Thc Cotton Supply In America.
Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, has
written a second letter to Mr. Bright on the
subject of the Anwrican cotton supplv. He
says:
I have reason to believe that the esti?
mate of the agents of the Government who
have been sent out to take charge of cap?
tured cotton would not lead to tue expeo
tatiom of over 1,000,000 bales of old cotton,
including that captured at Mobile, Charles?
ton and Savannah, and about 800,000 bales
of new crop. My own estimate, obtained
from our business agents, would lead me to
expect as much as 1.230,000 of old cotton,
but much less than 500,000 of new-the
cultivation of the new crop planted during
the war having become entirely disorgan?
ized by the sudden collapse of the Confede?
rate rule. Yon arti aware that I behoved
in and dreaded the existence of a much
larger quantity of old cotton. I dreaded
the effect of verv heavy receipts in Novem?
ber and December, both upon the future
cultivation in this country and elsewhere.
I now feel very safe against any great de?
pression. Thc abrogation of the extra tax
of 25 por cent, and tho restoration of trade
to its normal condition gave immediate
coniider.ee to spinners and consumers of
cloth, and enabled us to absorb the late
tolerably heavy receipts without any very
great fluctuations in price. I estimate our
present consumption at 10,000 bales per
week, and at that vc cannot supply the
demand for cloth, even though we are
making excessive profit. Scarcity of ope?
ratives prevents a rapid increase. U the
supplv of American cotton shall provo to
be only 1,500,000 balts from September 1.
1805, to September 1, 1866, and the price
.-hall be at or about 20 pence in Liverpool,
we shall retain more than one-half for con?
sumption North and South.
Mr. Atkinson encloses two letters from
ut:e of his correspondents, sent out to the 1
cotton States to procure information bear?
ing upon the present and future supply of
cotton. In one of these letters it is stated
that there are about 10,00) bales of cotton
in Augusta, Georgia, and that the "esti?
mate of the new crop is not to exceed 10
per cent." The writer says thc negroes
won't work on the plantations, but crowd !
tr. tho towns. In thc second letter, which
is dated Macon, Georgia, August 21, the
writer says:
'T am more and more persuaded that the
day far large crops of cotton at low prices
bas passed forever. Cotton will bc raised,
but not as before. Tor instance, the wo
mon who used to work in the fields now
foliow the men to the cities, and the men
support them there. It ia all humbug to
tahi of the negroes starving; everywhere I
hear nothing but complaints because the
suppl? of labor is insufficient, and this
while not one plantation in ten is half
worked. Th* wiiole ol' the South is to bc
rebuilt and refurnished, and until it is, the
negro will rind an abundance of labor with?
out working tho lieids. Everywhere I find |
Northern men; hi all of the out-of-the-way
places they do almost all tho business. I
find the impression among the planters is,
that while emancipation will not perma?
nently injure the border States-Missouri,
Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Ten?
nessee and Arkansas-it is total and irre?
mediable nun to thc other States; at least,
so they all express themselves, almost
without exception. " Many are removing to
North Carolina or some other border State.
I found the quality of the cotton at Augusto
superior to any I have yet seen. Its supe?
rior condition is doubtless owing to the
greater caro it has received in storage.
The quantity of cotton in Macon to-day is
from 30,000* to 50,000 bales. The amount
in the district tributary to Atlanta is some
25,000 bales, as nearly as I can make it.
This includes the whwc district of country
to thc Northward of Atlanta, which does
not border on the rivers; also, the countries
about the Vead-waters of the Chattahoo?
chee and those immediately to the South of
the city, say thirty counties in all. This
district" of country h&s been drained to a
very large exteut of its cotton. Here at
Macon the cotton compares favorably with
that at Augusta, which is to say it is in much
bettor condition than that I have seen else?
where. Some 18,000 bales have been sent
away since the Federal occupation, of which
7,000 or 8,000 have gore down tho river to
Dirien.
SlKGUliAB STATE OF AFFAIRS rx MA?
RION, WEST VIRGINIA.-A letter to the
Wheeling Register details a singular
state of affairs as having recently ex?
isted in Marion Cona ty, West Virginia.
The sum of the statement is that a
man named Henry Nay lias for some
time past had a regularly organized
government in Marion, independent
of tho Government oi West "V irginia ;
that this government passed laws, is
sned proclamations, and enforced its
edicts with the bayonet ; arrested and
imp: "soncd alleged offenders, and ex?
torted from tour to five thousand dol?
lars from citizens to indemnify the;
members of the so-called government
for alleged robberies. Recently Nay,
having reason to believe that he could
not much longer maintain his usurp?
ed position, attempted to flee to the
far West, with some four thousand
dallars of his ill-gotten fruits of office.
