HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S. LETTER.
New York, Oct. 6.-(Special)-The
liquidation of yesterday was so drastic
in its character that the market has
relapsed into dullness with the tenden-
cies among local traders to regard pre-
sent prices as an actual representation
of the value of cotton on the basis of
crop of 100000 bales. This esti-
mate is in excess of the views held by
the majority of traders, but it is forced
to the front by the movement OF the
crop which now is in excess OF 100000
bales larger than last season. Our
stock is daily increasing through the
arrival of cotton for immediate deliy-
cry points in this direction, by the
scarcity of freight room, and the en-
suing high rates for European ship
ments. When the tonnage now coming
from Europe arrives, we may expect
a cessation of this movement. Manches-
ter buys freely in face of the large re-
ceipts and apparently may he expected
to continue their purchases for some
time as they have reduced their stocks
to minimum. The market closes with
a steadier tone than of late as the
Southern market did not follow the
decline of yesterday.

from the gates of the city, proved his
abili y as great captain. His wonder
full defensive campaign of 1864 stands
with that of Napoleon in lSl3-and the
comparison only fails by an absence of
sharp returns to the offensive.
The strategy employed by him-rein-
forcing Jackson in the valley, to thrust
him between Mcdowell and Mcclellan
at Cold Harbor, deserves to rank with
Marlberough's cross-march in Germany
and Napoleon's rapid conce entration of
his forces around Ulm.
Caution and boldness tempered by
wisdom were exhibited in high degree
by Gen. Lee. He was gifted with that
true intuition of the true warrior which
rendered him wise in strategy, rapid
in movement and bold and determined
in battle.
1t is evident that however personally
brave commander may be, whatever
his capacity for handling and disposing
OF troops, if his caution exceeds his
boldness at critical times he can never
be eminent in war.
The valorous spirit was dominant
with Napoleon at the bridge of Lodi
when, throwing himself forward, he
lead with his colors and won not only
victory, but command of the army of
Italy-Immortality!
1t inspired Col. Jefferson Davis at
