practical and practicable measures, to
be postponed by the discussion Of schemes,
which, by being more comprehensive, involve,
on that very account, elements OF disputation,
which insure delay, and not unfrequ,ntly pre-
vent anything whatever being done.
The President, in bis annual message, asked
for an appropriation TO assist the emigration
Of such negroes as are ,oiuiny 10 emgrdte." :"
That much ought TO be done, even II more
ought to be done, and If Congress should now
act upon the suggestion Of Mr.. Lincoln, il
would still be at liberty to adopt a more
sweeping measure, IL any such can be agreed
upon at future day.
We have now, ut Fortress Monroe, and y
various other points along the line Of ou
operations against the rebel States, collection
Of colored refugees, portion Of whom woul,
gladly accept an offer to be assisted in emf
grating. To say nothing of other openings
the agent Of the Hsytien Government offers t,
transport to Hayti at twenty dollars per head
all colored persons who may be turned over t,
him for that purpose in Hampton Roads. Ant
we have, moreover, sufficient reason to believe
that the prospects Of lsborers in Hayti are 81
good, that emigration to that island Is hu
name measure, 90 far as the interests of emf
grants are concerned.
In letter to the New York Herald, written
January l, at Hatteras, where many Of these
colored refugees are collected, we find the fol
lowing:
These colored men are becoming anxious
for the future, and they seem TO see the diff
cIlties of their situation. l think that, should
the war end with au or 4er d recting their re
turn TO their owners a large percentage of then
will commit suicide. have heard them, whei
specializing in their cabins on this point, de
clare that they would never, never, neve
return to Roanoke and slavery. These negrOei
are ready to be shipped TO any cline ignoran
Of the slave code, TO any planet which secure
free air to men,"
Of course, it is the special province OF Con
gress to determine how large an appropriation
for tie emigration Of these persons Is conslsten
with the condition and necessities of the eoun
try.
No very great appropriation is at present, q
least. called for. The details of the emigration
may safely be left to the President, who cal
decide, from time to time, to what places thi
emigration can be best directed, and in wha
manner It shall be conducted.

GOVERNOR LET, HERS MEssAGE.

GOVERNOR LETi II ER's MESSAGE.
On the 9Th instant, Gov. Letcher, Of Virginia,
sent bis message to the Legislature Of the State,
accompanied with letter from Governor
Brown and the joint resolutions recently
adopted by the Legislature Of Georgia, In
which they declare that the separation Of the
latter State " Is fnal and irrevocsble, and tina,
they will, under no circumstances, entertain
any proposition from any quarter which may
have for It's object restoration or reconstruc
tiun Of the old Union, on any terms or condi
tions whatever"
The message is an extraordinary Estate
paper p portion Of it initiates the style Of ou
Declaration Of Independence, substituting th'
name OF President Lincoln for George tb'
Third, in setting forth bis grievances Tb
Governor is full Of fight, and manitcsts spiri
Of reckless daring and determination TO con
quer or die. One Of his closing paragraphs j
the following:
"The occurrences Of the past nine month
have demonstrated conclusively that we canno
live together as equals under the Governmen
of the United States; and the hsbitusl violation
Of the provisions Of the Constitution, and th'
open disregard Of the laws by President Lin
coln and his officials render governmental as
socistion between us impossible. Mutual re
spect between the citizens Of the Southern Con
iederacy and those of the North has ceased l.
exist. Mutual confidence has been succeedet
by mutual distrust, and mutual good will b.
mutual aversion. No Government can be Gu
during which does not possess the ELECTION AMI
respect of the governed. 1t cannot be that th'
people Of the Confederate States can again en-
tertsin q feeling Of affection and respect Tor th
Government OF the United States. We hav'
therefore, separated from them; and nOp lei
