Dr Warren Stone, the cmineut New Orleans Physician, writes as folluwes to the Delta : “For the last seven wt-eks I have been with the Army of the Potomac, in atten dance upon the sick and wounded, and endeavoring to ascertain the wants of the army', ami the best means of supplying them. The people at home, by acting in concert, aud concentrating their means in depots for transportation, can do very much iu supplying the wants of the army- in diet, and thereby rendering it healthy aud efficient. Two aitides of diet, which can be furnished iu gieat abundance, would contribute more thau anything else to the health and comfort of our soldiers— first corn ineal and beaus or cow peas, which are in great abundance iu all the Southern Confederacy, but at preesent are not available, becaus tbev have uot heretofore beeu gathered much for the market. These articles are wdiolesome, nutritious, and palatable, and can be cooked anywhere and by any one. Wheat flour cannot be well cooked in camp, aud ought not be sent there, except in moderate quatities, until it is cooked in the form of hard bread. The constant cry of the soldier is for corn meal : the little they are able to get, they say is pound too flue, but that might be easily obviated. I have been told by those who have more experience than 1 have, that portable corn mills might be readily sup plied, so as to furnish a supply of meal fresh, and in the form desired. The prop er atuhorities bhouid look to it at onec.— The cow pea, as it is commonly termed, can be produced in any quantity that may he required, and its wholesome and pal atable qualities are too well known to re quire any mention on my part. Let ev ery planter iu the Confederacy send a few barrels, and send them to some suitable point for transportation, and tbe army will be supplied. There are other articles that would contribute to health and cum- foit, such as pepper, pickles, mustard, ecf. I was told by Judge Davis, of Florida, that arrow root could be procured in great quantities in 1 iorida, if some agent was sent there to stir up the people to gather and prepare it. In October and Novem ber they turn their hogs upon the roots, instead of gathering them for market.— These suggestions I have mentioned to some of the authorities, and it may he that some action will be taken to concen trate our resources, but in tbe mean time, the local authorities can start the people i iu the light direction. No time bhouid j be lost. Our country supplies every lux- j ury and every necessary, if its resour- ; ces can be concentrated, and it is a : shame that our brave soldiers should want j for anything that a little energy and fore- j thought, ou the part of those whose soil and firesides they are defeudiu Tut Cotton Scri*LT m England —The Loudon “Times" of September 10th gives tbe following ; Stock of American cotton, Sept, 5 1861, 533,370 bales. Consumption of American cotton, and export, from .Jan. 1st to pres ent time has been, per week, 45 590 bales. Tbe present stock if ail consumed by 31st Dec., 1801, would only allow a weekly consumption and export of 33,700 bales. The present stock of American cotton is less than it was last year this time, by 300.000 bales. Very soon the supply of American cot ton will be exhausted and the spinners must either close their mills or adapt their machinery to the use of the East India cotton, of which most fortunately their is a good supply. But their is no use disgois ing the fact, that they will not do so until compelled to do so by the direct necessity —a necessity, however, which is uot tar distant. Tralh From Beyond the Sen. A very late number of tbe London Ob server, iu an an article entitled the Re sources of the States,” dwells particular ly on the dependence of the North upon the South ; showing conclusively that du ring the early history of this country the American States progressed very slowly j “until the Cotton crop grew to be* of ini j portance to England, France and Ger-' many, and tbe great staple became the king of Commerce,’ and adds tbe follow-- 1 ing significant sentences : "The exports of the South have paid eight-tenths of the imports in tbe Northern States.” * ' * * “ I here is nothing whatever produced or manufactured iu the North but what can be cultivated or wrought in the South ; but it would puzzle the people of New Eng land to grow cotton or rice in their cold cli mate. * * * * “Few persons believe that the South can be subjugated, and every one sees clearly 1 that the North will come out of toe matter very much damaged.

We may now recapitulate the substan tial benefits derived by the North from the course of commercial dealings cstablmhed between the two sections. 'l'|, 0 following figures exhibit the annual profits made by the North upon Southern products : For freight to and from Europe s 10000,000 For protiis on foreign imparted goods sold to .Southern merchants 30,000,000 For increased tariff prices on North ern manufacturers sold to the South 60,000,000 Total profits 30,000,000 For opportunity of realizing annually this aggregate profit of one hundred and thirty milliouR 011 Southern products, the North is indebted mainly to the Union.— These profits result from that peculiar course of commercial trade between the North and the South, which has been stimulated and fostered and protected by the legisla tiou of the Union, from the beginning of the Government. As rich as the North is now, she was once very poor. Before she was blessed by Union with the South Iiei people made a living by sending small vessels lathe M est India Islands, iaden with fish, beef, butter, pork, poultry, cidei apples, eabbage.®, onious, &c. These ar ticles they 6old for money, which they carried to England, wllo bought their goods, returning by the way of the African coast, catching or buying negroes, and bringing them back for sale to the South ern colonies. They bad little or nothing to export, whilst the Southern colonies ha I a large surplus ol exports over their impoi t'. When the Union was formed the fither derived by the North from the system of banking, exchanges and credits which linb ! made us financially dependent on the; North as we have befit comineicially. It! is impossible to estimate with accuracy j these Amounts, and therefore I adopt the j result of Mr. Kettle’s investigations.

