[TROU Oint SPECIAL C03BESPOXDEKT. ] AKDXBSOK, August 19.-This morning at the peep of day the inhabitante of thia noble old district' could be .seen wending their .way to? wards the Town of Anderson. They came from all directions, .in .buggies^ carriages,^sulkejs, wagons, and vehicles of every sort, both de? scribable and. ^describable-evan oxen, in cumbersome carts, were seen to drag their lazy bodies, followed by a/heavy cart filled with sound thoroughgoing mountain Democrats. Themost striking feature was that every osun tenanco was radiant with a pleasant, happy ? - Bmile-thV greetingI extended -by one to ano? ther W? of the 'Warmest and moat cordial na? ture; old men and young men, ladies and chil? dren, came to endorse, the nomination, of Sey? mour and Blair. '* At eleven o'clock tho Greenville Brass Band, who had volunteered their services for the oc? casion, struck up a lively tune, and the mar? shal of the day formed the line directly in Iront of, the hotel. The line then moved off in . a quiet and orderly manner towards the. plat? form. ,-, j? . v.. The. stage was erected: in a beautiful shady grove of magnificent o'erspreading oaks. Seats surrounded it, and overhead were fly mg gaily to tho breeze of morn the grand old stars and : s tri pea, with the names of our standard bear era, Seymour and Blair, inscribed thereon. Long before the procession reached the grove the seats were filled with the fair and bloom? ing daughters of Anderson.'

We greet them and you. with pride and sympathy, and earnestly ' hope that this day's proceedings may redound to the success . of those cherished principles bequeathed to us as a common heritage by th3 heroes of 76.

' [Cries : -\ . "Yes, wa will."J I knew that you would. - \ The contest we are entering upon is fraught ? with, graver and momentous issues. We are 1 sErugglmgfor~froe government, for the rights' ? and principles handed dow.t to us by our fore- j fathers, and for the privilege of ggyetning our- t selves. The rule of blood that the rump Con* <] gress in Washington would institute will end j with the. eiecLiou of our nominees. The hor- < . rors of Radicalism we must prevent, and itcan ? only be done, by exerting every energy that c Providence has placed within our power. We 1 have just emerged from a disastrous and ( bloody war, and nave no desire to see another j sweep v>ver this country. What we want is ' peace. vYou have established a noble and en- j viable move in the history of the world, and , will sustain,that reputation so long as hfe 1 - lasts. You will not, cannot- submit to negro ] domination.. Mississippi, our gallant sister, ( bas given ten thousand majority to the De- j mooney. We can accomplish as much, but it \ cannot.be by folding our arms and displaying c a masterly inactivity. Our very fives depend \ uporLthe great issues involved. ' We must rise , in jtho strength of our might, striEe off the , shackles that hied us, and remove the iron j heel of despotism from our necks. In No? vember next, the great and mighty cohorts of | 'the Democratic party will rally as ono man, j and by electing their nominee3, return peace \ and prosperity to a down-trodden Southern < land. Carolinians, you most exercise the , same devotion, zeal and patriotism towards ; the Democratic- party that you did to tbe lost , cause. Nothing on earth but tho success of , that party can save us. | , South Caroona claims a place in the picture, , and this pany will see that her rights are un- ? tarnished and ber 'liberties untrammelled. Carolina must be ruled by Carolinians. We swear by the Eternal God, by all the hopes of the future, by" the memories of the past, and by our children, that this government, given . to us as a heritage by our ancestors, shall be the government of the 'White man. [Great ' Cheering.] Tba old government was honored at home and respected abroad; taxation was ; light and plenty blessed the land. The pre- - sent Radioal rule is a by-word and a reproach; . taxation is heavy and want stalks abroad. The peace offered by the Radicals ia the peace of , the kite to tho dove, of the wolf to tho lamb, of , the burglar to bis victim. The peace we want < is,that of the white-robed angel that spreads , plenty over a smiling land, rebuilds our waste ? places, and makes everything blossom as the ] rose.. The Northern Democracy have sworn ( thai the constitution shall not be oerthrown . by Radical role, and that the rights of the ; States therein guaranteed shall not be in? fringed or destroyed. They and they alone can rescue the government from the hands that bave,polluted it. Oar fortune is embark? ed and launched with theirs. The soldiers of the great armies ot the United S ca tes that gal? lantry fought us, have extended the right hand of fellowship to us, and we have in good faith ; accepted it They are willing that our dignity, respect and equality shall noe be impaired. We have passed through the ordeal of war, and know its bitter depths. Now