The lutist newspap'-r esi’niatrs of tbe
-quantity of cotton needed for tho gen
eral eonsuaiafion of Europe for (tils sea
ron—that is, from the first of S'ptem -
b r, I&C6, lo September, IFG7—allow
fifteen hundred thousand ba’e, as the
ini ted States fir the pre'ent season.
But this quantity pays the National Ir
•telligence , cannot be furnished 1 y this
country. If tbe East India supply
should bi! below tbe estimate, as now
appears probable, tbe price of cotton
must advance. The American holders
of the article are, therefore, advised, by
some who sro familiar with the cotton
tradn, nut to sell at present. Our plan
ters'are, however, fur the most part
eon polled to Bell as food as their cop
is tetdy for market. It is probablo that
the present price will be maintained,
-oven if no great advance lakes [lice.
No large eue.s of money are going
South for the movement of the cotton
crop. This is accounted f r by the
supposition that the crop is btrely suf
ficient to meet the ScutLern demand for
Northern goods, imported and domestic,
and to pry for commodities already ob
trinul this season uponcreuit.
There are no good grounds fur belief
expressed in stuieofthe Eastern papers
that the cotton crops of tho uext and
future seasons will be very large. So
far as tLu calculation is based upon the
suppesifion that the labrr of freedmen
may be better relied upon,it will prove
fallacious, as the most experienced plan
ters are now convinced. Then, again
there will be adequate increase of the
amount of capital employed in coiton
p lantiag. W e learn from private and
authentic sources that Northern men
who embarked in planting in Mi-sbsippi
and other Southwestern States the past
season are quite discouraged, have lost
money, and have no intention of contin
uing t' e experiment another seasm
Tdcd, span, the relations of the cot
ic-n growing States with the Fedeial
Government are not improvin'*. The
legislation of Congress at the ce ming
session may render them worse. There
•is no certainty even that tbey will re
peal the oppres ive tax on cotton, which
is » premiufii upon forrign competition
with our o#6 cotton-grower*.

It is obvious from the tone of senti
ment in the Southern States, and tl t
complexion of tbe Legislatures of Del
aware tnl Maryland and Kentucky
that ihfconstitu'imal amendment iu its
Ir. h cannot receive tho vote.*
• f ti e number of States necessary t*
i's ratifienthw. It results from this,
says the X i mnl Intelligencer, t l at w*
may eontinne in our present unsettled
p, {ideal condition, with toa States mere
if' 'Jrrti i)i’ ml roe of the Union. It is ob
vi ms that there me grsvc objir. ins
(go the continuance of this state ts
thing'. Tbe miro inquietude which it
c nnot but oc n-ior, from the uncertain
ty of wba‘ may ociu r , cannot but have
the nu st injurious iifl ience upon the
material it terest if tho country, bulb
NnitH and South. Besides everyday
that the present anomalous condition
continues is a woun 1 lo the organism ol
the Government, and to tbe spirit of
free insiilutions. We cmnot fail to
perceive that there aro grave cau-cs for
appreheusi n in the future.
Suppose that, as has been suggested
in certain Kidical qvarters, tho States
now represented in UoDgross choose to
and clare themselves the only Stites com
petent to act on the subject of amend
irg the Constitution, and that it is le
gitimate fir tluni, without consulting
the ten excluded S.ates, to give validi
ty to the amendment. This could not
be regarded as anything less than a
revolutionary act. The amendment
thus adopted would 1 avc no constitu
tional or m' ral force in contemplation if
is opponents. It would leave the ques
tions involved entirely unsettled, mere
ly c ntinuing the term of agitation and
adjourn ng a final determination. In
ihefaeeof the Consiti• u ien, the action
of CoDgrrss and the Exeeut'vo in ac
cepting as valid tho action of the Su
preme Court in regard to the cases on
the docket of the cou t, this revolu'iou
ary action cannot s rlously bo enter
tained.
Pjgrng by this eau‘o of apprehen
sion, we find .‘till fui h r causes fir
alarm.
There evidently is great ground, from
the tone ol some if the leading Radical
presses, to apprehend that Congress
may undertake to s t a-ide the existing
State governments South, and reorgan
ize them on such a basis as would put
their political power in the hands if the
blacks aud a very small minority of the
whites. This would bi a measure
fraught with incalculable evils, scarcely
less than tho organization if anarchy
at the South. AVbether the Radical
majority in Congress will go to this
length cannot, of cou r sc, now le cor
tuijy determined, but, undoubtedly,
mauv indications seem to point in that
direction.
Another danger not to bo overlooked
in considiri ig the causes of apprehen
sion before us is tho threatened attacs
on the Executive power, tho edict of
which no one could foresee, except that
it would effectually destroy, if success
ful, the independence if Iho Executive
department. We might continue to
elect a President, but tho tffiec would
practically have been abolishej, because
no future President would venturo to
differ from Congress.
But supposing m no of these dangers
alluded to overtake uq then there is
still another ono of moro alarming pro
poitions, if possible, which, supposing
there is no adjustment if cur unhappy
political troubles, may arise in the natu
ral ciurse of events. We refer to tho
next Presidential election, which comes
off during the term of the next Con
gress.
Suppose in that eleeticn the
Southern States cast their electoral
votes, as undoub cdly they will, and
suppose by counting these votes in al
dition to votes for the same candidate in
tho other States, and such candidate
should have a mnj irity, what would be
tbe result? Will the present Senate
refuse to count the votes of the South
ern Mates? If they refuse to count
them, will the party which has suc
ceeded in the election rest satisfied ? I*
there not great danger of another civil
war ?
PaosrECT of a General Amnesty

