Cotton nud the Cotton Trade.
Tf .we examine the ccusea that have produced
the present low prices in cotton, our attention is
immediately directed to the wars and political dis
turbances in Europe. The consumption of cotton
manufacture* is'considerable in Prussia and Den
mark, Naples and Sicily, Sardinia. Lombardy and
Vcuice, where actual hostilities have been waged
fora large part of tho past year; while in Franco
aud Germauy, where revolutions have occurred,
tbe demand is large, both for manufactured arti
cle and tbe raw material. - But not gulr in these
countries have political troubles lessened the non-
s imption. Tbe Chartists in England, tbe Repeal
ers in Ireland, aud the Cariiste in Spain, though
their movements have not been so successful ns to
be houored with the name of revolutions, have ex
cited alarm and disturbed the confidence which is
so necessnry to tlitvoperations of industry aud com
merce. Besides these political causes which have
affected the demand ana price of cotton, the com
mercial and financial embartassmeuts which pre
vailed throughout Europe ot the beginning of the
year, and the large crop of the past seasou, and The
fine prospects of (he one now gathering, have ex
erted mure or lesa influence.
To separate these causes, it may be remarked
that the supplies of 1818, aud even 1849, would
out have been eqnal to the demand of the present
year, if there had beyn no foreign decline in the
consumption since 18(5 or 1846. This will show
satisfactorily that tho present low prices are not to
be attributed to our production, but to other caus
es. These are principally tho political troubles iu
’Europe; but if we examine the English exports
for the present year, and compare them with for
mer years, we will fiud that- although there has
been no falling off in the exports to Belgium, Hol
land, Greece, Portugal. Russia, Sweden and Tur
key, where quiet and order have uot been dis
turbed, and although tbe deficiency in the exports
to Austria. Denmark, France, Germany, Naples
and Sardinia, where wars aud revolutions have in
terrupted the pursuits of commerce, is very large,
yet the amounts seut forward to the British |his-
sessious, and to other countries out 6f Europe, have
sensibly declined. It follows from (his that poli
tical troubles have nut been tho ouly causes of tho
present decline. The large crop* in the United
States, when connected with the fulling off ja tbe
English exports to Asia. Africa and America, would
have brought down prices below their average
rulhs; aud as this average, since 1840 is about 7j
cents, aud as tho present price lor middling fair
cotton is about 5J cents, (October 28th,) the de
cline produced by political causes m ust be jess
than this difference of 24 cents. If, then, the pros
pects of general peace should increase, the price
may be .expected to rise aud tango between the
present range aud tlie average ; but if, ou the con
trary, hostilities should bo renewed, especially if
England, Fiance or Russia should become involv
ed in the quarVels of the other States, we may look
lor a still further decline. As the chances of per
manent peace iu France, Italy or Germany, or of a
general war involving Euglaud and Russia, are both
very small, uo material change iu the present pri
ces can now be expected.
These general remarks on the probable price of
cottou for the coming year, it is necessary to make,
before t)ie supply and demand can safely be esti
mated. L°w prices not only diminish the English
imports from tbe East Indies, but also the receipts
at the American (Kiris. Whenever cottoii falls to
the present low rates, our planters hold back their
crops, diminish tlicir production, aud wait for the
coming of better limes. In ludia, more is retain
ed for domestic use. anil more is shipped for the
Chinese market. The opposite effect is produced
by advancing prices. This influence is felt m.ore
particularly in tl*s demand thau in the supply. A
large crop and low prices universally bring a great
increase in the consumption. Although the prices
iu J utuiary and February were good, aud the com
mercial embarrassments of 1847 were still exert-
jug their influence, and violent political agitation
was disturbing nearly every couutry iu Europe,
still the consumption has largely advanced over
1847, on'accomit of the low rates to which cotton
has now fallen. So it has always been, ahd so it
will ha hereafter. Low priees lessen tlie supply
and increase the demand, wbiie high prices pro?
duce the opposite effect.
Iu considering the supplies from the U. States,
it may be remarked, that tbe amount cf the old
cron in the hands of the planters is unusually large.
This is especially true in the Atlantic States, where
must of the cotton is seut to market by rail roads,
But the same is also true iu the west. This is the
natural effect of low prices, ami still tftore of de
clining prices. The planting for the present year
has been large; the seasou has been long; the
spring eaily and the frost late; the picking began
simiu ; aud the weather for the picking seasou has
been very fine.'' Scarcely a rainy day occurred in
September, and in October there were very few.
