Gen Burnside has thus attempted four at
tacks upon the rebel army in his front since
he assumed command of the army of the

and Of patriotic duty to give him their cor

London Index, of sth JAN, descriptive OF the cotton
famine on the Continent"
The factory system of production usually occupies III
Rouen and the neighborhood., in spinning weaving,
dyeiug &er $4,000 hands, whom oV,ooo arc INV no"
absolutely without employment. III INC 0oui'uy roou
Roucn there are il is estimated. about boOoo hahu
Ioo,ns 'o.oI oc which EMPLOYS man and woman or
cb;Id' only one-ifth of these looms are at WORK.
There are thus according 10 this estimate no less thah
S0 ooO persons usually engaged in the manufacture oil
tor absolutely destitute with all the persons depen-
S % them At the very lowest estimate of those
denendents-children, parents, &c.-the number OF
ons now destitute through the cotton famine, in this
district alone cannot be less than 100000 That the
estimate of the number out OF work is not at all exces
sive ia proved by tR fact that when the Rouen Com
mtee Of Relief last month proceeded TO distribution
of the funds in their hands-the dole only franc
head-it was officially shown that more than 10000
persons, upon whom another 100000, at least must
have been dependent out Of work. Out OF work,
be il remembered and with absolutely nothing but the
contributions Of the charitMe to look to- There are
no poor laws in France obligation upon the parish
or commune to support its poor II is private charity
aided by municipal and state contributions, which
suStans the poor of France. But what can the
Jear de bsnfdSGRee do against SO immense pressure
No wonder that We told that the country crowded
with bands Of starving creatures begging bread that The
railway stations are beseged, and that, as the Arch
bishop of Rouen saws suierngs which no pen can de-
scribe are sustained by thousands who will not beg but
crouch in their wreched novels and hopeey await the
visit Of the charitable or death. Very small indeed is
the dole which the wealth of France has up to this time
bestowed upon Rouen Six hundred thousand francs in
ALL or not enough to sustain the INDECENT week. NJ
FORBADE in the Revue des DeHe noades, computes that
upon the moderate allowance Of frame a day head
for each person actually out of work-no large sum
when is remembered that two three other persons
have to be maintained out Of t-and the moderate
estimate of 10000 as the number so out of work,
sum of twelve million francs is needed to maintain these
people for three months at the end OF which he seems
to suppose cotton will again be obtainable We cannot
share his hopes Of so early termination of the crisis
the policy OF non-nterventon of which NJ FORBADE IS
au advocate precudes the hope; but believe that it
thrice twelve million francs are needed TO sustain the
hapess operatives of Rouen France will at once find
them.
