TRANSITION FROM WAR TO PKACK.
Every political change by which values are
deranged is attended by general loss al
though particular interests aud branches of
piodution, often receive benefit from such
change. War checks the growth of capital
and consequently the funds lor the maintaiu
ance of labor. A large number of unproduc
tive consumers are maintained. Those de
partments of labour that supply the food and
clothing, and the materiel of war. are stimu
lated, perhaps excessively, but this affords no
compensating advantage for the general inter
uption of industry.
But the transition from peace to war is less
injurious to the interests of society, tliau the
transition from war to peace. To all who
produce and consume ,the rise of prices du
ring war,- whether the effect of taxation or
the too great abundance of fictitious capital,
may be of partial benefit, but as regard td
those who exclusively consume commodities,
all annuitants, who live on fixed money in
comes, the rise of prices, is an uumixed evil.
They benefit proportionally on the return of
peace and fall of prices. But as they consti
tute only a small portion of the whole com
munity, society at large, is much less benefit
ted by the reduction of prices, than it is in
jured by that almost universal stagnation of
trade, and employment in the transition from
war to peace. If paper money has been issued
in excess, its contraction so increases its val
ue, that one dollar is as difficult to be pro
cured as ten or fifty were before. The great
er balance of advantage, would appear there
fore to be on the side of the transition from
peace to war, than from war to peace. Du
ring the former prices are constantly advan
cing. The producer and trader have con
stantly rising markets before them, and it
they'have prudential habits, they save more
as producers aud dealers, than they lose as
consumer’s. Activity although it be artificial
aud temporary, is better than stagnation.
THE COTTON TRADE.
That great losses will be experienced in the
cotton trade in England seems hardly to re
quire demonstration. The fall of prices is in
evitable. The speculators in East India cot
tons will, we apprehend, be the -largest suf
ferers, as the fall will be proportionally lar
ger in this description than in those kinds of
which the cultivation has not been stimulated
by the high prices.
That the effect of the cessation of the stim
ulus is expected to bring down the prices of
East India cotton greatly seems to admit of
no question. Accounts have been received
already of a partial decline of Egyptian cot
ton on which heavy advances had been made
by English capitalists on which a loss had
been already experienced of $25,000,000.
This only constitutes a small proportion of
the losses likely to occur in the Indian cot
ton trade. Since the surrender of Le*; aud
Johnston’s armies, prices have receded to
I4d. for best American to 7d. for the coarser
kinds of Bengal cotton. It seems the general
opinion that American cotton will fall to lOd.
during the summer. It is uot improbable,
theretore, that we will hear of a graud fiuan
cial crash among those engaged in the Eng
lish cotton trade before the close ot the sum
mer. We have condensed the above facts
from the New York Meicautile Journal, from
which we extract the following well timed
remarks:
The effect of this immense reduction of
price upon the future production of foieigu
cotton remains to he seen. It will, no doubt
cause heavy losses to capitalists and parties
wbo have advanced money on the growing
crops or who have a large supply ot the sta
ple on hand. We may, therefore, expect to
hear of a great financial crash in the English
cotton trade: Tbose who hfid stocks bought
at the advanced prices, or wbo have advanc
ed upon the growing crops with tbe expect
ation of realizing former rates must suffer
heavily.
But whatever may be the immediate losses
to Englis capitalists, there is no reason to
conclude that any considerable proportion
of the lands devoted to the production of
cotton under the stimulus of high prices
will be thrown out of cultivation. Tbe ef
fects will remain long after the impelling
causes cease to exist. In nearly all cases
cotton may profitably produced in competi
tion with the Aiuericau market. Tbe only
difference will be the withdrawal of tbe pro
digious stimulant of high prices to expansion
and growth. We may therefore expect that
the supply of foreign cotton will in future
equal, if it does not exceed, the exports of
this staple previous to 1859. It is also rea
sonable to anticipate that it will equal in
quantity, at least, the products of the South
ern States tor several years to come, or uutil
the experiment of free labor In the South
shall have been rendered thoroughly effec
tive.