Ws may union with the South. It must not he supposed that these heavy piufits are enjoyed by the capital ibis alone in the North. As well remark ed by the able Northern writer before quoted : “T ficso transactions influence the earnings, more or less, of every Nor them uiau. A portion of every artisan’s work is paid for by Southern means. Every carman draws pay, more or less, lioiu the trade of that section. T’l»e agents who sell manufactures, tho merchants who sell imported goods, the ships that carry them, the builders of the ships, the lumbermen who furnish the material, and all those who supply means of support to them and their families, the brokers, the dealeij i u Southern produce, the exchange dealeis, the bankers, the insurance companies, aud ail those who are actively employed in re ceiving and distributing Southern produce, with the- long train of persons who furnish them with horses, clothing, supplies, cJu cation, religion, amusement, transporta tioti Arc., are dependent upon this active iuterchauge by which, at least, one thou sand millions of dollars come and go be tween tbe North aud the youth iu a year.” And theu speaking of the consequences of separation with the (South, he says: not he able to sell our cotton, but it will become none tho less valuable for keep ing. It will constitute a prime basis of credit on which wo can light the war through, aud at its close liquidate the debt incurred. We arc uuder no necessity of going abroad to borrow money. Uur cotton is money, aud we cau make it available as the basis of a currency, which will be as sound as any bank issues. Wo may have to submit to increased taxa tion, but this will be rendered compara tively light by the wise issuance of a hun dred million of treasury notes, and will ba cheerfully borne in view of the great stake involved by tho war. We are fight ing for our iudcpeudeuec. for our homes, for our property, for our freedom, for ev ery thing dear. We can afford to make temporary sacrifices, when all the advan tages of future dependence, political com mercial and financial, stand out before us in bold relief. We uovv know that it has beeu upon Southern products that the North has grown rich and powerful. With lights of experience to guide the paths of our leg islators. w’e will not fail to developo our own navy, our own commercial marine, out owu seamen, onr own factories, onr own mamifacttuea, our own bankers, (tnd of the Soutli, but for which thej’ would bo compelled to starve or emigiate. Heshows also that several millions of the inhabi tants of the North-western States aro also supported by the market for their products afforded by the Soutli, and that the money paid by the North eastern States, is obtain ed mainly from the South;aud lie thus that shows a large portion of the population of the North eastern and North-western States is sustained by slave labor. Mr. Hun ter then proceeds to show that the operation of protective tariffs, aud revenue, have thrown tbe burthen of the Government unequally upon tho Agricultural States of the South, who being the chief comsu- mers of protected articles, have paid tbe increased price into the pockets of the Northern producers. But the South have not cornplaiued of this; but they have been driven to desperation by the persist ent efforts of tbe North, for forty years, to over throw flic institution of slavery. Cotton a no Fork.—The Co’umbus (M ise.) “Republic” remarks that a bale of cotton weighing four hundred pounds will bring thirty-two dollars and two hogs, weighing each two hundred pounds, will bring about the same amount. The Southern planters say they can rase tbeir hogs at one quarter less the expense, and many of them announce their determination to give up the cotton field and go in for hog raising. Gen.

Confident in his greater numbers, bis superior arms, and the comparative weakness of your position, he came with his wagon trains, iu anticipation of an easy victory and a permanent enjoyment of its profits.— But gallantly atul well have you main tained your place in line with your brothers of the army of Northwestern Vir ginia. Meeting his earliest advances with striking exhibitions of individual daring, receiving bis concentrated fire for more than four hours with the coolness ol veterans, ami then, when he soupposed your spirit to be shaken, with a calm de termination, indicating to him what bis fate would be should he attempt to cany out further his original designs, you have repulsed his first efforts to chaige and to break your lines. Though you were iu not force to piwsne him, and to realize the full fruits of your triumph, retreating he left behind him the unmistakable evi deuces of his rout in the bodies of his dead, too numerous to be carried with him, the abaudonineut of arms and accoutre ments, even to the colors which in the morning he had flaunted so insultingly in yonr front. (Soldiers ! with pride I congratulate y< u. (Signed) Henry R. Jackson, Brigadier General Commanding. ANOTHER LETTER FROM MR. RUSSELL. i he London Times, of the loth of September, publishes another long letter from Mr. Kusseil. dat ed at XXi’ashiugton, on the 23th of August. Mr. R. is impressed with the beliet that the so-called “peace party’’ in the loyal States is uot only in a hopeless minority, but that a false pea'*e is impos sible. \Ye quote a passage from this part of his letter: 1’eace is 110 longer a panacea for the evils which afflict the United States, and war lias produced some of its usual results iu the necessity which has arisen for the beaten party to regain their prestige. Of all the parties in the United States, that wuich desires peace, quoad peace, is at pres ent the most hopeless ; because peace could only now be obtained by the submission and cession of everything for which the North is fighting, and by the loss to the North ot all, or nearly all,its advan tages. But still it works on, and the end would justify tlie means, indeed, it an absolute peace could be the fruits ot its labors. There is no chance of such a settlement, so far as I can see. There are, in the North itself, the materials of trouble in tho anger of the great parties, which accuse each other of the offences that brought ou the greater war; and, on the whole there is, iu my judgment, greater prob- trict presented his name : bat as he was our cose- ty man, had already served in Congress aEd had merits for the station, we cheerfullv gave him cur support as we would Itave done had he announced himself a candidate. Us? Persons outside of tlie army, and no c t.« more forward in complaint than conductors of ti.- 1 press, are seizing command of the war. and ent,re- ly cast aside the President and his Generals. For instance, the apparent inactivity and idleness of our columns ou the Potomac since the brilliant ti- fair at Manassas, has been widely censured, for the reason that the enemy is permitted to strengthen himseil by the delay, and to reeover from the pan ic which overwhelmed him, and made him the jest of Europe.

