The idea that cotton was TO rule the world
has at length been given up. A writer 10
the Mobile Register, Of March 18Th, says;4
The Southern Commissioners are greatly
dispirited at ehe reception which M. Ihou-
venel gave Mr.. SlidelI. But, as Mr.. Yancey
observed m bis speech, slavery has made
euch a wall of partition between the o0uln
and EuroDe that ell hopes of prompt rec
o0oition 6y England aud France must be
for the present abandoned. AS TO their
want of cotton, / am of The opinion ex-
nressed by Mr.. Semnes of Louisiana 10 the
Confederate Congress, aud | have long
aimee abandoned the idea that Cotton is
King. We bavetested the power of King
Cotton. and found him to be wanting. We
must abandon all dependence on foreign in'
terveRtion and trust only our sword and
the Justice of our cause. As TO the offers
said 10 have been made to the French En-.
perOr of portion of Louisiana or Florida
as guarantee for her assistance, do not
believe word Of it. France is no more in
position to accept such an offer than Mr..
Slidell is 10 make it.
W. Haynes Il Co., leading cotton brokers
New Orleans, in business circular issued
as long ago as February 18th, among other
things say:
The blockade continues, and there is, as
yet, no chance of filling any Of the orders
transmitted to us. Ali the shipments OF cot
ton going forward are only permitted by
the Confederate Government with the assu.
rance that the shippers will be responsible
that the vessels returning will bring back
munitions of war. Nearly every bale of
cotton thus shipped in sent 10 small vessels
to Cuba. As
10 shipping by way of Mexico, it is quite
impossible, aud the expense, under any cir
cumstance, would be enormous. There is
nothing for us but to wait the course of
events. As to the probable extent OF the
crop, it ia hardly worth while to allnde to
it, as much that has been secured is still un-
ginned; but il. happily, there could be ter
minatiOn of the present difficulties, we pre-
sumo Great Britain would receive sutfi
cient supply TO force down prices to safe
point. Ii is severe trial to be obliged to
remain so long without usual business oc.
cupation, but as to touching on past or fn-
ture events, we refrain, from obvious mo-
tives, from giving an opinion. Flour and
provisions are enormously high, and salt is
$40 per sack.

PROPHECY Last January Charles Ellet
Jr., civil engineer at Washington, wrote
the following about the rebel iron clad stea
mcr Merrimac
II is not generally known that the rebels
now have five steam rams nearly ready for
use. OF these five, two are on the lower
Mississippi, two are at Mobile, and one is
at Norfolk. The last Of the Eve, the one at
Norfolk, is doubtless the most formidable,
being the U, S. steam frigate Merrimec,
which has been SO strengthened that, in the
opinion of the rebels, it may be used as a
ram. But we have not yet single vessel
at sea, nor. as far as know, in course of
construction, able at all to cope with a we'll
huilt ram. If the Merrimac is permitted to
escape from Elizabeth river, she will be al.
most certain TO commit great depredatons
on onr armed aud unarmed vessels in Hamp-
ton Roads aud may even be expected to
pass out under the guns of For tress Monroe.
and prey upon our commerce in Chesapeake
Day. Indeed, If the alterations in getting
10 sea, she will not only be terrible
>courge to our commerce, but may prove
also to be most dangerous visitor to our
blockading squadrons off the harbors of the
Southern coast.

ding occurred, gives the following inior-
nation respecting the topography Of toe
country:
The topography of the country of the
Tennessee river Is very little Understood,
especially as regards the valley Of the riv-
or. The Landings of the Tennessee river,
Obove the mouth to Pittsburg, are particu
larly unfortunate for large settlements or
towns on the banks. The great portion of
banks to these points are low, marshy, and
subject to overflow. The high bluffs des.
cending the river merely furnish landings
for freights, which are conveyed through
high hills, ravines and different roads to the
interior, where the plantations exist. Hence
the want of great towns on the river; also
the want of large settlements. From the
unhealthy state of the climate in summer,
after the large spring overfiOws, agne and
fever are very prevalent along the shores.
Corinth is a very important strategical
point. Il is situated in hilly, semimou
famous country-a branch of the Apaia.
chain range which diverges from the Alle-
ghany mountains, aud forms the mountains
and gold bearing regions of Georgia and
Alabama. Here also is the junction of the
Memphis and Charlestown and Mobile and
Charleston Railroad companies. and forms
the intact communication of the Atlantic
and the Gulf seaboards, aud which is vital
ly important to the rebels. Hence Judge
a desperate conflict will be fought here.
Once gain this key TO our forces, and the
road is oPea to Memphis, Mobile and New
Orleans.
