Iznsstt.—The N. Y. World urges on the Prcs-
me Issue of a proclamation of general im-
■ *."j tnd pardon. Not only docs the Const itu-
■ 3 confer on him theanthority to do so, but It is
friwsly authorized by the 13tb section ol the act
it>srcss of July 17,1SG2. defining the penalties
./ trtassn and iusurrection, in the following
liroi:
tijj President is hereby authorized, at any time
Aafitr, by proclamation, to extend to persons
/omit have participated In the existing rebell-
log in any State or part thereof, pardon and am-
jutt with such exceptions, and at snch time, and
usicboouitiilons, as hs may deem expedient lor
‘Ac public welfare.
The World believes it the duty of the President
;s make bis proclamation before the meeting of
(•unis, when the Radicals may repeal tbe act
tho power, in order that they may hold
nc'tbe Sonth the rod of prosecution for treason
\i terrify it into accepting the Constitutional
Iseodsent.
A CONVENTION.
1; Is absurd for the North to expect a general
Reposition for reconciliation to come from the
&!i, much as she deelres full restoration to the
fan. When the President’s message is promul-
ptt. should It broach a scheme for restoration,
nkh it will not do, the Sonth could not, even
Am,accept it, until those In actual legislative
pier themselves made the proffer.
I'eequrred persons ere not the ones to make a
p?ositlon—they receive It.
i.esidet t who in the Sonth, has the authority to
site a proposition that all are bound to accept ?
Uthe North really desires national peace and hcr-
soiiy: if she would really and truly have us sit
beside her at the national board, and aid in advan-
dog the honor and glory and prosperity of the
"hole country, then let her invite us to a National
Cooveation, where an agreement of compromise,
even though it contains large concessions on our
jart shall be entered into. ThU will bind the Sonth;
ud t# the promulgation of snch a convention, io
which she has sent her wisest and best men, she
’rill render adhesion and thus heal the wounds of
nrud end the bitter strife.

Tho Louisvillo Courier teiU tho following sail
little story:
Tho great maritime disaster, the ]o-s ol the
Evening Star, has filled many a household, both
in this and the old world, with mourning. Its
victims embrace representatives of nearly every
clai-s of seciety, and, among others, a large del
egation of tbe "frail sisterhood”—outcasts from
society, whom we have the fashion of scorning
here nnd damning hereafter. Among these un
fortunates was one who was born noar this city
who was remarkable for her marvelous beautv
and reckless life. Betrayed by one whom she
trusted, she abandoned home and family, and
fallowed her seducer to Mew York, where she
entero 1 upon a life ofinf.-my. A Bohemian of
that city tells her sad story in the following
lines, tier record is like that of nearly all her
listers in crime, and the story of one is the story
of all: J
far out in tho.West, where tho log huts lav.
Bathed in the gloam of a closing uay.
With naught her joy to mar,
Lived a maiden fair, witii golden hair,
\S hose form did well with hername compare—
Twas Stella, tlie Evening Stir.
Ear away from the North tho tempter came,
Vnd tho log huts told a tale of shame—
As many such there are—
Of affections past, of a maiden cast
Adrift to encounter, alone, life’s blast;
Poor Stella, tho Evening Star.
Far away to the East, ’midst din and strife,
Bartering her soul for the means of life,
And bearing the branded scar
That the world bestows, with its sneers nnd blows,
Unsparingly on tho heads of those
Like Stella, the Evening Star:
Fnr away to the South, aye, out of the world,
With her twin-named ship that the tempest hurl’d
And atript of mast and spar,
'Vent down in the deep—ahe lies asleep.
And tho merciful waves unceasingly weep
O’er Stella, the Evening Star.
The Great Southern Question.
Manufacturing Our Own Staple.
WHAT IT COSTS TO SPIN COTTON.
FACTS AND FIGVRES.