who has had extensive oppol uni ties
for surveying the condition und pros
perity of negro labor in tho Southern
States, that it would baa very liberal
e timute to ray that the bluetts per
formed one-half as much labor as they
formerly did when in slavery. Their
former habits (enforced habits, it is
true,) of steady and continuous work,
have, to a large extent, given place to
indolence, and employers find It diffi
cult to rely upon them in those plant
ing operations wbtre formerly thei■ in
dustry was sn effective. In some
places the condition of things is ex
ceedingly bad, and ] lantors feel utter
ly discouraged. The question of com
pensating the blacks has been cneof
the hordes': of settlement. Owing to
tho want of money last Spiring, a great
proportion ol the pdnnters agreed to
give the negroes a share in the crop;
but this mode is found to-havo led to
endless confusion and trouble, besides
producing discontent on all hands; and
the plan will be generally abolished
hereafter, and that of weekly or
monthly w ages m actual money sub
stituted. There are very many grave
quei i ias connected with this
negro question in the South, and those
who think they can all be solved by
simply giving the black population the
priviledgeof voting, will yet find them
selves greatly mistaken.— N. Y, Times.

in India.
A Calcutta roper nf August 1 Oth
rays that 20 000 p.iup rs from the fim
i ic-vrieken region have i iundit and Ca’-
entfa, and the arrivals are reckoned at
200 p 1 r day. We have ou the
highest authority, a frightful picture of
the ; r vailing do* i’ution, e*p cialiy :u
Calcutta. It would bed tiienl: to ex
aggerate the magnitude anl extent of"
th; calami y. Ail accounts that l have
seen, seemed to have undented it.
I*. is difficult to obtain reliable stasis
tics rs to tbo n; -rta.i y from tbo fam
in’, and cholera corn,fiucd by it; but
all (hat. I have seen and h ard have con
vinced me that i’ has been of a fright
ful uiagoitudj. There a-e tt"ll four,
long, dark months b"fori; us, though
fir a month pas’, there has seemed
so’B slirlit ebiterre.it in tbe uis'ress'ki
the four districts of Batnzore, Mvdna
pero, Saru n and Tirahout Ovir for
ty t'.oiis ind non lab. ring paupers, were
bring relieved in the l.t cr parted Ju
v ; besides fovea thousand, who were
nhle to mak'S 'ine return for food, by
working.
A week later we find 31,000 daily re
lieved in Btiz re and M rdnapore
ainn'; while l’.ore and N'ldda added
17,000 m ire to the fa! list.
It is believed ibat in Catfak, the mu
jo’ity if the people mu-t tlio before re
lief o.u reach them ; while 1,000
jura- ns a day were perishing at the sin
el i sta'i nos Batszore. A vessel, the
Table Cain, which was bringing them
food, was driven rtf bv a storui, and
onmp'Hed to threw overboard, 1,500,
bags if rice.
Put this is not all, and probably not
the worst. The new emp of riee will
so n bo ol tainei 4 , hut it is likely to add
anew source of datnago. For lacking
othor food, tho poor people will devour
it in its uDmaturcd and unwholesome
state, and a dreadful pestilence will
probably be thus produced
Until the 'land can he covered with
a mt work of railroads and canals, there
serines to bo no ccape from tl e fre
quent repetition of such calamities,
and ih.it dty is far distant.
Another aec unt says:
When the famine was at its bight,

Tho castom of having tho ou’er eli'X
piay-skirts of tha same material and
make as the dress itself, so that one is
hardly destioguishable from the other,
was a graceful and eomon.lablc feature
among tuc thousand of fashion-queens.

It seems unkind in the Confederates
to make so many charges against Gen

Federal army, he didn't make any up
on them,
There is no truth in the report that

stated that when ho <1 .os leave,it will be

himself as Well as the Emp r r of the
the French. It is believed that he
will rorire from that country at tho same
time that the French troops are with
drawn, at.d g r with them.
The unsettled and almost chaotic con
dition of that, country preset t-r such uu
cortain’y fi r the future, that the tncr
cantilo interests, especially tlmso who
iden’ifivd thean.clvis with tho empire,
are in a great state of alarm over the
retirement of die French. According
to tha most rcliabe advices, both the
Impend and Liberal governments are
financially bankrupt, an I find it necessa
ry to rely upon forced loans (another
name 1 r plunder) to pay expenses from
day to day. This has bor ti carried to
such an cxtuit that the people are ready
for any change, believirj,* that they
cannot possibly be any worse off than
at present. Nor is there any prospect
ofitnmediate relel from their prescut
dilemma.