wo want peace. [Cheers.] These men who talk flippant? ly of war never faced the cannon's roar and rat? tle of musketry. They always sought safety in ignominious flight, avoiding every peril and danger. Thoparty in power charge us with revolution. This wo flatly deny and denounce as a base falsehood. They think by so doing to clear themselves and heap the crime upon ns. They endeavor to remove the Executive from power to paralyze the Supreme Court, and by military tyranny and despotism to crush out toe already bleeding and mangled South. We claim that we are the heralds of peace; that we have exerted every legal and consistent effort, and are still exerting them, to re-establish this once proud government upon a peaceful and lasting basia. The so-called Legislature in Columbia is the embodiment of ignorance, folly and barbarism. Its members occupy seats once held by mi wisdom, virtue ana integrity. This" is o; the offsprings of the rJeconstruction act. hare borne wrong and oppression with sub patience and magnanimous fortitude, gave a larger vote against the Reconstru?: ants than any State in the South. These s wags and traitors should be branded wit] famy and eternally stigmatized. They ', dishonored their State and heaped everlas shame upon themselves and their fara; There are no words in the English languag express the utter contempt entertained tn for these renegades and traitors. They the carpet-baggers are like the base vu that comes to fatten on the living rem an? ita victim. Tbe word scalawag is used by vers to describe the mean, lousy and filthy that are hot fit for butchers or dogs, with t hair growing the wrong way. Governor Yt Bays they are like the Irish21 au's horse-vi turned loose cannot be caught ; when cai not worth a d-d red cent. Don't liste them. These fellows would sell their Go quickly as they have sold their coan [Cheers.] Fair daughters of Carolina, a g deal can be done by you. Frown down ev thing that tends to injure our glorious pa Use your influence now as you displayed de tion to the lost cause; scorn any man who not come boldly up to the rescue of his cc try. If we cannot five in thia country forced by an inexorable decree to leave will pack up our household gods and se? moro congenia] clime. BBkiMM OF COL. XHO?IAS. j Fellow-citizens, Ladies and Oentkm Look not at the past, but contemplate the 1 sent, and press on towards the goal of our li veranee. No man in South Carolina appr ates higher the dory and renown of our pr State, but things press: upon us that .wea graver hue. and we must meet them as t are presented to us.. 'The. records pf Carol show a long list of noble,' pure' and "upri men. Contrast them with the present so-c ed representatives. The robes of honor 1 laurel-wreaths of distinction that adorn tl brows have' been placed upon whom ? : there is consolation in the words of the poe "Truth crushed to earth will ri? 0 again, ,, The eternal years ni God ore her's, - ? But error wounded writhes in pain, . ? - And falls amid ber worshippers." We have an abiding trust in the ultim success-of the grand old Democratic par The' war has passed, and we of the South lc for peace. We want no Alexander to out 1 gordian knot, ra desire it peacefully and hi : pity unravelled. True and whole-souled Bfc dara bearers have been selected to carry 1 ward the banner of the Democracy with pea emblazoned hoon its wide-spread fold J. 1 fires are already kindled and are burning fr the mountains to the seaboard, from the gri lakes to the gulf. The decree has gone Xor and in November next the great question Vi be settled. South Carolina must be ral by Carolinians. This country belongs 'you-sons of the soil. Tour fathers won from the Indian and the Briton. It must n< er be given up to Northern adventurers, igx rant Africans, or treacherous South3mei The great party ia rallying from the Atlant to the Pacifi?; from mountain to mountain, ai from plain to plain.. They will overthrow tl diabolical Radical rule, which is built upi sand. What we now seed is industrial reiuv nation and political redemption. To obu these we must remain faithful to that gre party which baa. promised free and full repr mentation without detraction or derogation, au promises to place us upon an equal footing wii other States, thereby securing all our righ and privileges. If Calhoun could rise from b grave; he would counsel us to adopt thia vei course. South Carolina heeds' wealth. Th constitutes the sinews ol' peace as well as wa Wealth and. prosperity can oily be obtainc by nard and earnest work. We must cultiv?t farms and rear school houses. The youth < the country should not be tenanted to take hoi of the plough, .anvil and the hoe. Our ehou ders must be put to the wheel 'manfully an with a d?terminai ion to succeed. The dooi of the Stat? are thrown open to immigratioi and ere long the hardy Celt and sturdy Genna will work for us, and in the possibility of fight, fight with us. The wealth of the baron of England