of Italy, will strike spy one with astonishment:
Before another century

That time will give a mighty race,
And everything that’e grand.
Aye, wendererß from every clime .
Will sail across the sea
To hi eatue the air republican,
And rank among the free.
» And such will be the genius
Of these residing there,
The news wiil fly with lightning spesd,
And through tbe very air.
Kew pride and avarioe will grow,
Then demons will come forth
■ .. ,To make the South inflict a wound
By striking at the North.

Cotton and Character. ]
Mot people across the Atlantic are slow.
Thet l aglisli are particularly, so. Let ns give
anesmple: Who that was present can help
bavin: a life-long memory of a certain un
lucln day at Hew York, in December, 1853,
when .ho promises in Cliff street occupied by
Jams Harper & Brothers, the great pub
lishc- , suddenly glared up with the red fire
of a'iighty.cohfiagration, and in a few hours
lay cilmbled on the ground, a smoking mass
of gri- and black ruins ? The moment that
the fit fatality of that fire was ascertained,
the Merer s showed themselves men of ready
tboiiat and instant action. Englishmen,
sitiiald like them, with the fruits of their life
laborand enterprise blasted in one sad hour,
woulJhave wrung their hands In despair, and
have jmost wept, inactively, over the wreck and
ruin ffore them. ' The American sufferers be
br
javed very differently. They instantly esta
blish! themselves in a: small office near their :

