want tho energy of a Yankee character to

of life and spirit, and prompt them on to improvements.
As it is here now, it is Old

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. In other descriptions the?;'
imports were 267,000 bales, against-236,000
bales, an increase of but 31,QOO bales.

135,490 bales or an excess of 40,940 balea/
The consumption of American Cotton haa
been 1,089,000 bales, against 782,000 bales
last year, or an increase of 317,000 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

of the probabity that Great Britain would
be enabled to rcceive her supplies of Cctton
from' India, Egypt, &c., and these accounts
have been often nsed to depress and break
down the prices of 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.

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

of tranquility to Europe. Money is
