Cotton Failures iu India.

When the rebellion broke ont, and the
prospects of obtaining cotton in England
began to look rather slim, attention was
Immediately turned to the cultivation Of
that material in British India For time
itlooked as if sufficient quantities could be
obtained, and John Bull began to feel in
dependent of the United States for his
supply of cotton-a matter of which the
English press was not slow to boast. I'M
mense speculation in India cotton was, of
course, the result, and We now learn that
the failures Of English houses in Bombay
who have gone deeply into that trade will
probably be the heaviest among all the
commercial disasters now occurring in
India. Losses in cotton are said to have
been one of the principal causes of the
failure of the house of CANA & Son for
the sum of fifteen millions of dollars, and
further smashes were anticipated from the
same cause.

GREAT CONFEDERATION.
A Government Store House Burned.
Loss over Ten MilllOns..Three Lives
LOst..FuM Details OF the Fire.

NASHVILLE, June 9.-About 2 p. NJ. TODAY
the extensive building used for quartermasters
and commissary stores, known as Taylor's de-
pot, was discovered to be on fire. It is sun.
posed to have caught from q spark from the
engine, which fell IN the cellar of the building
Capt. w. N. Wainwright in charge of the
building had two or three inch lets of water
on the fire before the arrival of the fire de-
partment. The fire department came PROMPTLY
TO the scene OF the fire, but could not stay the
progress OF the flames until half of the build
ing was entirely destroyed. The other half
consisting OF commissary stores, was saved
from destruction by the fire department. The
estimated loss to the government is between
81 OO0.000 and 1000, 900. Several dwellings
near the scene OF the confagration were de-
stroyed with their cont1nts. So great was the
heat that all approaches to the scene were i'm
possible. Two or three employees are SIM.
posed to have persisted in the flames,
LATER.-The destruction Of Government
property at the great fire to day, is believed 10
be between eight and ten million dollars
Within its walls were stores sufficient to sunnlv
an army of 50, 900 men two years. The ouan.
tity OF rope consumed was valued at upwards
OF one million dollars. The building was the
largest in the country, $40 feet front by 200
feet deep. Fortunately the buildings were SEN
arated by fire walls, which were suggested ard
built by General J. f. Donaldson. and the
largest part, five hundred feet front was nv
this precau:ion, saved from destruction. W
rious runors are afloat as to the cause of the
ire, some maintaining that it was the work of
an lncendiary, others Of accident. A conrt of
inquiry will investigate the matter The com.
bustion was so rapid that the building was ono
sheet OF flame before the tire department could
work on it. "-'

Lazy PhfIanthropisls.

BEN PERLY PooRE, in his letters from
Washington to the Boston Journal, speaks of
the Freedman's bureau now going into opera
ton under the management of Maj. Gen. How
ARD, as designed to break up the nests Of ne
gro boarding houses ard lazy philanthro.
pists" so long supported from the public
treasury:
One other great advantage OF the Freed
mans bureau will be that IL will close the
business operations of parcel OF lazy phian-
thropists. who now regard the poor contra.
band as their stock in trade. They turn from
the working associations that have labored for
the practical benefit of Uncle Tom, and get up
some neat little philanthropic machine which
they can run for individual profit. They want
to keep the old darkey miserable, that they
can play upon his miseries . like harp of a
thousand strings" and will not let him etir
from the waters of Babylon, that they can set
his tears to song.
poor Toms a-cold,7 is their ShaSspearean
stereotyped cry. They don't want Uncle Tom
converted into well-clothed industrious Ia
borer, living In = tenement, with door-plate
inscribed Tomas" But they want to keep
him and his associate freed people houseless,
tattered and dependent, while they fill their
own pockets with the aims extorted from the
charitable. What pity that the draft is over,
for these rascals should have been made to en-
ter the ranks-perhaps they would have pre-
terred the regimental bands, where they could
have blown their own trumpets. They know.

Claims on Great Britain.
Recent Omclal Correspondence Be-
tween the Tive Governments.
From the National intelligence.

