MORE COTTON IN ENGLAND NOW
THAN AT THE SAME PERIOD
LAST YEAR.

The planters of the Confederate States have
made an egrsgons blunder ia supposing that,
by retaining thei- cotton, they could coerce
England into an iDterposition in their favor. -
So far as they are concerned, cotton is DO king.
1t is not like Tokay, or Johannesburg wine, to
De produced ouly on one given spot of the
esFth's surface. The demonstration of this,
as fact, is due 10 the revolt of the Southern
States; and the continuance Of the blockade.
or OF whatever other obstacle exists 10 the cx-
poItation Of Sea Island cotton, will make the
fact an extensive ADD permanent ene. When
this blockade was established, and it became
certain that our usual supplies of this the
most important of the raw materials used in
our manufactures be stopped, most OF
as were really afraid to look at the consequent
oes In the face.
We spared somewhat in the illusion of the
planters, who felt sure our industry would be
destroyed if we did not interfere. Nobody
10 this country, indeed, thought of breaking
the blockade except a few persons whose last
thonghts would be for the protection and safe
ty of our manufacturing interests; and now,
nine months after the work of secession began,
although the pc icy of the South has concurs
red with the objects of the North in prohibits
ing the export trade of the former, we 10 Eng
laud find ourselves as we'll off, nearly for cot
tou as year ago---thst is 10 say, we have aow
as large stock Of the article on hand as We
bad this time twelve months. a return which
we printed yesterday shows, indeed, that on the
10th Of this month there was actually larger
stock of cotton at Liverpool than on the Goth
of Dec. 1860
Our real aud enduring interest, therefore,
copcurs with our clear duty 10 respecting the
decree Of the Federal Government which clo-
ses the ports Of the South. 1t is really for
cur interest that this embargo should continue
for some time longer, for it will necesstate
cur getting cotton elsewhere, and not from one
country only; but from several. The change
viii, 30 doubt, be accompanied by some suffer
ing, but ell great changes are thus accom-
panied, when generally most bcnsfeient in
their nature. Mr.. President Davis may threat
EN- with diversion Of the capital and labor
of the South into other channels than the cul-
tivation Of cotton, but we now know too much
to be affeeted By that menace We see that
by suffering little temporary pinching, We can
ultimately get cotton enough elsewhere, aud
countries not contaminated by slavery, and
which will not be ablo to assume the airs and
insolence of people who think they have got q
monopoly of an article of necessity to the rest
of the world.

But the law being merely direetory, it ia

anuary End, 1862, at 81 o'clock, p, NJ.
No friend was there to she'd tear,
When oler passed away
No friendly hand to smooth his hair;
No tongue to chant lay.
He died amidst the camps vast noise,
The soldiers mirth and glee;
Around him rang the hearty voice,
In many joyial spree.
The bugle, drum and fife was heard,
In many broken sound;
But of psalm no. single word,
Was uttered in the round.
No mothers tear dropped on his cheek;
His lips, no sister pressed;
No kindred voice was heard to speak;
No relative caressed.
A youthful volunteer he came,
His country's rights to save;
But death lay hold his tender frame,
And dragged him to the grave.
His battles now on Earth are fought,
His last great victory's won:
The wreath to crown him now is wrought;
He rests in peace at home.
