Approved August iff, 1861. 17 [From tie New Orleans Delta of the 25th ] Nhipping Cotton to the City. We understand that a petition, emana ting fro in a number ot our merchants and other citizens, has been, or is to be, presen ted to Gov. NIoore, requesting him to take measures lor stopping the shipment of cot ton to New Oaieans during the existence of the blockade, or while it is threatened with attack by the enemy. We had hop ed that the circular issued in the summer, signed by the great majority of our cotton factors, and supposed to be assented to by all. ur ging plantei s to keep their crops at home until further advised, would be quite sufticient to effect the object desired. We did not wish to see any extraordinary ex ertion of authority on the part of the Gov ernor invoked to accomplish a purpose which tlie planters and factors seemed so eagerly disposed to accomplish of their own accord. We still believe that it is possible to obviate the necessity of the Governor’s interference in the matter; and we hope that it will he only as a last resort that the Goveror will proceed to prevent by force the shipment of cotton to this city, t-ucli an act would import a morti fying contradiction of the patriotic, and self-sacrificing determination with regard to the disposition of the cotton crop, which was asserted by the press ot this city, and indeed of the entire South, to .actuate our planters and merchants without exception. W e have no doubt that tlie shipments to which objection is made are regarded by the planters from whom they come, and by the factors to whom they are sent, as too small to constitute a serious breach of the rule agreed upon of retaining the cotton crop at home. But the least reflection will show the idea to be fallacious. r l’hese small shipments would soon amount to a large aggregate. If a dozen exceptions are allowed, a hundred may he claimed with equal reason, and a thousand with not less reason than a hundred; and the rule would soon be reduced to a practical nullity. It ought to he unnecessary to allude again to the urgent considerations which demand that, while the existing situation of affairs continues, no cotton shall he shipped to this city or stored what in it. There is enough already in New Orleans to tempt the rapacity of the ene my, and tempt the connivance of Eng land with Northern designs, without ad ding twenty or thirty millions worth of cot ton ready for foreign shipment. If plan ters and factors, however exceptional in uurnber or in transactions, were allowed to coutinue to act in disregard of a rule obviously demanded by tlie emergency, the effect might be to change the whole policy of England regarding the war, and lead to result of the most deplorable na ture. In view of all the circumstances of the case, we still hope that the shipment of cotton, in even the smallest quantities will he at once stopped by the voluntary action of merchants and planters. But should this not be done, let them be warn ed that it will certainly be stopped some how, and that summarily and sharply. In another article, in the same paper, the editor says; Our shipping intelligence informs us of the arrival yesterday of 120 bales of cot ton by the steamer Mary T. which swells the stock now on hand in this city to 10- SSG hales. The determined policy of tlie South, the unanimous voice of our people, is thus disregarded. It is a small beginning, but still it is a beginning, and ought to be treated as such in the way all such viola tions of public policy and duty are treated. The parties who receive, those who send, and those who bring cotton to this city, are all participants in a palpable violation of the declared will and obvious policy of our Government, and the interest and defence of the people. If not stopped at once the quantity brought will gradually increase, and the patriotic determination and purpose of our cotton factors and peo ple will be defeated. If there arc factors who are unpatriotic enough to receive such cotton, it is not right that they should profit therefrom, while the great majority of the factors are submitting to such se rious sacrifices in order to carry out the pol icy of our Government. The Governor has made many seizures of private property, such as gunpowder, sulphur, arms, ships, &c., and lie might, with equal right and wisdom, seize the cotton which is sent here to endanger our safety, and forbid any further additions to the amount now on hand. From tiio Corner Stone. Dividing the Country* There is no use in getting out of temper and using hard words. Brown and Nis- betjarebotli candidates or Govern tor and one of them will be elected, the friends and supporters of the defeated candidate will have to submit to it with the best grace they can, and we had better all make up our mind to doit with a good grace. VVe have no sort of doubt of Brown’s elec tion, but if it should turn out that we are mistaken, we intend to submit to it very quietly satisfied that Nisbet will do the best he can. But to the question; “Who divided the country?” Let us examine the question tairlv. Every candid man who knows anything about it will admit that there were a great many men in Geor gia who wished Brown to he a candidate, men too, who had no sort of personal in- terst in the matter, beyond that common to every man in the State. Then there was a very large number of the people who were very much opposed to the sys tem of nomination by caucus.