"No determination was reached yesurday. Mr. Lincoln Js ftlly sen sible of the .important responsibility wfaiqh rests upon him, and will decide finally with the full knowledge that he is to bear it before thecountry. It is known that after a deliberate investiga tion of all the facts, the Cabinet, with one ex ception, approve, the military judgment of Gen eral Scott, and yield to it as a necessity which cannot be avoided. The almost unanimous concurrence on the part of men who have been supposed to regard this subject from opposite standpoints, and to bold different views of pol icy for its treatment, is sufficient reasons for this conclusion. New a Be- ;racy ;ht to But mon d for Various modes have bien suggested for re enforcing Fort Snmter, but not one of them can stand the scrutiny of scientific military author ity, and all others are unworthy of considera tion. Some emanate from civilians, and others from naval officers of respectable standing.— They propose a demonstration at night through the shallow parts of the entrance to Charleston harbor, sending in the men and supplies by boats. These plans have been discussed for some time in naval circles, hut with a few ex ceptions they have not been regarded as prac ticable, though there are many officers who would cheerfully command such an expedition. If vessels of light draft or gun-boats could run the gauntlet of the extended coast-guard and batteries which line the entrance to both channels, it is questioned if they would’be able to land -re-enforcements under the firs of Fort Moultrie, because they could not escape the vigilance of the lookouts everywhere, and any suspicious fact would be immediately signaled to that and all other points. It is stated upon the host military asthnrity that Major Anderson’s present force could not hold out forty-eight hours in the event of a collision with the batteries now concentrated against him in full’play. The physical endu rance required to wbrk hie heavy guns would bo exhausted in that time. He could, doubt less, destroy Fort Moultrie and sacrifice many hundred lives beside, but would be compelled to surrender from causes beyond hnman con trol. It is easy for those who have no respon sibility to propose plans and to blame others fur not adopting them ; but if an experiment should be tried against the advice of the most experienced soldiers and fail, who would avert the execration which would follow it? Mr. Lincoln will deliberate well before deciding.

DAVID WILMOT, [From the ITarrisTjurg Telegraph, March 15th.] engross known We have the proud satisfaction to-day to an nounce the election of the lion David Wilmot as United States Senator, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Gen’l Cameron. Mr. Wilmot left the Democratic party when it was in the height of its-giory and powerful in patronage, for the purpose of asserting the prin ciples which ho considered juot and right end esseutial for the promotion of the welfare of Pennsylvania. When be left that powerful Democratic party he represented the strongest Democratic Congressional district in this State ; and through.his personal efforts it has now be come the Gibraltar of Republicanism. lie has ever since been surely persecuted by the pro slavery pafty, who have used all dishonorable means to detract from bis persona] character and influence, and in the present canvass he was made the target for their weapons. Wo are therefore rejoiced, not only that David Wilmot is elected a United States Senator, but also that the claims of the noble North have been duly recognized in his election. fficient, in the mid be is soon I could imme- Major •arrison ed, sup )le time. •awal or t feel the They ; avoided, longs to iled this The vote in caucus was a noble vindication of Republican prrinciples. On the joint ballot he received seventy-six votes, whilst Mr. , Ketoham received thirteen, and James H. ; Campbell eight. Mr. Ketcham has many warm friends in the Legislature, and was only per suaded, at their earnest solicitation, to permit his name to be used as a candidate. The nomi nation was, however, generally conceded as due to Mr. W., and hence the result. After the ballot had been taken in caucus Mr. Ketoham remarked that he congratulated the Legislature on the choice that had been made by his fellow members. It wua a proper recognition of worth and merit, and he would therefore move that the Hon. David Wilmot be the unanimous nomi nee of the party; This motion was received with loud applause by the members. Mr. Smith, of Philadelphia, who had been a warm personal friend of Mr. Ketoham, seconded the resolution, and it was adopted, with deafening applause. The hope ef bur friends of the Patriot and Union , who, expressed the earnest desire that the Republicans I would elfot a thorough Penn sylvania, is nowlfuliy realized. David Wilmot, in conjunction with Edgar .4. Cowan, will rep resent the State Iproporly, and we shall have no ■fear of being disgraced on the floor of' the Sen ate, as we Vera when Geo. M.

