With- : in a week or two we may expect to hear of' civil war between the States of the Great Republic. Anxious as we feel to escape such a conclusion, we do not see how it is to be evaded. The North is no longer disposed to make concessions, even if the South would listen to comnroniise. and nlthminrli allow for a certain amount of bluster on the side of the Secessionists, nobody d- ubts that Amcricaus are ready to light. We look upon , this prospect with unaffected horror. Independently of our natural sympathies, we have > enormous interests at stake?such interests, indeed, that our charity must begin at homo. We deplore the political catastrophe, but our ! first thoughts must necessarily be given to its commercial efforts If the Southern States! of the Union are convulsed by war, a servile ' insurrection will be only too probable an inc. ;? .1? UVMV V* viiv uvi 11 v j 11 mi: .-MM ? ICUtJI, U1C U?lton crop perishes ; and with tlic failure of the cotton crop comcs the paralysis of our own 1 etaple manufacture. The question is so mo- 1 mcntous that it cannot be too seriously urged | or too expeditiously entertained. Lancashire depends on South Carolina, and what South Carolina is doing becomes terribly evident from each successive despatch. The telegrams of Saturday last were the most ominous yet received, and if we compare with thuse reports an article from a weekly contemporary which we yesterday transcribed, the perils ahead of us will be distinctly appreciated. \Vc gave insertion all tho more willingly to j tho remarks of tho economist because tho.y ! were designed to mitigate alarm. They professed to give the facts and figures of tho 1 case without exaggeration, and to inform the public exactly of what might be expected if tho worst came to the wors^. Such being ' me spine ot tiic article, it may be fairly as- ; sutned that at least all consequences anticipated would really occur in the event of an American war, and what those consequences j would be, we can now briefly explain. The ! number of people actually dependent on our cotton manufactures for their daily bread is estimated at nearly 4,000,000?that is to say, at about onc-si.<th of the entire population of Great Britain. The extent to which our export trade depends on the same branches of industry is expressed by the fact that cotton goo ls constituted more than one-third of the aggregate exports of 1850. Finally the de j^i ti; ill vruu:il >Y<: IlilVC IIIIIICITO 000011(100 I0f the material of all this trade on the Southern ! States of the I'nion appears from the state- 1 ment that, upon an average of the last four years, America sent us 77 per cent, of all the j eotton we consumed. That much isadmittcd, and the deduction is at once so obvious and so alarming that we do not see how it could be exaggerated. Our contemporary, however, has some crumbs of consolation for us. There are many countries which produce cotton, and when the American supply falls short of our wants, as it has occasionally done, the exports from other quarters increase. For instance, four years ago the crop of the United States proved deficient, and the consequence was that other countries, and especially Tndia, sent, us an amount making a respectable approximation til t.he wlinln Vniofinan vinlil l.1....... Slave Stiiton wo got 1,482,000 bales, while from other sources we Actually obtained almost 1,000,000, of which India contributed nearly two thirds. Assuming, therefore, that our yearly consumption may be reckoned at 2,400,000 bales, it would not be extravagant to suppose that the miscellaneous sources of supply might bo made, undor the extraordinary pressure which wquld ensue, to furnish us with 1,200,000; or, in other words, with half the amount required.? Here, then, wo see the extreme effect which might be produced by the suspension of cotton production in the slave States of the Union, and the absolute interruption of supplies from that quarter. All our mills would have 10 work half time. That it docs not follow, as a matter of neocssity, that all our workpeople would earn only half wages may be perfectly true. It is also true that the consequences would be probably mitigated by economy of consumption and various other incidents of the crisis, while it is certain that the dearth of material would be only temporary, and that the irresistible stimulus applied to cotton production in other quarters of the globe would fijon stock our markets as abundantly as before. All this may be true, and it may, moreover, be admitted