Cotton, nr Tit* ITmen Route.—We are informed (lint a system of reduced freights lias been adopted by all the roads between hero and Norfolk nnd Alexandria so that cotton, in 500 pound .bales, is now sent to New York by ei ther of those]routes for $5.30per bale; whereas by Charleston or Savannah the price is from $0,00 to $0,25; tljus tuak ’ ing a difference in favor of the tippo* route, of from 70 to 95 cents per halo beside tho prospect of greater safety in Irnitsit. A LtTTi.it More Lively.—'The rooont ndvnnoe in cotton has created quite a little stir 111 this market. If tho cotton is not sold soon, there is obliged to bo great distress in. the country, among the mechanics ar.d laborers,.to whom many imall amounts are due. It does seem that, taking the distracted state of tho country into consideration, it is both tiie duty and the interests of plan- tprs, to at least sell enough cotton to pay ofT all their small debts, and among these wo would suggest that the printer ought not to be forgotten. Ten cents is a fair price for cotton nnd considera bly above the average of the last five years.

Resolutions Adopted nv the Commit tee of Thirty-Three.— 1 The following resolutions were adopted on Thursday last, ns expressive of tho views and feelings of tho Committee of Thirty- three. Tho resolutions were offered by Mr. Bristow, of Kentucky, os follows: Jlesolvrd, That wo recognize slavery as now existing in fifteen of the United Statos by tho usages nnd laws of those States; nnd we recognize no authority, legally or otherwise, outside of a State whore it so exists, to interfere with slaves or slavery in such States, in disregard of tho rights of their owners, or the penco of eoointy.

Washington, Jnn..9.—The President in his message to Congress, says that he regret* that matters instead or becoming better ifre still Worse nnd hope is dimin ished. Alluding to the condition cf South Carolina, lie says tnnt there u1ti be no other alternative but to collect the rovotiUe ami protect the public pro perty as far ns practicable. Under tho existing laws ids duty is to ckocute. He says, at tho epening of (he session ho called tho attention of Congress to tho dangers to the Union, nml recom mended such tncasuroofrolief ns he ho- liovcd would have tho effect of tranquil- ising the country, and snvo it rrom tho loriisin which it is needlessly nml tilt- ortunately jdnood. It is not necessary Late News. to ruporl this opinion nnd recommenda tions, his conviction, then expressed, is uunhntifffMl. The right and duty to use tho milita ry and naval.force against those who il legally ussail the Government uro dear and indisputable, hut the present ututo of thine* is beyond tho Executive con trol. Woarointho midst of a great revolution, and ho recommends to Coil- press to moot tha present cniorueuey, to them is reserved the power to deeliiio war nnd to remove the grievances that might lead to war, nnd restore pouco to the country. On thorn rest* thoro*|»ou- nihility. After eulogising the blessings enforc ed by tho Union, ho says: sliouid it perish, tho calamity will l>o ns severe in tha Southern as in tho Northern Suites. The secession movement 1* chiefly made in an apprehension as to the sentiment* of tho majority of tho Northern States. Let the question bo transferred from political assembly to the ballot-box—the people will redress grievances. In hea- ven-unnmc let the trial ho made before we plunge into assuinption. There is no alternative. Lot D* huve reflection would that South Curoliu.a had roflcctoil lie appeals to Congress to say in their might, that the Union shall and must be preserved by all Constitutional means. Ho rccommcnda Congress to devoto thoipselves to prompt notion, with views to peace. Division on line 30 deg. 30 min. is suggested us calcula ted to produce adjustment. It was an imputation on tho members tosay that they will hositato for a moment. The danger is on us—in several Stales the forts and nrsennls have been seized hy aggressive acts—Congress should en deavor to give tho difficulties a peace ful solution. Illlestutcs the reasons why ho had refrained, from sending troops to ro- inforcc the forts in Charleston harbor, believing this would have fui-nished a pretext, if not a brovo'catlon on tbb part of South Carolina for aggression. Referring to Anderson, ho says, that that officer could notbeforo ho loft Fort Moultrie.' have held that j>o*t forty- eight or sixty hours. He had warned liis country of danger—felt the duty faithfully though imperfectly performed —‘bp was conscious he meant well for his country. 01?\£ MQDERATE RE- ANu. 8.
