The moment the horse hears the whiz lie slops perfectly still and braces himself sideways, waiis for the shock. The other end of tlie las^o is fastened to the front peak of the saddle, the bullock la brought up suddenly and tumbles to the ground. The horse being perfectly prepared uis equilibiium is not disturbed.

We want tho energy of a Yankee character to rouse the people to action, create a newness of life and spirit, and prompt them on to improvements.

The Charleston Mercury of the 5th inst. says : The detailed accounts received by the Europa, confirm us in the opinion advanced in ouf lust publication, of the probability of an advance in the prices of Cottun, The imports of American Cotton to Dec 15, were 1,200,000 bale#, an increase of 415,000 bales.

[n other descriptions, the consumption has been 219,000 bales, against 233,000 bales, or a decrease of 69,000. The deductions and inferences from the foregoing facts are highly in regard to the prospectsof American Cotton.

But the facts adduced by us above, prove most conclusively that these statements and expectations are idle and deceptive, and that it is from this country alone that Great Briuiin must look for her supply of the raw ma tcria). In this respect she is .absolutely dependent upon us; and talk as she may, and uct as,she can, she cannot shake off this depb'idenM, . It is permanently fixed pp. on iikr, v; In this aspect of affains. how should the prices of Cotton remain at such low rates as to be ruinous to the productor of it, and only profitable to the manufacturer? Th?re is neither reason nor propriety in it. The intelligence fronvthe Continentjndicates a return of tranquility to Europe. Money is abundant in England,* and to be placed at a credit at 2 oer cent.