gain So time was lost in rearing that magni
ieenisecond publishing premises in Franklin
Squat, where Messrs. Harper do a greater
tradethaii any other house in New York. The
enerar of the American character—we might
evensay its elasticity —was strongly exhibited
in itlfs ease. On the other hand, here is a
; pafai|l case, whh far different results. The
greatlr part of the hook-publishing business of
LondW is transacted in a narrowlane called Pa
sr Nbster Itow, close to'St. Paul’s Ca’hedral.
>me eighteen months ago a great fire took
ace in that crowded and narrow lane, de,
royi ig the premises of the Longsiass and
:her leading publishers. To this day, the
fly <ae of these houses which has been re
ailti s that of Loxgman and Company; and
lists not likely at present to be completed
ithii the present year. Of the other pra
ises ;he debris remain, precisely as they wore
fit w the conflagration, eighteen months
ago. The American is ready, enterprising,
hopejil; the English is stagnant, slow, despair
ing. With us, the mischief done, we hasten
to inaid’the best of it—to rise superior to
the Misfortune; but John Bull first wrings
his hpds in despair, then folds them in
apathy, and finally, after many moans and
great delay, proceeds to do what an Ameri
can would have done at once, as the Harpers
did, . :
This difference in the national character has
been - exemplified, curiously and fully, in the
present'diificulty about the scarcity of cotton,
which has driven Lancashire, with some four
million of inhabitants, into idleness, scanty
wages, discontent,- starvation; and general
ruin. Lancashire, tip to the timebf Secession,
derived five-sixths of its supply of raw cotton
from the United States. That supply has
been cut ofF,sand the! manufacture bf cotton
goods in England now depends upon cotton,
of an inferior -quality; grown in ' Egypt, India,
and a few other places. Not only is this a
mere sixth of 'the required quantity, but it is
deficient in staple, and therefore unfit for the
production of finer goods. The British manu
facturers who/ largely subscribe io anti
slavery associations, yet manifest the liveli
est sympathy with the pro-slavery South,
acknowledge that, for the last thirty years,
been expecting a political crisis which
would separate the- Southern from; the
Northern States. They knew that this disso
lution of the Union could hot take place with
out a great and . prolonged war. They also
knew that, during such a contest, the supply
of cotton from the South must be diminished,
if not wholly suppressed fur the time. Yet,
with all this consciousness,
its importers; manufacturers, nor rulers—
take a single step to render the'eotton trade
independent of the Southern States of Ame
rica. Even now, though this war has lasted a
year and a half, they sit with folded hands and I
gloomy faces, ■ and sad hearts, actually doing
nothing to supply the cotton-deficiency which
has pauperized a whole province of their
Kingdom. Their utmost energy is to write
newspaper articles abusing the North, and
sending/'petitions, to Paumkkston that he
! would, acknowledge the independence of the.
South. When, to use a vulgar hut expressive
phrase—when John Bull is “down on his luck,”
he is but half a man. But it Is then, especially,
that Jonathan exhibits presence of mind, enter- (
prise, readiness of clearness of mental
faculties—in a word, that he emphatically
“ goes a-head.” Assuredly, had the cases
been reversed—had the cotton-scarcity oc
curred in this country, we should at once have
taken measures for growing cotton in “ green
fields and pastures new,” and have also ap
plied ourselves to discover and employ prac
ticable substitutes for cotton.
Palmerston’s own newspaper, the Morning
Post, which duly chronicles the slightest
movements of the British aristocracy, lately
condescended to recommend, in lien of cot
ton, a woed growing in great abundance in
England, variously called cudweed and dwarf
cotton, hut botanically known as graphalinm,
or coton arm. It recommends that the roots
of true' cotton be grafted on those of this
wee d. It would he more easy, as well as loss
troublesome, to grow the cotton itself, in
suitable places. That, however, would be
sensible and practical, 1 SO-John Bull, of whom
Wilkins Micawher may he taken as the type,
will -’wait'-until something turns up. Yes,
wait, even though this something may be a
social Insurrection of the starving millions in
Lancashire.
There are two substitutes for cotton which
W 6 Americans would certainly and speedily
use, if we had the cotton famine which
afflicts England. They were used, from the
i very commencement of civilization, and atp
flax and moot. ■'’!
In the Old'World, flax is grown largely in
Russia, Flanders, Germany, Egypt, and, (tho
better quality,-;) ih Ireland. Independent of
the Irish supply, over 12 million cwt 3. of flax
are-annually/imported into England. - By M.
OtAUSSEx’e process the difficulty of separating
the flax from the woody-fibre of tlie plant has
jafereen almost- wholly removed. -Flax-cotton
can be carded, and can also he spun by the
spindle, and easily woven by machinery. It
is especially adapted for the manufacture, of
linen, hosiery, lace, thread, insertion; and
tamboured articles, and wears much, better
than cotton. It is cultivated at little trouble,
and without much expense, and freely grows
on damp ground, where cereal crops would
rot. The best Irish flax is grown on what re-,
ecntly was bog-ground.
Wool is the oldest, and would seem the most
natural, of all the manufactured articles, used
by. man for clothing.- Since King Cotton came
into power, the finer wool-weaving has de
clined—the infcrior'arlicle costing less, though
it wears badly. Wool is produced in most
climates, and the supply from Australia, in
cluding the alpaca variety, may he called ex
haustions! Wool can be woven into numerous
articles of wearing apparel, from the coarsest
frieze to the delicately fine inner garment with
which maternal affection tenderly encircles,
the fragile limbs of infancy. What isi more to
the purpose, fine wool can be manufactured in
the power looms of Lancashire. Yes, buf this
■would cause John Bull to deviate from his old
! routine, so it will not he dene—just npw.
Americans would soon have substituted flax
and wool, in the dearth of cotton, but John
Bull is thinking that ho may one day think; of
it; and - hereby the difference between- the
; American and the British character is very
fairly illustrated; Q. E. D., as the mathema
ticians say, when they have a problem of
-Euclid.
FROM THE UPPER POTOMiC;
The Strategy of Sens. McClellan and Lee.
A RACE FOR RICHMOND EXFECTED.
The correspondent of the New York Tribune writes
the following interesting tetters, explaining the situation
on the Upper Potomac, and the probable intentions of
Generals Lee and McOtellan:
Pleasant Yali-by, Md., Tuesday Evening, October
28, 1862.—1 t has been well known for weeks that the
main force of the enemy has been at Winchester ewer
since the retreat from Maryland ; that his centre was
intrenched at Winchester, his extreme right rested on the
Bhenandoah, at Berry’s Ford, and hia left at Banker
Bill.
On She boundary of this nearly equilateral, triangle,
whose Bid es are about 10 tnileß in lengSb,the rebel army was
skilfully posted, with ell the advantageous points forti
fied. Winchester being the base of operations, it w»b ne
cessary to keep open a line cf communication from that
position through the mountain gaps to Bichmond. De
serters and intelligent contrabands have informed us that
along this line of communication, which, in the event of
a defeat, would become the Use of retreat, depots of sup.
plies have been t stahiished.
To these depots all the grain and provisions from the
lower endof the valley have been sent In falling back
the enemy wiU thereiore bo marching toward hts sup
plies, and hence would be the less encumbered with
trains A pursuing arm y could do him but Blight da
mage, and would Boon become exhausted and embar
rassed. ... ■ . .. - ' ~, :
To move against the enemy thU3 posted, and thus pro ■
vifled against disaster, two main routes offered. One
against his front and left flank, from Harper's Ferry
and hhepheidstown, through Charlestown and Martfns
burg. This route insured the defence of the Upper Fo
tomec, and forced the oLemy at once to fight or to eva
cuate Winclester.
If be stood and gave battle, which would liars bsen
qtdto probable, Mb line of retreat was open and safe, and
Rgaig tli@ rebel array would. bare escaped fromMcOlel
l&n'e gi&jp. if the enemy chose to evacuate, or even to
retreat after a fight,by passing through Ashby’s Gap,
he would he able to concentrate his entire army of Vir
ginia at Manassaß Junction, and to fall with his whole
force upon Sis* 1, whom McClellan, with heavy trains
moving on a slow and cautious march, would be wholly
nr able to succor, and a second Bull Bun, with a Pat
terson failure to match, would be the result.
if he enemy, moreover, would all; this while he between
11,0 notioni.l army and Richmond, and could,:; therefore,
employ his enlirß force We would b: compelled to re
tain a large force for the defence of our capi tal. By this
rente, the advantages of position were mainly with .ho
enemy. Bis calculations had evidently = been baled on
Ench a movement. How General Bee.has been, disap
pointed and entangled in his own snares will; soon ap
pear, ,
Iho other and more strategic route ließ through the
Lectburg road, againstthe enemy ’slight flank at Berry’s
ford. . ■- ■
Harper’s Berry being well garrisoned with a small body
of troops, ccmmanded by loyal offisors, could bo held
egalnst any force the enemy might send against it. A
fee troops posted at the fords below and above Shep
bentstowE, and at 'Williamsport, would. dispute any at
tempt to cross at these points.
, Hearty the entire Army of the Potomac could thus he
made available In a movement against the enemy at Win
chester. Inasmuch; also, as an advance by the Leesburg
route wouid in itself protect Wa-hington, the whole of
the army commanded by B inks would be ablo to coopo
rate with the Army of the Potomac. ■
It is not at all probable that the enemy would await
thß attack of our combined armies, but finding hisfear
threatened, he -would retreat with all psssibe speed
towards Richmond, passing through Gordonsville. By
refer on ce to a map of Tirginia, it will be seen at a glance
how immensely in our favor would be tho advantage in
euch a race to Richmond. Being on the inside of the
arc of a circle, and moving over the ahorter lines, the
Rational army would constantly head off and extend
back along the entire left flank of the enemy, making it
utterly impossible for him to reach and defend his
capital.
If, however, in some foolish freak of military revelry,
General Lee should determine to give battle at Berry’s
: Ford or at Winchester, defeat and disaster would be the
- reward of his folly.
The Rational army,-passing through Batcher's and
Ashby's Gaps, would flank the enemy’s get be
tween him and his supplies, and drive his whole army
into the mountains or to the Potomac, which'lie could
not possibly cross, if vigorously pursued.
Lee is quite too shrewd a commander to allow himself
to bo thus disadvantageous!? placed; he will not, there
fore, he likely to fight at Winchester against a force ad
vancing through the Gopb from Leesburg. Ho battle
need, therefore, bo looked for in the immediate future,
but a tough asd an excitingrace for Richmond, with,
perhaps, abaitle at Front Royal or Manassas Gap ; or
• if, as reported, it is true that the enemy has already
evacuated Winchester, he may not be intercepted this
side of Gordonsville.
. The Army of the Potomac, now in motion, is moving on
thiß route, so pregnant with advantages to our cause. It
is behaved another opportunity will hot be let slip, but
that every advantage will be seized upon, and every op
portunity improved, and, if at all possible, the enemy’s
army defeated and his oapttal occupied •
. All things are now reody. and before the bihags of
winter’s frosts are felt, the nation may have occasion to
rejoice over the success of her arms and the rebellion
crushed out af Virginia. J. B. S.

