DISMEMBERMENT OF STATEIT The l&to civil conflict took its rise from an attempt to dismember theUnion, but will have terminated in the dismemberment of at least one of the States—Tennesse. Thereceut Convention in that Slate has shown such to be the almost unanimous wish of the peo ple of the Eastern portion of the State. Con gress c&nuot well refuse its sanction as it as sented to the dismemberment of Virginia at an early period of the war. Thus it hap pens that ono of the purposes of the Union— uniting sections or the country geographical ly divided, as well as dissimilar in political opinion, if not in manners, has been de feated. Eastern Tennessee has unfortunately been divorced by the war from Western and Mid dle Tennessee. There is no irreconcilable differences between these sections any more than there are between the upper and lower portions of South Carolina, Georgia, Ala bama, Ac. The feeling of hostility between them did not exist before the war. It has, therefore, been engendered by the war, and is altogether of a factitious character.- Ou the subject of government they are attached to the same political institutions,and if other diversities ate to divide them, such as exist between different sections of the other Southern States, what is to prevent the d's- membermont of those States ? What is to prevent a line being drawn between the upper and lower portions of those States? In that event dismemberment would be the rule, and union the exception. As tiie hostile feeling between Eastern and Western Tennessee has been the result solely ,,f war and of an artificial character—as these sections hare lived iu harmony since the State was admitted into the Union 179G, iu now seventy-six years—as the natural and politi cal cau.es for separation arc not of greater force than exist iu South Carolina, Georgia aud Alabama—there is a possibility that more conciliatory counsels may prevail aud the evils of further dismemberment, by force of example, prevented. The obstacle is, we p re snipe, the in fluence of demagogues whose aspirations for office have been the influencing motive for this movemeut. It is hoped, but vainly hoped, no doubt, that Congress will dis courage it. It is the policy of the radical party in that body to foster dismemberment with the view of perpetuating their political power. They have recently admitted Colorado, with an Insufficient population, to the position of a State, by which they gain two votes in the Senate. The same motive will iuduce them tn encourage dismember ment whenever the plea is presented of superior loyally to the Union, as in the case of East Tennessee. THE COMING CROP. Of the numerous subjects now engrossing the public attention the coming cotton crop is regarded, perhaps, with the most interest. Cotton coming once again into peaceable possession of its most valuable domain the entire commercial world is seemingly trou bled as to wbat Will be the result. At no former period, save in the matter of food, after months of famine, have there been such ho'tes, fears anil surmises as ire now ex pressed, as to the yield of the cotton crop. Is our country once more to achieve a virtual monopoly of the great staple, or will the change of labor, combined with the burden of taxation, fall so heavily on our planters as to allow the competition that sprung up du ring the late war to keep its ill-sccured hold ou the marts of the world? A discussion on this point would uow be premature, although we must needs express our opinion that the projected tax of five cents on cotton would be of a ino3t unjust;and impolitic, if not sui cidal nature. This question now engrosses public atten tion equally to that of our finances, and al though, through various circumstances, naught but surmises can be offered on the subject; yet they are eagerly canvassed in every commercial centre of tho world. It we look to our exchanges and to the corres pondence of the press for information, we are puzzled by discordant views from even the same localities. When the planter could command a certain amount of labor, and the breadth of land devoted to its culture was well known, it was a mere question of simple arithmetic to calculate the yield, supposing always that the weather was on an average propitious; but now-a-days, .labor is com parative^- so unsettled, the statistics of the culture in some respects so uutrustworthy, anil communication from distant points so ir regular, that we have, deemed it impolitic at this early slate of the season even to offer a conjecture on the subject. Then, again, if By Telegraph. CONGRESS. Veto of the Pruldent on the Colomdo BUI. Washinotox, May 15.—The proceedings of the Senate to-day were not particularly interesting.