sustain Magna Charta, that grea blessing of English liberty. We must ente into the industrial arena, and contend with ath [etea of the north. We want peace to heal th bleeding wounds of the country, to.build u] our waste place?, to erect altars to the li vin j God, not Napoleonic peace, but peace, plenty prosperity and happiness. - Colon il Thomas then spoke of the stolid ig norance and venal rascality that was embodiei in our so-c ; Ile d Legist uro, particularly-t hi carpet-bagger in whom were united tbe offici of Governor and Freedmen's Bureau agent, ai an insult too monstrous to be endured. A con slave of ignominy, ignorance, baseness and de ara vi ty, they are kites perching where eaglet itood before. The Nor them soldiers have ex tended the right hand of fellowship and amity ind ii has been accepted. Be. eulogized Seymour and Blair, and said ?bat we must rally as one man around the glo? rious standard of the Democracy, Wo will, he ?lid, never, give up the land wo love.so dearly, his genial elimo bequeathed to us as a heri? tage. The palmetto will again take root, put brita its branches, and flourish as of old, ;C beers.] ??VKkMXCa OF COLONEL HABglET.T.. My Friends and Fellow Comrades: Fair an? gels who made the ? horrors of war pass lightly 0 the soldier by dressing bis wounds and nura? ng bim tenderly: You will follow wherever the jalumt chieftain leads, for his path will always >a on the side of right, justice and victory. rVhat means this vast assembly of South Caro inians? It is to ratify the nomination of the rreat constitutional party, . . - The eyes of the world are upon us. Fox wpuli cc*-Ort has been made a falsehood bv tbe Radicals. They bato Usurped power, ana are driving to OrUth to earth ten sovereign States, Ch -v claim that their measures are peaceful, for eight long years have they controlled the ?overument, and with what result ? The war las roen ended three years, and yet this party >f peace have accomplished nothing but dis imon and despotism. Three years have we raietly waited for these Congressmen in Wasti? ng to torn from their vomit and they will not. Chev say that we are in the Unidh, but give us io, rights recognized as a State without the ?wer to oontrol. What would Calhoun, Coevos, McDuffie, Pres ton and Legare say if they could 'see this 1 ta te of affairs',? Could one of them stand bo? oro you for office ? The Radicals tell you they lave jost begun their work. Fanaticism, Ban lolph says, has no stopping place: it will con inue to increase its venom and spleen so long ts its followers are in power. The American jeople will rise in the strength of their might ind put down this usurping tyranny. I will not polluta my lip3 by speaking of ?hose carpet-baggers and scalawags compos? ing the so-called Executive, Judicial and Legis? lative branches of the government of our state. We have come hare to counsel with ?roo concerning representation. We claim that we are acting under the hw', and denounce and leny that we are endeavoring to destroy the government. [Cheers.] Treason rests not in one who would sustain thia government, but in one who would destroy it. You must .go to the ballot box, vote, and influence as many as you can to do likewise. These carpet-baggers who come among you will steal and borrow all they can and then take up'their duds and leave tho place. The senator for the short term is a a dirty scalawag and renegade, wbo has been raised to position, so-called, and was known to spit down the throat or one of his negroes to prove that be waa a slave. Aye, be has time and again had the negro chained like a base relon, and yet he has been made senator by those slaves. My colored friends, who nursed you during sickness ? who took care of your infanta and supported tbe aged, if not your old masters ? Trust and confide in the Southern paople, and ail will be well; protection of property and life shall be yours. The Democracy is bursting forth take a new-born ocean, and sweeping everything before it. I would impress upon you the necessity of standing firmly together, ?nd the waves of Radicalism will be broken, shattered and dispersed. [Cheers.] REMARKS OF HON. A. BURT. Ladies and Gentlemen: Il I considered my own inclination I would not grant your desire. I have no words of burning eloquence and am weak of speech, but I have a warm Carolina heart, always ready and willing to give a word of counsel and cheer. The country bas been seized by rude binds and torn from us. We must gather our strength and tarn the usur Sjrs out. The groat object and aim of this adical party is to humble a proud people. Any man who would advise the support of the present government must be a slave of slaves. Tho women of the country will not allow it. Womon have always proven true to themselves. Wivos should drive any husband away who should BO degrade her as to countenance this rule of tyranny. Mothers turn those rene? gade sons from your presence who would sink the old ship of state into