TiieNkw Orlkan’3 Cotton Petition.—Sonae I time since :: petition was sent to the President | from Hew Orleans, representing tnat it was | impossible to distinguish Confelerato from | other cotton ; and that the attempt to en i force the lights ot the Government under the ; ..I. c iflon act wa3 causing much mischievous delay, taxation and loss to the legitimate ccm int-rce. Ihe petition prays, therefore, for the : abandon men t of this policy, and that ail cot on be admitted, subject to a tax ot 10 to 20 ; i -rcenf., a sum as shall be deemed sufficient to ! cever the claims of tho Government. b-me fiuy or sixty of tbe oldest cotton sac- I to y houses of New Orleans, have just sent the I Pr- -:id--.it a memorial, which states that no such difficulty exists; that confiscated cotton may er. rilybe told Irom that owned by private dealers, and they protest against the scheme | proposed as a continuance for the benefit ot irregular speculations. Ihe tactoiies Lave | large claim •: on planters for advances made be fore the war. It Is supposed the speculators i sometimes get hold o£cotton belonging to the former, and they naturally desire to drive the !.vw commiseion off, and it is also suggested IL . they may claim ownership under the laws A Louisiana, and even a3 against the United it-confiscation act. Tin: Alabama Wab Debt. —The Alabam C. nv. ntiou has repudiated Ilia war debt in toto.

Tine Comp l : and Treasury Notes Counterfeit —Tii Secretary of the Treasury has just issued the to (o.viog ehcular : Treasury Pi pahtment, j Sept. 21, 18(15. J Tip'- instructions contained iu tho citcular of Iho Department dated September 16th, relative to iho counterfeit SIOO compound interest notes, Assistant Treasurers and designated depositories not to pay out SIOO compound interest notes, nor other denomina tions of compand interest notes, bearing the date of May 15, 1805, or prior to that time, were intended to apply to the notes held by ueh Assistant Treasurers aud depositories as Government tunds, and were not designed to direct the action of banks or individuals relative to au h compound interest rotes held on their own account. The difficulty and expense of at once with drawing from circulation or exchanging for other notes all compound interest notes of the character described now ia circulation, make the attempt inadvisable. Ike department will, however, withdraw from circulation the SIOO compound interest notes ns fast as they mav be received in the ordinary course of business aud re-issue more of the same im pression, and it is hoped that by due care and a ition after the immediate exposure of the dangerous character of the counterfeit, any con idevabio circulation of them may be pre vented. Assistant Treasurers and depositories will, therefore, forward to the Treasurer of <he United. States such compound interest notes as are of the deuomiuation of SIOO, , r ,a all compound interest notes which are ll ded May Ibdi, 1835, or prior thereto, the same being held as lands of the Government, and not otherwise. H. McCulloch, Secretary of the Tnasury. President Johnson's Teech to tee South ern Delegation .—The Albany Journal ccm mrafs thus on the speech : ’Puis s peech which we published, breathes the spirit ot fraternal conciliation. It cannot fail to have a most salutary influence upon the p t!o pie of the South. It must be received as conclusive of the settled purpose cf the Admin is'ration to temper justice with motcy. and to. cvreiso the utmost kindness and forbearance towards all who shall manifest.* the J -•politest disposition to return to their | a!finance. None but the most criminal- | iy rb lut .te can icsist the kindly aLd afiec tfonato appeal of tho President, or withhold their a- twoval of the trank and reasonable tests " allc dance which he enunciates. Nothing j less could be demanded ; and those who shall Teiuse to respond to the magnanimous appeal, will deserve the execiattens of tho people of | the South and the severest punishment urovid ed lor persistent treason against the Govern | ment. The spirit recently evinced by tho mass ot the Southern ueople, justify the hope of an ultimate, and speedy, and hearty acquiescence ia the wise aud traternal policy of the Aumin istration. Tho indications are all auspicious; and we believe, that, much sooner than the most sanguine have hoped for, perfect har mony and a most cordial submission to the Constitution, laws aud ordinances of tho Gov i eremeat. will be developed throughout all • our Southern border#, AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 4, 1865. Savannah ane New Yoek —The Atlantic Coast Mail Steamship Company have made ar rangement* for a semi-weekly lino between Savannah and New York. Besides tho boats now running they will put on tbe‘•Nightingale’’ and the “Raleigh”—the latter a superb-r sbde wheel steamer The proprietors ot this line, Messrs. Livingston, Fox A Cos. of New York, are determined to do all in their power to make it worthy of the patronage of the public. In this good work and worthy enterprise their gentlemanly agent at Savannah, J. R. Wilder, Esq., does all he can to assist. Those going to New York will find this line as represented. The British Cotton Trade.