It is a momentous question whether the

sion of his ordinary faculties. The war
is marked by his usual hesitation, which
is attributable to the random aud pur?
poseless strategy and puzzling inactiou
which have probably brought calamity
i to the national arms. The Emperor is
I now bound to accept battle instantly, yet
he has on baud the task of circulating
! his forces and restoring esprit to a de

the future cotton market with great un?
certainty. Tho importance to tho coun?
try of this groot stople is clearly ovi
deuced in tho last report of the Bureau