No general blight has overtaken the crop. Tlie ra
vages ol the caterpillar nml boll worm have beeii
local and limited. Tbe rust and the rot have done
hut a partial injury. There was too much rain iu
the summer,’he drought succeeded suddenly, aud
tiiauv of the foru.3 dropped off without maturing.
These tmd other drawbacks have tint been gener
al or of great importance, especially when com
pared with the disasters of last year. We say,
therefore, expect that the crop will be large aud
the receipts greater tlrnu in mty former year. From
South Carolina t<ud Georgia, the number of bales
sent to market iu .September aud October have
juoro than doubled those of last year, showiug the
early state of lh& crop, aud the lur<;e amounts ol
last year’s cotton iu the hands nf planters.. In these
two states, I would estimate an advance of r0 per
ceut over last year's receipts. In Florida, a large
increase may he expected. Not that their /crop is
so superior, hut because the disasters that have
been so ruinous there for tbe last two years, bar*
not been felt. The rust has done some harm, but
the ravages of the worm were stayed by the hot
aud dry weather atthe end of August. The plant
ing was generally large, aud aloug the Chattahoo
chee the iyc.rease in the production wijl be very
great. From Alabama, the reports hare been al
most uniformly favorable. Iu the spring and sum
mer they were very good. In August, the com
plaints, of the boll worm were numerous but the
tine weather of September and October have re
vived the hopes of the plauters. Remembering
how extensive was the failure of last year, nu ad
vance of J5 or 20 per cent may, 1 think, be looked
for. At New Orleans, we cannot expect any in
crease, because their last year's crop was very fine.
A heavy storm in ^September iujured tbe opening
cotton throughout Mississippi aud Lo risiana. Tlie
worm has beet, busy in North Alabama and Ten
nessee. An increaso may be expected iu Arkan
sas and Texas, but not ftom any other portion of
the country which fiuds a market at New Orleans.
Still, as many circumstances have been favorable
to a large yield, no falling off in the receipts can
he anticipated. For*tbe whole Union, I would es
timate the crop of 1849 at 2,550,000 hales Were
it uot for the low prices, the estimate might ho
larger, a* 1 do not doubt that the actual produc
tion, tulded to the stocks on band, considerably ex
ceeds this amount.
The imports from the East ladies mast rapidly
decline in 1849. When Sura* end Madras are
quoted iu Liver|iool at 3 pence for fair cotton, it is
impossible to look for tbe usual receipts from In
dia. Tbelotig voyage, the heavy freights, th* de
lays iu receiving payments after u shipment is
made, the expensive inland transportation before
the cotton is brought to the seaports, cannot be
paid for, considering the inferior quality of their
cotton. Low prices do not produce their effect
immediately on so distant a market, bat tbe de
pression has now continued long enough to exert
their legitimate influence. By considering tbe
advance and decline in tbe East India imports in
former year*, according ns-tliey were encouraged
or not, by the couditon of the European market, I
cannot estimate tbe receipt* from this source to
exceed 100,000 bales for 1S49. although for 1847
and 1848, they lire over 200,00ft bales. This is
lower than the imports for any.former year, except
1846, but the discouragements to large imports
from ludia are now greater than at auy former
period.
From Brazil the supplies may fall off because of
the low prices, but this deficiency will be made
up by the iAcrease from Egypt. Th* interruption
in the demand at Marseilles and Trieste, because
of the political troubles in Frauce nud Austria,
will divert a larger portion of Egyptian cotton to
Great Britian. As the whole of these supplies is j
small and nearly stationary, there will be no dif-
ficnlty in makipg au approximate estimate for tbe
camming year. The imports into England from
South America, the West Indies, and Egypt, will
be aboat 150,000 bnles for the present year, and I
would anticipate tbe same for 1819.
We have thus the total supplv for these sources
for 1849, nt 2,800,000 bales. This exceeds con
siderably the amount of any former year, but as
, price? are very low, end the consumption in the
I Uuitod States has goha steadily forward, the dy
maud will pearly eqnal this, iu spite of the wars
and the disturbances in Europe. The stocks oil
hand are not extraordinarily large at present, end
this slight increase, can be borne without further
depressing prices.
