THE MKT PRESIDENTIAL Already we see strong
indications In various sections Of the country of
re.nominating President Lincoln as the Union
candidate In 1864 The Springfield Republican
says: 1.-THE New Hampshire Republican Conven.
ton simply echoed public opinion in re-nomina.
ting Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency. As
the President says of his plan of reconstruction,
this is according to their present Impressions
Events may possibly turn attention to some other
man before the time comes for final decision, but
we do not believe the wirepulling politicians can
do It. At this moment, no other one OF the possible
Republican candidates mentioned, has as many
and great elements Of popular strength. No
other one Is SO certain to carry the whole Of the
Republican party, or 30 likely to draw support
from the most patriotic part of the opposition.
The general conviction Ia that Mr.. Lincoln Is en-
inently prudent and safe, and can be implicitly
trusted An authentic story is told of his borrow.
ing thirty thousand dollars from an Illinois bank
years ago, In order to- make legel tender In
land case, and carrying off the money with
ont leaving the cashier OF the bank any security
The cashier knew the man; he has always
been trusted In that way by such as knew him.
And this Is just the sort of confidence the Ameri.
can people have In Abraham Lincoln, and it
grows upon them continually. Mr.. Lincoln Is
all the stronger from the fact that he is neither
radical or conservative The factions bearing
these names have struggled hard to get posses
sion Of him and have alternately claimed him.
But ne has resolutely kept possession OF himself,
and has never asked or seemed to care whether o
particular course was called radical or conserva-
tive. Is It right is the question with him-right
In itself, and polite In the circumstances
results have, almost without exception, vindi.
Gated the wisdom of his delays and refusals to act
az well as Of his acts. He goes for what Is hon.
est and right and just, and has successfully had
all factions of bis own party against him; but he
keeps ON the even tenor of his way, and they all
come round to him at last

SKATING CARSIvAL-0n Saturday evening the
managers Of the Fifth Avenue Skating Pond gave
to their patrons and the skating public their first
grand carnival. The weather was rather too
mild to be favorable, for the south wind during
the day softened the ice, but as the evening ad
vanced the air became cooler, consequently the
ice became frmer, and by eight o'clock the throng
Of skaters and spectators poured down into tho
long hail. and peopled the pond with flair women
and brave men," The unclouded moon shone
full and softly on the scene, drowning In food
of radiance the rows of refectors which had been
lighted, and modifying the effect of the coloreh
fireworks A considerable number of the gay
and fashionable ladies present were dressed in
quaint and fantastic costumes, representing diff.
ferent nations and people; and various animals,
making grotesque combination of curious forms
and colors, mingled in picturesque confusion.
The pond was alive with understanding,
whirling, sliding, twisting, and performing gyra-
tons and evolutions that astonished the specta-
tors. Skyrockets, clusters of stars, Roman can
dies and other various colored lights, blue, red,
green and yellow, were discharged into the air,
and a fine band diseoursed charming music.
Among those who attracted most notice were two
misses, one in full Highland costume, and the
other dressed a la vivandiere, then there were
Turks, cavaliers, soldiers, grizzly bears, foxes,
fishes with legs etc., and still larger number In
the costume worn on the thorougfares of fashion
The bear was exceedingly awkward even for a
bear, and manifested a great inclination to hug
somebody. A down-easter, eight feet tall with
his hat on and four feet six with his hat of, Gre
ated considerable merriment. The carnival was
great success, and afforded a vast deal Of amuse
ment to the thousands who were presently ~

THE TERRITORIAL PRESS.

We received copy Of the Cleveland CO.,
Herald, yesterday, which contains highly
complimentary notice Of the Press of Nevada
Territory. The newspapers of a locality or
country are fair index Of its business and
enterprise, and the more literally they are
patronized by the people who are interested
in the welfare Of town, city or neighbor-
hood, the more business, immigration and
capital will be attacted-and hence the more
valuable will become the investments already
made. 1t may, indeed, be truly said that no
power or influence is now exerted more po-
tent and beneficial to the great name and
fame of the Washoe country, than its Press.
Let any one look at the newspapers Of Sto-
rey county! 1t is true it costs the people
money to sustain such newspapers-because
it costs their publishers more for labor and
material than any other part Of the world
but, so far as zoe are concerned, we feel as
sured that there is not a wide-awake business
man in Gold Hill who will not read
lily admit that every dollar he has contributed
to the building up of the News could not
have been better invested for the real sub
stantial benefit of the town. But here is
what the Cleveland Herald says Of us and
our contemporaries
We have examined the papers so kindly for
warded with interest and astonishment. They
would do credit to States and cities Of half cen

