There is one fact pretty generally known on this side of the Atlantic, which is a short crop, and in the face of that, it is folly for the spinners of.Manchester and specul.ntors of Llydrpool to carry on the contest with holders on this side. There never has been a seasion in the commercial history of this country, when \ye have been better able to carry our cotton 'crop tlian this, and the lords of the loom in England will soon find that they have made a CTeat mi-lake in their efforts to force us to sell. They have heretofore succeeded in depressing prices for this great staple product whenever they have made an effort to do so, and have supposed that the power was still in their hands. They will soon discover their mistake; and if they do not have to pay for their temerity, we will give it op, and let them rule prices hereafter without opposition. J The three great regulators of prices for Cotton io the Liverpool market are Baring, Broth' * ers & Co., Brown, Shipley & Co. and Fielden, Brothers & Co., the last exercising the greatest influence, and in ability decidedly superior to the others. Their agents are found in every Soethern port in the country, and, as a class, are remarkable foe their fidelity to English in- | tereals, 'i'ho Eieldeus are the largest Cotton manufacturers in the wo Id. Their commission biisni'ess in Liverpool, immense as it is, is subo.?: ..a,.intoroct Sltnacs entirely uj mt-n iiiauiHuviu...^ ? at Manchester. These houses have ruled supreme hi the Cotton market, and have put prices fur the raw material up orduwu at pleasure. Tilis veer they have received a check that will learn Ihe.u a lesson. Their sceptre has departed, a id from this time forward prices will depend more upon supply and demand, than upon the dictum of a combination of the immense wealth of a few houses in Lu rponl. What we have lu en so long and so anxiously looking for is upon the point of being realised. The ' * " ' ? mi Hiic LOllOl! Ct'Op IH'f'L'iUa'r win i;c wiuiuuvu ?m. side of (he Aliunde, and Nciv York will he the grout tlisi Uniting point of the raw material, instead of Liverpool. The consumption of Cotton in this conutry lias become so great, and is p-ogic.- dag with :>o much rapidity, that prices for any surplus that we may have for shipment, v.il! not d- nend entirely upon the whims and cap'ices of the spiimeis < Manchester. The markets oftireat Criiain wilt not he so important a* iii past years, ami as our shipments become more direct to the points of consumption in Ku'rope, we shall he better able to establish and maintain prices. Our manufacturers already consume half as much Cotton as those of r?un tlio r-itin of increase here is much greater than on tlie other side, and liie produetton ofthe raw asaferial cannot keep pace with the increase ia consninption throughout the world. We have shown that, under the most favorable auspices, a crop of two million six hundred thousand bales is as much as can he picked, and the annual consumption already reaches that quantity, it, therefore, .appears plain, that the movements in the Cotton market, lieneeforth. are likely to he highly important and in!*.-;"; ting. The course pursued in previous years, l?v the tim e houses above mentioned, lias been adopto*l this, but not with equal success; in fact, tliis year, with de feat, out and out defeat, which will result in a conijiloto route, The policy heretofore lias boon to lot juices up in the fall, so as to -ring the croji from its recesses to increase the supply as rapidly as possibly in the ports, audi determine, at tiio earliest moment, the production for the year. As soon as this operation lias had full ell'ect, and the extent of the supply is known, the reverse movement is resort* - ' to, for the purpose of depreciating prices, tu em! io spinners and these large houses to lay in large stocks. All kinds ol reports are eii c:ij .!