—Every body knew that. Indeed so strong is aud has been for years the opposition of a large portion of the people to that system that they considered almost anything pre ferable to it. Then there were a great many men who prefered to take Brown even for a third term to any man except some particular favorite of their own. In the face of these things somebody chose to try to get up a convention. This they determined to do and persisted in doing notwithstanging there was a very strong expression of the public feeling, so far as it cou’d be ascertained against it Now here was the first great step to divis ion ; and the convention notwithstanding less than half the counties of the State were represented persisted in nominating a candidate; of coarse if the majority of the State had been willing to have a Gov ernor thns thrust upon them there wuuh have been harmony for, of course, that Con vention and not the people would liav* elected the Governor. For ourself we don’t want harmony upon any such turns The Exportation of Cotton, The following article, which we copy from the Charleston Mercury, so well ex presses our own views on the question ol the policy of permitting the exportation of cotton during the existence of the block ade, that we adopt it. The writer says: We, as a people, derive no benefit from the exportation of cotton unless wc are al lowed to receive something in exchange lor it. If we cannot import foreign mer chandise, the cotton might as well remain where it is, so far as we are concerned. Keep the cotton at home while the block ade lasts, and those who want will be in terested to have ihe blockade broken up: but if they get the cotton notwithstanding the blockade, they will care very little how long it is continued. It is the policy of the Lincoln Government that the block ade shall he kept up, and if they can pro inote that object l>y connivin Hon. Jrssce D. Bright.—This genii tleman, Ex-Senator fiom Indiana, was recently asked by Senator Fitch whethei he had furnished a friend, in March last with a letter of introduction to Presi dent Davis. Mr. Bright, after acknowl edging that the letter in question is a gen uine one, says further: You say the impression is sought to be created, on account of this letter, that 1 am in complicity with the Southern rebel lion. I have so little regard—indeed, such an utter contempt—for abolitionism, whicl is seeking, by every means in its power to “crush out” every man who dares ti desert from the policy it prescribes, that i' it were merely to satisfy the corrupt par tizans of that doctrine, I would not take the trouble of denying, or attempting te counteract this impression. But for youi sake, and the sake of such old, tried friends as you, 1 think it due to myself ti say that I am, and always have been, fo> pieserving the integrity of this Union L was laboring zealously for its preserva tion when these men, who are now so clam orous for its maintenance, were willing t< ‘‘/o let it slide,” rather than abate one iota _ at Die ex- 0 f their unconstitutional doctrine of ine- portation of cotton to England and France^ j^alitj; and no man regrets more than I whereby the chief motive which might prompt those po.wers to break up the blockade would be removed, they will allow English and French vessels carrying cotton to pass out unmolested, taking care, as far as they can, to prevent tlie ingress of vessels bringing its the value of our pro ducts in the form of foreign merchandise. They know very well that we gain noth ing by the exportation of our cotton, it we get nothing in exchange for it. It is policy, on the other hand, that the block ade shall be broken up, and we can and ought to advance that policy by prohibit ing the exportation of cotton. "VVe have as good a right to pursue cur own policy in the management of our own affairs, as the nations; and if they think proper, from considerations of policy, to respect the blockade, with what reason or justice can they charge us with doing them any wrong or acting in any unfriendly spirit towards them, if we keep our own property in our possession until we are able to get an equiva’ent for it. Our two hundred millions of products are much better security for the kind feelings and good offices of other nations towards us while they are in our own country and under our own control, than if they were on the other side of the Atlantic beyond our reach, and in the hands of those who want them. People will always put them selves to more trouble and inconvenience, and incur more risk to get what they want, than to pay for it after they have got it. They are much more likely to break up the blockade in order to get the cotton, than for the purpose of giving us its value after they have got. ’J here is not the slightest reason to fear that by holding back our cotton for a few months, we should raise up competitors who would de prive us of the commanding position we have hitherto held in tlie maikets of the world. If such a thing were possible at all, it would require a much longer time than this is likely to endure. The bugbear of immense cotton production