an African cesspool. There are features in the so called constitu? tion that are very objectionable and unbeara? ble. No man who has ever possessed the con? fidence -of* his State can bold office. By this thousands of our best citizens are disqualified, but this will not, cannot last. Our friends of the North and West will strike it out and give us equality and justice. Commissioners have been appointed to buy in all the lands that may be sold: for tai os for the State, so-called, eo that it may be divided ont amone: the negroes. Don't let any white man's land be sold to pay taxes 1 - Yon-can do it. -Before six weeks there will be .a storm of enthusiasm that will astonish them. I think that concern in Colombia is ready to break np for insolvency. We find ourselves standing face to face with a problem that philosophers and philanthro? pists cannot solve bot by the extermination of one race. Wo most adjust it in some form, peacefully if possible. This conn try was dis? covered Dy white men, and owned by white men, and by the help of heaven shall ever be ruled by white men. Freedom did not ohange intellect or morale. We want friendly rela? tions between the white and colored races. We cannot have social or political equality. God has given to each distinct qualities. We want them to improve our. a incultura and to till the soil. White labor will not cultivate. With the negro the white peo? ple desire amicable, civil and kind relations. If broken, it will be the fault of the colored man. Break not the relationship. ? The5 Radi? cals desire a war of races. Let me warn you not to commence it. If it should come your doom, my colored friends, will1 be readinthat of tbe Indian, Not even a grave left. ? lt will, be the doom of extermination. An inferior race has never yet, in the history of the world, I ruled a superior, not even in En'eland or Spain. ' Collision is in store, and certain death. I trust that you will break up your leagues and return to the white man. As I said before, if a collis? ion commences, you will follow in the path already trod by the Indian. Let us, : ia thia, trying crisis, do our whole duty, and I predict the doom of scalawags and carpet-baggers. [Cheers.] 1 KWHAtnrs OP COL, JAS. s. corasAX. Ladies and Gentlemen : It affords me pleas I ?ure to meet with my fellow -citizens. I have a 'ground of quarrel with . tho Committee; of Ar- ? rangements. Thoy invited me to a seat Ol the .platform, but did ?ot toilmq I was.expected to speak." * I have afeo another ground of quarrel, , 'anrjrthat is.-the-Tbrtng the skirmisher" tn nt the end of the fight, which is contrary to all principle and precept; but ? will do the best I can, Angels could do no'more." I fully agree with the sentiments and expressions uttered by the able gentlemen who'have preceded ?me. There are two modes1- of losing liber? ty-one by corruption, the other by vio? lence. Tfo the last we must attrib? ute our loss. This thought preserves " the honor and integrity of a people. We are now to fight with ballots; for the war with Ihe bul? let is ended: and if wo fail we must remember 'that they who succeed do .not always deserve success.* We.acceptedthe result in good faith, and intend to be as true and devoted in. peace as we have been in war. Tue speaker compar? ed allegiance to a pebble thrown in a stream of water-the little waves began at the very c en? tre, and continued to extend, until it reaches, | the merge; should it meet a counter wave,' the' little carrent immediately returns to the cen? tre. He advocated peaceful measures strongly, the maintenance of principio, and establish? ment of right. We are, said he, a great people, ?and mast help ourselves ont of the slough of despond. ? Col. Cothnn related the closing scene of the drama in very appropriate and feeling lan? guage. His regiment was drawn up in line j ?of battle, momentarily expecting the advance 1 of the enemy, when to the surprise of the en- , tire command, a white flag was seen in the dis- < tance, gradually approaching' the lines. The bearer came in, and after a short time Gen. Lee appeared on horseback, not with his usu*! smiling, beaming countenance, but depressed and abjected with sorrow plainly visible. Eve? ry one Knew that something extraordinary had occurred. The soldiers gathered around the war-worn and battle-scarred veteran; and one asked bim what was the matter. Mournful, silent tears coursed do wn tho old chieftain's cheeks, n and after a short pause, ho replied: "I have sur- | ; rendered the army of 'Northern Virginia upon the best terms that could be obtained. Go to your houses, and be as good citizens in peace as you have been'in war.". Every eye wasmoistr e.ied, and tbe Southern people have proved themselves law-abiding citizens. Damn OF COLONEL AIKEN. Mr. Chairman, Fellow-Citizens and Ladies: It always does my heart good to address the ladies. .The position assigned mo is that of a Bkirmisher, but I shall change it into sharp? shooting, shoot