[From, the Elmira Advertiser, March 161h.j This champion of Freedom was yesterday elected U. S. Senator from Pennsylvania, in the place of Hon. Simon Cameron, Secretary of War. Mr. Wilmot has achieved a world-wide' reputation as the author of the “Wilmot Pro viso,-” and ever since the introduction of that fire-brand into the ranks of the minions of pro slaveryism, he has battled the dough-faced hosts of the “Old Keystone State,” until they have succumbed beneath the strong blows of Freedom. To-day, David Wilmot steps forth as one of 1 the U. S. Senators of Pennsylvania, and takes his seat among the councillors of the nation, and that too on the side of free soil and free speech. Freedom will never fail of an ad yooato as long as David Wilmot has the power of speech. Let the sons »f freedom throughout the land rejoice, and send up three times three for the honored son, of the old “ Keystone State.” ' .- MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS, ...The notorious.

I-bßKiij'tbi* mnmher -by quoting from-IPro- j Jesspr Hpdge jn Appleton’s Cy “In thenew world the manufacture of cotton cloth : appears jto havcheen well. understood by the ■ and' Peruvians, long before the dis covery of their eopntries by Europeans. Cp lumbus found the cotton plant growing wild in Hispaniola, and later explorer's recognized it as the country bordering the Me»cb*ohebc,-cr Mis** sissippi arid its tributaries. Cortes ■op setting out from Trinidad on the Southern coast of Cuba, fof his Mexican expedition, gathered it io abundance to quilt the" jackets of his sol diers as.la protection* after the practice of the natives, [against the Indian arrows; and when on the Mexican coast, among the rich presents • received! by him from Montezuma, were cur tains. coverlets, and robes of ootton f fine as silk, of rich and various dyes, interwoven with feather-Vork, that rivalled the delicacy of painting." Cottofi seed is said to have been first planted, after the settlement of the United States by Europeans, as an experiment in 1621, andsuc ceedsd well, though as a crop by planters, not till the beginning of (he 18th Century. In 1748 it is stated that seven bags of cotton were exported from Charleston and ten bags in 1770; this cotton, however, was supposed to be from the lndies, on the ground that even as late as 1(784 eight bags shipped to England as American produce, were seized at the cotton house on the plea that so much cotton could not be produced in the United States; .and yet seven years after, the crop in the United States was five thousand bales of four hundred pounds each. At the commencement of the revolu tionary war, it is said that one man near Sa vannah had thirty acres in cotton. In 1785 there were fourteen bales exported to England ; sis in 178(3 :—one hundred and nine in 1787 ; 389 in li7BB-p eight hundred and forty two in 1789; aod eighty one in 1790. McCulloch, however, states that no cotton was exported . from the United States previous to 1790 and the Encyclopedia Brittanica states that the the eight bags shipped to England -- was ih 1704. There seems to be some confu sion of dates here, but I am inclined to think McCulloch is in error. Rees’ Cyclopedia states that the United States never exported any cot ton previous to 1787., Levi Woodburv, Secre tary of (the Treasury, in his letter to the House of Representatives dated Feb, 29, 1336, states that United States' exported five bags of cotton in 1785 and six in 178(3, which Smithers in his History of Liverpool says was grown in the United States. Mr. Woodbury in the same letter puts the crop grown in the United States in 1789 at 2,500 bales of 400 lbs. each. Id 1700 the cotton crop of tbo United States was 3,750 bales of 400 lbs. each, the next year 5,000, of which 3,750 were raised in South Carolina, and 1,250 in Georgia; in 1792, 7,500 bales ; jin 1793, 12,500 bale*. 