in India has been long thoroughly exploded, and asto the mote recent scheme of drawing a large supply of cotton from Africa, all who are at all acquainted with the condition oi that country, know that the idea is simplj ridiculous. It is possible, and even probable, that if the exportion of cotton were allowed, it might he a source of great profit ton iiidividals peculiarly situated; such, for example, as having commercial interests and connections abroad, if they were unable to bring home the proceeds in the foim of foreign merchandize could turn them to profitable account in foreign coun tries, until the termination of the war or the blockade. But the great public in terests of the many are not to he post poned to the gain of the few. If the Gov ernment lias failed to lay an embargo on cotton, the people ought to supply the omission Let the full weight of public opinion he brought to bear against the strong impulse ot private cupidity, and let those who are known to he concerned in the exportation of cotton, have the black mark of public reprobation. — Patriotism of the Jews.—A letter from Richmond in the New Orleans Crescent contains the following testimonial to the patriotism of the Jews: I am not sufficiently acquainted with the- history of the Jews in the United States to authorize me to chronicle the unanmity of the Hebrews in favnrofthe South, and the patriotism evinced by them in our common struggle, as even remarka ble. But such is the fact, I am aware that they always take the lead in com merce—1 have learned that in modern times they fought bravely and withdes- pention in Warsaw and Cracow, and the Old Testament establishes the fact that they were formerly a warlike people, and the present struggle demonstrates that they have a good deal of the old leaven still in them. They can he found in considerable numbers in the army of Virginia, scarce a regiment but can number from 20 to 50 of them in the ranks, some more or less, aud are well regarded by their officers as cheerful aud active soldiers. Among the 1300 Federal prisoners confined in Rich mond, every nationality is represented ex cept the Israelites. There is no Jew among them. Besides men, they have contributed money to the cause, and with no sparing hand at that. 'I hose residing without the Confederate States are with us to a man. The Jews of Chatham-street, New York, and of Harrison-street, Baltimore, are under the surveillance of the Federal de tectives.^ They are believed to he disloyal to the Lincoln Government, and are sus pected of furnishing material aid to the Rebels. Richmond is full of merchandize declared contraband by Secretary Seward, and every day brings fresh arrivals.— l’istols, swords, holts, buttons, gold lace, uniform trimmings, blankets, cassinets, casimeres, shoes and woolen socks are be ing received every few days, and it is no se cret where they come from and who brings them; and the prices charged for these in dispensable articles are not half as exor bitant and unreasonable at those charged by christain speculators in pork, bacon, flour and coffee, for the support of our gallant soldiers. Advice to Planters.—Gov. Moore* of Alabama, calls upon planters of Ala bama to gather carefully, dry and put up, in two bushel sacks, all the peas they can spare; also to cut, cure and carefully put up in the usual size bales, as much hay as possible- The recommendation is made from the fact that the blockade of the southern ports and of the Mississippi has ent off the necessary supply of hay and beans for the use of the Confederate army. Ready sales can no doobt be made to the Government for Treasury notes. Sav. Republican the present condition of public affairs, or is more anxious to see peace, unity and fra ternity restored. 1 do not believe the policy of this Administration is calculated to produce such results; so far from it, the inevitable tendency of its measures is, in my opinion, to render the disruption per manent and incurable. And hence, 1 have opposed, and so long as my present convictions last, bhall continue to oppose the entire coercive policy of the Govern ment. I hope this may be satisfactory to my friends, for my enemies, I care not Sincerely yours, etc., J. D. BRIGHT. Keep your Cotton at Home.—We do not deem it necessary to warn our planting friends of the impolicy of sending theii cotton forward to the various points of shipment. They must know the great importance of keeping it within their own gin houses for the present. Our only ob ject is to call their attention to the call for a public meeting, which, we understand is to take this matter into consideration. [Ala. Post. A Pulpit Accident.—Some days since we chanced to be in company with several eminent divines, who were relating numer ous amusing anecdotes of the pulpit. Among others, the following struck our fancy as deserving record: “I was,” said the reverend gentleman, “attending divine service in Norfolk, several years ago during a season of much excitement.— While the officiating clergyman was in the midst of a most interesting discussion, an old lady among the congregation arose, clapped her hands, and exclaimed, ‘Merci ful father, if I had one more feather in my wing of faith, 1 would fly off to glory.’ The worthy gentleman thus interrupted, immediately replied. “Good Lord, stick it in, and let her go; she’s but a trouble here!’ That quieted the old lady.” Th<* Farewell of Ihe New York IVcw*. It has already been announced that the publication of this able aud fearless journ al lias been suspended. The following announcement of the suspension and the causes which rendered it necessary, ap pears in the issue of the 14th inst. TO THE PUBLIC. To-day the unpleasant but imperative duty devolves upon us of bidding our read ers and subscribers a temporary, hut, we trust, a short farewell. After this mein ing’s issue, the publication of the Hail) and the Weekly Atws will be suspended for a rime. We make this announcement with a feeling deeper than regret, for it is a consequence of events that should liavt been impossible of occurrence in the Re public where we claim the rights and im munities of citizenship. We have stooo manfully at our post while the slightest hope remained of weathering the storm; but as our area of action has been narrow ed until even the possibility of our render- ' service to our countrymen lias vanish ed, we lay down our pen in the bitterness of despair, and await, for its resumption the propitious hour when persecution shall no longer strike the instrument of labot out of the hand of industry. The causes that have led to the suspen sion are so palpable as scarcely to need a recapitulation. We have been denied the enjoyment of mail facilities, which, in it self, is virtually a suspension by Govern ment decree. We have been shut out from express transportation, and attempts have been made to prohibit the sale of out issues in public vehicles of travel. Out property, and the property of our sub scribers, has been confiscated by Govern ment officials, acting without warrant ot process of law. Our advertising patrons have been threatened through anonymous communications, and some of those win have been in the habit of contributing to our editorial columns, for no other known cause, have been arrested and consigned to the dungeons of a fortress. Policemen in their official capacity, have interfered with our circulation by practicing intimi dation upon news venders. Our readers have been subject to insult and indignity and it had actually become dangerous foi a citizen to he seen perusing a copy of tlie Daily News in public places. Rival co- temporaries have paraded us in their col umns as fit subjects for popular fury and administrative severity, and have been as unceasing and unrelenting in their perse cutiou as were the prmtors of Caligula against the early Christians. The fanat ics in private life aud the fanatics in bigl places Lave leagued to crush us, and wt find ourselves at this day so completely shackled and shorn of all essential privi leges of journalism, that further puhlica tion becomes a mockery and a mere waste of time and substance. We wish the. public to understand thal while we withdraw, for a time, from the arena of our labors, we do not yield or re tract, or in any way admit as reprehensi ble, erroneous or treasonable, one thought, sentiment or doctrine that we have hither to advanced. The course of the paper, under its present proprietorship, was sha ped after mature and deliberate considera tion. Its policy was based neither upon selfishness, nor avarice, nor ambition, but upon a solemn sense of duty, in an hour oi great national danger- It were useless for ns to rehearse now those opinions, which, without deviation, we have abun dantly advanced from the beginning ; but, in the face of all the imputation against our loyalty that have been Hung at us by thoughtless enthusiastic and railing fanat ics, in the face of the bitter hate of rivals and more effectual hostility of official pow er, we affirm that those opinions were bo-n of honesty and matured by conviction- conviction that arguments and events have not changed, ana that reflection hat bat strengthened. Our _ been the country's welfare* and we knowingly published to the world no word or sentiment that had not in view that sacred object. We may have erred in onr estimate of the means by which a nation’s prosperity can be secured, but we can ad mit no arbitrary dictation to our heart and brain by any mortal being. . In taking present leave of our friends and patrons, we will now make a pleasant use of the occasion in extending to them the. assurance of our lively gratitude for their past favors. When the laws by which, till now, wo liavo beer* accustomed to be guided, shall resume their sway, when authority shall be stripped of its ex- tmucous attributes, and shorn of its usur pations, when the free thought of freemen shall bo permitted to radiate throughout the land, and American citizenship shall have become once more a reality and not a shadow, then wo will ask our friends to tyelcome us back to the duties and respon sibilities of journalism. Meanwhile, let them be reminded that the Neics “sleep- etb, but is not dead ” BENJAMIN WOOD. A Womna’a Devotion. A woman in camp is a rara aris. a sight good tor some years. They are like an gel visits, “few’ and far between.” How ever, I have several times seen one lately, and she comes upon a most painful and sor rowful mission, to see a brother who is un der sentence of death for striking an offi cer. He is a fine