 CoTToN STILL RIsEs.-Since the defeat the Yankees at Richmond, cotton has risen .tre cents per pound ia New York. This, more than any other fact, indicates the despair that has reized upon the northern mind. The large sup ply of cotton soconfdently so anticipated upon the possession-of New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville and other southern cities, has proved delusive Southern conquests are like the apples of Sodom beautiful to the eye, but are ashes upon the lips
 The rise on the prices of calicoes and other cotton fabrics, ,whiclrare growing scarce through out the world, corresponds with that upon the raw material Another years blockade O Southern ports, and the world will be without clothing. Can that be endured?
 Pendent to this we may notice the rise II specie Upon the reception of the news O Jackson's victories, specie rose seven per cent n New York It is now quoted at, or was, CT the 9th of July, at l2l. In other words, fedora money $ q per cent discount. Probably, b3 this time. the rates are still higher

 THE FIRST SAw.MILL. - The old practice III making boards was to split up the logs with wedges and inconvenient as the practice was, It was no easy matter to persuade the world that the thing could he done ill any better way. W-mlilS were first sed in Europe in the fifteenth century; but 50 lately as 1855, an English Ambassador, having seen q saw mill in France, thought 1t novelty which deserved particular descriPtioh' It ls amusing to see how the aversion to labor saving machinery has always agitated England. The first saw-yall was established by Dutchman, in l6b3; but the public outcry against the new fangled ma, chine was so violent, that the proprietor was forced to decamp with more expedition than ever did Dutchman before. The evil was thus kept out of England for several years, or rather generations; but in l768 an unlucky timber merchant, hoplng that after so long time, the public would be less watchful of it's interests, made a rash attempt to construct another mill The guardians of the public welfare, however, were on the alert, and conscientious mob at once collected and pulled the mill to pieces

TIE FIRST WAIL-The defeat of McClellan's grand army comes home to the boasting and bulvng Yankees. The weeping and wailing and gnashiug of teeth is terrible in the North at this moment The following from the West- hche Post of St. Louis is fair sample. The Post evidently thinks all is lost.
 TIE FouRru or JULY AND OUR REyERsEs BEFORE RICHMOND fourth of July, this wear, is heraded by decisive defeat of our forces What our governmeut-in bad taste be it known-has so far sought to suppress, has at length become known; the grand strategic ma neuvre of Gen. Mcclellan has been consumma- ted in disastrous defeat of.our arms. MT. Me Clelan in all probability, is now "ready." His heavy siege guns, which he planted against Richmond on his right wing are-in the hands of the rebels; an entire division on that wing has been scattered and put to flight as far a. Fort Monroe, and the main body of his army has withdrawn behind Turkey Creek under pros tection of the gunboatSi Gen. Mcclellan is "d0ne" the word went in ready" as before, but here means ''dOne." Translated, in the es- tmat!on of the people. His wretched lncapac ity must by this time, be made apparent to bis best friends, and they will now learn to compre- bend the detestable wickedness which rendered It pOSSlDlo IUf IH lHCdpdCltdteu IHulsluudi to maintain position of such vast responsibility as was his, despite his faings and short com ings without end previously. And this all from political considerations! The party bullies of the hunkers and sympathisers defended this General to the utmost; spat at those who simply criticised his failings, and they have finally sue ceeded in keeping him in csmmand sufficiently lono to enable the watchul rebel generals op- posed to him to annhilate his army. Thou sands of gallant soldiers are butchered; they are the victims of political corruption and Presl- dental aspiration.
 As matter of course, our nnoompoops will now cry out; "why did he not receive reinforce ments?" We reply "Why did he not receive common sense and self con6dence?' He did not lack troops, but lacked brain; he had better artillery but only to have them bagged by the enemy. The hollow military apmDug which chalacterizes this war for the year past, princi- | pally in the person of this same Mcclellan, has at last burst its bubble in this dsgraceful defeat and the precious blood of our murdered soldiers cries to Heaven for vengeance, against the stu pitlity of government which is in the habit of removing its best generals before the enemy, in order to reserve the very worst ones for the final decision of battle. The result is before us. The campaign in Virginia IS at an end. The South ern Confederacy will be recognized by England | and France, and all the victories of the past year have been worse than neutralized by the incapacity of a single individual, We are not disposed to reflect on what Is to come, but we are prepared for worse.
