Cotton In Wh..Iinr.

We have seen within day or two speci-
mems of what appears to be very excel
lent quality of cotton, grown in the garden
of Jacob Singleton, Sr.. in this city. 1t
was raised from seed sent last summer from
Washington city, aud although planted late
came so near maturing as to open and
burst aud show full grown head of nice
soft aud delicate cotton. 1t did not "bIoW"
as it is called, BY reason of the lateness of
the planting. but undoubtedly would have
done so had it been planted earlier, Mr.
Singleton is so well satisfied with his ex-
pertinent tina. he intends repeating it next
season, being persuaded that he can grow
cotton successfully in this latitude. Aud we
see no reason to mistrust his judgment, for
cotton. good cotton has been grown in Ui-
nois in about this latitude. Anyhow the
experiment is worth prosecuting in this
section, and next season We hope to see all
our farmers make the attempt. When any
of them are in town We will take great
pleasure in furnishing them some seed lief,
with US to distribute. If it should turn
out that fair quality Of cotton can be
grown hereabouts a new interest would be
given to our agriculture. Even an infe-
rior kind of cotton would reward any one
handsomely these times.

Rebel Comments on the Recent EIec-
tIOns.
The Richmond Enquirer, in commenting
upon the elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio
aud Indiana, says:
allow this exchange of party supremacy
with the Democrats will affect the war, is
matter of speculation. Both sides equally
declare that the war must be prosecuted TO
our subjugation. To bring the Democrats
to the front may elicit from them fresh
zeal, while the Republicans may be expect
ed TO lose none of theirs. The enemy
may, thus come upon US in greater force
than ever.
On the other hand, however, the Demo-
Gratis are committed to the prosecution of
the war by constitutional means and for
constitutional ends They oppose and
denouuce Liucoln's abolition proclamation.
II they should, accordingly, exclude from
the war it's abolition expedieuts aud aims,
the Republicans will be cooled and DISCUS
ted. Many of them have already declared
it as their sentiment that rather than see
the Union restored With slavery, they
would acquiesce in its dissolution. 1t may
be, therefore, and is perhaps probable, that,
ii the Democrats are to guide the war,
Greeley aud his school will become a peace
party.
Our duty, however, remains clear. We
must gather up our strength for new on
sets, and prepare to resist our foes, who
ever their leaders, and whatever the shades
of difference in their opinions. hostile
armies on our soil, assailiug our indepen-
dence, present a fact beyond " hich we need
not look, because it is, of itself, impossible
of being compromised with. Mcclellan,
the Democrat, fights US as determiuedIy as
Butler, the Beast. We must meet them
alike"

Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts,, made
a speech at Cambridgeport. Tuesday eve.
ming, 10 the report of which We notice the
following statement
The other day called on the President
with an earnest Douglas Democrat of Mas
sachuselts. The news had just come to
the President Of these defeats Of his sup
porters in those States, and the President
seemed bowed down, as have seen him
bowed down when intelligence of the de-
feat of our armies in the field came upon
him, and he said 81 confess that am
grieved at the results of these elections.
This intelligence will go to EurolIei it will
be construed there as a condemnation of
the war; it will go into the land of the re-
helIion, and will encourage the leading
rebels and nerve the arms of the rebel SOL
diers Sighting our men in the field. 1t is
true" said the President. "many of these
men elected profess to be war Democrats /;
but the resolutions of their conventions,
the tone OF their leading presses and their
general action will be construed every
where against the cause of our country"

If the last advice of Stephen A. Doug
las had been followed we should have es-
capped the danger of a divided North, which
now tbreatenes the Union cause. He said
in his great Springfield speech, 10 April,
1861 -
"Iu my opinion it is your duty to lay
aside your party creeds and parry plat
forms; to lay aside your party organ
izations and partisan aPpealsi to forget
that you were ever divided until you have
rescued the Government and country FROM
their assailauts, then resume your partisan
positions according to your wishes. Give
me country first that my children may
live in peace; then we may have tbeater
for our party organizations to operate
upon. Whoever is not prepared to sacri-
fee party organizations and platforms on
the altar of his country, does not deserve
the support and countenance of honest
people. How are we to overcome partisan
antipathies in the minds of men of all par
ties so as to present a united front in sup.
port of our country? We must cease dis
cussing party issues, make no illusions to
old party tests, have no ordinations aud
recriminatious, indulge in no taunts one
against the other rs to who caused these
troubles, Let him be marked as no true
patriot who will not abandon all such
issues in times like this"

We have twice uuequiyocally and uumis-
takably stated that Hon. ". P. Dole. O. S.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, said that
the associate editor of the Pres was dis
missed from his clerkship at Washington
City for disloyalty. The associate does not
deny that Mr.. Dole said so, yet he persists
in asking US to prove that he did. We shall
do nothing of the kind until our statement
is denied by Mr.. Dole or some one author
lied 10 speak for him. Then we shall pro-
ducs our proof. 1t is very easy matter
for the ass ociate to get either coufrma-
ton or denial of our statement. If he
thinks Mr.. Dole did not say so, let him ask
him. If he believes that we state the
truth, why does he not address himself to
Mr.. Dole's statement? That we have the
proof. when it is in order, several persons
in the city can testify.

A lady has contributed to the New York
Evening Post an interesting account of the
surrender of HaEper's Ferry. The follow.
ing is what she says of secessionist women:
Besides these Virginia planters my eyes
were charmed for the first time with the
sight of The ladies of CharIestoWn, who
never condescended to ride in state into
Harper's Ferry during Federal rule. Now
in dubious fnery, flashing with ill-assorted
colors, in chariots which looked as If thew
had been dragged down from the ark, they
rode in to see their friends, the rebel Off Z.
GERS. These are the women who open their
blinds and spit on Union soldiers from
their windows; who heap upon them every
nameless indignity and insult which a
spiteful woman so naturally bestows yet
their homes have been faithfully guarded
by Union soldiers; not house in Charles
town, that true den of secession, bears a
mark of the. ravages of war; while the no.
ble-heartei Union women of Harper's Fer
~ gaze upon homes dismantled and desc.
late.
The sketch of "Stonewall'' Jackson is as
good as any we have seen:
While the officers were dashing down the
road, and the half naked privates begging
at every door, Gen. Jackson stood Stunning
himself, and talking with a group of SOL
diers at the pump across the streat-a plain
man, in plain clothes, with an iron face and
iron-gray hair. Only by his bearing could
be be distinguished from bis men. He
stood as if the commonest of all, marked
only by the mysterious insignia of individ-
ual presence by which We know, instinc-
lively, the genius from the clown. No gol.