But in any contingency there are no real
grounds for apprehending that there will not
be always an adequate demand tor American
cotton. That article commands a higher
price in foreign markets ; and we shall prob
ably be always able to more than sustain
competition with tbe world. The only dif
ference will be that Eugland and Frauee, tbe
chief consumers of cotton, will be no longer
entirely dependent upon the American sup
ply- V

Personal Remiulsrence of the late Abra
ham Lincoln.
(San Francisco Bulletin.)
Os such brief sketches of Mr. Lincoln’s life,
pfiblished in the newspapeis since his death,
as have come to my notice, not one has re
ferred Ui his struggle for the Seuatorship in
1854. I shall barely allude to it iu passing
to the close of these short articles. An electicn
was held that year in Illinois for State Treas
urer aud for members ol the Legislature.
The Democratic party seemed to be dropping
to pieces. The anti-Kebraskaus were anima
ted, by such appearance, to extraordinary
energy in the contest. Not only the Sena
torship was in prospect, but the Presidential
campaign of 1856 was already begiuniug to
assume shape. The Democrats elected the
State officer, but the political complexion of
the Legislature chosen was in doubt. At the
assembling of the Legislature, the anti-Ne
braskans met iu caucus aud nominated Mr.
Lincoln for the Seuatorship. The Democrats
nominated Gen. Shields. Judge Trumbull
had been elected to the lower house from the
Eighth District, but in the peculiar construc
tion of tiie legislative body saw a possibility
of bis own election to the Senatorsbip. More
over be was generally, even by many of his
own party friends, held to be ineligible to a
seat in Congress, because of a provision of
the State Coustitutiou that prohibited a judge
being a candidate for such office until the
expiration of a year after liis retirement
from the bench. For this reason Judge
Trumbull preferred to take his chances for
the Seuatorship before going to Washington
aud taking his chance for a seat in either
branch of Congress that he might claim.
Ou Friday, after a number of ineffectual
ballots, the Legislature adjourned over to the
following Tuesday. On Sunday, such a snow
storm set iu as had not beeu known, iu vio
leuce and volume, by the old settlers, since
the “great snow” of 1833, I believe the year
was. The loads were blocked up, trains of
cars were impeded on the prairies, in some
cases at a long distance from habitations,
and many travelers by wagons and other con
veyances were frozen to death. Members,
from distant counties who had
returned home, could not reach the capital
'in season to take part in the adjourned con
vention on joint ballot to elect the Senator.
A quorum might be present. As appeared
afterwards by newspapers in every part of
the State, both parlies were in alarm ofl*r
the circumstance. Either party that now ac
cidentally had a majority might take advan
tage of it. But the candidates, witli the ex
ception of Mr. Lincoln, had left the city.
Judge Trumbull and Gen. Shields lived In
the same town, Belleville, St. Clair county.
Members came straggling in on Monday and
Tuesday, and on Tuesday it was generally
believed that the anti-Nebraskans had a ma
jority. Mr. Lincoln was approached by some
of his friends. No, he told them, there must
be fair play in the election, and Mr. Lincoln
was not elected.
As Judge Trumbull was a conditional can
date behind Mr. Lincoln, so Gov. Matteson
was a conditional candidate behind General
Shields. When the baliotting was renewed,
Mr. Lincoln repeatedly came within thiee
votes of an election. There were a few scat
tering votes for Judge Trumbull and Gov-
Matteson. As the baliotting proceeded Mr.
Lincoln naturally became -excited. Mrs.
Trumbull, an intellectual aud unassuming
lady, sat in the gallery with a group of frieuds,
nothing down the result of each ballot. Judge
Trumbull occasionally gained upou Mr. Lin
coln and then fell back to biacerlain strength.