INDIGNATION AGAINST THE FEDEBAL BLOCKADE.
[From the Bermuda Boyal Gazette, Oct. 14 ]
Since tart Tuesday we have bnt little to record ot the
blockading eauadron. The Tioga and Sonoma have been
off and on lie islands maintaining a most'vigilant goard
on all abipß enterlng and leaving those ports. On Thurs
day a large beat polled into St. George's fremthe Sonoma
in the most cool manner, and haying performed her mis
aion, whatever that may be, palled out again. A atop,
we understand,.has been pnt to this.
The Alert was boarded on Frtday, the James hailed
on Sunday, end the Gladiator brought to laee Taeaday..
On’ Sunday the Tioga was off the Olnb Out, and the
Sonoma off the East £i.d; Our people are beginning to
, fiol annoyed at the strictness of the blockade, and it is
only natural, as all Britishers have a horror of the un
derhand. Cannot a reference be made to the highest
powers that he, that at any rate the Ifgality of these ex
treme measures on the part of the Yankees maybe at
once looked into?
We are informed that the man that was acting as pilot
to ibe American gunboats has returned to theahore.
We are aIEO Informed that some rookota have been
landed from one of the Yankee gunboats, to be fired off
at night, when any of the steamerß in port should at
tempt to go to sea.
Ber Majesty's gun-vestei "Plover, Commander Hon A.

