The London Times has the following article
on cotton, showing that American cotton is still
king:

The inspectors tell Us Of \ singular state Of al
fairs in the manufacturing districts. There is
eonhdence in the future, but no contsntmsnt
with the present. The manufacturers are build
ing new mills and enlsrgiBg old ones, bat not
for the trade as it now is, or the cotton which
they now get. The operatives are hanging en-
with similar expectations, reluctant 10 migrate,

say, but probably the leading idea is that some

This would not only furnish good material,
but would remove the present elsmsns Of risk.
As things now stand, there Is on one side an ae-
tzAl supply Of Indifferent cottonssand on The
other possible supply of excellent cotton; so
that, besides the dissatisfaction created by Sa-
rat, there is the chance, or prospect, or sntici-
patton Of some such sudden influx Of American
as would turn the market upside down. As

outgroWn this risk. But il is, we fsar, equally
certsin that the new supply is not accepted as
the equivalent Of the old, and that either the
former must be improved, or the litter must be
before the cotton trade can really be

Yesterday morning was ushsred in by the
roar Of artillery and the rattle Of small arms,
which, notwithstanding the heavy rain that fell
all day, wss kept up without internission until
a late hour in the afternoon. The fire Of srtl-
l.Iry was mostly from the enemy, and directed
against Walkers and Bates lines. Gen. Her

day morning, by solid shot striking him in
the head. Thus tbs life of sne officer, useful
citizen and accomplished gentleman is lost 10

Indifference and contemps for danger which is
90 Characteristic of the Southern soldier. Capt

guns which were planted upons prominent nil,

Our lines are still more contracted, by move
made last night, which, owing to the terrible
state of the roads and sverHowing creeks, was
attended with some difficulty. The enemy are
msssed in force upon our left and press for
ward, apparently flushed with imaginary sue
cess.
Wo do not, however, dare to hope for gene
raj attack at any point. Shermsns decided re-
pulses on every field where he has made par
Eial attack since the opening Of this campaign,
and his respect for Johnston's retreAting tactics,
inspire him with q wholesome aversion to s
general engagement
The recent duty and exposure Of cur army
especially of Hardee's corps, have been unusu-
ally severe yet they work with untiring energy
and mGintEin their usual spirit and confidence.
The devotion of the troops to Gen. Johnston,
their fidelity to our cause, and patient endur-
sncs of e1hsusIing hRrdships and priystions,
present the greatest spectacle Of moral and
physical heroism that the world has ever seen.
