! Sngsying ;n the North for Want of Coaon-Thc suc- 1 cess cfthe North in tlis War declared impossible The following editorial, from the Providence R I.) Post, shows very plainly to what straits the North is being brought by this war It is startl- ing exposition of the state of affairs and feeling in the North:
 From the Providence Pest July ls Our market quotations this morning show the prices of cotton Tn this city, and indicate very plain ly to what we coming. We are to realize un- 1nstakably all the horrors of cotton famine, not only this country, but throughout Europe. Prices are to go up, not down. until there comes general financial and commercial smash up. Indeed, we are to get cotton in the next three years. Our mills have got to stop; our manufacturers, if they are not blind, may already see ruin staring them in the face. In six months Rhode Islands fate will be sealed.
 At last accounts there were only 2l3 2.0 bales of cotton in Liverpool, against ,l23 eco bales at d corresponding date last year. Were the mills to run on fall time, every pound of cotton ill England would be used in four weeks India, of which we have heard SO much in abolition speeches. supplies no part of the deficiency occasloued by the loss of the American article. Instead of sending more than usual to market, there was ahoat at last ac- counts, of India cotton, only 45, 900 bales, against 30,O00 last year. and "S0 600 in S60, There are millions of persons who have heretofore been em- ployed in the cotton manufactures of England, four hithS of whom are to be wholly out of employ ment in short time! And the same state of things, to an extent fearful to contemplate js to exist in New England. OS
 ' But we are to have cott0n," say the abolition sts. .This rebellion is to be crushed, the South ports to be opened, and cotton is to pour in upon Us most plentifully." This is the talk of crazy fanatics and fools The Southern ports may be opened, but we shall get no cotton The old crop will be destroyed whether the owners like it not. They dare not resist measure so essen tiai to their independence. The torch will be aU- piled to nearly every bale that remains unburned to-day; and not more than enough is being raised for Southern consumption. The uniform testimony is that there no cotton feJ4 to be seen on the Mississippi. "Pant and not cotton," was the order, and 1t has been strictly sbeye1.
 "But next year we will get cotton enough" some aboitionists will say. " know better. We shall be lucky 1T We get bale per week through the year. No attempt will be made to raise it until this war is over; and the will not end, as things now look, until even the foundations of Southern indus try Southern business and Southern social life are overturned. Abolitionism has taken the reins, and It will not permit us moments rest until the whole South is thrown into confusion, and all hope of the raising of cotton is destroyed The legisa- ton Of this anatica Congress has rendered restor- alton almost impossible until nearly the white pop ulati0n of the South has been externinated and the North has brought upon itself bankruptcy and ruin. The South will not yield to the policy of the abolitonsts whilst resistence is possible; and in spite ot all we can do 1t may prove possible, until federal treasury notes sold for ten cents the dollar.
 Do we speak despondingly? We say only the truth. We warned ;he people in 1856 of just this state of things We predicted it again in 5G0.- When the war broke out We believed 1t might be brought to an end, and the South be brought back to the Union, in year two, if we followed the conservative policy and asserted only the suprem- acy of the constitution Instead of this, our whole course has seen calculated to asperato the South ern people, dishcarten uuionists everywhere, and divide the North into factions. We are farther from final victory than we were one year ago All that our armies have done has been und0ne by a reckless Congress and yielding President. We have spent si1 hundred millions oi dollars and sac rificed fifty thousand lives and got forit alwhat? We have say ed Maryland and Kentucky and Mis. souri by show Of bayonets, and lost them by a show of radicasm. The union cause will hereafter find little hearty sympathy south of Mason and Dixon's line.
 And now, we say again, the North is to bear her full share of suffering. Her cotton mills must stop Her laborng Ined are 10 become pauper3-- Ike government is going to take care of the nig- gers: white people witnont bread or employment, must take care of them@oyes
