I 8^ - . . Esport of CoStosi. The export of cotton from the United States Pp for tho year enJioij June 30, 1S51, amounted, according {04I10 market rates in our ports, to the sum of $112,315,317, and the qumtitv w;is i'';: 927,237,089 pounds?so that the average price ^ was about twelve cents per pound. He hope e that our Southern friends will not be troubled , about the over-production of cotton. * tv. . ?.. 1c wliich these exDorts are made f stand in the following order: fe'- England and Colonies ?670.822,300 ?70,739,267 pv France 139,160.581 18.124,509 - Italy -. 1 8, 184,006 9.791,999 Spain 34,272 625' 4,387,262 E&T' ^ Belgium 16,335,018 2,145,270 Austtgk 17.309,154 2.025,184 Hanscrowns 1G,710.571 2,060,979 Russia 10,098 458 1,297,164 Ilullaud 5,4?'S,679 580.523 gj'" . , Sweden and Norway.. 5,160.974 517,616 Sardinia , 2,436.100 251.838 Cuba, etc 154,104 19,938 Mexico 845.960 101,945 5|k>, ,' v. Of course the only nations who appear t<> be importers of cotton are those that have seaports. . But in some cases the real importers are those I that manufacture. Switzerland, fur instance, is a large manufacturer. And we commend to the advocates of direct trade the case of Switzeiland. She receives her cotton at Havre, in France, which thus appears to be a larger buyer of American .i i n . . *1-1 cotton than is the fact. A Dale 01 cotton is unuH".."' evi at Hu\re. It is then -hauled on a common road and in a clumsy wagon four hundreil miles to Switzerland, and converted into Mia' tine class of cotton fabrics called Swiss muslins, and hauled back to Havre, re-shipped to the United States, S^Yv;"* * and sent into the interior, and sold in Carolina. U Alabama, Misissippi and Tennessee, at rates much ' ; ' cheaper than they could afford to fabricate them. VKay, more than this. The impression generally v_ prevails in this country that England is a much greater customer of ours tor cotton than is the v fact. This impression is produced by the reports of our shipments to the various European j?orts, and those of England, particularly Liverpool, stand at the head. Hut a large quantity sent - to LiverjK?ol is sold to the continental manufaeU' . turers, and hence a bale of cotton frequently goes by way of Liverjaxil to Switzerland, and returns by the same route. Nay, mme than that. A bale of cottou starts from Mississippi to New Org leans, thence to New York, thence to Liverpool. thence to Havre, thence to Switzerland, thence, . . when manufactured, back again by the same route to the very plantation where it was pro' duced. The charges for commissions, transhipments ai d transportation. are numerous and 01101mous and yet the Swiss muslins can b" soM to the Mississippi planter cheaper than he could make them. iiow the reason of all this would require more space than we can now allbrd. Hut the fact that this indirect process of commerce has been go.ng on so long, and among men c.i pableof making all the calculations, and keen in money making, affords a tolerably fair presumption, that there must be powerful induct' rnents tor indirect trade. We shall examine the ^ -'.'J ' Bubject more elaborately iu future. - Southern Press. The Whig Platform.?The following particulars of the contemplated platform of the Whig party we find in the telegraphic correspondence of the Charleston Courier. It would hardly be fair to comment in advance of tiie action of the - - ?- - i - *i.~ ; UOnveruion oil ine report, urn, wju iu,> i|ui.>uuu of the caucus platform promises anything but finality to till compromise: Friday Afternoon.?The Convention reassembled at five o'clock this evening, when the Committee on framing a Platform reported the resolution;-, adopted on Wednesday by the Southern Delegates in Caucus, with but slight veibal changes in the first and seventh. The eighth was altered to read as follows: "Resolved, That the scries of Acts of the forty-first Congress?the Act known as the fugitive slave law included?are received and acquiesced in by the Whig party of the United Slates as a settlement in principle and substance of the dangerous and exciting questions which they embrace, and so far as they are concerned, will maintain them and insist upon their strict enforcement, until time and exj-erieiice shall demonstrate the y necessity of further legislation to guard against the evasion of the laws on the one hand, and the abuse of their powers on the other, not iin pairing their efficiency; and we deprecate all further agitation of the question thus settled as dangerous to our peace, and will discountenance all efforts to"continue or renew such agitation, whenever, wherever, and however the attempt may be made; and wc will maintain this system as essential to the natioiialitv of the Wliiir party and the integrity of the Union." The Hon. Rufue Choate of Massacusctts, Judge Anderson of Louisiana, Hon. John M. Butts of Virginia, and others, addressed the (Xmventiou on the question of adopting the report? of the Committee. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Botts denied that he had received a letter tioin General Scott, but read a private letter written by that gentleman to tiie Hon. William S. Archer, of Virginia, in which he says that he will i write no letter unless nominated, and that lie will express his views as fully on the slavery question as he expressed them to him in a conversation a few days since. But what these views are il was not stated.

