It is a singular fact that the Southern Disooioniets ana the North era Abolitionist are both struggling to ac coo.plish the lame object. Toombs, Rbett, Vanoey, and otber disonionisti, say there is oo safety for tbe institution of slavery bot actual and final secession from tbe Northern State. Tbi is precisely tbe doctrine advo. cated by tba Abolitionist of the Garrison school, wbo denounce tbe Constitution ol this glorious Union as "a covenant with death and a leagoa with bell." None rejoice more at the secession movements of tbe Soutb tbao Wendell Phillips, Garrison, and otber of that class. Wendell Phillips, a few days since, declared io a public speech at Boston, that "Disunion was Abolitiouism,"and would accomplish what they desired. E7" Gkn. Cameron and tub Cabinet. It is now pretty well settled tbat Genera) Cameron will ba one of the Cabinet of Mr. Lincoln's Administration. Tbe position as signed him will be Secretary of the Treasury. Tba conservative portico of the Republicans are almost unanimous in favor of bis appoint ment. There are few men in Pennsylvania as wall qualified for tb'; position, and Done whose appointment would ive mora general satisfaction to the people of all parties. It is emphatically a Pennsylvania appointment, aud President Lincoln conld not well over, look the leader of this cflice to Gen. Cameron if be were ever inclined to do so, wbicb is oot the case. Tbat tbi appointment doe pot meet wilb the approbation of the New 'York Tribune, and a few disappointed politicians in this (stale, will bave but little weight with the President elect. eiS Latest News.

Cameron made a con versational speech, io wbicb be referred to tbe secession movements, and to the deplora ble condition of the country. He said I I am one of those wbo supported tbe electioo, and mean to sustain tbe adminislra- tioo of Mr. Lincoln, cordially and faithfully upon tbe principles laid down in tbe Chicago platform. But 1 atn willing to make any reasonable concession, not involving a vital principle to save this great country from anarchy and bloodshed, and to preserve the proud posiliou.whicb it occupies bcrore tbe world. It is oot necessary to take a step backwards in supporting tbe resolutions of Mr. Crittenden, which seem to meet tbe lull approbation of the people of tbis city, if it be amended so as nut to extend to territory hereafter to be acquired, and not to remove from it tbe feature which proposes to mcor purate into the Constitution the doctrine of the tired bcott decision. 1 prefer to leave tbe Constitution on that subject as made by our fathers, nntil reason shall have again assumed bar proper fcway over tbe public mind, in otber words lam ready and williug that tbe Missouri coin pro mise shall be restored. Tbe repeat of that measure led to tbe organization of the Re publican party. Upon that question it gained its strength and secured its victory. If now our Uniou loving brethren of the Slave lior der fctutes shall be willing to nnite witb us in its restoration, and accept tbat as the basis of settlement of existing difficulties, wby snould we nesilale thus to meet tiietn T These sentimeats I took occasion to ex press a few days since, in my place in tbe Senate of tbe Coded States, in doing so 1 did not mean to endorse all tbe sentiments expressed by my colleague ( M r. Biglor, but only meant cordially to express my opprouatioo or tbe spirit and seulitnem in favor oi tbe Union wbicb he expressed. I did, however, express my willingness lo support and vote for his proposition, if tbat would satisfy tbe voilenl men of tbe bomb, aud bring them buck to tbeir doty. His proposition is simply to submit tbe Crittenden amendments to a vote or tbe people for tbeir adoption or rejection. As a last resort, when Congress shell prove itself incompetent to adjust existing difficulties end when tbe disruption of the Union into two Confederacies shall become inevitable, 1 shall bold it to be my dutylo join in an appeal to tbe people to tuke the mutter into tbeir own bands, aud determine in tbeir own way, as they may deem best. For a life time 1 have never yet seen pub lic opinion wroag, lormed after duo delibera tion and reflection. This is a Government, not of States, but or the people of tbe States and they will oot suffer this glorious Confed eracy to be destroyed at the dictations ol selbsb agitator wbo may be governed by personal ambition. Failing in all efforts, either in Congress or by action oo tba part of tbe people themselves, to restore concord and harmony, and civil suite must come opoo os, I shall be found among the sons of Penn sylvania, in defeuco of her soil, ber principles and ber interests. 1ST Lackawanna & Bloomsi'.irg 11. 11.