that the utter destruction of the American cotton crop is too extreme a case to be fairly supposed. In the worst of events we shouid get something. We are eertainly not inclined to depreciate the so arguments. We prefer, on the contrary, to give them their full weight, and to as smut: mat mo worm contingency conceivable amounts simply to this?that for a certain porio'J, probably a brief one, Hi, our cotton mills would bo compelled to work half-time. We take that as the result to be anticipated, According to reasonable and temperate calculation ; and we ask whether any man in the kingdom can contemplate it without terror ? Look at the results of a month's frost?mere " oldfa8hioned Christmas weather!" The interruption of a few minor trades for a few winter days has pauperized the metropolis and driven half our authorities to become rclieving-offieers for the time. Look at Coventry, with a total population, rich and poor together, of less thnn -10,000, disturbed-by tlio decay of tho riband trade.% The ohiirity of the whole kingdom", lavishly bestowc<f, has just sufficed, to keep the sufferers frOui starving tillftpiing or fashion shall bring relief. Take these examples, and apply the deduction to the cotton manufacture. Instead of a few thousands, imagine <1,000,000 people in trepidation and distress. What subscriptions, what society, what Doorrates. what police-courts could tncut such a case as that? Where could the relief come from? Recollect that, while so much national industry would he paralyzed, so much national wealth would he also lost. We should be doing onethird less trade, and who can tell how far the more panic incidental to shell an unprecedented crisis might dot aggravate the realities of the peril f There is not an hour to be lost in providing against this tremendous danger. To put the case in the mildest form, three-fourths of our cotton supply lins become uncertain, one-third of our trade is in jeopardy, and the earnings of one sixth of our population may bo rendered precarious. Are not these facts enough to set us at work with u will? Not u doubt exists about the resources at our command. Cotton can be grown almost as commonly as wheat. The best seeds and the best staples are now well understood, and the proper methods of cleaning and packing can bo easily taught. Tho rest is the work of a year or two. Since the publication of our last remarks on this suject we have received a communication from one of the societies interested in African civilization, informing us that the progress of cotton cultivation at Ahbcokutu, as actually and authentically recorded, is such as to match the beginnings of every American enterprise. In 1850, that obscure, though productive region, sent about half a 1 I ' * 11 * 1 T 4 " unit; or coiioii to nil. 1 n 1 tins modicum had burn in creased about forty-fold, and in 18G0 it actually amounted to 2000 bal^s. Wo an; assured that the district could easily prow cotton enough for the consumption of all Lancashire, and we are asked whether the introduction of skilled negros from the United States would not soon give to us a new Charleston on the African coast?? From India the offers arc the same. If in 1S67 India could send us, as she did, 080,000 bales, it is fair enough to presume that under the pressure and with the encouragement of a strong demand, she could raise her supplies i iinn iinn i i i , " <* iu i ,w>v,'/mi umes?ueany nan or our immediate wants. Then, again, there is Australia, actually inquiring for a staple article of produce, and desirous of nothing bettor that) to be set cotton growing for Knglnnd. We do not dissemble the particular difficulty of | the case. Wo have repeatedly observed, and we acknowledge once more, that America has 1 got the call of the market. It is not that her advantages might not be equalled in the end by those of Australia or India; but at present she enjoys ull those facilities of organization and traffic which would have to be created elsewhere. The creation would be perfectly practicable, but it has still to be accoinolished. anil in tlu> nimmfimn ?borr> i< ?lu> old-established firm, with its capital, its connexions, and all that makes business profitable, yet undamaged. Nobody can say, however, that the security will last a month, ami, besides that, our national interests catl imperatively for new supplies. It is worth reflecting that if tho agriculture of the slave States should be ruined, there will be a trade of f it),000,000 a year to be picked up by some other countries.