It was a remark of O’Connell that no one
“ should hesitate to repeat to himself.” His
meaning was that when a proposition was
worth impressing upon a people, its advocates
should not be deterred from pressing it con
tinually upon those for whose benefit it wes
intended, by fear of being thought tautologi
cal or tiresome. We appeal to this example
to justify us in returning to the great propo
sition of Southern prosperity—the conversion
of raw cotton into cloth. Wc shall not re
capitulate the advantages which the South
possesses, nor the great necessity which
exists for this work. Our present* purpose
is to call attention to the cost and pro
ducts of a factory of ten thousand spindles
and two hundred looms. The estimate is
from a practical European manufacturer, en
tirely familiar with thu cost ot labor in Eu
rope as well as in the United States, and hav
ing been entirely accurate when made some
months since, is relatively so now. It is
proper to say that the author of these statis
tics expected to have employed negro labor,-
we have assumed that the rates of compensa
tion do not seem unreasonable for any sort of
labor applicable to tbe purpose. Wc have
also assumed that tbe calculations made for
the meridian ot Alabama would be applicable
to any average point in the South. It will be
remarked that the estimates were based upon
a much higher price than ditton bears at
present For this difference any one repeat
ing ’.he calculation may make allowance. The
materia’’ items of computation arc the cost of
machinery and labor. These are believed to
be strictly accurate. The cost of a steam en
gine of one hundred and thirty horse power
mav be properly deducted in most cases, and
an important economy effected in the expen
ses of administration.

14,000 piece;; of shirtings, weighing twelve
pounds each; will consume about 038,000
pounds'of cotton annually, and will employ
about one hundred and seventy hands. The
wages "t these workmen, in- Switzerland,
would, on an average, be $25,375 in green

The Chamber of Commerce.
A MEF.TIXG IN FAVOR OF THK ABOLITION OF
THE PRESENT TAX UPON COTTON.
A meeting of the members of the Chamber
of Commerce was held yesterday at 1 o’clock
to receive the report of the committee ap
pointed to devise means to secure the aboli
tion of the present tax of three per cent, on
cotton.
Mr. Maury, chairman of the committee, sub
mitted the following report:
To the Chamber of Commerce:
The committee appointed to consider the
expediency of memorializing Congress in fa
vor, of abolishing the present tax upon cot
ton. beg leave to report as follows:
Tour memorial'to Congress, of the 10th of
May last, urged various reasons against the
proposed increase ot the cotton tax which
was then before the lionse of Representatives,
and among them that our cotton had lost its
former influence in tlmn.—'—Fiimne In
illustration of the correctness of tins
wc submit the following facts:

weeks 121,000 203,000
Yet under these circumstances, and the
known probability of a short crop in the
United States, the rise in prices at Liverpool
during the week was 3d. per pound or 371-2
per cent, in India cotton, and only 3 l-4d. or
17 1-3 per cent, in United States cotton. It
must be stated also; that eminent merchants
in Bombay estimate the growth of India this
year at one-fifth more than last year. The
comparative insignificance of our cotton in
the European markets may seem strange to
those whose information has not kept pace
with the progress of events in the last five
years, but the following table will explain the
change that has occurred:

The opinion, therefore, which has not been
uncommon in this country, that Europe
would practically pay the tax on our cotton
consumed tljcre can hardly, in the light of
facts here presented, meet with general ac
ceptance. A reference to your memorial of
May 20, will indicate that an enlightened re
gard for the public interest would necessarily
require a total repeal of the cotton tax in the
event of any important failure of the crop.—
Such a failure has now occurred, in conse
quence of unfavorable weather from the time
of planting to near the close of September,
accompanied by much destruction in the
Southwest by the caterpillar or army warm,
and this misfortune is the more severe upon
the South because of the great deficiency in
the . yields ot Indian corn. Our Southern
lands and climate are better suited lor the
cultivation of cotton than for any other pur
pose—much better than those ol other coun
tries, as is proved by the fact that, previous
to the war, we were supplying eighty-four
per cent, of the consumption of all Europe,
and notoriously, with great profit to our
selves. We see no obstacles to recovering
our position as chief cultivators, if the busi
ness is no more discouraged than that of
growing wheat in Iowa, or of pumping petro
leum in Pennsylvania. To continue a tax on
cotton is only to discourage its cultivation in
tbe best - cotton lands of the world, as ours
are, and to encourage it in the worst lands of
India, Egypt, and Brazil, where they would
be ready enough to devote much ot their
Boil to other purposes, ns soon as we begin to
throw crops of three or four millions of bales
on the markets of Europe at the lowered
prices which would naturally ensue.
