ANOTHER LETTER FROM BUCHANAN

Ex-Presden. Buchanan, in the National m
feifgencer of November 25th, sscloses the con-
troversy with Gen. Scott, and claims that he
ponses to the allegations of General Scott
The ex President then continues:
81 should now have nothing more to add,
had Gen. Scott, in his rejoinder, confined him
self 10 the topics embraced IN his original let
ter. He has extended them, and now for the
first time, and in sarcastic and no friendly
spirit, refers to the alleged stealing of the
public arms by Secretary Floyd, and their
transportation to the South in anticipation OF
the rebellion. The most conclusive answer to
this allegation is, that, Notwithstanding the
boasting of Mr.. Floyd at Richmond, evident
cited by the General as his authority no pub
lie arms were ever stolen. Had Gen. Scott
reflected for moment, he could not have
fallen iito this blunder.''
How far the ex-President's assertion, that
we will not say, but it has oft been stated as a
fact, that Floyd did ship to the South all the
public arms that he could lay his hands on.
Mr.. Buchanan's resortihg to sutjterfug to
TO him, on account of his course towards the
rebels u the latter part of his Administration,
will avail but little. The people believe that
he had the power to crush the rebellion in the
bud, and he neglected or refused to exercise
that power-and hence the responsibility for
its outbreak attaches to him, notwithstanding
his effort to show to the contrary.

Not more than one and quarter millions of
bales of cotton, it is stated, can be obtained
IN India the next twelve months. The Amer
ican source of supply being almost entirely
cut off, leaves deficiency of considerably
more than one half the usual supply. or the
four millions of people dependent upon the
cotton manufacture for their daily bread in
EnglanG, not less than two and halfmillions
will be left destitute OF their ordinary means
of support. Great suffering for many months
to come, cannot be avoided; and millions up
on millions of dollars will be required to sup
port the starving peopI,.
1t is striking fact that the people of that
country are experiencing more hardships from
this war than are those of fhe free States of
this Union. British cnpidity, licensed by
British laws, century ago, forced Slaves into
these colonies, against the wishes of the ma
jority Of their people,-and this is one of the
charges brought against the King of Great
Britain in the Declaration of Independence
and now, after so long time, the bitter con-
sequences of that great wrong to both blacks
and whites are coming back to them. 81 viii
visit the sins of the fathers npon the children
unto the third and fourth generation,'' says
the supreme Lawgiver and here we see it
verified in manner SO strange, so beyond all
human calculation, and yet by concentration
OF causes so simple and obvious, that he must
be blind who sees not the hand of Omnpo-
tence in the desperation.
Great Britain planted slavery here; the
Northern States abolished it, while the South
ern States refused to do so, but cherished and
perpetuated if, and made it the corner stone
Of their social and political systems. Now
mark the result. England is suffering terri
bly,. The Tree States, although engaged in
fearful war, in the enjoyment OF domestic
peace and security, their barns filled with
plenty, their people busy and for the most
part prosperous. The States that cling to
slavery wrapped IN one wide. desolating
conhag gration-drenched in blood pining in
starvation, and their people trembling in the
midst OF the alarms. These are existing facts,
plain 10 the eyes of all mankind. Some will
say that it just happened so but both reli,
gion and sound philosophy will perceive that
it happened so in accordance with law that
it is dangerous to disregard. 1t is always
dangerous to- DO wrong, always safe to do
right. This being admitted, it follows that
the Presidents proclamation is the safest step
that has been taken since cGt troubles began

PENNSYLVANIA COTTON

We have received sample of cotton that
was cultivated this season at Spfiugbil Fur
mace, Fayette, county, Pa. by Mr.. John Oil
phant. He states that he did not receive the
seed for planting early, by one month, as
he desired still he is satisfied form his expe-
rience that cotton can be cultivated success
fully in Pennsylvania, and he is going to
gage in its cultivation on more extensive
scale next year. The quality is short staple.
and is of good strong fiber. The great draw
back to the successful cultivation of cotton in
any of the Northern States will be orr late and
early frosts; still there are many situations,
especiall on plains, protected by hills from
north winds where it may be successfully grown
in fhe southern part of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. We have also been informed that
there is species OF cotton in China and Japan.
cultivated in latitudes as high as that of New
York city, and that it is used extensively in
making both cloth and paper. The seed OF
snch cotton should be imported and tried.

native one.-Scientifc american.

NAVAL PREPARATIONS.

There is unusual activity In allthe ship yards
of tbe country, fitting out vessels-of-waf in
tended for operations against rebellion. In
the last six weeks thirty gunboats have been
fitted out in the Boston, New 7 ork, and Phil
adelphia navy yards, carrying 221 guns, and
all the vessels are steamers. At Portsmouth
and Washington the work has been equally as
rapid and extensive. The destinat ion of these
vessels is purposeiy withheld. In the West
the movements are quite as extensive, and a
land and naval expedition. under General Nc
Clernand and Admiral Porter, is to be a very
formidable enterprise, the object of which is
to open the Mississippi, so that single OBJ
st-uction shall not remain. Caionel Ellett's
ram feet is to have prominent position in
the fotlIa. Tie boats composing it have
been thoroughly overhauled and put in con-
dition for winters campaign. They can be
used as rams in an action with the enemy's
boats, and can perform valuable service in con-
veying transports through dangerous portions
OF the river. They are armed with boat how
itzers aud u pound guns. The Switzerland
will be the flag boat of the ram feet She
has been completely " casemated in every part,
and will be able to do excellent service should

SoUNDNEss AND SCARCITY OF CURRENCY
Nothing could better Illustrate the soundness
of our national currency, than the fact that
the parties who took the late thirteen million
loan were unable to find in the market sufii-
cient government paper with which to make
their payments into the treasury. The banks
on which their checks were drawn were una
ble to pay in that currency, and were obliged
to certify a part OF the checks. This fact
shows the confidence OF the public in the pa
per of the Government.
