Correspondence of the New York tom. Adv.
WASHINGTON, Thursday, Jan. IL 1854
Cotton is king no longer. The monopoly en-
Joyed BY the Gulf States in the production Of
that tioccose hbre, has not only embroidered
the Southerners to rebel against what one Of
their leaders admitted was ''the best of Gov
ernments," bat they thought that it would en-
able them to force from Great Britain a rec
oguition OF their independence, In this the
dwellers IN Dixie have deceived themselves,
for the Manchester mill-ownerg are opening
new sources Of supply in Asia and in Africa,
and the loyal men Of the Union are not only
encouraging the growth of cotton i'll the Mid
die States, but are introducing substitutes for
it. Congress- at it's last session, aided this
attempt to superscede cotton by an apprepri-
alton Of twenty thousand dollars for investi
cations to test the practicability Of cultiva
ting and preparing flax aud hemp as sub
stitute," and from this we may expect valua-
bic results
The Commissioners appointed to make the
investigations are: DIR. Warder, Of Cincin-
natl, wei yersed in agricultural chemistry
and in the cultivation Of plants Hon. j. Is.
Morehead, OF Pittsburg thoroughly acquain-
ted with manufacturing in all its branches
and w. I'll. Bailey, Of Providence a business
man. who is posted on the commercial value
q manufacturing processes, upon which, after
all, the worth OF discoveries depend IL has
been known for nearly one hundred yeaes that
the fibre of fax could be substituted for cot
ton, and it was in 1850 that the Chevalier
Chanssen obtained patent i'll England for
extracting the fibre Of flax by chemical agen-
cies. Instead of the tedious and wasteful pro-
cess Of ater-rotting. Several New England
manufacturers have successfully experiment.
cd with flax as substitute fer cotton, but
the cost Of the material thus obtained has
prevented its general use.
The Commissioners have not however con
fined their Investigations to the mere cotton
izng Of flax, or preparing it for the machine
ry Of cotton mills, as some of the Rhode Is
land manufacturers expected them to. They
hvae taken broader view of the subject, and
are examining into the cultivation and prep
aration for us9 Of all fbrous plants. When
specimens are presented to them, they require
statements of the cultivation of the plant, end
also estimates as to the probable expense per
pound Of the preparation Of the material, with
the proportion Of fibre that may be produced
from u given quantity of the plant
1t is said that the facts already before the
Commission show that fax and other fibrous
plants NAV be substituted for or mixed with
cotton, to great advantage, although the dit
ference in the length and uniformity OF the
tibres is difficulty not fully overcome. spec
linens have been forwarded from half-a-dozen
States, and some Of the statements display a
thorough knowledge of this important ques
ton. The Commission will re assemble, III
this city, on the Gath of February next wren
there will be quite an exhibition ofiibres and
fabrics from some fifty experiioenters.

East Tsnnessee
SIR have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt ofyour letter, dated Jan. 8, 1864
You are correct i'll your superstition that
the great object in view in the circulation Of
the Presidents proclamation is to induce
those now in rebellion against the Govern
ment to lay aside their arms and return to
their allegiance as citizens Of the United
States, thus securing the reunion of States
now arrayed in hostility against one anoth-
er, and the restoration of peace.
The immediate effect Of the circulation may
be to cause many men to leave your ranks to
return home, or come within our lines, and in
view of this latter course, it has been thought
proper to issue an order announcing the "a
vorable terms on which desertels will be re-
ceived.
accept, however, your suggestion that it
would lave been more courteous to have sent
these documents to you for circulation, and
embrace with pleasure the opportunity thus
afforded to enclose you twenty (2O) copies Of
each OF these documents. and rely upon your
generosity and desire for peace to give pub
lcIty to the same among your officers and
men.
have the honor to he General, very respectfully your
