But such nanifests have In instances, to our know
ledge, not given full details Of eargees that is, EN-
bracing cotton. For we know of the landing of
Gotten on our levee which was not reported in the
manifests. From all the Information before US we
learH that the cotton which. has been permitted
to come to market has been mostly from planters
who were not in need. That received from Mem

market. Our correspondent asks us # amy one

Ed. Crescent Dear Sir Most Of rs il tits acc

cotton that we may supply family wants and pay
our debts but as Governor Moore has not, sos ir
the shipment of cotton to New Orleans, we have
submitted quietly to the inconvenience of keeping
it at home. While the masses are doing this, it IS
well known that despite the Governors order and
public notice Of railroads that It would not be
received or conveyed by them, there are ship
ments being made. Only asfeW days since tie
writer was informed by a planting neighbor that
he was about to- forward o. portion of his crop the

The telegraph was remarkably silent yesterday.
After the numerous hide-and-seek dispatches fof /
he past five days. it is about time for some relaxa
ion. The telegraph has been prolific of Munehan-
en- dispatches For three days last week the
burnside expedition was in the waters of North
'arolna. One hundred and twenty three sail Of
essels at one time and fortythree at another were
ounted in Pamlieos Sound, and now we are in
,rmed through the same sources that it is not
nown where the Burnside feet is. Great is the E.
slegraph, and greater are the agsse men. who

There was an arrival from Mississippi Sound 7
esterday. No positive information from the He's
ans. IL is very difficult to ascertain what is going
,rward in the Sound: All we know is that the
essians have full control Of the great thorough
re between the two eities-Ne Orleans and
obile--stealing all the negroes they can lay their
ands on, but rather too eowardly to rob the hen
,osts on the sea-shore. 'r &c
