They want our manufactured goodj in exchang-e lor their cotton and tobacco. Ihe pro duce of tiie Lancashire looms, of the Scottish and English foundries, of the engim nmnufacturers of tiie Tyne and Glide, of tiie street shops of Sheffield, of tht* metal Works of Birmingham, now excluded from the Southern and Northern States, by the .Morrill and other pro ective tariffs, will be eagerly welcomed Ly tiie Southern St *.tes when once their independence is established, or rather ; s sorn as the blockade is raised, for the independence of the Confederation is now an accomplished fact, which not all the might of moon stricken Yankeedom can undo. When in addition to this it is borne in mind that t e storehouses of New Oilcans, Mobile, Savahnah, and other ports are cramfull, piled from cellar to ceiling with that raw cotton, for want of which our looms are standing still, our arti zans starving', and our man .dacturers becoming’ insolwnt, it is impossible not to perct ive that an overwhelming case in favor of immediate laising oi the blockade by the British fleet has been made. Tiie idea of procuring from other places enough of Colton to s- ve us from the impending disaster, is simply fatuous. Taking the two elemi n s o! iiuant ty and quality in o aecoiin'-, it is safe to assert that not from any or all ports of the world can we find an equiv alent for the American Cotton t f which we are now deprived. As for the East Indies the region from which the most sanguine expectations are now cherish C( ]—nothing but ihe grosses' ignorance could have given birth to the delusion. Hi it it is a delusion to believe that now, or for years yet, a sufricint supply ot Cotton can be procured from that coun try to render us independent of Ameri ca everybody who has looked into the mat er must admit. To grow enough Cotton in India, and ‘o provide the ways and means by which if can be transpor ted to England at such terms as will induce manufacturers to purchase it, cannot-, on the most mod- rale compila tion, be accomplished in less than ten years . . But even if enough of East India C t on could be instantly and cheaply ptacured, it would not enable the Lan cashire mills to kep w rking'. ihe reason is obvious. E ist India Cotton is both coarser and shorter in fibre than the American. Now, in nineteen out of every twenty mills in this country, ihe machinery was const fueled for (he manufacture of longer an 1 liner fihered product of ihe Ametican Cotton, i o adapt this machinery to the E ist India Cotton, would neeessita ea coinpie revolution and receiistruction ol our machinery. This indispensable nltcruative could not be effected in less time than twelve VOL. XlX—x 0 x moniLs, or at less cost than fifty miUi or . sterling*. Bui, in the meantime, what is to become of out* unemployed ami famished citizens ? Why the very evil which we dread and which v.’e are doing all in our power to prevent, would have taken place, so that bet r* 1 the Cotton of India could be got or the machinery prepared for its manufacture, the p obabilittes are, that, we should have m> ni l's to refit, no operr ives to employ, no cuimm-ree to secure and no country I to s ; ve. Unci' more, then, wo call upon our com:try ; ay,-*, am! upon our country v. i*mi*o, Io take instant am] energetic action in this ma.'ter. But. to the wording classes in an especial and ern pii'tlic manner, we address our appeal. ' A hy sotiL] they see their wives in ra<rs, ' their ciiildri ii famishing,their cupboards ; empty, their grates tireless, their homes , denuded of t very article o! furniture, 1 tbefnseives pressed into pauperism or ' coerced into crime, because the mad and mean Government of the ?<orthern Stales has committed itself io one of the most foolish anil wicked wars ever > waged ly one power against another? Were they to be gttiily of such complic ity in their own extinction, ihe verdict of the rest of the world would bo, that their cowardice was only equalled by Ihcir criminality, so that a set ol more unmitigated imbeciles never walked or crawled upon the face of the earth. It is, therefor*.*, the most sacred and boun ded duty of the working* classes, and, indeed, of ail cl tsses - but of the former in a pre eminent degree—to take up this question and make use of all the constitutional mt'ans at heir disposal,in order to imluce the British Govern nent to interpose its power for the pieserya tion of our commerce Iron ruin,and our citizens from starvation. L'lie Chicago Tribune don’t like the symptoms exhibiting themselves in the “State” the Yankees line been at tempting to make out of Western Vir ginia. Jt oracularly declares that the recognition depends upon its apolica tion to come in as a free state. Slavery ix West Y’irginia. —To the surprise, ol everybody, the delegates in the West Virginia Constitutional Convention, at Wheeling, are loth to giv up skyory in their State, though by tin* census of 1860, there was not 10,000 blacks in all these counties, two Hurls of whom have now probably slipped out behind our army. These delegates don't want slavery, per se, and yet they have such scruples about the “rights of property.” that the dying' institution, they, in effee', give it new strength, and add to the evil they would lain remove. They hav’nt. the courage, it seems, to meet the great, exigency and to provide that, while the remnant of slavery shall be protected until it has died out, no more slaves shall be, brought into the State The Wheeling Intelligencer, therefore, advises the Convcntio t, if it is not prepared to put the new Commonwealth in the status of fr. edom, to abandon the work of Irain ng a Constitution at once, and save further expense ; for that “Con gress will not consent to the subdivis ion of a slave State, simply that two slave Stales may be made out of it.”— We confess, fur ourselves, that we were disappointed at this hesitancy o n the part of West Virginia, and we are at a loss to account for it. Certainly the project of a new Sta e will be sealed unless it is to be a free State. F()RYVA«I> MOVEMENT OF THE EN EMY IN CAROUINA, A rumor prevailed in the city on Wednetday afternoon that the enemy had effected a landing, from their ren dezvous at Hilton Head, at some point on the main-land near Port Royal Ferry in what numbers was not stated, and that they had been attacked by our ad vance forces. We were however, un able to learn m ire than that skirmish ing had been kept up during the day. Yesterday rumors ofall kinds pre vailed throughout the city, but we were tri tbl * to obtain any reliable informal tioa from the scene of action, until late in the afterm on, when we learned that a dispa eh had been received at military headquarters, announcing that the cue my had cfiected a landing that a skirm ish had taken [dace in which the Con - federates lost eight men killed and some seven wounded. A passenger by the Chat lesion cars informed us that at I’ocot.iligo which place he passed about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, he learned th it skirmishing had continued during d ty, ttn i thqt our /loops were falling b.Tck probably to concentrate their for ces and oblam a. position out ol reach of the heavy guns oi' the Yankee gun la at s. At the time of our going to press with our night edition we have no defi nite accounts of the movements near Port Loyal. We only know that the enemy hav * made a forward movement towards the r.iilr.i.t I, and that they are opposed by our troops. We hear that reinforcements have been sent forward. Gen Lee left this city for the scene of action yesterday morning.