Plover went with despatches from the Governor to. the
American gunboats off the ißland on Friday last, and 16-
tnrncd to port next day.

tbeir coast, lam at a loss to determine. The perform
ances in ibis way. almost under onr very guns, for the
last fortnight, seem more like a menace, or a studied in
sult, when we consider the man who was sent in com
mand (on this service. Is it not rather queer that the
Gladißtor, an English ship from .an English colony,
bound to England, should have been stopped, and that,
too, in the presence of a British man-of-war 1 [Shades
of Kelson!]
The mail steamer Merlin was alßo brought to by a gun,
when nearly up to the land. It would be vain for the
Yankee commander to attempt the plea that he did not
kr ow them, when one lay in St. George’s while the ships
were there and in the very frequent intercourse with the
Yankee censul sinco leaving that port he must have been
informed of ibe probable time of arrival of the other. If
such acts be not meant as insult, they most be in mere
bravado, and wiil in due time, ao doubt, have to be ac
counted for. , '
The “rare” Admiraltimed hisvialtvery well to avoid
finding men-of-war here, and, judging from his antece
dents, he will not return until he thinka our coast again
dear; but to be forewarned is to be forearmed. A man
may stop an unermed packet or burn an empty to

Galveston. October 4—3 P. M -—At forty minutes past
seven o’clock P. M., before the flag-of-truce boat got to
the fleet, five steamers slatted in off the bar, with flags of
truce flying at their mastheadß. As they, approached
Fort Point, our batteries opened on them, and 1 they re
turned it. ■ , . , „
The second shot from the steamer struck our gun at the
Point, and the third shot ditmounted it. Onr troops de
stroyed all the workß. The steamer came into the ’ bay
and onr batteries at Kuhn’s wharf opened on them;
but all the shot fell short. . ..
The troops immediately commenced evacuating the
City, end the city presented a scene of utter confusion;
and as I write, the depot is toll of people, trying to get
away . The Federate notified us they would give rs time
to: move the women and children, if we erected no more