Houston, in ouo ot his political speeches,gave tho following description ol the editor of the New l'ork Tribune to whom this continent is indebted as much as to any other man in it for the pres ent convulsions and bloodshed : “Horace is a most remarkable man ; be is the wliitest man in tlie world.

It is impossible for the North to retire from the contest iu a moral Bull Run. Mr. Russell proceeds to show that the troubles of the Confederates will couie hy water, and has the following comment upon the natal expeditions. “XX'ithin a narrow belt of reefs and sand banks are Pamlico Bound, Albemarle Sound, inland seas running into innumerable creeks, and receiving a system of rivers, by which communication is open ed to rail roads and towns far in the interior of tlie country. Here lurk the privateers, which sally out througli the openings of the outer bank, and prey upon the passing trader: arid here the coasting ves sels have been plying up and down with security. Oue hundred and fifty small vessels, laden with stones, conveyed by the United States ships of w ar, are on the way to block up the few passages | by which these vessels can entur, and the men ot war have also received orders to destroy the forts and defences which the rebels have occupied along tbe coast. A similar process will be applied to other points of the coast further South, w ith w hat success it is not yet possible to predicate. Tlie external line of reefs and sand banks is one of the most curious instances of recent change, and of tlie effect of wa ter deposits and euirer.tsin the world. At the place w here Raleigh sailed in, with fourteen feet of wa ter under his keel, there is now a sand bank which is entitled to tlie appellation of Kili-devil-hill, high above the surface. These banks extend almost to I’anipico, ail rouud by Florida : and other places the nature of tbe shores, and lhe great lakes, and *lagunes inside, show that the process has been carried on till the banks became united to the main ■Mid. There is inside the most extensive aud un ique internal communication by water in the world. Energetic efforts will be made to suspend it, and the result will be serious suffering and in convenience to the inhabit ants and the destruction of their privateering efforts. » » * ‘• X i, e closing up of the inlets on the coast will prove very embarrassing, and wc shall hear no more of vessels sailing out of such places as Wilmington, and running the blockade, if tho expedition carries out its object. Some trouble will be saved to the British Legation, which has had its full share of annoyance and correspondence in reference to British vessels seized after they have left ports supposed to be blockaded, uot to speak of the great increase of work connected with the new passport- system, and the sufferings of British subjects who are seeking to get home, or to any place out of the States, which no longer afford them either a home or employment. ’ Hon. Ai ex. H. Stephens.—We perceive that certain parties are making themselves foolish by attacking this distinguished patriot- Fortunately the attacks w ill iujiucouly those who make them. They cai not hurt Mr. Stephens ; probably, almost certainly, will benefit him so far as expressions of public esteem aud confidence are concerned. A nobler or purer man does not live iu tbe Confed erate States, or one who possesses the public con fidence to a grea’er extent. His intellect is as clear aud brilliant as his patriotism is ardent and his probity uubouding, unimpeached and unim peachable. There are but few statesmen in this country who can in truth and fairness be termed his equal.—S. O. Bulletin. The Louisville Journal fays Buckner’s expedi tion is for the conquest of Louisville. Be it so. Buckner is likely to accomplish what he under takes. XVe think we see Prentice on his winding way back to New England. Good bye, George!

As an example ia poiut, we introduce apas>ag? from tbe ietter of the Emperor Napoleon to Mar shal Lefebvre in 1807, wheu the latter wearied with fifty days iu prosecuting the seige of DaaUX after the opening of the trenches, was anxious to storm the garrison of tbe enemy by assault, wiueii must have bt-eu attended with great slaughter, even if it had been successful. The Marshal had spoken contemptuously of the engineers, “decla: ing that he couiJ do more with the breasts of his soldiers, than the engineers with ail their science,' and insisting upon a general assault. In his letter of reprimand, the Emperor said— “Reserve the courage ol your grenadiers tor the moment when science shall tell yoa that it maybf usefiiiiy employed, and in the mean time Uarn pJ- tieuee. It is not worth while for the sake ot’a tVff days, which besides I know not how r > enipk’f just now, to get some thousand men k’Ued winw lives it is possible to spare.
