Cheap Cotton.

The Yankees have been assuring the world including
their manufacturers, that the capture OF New Or
leans and Memphis would reopen the cotton market and
make the staple bota abundant and cheap. Such EAs
the promise and they succeeded in sAvug of European
Intervention mainly by the weak willingness of the Brit
ah Ministry to believe il. The result has come in the
shape OF sSles Of cotton in New York at So cts and in
Liverpool at I'D Presently these sums doubled or
q1Adrupled will not buy cotton, because there will be
none sale. Europe will then ascertain to iis
TIE folly Of ts unnatural delay in interpreting to prevent
the continuation Of the War.

This act ia in direct violation Of Section 81 Article
IVth, of the Constilut on, which reads az follows:
New States may be admitted by the Congress into

within he jurisdiction OF any other STATE; any State
be formed by the Junction Of tSo or more States or

IsPMwILLs osrNrLroUs DONATION TO TIE YANKEE
GOVERNMENT.

The New York Herald, of 2Oih inst, says:
The newspapers OF Yesterday state that Mr. William
a. AspinSgi hns donated twenty ii 20 thousand dollars
to increase the alances Of the Government. Twenty
Eve thouSld doar4 though 1t will 60 but very little
way towards paying the daily expenses Of this var, is
still qlite large for private citizen to give to the
Government But unfortunately, 1t appears that this
benevolent AspinW all has really made donation at al
Toe money he gave TO the Government was simply his
profit upon Government gun contract that the Gov
eminent receyes back only what il paid out and is really
10 better an tLan before although Mr.. AspnWal geta
plenty Of praises. Why this is halt liberal do
patton as the three thousand dollars aud yeat
vice OF tho Henrietta which contributed to the Gov,
crnment aud out from cur private purse, acd With
on. any gun ship contracts whatever Bat the best OF
this rich Joke is thai Mr. AspinWa is sid to have made
more moaey than Morgan by buying and selling ships
for the Government. The twenty five thousand dollars
pre- fl Ls sdu contracts Mr.. AspGNA returns to the
government bu. the oIe hundred thousand dollars profit
upon bis Government ship operations no pits in his own
pocket This ia a very wicked and credncds world aud
so NJ Aspinwan makes seventy FIVE thousand dollars,
clear sonfciencs and FIRST class pIroc reputation, BY
these transactions II he wJu return all his profits
Government contracts, and could induce two anda halt
per cent Morgan do the same, then the affair might
deserve to be gIzstted in Of Secretary Santons
