He disH misses the officers who commanded" it breaks I one of the companies, and disbands the others, observing that but 1 >r considerations of mercy!! all the delinquents should be punished with ' the utmost rigor of martial law. The exam ple now made, although not so severe as this act of cowardice merited, will suffice. The army generally will regard the disgrace in flicted on these men as the greatest punish ment that could be bestowed. It is not proba ble that such a sad pusillanimity will be again shown. Ihree days ago, Gen. Changarnier, com mander-tn-chief of the national guards of Pa ris, issued an order to the colonels of Ac seve ral legions to meet him with the principal offi — cers of his staff, at appointed hours, yesterday, at the mairies of thoir respective arrondiss’e mvnU, to confer with him on matters of urgen cy. These conferences took place, and the subject is nowftnown to have been tQfpncert with the several commanders of the tpgions what measures should be taken in each arron (lisscment in the event of another attempt at insurrection. The importance attached by (.fen. Changarnier to these conferences has been manifested by a strong reprimand, pub lished in the Moniteur, against one of the co lonies, who, being prevented from attending personally, sent his lieutenant colonel to the conference. The colonel has since resigned. The postscript in the European Times says, that the accounts from Paris, dated July 13th, arc again of an unsatisfactory character. A report is current to the effect that a serious division prevails in the government. Evidence has been obtained, it is said, which so bravely inculpated certain members of the late go vernment that it has been judged by some of the present government to be unavoidable to apply to the Assembly for permission to pro secute them. Another party in the govern ment is firmly opposed to this, not on grounds connected with the merits of the question, but from reasons of expediency. Gen. Cavaignac himself is included in this latter party, the greatest activity has continu ed to be observed in the departments of the war Office. Tho Etat-Major of the National G uards, the Minister of the Interior and the prefecture of tho Police. It appears certain that attempts at excavation have been attempt ed in numerous places; one of these is close to the Chamber,another on the Boulevard Italians near the Rue Louis le Grande, and another near the Faubourg Tosisonierc; much alarm continues to be felt, and it is very remarkable how few persons are visible in the streets or public walks, although the weather is line; the officers of Etats Major have been warned by Gen. Cavaignac to adopt extraordinary precautions, for attempts would be made to assassinate them at their respertive homes. Later Intelligence, by Electric Telegraph [ I'mm the London Times, loth.] Notwithstanding an official announcement by the government that no danger of an outbreak existed, the Paris papers of yesterday show that much apprehension prevailed throughout the French Capitol.—All the political prison ers were moved on Thursday night, from the prisons of Paris to the detached ports ; several escaped on the way. The National Guard and the garrison were under arms at the de parture of our express;and]cannon wore planted at various points. Our correspondent express es his conviction, nevertheless, that no move ment of the disaffected would take place. The following are samples of the reports in circulation One is, that a general murder of the members of the Assembly is intended; means being organized of executing this sim ultaneously at their respective places of abode. Another is that an organized assault will be made on the boarding schools, where young persons of the one and the other sex are eduM cated, that these shall be captured and kenlllP t,. t > rtgttvrrp*«-tyt»i»ty~a n 'ment of a ransom of money, and the contest! sion of such political measures as the insur gents may require; other reported objects have for their ends the blowing up of portions of the Capitol, by means of gun-powder deposited in the quarters of the Catecombs, sewers, pipes, cellars and other excavations, which already exist besides exca itions expressly executed for the purpose. 