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.

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 blind In European markets, which stock, on the 1st of Jam vary. 18(57. tho close of the 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.