looking young man. I have never witnessed a scene so borrow ing to my feelings, so painfully impressive as the prison scene, in which she first met him. 1 never heard pathos and eloquence equal to hers. The spectators were in tears. I was sent for by her and went to the prison. I would not, for a long time, announce my arrival, but stood at a dis tance, held in awe by the singular scene. In the dim light of the prison, she was kneeling by her brother, and uttering such a prayer as I never heard before. A friend and relative accompanied her, and to him I at last announced myself. But it was long before he could talk coherently. “My God! and this is war!” was his re iterated exclamation. His sister had hurried to see him at the first notice of his situation. She has la bored for his salvation, moral and spiritual, with the spirit of an angel. She obtained a copy of the proceedings of the court- martial, and went as fast as steam could take her to Richmond to get a pardon for him. The President was sick, but she saw the Secretary of War, and he advised her to come back and get a petition for his pardon. Back she came, and with great difficulty got one numerously signed by officers. One officer of high rank refused to sign it. She seemed much dejected at this, and asked me what she should do. I replied, “go to him yourself, madam, and he will sign it. 1 know that you are irresistable, and no man with a heart in fils Lofiy can say ‘no’ to you.” I had signed it mjrcoif a g a i ns t my view’s of mili tary discipline, bui I would have torn the “articles of war” into atoms rather than grieve that noble woman by refusing her request. She took my advice, went in person to the recusant officer, and he signed it. She started that same night to Rich mond again, to plead for her brother’s life. He was to have been shot to-day at noon. This morning an order came postponing the execution of sentence. 1 look for her soon again from Richmond. Heaven speed her efforts. She is a young married wo man, and lucky is the man w ho has such a wife. She is, indeed, a jewel, and if her mother has any more like her at home I shall go to see them when this war is over.—Manassas Letter. Gen. McClellan.—The Commander in Chief of the Yankees, who has superseded Gen. Scott, prefessed, when a West Poin ter, to sympathize warmly with the Sonth. Like all genial and generous Northern men, he preferred the warm-hearted South rons to the cold, cynical, selfish mass of his own section. He may have been hon est in these sentiments, and we have heard that Yankeedom suspects his heart is not more than half in the wicked business of this war. He is said to have endeav- ered in Western Virginia to civilize his followers, and it is believed that he has no inclination to make this an abolition cru sade. We are willing to give him credit for qualifies which he may possess in com mon with many officers of the old regular army. But the huge pretensions which the North sets up of his military ge_ius are ludicrous in the extreme. He is au able engineer officer, but, when lie is talk ed of as a man of genius, he would langh in his sleeve at the idea, if he were not as vain as a peacock or Gen. Scott. His on ly success was in Western Virginia, and but for the aid of a spy and traitor even that successs would never have been achieved. If he had been the great man he is represented, he would have turned that success to the most brilliant account; for ho might have marched upon Staun ton and taken it without a blow. He however, went back to Cincinnati to see his wife, which shows that he thinks more of his home than he does of his country. We don’t blame him for that, for it must be a forlorn and repulsive home indeed which has not more claims upon its inmates than such a country as the United States. The enthusiasm with which the North has takeu up McClellan, without knowing anything about him and converting him into a Napoleon on the strength of his exploit in Western Virginia, is pttrile and absurd. Poor old Scott, a short time ago, was the Captain of the age! Poor old man, sitting with his legs in a tub of ice water and when asked about Beaure gard and Johnston, closing his stiff, par alytic fiingers in a grotesque attempt to represent that he’d “got ’em,”—where ia he now ? But yesterday, the god of North ern idolatry—now none so poor as do him reverence. We never hear of him now “Oh. no; they never mention him; they never breath his name.” Where is old Scott?—We fear that Loncoln has made way with the dear old man. We insist that a habeas corpus shall be procured by hook or crook, if in all Lincoln’s domin ions such an article can be obtained, and the body of ‘the great Captain of the age’ produced. Ifthe North is unable to fur nish habeas corjnis, we have no doubt that Jeff. Davis, merciful to a fallen foe, will lend a Southern writ for the purpose anil even provide the officer who will at tend to its execution. Nothing short of that will establish the fact that the great Captain still lives. At present we hear of nobody but McClellan, who in a mili tary point of view, is a greater hnmbug than the Lientenant-GeneTal. It is said that the bes f at Bull Run was sur passed by Ml leindeerin the late footrace at Le> -:.e-r. McClel lan himself was present : n backers.