From the National Intelligencer.
The fact is, that Mr. Seward some siX months
ago presented these TeclamatiOns through Mr..
Adams not in the shape of peremptory de.
mapd fOs immediate settlement, but rather OF
a notice that they would be brought forward
for deliberate consideration in connection with
certain claims of British subjects arising out of
the war. When this matter was brought to
the notice of Parliament through inquiries OF
the Opposition, Lord John Russell stated, in
substance, that claims on the part OF both gov.
vernments would be made the subject of nego-
tiatiOn.
Notwithstanding the decision of the law Off
GERS of the Crown adverse to our claims, it is
not unlikely that the British government will
agree to the appointment OF mixed commits
sion to consider and adjust the claims which
will be mutually made in behalf of persons OF
either country.
Our own people have never yet received
anything on account of the British depreda-
tons upon the commerce made under the Or
ders in Council, by British Government cruis-
ers. To be sure, it was one of the causes OF
the war of 1872, but the war did not end with
any stipulation for the payment of those claims,
which amount to many millions. As - sac
rifice for peace, England would not pay those
claims, though as to them there was no pre-
text like that which covers the depredations
of the Alabama and her consorts. Perhaps
now, with view to the removal of all causes
OF difficulty between the two countries, as well
as with an eye to future contingency, when
her present judgment may work against her,
England will 90 behind the opinions of the
law officers of the crown upon this question.

THE NAPOLEONIC IMBROGLIO.
Letter from iEnperOr Napoleon 10
Prince Napoleon, and the Reply Of
the Latter.

New YORK. June 1.-THE following is the
letter of the Emperor Napoleon to his cousin:
MONSIEUR AND DEAR Cousin: cannot re-
frain from informing you of the peinful impress
have experienced on reading your speech at
Ajacecio. In leaving you during my absence
with the empress, and my son as vice-president
of the privy council, I meant to give you a
proof Of my friendship and my confidence, and
l hoped that your presence your conduct and
your language would testify to the union which
reigns in our family. But the political pro-
gramme which you place under the agis of the
Emperor can only prove the enemies OF my
government to judgement which l cannot ad-
NIT. You add sentiments of hatred which be-
long no longer to our day. To apply the
ideas" of the Emperor to the present
time it is necessary to have passed through the
besides are we capable, pigmies as We are, of
approaching at its just value the grand his
torical figure of Napoleon as he stands before
colossal statue; we only see the side which
strikes our sight.
Hence the incompleteness of the reproduc-
ton and the divergence of opinions, but what
is clear to the eyes of every one is that to pre-
enemy of true liberty, the Emperor had estab-
lished first in his family and afterwards in his
government that discipline which admitted but
one will ard one action.
cannot henceforth deviate from the same
rule of conduct wherein, Monsieur and dear
cousin, pray God to have you in his holy
keeping.
(Signed) NAPOLEON.
Prince Napoleon lost no time in making re-
ply to the imperial censure. The Presse was
exclusively favored with the document.
The Princes reply is as follows:
SIRE-In consequence of your Majestys let
ter of May 23d, and its publication in the Mon
iteur of this morning. resign the Vice Presi-
dency of the Universal Exhibition Of 1867.
Accept, sire, the homage Of the profound
and respectful attachment with which am of
your Majesty's the most devoted cousin.

correspondent of the 9Th says: Gov. Holden
to-day took possession of the Governors room
at the Capitol, and entered upon the formal

the provisional executive of this State.
He has already made the following appoint
ments: c. r. Thomas, Secretary of State :
Jonathan Worth, State Treasurer; j. s. Car
ron. A. D. C, with the rank of Colonel. His
proclamation is soon to be issued, but, from an
article published in paper lately under his
control, aud from the well-known character Of
the lew Governor, many important features
can be foretold. A convention will undoubt-
edly be suggested, and hopes are entertained
that the State may be represented in the next
Congress.
y separation is 10 be made of the acts In ex
i5,ence previous to the war and during its con-
tinuance, those referring to the so-called Con-
federate government TO be declared void, and
those referring TO State matters to be retained

Gen. Schofeld has issued an order calling
upon all officers and soldiers in his command
to assist the executive in the discharge of his
dnties.