October 12, 1862
General ObberNo.47.— The.battle of Chaplin. Hill,
fonght near Perry vlfie, on the Bth inst.. will stand con
spicuous for itß severity in the history of the rebellion.
It deserves to be commemorated for the determined valor
displayed by the portion of the army that was engaged.
The principal force, of, the enemy, on cbosan ground,
. under General Bragg, attacked onr left wing as it was
; moving into poaition.after a fatiguing march The sud
denness and strength of the .attack, and the fall of two
of tbeir gallant leaders, Jackson and Terrifl, caused some
of .the now troops of the' 10th Division*' to fall into dis
order. and threw the weight of the battle mainly on the
3d Division. This was subsequently reinforced by two
brigades from the centre corps, which Itselt had met with
considerable opposition in. moving into position. The
enemy was repulsed with heavy Jobs ; and when^ the army ■
advanced to the attack, at 6 o’clock the following morn
ing, the enemy was found"to hsve retreated during the
night, ' -’-' f ; : - *
; The good conduct exhibited by the. troops ou this field
only realized that which the General has always confi
dently expected from them Fortuitous circumstanoes,
which so often affect the incidents of war, screened the
enemy from a combined effort of the different corps till
night intervened to prevent his defeat and our accom
plishing the destruction of his army ; but the thanks of
the General are nojJ the leas due to the gallant officers
and men under, his'eommand, in the hattle.and on the.
march. The old troops have given the highest proofs of
discipline and courage,' and the new troops already vie
with them. Let them preserve order, remembering that
lawlessness in an aimyisbothdlsgracetol andfatal.S The
sacredness and dignity of- the cause for which they are
battling demand nothing less. The nation wlll mourn
the less ofthe heroes who fell at Ohaplln Hill. It will
honor those wlio toove worthy to fill their places

A Curious Kevelation of .the War.
The Doctrine of Secession In 1790—An Auto

A Flea for Dissolving the Union,
The following letter, written by K. B. Lee, grandfather
of the present commander-in.chief of the rebel army,waa
found in the dwelling house of General Stuart, io Vir
ginia, end has been placed in our possession for publica
tion. It is one of She moßl curious epistolary production#
broughtto light by the war, and furnishes a clear insight
into the origin of the rebellion: .
New Yobk, April 5,1799.
My Pear Sib : 1 am jußt favored with your very ac
ceptable letter of the 29th nit ~
As to Mr. Madison’s plan, you do not scornfully ts have ,
understood it. It would not have diuiimsaefl the amount
of the debt, and therefore would not have rendered the
bnrbensless. The public would not havo gained a fanhing
by the operation, but be intended that justica should ba
done to even cliibb of the"citizens, to she fnli extent of
the abilities of the country. He conceived-the original
.-holders, as well 8b the present possessors of the debt of
the United States, entitled to solve consideration; and as
it wbb evidently impossible to discharge the obligations
wbich-the public wire finder to both, the dictates of jus
tice required that there should be a composition of their
claims, and every possible justice done. I conceive, the
equity of his doctrine incontrovertible; and I saw no ob
jection to his plan bnt the difficulty of the execution—add <
the danger of the precedent. Such a precedent might be
used as a pretext to justify a measure difsimiSar to all jtg
hading points, at a future day, I felt myself, as yon
iavedoDO. very much irritated at tho indelicate treatment .
which he received. . Some seemed to express, by their
conduct, a joy, that they had it in their power to depress
his importance (as they thought), which rendered ItstiH
more necessary for the friends of virtue, and of th#
. Southern interests, to maintain and Bupnort him- Tho .
iebatea on this question will better explain to you hi#
conduct -•
As to the memorials from the Quakers and others rsla- ...
five to the slave trade, their inboduefion, from the man-' ‘
ner in which the subject was treated, became imports- ;
hate. Tho gentlemen from South Carolina and Georgtal
by anticipating what was never intended, have been in
strumental in sounding disagreeable ; alarms. If they --
bad said nothing, the House of Bepresentatives, without
a doubt, would have declared with one voice that Con
gress bad so power to interfere in any manner eo as to ,
affect or . Her the internal regulations of the States rela
tive to them.
Tie authors of the petitions were influenced by an
honesti ftidugh indiscteßt, zeal on the occasion. They
expressly declared that their object was not io injure th# '
property of the Southern States, but to discontinue ,
the slave trade, which they deemed cruel and dishonora
> ble. ...
By the unfounded apprehensions of i7it gentleman t
from, Carolina 07,d Georgia, all the. alarms which have -
been spread were caused, I consider the declaration :
which we made in a committee of the whole, however, as
soon as we were permitted to come to a decuion, will not"
only quiet our fears, but put onr slave property on a l
surer fonud atioii than it beforo stood; and an interpre
tatioji of the powers of Congress given at this time, whan’ '
the intoning of the parties to the Constitution roust be
fully understood, may prevent at a future day any im •
proper coercive authority’,™ this subject. I oaunot, '
therefore, bnt flatter myeelf. that the conciueion of this ,
eul jeet will be generally satisfactory to the State of. Vir
ginia, aid that the petitionsyou mention to bain content
platlon io our next Assembly will be found wholly unne-,
ct-Esai-y on this Bnbject.
Ab to the assumption ci the State debt, this qnettton iff
still in suspense, and the firoU determination very uncer
tain. The Eastern Slates would carry their point' at all
hszarde—rather than fail, they would be contented with -
a majority of one vote. Three members from the State .
of Berth Carolina are new on the floor, which renders
the success of their: plans still more uncertain.. From
Hie protect appearance, I ,cannot bale ihinkirg that the.,
assumption will not proceed ; if it Bbouid, it mast wear a'
different countenance than it has at present, and the
most effectual provision be made fora speedy and fair .
settlement of all accccniß I have no doubt negotiations"'
have been commenced, and are y et existing, between the:
Eastern States and Pennsylvania relative to tbo perma
nenteeat of government: the Pennsylvanians endeavor-*
ing to make the establishment of the seat of government
tbe price cf she assumption. But in this baslness New
York is as necessary to carry.the point at Pennsylvania,
and it is not probsble that she will be induced to yield
up the fcd vantage which shs now has over ber commercial
rival- 1 have, therefore, no fears that this negotiation
will be productive of an establishment in Pennsylvania.
As to the Petomack. I consider our prospects as very re
mote if the Government lasts-so long, it may erect it#
capital on its banks, at tbe expiration of twenty years:
I coDiess that I feel myself oftsn chagrined by the
taunts agoinst the ancient Dominion, but Disunion AV
this time would be the worst of calamities, jibe
Southern States are foo weak at present to stand by
themselves, and a General Government will certainly ba
advantageous to ur, as it produces no other offset than
protection from hostilities and uniform commercial regu
lations. And when we shall attain our natural degree oC
population I flatter rhyself that roe shall have the
povier to do ourselves justice, with dissolving'the bonX
which binds us together. It iabetter to put up with
these little inconveniences than to run tbe bastard oC
j greater calamities. Adieu. K. B. LEE.’

