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*. The gross receipts at the New Or leans Custom bouse since the first of January on tbgjpax of two cents < n cot tor, up to the 30|h cf June, and of three -cents per pound since that date, amount to $,831,808 34. The Radicals, says the New York Express, ought to blush with thame for that l levying this hard* nsomc tax upon a people whom they will net permit ro he r< presented in tho councils es tjo nation.

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 —Tho Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette says: “There is a rumor and an impression existing among very intelligent gentleman of every shade of political opinion that before the assembling of Congress the President will issue a proclamation declaring general amnesty, with a lim ited number of exceptions.

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 seems unkind in the Confederates to make so many charges against Gen eral Bu-ler When he commanded a Federal army, he didn't make any up on them, There is no truth in the report that Mnvimi’j iu abdica’od the throne before le left ts e City otM. xico for Or'zib i.

It is further stated that when ho <1 .os leave,it will be iu a rin nuer that will r. fl ct honor upon 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.

Nor is there any prospect ofitnmediate relel from their prescut dilemma.
