WASHINGTON Nov. Is 6-Notwithslanding
the boasts Of the radicals thst they have secured
the adherence of the President TO their pro-
gramma, it is believed here that Mr. Lincoln s
forthcoming message will convey an intimatioE
that in some way the emancipation proclamation
will be eithsr withheld or msdited at the time
appointed for its issuance, the lst of January.
1t will be remembered that in the last Congress,
radical as it was, the most radical features Of the
eOntiscaton bill were carried by a bare majority
of three--indeed, at one time the essential fea-
lures Of that Objectionable measure were de-
fealed by a majority Of three, but reconsideTed
and carried, how is only known 10 the initiated
In view Of the expression of the peoples will
at the late elections, the Democratic leaders
in the House viii be able to speak, not
indeed, perhaps, on behalf of " twenty mill
Iions,n but certainly on behalf of the great
msjority Of the Northern people, against
the principles embodied in the eOn6scatiOn and
emancipation measures II is believed thst the
Presidents solution OF the matter Will be the
reference Of the whole subject to the reconsider
alton Of Congress. Should the popular branch
of that body Teeede from the position it took on
the copfseati0a act, the President wonld doubt
less obsy its acliOn in view OF the Voics Of the
people as recently expressed. A. any rate it is
ouite certsin that the radicals are not as conf
dent as they were, and the opinion gains ground
that. If there will not be a conservative majority
in the approaching session OF the House, there
certainly will be a msjoTiiy against the extreme
measures Of the rsdieHls.

dispatch is IS follows
BRITIsH CONSULATE,
Charleston, S. C., August 10, l562.
Ny LORD The near approach Of the close
Of the cotton year" which is compiled from
September ] seems t3 render appropriate few
remarks upon the condition aud amount Of the
crop which has been planted during the last
spring and summer, as web as some general in
formation Ou tho subject Of ths cotton supply
from tie Southern States of America.
] begin by expressing my regret that the dis
turbed state Of the country and the irregularity
of communication, render it more difficult than
usual TO procure trustworthy details. But
have taken seme pains 10 collect the infOrma-
ton, and venture 70 think that it may be de-
| pended upon.
There ca1 be bat little doubt that the crop of
1862 would under ordinary circumstances, have
reached 4 500,GO0 bales bui, in consequence Of
the civil war. uf shn 800 900 have been
planted Il is tn at by some that the present
crop will not exceed one million bales, but
have reason TO believe that the sum from Texas
has been underestimate. That Safe has been,
as ct, very little disturbed by military opera
tons, so that agriculture has been less interfered
with there thAH elsewhere. On the banks Of
the Mississippi very little cotton haJ been
planted, as the danger is too great Il is only
III the interior Of the various States, st distance
from the grest rivers, that the crop Of this year
is TO be found.
The crop Of 1860 was disposed Of, and, in a
considerable measure, exported, before the block
sde OF the southern ports was established but
It is calculated that seven hundred and fifty
thOusaad bales still remain on hand
The crop OF 1861 amounted b about two mil
lion, ts,TraI aud -.
OF these, about one million bales have beea
destroyed, at various PAGES, 10 prevent their fall
ing into the hands OF the FadsraIs; tho rest iB
stored in the interior OF the different States
Mueh Of it has been bought by foreigners, who
hope to preserve it as neutral property through
ali the dangers Of the war.
About fifty thousand bales have run the block
ssle successfully, chiefly to Nassau. OIe cargo
has eessl Barcelona, sud0De TO France. do
not take into account the product OF the sea
islands Of South Carolina aEd Georgia They
are in the possession Of the kedSrais' and I have
no means of AscsItaining whether any cotton at
sll has been groYn there during she present
season.
The amount, therefore, Of cotton remaining

be available 70 foreign commerce IS soon a. the