- -The London Times of Sept. 3, in speaking or the British cotton trade remarks thus : Our imports have now reached nearly nine hundred million hundred weights, or nearly three-quarters of what they were at the climax of the cotton trade iu 18*10 ; our exports ar > only six millions short of tbe amount in that famous year. But if the gross amount of the trade is recovering Ps former condition, noth ing can be more remarkable than the revolu tion which has taken place in its course. In 1860 the United States sent ns the enor mous sum of one thousand one hundred and fifteen million hundred weights of cotton, out of a total of one thousand three hundred and nineiy millions. In 1854, cut of a total cf eight hundred and ninety-three millions, tho United States sent us only fourteen millions ; and India, which sent us in 1860 only two hue-, dred millions, sent us last year five hundred and six millions, India, in fact, is now the principal source of the cotton supply, andoccu pies a place a little inferior in proportion to that which was formerly occupied by the Uni ted States. Other countries, however, display the intluerce of ihe same stimulus. An increaso iu the value of our imports from Egypt of from sixteen to nineteen millions ster ling is due almost entirely to an increase in the. cultivation of cotton. China has added 153,000 hundred weights, or more than three millions in value, to the amount of her impor tation, and though the amount received from Japan is small, it has increased in the enor mous ratio of 1,200 per cent. The high price of cotton has attracted from many countries the re-exportation to our shores of the stocks they had imported for themselves, find this plant, which was thought so difficult to raise and so < clicate that we could not endure the failure of our American supply, now comes to us probably from more parts of the world than any other article of commeicj. The J lw3 in Russia —Great improvement has been made in the position of the Jews us Russia. A decision.of the Council of the Em pire, sanctioned by the Emperor, and promul gated by a ukase of the Senate dated 28lh ultimo, authorizes the Jews engaged in icdus trial occupations to circulate aud to establish themselves in any part of tho Russian Empire. This ukase givos to a great part of the Jews the right to leave the localities in which they wore previously limited in the western prov inces of Russia. This measure will contribute to the development of material interests, and to a reduction in the prime cost of' manufac tured goods. To settle in their new abodes the Jews must first obtain a permission of res idence ; they w 11 have the faculty oi belong ing definitely to the commune of their choice; but (hey will not be allowed to form com munes composed .entirely of Jews, like those at present existing in the western provinces. By the offset of this interdiction they will lose their distinct nationality, and will thus he blended with the Russian populations. The Government had to decide between sys tems. It cCl'ld accord the right of circula tion am] of settling Sri all pu ts of the territo ry, either to ali the Jews, or to a certain num ber of them. It fehoso to adopt the Ik* f er plan. Only the Jews engaged in sogie manu facturing trade can profit by the new decision > oirents, money changers, aud retiil traders have no ehaio iu its benefits. But, as the journal, “The Voice,’’observes, it is proba ble that the last named classes, when delivered from the rivalry ol their manufacturing breth ren, will become artisans and manufacturers, for the express purpose of obtaining he right of free circulation and choice ol residence The number of Jews residing in towns and villages of tho western provinces i? esEmitod at 1,500,000 souls. This injurious agglomer ation of poisons engaged in similar occupations will socn cease, and the commercial forces of the empire will be henceforth disseminated ia a manner more favorable to tho general wel fare. The Jews in a position to profit by tho new' ukase will be allowed to take with them their unmarried sisters, and their brothers who are still minors. They will consequently car ry with them tho elements of wealth and ac tivity into the provinces where they may choose to settle.* The emancipation of the Jews will thus be gradually realized. Salaries in England. —While the President of the United States is paid $25,000 a year, to which is added a residence placed on a not very healthy site, Queen Victoda’s'aumiul al lowance, payable ia hard cash, is $1,925,000, to which must be added $125,000 from the surplus Revenue of tho Duchy of Lancaster.
