A PERSON who claims 70 have had q con-
versation with Nj. Dayton, the American
minister at Paris, has given an account OF
it to the London Times. The talk was
about the iron clads now building in Eog-
land, and the indisposition or impotence
manifested by the English government in
not preventing the Alabama and Florida
from sailing. Mr.. Dayton is represented
as saying, ''if, IN consequence of your neg
ltgence, or of your self inflicted impotence
these irousides escape and plumber US, the
American people, irritated enough already,
will be uugovernable. You have seen
enough of them to know that their re-
sentiment is not under the control OF their
interests. They will become as mad as your
French friends call them. They will be
quite ready to ruin themselves in order to
ruin you." Whether the American minis
ter ever said this or not, it is the truth
The Americans are good natured, long sut-
fering and kind. but once get them mad
and they are terribly spuuky. England
has taxed our good nature very severely BY
sending ont SO many vessels to the rebels
and if the iron clads are also allowed to
sail, it win thoroughly rouse the Yankee
dauder, and there will be war such al
England would not care to engage in. The
sudden lacking in the course of the Lon
don Times shows that this is beginning tc
be feared, aud there are increasing signs
that at the eleventh hour, the English gov
eminent will consent to accede to our jus
demands.

believe tie whole system of instrueting

causes of Convention failures. 1t leaves
no freedom of action on the part of the
delegate, albeit the circumstances may i'm
peratively demand the exercise of his uu
fettered action. 1t degrades him into an
uuthinking machine aud is in the nature
Of q demoralizing suspicion cast upon him

Auenced by its action. If the delegates
are not men Who can be trusted without

not be guided by principle, and therefore
will not be directed in the interest of thu

COTTON GrowIng Abr oad.

Ever since the commencement of the re-
bellion, Europeans have been putting forth
every exertion to supply from other sOurc-
es the deficiency in the American supply
of cotton. These two years have done
much to lead us to definite and positive
conclusions, in regard to the comparative
productiveness of other fields, and the re.
suit cannot fail to be gratifying to our ma
tional pride. British India, the West In
dia Islands, Egypt and Turkey have been
successively put to the test, and the most
thorough experiments only prove more con-
clusiyely 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 a single man
ufacturer il Europe who is not to day fer
yently hoping that, in some way, the OBJ
tanning of. American cotton may be resum-
ed. English factories are quiet; French
operatives are supported at the public ex-
psnse, and Austria is threatened with inan-
cial ruin, and all for the want of American
cotton.
Two years ago England pointed trluu-
phautly 10 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 is no longer
urged. India has population of $780,.
O00, 900, and an area half as large as all
Europe, over the most of which cotton
can be grown, but the obstacles to sue.
cessful culture are serious if not insur
mountable. The natives turn with reluc-
lance from food crops upon which they
rely, to something which requires NOR.
labor and more energy, and yields less
immediate returns. Defects in both eli.
mate and soil render the yield less aud the
quality poorer than that grown in America
Not very much is yet known of cottor
prospects in Africa, but enough to dispe
all sanguine expectations that permanen
relief may be expected from that quarter
The native negro evinees no aptitude for
its cultivation, and prefers to deal in palm
oil, witch yields reader returns with much
: less effort. The prospect seems brighten
, in Egypt, for the country is unsurpassed il
: fertility, aud its capacity seems to be lin
: tied only by the facilities for irrigation anc
the amount of labor at command. But tn,
enterprise Of the people sustained by thei
# present Viceroy, will do much to overcome
d these obstacles, and large numbers o
!. american plouEhs aud cotton gins have
already been sent to the land of the Pha
raohs. But 1t will take years of time aut
u millions oteaPttal 10 accomplish there what
a still be considered the cotton field Of The

Captain W. H. Parker.

1t is with more than ordinary sympathy
and regret that we record the death of this
gallant young officer, theson of John Par
ker Esq., of this city and Captain in our
9th regiment. He fell few days ago at
the battle of White sulpher under General
AverilI, where he distinguished himself by
courageous conduct. His aged and grief
stricken father has just returned from a
visit through the lines of the enemy wbith-
er be went on the hunt of his son, who had
previously been reported as severely
wounded and a prisoner. He found that
his boy had died of his wounds but was not
able to procure the body and was forced to
return from his melancholy erraud without
even the poor satisfaction of knowing
where, at some future day, he might go
and dig up the bones of his gallant SON.
This community, where father and son are
so well and favOrably known, will deeply
sympatbise with the afflicted family of the
fallen soldier.

The Frost b the West.

The Chicago Evening Journal gives an
intelligent account of the recent frosts at
the West, which it has derived from reli-
able sources. The frost extended from
upper Minnesota and the Lake Superior
region as far south as Nashville and Mem
phis, and from the Missouri river as far
east as western New York and Pennsyl-
vania. The visitations seemed to be
made in streaks and spots rather than
uniformly, and some portions of Wiscon-
sin and Iowa were scarcely touched, while
in other sections, the crops were ruined.
The greatest damage was done in north
ern and central Illinois, central Michigan
and Ohio, and parts of Indiana and Iowa.
In some parts of Illinois half of the corn
was ruined. In Ohio, Kentucky aud
Missouri the damage was generally con-
fined to vegetation and tobacco. At least
one-eighth of the corn crop ofthe North
west has been destroyed and one-third Sc
riously injured. More than one-halfofthe
tobacco crop has been cut down, scarce
ly any escaping in fact except that grow
ing on highlands. The sorgum and
buck-wheat crops have been reduced
at least One-half. Although the damage
done is not as great as was at first feared,
it will prove very serious, and the best
judges estimate the loss of the Western
farmers at from six to eight millions of
dollars.
