Cur Prospects,

The national Congress convened at w ashing'
ton on Monday last. Up to this time we have
no report Of what has been done, but the feeh
ing Of the dominant party in that body, 80 far
a. We eau judge from s"ndry indicati one, are
anything else than favorable TO the South. II
the late speech Of Mr.. Colfax be accepted as
true exp ositon OF the views and intentions of
the radical majority, it is evident that the
Southern States will, Tor some time to come,
be held, as they are now held, as conquered
territories. This will be a disappointm ent to
many Of our people, but We trust that there
will be no unmanly repining. They have already
borne much, and this new test will doubtless
be borne with the same heroic fortitude that
characterized them in their late struggle for
the right Of self government.
We are pleased to see it announced that
President Johnson will remain firm in his pres.
ent policy. He does not favor additional tests
Of the loyalty Of the South. lie can see no
propriety or honor in striking dowH'a foe and
afterwards trampliug him in the dust But can
he with all his influence and determination,
prevail against the wild and uncomfortable
fana.icism that will rage like tornado in the
present Congress
Whatever may be the result. let our people
bear hp against It like men, and not sacrifice,
with all our other c~amities, our own self res
pect. Long before the wal Closed many Of US
foresaw the horrors Of subjugation. The issue
was that or independ esce The former became
our portion and We have only to bear it with
fortitude and resignation with the hope that
better prospects are ahead Of us-that the
csunsels Of tho minority, who are disposed To
bs magnanimous towards lose whom they
have overpowsred by superior nupben. will
ultimately prevail.

Cotton.

We observe that quite a brisk little trade is
carried on in this place in the purchase and
sale Of Cotton. This is a late thing for Lancas'
ter. The enterprising firm of Cochrane & Viii.
SON appears to be doing the principal business
in this line. The aftisle is rather fat at this
time reported to be worth about twenty four
cents in specie.