1 is understood that the Pensioners and other establishments for edu cation, have been placed under careful sur veillance. Again, it is said that a column of 40,000 ouvres, without work, intend to march to the National Assembly, and demand per emptorily to be fed or to be shot. In Spain, the insurrection in favor of the Count Do Montcmolen, fills the government with alarm. Salamanca, the capitalists, whose dexterity as an intriguer renders him one of the most formidable enemies of the present government,is about to experience’the effects of its vengeance, by the confiscation of all his property in Spain, as a Carlist and a rebel.— Narvaez proposed this measure in a cabinet council, and it will probably be carried into effect. But little reliance is to be placed in the news Trom Navarre and Catalonia, pub lished in the government journal. The Cap tains General of Catalonia and Navarre have been ordered to slioot upon the spot Cabrera and Edo, or any other Carlist chief who may full into their hands. Coi.oone, July 13. The inarch of the Russian troops into Mol davia is confirmed. The people a Republic, and the Prince has bWi forced to abdicate. It is reported that the Prince has been exe cuted by his subjects. The Russian troops on the Prussian fron ties have moved to Gallicia. The Austrain Ministry has resigned. The news from .Berlin is unsatisfactory.— The communists are endeavoring to incline to an insurrection similar to that of Paris. The three months armistice between Prussia and Denmark has been confirmed, (for the third time,) Peace is expected to supervene. Portugal is tranquil. Mehemet Ali is represented to be insane. Considerable disturbances have taken place in the neighborhood of Frankfort. Barricades were erected, and some loss of life took place. In Italy, the war is still carried on without vigor. No»farther decisive impression has been made by Charles Albert. Late information from Russia is not authen tic, but 20,000 men arc said to have entered Moldavia. The chalera is frightfully on the increase. Germany is still unsettled. The election of the Archduke John is causing the utmost excitement. Ireland. The crisis it now fast approaching, and each party is girding itself for the conflict. The government, by a vigorous censorship of the press, the arrest of the confederate missiona ries, the employment of spies, and the aug mentation of its armed resources ; and the pro digious activity in the enrollment of clubs, the establishment of thjj_l.eaguc, the distribution of arms, the most complete fraternization t>f classes and boundless resolution Vind enthusi asm on Saturday night. Mr. Duffy, of the Nation, was apprehended on a charge of treason and felony, and committed to Newgate, whither he was t'illowed by Mr. Martin; of the Felon, who had previously surrendered. On Monday the proprietors of the Tribune, Messrs. O’Dougherty and Williams, and Mr. Hoban, the publisher, were committed on the like charge, the whole of whom will be tried at tho mission on the Bth prox. arrested in Cashel on Monday, and Mr. Mca-* gher in Waterford on Tuesday, on charges of sedition, and will bo tried at tire present assi zes in Tipperary and Limerick. Mr. Mea gher’s apprehension caused the utmost excite ment in Waterford. The chapel bells were rung; thousands of confederates assembled, and it required all the authority and influence of the gifted captivef aided by the Catholio» clergymen, to prevent the peo ple from falling upon tire military and pqjf6e. As it was, they stoned the authorities, and cut otf one body of the troops from the other..— They created a formidable barricade, Which im peded th* progress of the escort, and for miles harrassed and hunted the procession,but happi ly no life was lc t. During the week, also, a Mr. Darcey MeGi and Mr."llay wood were also arrested for seditiui , but the bills were thrown out by the Wicklaw grand jury on Tuesday. The excitement, not only in Dublin, but throughout Ireland, is everywhere intense, and the note of preparation is everywhere sounded. The flag of revolution has extended to England, and scattered. The united re pealers and chartists are rapidly organizing and arming. The Nation, notwithstanding its proclamation, has appeared this morning. On Monday, the convicted chartists in Lon don were sentenced each to two years’ impri 1 somnont.with security for future I good conduct. The Queen’s Ministers have abandoned their intention of permitting her to visit Ire land in the course of next month. [from the London 7'imes, July 15//i.J LIVERPOOL.^Julv P.

