specuiators. some Of our Northern corpor
a,ions have already, Shrough Southern
agents, equally Interested in tho specu
ton with themselves, bought very consid.
erable amounts OF cotton 10 the interior of

merely nominal rates, and will some day
realize upon 1t perhaps three times the pur.
ehsce value. The same 10 equally, or, per.
haPs, TO still larger extent, true OF Eng.
iish spsculators, who have now immense
stocks Of cotton in the South, nominally 10

We had n good stsry yesterday related
by German who was confined in one OF

conclusively that sick soldiers appreciate

The lady thsreupon uncovered the buske,
and laid out bottle Of wine, mincs pie,

were grssdily dsvoured in the prssencs OF