Your committee are unable to find a sat
isfactory reason in favor of this tax. As a
question of revenue it may yield eighteen or
twenty millions, without compensating for
the injury done to national prosperity. The
result of the operation then is that the gov
ernment is paving high salaries to a multi
tude of men to collect the tax and to not a
few to pay it away again in drawbacks upon
cotton fabrics exported, when it would have
been better for all concerned if there had
been no tax at all. Justice and Ibc public
welfare are supposed to be the great aims of
legislation. And it is impossible to prove
the justice ol this tax when there is none up
on wheat, and while tobacco anil petroleum
arc allowed to be exported in bond, and,
therefore, free ol tax. While refraining from
any opinions on constitutional points, your
committee must say that it is very certain
this tax is productive of such evils as the
prohibition of export duties must be supj
posed to have been intended to prevent. 1
Your committee must not be understood
as condemning the tax which was levied upon
cotton left in the South at the close of the
war. On the contrary, perhaps that tax
might, without impropriety, have been twice
or three times as large ts it was; because
the United States-by achicvinga peace at an
enormous expense, bad conferred a high value
upon such cotton as had previously been com
paratively worthless, and therefore might be
held to have some rights ns salvors of prop
erty which was perishing. But, admitting
this, as to cotton grown prior to 1SGG, it is
fill very questionable whether the subse
quent growth ought to have been charged
with a higher tax or any at all.—
Tile real interest of the cotton-grow
er# requires rather that nothing should be
done to discourage cultivation at heme or to
encourage it abroad. In conclusion, your
committee find the pr.-sent tux to be iiulc-
iensible with refer, m e to the welfare of the
whole country, Xorth. Sonth, Ea-t, and
We.?!, and mu?! believe that it is inexpedient,
unjust, oppressive, and practically unconsti
tutional, and that the longer it is kept in
forcC tlie mare injurious it will be found to
perity.
niately export as much cotton to Europe as
was done before the war. During the past
four or live years great skill hud been ac
quired in the manufactory of cotton goodsg
they can now make goods out of India cot
ton, which was formerly thought impossible.
Therefore, in order that we may compete
with India, the tax cn American cotton must
he reduced.
Mr. Conklin was opposed to the r. peal of i
the tax. He said that prior to the war, cot-
ton was grown at 7 cents per pound. The I
highest price it ever touched during the last |
five years was in August, 1SG4, when good !
middling cotton wassold lor $1.85 per pound.
The same grade of cotton now sells in Liver
pool for 14 pence, anil in this market for 35 !
cents. The question is, whether the cotton - 1
grower can stand the duty of 3 per cent pet-
pound. Cotton was formerly grown in thu
South at 7 cents a pound. Why, then, can
it not pay to grow it now at 35 cents per .
pound, even with the tax? The cotton of]
this country is greatly superior, for all the
purposes ot textile fabrics, to the Indian cot
ton.
Mr. Maury said the Southern land was bet
ter adapted to the raising of cotton than any
other, and previous to the war we supplied
84 per cent, of all Europe, with great profit to
us. We may receive this again if the tax is
removed. The report does not object to the
levying of a tax on the cotton left in the
South during the war. That cotton was pre
served by the government, and they have the
same right over it as salvers upon property
that was perishing. But to tax the cotton
now raised is unju.n and inexpedient. There
fore, they desire to memorialize Congress that
the tax may be repealed immediately.
Best Dressed Man in Paris.—A young
English barrister has succeeded in Harrying
M'Hc R , the wealthiest heiress in Paris,
and connected with one of the highest fami
lies. The young lady was known topossess
undisguised weakness for a well-dressed
man, and, by loudly expressing this opinion,
had been of more servioo to the tiilora of
Paris within the last year than Countd’Orsay
in double the space of time. The .J^jrister
hall iiiuuj uui me imm ionnio.5^j
was a gentleman acknowledged to be tne
most approved dandy in Paris, The lady
selected these two to decide from, and invited
them both to her chateau.
The Frenchman declared to his fiicnds that
he meant to cut the matter short it once by
so outshining the Englishman by his dress
that the latter would retire from the field
crushed to atoms by the superior skill he was
determined to manifest on the occzsion. The
Englishman said nothing, made na boast, but
accepted the invitation, and together, by the
same train, the two rivals left Paris for the
seat of war. It so happened that the French
dandy had furnished himself with a regular
trousseau for the occasion, at tie great Eng
lish tailor’s in the Rue de H«lder, and the
English tailor, out of sheer compatriotism,
had told Mr. H. of what it was composed.
