PllO.STF.CT8 OF TUB COTTON TllAME Foil 18C3. The London Economist, mi able and well informed journal, takes an encour aging view of tho cotton question iu ii last number: " Wo are disposed to think,'' it says, " that by tho beginning cf ;-c: tho worst will bo over, even though all hopes of nn early termination of Ihe warm America should have to be abandoned.'' It is now certain, according to tho Economist, that the supply of cotton, " in dependently of the Amrrictin crop,"twU bo sufficient to keep the English mills nt work for four days in the week. Cotton is at present so high and cotton goods so low iu proportion, that few manufacturers dura to produce. Rut in eonsequcneo of tliu getieru! stoppage tho cotton crop is increas ing while tho stock ol goods is decreasing daily. Presently, the Economist points out, affairs will bo r.o equalized, that mill owners can sit their hands to work with out actual loss to themselves; and to pre serve their machinery from rust nnd de terioration, they will do this at the earliest moment. ,V short time ago there wcro but 70,001) bales of cotton iu Liverpool. At the end of October the stock hull risen again to- 59,000 bales. By tho end of tlio year. (1SG2,) it is believed thut there will bo 100,000 bales on hand, i rom tho best in formation, it is thought, tlio imports Iroiu India will be 1,400,000 bales, from Egypt S!00,000 bales, from Brazil 150,000, and from other (piartcrs Sio.OOO, all o( which will keep the mills going for say four day a week, and still leave a small stock un hand at the cud of 18G3.

The Albany Jour nal thus stuns up the responsibilities which must bo shouldered by that Administration: 1. Treason wai hatched under and by a Democratic Administration. 2.

Lieut. Johnson is doing well. 1 ' Jas. G. Bunt, Brigadier General. Ge. BtTLEti Justified. Gen. Butler has just achieved a decided triumph. It will be remembered thnt ho litid a collision with tho French Consul, Count Mijun, concerning certain moneys deposited with the Consul, which Butler seized, and which Reverdy Johnson subsequently declared hould bo returned. 1 lie whole matter has been recently submitted to Count Mcrcier, tho French Minister here. Count Mcrcier, after a careful examination of all the facts in the case, of his own motion decided against the Consul and recalled him, thus triumphantly vindicating len. Butler, ami showiug that Kcverdy Johnson had made haste to decide against our rights, and in favor of the rebels. Tlio French Minister has already appointed n new Consul at New Orleans, who has been recognized by this Government. It is now ascertained. ulso, that this money which Reverdy John son restored to tho dismissed Coti'ul was promptly sent to Europe, and used iu pur chasing arms una clotuiug for the rebel army. It is well known that the Rebcl. made but slight resistance to the crossinjr of tho Rappahannock by our forces, ami tho general impression lias been Unit no re sistance was intended. Accounts, how ever, concur iu stating that the Rebels broke and cowardly ran when pressed by tho bayonets of the bravo Unionist. It has been stated, too, that there were but a few Rebel sharpshooters stationed in tho city, llow true this statement is umy be seen by tho following table made up from an omchd l'st of the wounded only, publish ed by Thi!