It is well known that England and France, bave been Baking extraordinary eiTorts to relieve themselves from their dependency on the United States for the supply of Cotton. That they bave. In a measure succeeded, is evident from the fact that one-third of their supply now come from other quarters. Tbat the war with China had much to do with this matter, we always believed. That country now produces much more of that staple than we do, and wsuld be able to supply England and France, aa will be seen by the fol lowing correspondence of the New York Times i "Tbe far-seeing Emperor of Franca only availed himself of Chinese outrage opon a French missionary as a pretext fur obtaining Coolie labor for tbe cultivation of cotton iu Algeria, that France may obtain her supplies thence, and be independent in tbat particular of tbe reBt of tbe world. Travelers io Cbioa inform us tbat tho valley of the Yaug-lse-Kiang is twice as large as tbe valley of tbe Mississippi, and that it is wholly a cotton belt. This great valley is cultivated by irri gation, and yields a crop of cereals besides a crop of cotton, oo tbe same soil, during each year, without exhaustien of tbe land, which is fertilized by the water that is Bowed upon it from lime to time. Jn view of this fuct, John Mitchel's statement tbat tbe cotton crop ol Cbiua is six times as large as that of all our Southern ftlutes IB not so surprising. It will be remeiuber-jd tbut live or six years ago, Hon. Humphrey Marshall, then Minis ter tu China, reported ollicially to 'the Slate Department tbut tbe cotton crop of tbe vol ley of the Yaog-lsu alone exceeded tbe en tire cotton crop of tho United States. The reader will bear io mind that this crop was raised upon only a portion of the district named. It is estimated tbat tbe Yana-tse Valley is capable ol producing ten times the amouut of cottou produced iu tbe American Slates: wkile it is notorions that Chinese labor ul home is the cheapest in the world for the laborers, wbo are coolent wilb earn ing a bare subsistence, live chiefly upon rice, are simple io tbeir babits, aud require tnutth less clothing than is indispensable for our negro bluves. Cbiuese laborers, too, besides being cheap and abundant, are fur more in telligeut thun nogro laborers, require a less expensive system of supervision, and can ac complish nio re work in a given liuie aud do it better. From the population distributed aloug the Valley of the Yang-lse, France cun now obtain precisely tbe description of labo rers she now needs for Algeria. It will eveutually tara out that England bus obtained some concession wbicb give ber an opportunity to trade wilb the interior of Cbiua, oo the Yang-tee River, and we may t-xpucl to see British merchants, at an early day, settled iu the towns all along its naviga ble length. Through their instrumentality Ihe Chinese will be induced to improve llioir system ol coltoti-raisiug, improved agricul tural implements, witb American cotton seed and gins, will speedily be introduced, and iu vunous ways the production of cottou will be eucouraged and stimulated. Tbe important facts and suggestions above noted, seem to iudicate tbat Culten is not much lunger tube "King," at least so far as France and England ore concerned." S. HOW at.ttait WoltKS The Washington correspondent of the New York Lxpres writes : "A relative of Col. John I'reston, of South Carolina, states tbut in a recent interview with that gentleman, he informed bim that he regarded himself as a bankrupt, end that all his friends in South Carolina were in the same condition, including bis brother in law, Wado Hampton, always regarded as one or tho wealthiest men of the tioulb ; tbat there was no money iu circulation, and no possibili ty of collecting debts' Col. Prestou is a Stale Uigbts man and co-operationist, but be was not altra enough to be elected to the Convention. Ity hit marriage witb the daughter of General Hampton, be is the possessor of a very large estate. If he, and others of equal we.iltb, are suffering for want of money, it may easily be imagined what is the condition of persons of moderate menus." Tbe Wasbingtoo correspondent of the World narrates tbe contents of a private let ter from Soutb Carolina, io which tbe writer says that "persons who, at other times, are well off, are sorely embarrassed for tbe ne cessaries of life for themselves and tbeir de pendents. There is but little money io cir culation, and when our scanty stock of pro visions is gone, where lo get a fresh supply none of us can tell. The premonition of im pending calamity weighs down my spirits and makes my nights wakeful." The writer makes the following suggestion : "I think if the act of magnanimity would not be taken as a taunt, or construed into giving aid and comfort lo the enemy, t would tie a qooit tiling (or the merchants ot Act York to load a vessel with breadstuff's, and sead them to Charleston, to be distributed among the poorer classes, ss no evidence of fraternal affection, wbicb would be revived in full force if South Carolina would give op ber neuatural position." The same evil and troubles are spreading themselves io Cieorgia and Alabama. CP NoRTHaaff Central Railroad Cox rim. In the report of the Comptroller of the Slate of Mary land, is the following item relative to the financial condition of the above named company : "There was received into the treaauiy from this company, during ihe fiscal year, the sum of 3 10,01)0 only or the $911,000 annuity due, in accordance wuh the proviaiom of chapter 2M of the Acta of AaaemMy of 1 H -" 4 . Jn consequence of this default Ihe Comptroller, as required by law, instituted legal proceedinge againat the company, and the eminent legal gentleman appointed hy your Excellency special attorney in this case, in coujunctiun with the State's attorney of Baltimore city, has obtained a judgment againat it, and an injunction restraining the company from applying the receipts ot Ihe road lo any other purpose, except to defray neeeaairy repairs and txpenaes, until ilia claim of the State shall first have been aatisfied. The quarterly payments due from this company have been regularly received up to about eighteen months ago, aud it is lo be hoped that tb load will hereafter be conducted in aurb a manner aa to re-establish its character and relieve its embar rassments." The Philadelphia North American, referring to these difficulties, aays : "The Northern Central Pailroad ia vehement ly attacked by the IJaltimora Kepublican, (Dem.) aa in the interest of Penm ylvania. The work shops have beeu removed from Ualtiiuore into this fetale, and the organization, il ia alleged, will soon also paaa into th bands of Pennsylva nia. Well, seeing tbat tbe greater part of the road lies in this Htale, and that nine-tenths of tbe business u derivtd fram It, this is not very extraordinary. Tba trouble, probably, lie in tba fact that the road wsa built by Pennaylvaniana, while Uattiuiore expects to reap the wbole benefit of it."