A sudden idea flashed across the brain of
tbe barrister. His servant, one ol the sanc
tified hypocritical roue valets, for vhom Lon
don was always famous, is sometting about
the height and size ot the French pretundu,
Mr. H. immediately ordered for this ally the
exact counterpart of every suit already or
dered by the Marquis de la B—. The first
day at dinner the poor young Marquis was
rather disconcerted when, upon entering the
dining room, his glance alighted upon the
very counterpart of himself, standing still
and self-centered behind the Englishman’s
chair; and lie looked angrily st his rival to
see if any insult was intended; but the Eng
lishman was too intent upon making himself
agreeable to the lady to notice his ruffled
temper. The second day the same scene was
enacted, although our hero had completely
changed even the style of his white tournour;
and again was the same ill-humor displayed
during the whole of dinner, while Mr. H—
was profiting by the silence of his witty rival.
The third and fourth repetitions were too
ridiculous. The young marquis, too clever
and too much the man of the world not to
feel the absurdity of his position, prudently
withdrew.

.Mr. I ield :
Horrible Life In a Falacc.
Correspondence of the N. 0. Picayune.
Paris, Sept. 14, I860.
They bore a coffin from tbe Tuilleries
t’other day. Are you not disposed to envy
the life of a man whose home was that palace?
He was a cousin of the French Emperor.—
Would you not like to be the cousin of ’ the
French Emperor ? ne was First Chamber-
lain and Superintendent of the Imperial The
atres. Wouldn’t you give the world to be
present at all the ceremonies of the Imperial
Court, to have the distribution of the tickets
to them, and to bo the mortal whose
very sight wreathes in smiles the faces of
the haughtiest stage beauties, and whose
drafts on their heart they dare not pro
test t Indeed you would! He had seven
teen grand crosses of the highest, selected or
ders in Europe. Don’t you envy him?—
Good reader, envy no man. I do not care
what his station of life or his wealth, or his
talents may be, don’t ezvy him, for if you scan
life closely you will almost always find the
greater the load of honors the greater the
weight of care or of pain.. Earthly life is a
churl who doles liapp'-ness to man in a stinted
measure, adding bitter dregs to the most
sparkling and delicious chalice, may be
to remind fortune’s most spoilt children they
are but pilgrims hert, and in their eternal
home fortune has no influence. “ Do
iny duty in that State of life in which it has
pleased God tc. 3all tne,” says the Catechism;
and the more conversant with life I become,
the firmer my persuasion grows to the phi
losophy of happiness as expressed in this
sentence. I have seen inaDy a spoilt child of
fortune in his dressing gown. I have never
seen one I would have changed places with.
Certainly Count Bacchioc'ai seemed dandled
by fortune as tenderly as she ever dandles
any one. lie ivas born is the gilded cradle,
and he trod life on a carpet of roses; but
with barbarous cruelty. It was one of
those nervous diseases beyond the
reach of medical scicace. He could not
remain still, either in a chair or in
bed, without suffering the acutest pain. The
nerves of motion were effected. He trans
acted business on foot; ho dictated letteraand
lists of invitation as he paced his office. He
listened to the performance of operas in his
latticcn box, which had no seat; in it, and was
covered with a thick carpet, that lie might
walk during the whole of the performance.
He saw ballets danced from the slips of the
stage. Often he would take the dullest books
issued from tbe press, have candles lighted in
bright daylight nnd read the stupid work
until he caught its heaviness, and was com
posed to sleep. Sometimes sleep would not
come even whan so assumed ; then ho would
walk until it did come; lie would walk until
lm had so exhausted the body the nerves were
insensible to pain, and sleep became neces
sary to life. On one occasion, he walked with
out intermission for thirty-six hours, trying
to subdue pain by fatigue.
The soles of his feet were red, as it they
hail been boiled, and blood had been forced
through all their pores. The Emperor gave
him rooms adjoining one of the largest pas
sage# of the Tuileries, and had it covered
with a thick Aubuson'carpet, that tha poor , „ ,
patient might enjoy his painful round With S December next°, ^tE^A^S^Sr'DuhuS