The largest consumer of cotton is the United
States. England is tbe great workshop, indeed,
of tbe world, lint the actual consumption in our
country exceeds that of Great Britain and Ireland,
and nil the English possessions iu tiio fonr quar
ters of the globe, iucltidiiig the English exports to
Gibraltar nud India, whence duuhllega large n-
roounts are reexported to Spain and tbe Ewt lu
dia Islands. The N- York Shipping and Commer
cial List, which is the highest authority on tliig
subject, gives 607,000 bnles sr the American con
sumption for 1848- Gf this, 523,000 bales were
delivered to tbo lactoriea at tho unrili. and 75,000
was the estimated consumption of the south and
.west. This estimate is probably too. low—t
nuinly the amount allowed for Georgia is not near
ts large as it ought to ho. But taking this number
aud turning the bugs into pounds, at 400 ponuds
back, the amount reaches 423,000,000, which ex*
ceeds the average of the last three years in Eng
land by 7,000,000 pounds. As the increase iu our
country is moresiapid than in auy oilier, we may
be regarded hereafter as the largest consumer in
the world. The home market, however under
valued, is thus the most important ot all. I have
taken uo notico of our importaaiid "exports of cot
ton goods, supposing tftit They wijl nearly balance
each other, tn value, the imports are double tha
ex|M>rts : but the former being light aud valuable
while the latter are coarse aud cheap, the weight
of both is probably about the same. Our con
sumption for 1849 may he estimated to be larger
than for 1848, as tbe amount h»* uniformly in-
preased for many years past. It was feared that
the low tariff of 1846 would diminish'the home
demand for the raw material, but experience has
happily dissipated these fears. The importations
of cut t‘ui manufactures have .increased very large
ly ; but tlie enterprise and industry ot our manu
facturers have uot ouly kept the market for heavy
goods iu their own bauds, but eyeu iu the fiuer
articles, they have forced the importers to lessen
their supplies with which they at Qrst deluged the
market. The consequence has beeu. that the on
ward progress of our home consumption has suf
fered not the slightest check. For (849 I would
estimate the wauu cf the northeru manufacturers
at 550,000 kales; tho amount consumed in the
South aud west being excluded from tbe estimated
receipts, is also excluded from the _estimataii de
mand.
The wants of Great Britain for her home market
will be as large in 1849 as in any former year.—
The harvests, have uuw been good for two succes
sive seasons, and the stocks of grniu have accumu.
luted. The total repeal cf the duty in March next
will bring down tho prices of corn still lower than
they now are- The work on railroads is goiug on
briskly t and the demand for labor on these new
works will be considerable. The manufacturing
towns and iron districts, though not iu a prosper
ous condition, have fair wages, and but few of the
furnaces are out of blast, and few of the mill* are
working short tiu>®- The curreney is undisturbed,
aud the rate of interest low. The home consump
tion is about 30 per cent of the whole, and this
part of the demand may be expected to be as large
ns in 1845. If we examine the exports to that part
of Europe undisturbed by wars or revolutions, we
will fiud uo diioituition in theirdemand for English
manufactures. This includes Belgium, Greece,
Holland, Portugal, Russia, Sweedeo and Turkey,
and receives 25 per cent of the whole amount ex
ported. The goods forwarded to Austria, Denmark,.
Germany, Lombardy, Naples, Sardinia and Sicily,
have fallen off fully one third below the average,
and no revival in this trade can be reasennbly ex
pected for the coming year. The exports lo the
British possessions, and to other countries out of
Europe, have declined in 1848, hilt that is in part
to he attributed to excessive supplies sent to these
countries during the financial troubles of last year.
We may, therefore, expect that the deliveries to
tbe trade fur 1349 will exceed the consumption
of the pre6eatyear, aiid though it mny not reach
the nmounts of 1845 and 1846. it will approach
nearly to those limits. For 1849.1 would estimate
the English demarffl at 1,570.000 in 1815, 1.560,-
000 in 1846,1,140,000 in 1847, aud about 1,300,000
in 1848. , '
The exports from the United States to France
during tlie present year have increased from 241,-
000 to 279,000 bales, but each of these is much
less than the exportsof previous years. The deliv
eries to the trade for the first eight months of 1848
were 193,616 bales, ngaiust 194.248 in 1847, but
the consumption of American alone bad increased.
The political troubles have not, therefore, been
more disastroas to tbe manufacturer thau the scar
city and Ilieh price of food in 1847. -With the
low prices that are anticipated for 1849, the con
sumption will probably advance. The amount of
American cotton wanted for tlie/coming year will
not probably be less than 300,000 bales, against
356,000,. tlie average for the five years ending De
cember 31st, 1846. The consumption fur the
present year will be 270 or 280.000. nud an in
crease of 20 or 30,000 bales may be safely expect
ed.
