We have received @ communication from T.
J.. Hudson, ESQ president Of the Cotton Plant
ers' Association, from which we learn that plant
ers arc gratifed 20 learn that our Chamber
Of Commerce are taking action in reference to
the Cotton Planters convention that meets here
in two weeks from Monday next and thst
large delegations have been appointed from all
the cotton States. This subject is enc Of great
interest to the city, and should receive attention
from all classes. To us there is no interest sepa-
rate from that Of the great question that calls
the convention together. We have our good
name for hospitality to estabEsh-we have to
show to delegates from all parts Of the Confed-
eracy tina. our city b. its advantageous position,
its important river and railroad connexions, and
above all, by the energy, intelligence, business
qualifications and social virtues Of its citizens,
is destined to stand in the front rank Of the COM
meroial cities of the great Confederacy Of the
South. But the questions to come before the
convention are of the first Importance to every
southern citizen in the present contin- eucy.
The action of this convention will have a
natic.d bearing its great object is to ascer-
tain how lar individual interests are consistent
with patriotic day, and to suggest to the indu-
entail community of cotton planters what course
of action, in the prese It state Of things, viii
best combine the duty they " themselves and
their families. with that which is due their c0un-
try. The questions of laying down a greater
or less breadth of cotton this spring Of for
wardiDg cotton 10 market, Or keeping it in
the %ginhousa Of exporting cotton TO Europe
when practicable Or Of refusing 10 allow a bale
to leave our ports, all have q national bearing
as well as an individual iuserest, aud, therefore,
the convention Of ths third Monday in Febru-
sry, ia LIS city, is one Of more than common
Importance. We hope the committees appoint
ed by the Chamber of Commerce, upon the sub
iect of the convention, viii be successful in Sc
curing a hospitable reception to the delegates
when they arrive.
The New Orleans Crescent has the following
There is possibly grounds for giving some
credence to the commercial reports by the Euro
pa. Though the sales Of l63,00O bales of cotton
in Liverpool for the week ending the llth inst,
requires confirmation, this would premise that
nearly one-thiTd of the cotton on hand had
changed hands for the weak. This would be the
largest weeks sale on record. If the political
adyices are correct, we can conclude that Eng
land is satisfied with the mere surrender and re-
turn of Mason and Side!I but what strikes us
most f0rcibly is the continued advance in cotton,
middling Orlesus being quoted At l3sd. This
does not saver much Of any expectation Of cot
ton being received, or that spinners, manufsc-
turers, dealers, and all Lancashire looked to a
immediate opening Of the southern pOrts-the
raising OF the blockade.
The Cr,seeat says that considerable cotton is
being received by permit, - and the way in
which these permits are granted leAds to much
dissatisfaction, planters in the interior complain
ing that the planters on the river are selling all
they want, while they are Lot able to dispose Of
a bale. Speaking of a communication of this sub
iect the author Of the Talk GA Change in the
Crescent, says:
He puts the question direct 10 us. Are the
manIfests of every steamboat and railroad p8b-
iished complete They are published as fur
nished. BU such m~anifests have in instances,
to our knowledge not given full details Of car
goes, that is, embracing cotton. For VIC know
of the landingof cotton on our levee which was
not reported IN the mauifests. From all the IN
formation before us we learn that the cotton
which has been permitted to come to market has
been mostly from planters who were not in need.
