The effect of the news has been to depress cot
Ton and elevate gold, though doubt if any one can
give perfectly satisfactory reason why should so
effect the geld market. That it should depress cotton
is, however, matter Of course When the foes are 50

The European conn alton was the absorbing topic

some confident of peaceful settlement of the

must suffer enormously should there be war and
should it embrace nearly all the European powers the
Southern planters would certainly be in deplorabIe

weakness and do not incline to initiate them. But
at the same time, although you are rebels to-day
do not seek your lives and advise you to submit in
time to save yourselves; for soon as operations
have commenced in this Eastern Department they
will be prosecuted with energy. let the end be what
