hem For some months past we have become
onvinced that the hasty and indiscriminate
burning of cotton is iIl-ajvised, and serves to
weaken us and destroy our resources without
any material detriment to the. enemy As we
expressed ourselves in our issue of the 18th ult.
cotton is no longer king, and we had better
make it a,llsefttl servant. Under proper regn-
AtoHs for its eX portation and sale, (under gov
ernment authority J we may keep up our ar
mics more effectively than by any other means.
We hope never to hear Of the burning of an
other bale Of cotton, except u )n the advance
Of an en,my for permanent t.eecupstion. Raids
cannot take out cotton.r Ii is even better that
the enemy should obtain here and there a few
lots OF neglected cotton than that any JIniver-
sal destruction Of il in any section, should de-
prve the Confederaey of all future use of it,
and give notice to the inhabitants that they are
to be abandoned to the enemy. H
We are satisfied that this sentiment is be-
coming more fixed ia the minds of our patriotic
classes, as the practice of burning cotton
ttsbughout the Confederacy has nearly subsi-
ded In those States whose officers doing
most for the Confederacy, cotton is freely ex-
ported, and made the means OF inealculable re-

PRFEDOn OF THE PRESS.

Tile Metropolitan Record has an article based
on Mr.. WilkesOn's memorial to Congress with
reference to the arbitrary suppression of bis dis
patches by the Military Censor at Washington,
wherein it says:
1.-THE TRIBUNE las been made TO feel in its own case the
consequences ofdespotc Interference with the liberty
of the press and il fully appreciate the feelings with
which the editors of Democratic papers have witnessed

Gates" , :.
The Records ignorance is so gross that it
may not be aware of the utter falsehood of the
foregoing; yet we think its editor attended the
meeting Of our City journalists at the Astor
House in 1868, when the true doctrine with
regard to tho Liberty Of the Press was unan-
imously affirmed and proclaimed by them in
resolves drawn up by the Editor Of THE
TRIBUNE. The Record is Of course ignorant that
whatever influence this journal may have had

subjected last Spring because of their publca.

We stand fast by the Liberty of the Press;
but We protest against any confusion of such
liberty with the advocacy OF sedltion, treason
and rebellion. The journalists of our City, at
their meeting aforesaid, unanimously resolved

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MATTERS.

A city contemporary recently reproged the
bad taste evinced by certain journals in making
revelations Of what it regarded as their private
commensurate is, of the details and results OF
their business. 1t may be that the good taste
of such disclosures is subject to exceptions yet
even that point is open to argument. The mass
of journals are vehicles for Advertising; and
their value in that regard depends on facts
which can only thus be ascertained. Here are
two journals, equally able, dignifed, interest
ing, well printed, attractive; yet one of them
may be worth many times the other as medium
for addressing the business public. The extent
Of their circulation, respectively, is therefore,
Of grave consequence to advertisers; why should
it not be established and proclaimed? How
can it be justly treated as merely of private
cOncernl
There are journals which have dinned them
selves into large and lucrative business by the
magnitude and persistency of their falsehoods
with regard TO their own circulation. Thou
sands, seeing these boasts proclaimed apd re-
iteratel without contradiction, have been led TO
put qualified faith in them, and have thus
given their advertising a direction which the
naked truth would have changed. The judi
cious few may despisc these braggart claims;
the injudicious many are manifestly swayed by
them. Modesty may be in excellent taste, but
it is not conducive to success.
What would be just and fair in the premises
is a monthly or quarterly scrutiny and exhibit of
the circulation respectively Of all the journals
printed in our City, and in other cities likewise.
Let an upright, impartial Committee OR Board
be chosen to ascertain what is the actual circu-
ation of each journal issued in our City, and let
the result be posted at the Exchange, the Post
Office, and the City Hall, and let it be published
by every one who shall see fit. We will gladly
pay our share Of the expense of doing this for the
information and guidance Of the business public.
OF course, none will be compelled to submit to
tie needful scrutiny; but, should any decline
it, the public will draw its own inference. What

BRITISH AMERICA.

The people of the United States are beginning
to pay much greater attention to the political
affairs and the destiny of British America than
in former years. The unconcealed sympathy
shown by very large portion of the press and
the people of those Provinces with the Rebel
cause, eliminating at length in the organization
of q raid Of Rebel emissaries upon Vermont,
has produced among our people anything but
q kind feeling toward our northern neighbors.
On the other hand, the progress of the scheme
of British American Confederation has
awakened the hope that new nationality was
forming in the British dominions of this Cont
nent which would be more American than
European IN its feelings.
The British Americans have more recently
learned to their cost that the Government and
Congress Of the United States have it in their
power, without the slightest violation of inter.
national law, to make them pay dearly for every
act Of unfriendlinesS toward the United States,
and, as we have already had occasion to show,
the lesson has not been given them in vain.
The latest and by far the most important
proof Of the great improvement which has taken
place in the relations Of the British Americans
toward us, is the attitude assumed by the Gov.
ernor- General of Canada and the majority Of the
Canadian Parliament Both take strong ground
against the conduct Of the Southern emssarles
in Canada, and show determination TO put a
stop to their misuSing any longer the right Of
asylum for acts Of hostility against the United

MEXICO.

The news from Mexico which has reached us
via San Francisco has never been very trust
worthy, and the last installment, which we
published yesterday, will by no means improve
its character
Whether ex-senator Gwin of California has
Men created Duke or not, is of very little
consequence. Dukedoms in Mexico are at
present as cheap as dirt, and may as easily be
conferred upon American as upon any other
class of foreign adventures.
But the cession of the most metalliferous prov
inces Of Mexico to France is areport which must
be vouched for by much better authority than
that of an unknown ship captain, i'll order 10
be entitled to any credence. Macmillan, at
his coronation took an oath to defend the In
,errity of the Mexican Empire; and, though
nripees have never been serupulous rs to the
binding power Of oaths, the abandonment Oh
tho best part of the Empire to foreign prince
would undoubtedly be the most unpopular act
which Macmillan could commit, and which few
Of his partisans would be found willing to ap
prove Just at present, moreover, France
would be as slow to receive such present Is
Macmillan to make it, The Mexican eXpedi'
ton has never been popular in France, not even
in the Napoleonic party. The acquisition OF any
part Of the Mexican territory would greatly In
crease public dissatisfaction with this costly
Transatlantic war; for the French as well as
English are well aware that the people OF the
United States will never look fayorabiy upon
the overthrow Of the Monroe doctrine, and the
establishment of a hereditary monarchy; and
that any neT kind of provocation Is new III
centive to a war, which both powers are an1-
ious to avoid. In fine, if, contrary to the COM
mon opinion, Macmillan should ever make up
his mind TO cede some of the most valuable
provinces Of his empire at all, the newswill reach
MS in different and more tangible shape.