He was arrested at Littleton, on the
Baltimore and Oliio Railroad, but
while being brought back to Fairmont
jumped from the twin and escaped.
Thc Tribunes Paris letter of the
6th instant says that the deaths from
cholera in Paris arc said to be two
hundred per day. There has been no
rain since August 15th, and there is
great scarcity of water.
ENGLAND AND THE BEVTVAI, OF
SOUTHERN TRADE.-The rapid revival
of trade -with the South stimulates
the manufacturing districts of Eng?
land to renewed activity. The Lon?
don Baily Hews, of the 3d instant,
says:
"The accounts from our manufac?
turing districts show that the expected
revival of the trade with the United
States has begun there in earnest.
At Manchester an enormous business
is being done, both for yarns and
cloth. Goods are wauted at once,
proposals for the execution of orders
m a few weeks being received with
extreme impatience by shippers, who
prefer to buy available goods at
a considerable advance rather than
lose the opportunities of an excited
market."
The News quotes from American
journals to shew how the Southern
trade has grown since the war ended,
and adds these remarks:
"Nor is it only a revival of old
relations that is now taking place; for j
the first time within these thirty !
years the South, no longer having a j
"peculiar institution" to screen and
defend, dares to treat the North as
one country with itself, and invite its
citizens to come with the energy and
capital which are so much needed
there. All the more enterprising of
the Southern States are calling for the
advent of Northern men. The civil
authorities and the journalists of Vir?
ginia, North and South Carolina.
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Ken?
tucky and Missouri earnestly invite
immigration to their respective States;
setting forth at length the extraordi?
nary inducements which the "new
order of things." in those regions,
presents to industrious and thrifty
people. By many of tho vessels leav?
ing New York for points on the South?
ern seaboard, as also by inland modes
of conveyance, enterprising artisans,
mechanics and laborers leave the
North in considerable numbers, hi
quest of the employment and fortune
which are so enthusiastically promised
them. There is nothing, since Lee's
surrender, which more strikingly de
! m ons trates the magnitude of the re
I volution which has passed over the
public than this flow of immigration
into States which very lately were j
practically closed to the free emigrant. ' ' |
ARREST or GENERAL ORTEGA IN
NEW YORK.-An interesting case in
connection with Mexican matters,
and growing out of the Mexican emi?
gration excitement of last spring, was
yesterday before Judge Moncrief, o?
the Superior Court in this city, at
chambers. G n'ai Ortega, who is
Chief Justice tho Supreme Court
of Mexico and Vice President of the
Republic, and who, by the expiration
of the term of President Juarez, will
become .President next month, arriv?
ed in this countiy in April last, where
he has since remained, principally in
this city. Some days ago he was ar?
rested and admitted to bail in the
sum of seven thousand dollars, on the
complaint of Col. "William H. Allen,
who figured in connection with the
recruiting and emigration movement,
and who alleges that he was employ?
ed by the General to superintend the
whole matter, on the promise that all
expenses would be paid. Now, Allen
states, after he has recruited a large
number of men for Mexico, and in?
curred debts amounting to nearly
! seven thousand dollars, Gen. Ortega
I refuses to cash the bills or to have
j anything to do with the recruits.
The action yesterday was on a motion
to show cause why the order of arrest
should not be vacated. The General's
response to Allen's allegations is a
complete denial. He says that he
never gave the latter the slightest au?
thority for engaging in this business,
which was commenced before he had
ever seen Allen, and which he charac?
terized as foolish and calculated to
lead only to failure. He also states
that he was shocked when he learned
? that it was in progress, and that he
i believes the present proceedings are
j designed merely ' to extort money
? from hini. The case has been ait
journed over to the 27th instant.

PROGRESS OF GRANTING PARDONSV
The New York. News, of the 17tl?,
says : "A notice has been attached to
the door at the foot of the staircas3,
leading to the Executive Department,
announcing that 'all pardons in this
office will be signed shortly and sent
to the State Department. ' The effect
has been to lessen the crowd at the
President's House and increase it at
tho State Department. Tho clerk at
the latter place formerly kept open
door, but he now has it closed, with
the warning posted in large letters :
4 No admission. ' "
The President granted sixteen pur
dons, on Saturday, to Virginians.