Mr Toombs, and the Augusta Whig Presses- This gentleman has managed in his clap trap Buncombe harrangue in Congress, which is dignified with the name of a speech, to befog his supporters here as to his real opinions on the slavery question, 'fhe Chronicle and the Republic are charmingly, by the ears, in a dis cussion whether Mr. Toombs favors the one side or tho other of the opposite opinions held by those two presses on the question of the rights of slaveholders in the new territories. As Mr. Toombs was not attempting a pro found legal or constitutional argument, but just “ blowing for the b’hoys,” and address ing the superficial intelligence of his party to furnish ba-room and street corner arguments., we wonder he did not make himself more clear. Perhaps he did not desire to be wholly com mitted to any one of the two sets of opinions, advocated by the two Whig presses of his district. We will let the two fight it out at the pre sent. . We are at no loss, however, to perceive that Mr. Toombs and the Chronicle chime together. We are somewhat amused at ting distinction made by the Choniclc t as to what its own views are. The Republic says of it and of Mr. Toombs. “ The Chronicle of Wednesday says that Mr. Toomb#Lißy sustains all that it had said up on this That paper had frequently slavery was abolished in New slaves could not be the consent of the terri until the law abolishing , slavery* litre should be repealed by Congress. It gave, therefore, to both the legislature of the territory and to Congress tho power t. Q legislate upon the subject of slavery. Now we deny that Mr. Toombs sustains either of these absurd, anti-Southern and dangerous po sitions.” To this the Chronicle replies : “ This paper has never said that “ slaves could not be carried into New Mexico and California without the consent of the territo rial legislature, or until the law abolishing slavery there should be repealed by Congress.” On the contrary, we have asserted that “ the right to take slaves there is unquestionable.” But to render this right of any ’practical value, the laws of Mexico which forbid slave ry in the acquired territory should be repealed “ by seme competent authority.” That is a curious sort of unquestionable right which is of no practical value, and has no law to sustain it. The Chronicle says it is a right forbidden by the laws of the country of force there when this 'unquestionable' right is claimed to exist. On the same princi ple it might be said that a man has an un questionable’right run his hand in his neigh bors pocket; but that as it was against law, he would be sent so the penitentiary for ex ercising his unquestionable right. The Chrotiicle denies haring said that slaves could not be carried into New Mexico and California, without the consent of the terri torial legislature, or until the law abolishing slavery there should be repealed by Congress. It says on the contrary, the right to take slaves there is unquestionable. But the Chronicle says that the slaves will be taken I away, and made free as soon as they get there, | that such is the law prevailing there notwith standing the conquest, and the annexation of these countrfes to the United States. How such a right as that can be called an unquestionable one, is a little enigmatical.— The Chronicle could have meant nothing else than that the New Mexicans and Californians did not allow slavery—and the conquest, an nexation and treaty did not supercede their laws prohibiting slavery. Therefore slave holders did not lfave the right to carry their laves there, and hold them there as such.— It is too late for the Chronicle to shrink from that position, except by backing square out. Our Position Misrepresented- The Chronicle 6; Sentinel does us gross injus tice in saying that The Constitutionalist and The Chronicle Sj Sentinel fully agree upon the the "momentous sectional question” which Mr. Clayton’s Compromise Bill sought to set tle. The Chronicle is pleased to dubit, "The miss-called Compromise Bill,” and quotes the following paragraph from our paper of Friday last, to convey the impression that we were op posed to the bill. Agitation will only temporarily subside. It again spring up in Congress under some uretext. aiul-thcu the necessity of such a price ki-s the Missouri Compromise line wi?f't ' —, *ade •ijore palpable than ever. As long as the right, and the chance of its being exercised, exists, of the carrying slavery into the newly acquir ed territory through all its wide bounds, there will be agitation and clamor in the free States. The moment, however,a Northern geographical limit is fixed upon, beyond which it is not to be carried, the public mind of the whole coun try will acquiesce in it and become content with the arrangement. It is because we-take this view of the case we advocate the adoption of the Missouri Compromise lino extended to the Pacific. —Constitutionalist 3(P/i tilt. The Chronicle is pleased to make the follow ing among other comments : These views arc founded in common sense; and wc are pleased to know that on a momen tous sectional question, that democratic paper, hitherto so ultra, and this journal now fully j agree. Now, we know of no paper South of Mason & Dixon’s line with which we more widely discs ' gree then The Chronicle Sentinel, on this mo* j mentous sectional question. ] The Chronicle objects to this Compromise