Wa see it stated that a meeting of the lien creditors of this road was lately held at Charleston to tal:e into consideration its prospects. It appears from a statement of the President of the Company, that this rail way was used as u military road from the frt.il of 1S61 until the. end of the disastrous conflict, when -it was left shattered and bro ken, without a dollar in tjie treasury where with to commence operations. The debt of the road will be as follows, if the suggestions of the President are carried out: Lien and interest bearing debt ... $2,222,420 uu Tire interest of this for one year $140,813 95 Tne 3 estimates for opening tbe, _. ,_j ... jaucuBn with Georgia Central, including temporary brdige over Savannah river 188.830 00 Ferry boat at Asliffiy river 55,000 0» Total $384,6-13 95 Less probable receipts from road and rout ox .took $100,000 00 Making an outlay of ' $284,043 95 This evan would leave the road, it is Raid, without a depot in Charleston, and there are other absolute necessities to provide for, which, to make it a first class and paying road, would require from four to five hun dred thousand dollars. It would se6m then, says an exchange that the creditors must authorise the stockholders to borrow the ne cessary money and accept the proposition of the State, namely, to postpone her lien, on condition that the creditors of the second and third line should in like manner post pone theirs, or the creditors must themselves take possession of the road. We hope to hear that a satisfactory adjustment has been made, and that this useful railway will soon emerge from tbe difficulties by which it now appears surrounded. who make a specialty of the cotton market, wo find the same discordant views biased as 'they generally are by an interest in the price, pi x sent or prospective, of the staple—and their views appear based more on speculative opinions than on trustworthy information. Ou one point we are, however, satisfied, aud that is that the estimate of the yield ot the crop is generally exaggerated. If we were to hazard a conjecture we should name one and a half million bales as tbe probable yield, and in giving our reason forso scanty an estimate, we should reiterate much that has been al ready stated in tho newspaper press of the country. In the great cotton districts of Mis sissippi. Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas and Western Tennessee, negro labor is still in u partial state oi disorganization. The freed- inen are generally behaving better than could .be expected, but not more than one-half of the hands that raised the ’61 crop cannowbe relied on as laboreis. In cases whtre they have a share of the crop they are mostly diligeni, but the amount of labor they get through doc6 not compare favorably with that of former times. Then agaiu, many of the plantations are lying idle through want of capital to re-stock them with the necessary implements and to pay the hire of labor. Iu Louisiana and Mississippi, the levees in many places are broken, aud large districts of the most pro ductive cotton lands are inundated. There is also considerable sickuess prevalent among tiie freedmen, and should it continue the re sult would not be otherwise than disastrous. Taking everything into consideration, sve , look c-n ih s year's crop as a gigantic experi- j meut. We would willingly yield ourselves j Adelina Patti.—Patti has had a- benefit in Paris, and tbe occasion was, it is said, that of her last appearance for the season at the Italian Opera in that city. The enter- taintuent was a great success. Not a box, stall or place was to be had two evenings previously, and when La Signorina entered to sing ier first song from Don Pasquale there waa not a place vacant. As Nomina, and in the last act of Lucia, Patti was much applauded. She was dressed in the extreme of good taste. Our Paris correspondent, however, writes thus under date of 24th of April; “The critics are beginning to be se vere npon Patti. They say that She is losing the freshness and simplicity of manner that was her great charm as a debutante, aud which, more than her voice, distinguished her from the older artiste. MORTUARY.

W. F. HOLLAND, Accountant. A Radical Harrangue in the Senate.— The discussion in tlie Senate on the 11th was made the occasion for an extensive ventila tion of buncombe generalities and irrelevant issues. The “great Speech of tho day” metropolitan Steam Fire En gine Company- livmhi-rs A-r tills Company aie notified . that the steamer will be put la service .for fire duty on Thursday, May lTth, si The Tax on Cotton.—The proposed ex cise of cotton having passed tho House of Representatives we presume that it will also receive the assent of the Senate. A more exceptionable impost was never conceived. Independently of injustice and inequality, it is of an odious sectional -character. The plea has been advanced that it will fall on tho consumer. This is fallacious. It will fall ou the producer without mitigation, ex cept where, from the state of the market, the reply should fail short of the demand. Why is there coupled with the impost a drawback in favor of tbe domestic manufac turer on that portion of the yarn and goods he may export ? Is not this from a consci ousness that the tax will fall on the producer and not on the consumer? If the impost were a tax An the exports there might be some plausibility in the plea that it taxed the consumer; but it is made to assume the form oi an exciso, which is a tax on the product before it-lc&ves the bands of the producer. Tho effect of the drawback, therefore, is to allow fi bounty on the exportation of yarn and goods—the product of raw cotton. A more unjust tax, as we have said, was never imagined. Besides itsipjustice iu the ab stract, Its inequality is Aggravated under pre sent Circumstances. The Southern States have been devastated. Their fields have been laid wfaste by war. Their capital in slaves co diminished as to compel them to pay a greatly increased price for labor, thm largely increasing the costs of cul tivation. Ia this a period., for imposing & discriminating tax on their principal staple ? Are there no friends of the South in Con gress to represent the facts as they exist ? Gzx.