The consumption on the other parts of the con
tinent lias advanced ovei last year, hnt is probably
less than iu 1845 or 1846. The diminished wants
ofGermany and Austria are balanced by the in
crease in Russia, (Belgium, Holland and Spain.—
Tho average consumption of the continent has
been for tlie last five years 391,000, and for the
last four 412.000 bales For tbe prescut year it
will probably reach 420,000 bales, auduuudvauco
rather than a decline may he expected.
From this review oftbe wants of Europe and
America, it would appear that the demand for ,
1849 will probably amount to 2,720,000 bulcs. and j
this will cause mi increase in tbe stocks of 80 000
hales. As theftocksdn Liverpool are uow 140,000 j
bales over those of last year, a still further in
crease cannot fail to keep down prices to very low
limits. Not, indeed, below their present rates,
for the stocks are uot near us large now us they
have been formerly, and they will bear this in
crease without? further depressing prices. The
prospects qt the planters are gloomy iudetd. The
proper remedy is to lessen the production, and
this will doubtless be done. Seif interest will
prompt them to look for other employniput for
capital than the raising of cottou at 5 or 6 J cen ts
per pound. Until this is done, uo improvement
iu prices can be reasonably expected.

She Works Corn Living.
Commend us to the girl'of whom it is sneerin'.ly
said, “She works for a living.” In her we are al
ways sure to find the elements of a true woman—
a real lady. True, we are uot prepared to see a
mincing step—* haughty lip or a fashionable
dress—to hear a string ofspleuilid nonsense about
the kalis and the voting men—the u«w hovels and
the next putties—no, uo—but we are prepared to
bear snuud words oi good sense—language be
coming woman—and to see a neat dress, a mild
brow, aud to witness movemouts- that* would uot
disgrace an angel.
Ye who are looking for wives-and companions,,
turn from the fashionable, lazy, haughty girl and
selectone from any of those who work fora iiviiig
—ritiid uever—our word for it will you repent your
choice.—You want a substantial friend and not a
doll, a help-mate, and not a help-eat, a counsellor
nml not a simpleton. You rnuy nut be able to
carry n friend into your house, but' you can pur
chase a spiupiug-wheel or a set of knitting- need
les. If you-cnuml purchase any uew novel, you-
may he able to take some valuali-e paper. If you
enunut buy a ticket tn the ball, you cau visit sumo
a libeled neighbor. Be careful then, when you
look for companions, aud whom you choose; Wo
know many n foolish man, who, instead nf choos-
iug-the indhstriouannil prudent woman for a wife,
took one from the fashion -kfejjfc-j'li aud is nuw
repenting his fully in dust ana nlhettt He rau
into f lie fire with his eyes wide upcu, and who
bqt himself is to blame.
Tbe time was when ladies, who went a visiting,
toqk their work with them. This is the reason
why we have such excellent mothers. How sin
gular would u gay wouiau look, iu a fashionable
circle* darning her father’s stockiugs, or carding
wool to spill T Aud yet such a gay woman would
be a prize tor somebody- B’eessed is the man
who chooses his wife from among tbe despised
girls who “work for a living.”—[Boston Qlive
Branch.
’'She works for a living.” Quite enough, this,
to exclude from the society of the “upper ten,"
someone, perhaps in face aud form divine, aud iu
the character of whose miud and heart the virtues
shine pre-eminent. A-ye,- “she works for a living.”
The prejudice that exists in the minds of those
*fobo denominate themselves the ton, und move iti
the first circles of fashionable fenmle society,
agaiust those of their sex whom circumstances and
■uisfurtuuo have thrown upon their personal labor
for a livelihood, is by no means uncommon. Tho
fashiouable lady, too iudcleut, or too daintv to la
bor, looks down upon the more humble female
who works for a living, yet nut unlikely, our lady
elite, by her own extravagance, and to keep bur
station iu the faslliouable circle, helps to impover
ish the parent _ whq supports her. Should slie
chance to meet iu'the social circle, or the publio
assembly, the humblo laborer for her own support,
tbe exclamation is tbe first in mind—O! “Sho
works for a living.” Absurd thut it should be so,
and yet bow often true thut it is. Iioueat and
industrious labor fur support is honorable aucj
females thus engaged, chaste, virtuous, emiublo
and intelligent, deservo to rank among the best;
certainly they deserve anything but the snuur,
“she works for a living."
“Full many a gcn» of purest ray serene.
The dark, unfatiiomcu caves ofocean bear;
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen.
And waste its sweetness pu the desert air.’”
The class that “work for a living” are a humble
class, but iu their fives when exemplary—in tbeir
homes, there is something beautiful, something of
deep and touching interest.
