current Of trade, however shallow.
Everybody knows that to cut off tho trade
Of an enemy is sure way to weaken him.
Then why does the War Department in
sist upon supplying the South with gold
for cottonp
The reason is that England wants COT
ton; her people are hungering and starving
for lack of it There is danger, they say,
of disorder and insurrection, in England,
because our atrocious war has stopped
their cotton supply, closed their mills, and
turned loose thousands Of furnishing and
desperate operatives England must have
cotton to feed her starving poor; she must
have it, perhaps, to prevent revolution. It
IS this war which has taken away from
her a staple so essential to both her
prosperity and peace, and she may claim
the right Of intervention to end the war,
restore her supply Of cotton, and secure
herself against great and threatening dan
gers. Hence it is that our government is so
desirous to buy all the cotton it can; and
does not hesitate to pay gold for it, though
1t knows that the gold will forthwith reap
pear in the form of supplies for the rebel
army, glitter in their bayonets, and crash
through Union ranks in balls and shells,
That is bad enough all men know, but tits
deemed moi 60 bad as Intervention
When the reckoning is hereafter made
Of all the wrong and injury England has
wrought us in this war; of the money she
has cost us; the torment and torture she
has inflicted upon us; the sickness and
wounds, and deaths she has caused Us the
great aid az d comfort she has given the
traitors, and the many heavy and foul
blows she has struck us, they too shall not
he forgotten.

BRIG. GEN. WILLIAMS.

The Indianapolis Journal, noticing the
death Of Brig. Gen. Thomas Williams,
says:
ttThe report Of Gen. Williams death may be
true, and i It is it viii cause little lamentation.
He was utterly detested by his men, and Il they
fought under him at all 1t was because they 1oEed
their country @ IN more r. than they hated him and
country, for Williams had the most winning way
to make men hate him that ne ever heard Of"
"Nz dc nortuss nisi 6onunz :" IS maxim
which does not apply to Gen. Williams
among the friends Of the Wisconsin,
Michigan and Indiana soldiers whose
misfortune it was to be placed under
him at Baton Rouge, We have re-
ceived letters from the 4th WIS
consin and 9Th Michigan Regiments,
written by as brave, truthful and
Intelligent men as ever were mustered into
their count1y's service, setting forth the
most shameful, disloya1, barbarous and
cowardly conduct on the part Of General
Williams. His whole soul was enlisted
in the business Of saving slavery with the
Union, if possible, but saving slavery at all
hazards. Since the battle Of Baton Rouge
we have seen copy of official specifca-
tons, embracing charges Of the gra7est
character, preferred against Gen. Williams
by nearly all the regimental officers in his
brigade. Among them is charge that he
(Williams) gave pass through his lines to
q notorious rebel, who had declared,
on the steamer Laurel Hill, in the
presence Of Gen. Williams and q num-
ber Of his officers, that there were no
Onion men in New Orleans, that there
never would be any, that he and they
would fight the federal government again
On the first opportunity, and much more Of
like jargon. IF this scoundrel did not
make use Of his pass to obtain information
for Breckinridge and Van Dom, to enable
them to destroy the federal army and kill
Williams himself, he surely wasted glo-
1ious opportunity. It was Gen. Williams
habit to denounce the Western
troops under his command, with
outrageous profanity, as thieves and
vagabonds, and to say that if he could
have his way he would send them all to
Slip Island to work on the Notifications
till the end Of the war. This fact is also
set forth in the specifications. Tt is not
improbable that Union bullet sealed his

From the Ricnmond Wing, Aug. 15th.]
4 writer in the Mobile Register furnishes
data from which tolerab1y correct idea may
be obtained Of the fighting force of the con
tedelate States. His figures are derived from
the United States census tables Of 1910 and
1850, and upon the assumption that the ratio
ot increase from 1850 to 1860 is as great IS
that from 1910 to 1850.
The census tables show that in 1850 the
slave States (fourteen) had white male popu-
lation between the ages Of fifteen and fifty; as
follows. in round Numbers:

Assuming the census tables to be correct,
We now have in the fourteen Southern States,
upwards of two millions Of white males, be.
tween the ages Of fifteen and fifty, and it is
idle to talk about conqaering them. They
are not shop-keepers, tailors, faetory-men,
button-makers, &C., turned loose upon the
world, and forced to enlist from want; but
they are used to handling the shotgun and
rifle from the age Of: twelve.
Grant, however, that this estimate is ex-
trayagaDt- Let Us suppose that the ages Of
eighteen and forty should govern us as the lin
it. Still this would not reduce us to despair; for
BY no rule Of calculation could our fighting
forces be reduced to one million Of mel.
This force can be kept in the field as long

McCLELLAN'S REAL MOVEMENT.
from the Richmond Examiner

The Yankees are preparing for another des-
perate effort to capture the city of Richmond,
and we may as well make up our minds to
meet the Issue fairly and squarely. Their
chief demonstration, despite ali feints 10 other
directions, is, no doubt, to be made from
F1edcrieksbuTg and the Rappahanrock as a
base: But it is not improbable til at what they
call thetr mortar feet is to second tha princi-
pal movement by an attack upon Dr1ry's
Bluff. Certain it is that the mortar fleet 6as
arrived In the James River; ana it is equals
certain that it can render no assistance in the
grand object Of the campaign Of the year, eS-
Gept BY feroeious assault upon our works at
