The Coneordia Intelgencer a thorough going and
able democratic Journal pressed the passage of the
cotton BILL and says, if the appropriation asked for by
the planters be devoted to Fhe construction Of
navy Or military defences shou hear nothing about
the bankruptcy Of the State depreciation of the cur
rency No would dispute but that the creditof the
State was firm enough to even mach larger sum. Why
then can she not afford the relief needed bf the cot
ton planters? We should have mbch preferred to have
seen this aid come from the Confederate congress- for
they was that enacted the law fiat binds the hands
Of the cotton producer preventing him from realsiug

Herald gives publicity to the following ridiculous par
agraph:
L appears that sample Of cotton grown in Christian
county, Illinois in 1861 was sent to the supply assoeia
ton Of Manchester England and member Of the house
Of commons writes in reply that it was twenty five per
cent better than New Orleans cotton. 1t is evident
from this that cotton be grown in the southern tier
Of the northern States and only careful culture

duced abuudantly in northern State Maple sugar is
peculiarly production in the northeastern States
But the Chinese and African sugar have been re-
Gently introduced into the northwestern States partic

that the north is not dependent the south for any of
its three great staples-sugar cotton and o5acco-and