a long way and with accuracy. A few years ago the ballot-box was the palladi? um of strength. What is it now? A plea for bribery and corruption. A short time baak it t was considered a lofty ambition to be connect-- | t ed with the Legislature. Of what is it compos? ed how? Stupid negroes, Judas Iscariots and carpet-baggers. I would advise every Carolin? ian to visit the mongrel crowd called tbe Leg? islature, in Columbia. You will never regret the investment. There'.'yon will behold rag-tag and bobtails making laws to govern' you, while under Radical rule and domination. South Carolinians shall regulate South Carolina, i Action I action 1 aorion I should ? be * emblazoned upon ' bur standard. Choose you this day whom you shall serve; Are you willing for ignorant ne? groes, scalawags and carpet-baggers to rule yon ? f Cries of no, no.] "Snow me a respecta-' ble carpet-bagger, and I will Bbow yon an angel In black; show me a respectable scalawag, and I will show you a sheep for Governor. Who is Scott,, before high Heaven"? He ia the best looking omnibus driver I have seen in some time. I visited the Legislature and remained there for three hours; heard Whipper, Bennett Randolph and several ot h ere speak, and I tell you their remarks and ideas- were hke a plas? terer sifting lime. He sifts and sifts, and at last f there is none there, s Resolutions ratifying the nomination of Soy- ? mour and Blair were thou unanimously adopt? ed, rousing cheers for the Democracy were given, and the meeting then adjourned. The speakers and other gentlemen were then Invited to the rooms ot tbe Democratic Cen- j t tra! Committee, where a sumptuous dinner had been prepared, in the arrangements of which the tastes of the fair ladies of Anderson was illustrated. The zeal and tact of the com? mittee, and of other gentlemen, were conspi puous; and Anderson showed a spirit of grace- [ fol courtesy and consideration to all tho guests e of the day. t In the evening, a town meeting was held in j the Court House, which was intended to give ? the colored people the opportunity of bearing t speeches more especially designed for them. j The Hon. J. P. Reed was called to the chair, ? and made an admirable speech, after which the ] meeting was addressed in turn by Col. Thomas * and Col. Haskell. Tho Chatham Railroad. The Columbia Phoenix publishes the follow? ing report of a meeting held on Thursday, in t the interest of the Chatham Railroad : c At a meeting of the citizens of Columbia, ( held at Carolina Hall, Col. James G. Gibbes ( was called to the chair, who introduced Mr. A. 1 B. Andrews, who had been invited to address j our people on the Chatham Railroad, which is 1 to connect Raleigh with Columbia, by way of j Cheraw. Mr. Andrews, in a short discourse, 1 showed the great benefit the road would be to .' the whole State of South Carolina, in running ' near a hundred miles through its territory, 1 through a portion of the State in a great meas? ure isolated from the great thoroughfares which intersect the State. This road, passing by the coal fields of North Carolina, could deliver coal in Columbia at eight dollars per ton, which now costs nine? teen dollars. Besides giving employment to thousands of our laborers, it will develops tho resources of the State, and shorten the dis? tance to Raleigh one hundred and five miles. Mr. Andrews, after mentioning other points of interest connected with the road, sta tod tbat his object here was merely to obtain from the Legislature a charter for the road; that the company did not ask ono cent to be ap- ] ] pro pri?t ed, EG the company have a capital of above $2,000,000, and would begin tbe con? struction of the road as soon as the charter was granted. i Upon the conclusion of the address, Col- i MoMaster offered the following resolutions, \ which were passed unanimously : j Resolved, That the citizens of Columbia 1 view with interest the contemplated construe- t tion of the Chatham Railroad from this place c to Raleigh, considering it au enterprise of tho J greatest importance to tho whole State of South Carolina, and especially beneficial to 1 Columbia ; and hereby express their thanks to t the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad for their no- 1 ole effort to aevelope the resources of this ] State, by proffering to build the road without " expense to tho State. Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting j I be tendered to Mr. Andrews, ipr his instruc? tive address on the advantages of the Chatham Road. Mr. Gourdin, of Charleston, formerly Presi? dent of the Blue Ridge Railroad, being pre? sent, was called upon for his views on the advantages of this road, and after some ap? propriate suggestions on the great benefits of j fi railroads, expressed bis belief that this con? templated road would be of immense benefit to the whole State, and boped that the Legis? lature would not hesitate to grant a charter to | tl a road so obviously useful to the State.