Mr. Lincoln, although urged to do so, would
not yet retire from the contest. At length
it was whispered, one day, that after two or
three ballottings more Gov. Matteson was to
be sprung upou the Convention as the Demo
cratic candidate. There were three
Democrats who would not vote for
com nor Gen. Shields, but who
for Judge Trumbull or Gov. Matteson.—
They.were those who had been supporting
Judge Trumbull. Au adjournment, for two
days, if I remember correctly, was imme
diately effected. Mr. Lincoln visibly showed
liis excitement, at first, but wheu the Legls
lature met iu joint convention agaiu, Judge
Trumbull was elected over Gov. Matteson.
Mr. Lincoln with a single sentence elected
him.
At the time, those Democrats who sup
ported Judge Trumbull, and Judge Trum
bull liimseit, would not acknowledge that
they had left the Democratic party. When
the Judge was elected, a pledge was made
by himself aud his friends that Mr. Lincoln
should have their support for the next va
cancy. In 1858 the pledge was redeemed,
but the friends of both candidates had come
to be in mutual bin inony in the Republican
party. Intlie ineuulime Mr. Lincoln had, in
185 U, been at the head of the Republican
electoral ticket.
How North Carolina Feels. —We copy
the following from the latest North Carolina
Journals :
The people in this State are fast becoming
reconciled to the system of free labor, and
are beginning to like the change. From pre
sent appearances it is appareut that order
and contentment will soon reign supreme in
North Carolina. The attachment existing in
this State between the masters and their
former servants is very strong. They seek
each other like the members of a lost flock,
aud readily come to a satisfactory under
standing on the price of labor aud their new'
relations.
The universal suffrage question is being
discussed with a great deal ot interest in
North Carolina. All parties agree in saying
that equality to the cartridge box Is legiti
mately followed with equality at the ballot
box, but they disagree in regard to the lime
when the negro should-vote.

j Gkv. Grant’s Cadetship.— A correspond-
I ent of the New York Herald at the recent
Examination at the West Point \lilitary
Academv, writes:
The most sedulous inquirer after incidents
connected with General Grant’s life here as a
cadet will find nothing upon which to predi
cate the reputation he has acquired and the
position he hns achieved as a military leader
—no exhibition of talent foreshadowing his
future greatuess—nothing that any way dis
tinguished him above his fellow students.—
Professors all remember him, but their recol
lection is only that of a quiet, studious, re
served aud orderly young man. He neither
made himself conspicuous by violation of any *
ot the prescribed rules, or by show of bril
liancy in the recitation room. None of the mad
prauks which young students are too apt to
be up to —though there is rather less latitude
for indulgence in these wayward vagaries of
precocious youth here than in ordinary col
leger—can tie recalled ot him, and neither
was he unusually dull or prosaically Puritan
ic iu his ways.' His career here was not
wholly, let it by understood, without notice.
Ou more than one occasion he gave incipient
tokens of that decision which has since de- *
veloped itself into such a strong, if not his
strongest, characteristic. Although gradua
ting the tweifty first in his class out of thirty
uiue meniberl, be was not altogether tbe me
dium scholar his standard in the first rolls
wouid indicate. On looking over the records
I find that at one period of his cadetship, and
while there were fifty members iu the class,
lie stood number ten in mathematics. Defi
ciency iu some of the other branches ac
counts tor his medium grade of scholarship
at the time of graduation. 1 am told, fur
thermore, thut iu his class there was more '
than the average number of apt, quiet, smart
scholars. Many ot these have siuce risen to
high distinction iu their profession, the prom
ising blossoms ripening into rich apd rare
fruit. Iu tiie class were Major Gen. Frauk
lin, who, in scholarship, headed the list;
Maj. Gen. Augur, so well aud widely known
for his high military and executive abilities;,
Maj. Gen. Peck, so favorably knowu in New
York and elsewhere; Maj. Gen. Ingalls, so
long the able Quartermaster of tbe Army of
tbe Potomac; Gen. Quitnby, luspector; Gen.
Hardee, Gen. Ripley, of rebel notoriety iu
Charleston, and many others who in this war
have earned deservedly high reputations.
