A Convention of All the States
Recommended by a Republican
journal.

Recommended by a Republican
journal.
There is certainly change of opinion GO
ing on in the ranks of the Administration
party that may lead to some curious results.
AS proof of this, we quote below some
singular remarks that appeared in an able
Republican paper, the Boston Trareller,
of the 10Th ult. They follow reference to
a speech lately made by Gov. VANCE at
Fayetteville, North Carolina. They are as
follows:
If as is stated in telegram to The Her
all Vance is isco-operating with other South
erl Governors for general Convention of
all the States, such proposition would no
doubt be accepted by the Federal Govern
ment.
At any time since the first battle of Bull
Run, a movement like this, made by half
dozen influential statesmen, either at the
South or the North, would have stopped
this bloody revolution. 10 such conven-
ton the final settle ment must be submitted,
however long the war may continue and it
might as iCeH be done n0,c, tchile The armies rest
in their present positions, as after more bloody
and fr1atless battles. We have no doubt that,

able to present propositions which would
be ratified by an Overwhelming majority of
the people of every Northern and Southern
State. There would be malcontents in both
sections of the Union, but they would be
comparatively few in numbers, and utterly
powerless.
Three months ago, such utterances as
these by Democratic paper would have
been denounced by the whole pack of ADJ
ministration journals in the land as the
rankest treason. 1t is, however, hardly to
be credited that such paper as The Travel
Ter is known to be, would have ventured
upon the expression of such sentiments, if
1t were not convinced that multitudes of
Its party, instructed by experience, enter
tain similar views, or are fast beginning to-
modify their former ones. But while this
reaction is going on in their own party, the
Administration parasites would assail even
now with the vilest vituperation the Demo-
cratic journal that should make a sugges-
tion like that made by The Trareller. Such
are the folly and madness OF mere partisan
ship.

produced of wheat in 1860. according tC
census report, as follows:

This was, however, a short year, and it is
estimated that these ten States should rea-
lie this year 200,000,000 bushels.
The month of April, while unfavorable
to the sowing of corn, has been adapted to
the wants of wheat. The slow growth in
'cident to cool weather, it is claimed, will
produce larger stalks, and much more wheat
be gathered.
A warm April would have shot the stalks
forward, with of course less development
at the base. On the whole therefore, we
may confidently look for good wheat yield,
and the value be much greater than at any
previous time. a

wrist. The soldier succeeded In getting q
cane from bystander and inflicted several
blows on the negro's head, which appeared
to have no effect-the negro still reaching
for the soldiers throat. He was at this
time arrested from behind and secured. The

LincOIn's indispensable NecesS
sity"...A Radical View of h.


sity'--.A Radical View OF IL.
The st. Louls Democrat, radical Aboli-
tion Jacobin paper, quotes the Following
from LrNcoLN's late letter to A. G. HODGES
of Frankfort Kentuckys
When early In the war, General Fremont
attempted military emancipation, forbade
| 1t, because did not think It an indispensa-
| BILE necessity. When, a little later, General
Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested
the arming of the blacks, l objected, be-
cause did not yet think it an indispensa-
BILE necessity. When. still later, General
Hunter attempted military emancipation, |
again forbade it. because did not yet think
the indispensable necessity had come.
The Democrat follows this quotation with
the following caustic comment:
Now, there is in this letter of the Presi-
dent singular admission of grave mis-
take, although urged apologetically and as
defense. The President says that he did
not issue his Emancipation proclamation
until convinced that it was "an indispensa-
BILE necessity" Now, in point of fact-as
everybody can understand-that which was
an indispensable necessity" for putting
down the rebellion on the 1st of January,
lS63-the date of the proclamation-wa
nearly two years before. The necessity for
using every efficient measure against the
enemy existed to its fullest extent at the
outset of hostilities. According to the Pres
idents own admission, therefore, he greatly
blundered in neglecting for nearly two
whole years of the war to use a means
which he says himself was an "iDdispen-
sable necessity" to bring it to close-that
is, it took him two years to find out what
was necessary and what was not-a very
candid-very remarkable-and rather un-
fortunate confession. He admits, too. that
during these two years other parties, Fire.
mont Cameron and Hunter urged the
adoption of the measure alluded to, thus
conceding that these men possessed a clear
er insight into the requirements OF the war
than he.
This proof of LNcoLN's blundering, ac-
cording to his own declarations, is rather
damaging to him at this particular juno
ture. Nevertheless, as it comes from a
"loyal" radical journal, it must be borne
with. Such have, we are told by LINCoLN's
supporters, clear right to abuse the Ad-
mnistration or "the Government" to their
hearts content, and they seem disposed to
make good use of the privilege.

Tho sunnIx of Cotton Abroad.

The London Post of the ID inst. gives an inter
Csting digest OF report recently made by their
Cotton Supply Association, which very much
changes the aspects Of the supply, which has been
the subject Of so much sOcitude. 1t appears
that there is no prospect of any supply from
Egypt, as the climate has been found unsuitable
TO the cultivation of the plant, and it has cOnsc-
quently been abandoned In Algeria, in the
same latitude, better results have been obtained.
The French Government has stimulated the cul-
ture by tempting premiums to induce cultvatOrs
10 substitute cotton for maize. Last year mil
lion OF pounds were produced, and the amount
is expected 10 be quadmpled during the current
year. This is all absorbed in the French markets,
and the English merchants can receive no benefit
rom it, except to the extent that it supplies the
wants of their French rivals, and keeps them out
Of the general market.
In Brazil the production Is no greater than ii
was ten years ago, but n higher price must be
paid for it-this being an elect Of the American
war.
The chief sources of supply, therefore, are
India and Turkey, from both of which the supply
is increasing. Both of these countries have
proved themselves 70 be well adapted for the
culture of the cotton plant and are entering
into sharp competition for the supply of the
BTiti.h market, but India is thus far greatly in
advance, though having the disadvantage of so
much greater distance. BOkara appears TO be
the most productive district, but it is not part
of British India, and the cotton must be con-
Veyed from thence by an overland route through
Russia.
On the whole, the report of the British Asso-
citation is not favorable to their efforts to eman-
eipatc themselves from the American cotton pro-
ducers as previous accounts have indicated; they
fields, hut cannot for years 10 come fully supply
their wants from them.

lakes and bayOus in that vicinity.
, He first proceeded 20 Lake Fdusse POiute, where
he surprised a Rebel picket, killed four of their
horses and destroyed a large new tlatbOat, which
was strongly braCCd with iron, and evidently pre-
pared for the transportation of heavy ordnance.
After a thorough search through that region, he
returned on the next day as far as the mouth Of
Bayou Pigeon, up which he proceeded on the Sth,
after passing through about three miles of the
bayou (Which is so narrow that the trees in some
places grazed the boat on both sides at the same
timc), he suddenly discovered squad Of about
fifteen Rebel soldiers, busily engaged in cross NJ
captured horses, some Of the men being al the
time in boats Others perfectly naked, leading the
horses by tetbcr ropes out to the deep water,
where they were taken in tow by the boats and
swan across.
Fire was Immediately opened upon this party,
from the bow guns of the boat, and more iudt-
place among the Johnny ltebs az that time. How
ever, owing to the narrOwuess Of the water, all
escaped but one, who was captured and brought
to this place, together with twenty-onc good
horses, SIX muskcts, ten saddles, two hOgsheals
Of sugar, and three barrels Of moasses; also,
several suits of clothing, which the owner can
have by calling for. There were also destroyed
at this place several skfs and fla S, which had