Bill, and quotes us, to show that we do the , same. Here is a part of the language wc use in the editorial thus quoted from : Thf. Compromise. —We sincerely hope that the labors of the Senate Committee of Eight will MSult in the restoration of harmony and good feeling to our agitated country. If. the bill they have reported be adopted, and its provisions carried out in good faith-Mn the spirit of a just regard to the rights of all sec tions, such as prompted the Committee to frame and report it, then our glorious Union is forever secure ; for it will* have weathered the most threatening storm that has ever yet lowered over it. We shall shope for the best from this com promise, and since it has met with the appro bation of so many of the patriotic and wise in our national councils, and is likely to be hailed with such general satisfaction in the South, we are content to unite our own hopc | ful voice in its favor.— Const. 30th ult- These are the first sentences in the editorial. The Chronicle quotes the concluding portion only of that editorial. We expressed in that editorial a hope that the bill would pass—and a fear that it would not pass. It is true that we thought it would only lull the storm for a while—that “ sooner or later the ! question of a territorial division between the slaveholding and non-slaveholding people of | our common Union will be called for.” But we believe also that this “ might be safely ad journed for the present by having it in abeyance —neither Congress or the territorial legisla- I tures attempting to legislate upon it.” We would have preferred—we do prefer the 1 Missouri Compromise line. We would hare been glad to have seen this Congress adopt it. But we knew this to be impossible. It was attempted in the Senate—in the Senate Com mittee —in the House. It failed. It was put down in every shape. This bill of Mr. Clay - tdfcjs was the only practical compromise bill and passed. Wc were con- Ethis if wc could get nothing that Bid conclusive. It was a step gain a step towards peace and u final It brought present peace and ,quiet tfhe country. We said in the same i editorialWc cannot doubt that there is a conservative good sense and attachment to the Union ii} the country that would carry this cCompromisc Bill (Mr. Clayton’s) triumphant ly if left to the popular voice, and made a dis tinct issue before the people. Another Con gress would be strong enough to carry it.” Let not the Chronicle hereafter, in opposing and condemning this Compromise Bill, hold us up to its readers as fully agreeing with them. It is quite the contrary, we can assure them. We differ to to coelo from that paper, and think that it holds on this momentous sec tional question, “ anti-Southern and danger ous positions.” Colonel Humphrey Marshall is stumping it through Kentucky for General Taylor. The same Colonel Marshall, a few days after he ; returned from Mexico, gave the following ! toast: —“General Wool—Thk Hero of Buena ! Vista.” n Loss of the Compromise Bill It is with a deep feeling of disappointment that we announce the intelligence of the defeat of the Compromise Bill in the House. This is an appalling calamity to the country, and must cause every heart to beat quick with alarm, for the union of the States is in danger. How can it survive the stormy waves of fac tion and fanaticism that**® beating against it, now that this barrier, erected by the patriotism of the Senate, is deliberately beatcn.down by a reckless majority in the House, who would thus seek to win a party triumph even at this tremendous hazard ? What hope is there for peace and union in the face of so much unscru pulous devotion to party ? Oh Whiggery! manifold are thy sins ! But this is the climax of its iniquities. But what will our readers think of a South ern man— a Georgian—who has aided in thus annihilating the hopes of the patriots of the country ? Yet a Georgian was the man who took the lead in this act, which stabs the very bosom of his country’s peace, and that man is Alexander Hamilton Stephens. We refer our readers to the Congressional proceedings in this day’s paper. This reckless step is said to be the result of a Whig caucus on the 22d instant,-in which it was resolved that this Compromise Bill must be killed, because it would endanger the election of Gen. Taylor —that it was necessary to his election that the country should be kept du ring the whole canvass, in its present terrible excitement. Whatever be the result, we ap peal to the people of Georgia to exhibit, in the most emphatic manner, their indignation at this desuerate device of Whiggery to attain-? political power. ....., .T~rr itk ■ i . ly, to mark the conduct of Mr.f ntepiu.. we rightly comprehend the case, it is a signaP instance of party being a stronger motive than j patriotism in the breast of a < “ Gen Taylor Never Surrenders ” Text. We will now furnish a short commentary. It will show the reliance that is to be placed upon the firmness and self respect of an old man who has been dazzled by the prospect of occupying a position for which he acknow ledges himself, in substance, utterly unfit, and has himself, not only so stat ed but given most conclusive facts to prove it. In his celebrated Signal letter—the Wilmot Proviso letter, on which the Northern Whigs electioneer for him, he says : “In no case can I permit myself to be the «, candidate of any party, or