At no former period of universal peace has the interest 1 of money been so low, and speculation so passive. * In England, especially, the reduction of interest A one-half per cent, by the Bank of England, the j great regulator of value of money there, has been regard*d as fraught with danger, as leading to 1 speculnti'.e action, but in n very short period " the interest of money has l)eon reduced by that 1 institution one per cent., from 3 to 2 per annum. ( Such an event, without m* rcautile excitement, 1 at least, is without parallel in that country.? r But <m every side not only i^ there an absence N of desire to move in the path of speculation, as c regards commodities, but in that species of it which, in the wide range of dealings on the slock * exchange, embraces the public funds, rail road f shares?etc., there is a stagnation which is truly 1 j remarkable, accompanied as it is with the cheap- r ness of money. e There an be but one solution of the circum ^ stance, to wit, the great uncertainty its to the of- t f<<>? <?n iniee^ of thp nrohl discoveries.

Charleston Evening v Xeies. t Artesian Well.?Tin* I'.ilia- (Ala.) Gazette says that the fir-t Artesian well of Mr. J. E. s Mathew- in C'ahaba is cotnpli t- d. It is 735 feet deep and ?ci.ds forth a stream of water measured at 1200 gallons per minute. The fatuous ! French well at <ireiiol?l", it is said, does not dis* charge more than half this quantity. "The j water (say> the Gazette.) boils up. roaring like a j cataract, forming a branch of considerable size, j and the low grounds some two iiuudnd yards N j distant, require ditching, to carry otPtlie immense quantity of water collected upon its surface. Mr. lb id. the successful borer of this well, has commenc* d boring another, some sixty yards distaut (for Mr. Mathews) which will he ,-ome 1500 or 2000 leet deep. To prevent injury to the first, it is necessary to make the second one much * deeper, so as to reach a different stratum of water. The firs? well is tubed, as the second will be. Mr. Koid is also boring a well for Dr. English, j two hundred-yards distant from Mr. Mathews. | It is now 530 feet deep, and discharges 200 gal- v Ions of water per minute. A correspondent of the Gazette gives the fob c lowing in relation to the first well of Mr. Mathews, which was bored for the purpose of obtain ing sufficient water to supyly a steam cotton , mill: First a well was dug in the ordinary way, 32 | feet through the red clay sand and gravel lying ujkui the rotten limestone. A large pine log was ^ then procured, and a hole 3 14 inches in diameter bor<-d through it. After sharpening the end ' ! and putting an iron hand around it the log was ! i put down and firmly driven and forced into the 'j rock. The well was then filled up?the upper ^ end of the log appearing about a foot above the surface. The boring then commenced, and with tjie various tools and contrivances of the art, and j. the earth was rapidly penetrated. As each lower sheet of watet was reached by ; the tools, the water was thrown up by the whole in greater quantities and with more violence When the "first water"?that i4, the water just * below the first sand stone?was reached, the upward flow of the water did not exceed seven gallons per minute. It was increased to one hun- i dred gallons, when the second sand stone was t perforated, und on reaching the third sheet of 'J water, upwards of 300 gallons per minute rush- * oil up through the orifice, seemingly impatient i of its limits. i Thinking that the quantity of water would be i increased hv enlarging the hole, they rimmed ? out 9 1 2 inches in diameter, and .r>3S feet deep. ?. to the sand stone lying above this third lv-d vvn- | tor, and inserting a tube from the. first, and rest- 1 upon the third sand *torie.

Hi.- bones may be racked vith cold, his head may throb with pain, hiongne may be parched with fever, he may be mnerved by excessive labor, yet he must write, vritc, wr.te.

There are many important practical lessons taught in the history of this day which it would be as well to remember. These teach us certain duties we i owe not only to ourselves, but to those who are to come after us. It is unfortunately true that there are many persons of the present day, who care for nothing but themselves?the present is all they live for, and the gratification of this life absorbs all thought and care. Is this man s destiuv? 'Tis true we do not want to hear long panegvrics pronounced upon the Glorious Union. We do like to hear of what our revolutionary sires did?not what some of their base and degenerate sons are doing. To say the leas, of it, it looks childish, and reminds ; us more ot some boyish freak than of a manly act. By our refusing to join in the approaching Celebration is a sort of acknowledgment that we are not entitled to do so. Southern men and Southern women had as much to do in gaining the glory of tins day, as Northern men aud Northern women. We repudiate such an idea as to pas^ by "unhonored and unsung" the greatest day whichever dawned upon man.
