4 plies Our contemporary over in Algiers; the
Newshoy, says talk over there about the cotton
tloan and sugar loan bills is in this manner: ~
But the chief demand for this 8 relief" is, that
he needs advances TO procure " supplies. ana .nat
Il his commission merchant cannot furnish them.
This word supplies is very elastic one. With one
it means only iron and salt, which no ingenuity or
Industry Of his could supply, while the wants 81
others gradually increase until silks and broad
cloths, wines and brandies, pianos and coaches,
travelling ID grandeur and oceans Of spending money
Eseen the necessities of his existence. n e
| The gist Of the proposed relief is, that whatever
are his usual wants, these must be supplied The
planter who has had but little intercourse with the
| great world will have few wants: He has always
raised his own meat had his hides tanned in the
neighborhoOd, and made his own shoes. He mas
never bought his corn, and now that a market is
opened for his butter, and his poultry, and the
minor products of his place, he is richer than ever
before. Will he not with the proceeds Of these be
able to buy his salt bis iron, and such sugar and
mofasses as he may not be in condition to raise2
Such 3 man will never mortgage his cotton for the
States promises to pay. 3s45sj 81 n

There were some few bales of cotton received
yesterday for expectation. Too limited in guam
4tity to command much talk yet novel case might
arise, from the action Of our authorities, whether
the shipment Of cotton from the plantations and
towns Of Mississippi can be prohibited from being
exported to- Europe or Cuba, from going down the
mississippi river out at the Balize by the mandate
of the Governor Of Louisiana Of Of the Legislature?
Has the Legislature Of Louisiana any right to pro-
hibit the produce Of Mississippi from going to mar
ket, Or the inhabitants Of Mississippi from using
the river as the great highway to market? True,
our authorities can prohibit cotton from being
landed in our city, but they cannot interfere or
prohibit cotton from Mississippi, Arkansas and
Tennessee from passing by our port for foreign
market. Such proceedings would be closing up
the navigation Of the great highway.
After all the talk the quantity Of cotton shipped
this season from this port hardly reached 5000
bales too small q matter to talk much about.
Cotton appears to BEGGING into Charleston and
Savannah daily; SO the,rairoad reports say.
In the meantime, while talking on the flags, we
are saIuted with further inquiries about our Post
Office. We are not going to talk much more about
this matter, We ask Postmaster Riddell, please
resign and save the endless commune ations made