Emita, Edwards k Co.'6 Circular.] LIVERPOOL, August 1.-The past month has witnessed a panic in the cotton market, and prices fell off 1 Jd. per pound, followed hy a ral? ly of Jd. per pound. At the date of our : last report a dall steady f eeling prevailed both in Manchester and here. Middling uplands were quoted at Hid., and fan* Dhollerah, 9d. per pound. New Dhollera, to arrive, was selling at 8Jd. to 8|d. per pound. Business in Manchester nad been very bad for a long time, still it was not expected to get worse, and there was a general opinion that American cotton was safe between lld. and lljd. per pound. Toe consomption was well kept up, and was probably not far short of 50. 000 bales per week, including an unusual pro? portion of small Brazil balee. Daring the first few days of July a steady feeling prevailed here, and no signs appeared of the storm ttut was so nigh at hand, bnt in the second week of J uly adull uneasy feeling crept over the market ominous of future dis? aster-buyers of goods in Manchester stood entirely aloof, and prices there deolined at a rate which left an appalling margin of loss to the producer ; still there was no material de? cline in the raw material till the mid ile' of the month, when suddenly a feeling of anxiety spread among cotton holders, and one of those unaccountable revolutions in public opinion took place which are too common in this market. - Almost every one became an eager seller, and in about ten days the staple declined 1 Jd. per lb, representing a depreciation of about three millions sterling on the stock in port and amount afloat for this country. All Kinds of cotton were alike pressed. American was pro? fusely offered, and fell to 9Jd. and 9|d. for mid? dling uplands and Orleans, wiih occasional Bales even lower. Surat s, out of a late import of 60,000 bales, were run down from 9jd. for new Oomrawutteo to lid. and for old Dhollera from 8jd. to 7jd. Equally low. sales ore made to arrive, say at 7 td. for new Dhollera and Oomra wu tte e, April, May and June Bailing. The feeling was generally entertained that no solid resting place could be found short of 9d. ! for American and 6Jd. for fair Surat. The mar? ket has not been so much demoralized since the autumn of last year. In the past two days, however, a decided change for the better has occurred ; the low prices started business, and the declaration of stock, showing 29.000 bales less than the estimate, increased public confi? dence. . American c itton ha J improved fully Jd. from the lowest point, Burats afloat as much, but on the spot only id. per 16. In concluding- this review, it should be re? marked that one considerable failure has occurred m the cotton trade, occasioned by the late decline, and others are apprehended, chiefly among buyers of Stunts to arrive. Vast quantities of them were sold at 9Jd. co lOd. per lb., and seem likely to result in heavy loss to the buyers, many pf whom are little able to bear it. This circumstance has had a good deal to do with the panio feeling lately exist? ing in our market. In glancing at the prospects of our market, the first point to be considered is whether the recent decline was justifiable or not; it certain? ly came in a most unexpected manner, and gave a great shock to confidence. It is worthy of note, that no new feature in regard to sup Ely came to light during the past month; we new at the beginning of July all that we know at the beginning of August; the great amount of East India cotton afloat, which ex? cited so much apprehension lately, was all known by telegraph a month ago, and yet there were then confident buyers of distant ship? ments at 8Jd., whereas a few days ago the best price obtainable was 7d., and many were afraid of a fall to 6d. per B. The only fact brought to light during the month of July was the extreme weakness of Manchester; buyers of goods- would not take off at remunerative prices the production made oat of American cotton at lld. to ll Jd. per lb., and in consequence manufacturers nad to re? duce their pnces to a point' that tempted busi? ness-that point was about 1 Jd. per lb. under the prices ruling a month ago. We incline to think that the excessive weak? ness of Manchester vas chiefly the natural re? coil from the exaggerated speculation that pre? vailed at the opening of the year, when Ameri? can cotton was pushed up to 13d. per lb. There is no reasonable doubt now that this advance was excessive and uncalled for, and upon re? trospect it seems extraordinary that public opinion should then have been so unanimous in looking fur 13 J. per lo. The effect of these inflated prices was to close the natural outlets for goods. The retail buyers both at borne and ibroad refused to replenish their ste eis at such exorbitant