IN the Savannah Republican Of this date is
re published a letter written by me- Ia Deem
beF last, l think, 30 the Hon. Fernando Wood,
ard remarks that "Mr Lamar is il Ssvs1ush
and can speak Tor himself" That is ali / de-
sire now to DO
only wrote that, but several other letters, 20
other persons resident ia New York, both on bu-
siness and polisicsl matters, shout has time and
since; ard The lame attempt Of that ineendlary
street, the Richmond Examiner, TO reVile my
name in regard to- ihe one in question, viii
prove a. impotent s. its constant misrepreseu-
tatioas Of President d wis course Of elndues.
1 had other motives besides = pecuniary ad-
7sutsge in wiring these letters; but 1 enose to
defend myself solely on It's merits as q bust

It is not denied thss cur Confedsrscy hiss, il
cotton slsBe, = capital Of not less iban Eve hun-
drea millions of dollars, which, in forsign mar
kets, would be available TO thss extent, bat
which, owing to the blockads, is 20 much dead
capital. The game Of cotton famine hiss
been played to the last card, and England
mills, costing hundreds of millions Of pounds
sterling, sre mostly At a s.sud-siIl for want ef
t. Il is notorious, also tRat there u q greaf azd
growing deficiency in the supply Of " staple g.
tJcies in our midst II these be the facts, (Rud
nobody can deny them) wasre is the evil Of
c0untefsstiug them, either By TIRE expectation Of
cotton, or the Importation Of goOd5l Could We
export only bali our cotton, our currency would
be relieved and IS valuable al at tho beginning.
Il follows that to export Ii 30 any extent must
provo advantageous in the same proportion. II
the domestic production Of the staple articles be
Sc deficient thst prices are double whs5 they
were last year, IS he who would supplement the
quantity to any degree to be e~en5ured 2
There IS no law against either tho expectation
of GOTTEN, or the importation Of goods; On the
contrary, the Laws encourage and sanction bct5,
and the Gsyernaeat is Itself engaged in the
business, sud blockade raining is odjous only
10 these who do rot comprehend lis benefits
and who i~gn7rsntly aud falsely charge It with
The dsPrs eistioR Of the Currency.
In scier 20 sppssss the cotton manufacturers
Of Earope, Mr.. Seward, in July, 1862, requested
Ne. Adams to assure their GaverHmeuts "tha.
cotton Should be exported so soon IS the Con-
federstss could be forced or Induced to furnish
f." Now, suppose a foreign vessel WAS to cGns
to Fort Jackson, consigned TO me, with the
money to pay fer = cargo Of cotton, would l not
be serving both the country and myself By
furnishing lit Supposs she had 8 cargo OF sails,
blankets, WOODEN aud cotton cloths TO pay fer
the cstton, instead Of a0ney-FOuld not every
body be glad Of tie exchanged And now sup
sssa, instead of one vessel, sn hundred were 20
STRIVE on ths sams business, aud induced here
at my Instance by letters, such As the one to
Mayor Wood, where would be the cause for any
Impeachment Of my pstroti3m or my ~setiousf
If tie cleaners Of an iga0rsnt few against
blockade running vera to induce Congress 10
stop l., what would be the consequences
Would the supply OF cIothing, e.e., be iueFeascdl
Would prices decline Would the people be
more comfortable Or the contrary, would not
tee supply be less, prices advance, and Ou5 sui
fcTings be magn Gsdf
1 insist upon It, sustained b. 8ll tha laws OF
trade and commerce (Which ne legislation can
%csntroi, aud al attempts At which will produce
no good, but anmixed svii) that blockade rua.
ni1g is advantageous, as w5l TO Lhs currency as
ti the eCuotry-with the exception Of the loss Of
Whatever Of goods or eott5n belonging to our
people which may be caBtufsd or lest in the
