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.

Di:M0L,i.iT!c Rule. It is a favorito
boast of tho Democrats that the Govern
ment has been for a largo portion of the
time since its foundation under tho rule of
that party, and that the country has grown
under its regime. The country advanced
in prosperity, iiiQuencc, wealth and business
under all administrations until the last, und
that was Democratic. 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. Our Arsenals and Forts were sacked,
and Traitors were armed, under and by a
Democratic Administration.
15. The Union was severed under a Dein
oeratic Administration.

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
