The Tennessee Legislature.—Tho ac
tion of the Tennessee Legislature, in In
structing the Congressional delegation
•from that State to sustain Impeachment
and Confiscation. U not only lll-tlincd but
wrong In Itself; and it can but meet with
unqualified condemnation from every en
lightened Union man In the Southern
States.
It is due that Assembly, however, to saj%
that the delegation from the Eastern por
tion of the State is composed of enlighten
ed ami aide men, and who depricatc the
* ruinous measures of those from the Mid-
• die and Western portions of the State, who
attained position by making pledges to the
negro population, which were alike ruin
ous and unnecessary.
J. W. lIuNXicurr.—'Tim arrest by the
Military authorities, In Virginia, of this
crazy agitator and clerical nuisance, will
meet with the approbation of every right
minded man, not only in that, hut in other
Southern States.
This man Uuiiiilcutt was a resident of
Fredericksburg. Va„ before the war. He has
belonged by turns to nearly every branch
•of the Christian church, but never attained
to a ros|H'cLable position in any. lie has
likewise belonged by turns to nearly every
political party ill National and State poli
tics during the past twenty years, and
never inspired the respect or confidence of
any of them. In the early part of the war.
lie was a. run-mad .Secession Lt ami pro
scriptive pro Slavery man. His ment d
peculiarities have been attributed by his j
old neighbors and those who knew him j
best, to partial insanity, rather than to any j
malevolent spirit.
Thk Cotton Tax.—We yield much of
our spuce tills evening to the interesting
report of Commissioner Welles in regard
*o the Cotton Tax. It cannot fail to Inter-
•oat a large portion of the residing public,
s»nd will be especially interesting to plan
ters and brokers. Mr. Welles volunteers
the opinion that the price of cotton must
continue to decline, in consequence of the
-Ylpld increase of its production in Europe,
sunder the high prices paid for some years
past. India, the principal competitor of
the United States, has. by improvements in
-cultivation in the quality of seeds, im
proved the quality of her cotton until it
•bears the relation of two-thirds to three-
fourth, the value of the American. Instead i lt<» -rt -lurln* tin? past year lias Irani ttnit-

T’he principal competitor to the United
States in tlie production of cotton is India,
and the price of India cotton has been 'Ma
terially advanced during the last five years
through two agencies—first, by improve
ment in machinery for its manufacture
-tiid secondly. In consequence of an im
provement in the quality, due to inereasod
earo and handling, to the use of it* exotic
seed, and to the transferor native seed from
districts which have heretofore yielded the
bc-tstaple to those where the product! »n
lias been Inferior. Ills to tills latter agency
that the recent marked im provement Ir.
India cotton is, perhaps,more especially to
be attributed than to any other. But he
Vjp emwes what theymay.it tnav beaf-
nuined that where India cotton formerly
bore the relation of one-half to two-thirds
the value of American, it now bears tlie
relation of two-thirds to three-quarters,
while a portion of the crop is fully equal
to middling uplands for the manufacture
of heavy fabrics.
Evidence exists tending to show that the
pre-ent tax of two-and-a-half cents per
pound on American cotton is equal to a
premium of at least fifty per cent, upon
the cost of raising cotton in India, and by
gome authorities it is alleged to bo even
greater. The tax. therefore, could with
propriety be Imposed only while the ag
gregate supply of cotton was less than the
demand, and the price consequently fur
above the normal rate. The largest con-
sum ntiou of cotton In Europe in anyone
year was In 1860, when it amounted to
4 321.000 bales, equal to LRi4.700.000 pounds.
Of this aui'iiintthe United States furnished
eighty-five jrer cent., and there can Ire but
little doubt that a surplus of cotton good*
was produced in that year, even with the
stimulus which the low cost of the sta.fie
then prevailing undoubtedly afforded to
consumption.
til the year 1.806 Europe obtained a sup
ply of 4 513,023 bales, averaging302pounds
each, equal to 1,(533.714.320 pounds, of which
less than fortv per cent was from the Uni
ted States, lint t!ii' quantity, although
somewhat less In pounds than the simply
of 18(10. was too * iv «t (or the demand for
onsuuintion .,t the prices ruling,and about
.*500,000 hales wen* added to tlie stock cm

European cotton vear. was as follows: In
Great Britain. o,81.J70 hales; on the contin
ent. 1(50,000 bales: total. 741.570 bales.
If we estimate cotton at 400 (tounds to
the hale (as lias Im*«:ii the custom In the
United State* in the return* of the census),
th* comparative -imply will aiqaair as fol
