SOMETHING LIKE 2ErRIBUrIox-The latast
advices from England show that the time
long foreseen has arrived, when the supply
Of cotton is. exhausted, the cotton mills
must stop, and some four n,illiong of opera-

result to Eoglany ofour war, il this matter,
is almost as serious rs the war:wi!l be to US.
1t is pity that the British fanatics, while
holding their Exeter Hall meetings, and
sending missionaries to this country for
the last fifteen or twenty years to stir up
and inhame hatred between the sections,
had not, in their howlings over the fat and
greasy African, taken a thought for their
own white slaves in Lancaster and Man.

roH.-The papers having announced the
appointment by the President, Of Prof.
JoSEs, of,the above institution, to the u. 8.
consulship to Macoa, in the Gulf of Canton,
the question has naturally arisen among
the ffiehds and patrons of the College, in
this region, what effect this al pointment
will have on the future of this institution.
Prof JOKES, who was yesterday in this
city, and honored our sapctum by call,
informs us that his proposed absence will
In NO way interfere with the affairs of Vie
college. His place as President and NAH
ager of the financial and boarding depart
ment will be taken by the Rev. W. P
Jones. while the corps of teachers is to be
increased by several important accessions.
1t Is gratifying to learn, that through
all the vicissitudes of destruction by FIRE,
the successive financial revulsions of the
country, and ,&he panic of the present war,
the College at Evanston has not only ably
sustained itself, but has continued to ad-
vance in popular favor
Prof J. has accepted this distant ap.
pointment in the hope of restoring, by
change Of climate, the vigor of q constitu.
ton now badly shattered by an overtaxed
devotion 10 his late charge. May his
hopes be fully realized.

news that the rebel ram Arkansas, which

been captured. Two Of our gunboats-
the Bragg and the sumpter-slipped down
At night and literally stole her out from

REREL RAIDS n KENTUCKY, &c.

Tremendous excitement was produced
in Southern Indiana . week ago, by a
rebel raid into that that State. A band
of rebel cavalry under one johnson made
. dash on Henderson, Tennessee, where
there is q small federal hospital with
wounded men, and "took" the place.
Being invited to do SO by some rebel sym
pathizers of Newberg, Ind, they next
crossed the Ohio river, and took the
federal hospital in that place. The news
spread over the country like wild6re, and
in day or two Gov Morton sent a force of
1000 men to Newburg and Henderson,
and a gunboat ordered up from Cairo,
upon which the rebels made tracks for
the woods and have not been heard OF
since.
Col. Morgan, who had made such q
bold raid through the centre of Kentucky,
is followed in his travels by Gen. Green
Clay Smith, with q largo body Of Ken
tncky cavalry. He was ovsrtaken at Paris
and roughly handled. and again At Owens
Vile. At last accounts he had crossed the
Cumberland and was entering Tennessee,
with the Kentuckians close upon his heels.
The rebel raid into Tennessee has also
fzzled out Murfreesboro is reoccnpied
