Berlin the movement is less perceptible, but
that there is vast undercurrent could be
proved at once by reference to the books Of the

less from the effects OF the war than Charles
ton did. A much smaller portion of the capi-
tai Of her merchants and other citizens was
invested in banks than with US, and private
fortunes escaped to some extent the utter
and entire ruin which swept among every ves-
tige of capital invested in our banks. From
some cause or other, which it is scarcely
worth while to examine into, there has, since
the war, been less degree Of insecurity felt at
the North as 10 investments made in Savannah
than as to investments made here, and hence
Northern capital has flowed moro freely to them
than to us. This feeling no longer exists and the
comparisons made as to the relative condition
of the two cities, before and since the war, are
made merely to illustrate the argument that
the want of capital, and that we can now, by a
proper effort remove this difficulty.
A forcible illustration of the influence Of
capital upon the movement Of the cotton crop
is afforded by the fact that for the year ending
1st September, 1861 the foreign export OF cot
ton from the port Of New York amounted to
about 400. 900 bales, or nearly one-fourth of the
entire export to foreign countries. AS large
potion of this cotton exported from New York
is sent there for sale, and is subjected to two
commissions, storage and other charges, be-
sides the coastwise freight, it is fair to assume
that, after making all due allowance for the
lower rate of freight usually prevailing in New
York, cotton exported uia New York is sub
jected to additional charges, amounting in the
aggregate to at least two cents per pound.
Merchants usually seek to forward their ship
ments by the cheapest channels; and this
anomaly in the cotton trade can only be &C.
counted for by the fact that the New York
merchants, by being able To offer greater ac-
commodaton in the way of holding cotton for
their customers, are able to attract to that
market 80 large q portion Of our crop, which
finds it's way to the consumers by 30 circuitous
and expensive route. Cotton sent to Charles
ton for sale must be sold almost as soon as re-
ceived, owing to the want Of facilities for hold
ing. In New York cotton can always be held
until the owner desires it to be sold; and this it
is that causes 30 large portion Of our crop to
be sent 10 that market, to the detriment, not
only of our merchants, but also Of our planters.
In my next shall cudeavor to show that the
proper time has now arrived for US to make o
determined and successful effort to remove the
disadvantages We now labor under.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM 10 THE DAILY NEws.]
MARION COURTHOUSE, December 4.-The
facts in regard to the trouble &C the county
Jail here are briefly as follows:
About ten o'clock yesterday morning the pris'
oners, sixty-seven in number, made desper-
ate attempt to break jail. They succeeded in
forcing open the cells, and had reached the
outer door, when Sheriff Collins, with posse
of Citizens, prevented their further egress by
firing through the windows from the outside.
Although the effort to escape has thus been
checked, the prisoners are not subdued, and
still hold possession of the jail They are
closely watched, however, by the citizens, and
it is hoped that strong guard and no rations
will ultimately bring them to terms. The jail
birds, on the other hand, affirm that they will
never yield, and that they will sally forth To-
r:xht. Much excitement prevails in the town.
