Gen. Averilrs victory in the Valley IS

THE ADVANCE IN COTTON.
NEW York, Aug. g

The Commercial says:
The advance of cotton to sI.75 per
pound creates some excitement. The dry
goods iobbers who have been indisposed TO
buy cotton at the high prices, are now
ready to operate at the late figures, and on
some kinds of goods at even slight aq-
vance.
The commission houses, however, are
disposed to take advantage of the rise in
raw material, some refusing anything but
small lots at old prices, and others holding
their goods back for an advance.
The rise in cotton appears to be based on
falling of in the supply during the past
The total receipts for July were is, $50
bales, which is less than the average re-
oviPts of the, ten preceding months, by
6,429 bales. Such large decrease nath-
rally affects the price.

The RlehmOnd Enquirer OF Aug. 3
ON the comparative mechanical skill
of the North and the SOUTH
The difference between the two beIlig-
erents il, that the Yankees commenced
this war with all the means and applian-
ces of mechanical, art. The South had
dsregarded this important element Of
warfare. The Yankees wove cloth and
manufactured iron. The SOnuh relied
chiefly upon the importation of these i'm.
portant commodities The Yankees cast
cannon and built ships they constructed
Wagons enough to furnish both armies.
The South was obliged to organize all
the Industrial enterprises necessary TO
arm, clothe and transport our men. The
Yankees had the advantage Of every i'm
proved arm in Europe and America.
Their dietetic and sanitary systems have
saved them thousand Of of soldiers who
would have died upon the coarse fare
of the military hospital, They copied
the Sanitary Commission Of the Crimean
war. Preserved fruits dessieated vegeta-
,bles, solidihed mix, the condensed nutri-
ment Of meat, the concentrated essence Of
tea and coffee, -winos and pure spirits
accompany the hospital everywhere. Ices
and cordials refresh, patient ambulanees,
spring beds and hair mattresses solace
the sick and the wounded When the
field hospitals beyond the APpomattox
suffered for water, canal was cut and
steam-pumps put up, and an abundant
| supply was. furnished
The mechanical skin Of these. people
was shown in the facility with which
they have entrenehed themselves in the
