theory, and eIinehes it's opinions by quoting
from the oidest and best leaders Of the Virgin

CorroN PRosPEcrs-The rout OF Beanre.
guards army will have a very important bear
ing on the great question of cott"n supply.
Had that army reireated slowly, fighting its
way foot by foot through Mississippi, Alaba ma
and Georgia, or westward through Arkansas
I,ouisiaua and Texas, there is no doubt that
military authorities would have destroyed all
the cotton. tobacco and sugar on the line OF
retreat. But if the rebel army is broken up.
the fragments of it will have quite enough to
do to save themselves without running from
county TO county and from plantation to PLAN
Iation applying the torch to the little stores OF
cotton. The great bulk of the cotton OF the
rebel States is still on the plantations, in &C.
cOrdance with the act Of the rebel Congress
forbidding it's accumulation in the cities or at
the usual shipping points. Very little of this
has as vet been burnt; and it The rebel forces
really are defeated, aud if our armies occupy
the railroad lines and our navy commands the
rivers, and If martial law lie, as it will be. de
clared over the repOssessed States, it will be Q
dangerous thing for rebel msrauders or plan
ters TO attempt to burn cotton anywhere withlr
their bounds.

wonder at. The first is, that children should
be SO foolish as to throw stones, clubs and
brickbsIs up into tTuir.tress, to knock down
trult; At they would let it alone il would fall
itself. The second is, that men should be 90
foolish, and even SO wicked, es to 90 10 war
and kill each other; it let alone, they would
die themselves. And the Ihlrd aud los. Thing
that wonder at is, 'hht young uen should be
