Cotton-Growing Abroad.

Ever since the ommencement of the re-
bellion, Europeans have been putting forth
every exertion to supply from other sources
the deficiency in the American supply oil
cotton. These two years have done much
to lead US to definite and positive conclusions
In regard to the comparative ptoductiveness
of other fields, and the result cannot fail to
be gratifying to our national pride. e.<
British India, the West India Islands,
Egypt, and Turkey have been successfully
put to the test, and the most thorough ex-
perlments only prove more conclusively that.
In the future as in the past the old world
must derive its supply OF cotton from the
new. The hiatus has not been filled, and
there is not single manufacturer in Europe
who is not to-oay fervently hoping that, in
some way, the obtaining of American cSEton
may be resumed. English factories are
quiet; French operatives are supported at
the public expense, and Austria is threatened
with financial ruin, and all for the want of
American cotton. -,.- . ---rt.
Two years ago England pointed triumph
aDtly to her possessions in India and claimed
that they. would soon be able to supply the
cotton demand of the world. Experiments,
thorough and convincing, have been made,
and the claim no longer urged. India has
a population of $50 0o0,0 900, and an area
nalt as large as all Europe over the most OF
which cotton can be grown but the obstacles
10 successful culture are serious if not insur-
mountable. The natives turn with reluct-
ance from fcod crops upon which they rely,
to something which requires more labor and
more energy. and yields less immediate re-
turns. Detects in both climate and soil
render the yield less and the quality poorer
than that grown in America. Not very
much is known yet of cotton prospects in
Africa, but enough to dispef all sangune ex-
pectations that permane relief may be ex-
pected from that quarter. The native negro
eyinces no aptitude for its cultivation, and
prefers to deal in palm oil, which. yields
reader returns with much less effort. The
prospect seems brighter III Egypt. for the
country is unsurpassed in fertility, and its
capacity seems to be limited only by the
facilities for irrigation aud the amount of
labor at command. But the enterprise of
the people sustained by their present Viceroy
will do much to overcome tn ese obstacles.
aud large nun bers of American ploughs and
have been sent to the land of the
Pharaohs. But it will take years of time
and millions ofcaptal to accomplish there
what can be easily done here, and America
ust still be considered the cotton-feld of
he world.

GAS a practical evidence of the fniur

OET-As practical evidence of the injury
inflicted upon our ocean commerce by the
rebel privateers. it may be stated. on the
faith Of the Custom house official retu rms
at this port, that during the quarter, ending
June 80. the imports and exports under the
American flag amounted to but S23. 900 00O,
whereas, under the flags of fore ign nations,
the amount was S65 600 600. In 1860, the
quarters trade was S62 100000 under our
flag, and $4,000. 600 under foreign nations.
The tables in the course of two short years
are thus completely turned againstus. Au-
other fact exemplifying the same humiliat-
ing truth, is this: In 1880, the whole num-

6 292 tuns, in 1862 80 vessels measuring
1O252 tuns; while for the expired portion
of the current year the arrivals under that
flag foot up 81 vessels, aggregating 22,777
tuns. The same state of things is true Of
other flags, in proportion; though as asregards
the Danish vessels, it is crumb of comfort
to know that of the 81 entering the port

A Alministration print. 1t is portrait drawn
by friendly hand to the miristration.-
1t is taken from Rarper's Weekly, one of the
most ultra and intense Abolition prints in
the country. 1t is intended to be kindly
but it is certainly hard hit upon the Ad-
mnistration and it's policy. 1t says:-Cin.
Enquirer. t-.f s....-F
AT the present time Russia and the United
States occupy remarkably similar positions.
A portion of the subjects of the Ru ssian
Empire, residing in Poland, have attempted
to seced and set up an independent nato nal
existence, just as our Southern slave owners
have tried to secede from the Union and set
up Slave Confederacy; and the Gar like
the Government of the Union, has under
taken to put down the insurrection by force
of arms. In that undertaken, which every
Government is bound to make under penalty
of natioual suicide, Russia, ike the United
States, has been thwarted and annoved by
the interference of France and Engl audi
The Gar, like Mr.. Lincoln. nevertheless
perseveres in his purpose; and, being per-
fectly in earnest, and determined, has sent
fleet into our waters, in order that, if war
should occur, British and French commerce
should not escape cheaply as they did in
che Crimean contest. We run no similar
risk of being blockaded in the event of war
with England and France, and need not send
our squadrons away; but still we are pre-
pairing, in our way, by the construction of
fast cruisers and heavy iron-clads.''

REFLEcTfoN. As we look hack on our
past lives, we regret many bargain we have
made and many step we have taken.-
Here we went too fast, and there too slow;
one day W lost by our folly, and the next
by our pride and extravagance. To review
ing the past, we thus see the cause for re-
peutance. .-....
But there is one thing thatlwe are never
sorry for. let us live as long as we may-we
never mourn correct and virtuous life
When pillowed for the night, we have DO
reproach for good deed or kind sugges-
tiou. When the world has no attractions
for us-when its prospects and its glories
are fading from our gaze. and the visions OF
al, eternal state are bursting upon US, 1t is
tn an we love to think of an honest and up
right life. Who. with the hour OF death
ip view. would perform wicked act!-
One hour of serious reflection will unit us
for any vicious society or unholy career.
How strange it is that, amid the. dying
and the dead, mankind will SO far forget
themselves and their Creator; as to serve
career of folly and crime. when the next
breath of disease may sweep them to des-'