On n comparison of the instrument with the Constitution of the United States it i will be found to be almost a transcript of the j latter, both in its provisions and language.? Tho only points of difference not embraced in the intelligence by telegraph are : Article 1, section 4, provides thilt upon all questions each State shall be entitled to one vote and shall be represented by-any rtnc or more of its Deputies who may bo present.? j The same article says that tho members of Congress shall receivc a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the Treasury of the Confederacy."

Lincoln's Opinion and Movements "Washington, February 14.-?Lincoln, in a speech at Columbus, is represented to have ) said : If the vnr^iiisr and repeatedly shifting of the present scenes are without precedent, ! wl'ich could enable me to judge by the past, ! it seemed fitting that, before speaking upon I the difficulties of the country, I should have j gained a \ icw of the whole field. To be sure, I after all, I might be at liberty to modify or j change my policy as future events might make such changes ncccssary. 1 havo not maintained silcnoe from any want of real anxiety, and it is a pood thing that it is 110 more than anxiety, for there is nothing tcoipg wrong.? It is a consoling circumstance that when we look about us, to find t here is nothing that really hurts anybody. Wo entertain different views upon questions, but nobody is suffering anything. This is a most consoling circumstance, and from it, 1 judge that all we want is time, patience and reliance on Cod, who has never forsaken this people. On the arrival of the train nt fndianopolis, Monday nftornoon, nearly 2^,000 persons were congregated to greet Mr. Lincoln. Ho spoke from the balcony of the Bates House, from a manuscript prepared at Springfield, as follows : " Fellow-Citizens of the State of Indiana: I am hore to thank you much for this magnificent welcome, ami still more fur the very generous support given by your State to that political cause which I think is the true and just, cause of tlu; whole country nnd the wliole world. Folomon says, " There is a time to keep silence and when men wrangle by the mouth jvitli no certainty that they t moan the same thing while using the same word, it perhaps were as well if they would , keep silence. The words "coercion" and . | " invasion " are much used in these days, | and often with some temper and hot blood.? , j Let us make sure, if we can, that we dont .misunderstand the meaning ot tluwe who use them. Let us pet the exact definitions of these words, not from dictionaries, hut from the men themselves, who certainly deprecate the tilings they would represent by the use of the words. What, then, is "coercion?"? i What is " invasion ?" Would the marching j of an army into South Carolina, without the I consent of her people, and with hostile intent r towards them he invasion ? I certainly think , ! it would he " coercion," also, if the South 1 Carolinians were forced to submit. Hut if the j United States should merely hold and retake , I its own forts and oilier property, and collect . ; the duties on foreign importations, or even , withhold the mails from places where they were habitually violated, would any or all thefce things be " invasion " or " coercion ?" Do our professed lovers of the Union, but who spitefully resolve that they will resist coercion and invasion, understand that sueli things af these on the part of the United States would ' ; be coercion or invasion of a Ftate? If so, j their idea of means to preserve the object oi . , their grent affection would seem to be exceed . iugly thin and airy. If sick, the little pills f of the hmoeopnthist would bo much too larg( . i ior it to swauow. in their view the Union * ! its a family relation, would seem to he no rep: ulnr marriage, but rather a sort of " free love' arrangement, to bo maintained on passiona s attraction. Ily the way, in what consist* th< t special sacrcdnoss of a State ? I speak no' if of the position assigned to a State in th? i- Union by the Constitution, for that by th< f bond we all recognize.

[ Applause.] What is to be the future of the now Government ? The fate of this new Republic will depend upon ourselves.

American heart, will end the allegiance which invested the Confederation with the attribute of indestructibility. It was a dream. It is gone; the illusion is past, and whilst every heart confutes to feeling, or having felt, a pamr at the separation, there is no remorse to embitter tho regret. There is no stain upon our hands, there is no damning proof upon the e.seutehe<>? of the ciouth. It wns nut Iter deed. Lot the Northern assassins mourn as those without hope. It is their work.

We bury all differences of opinion, all names which betoken divided vic.Ws. all <picstious of mooted policy, in the grave oVcr which the HI a ok Republicans have furled a once honored flag, never more, perhaps, to wave over the Union as it was. we shall do this cheerfully; we shall not give to independent Louisiana, or to the confederacy'to which she consents, a reluctant or divided ^ support.
