RS~ A general order was issued on Satur-
day to dicharge from arrest all persons now
in military custody, who have been arrested
for discouraging volunteer enlistnents, oppo-
sing the draft or for otherwise giving aid and
comfort TO the enemy, in States where the
draft has been made, or the quota of volnn-
teers and militia has been furnished The
same order says that persons who, by authorl-
ty of the Military Commander or Governor in
Rebel States, have been arrested and sent
from such States for diSloyalty or hostility to
the Government of the United States and are
now in military custody, may also be discharg
ed upon giving their parole to do no act of hos
tility against the Government of the United
States. nor render aid to its enemies Such
persons may be sent out of the loyal State on
condition of not returning again during the
war. The order does not discharge any per
son who has been in arms against the Govern
ment. or bv force and arms has resisted or at
tempted to resist the draft, nor relieve any
person from liability to trial and punishment
by civil tribunals, or by court-martials or mil
itary commissions, who may be amenable to
such tribunals for otfe nses committed.

raap The steamship Arabja passed Cape
Race Monday morning, and her adviceS, which
are one week later, are telegraphed. BY this
arrival We receive the important intelligence
that the Emperor Napoleon has made pro
poSa for mediation between the belgerentS
in the United States to the British Govern
ment, but that the latter has declined to 0e-
come party. Earl RusselI's official reply to
the proposition, dated the 18th inst, is pub
ljShed in the London Gazette l. recognizes
the humane views and benevolent intentions
Of the Emperor, but observes that the concur
renee of Russia, expressly desirable had not
been obtained and after weighing all the IT,
formation obtained from America, the Gov
ernment concludes there is no ground at the
present time to hope that the United States
Government would accept the proposal, a re-
fusal Of which would prevent any speedy re-
newal of the offer OF the Governments there.
fore it is better to watch carefully the pro-
gresS of opinion in America, and to embrace
the first good oppOrt~n for offering media
ton which may occur. The publication of
this dispatch produced no effect commercially.
The Paris llonitsur says the answers of Eng,
land and Russia are an adjournment of the
question of mediation, but it thinks their hesi
tation has nearly reached its limit, as the re-
cent elections in the North testify to the pro

ILLINOIS CoTroY AND ToBACCo.-This year
has demonstrated beyond doubt or question
that the prairies Of Illinois are completely
adapted to the cotton plant and that the eli
mate of Illinois presents 10 obstacle to It's sue
cesstul cultivation. Large fields were planted
to cotton in April a.d May last, and they
were sufficiently matured before the frost came,
to be gathered, yielding an average OF 800
pounds per acre Samples before US show
that the staple is of superior quality, fully
equal to the best upland that is grown in
the most favored cotton districts Satisfied
with the success of this years planting, com
paneS OF gentlemen interested in developing
the material prosperity OF the State, and indi-
viGua farmers, are making preparations to
ly enlarged scale next season The question
of cotton cultivation in Illinois as new source
Of wealth, is considered as settled. Estimates
by the local papers give 10000 bales as the
yield of the State this year.
The crop Of tobacco in Illinois is unprece'
dentediy large AS much as $500 hhds will
be shipped from Carbondale, station on the
Illinois Central Railroad and Southern Illi-
nois will send as much tobacco and hemp to
market as the whole State of Kentucky. The
millions o: bushels Of grain which the West
exports furnish almost the sole medium of eX-
change for the staples and manufactures of
the old world and until our political troubles
are settled this must continue to be the case
