Thomas Jefferson on Emancipation

At this juncture, when the opposition
press is endeavoring to show the Emanci
patton Proclamation unconstitutional and
unjust, the following extract from letter
from Jefferson to DR.. Gordon, in which
he speaks of his own individual losses by
CORVALLIS, will be of interest:
He destroyed all my growing crops and
Tobacco; he burned all my barns, con-
tanning the same articles of last year.
Having first taken what corn he wanted,
he used, as was to be expected, all my
stock of cattle, sheep and hogs, for the
sustenance of his army, and carried of
all the horses capable of service. He car
ried of also about thirty slaues. Had this been
to gre them freedom he ,0ould hare done
right. From
an estimate made at the time, and on the
best information l could collect, l suppose
the State of Virginia lost under Lord
Cornwallis's hands, that year, about thir-
tt thousand slaves.

wooing South Carolina, who appears to
be an old fame of his, in these touching

Washington Congress:

There are battles with fate that can never be won
The ar-AOwing banner must never be furled.
For its blossoms Of light the hope Of the world!
1t would seem that such melody might
melt the heart of Palmetto log. But

COTTON.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson has submitted 10 the
Boston Board of Trade Report on the Cotton
Manufacture Of l-62, wl'"n presents valuable
gently some very interesting and important
questions concerning the production OF cotton
IN other countries than America, the de-
pendence of both England and the North upon
the South Tor future supplies, and the change
IN the system ol labor, which gives prcm.ae
hereafter Of supply equal to the demand.
The cotton crop Of lS60-Gl was about one
million bales less than that Of the preceding
year. The knowledge of tins fact induced the
Massachusetts spinners to lay Ia n iull years
supply, and the stock thus accumulated enabled
many largo mills to continue running in part
TIL late IN l-G2, though the prices of cotton
goods previously 10 November would have
afforded no profit to the manufacturers, II
their material had been purchased at the rul.
ing prices from month to month. Subsequently
tho scarcity of goods carried the price TO u
point which made its manufacture profitable
oven at the existing rates OF cotton.
spindles in the country were stopped before
January /, 1862. BY the LIST of June in the
sumo year, of 4,745,75O splndles, $3.50, OOO
being GSA per cent, were stopped, and l,i93,-
100. or 3ld per cent, in operation. In July,
says Mr.. Atkinson, the number ia operation
was probably reduced 10 less than - per cent.
Not long alter, large Government contracts for
duck, llannels and drills wero undertaken, many
mills were started again, and on tho LIST of No.
yember, when a second estimate was made of
the spiDdlcs in New. England and New-York. il
appeared that the number in operation was

Tho large decrease in the operations of the

little or no distress among the operatives. The

other industrial resources stimulated by the
war, gave employment to the men; and the

A "Loyer Of Justice" presents, in another
column, the case Of the oyersnugbed naval
officers with much force and feeling. That
many of these officers have been hardly dealt
with there is no room for doubt, for this,
after a careful consideration of tho subject,
seems to have been the unanimous opinion OF
both Houses of Congress. The precedent re-
ferred to by our correspondent is strong
argument in favor of the expediency of tho bill
which was passed by Congress, but which the
President failed TO sign, as it is not at oil I'M