yield nvjself to party schemes. On the loth of July, the man who had thus announced his position, writes to Mr. Moreliead as follows : Sir : —I have had the honor to receive your com munication of June 10 th, announciny that the Whiy Convention, which assembled at Philadel phia on the 7th of thut month, and of which you were the presiding ofScer, has nominated me for the office of President of the United States. * » * '*■ * * * . I3PI CORDIALLY ACCEPT THE NOMINATION. Who will now say Gen. Taylor never sur renders ? This is another illustration of the infirmity of human nature. Few men are capable of so stern an adherence to a principle they lay down as a rule of action, as to be proof against the temptation of ambition, or the blandishments of designing flatterers. Gen. Taylor has yielded to both, and has there by lowered his position in the eyes of the world. It is not that there could have been any dis paragement to his just fame in consenting to be the candidate of a party. Such a position is high and honorable. It was no disparage ment to the greatest men our Republic has produced, that the}' were at different times candidates of their parties. But having assu med a position independent of parties, Gen. Taylor has greatly weakened his moral force before the country by being tempted from it, and shamelessly abandoning it. lie descends at one headlong stride from this elevated pedes tal into the dust and mire of squabbling polit ical factions, and is converted at once into a party leader or a party tool. That this view is taken of his conduct is evidenced by the disbanding everywhere—but especially in Ma ryland, of the Independent Taylor Party. Those honest men who relied on his repeated and solemn pledges that no case would lie permit himself to be the candidate of amrty, political organization, when AKey unequal to the moral heroism of sustaining his independent position and resisting the so licitations of a powerful yet desperate party which, as a last hope of attaining power, sought to avail themselves of his gunpowder popular ity. The case illustrates another infirmity of hu man nature. Men are usually not satisfied with what nature has fitted them for, or the credit they have j ustlvacquired. They weak ly strive to excel in some department, for which they arc unsuited, and make a failure of course. So with Gen. Taylor. He is as much unfitted by education, association and habits of mind, for the office to which he as pires, as a stone mason to make a watch, or a botanist to build a steam engine, or a mathe matician to cure disease, or expound com mercial law, or lecture on theology. Some men can succeed in different and opposite pur suits. and do. But they arc not able to do so without study and preparation. Knowledge does not come by intuition. It is rather late in life for Gen. Taylor to take up a new pro fession. It would look rather absurd to be hold him with his political horn book in hand and Webster, Corwin or LlzF FILLMORK indoctrinating their hoary pupil in their pecu liar school of political science. Speech of Mr. Berrien on the Territorial Bill We will endeavor to lay a portion at least of the able speech of thil Senator upon the Slavery question before our readers at an ear ly day. It is marked with his usual legal acu men and learning, and is in every respect a masterly effort. We take occasion to call the attention of the Chronicle A Sentinel to a typographical error in its columns of Friday last. In publishing the speech of Mr. Berrien, tho word not is left out of the last sentence of the following section quoted from Yattel’s I,aw of Nations. Book Ist, chapt. 20, p. 113. “ All the members of a corporation have an equal right to the nse of the common property. But respecting the manner of enjoying it, the body of the corporation may make such regulations ■ as they think proper, provided that those regu \ lati oils be not inconsistent with that equality of | / ight which ought to be preserved in a communion iof property. Thus a corporation may deter mine the use of a common forest or a commoi* pasture, either allotting it to all the members, according to their wants, or allotting each an equal share, but they hare not a right to exclude any one of the members, or to make a distinction, to his disaatmUage, by a.4ki|p#ng him tr less share than that of the others.” This is section 248, in chapter—2o, ■ Oil tllS subject “Os Public, Common and Private" Property.” The error every reader would perceive at a glance. Wo take the trouble of quoting the paragraph because it is good law, and contains in a nut shell, by obvious analogy, a large por tion of the gist of the controversy between the Wilmot Provisoists and the South. Martin Van Buren’s Acceptance The New York Herald of the 20th inst. pub lishes a letter of Martin Van Buien—the apos tate —addressed to a Committee of the Indus trial Congress recently held at Philadelphia, in which he declares his acceptance of the nomination of the Barnburner Convention at Utica. Thus have an unholy ambition,and the fierce personal resentments of a selfish spirit, induced a man to forget patriotism and become reckless of his country’s welfare. He consents to a movement which seeks to array the country strictly into two parties, di vided by a geographical line and by a sectional question, the direct tendency of which is a destruction of the Union.