prices. Foreign markets never re? sponded to the advance in Manchester, and so when the speculation in cotton subsided, the manufacturing interest was left in a wretched state. Their hands were full of dear cotton and lear goods, and they never could free them? selves of these till a ruinous loss had taken Slace. This state of things destroyed conti? ene o, and led to exaggerated views of the probable decline in prices; the pablic mind, as ?B its wont, rushed from one extreme to an atkttvand those persons who had been believ? ers in Rd. came to think 9d. scarcely a safe price. We incline to think the late panic was exces? sive and unreasonable. The scale of prices now ruling is very different from thosa of April, and we seo no reason why the consumption ot cot? ton at lOd. for mid-uing American should not be kept up at? full figure tor the remainder of tho year. The news coming from tho Calcutta and Bom? bay markots about goods is decidedly encoura? ging; tho vast exports from this side in the spring mouths are now arriving, and aro being readily taken off without any decline in price, notwithstanding tho depressing news from this side. Thia proves that ino consuming power sf the : o great markets has not boen overstrain? ed, and as tho shipments for some months past aro moderate, there soams a likelihood of better prices beiog established in India later in the year. We believe that at the prices now roling in Manchester there v. ill be a continu? aos good demand for the East. It may be said, however, that a similar good demand pre? val led during tho latter half of last year, which did not prevent American cotton declining to ld. in December; but wo believe that the home ind European demand will considerably exceed that of last year as soon os cheap food acts on the laboring population. All throughout the' continent of Europe the crops this year are ex? cellent. There is Jess political uneasiness than there was last year, and manufacturing trade aught to be, and will most probably become, moro active than we have seen it for a consid? erable time. Furthermore, it ought to bc re? membered that the decline in prices last year went to a most unroasofiablo extent, and was owing to an extraordinary concurrence of cir? cumstances that is very unlikely to occur again. As soon os confidence ie re-established, there must bo a great development of tho export de? mand for cotton. Spinners on tho Continent liave bought amazingly little for a long time, find have, we believe, completely exhausted their holdings. The stock in Havre is but 33, JOO bales, agaist 98,000 last year, though there is an excess of that afloat (taking Amanean ind Surat together) of 61,000 bales. This sun ply is almost the only ono open to tho Conti? nent till December, excepting our market, and we have no doubt that a large and continuous export demand will be experienced here for some months. Should-our manufacturing districts be put upon full time, and the export demand simul? taneously revive, the off-take from this mar? ket would reach 65,000 to 70,000 bales per week, and it would be felt that our supply waa little enough for the remainder of tue year. From America the accounts of the growing crop continues good, and pablic opinion Boom a to be leaning towards a yield of two and a hall millions ot bales. We find, however, that nearly all competent judges consider that there is a smaller area under cotton than last year ; many think from fifteen to twenty-five Eer cent, less, and therefore we think it is azardons to calculate on a yield much greater than last year. 1 ho crop, no doubt, is looking well just now, but the prospect might be en. tirely changed before two months are over. We have seen in each of the two yeats a dis? position to overrate the crop at this period, and a great revulsion of feeling afterwards, and spinners would do well to Dear this in mind m making contracts for future delivery. It is evident that if any serious accident befall tho growing crop tho face of this market would be entirely changed, for there aro no reserves of American cotton to fall back upon, and a few weeks of aolive demand would run e x>cks alarmingly low. In America tho scarcity of cotton is une:tam pled at this season of the year, the best proof of which is that prices are about four or five cents above the parity of cur market. American spinners have run themselves en? tirely out of stock, and will be eager buyers of the oarly arrivals, and therefore we doubt if any supplies of moment can reach this market before Decomber. From India the exports are now very tri? fling, say 46,000 balas from Bombay to all Eu? rope in the first three weeks of July, and from ill we can learn, we think they will continue pery small to the remainder of this year.