1nT.791 the whole cotton crop of the world was estimated at foiir hundred and ninety mil lions of pounds, of which only two millions were raised in the United States. In 1793 Eli Whitney of Massachusetts invented his cotton gin which has so changed the face of cotton dona. Ills patent is dated Mar. 14, 1794. This invention of Whitney commenced a new era in raising cotton. Its importance may he easily seen, when it is know, that by hand as the cot ton whs formerly cleaned from the adhering seed, one person could clean only about one pound of cotton per day, and that the price of clean cotton in the United States was in 1793 thirty two cents per pound ; that the amount exported during the year, ending June 30,7f559, was 1,885,700,542 lbs. and that to clean this amount by hand fit for market would have ta ken the 3,999,353 slaves, that were held in the United States in June last, three hundred and forty six days, working the whole lot, young and old, male and female. Without the cotton gin, cotton would have been almost a useless crop, and slavery unprofitable, and consequent ly would be now in a rapid process of dying out. “ Well ” I eee at oo£© what your question ig. I don’t feel dispoaedHo answer it. It is a theological question and I refer you to St. Paul. But let me as a true Yankee, ask you a question or two: “ W ould you have crushed out the inven tive genius of Whitney, because he baa * made cotton raising and consequently, slave raising, profitable ? Will not the tares come up with the wheat f and, to vary a little from the Book, will you refuse to sow wheat becdnse you can not get a pure crop ? m Should the great owner of the human plantation stop business because the good and the -evil are mixed J” Some of my friends, I think they were young ladies; they did not propose to exclude cotton, how ever—once asked me, when I was quite a ybnng man, to unite with a society who were pledged to neither eat nor drink anything slave labor. I said emphatically, “No ! that I did not think the sugar, nor tea, nor coffee, nor even the Jamaica rum was to-blame in the matter, and that 1 was willing to take the good things that God sent, even if the devil brought them.”* But to resume. The inventor of the cotton gin was the salvation of cotton growing in the United States. Judge Johnson pf Savannah, in his charge to the jury, in a suit brought to sustain the validity ,of Whitney’s patent says that before this invention •• the whole interior of the. Southern States was languishing, and it* inhabitants emigrating for the want of some object to engage their attention and employ their industry, when the invention of this ma chine at once offered views to them, which set the whole country inactive motion. Individu als who were depressed with poverty and sunk in idleness, have suddenly risen to wealth and respectability. Our debts have been paid off; our capitals have increased, and our lands trebled themselves in value. We cannot ex press the weight of obligation, which tlie whole country owes to this invention.” As soon as Whitney's Qin came into use, the whole face of affairs was'ohanged at the South —emigration ceased and immigration com menced ;, additional acres ware devoted to cot ton raising; 'new lands were brought" under cultivation, and for years there was a steady flow of capital towards the cotton fields of the South. In 1796 the crop had risen to ten roil lions of founds, and the export* to upwards of six millions; in 1860 to thirty five'millions and • 'f«E^. t V Menteen and » half millions ; m 1810 to eighty five millions and the exports to ninety font millions, the high pride of-cotton m England in 1809-10 and the prospects of a war with this country, drawing to'that country the surplus of former crops remaining on hand., In 1826 the crop was one hundred sixty 5 mil lion pounds; and the exports nearly one hun dred twenty millions; in ,l / 830"three hundred m “h°ns, and the exports three hundred bullions; in 1340 nine huodredfifty eight mil- IT "1 r IPI •naisi lions,and tpe eipqrteseven hundred fos millions;' fin 1855,'0pe .thousand two”h fifty three millions, find the export, J sand’ and eight millions; in 185 S, on , three hundred seventy millions, and the' one.thousand one hundred and eights* lions. ° 1 In little over hall creased one thousai millions of pounds, sand one hundfed r this increase may I value of. the export! *, The valueof the] 1793 at the then J pound, was $160, 0f price, twelve cents year ending Sept for the year ending 338.982, for the yei 1858, it was $131,31 the 30th of June and for the last ye t 000,000. a century the crop id three hundred thi and the exports on, pillions.
