WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?-In the ad-
vertising columns of the Delta, we find
the following notice from Governor Moore.
NOTICE. The Governor will be glad
to receive information whether any cotton
brought to this city under permi, has
been sold here. No permits have been
issued except for immediate expectation,
aud by request of the Confederate govern
n,ent: and if the conditions imposed have
been violated the Governor would like to
know the parties"
We do not understand this. 1t is gen~
era.ly believed BY tie people Of this region
that the cotton shipped under these per-
n.its is purchased by Yankees. This te-
lief is encouraged by the fact that tbs
vessels which run the blockade bring no
return cargoes of arms, munitions of war,
aud other articles of value to us. Is it
possible that the G. oDfederate government
IS party to this traffic with cur enemies?
We are 10th to believe it, and yet Cover
nor Moore informs us these permits are
issued "hy request of the Confederate
government" What becomes of the cot
tn thus shipped, we learn from the Ha-
vana correspondence Of the Delta. In his
letter of January 18th, he says: On the
9th inst, We had the pleasure of welcom-
ing TO our port once more Capt McCon-
nell, Of the Confederate steamer Calhoun,
with cargo Of cotton, already disposed
of. Of one thing certain, the cotton once
here and free Of contracts made 10 New
Orleans for other markets, will 90 TO the
highest bidders, at present to be found
among the Yankee spiuncrs and their
agents in New York aud Boston.
We trust that Senator Brown ami our
Representatives Chambers and Barksdale
will look into this matter. If we are to
trade with Yankees give US all chance !;
and do not compel the planters to endure
all the evils Of a restricted commerce to
enrich the uuscrupulous speculator. in the
msratime ciries.-Copiah Mss Ncws.