The Indian War Ended,
If the report we publish from the Mankato Inde
pendent be reliable, the Indian war is over in Minnesota,
and the red-skins are far esongh away from the vicinity
ot the settlement, to Eetat rest all fears lest they re
turn again. Their punishment will come later and sure
enough in the future relations of the Federal Government
with these, the weakest and most venial tnols of Secessta.
Maniff stly this will release Gen. Pore and the larger thara
'of his troops'to a field which he and they will Uke better,
and where they can do the country more service. A few
mounted companies will be all that is necessary to secure
peace and safety to the borders, and these Minnesota her
self will be glad to furnish. Let there be no waste of
time in recalling the bulk of Gen- Bono’s army to more
important duties than Idly garrisoning frontier forts.

THE BkBKL GENERAL TAH DOES.—General
Van Dorn w.a once a great favorite in our army, and the
Nashville Union has been told by one of Ms former
companions in ar ms that he was regarded as one of the
meet accomplished and bravo of the rebel officers. . He
become a miserably debased creatnre, hsving degraded
himself socially years before he became a traitor. While
in the United States service he deserted his young wife,
a lovely and accomplished Mississippi girl, and took up
with a vulgar, ignorant woman from the lowest walks of
life. Ho had formerly been a popular man, but when
this eventeccurrefl, his brother officers end former asso
ciates forscok him entirely, and refused to recognize
him any further. He sank lower aud lower, until he
reached the bottom of moral degradation by joining tha
rebellion, and be died by the hands of a feilow-trßUor