large as the Cleveland Plain Dealer, worked on
power presses, and wearing fresh city appear
ance in matter and advertising. The Daily Ter
riorial Enterprise Is considerably larger than The
Daily Cleveland Herald, contains twenty-five col
umns of advertisements, and eleven of reading
matter, in the usual sized type. One whole page
is devoted to mining advertisements, special min
ing notices, assessments levied, delinquent sales of
mining stocks, etc. The Union and the Bulletin
also have q page each of similar advertising
showing that gold and silver mining take the lead
in the business Of the young Territory. Virginia
City has now population Of 5000, made up of
the enterprise and capital of California and all
the region about between the Pacific and the At

COTTON IN EUROPE,


The Southern people boosted that cotton
was king. That fallacy was exploded and
corn was the successor to the throne; but
this is not the point to which we were look
ing. 1t is estimated in England that their
supply of cotton this year will reach near
three millions of bales; almost as much as
ever received from cur Southern States, and
much more than till within few late years
previous to 1861. More than half of this will
come from India-the residue mainly from
Egypt, Brazil, &c. The quantity run through
our blockading fleets is considerable positive
", but relatively is of small consequence.
The monopoly heretofore held BY the South
has passed away, not merely for the time but
forever. The cultivation has been stimulated
by enormous prices, and it will become so
thoroughly implanted among the staples of
the producing countries that it will retain its
position for all time. Could the South pro-
duce during 1854, crop Us large as they did
once or twice Of FIVE millions of bales, it
would meet in the markets of Europe with
the 100000 Of bales from India, and the
result would be diminution Of prices that
would be appalling to the planters. Come
what may of the rebellion the lords of the
South can never again rule in the CONNER
cial World as in days gone by. The rebellion
was started for Cotton-Slayery being the in
strument-to extend that instrument which
was the corner stone of the new Empire, or
whatever it might be was the motive-that
empire to embrace all the slave raising and
Cotton-producing territory in the United
States, in Central America, in Mexico and
the Isles of the West Indian Ocean if possible
and above We see the result. The day is
not remote if not already arrived, when none
will be so poor as to do the Southern nabobs
reverence.

A TERRITORIAL CONVENTION.

The National Union Central Committee
having passed resolution inviting all the
Territories to send Delegates to the National
Union Convention, which is to be held at
Baltimore on the It'll Of June, to nominate
candidates for President and Vice President,
some Of our Union brethren are seriously
considering the subject Of having Terrific
rial Convention called to send three Delegates
from Nevada. Each State represented in
Congress is entitled to as many Delegates as
shall equal twice the number Of electors to
which the State is entitled in the Electoral
College; and Territories and Districts are
invited to send Delegates, subject to the de-
eision Of the Convention as to their rights.
We suppose the Territorial Central Commit
tee will favor the proposition and promptly
call Convention. There will be no difficult
ty in getting worthy and reliable men to 60
as Delegates. Nevada is looming up as one
of the most attractive regions in the Great
West, and we trust that for the first time in
her history, as an opportunity is now pre-
scented, she will be represented in National
Convention to choose a candidate for the
Presidency. The following named gentlemen
constitute the Union Territorial Committee

THE WORK AT THE AaUILLA.-The work of
raising the cargo of the Aquilla was delayed near
ly all day yesterday, by floating lumber from the
hold, which got in the way of the plates which
were being hoiSted out, and had to be cut away
by the divers with saws, under water. The OBJ
structions were cut away by P. NJ, and the
work was then prosecuted uninterruptedly until
night. Capt Merritt's party has now raised
about go tons of the cargo mostly iron plates
for the Comanche, which with the fifty tons pre-.
viously raised by the first party, would make
some $50 tons now out 1t Is the intention Of
Capt Merritt to get out all the between.decks
cargo before going into the hold to get ont the
guns Shells etc., unless the exigencies Of the &C.
casion should be such as to require change in
the programme. The large, light, wooden boxes