That Washington correjkmdent says: Thl’ompromise Bill, as it is called, will fail. On last Inday it would have passed bv a lar*majority. Mr. Barrow, a Whig Reprc sentave from Tennessee, congratulated the lIouJ on its introduction into the Senate. On Satiday you will see that the effort to amend the |1 by striking out all that part relating to (i ornia and New Mexico, failed by a very deci id vote in tho Senate. On Saturday it is u lerstood, however, that the Whi<*s had a c< Ference, the result of which is that, in the ipinion, if the bill passes, it must des- 1 tro heir prospects in the coining Presiden tial lection.

The ■at argument that GencralTaylor is aslave lder will not then apply. So the rights of p South on this great question are to be held abeyance, and their interests are to be put as stakes in the next Presidential election. The vote in the Senate will probably dis use where justice to the South, and respect her rights exist umong the parties of the senator Corwin, a Whig from Ohio, has just jicludeda speech, which will make five men » of six in the South who read it disunion i.

Another Congress would be strong enough to carry it. But sooner or later the question of a terri torial the slaveholding and non-slaveholaing people of our common Union will be called for. It may be perhaps very safely adjourned for the present by leav ing it in;abeyance—neither Congress or the ! territorial legislatures attempting to legislate upon it. But we cannot expect this always to I last. Agitation will only temporarily subside. It will again spring up in Congress under some pretext, and then the necessity of such a line as the Missouri Compromise line will bo made more palpable than ever. As long as the right, and the chance of its being exer cised, exists, of the carrying slavery into the newly acquired territory through all its wide bounds, there will be agitation and clamor in the free States. The moment, however, a Northern geographical limit is fixed upon, be yond which it is not to be carried, the public mind of tlie whole country will acquiesce in it and become content with the arrangement. It is because we take this view of the case we advocate the adaption of the Missouri Com promise line extended to the pacific. [communicated.] The Presidency, An Office of Trust -1 lie gratitude of the people is supposed by the Whig party to be the very gist of their i candidate’s “ availability.” General Taylor himself does not consider it a condescension, in the midst of his modest disclaimers of fitness for office, occasionally I“ to stir up their pure minds, by wav yn£i„,i-—* wiiK an allusion to forty years ; of service, and two years spent in the tented field without the cover of a roof. In return for these services, we are told by his friends, he should be rewarded with the Presidency, the highest honor in the gift of the P eol >lc- - a - Now the •p’fifi'i.apt to arise in any dis- | criminating the Presidency is merely an oJfisxtP honor? Whether, indeed, it was constituted with any view, even the most remote, to individual distinction and ag grandizement ? Whether it is simply a niche to be filled by the object of national gratitude r The above inquiries lead inevitably to the conclusion that the Presidency is an office OF TRUST —AND OF HONOR ONLY AS THE INCI DENTAL OF TIIE TRUST. The trust reposed in the President of the United States is tlie highest known on earth. Well might the “ Father of his country” dread its responsibilities, and feel even his in- , adequacy for the discharge of its duties. We consider General Taylor’s conviction of his own incompetency no argument against him. It is the proof which he furnishes of the im possibility of his being at all competent, which argues irresistibly against entrusting him with this responsible office. Here fs the argument which rests upon facts disclosed by his own correspondence. A man who has not for forty years made po litical questions a subject of investigation, is prima facie, utterly unfit for any important political station. The presumption is against him—a presumption, which in this case, a mounts, of itself, to almost overwhelming i proof. The burden is of itself sufficiently oncr \ ous to crush him, without the aid of proof ab | extra. On the supposition, however, that a man utterly inexperienced and untried may be com petent, it is barely possible for him to afford | such evidence of the fact as would furnish the | nation with a rational ground for his support. For, let the facts be what they may, the pco ! pie must have the evidence before they can rea | sonably act upon them. Suppose, now, this untried man, in his po- I sition as a candidate, and in the expression of his political views, to be perfectly consistent i and correct. Wc would feel that there was nothing in his conduct to increase the pre- I sumption against him —but would it not tako I time for us to acquire that confidence, which ! is emphatically “ a plant of slow growth.” If, on the contrary, the evidence which he ! offered the country was contradictory and in ■ consistent, our first impressions would be con firmed. If General Taylor’s letters and pledges jbe a mass of inconsistencies—if they display ! the most inadequate notions of the structure of our government —then do his efforts but | heap proof jiositive upon the presumption he is i laboring to rebut. ’Tlie time which the most competent man un | dcr like circumstances would have required in order to inspire a rational confidence in the people —was all he -would have needed to ac cumulate a mass of direct evidence against him self which would have made even the most partial friend stand aghast. Time enough has already been afforded, we trust, to clinch the presumption in the minds of the people, and save him from an eminence which could only serve to render his unfitness conspicuous. As the ground is acknowledged to be barren of civil fruits, his friends are forced to point to his military skill. Sound the argument they build upon this, and observe its utter empti ness. Military skill assuredly proves fitness for military station. It also proves the possession of faculties, the devclcpcment of which would : in some instances fit a man for civil office— and, in othcr instances, would not. This de l vclopment is the result of experience, and its t growth cannot be forced. It is a matter of un . certainty, until tho trial has been made, whctli -1 era mere military man will ever prove a states t man. But it is no matter of uncertainty, when * the question is—can he become a statesman in . Wholesale.

We give this morning our usual month ly table, iiiadjVp to the latest dates received, from which it will be seen that the exports to Great llriuin are 1,- 198,352 against 745,008 bales last year ; to France, 276,- 842 against 216,377; other Foreign Ports, 248,133 against 149,935; Coastwise ports, 039,042 against 570,765 bales last year—making the total to all ports of 2,353,909 bales, against 1,682,143 bales (luring the same period last year. The receipts at all the ports sum up 2,255,400, agains t 1,751,378 bales last year, allowing an increase of 504,188 bales. The stock remaining on hand at all the ports is 256,439, against 330,009 bales last year. The past month lias shown a steady market, with prices tending upwards. The affairs of Europe appear to be more settled, and as confidence is restored business as sumes its natural channels, and our great staple, Cotton, lias participated in tlic general rise which has conse quently taken place. As regards the growing crop, it is too early as yet to speak with any degree of certainty as to its yield. This much we may say, however, that from the whole Cotton region we receive flattering accounts of the crop, and unless some untoward circumstances occur between this and frost, the crop will be a large one. The receipts at this point continue light. COTTON.—Oui market opened on Wednesday last with a good demand, and the advices received since then from Europe, per steamers, have caused an active business to be transacted at prices fully \c. advance on all descriptions*. Yesterday, however, the demand fell off, holders refusing to submit to the reduction claimed by buyers, who generally demanded about Jc. off from the prices paid Monday. 'The few sales made, wore at full prices for the better qualities. There is a fair amount offering, and when the letters per Europa come to hand, we think business will be actively resum ed, as more confidence is manifested by buyers than for some time past. The sales this week have been heavier than wo have reported for some time, reaching 2820 bales, as follows: 4at4s;2 at 4J ; 41 at 5; 2at 5j ; 28 at 5J ; 70 at 5g ;67at 5 7-10 ; 114 at 5\ ; 178 at s|; 371 at 5g ; 152 at 5 9-16; 144 at 5 13-16; 247 at s£; Bat 5 15-16; 790 at 0; 06 at 6 1-16; 384 at 6j ; 137 at 6}; and 21 bales at Ojjc.