Their labor gives to their homes a sacredness,
for it is the scene of their sweetest pleasures, their
dearest attachments—a home, the place of repose,
the centre of all their joys. When the toil of tha
day is over, and some little scheme of pleasure is
plauucd. some fumily visit to n eoucert or lecture
room, or a Irieud or relative, tlie whole doniestio
circle partakes of the excitement: the members,
from the oldest to tlie youngest, mingle iu the
he.irt-marm jubilee. And what, after all. is sods-
lighllul us that species of pleasure which prevades
a whole family circle, and kindles pure feelings in
tbe breasts of ull who look up to it either with re
spect or affection, Pure are the joys of those who
work for aliving. Toil sanctities their hearts and
sweetens theireujoyments and contentment exist
with "her who works for a liviog,” aud happy the
man who finds his companion in the humbler
walks of fife, where trial, if need be, is cheerfully
borne, und care neither breaks down nor corrodes
the miud. Whether males or females, sweet art
the toils and the lives of the humble laborers, the
pure, the virtuous nud the intelligent, who “work
l’ora living-”
“Let nat ambition mock their useful toil.
Their homely joys and destiny obscure.
Not grandeur hear, with a disdainful smile.
The short but simple annals of the poor.”

“The minister had just been ejected Brigadier

Early iu the war, the inhabitants on the frontier
of Burke county, North Carolina, being apprehen
sive of au attack by the Indians, it was determined
to seek protection iu a fort, iu a inure dense peo
pled neighborhood in an interior settlement. A
party of soldiers was sent to pro tec* them ou their
retreat. The families assembled, the line of
march was taken toward their place of destina
tion, and they proceeded koine miles unmolested
—the soldiers marching iu a hollow square, with
the refuge families iu tbe centre. The road to be
travelled lay through u dense forest in the fork ot
s river, wliere tiie Indians concealed themselves
and waited till tbe travellers were iu the desired
spot. Suddenly the war whoop sounded in front
aud on either side ; a large body uf painted war-
riots rallied iu, filling the gap by which the whites
had entered. An appalliug crash of firearms fol
lowed. The s ddiers, however, were prepaietl;
such as chanced to be pear the trees darted behind
them nud began to ply the deadly rifle ; the others
prostrated themselves upon tlio earth among tbe
tall grass, aud crawled to trees. The families
screened themselves as best they cbuld.
The ou?et wus lougand fiercely nrgecl; ever and
anon, amid tlie dui and smoke, the warriors would
rush, to run hawk iu baud, towards the centre': but
fhey were repulsed by the cool intrepidity oftbe
backwoods ritlemeu. Still they fought ou, dot- r-
tniued on the distruction <<! the victims w ho offer
ed such desperate resistance. All nt once au ap-
pnliug sound greeted the ears of the women sud
childrcu iu the centre; it was a cry from their
defenders—a cry for powder ! “Our powder is
f iving out,” they exclaimed ; “have yon unv T—
iriug us sonic, or' we cun fight no longer !'’ A
woman of thu party hud a gooj supply. She
spread her apruu on the ground, poured the pow
der ill it, and going round to each soldier as they
stood bejliud the trees, bade each who needed
powderput down his hat, aud poured n quantity
into it. Thus she went round the line of defence,
till her whole stock, and all she could obtain from
others, was distributed. At last tlie savages gave
way, and pressed by their foes, ’were driven off
the ground.
Tbe victorious whites returned t,o those for
whose safety they had ventured into the wilder
ness. Inquiries were made as to who had been
killed; aud one running up cried, “Where is tho
woman lh.it gave us the powder f I want to seo
her.” “Vos!—yes!—let us see her( : - responded
auolhergud another; “without her we should have
all been lust.” The soldiers rau aboqt among tho
women and children, looking for her and tiftikiug
inquiries. Directly came iu others from the pur
suit, one of whom observing the commotion, asked
tlie cause aod was told. “You are lnokiug iu tbo
wroug place,” lie replied. “Is she killed? Ah!
we are afraid of that!” exclaimed "many voices.—
“Not wbeu I saw her,” uuswe-e.-t tlie soldier.—
“When the Iudiaus ran off, she teas on her hues at
prayer at the root of yonder tree, and there I left
her.” There was a simultaneous rush to the tree—
und there, to their great joy, they found the wo
man safe nud still ou her knees iu prayer. Think
ing D ot ol hersejf, she received the applause with
cut manifesting auy other feeling than gratitude to
Heaven for iheir great deliveranoe.—Mrs. Ellets