On change, these houses rc-ori to cu-iy kind ofsubterfuge to convey tSto i' ljH'osl'in that tin* crop will 1h> much J argot* than believed. They ta|k of advjces received !Vn;n tin ir nm-t reliable correspondents tlivt t!:? crop is die t?? be 2,1100,000 to 2,100,000 b.?k . In tliis way,and by till! most dishonorable, despicable means, tiiey almost invariably succeed in breaking down the Liverpool market, knowing the eii'ect of a depreciation in prices tiiere upon the markets of the United Slates, i bis game has been practised this j year, and the energies of three houses above mentioned have been exerted to their utmost to break down the markets of this country, so that they could lay in a full supply of the raw material for -pinning and lor .speculation. All,however, has been of no avail. Holders here have been to ? well posted up, and in the command of liu iliiios for carrying cotton, to give these houses tbe slightest chance of success; and t'in.-.e dependi >g upon future purchases for supplies for iiiaiiufaclufing purposes, will pay dearly for their procrastination, It is the impression in England, produced 1 principally by the statements of the great spec- i ulators, that the crop this year will reach 2,- i 300,000 bales at least, and that the Yankees \ are humbugging them by reporting a crop of 1 only 2,090,000 bales. They believe that we i have a larger supply of cotton than represented, i that tve are holding it back to put up prices, and that it is only necessary to keep quiet, to keep out of the market, to force holders here to disgorge. In all this thev are doomed to dire disappointment. 'J'he obstinacy of holders here . ;-i? a.. ?if T.ii'omnnl and asionisuvs uivgii-ui>bii|niuiici> v. ? ?, the large spinners of Manchester, and well it . may, for it is a feature connected with this trade never before known, but one that will hereafter be visible every year. Capital is ip- { creasing so rapidly in this country, and we are consuming so much of our crop of cotton, that 110 fears need be entertained herealter that re- ' numerating prices for the raw material will not bo realized. It will hereafter be in vain for the manufacturers of C<rent Britain to put large lots of cotton upon the Liverpool market, for the s purpose of depressing prices, as the Fieldens > were doing at the last accounts, and the result < of recent efforts will teach them not to attempt 4 the like again. ; These Cotton lords have bled our planters , long enough, and we have borne their efforts to | depreciate the value of this product patiently , and with little murmuring. The tables now are . turned, and we shall see if Manchester does not pay enough this year to make op for a portion 1 of what they have taken from us in years past, 1 by low prices. The tone of the circulars re- J cently received from Liverpool from the three i great houses, shows how annoyed they have I been at the obstinacy of holders in this country, < while those of American houses in Liverpool, such as Washington, Jackson, Sons and Co. have been in quite n different vein. The English houses having shown their hand, the thing sticks out too plainly to be mfsunderstood.? There was no necessity for sneering at " short crop," as it was known pretty early in the season that the yield would be but moderate, at the best The time has arrived for us to dictate to the spinners of Manchester what prices must rule,and if they do not choose to pay what we ask for the little Cotton we have, they have but one alternative, and that is, to shut up their mills, while those in this country will continue . to do what they have been doing for some time past?run day and night Manchester was, at last accounts, nearly bare of stock, and holders of Cotton in this country know it; and if English spinners buy Cotton for the remainder of the season, lower than those of Lowell, we have made a very great mistake in our calculations. More than seven millions of dollars worth of Cotton are held in this market, and holders are by no means anxious to sell. They know, just as well as they Know mat wo mm two make four, that tliey have the power in their own hands ; that the spinners of Mauchestor are at their mercy; and when the contest cotues, they (the spinners) need expect 110 quarter, for they will get none. With a crop now coming to market nearly four hundred thousand hales less than anticipated in England, and the prospects relative to the new crop exceedingly unfavorable, holders 011 this side of the Atlantic can dictate their own terms. As we remarked at the beginning, the Ameiica, now due at Halifax, with two weeks' later intelligence from Liverpool, may bring accounts of a further decline, and she may bring an advance. One is just as likely as the other. Everything depends upon the advices which had been received at Liverpool from this country, previous to the departure of the Ameiica. When prices do take I a sturt upwaru, uiey wui go wiui u pim ?u?n. Correspondence ofllie Billtimore Sun. Wasiii.vcton, April 21,1050.

There is to be a public meeting to-night. Let all attend who wish to hear more 011 the subject. The Plank Road. We are glad to see that the experiment is being made?that the work has "commenced, and we are shortly to have ocular demonstration (on a small scale?not a fair specimen; 01 me practicability of a Plonk Road. The timbers are being laid, commencing from the public square, and will be carried down Main street, through Log Town, to the brow of the hill,as we understand; a distance of several hundred yaids. Our people will have an opportunity, to some extent, of seeing and judging for themselves. We opine their verdict ...;n Ku ir. Atrrtr nf itio cclipmc. We earnestlv will W 114 iu> V? V* kUV UW..W...W. - - ? J liope this may not be all. We need a Plank Road to North Carolina; and we trust the enterprise and ambition of our people will carry the work on, until the whole arrangement is consummated? until the Road is built. The interests of the town of Camden, and the up country, demand it?the salvation of our interests, in a business point o view, imperatively requires it. With a plank road to Camden, we may not care for Columbia, wit! all her iron arms, grasping or trying to take in all the up country, and cut us entirely off. Cheraw will have no showing by the side of us; for without any " secret, underhanded attempts on the pari of the citizens of Camden," the Plank Road will do ti,<i wnrL- With such a road, we mav verv rea sonably expect a large increase to the trade of our town;?without it the contrary must inevitably be the result. No reasonable man can expect that the trade or business of a town or city can increase when so inany obstacles lie in the way. IIow much of the time this season have our market roads been in such a condition as to render them next to impassible. Our farmers will hardly Iuj u'itlinfr another season to undergo the fatigue ww O ^ w and expense of marketing their produce to Cainden, if better ways are not made. We hope our people may be induced by all the circumstances around them to " mend their ways," and that speedily. It is true, even if we do not have a Plank Road or roads, there may be a few cotton bags for our merchants to scramble over; but tin's is not what we want. We want our streets filled with wagons, and those wagons filled with produce?that which will give life, spirit, and energy to our town. Meteorio Stone from Union County, N. U.

I ivill begin with what is called the New England | States. They were originally settled by the i 'uritans, who had no rational ideas of rcpubli- ' san principles. They were Religious Fanatics, " * 1 * A fill md opposed aU law ana government mat uiu ; lot Buit their notions of religion, as witness the j allowing flotations from their Lluc Laws: j no one shall he a freeman, or give a vote, unI'ss he he converted, or a member in free comlunion in one of the churches in this dominion/' li uid again, "no woman shall kiss her child on :he Sabbath or fasting day," and strange as it nay appear, vet it is no less true, that the same >piiit of wild fanaticism has continued among bat people until the present time.

This may seem strong language, but their history will well warant its use. What is their present position in the moral world ? It is briefly this: robbery, rapine and murder are every-day occurrences in their cities. Slavery of the most degrading kind exist iu rrll their factories.

THE FLORIDA INDIANS?ARRIVAL FROM INDIAN RlVfilL Tlio steamer Monmouth, from Indian Rive-, Florida, arrived at oar port on Saturday last She brought a number of passengers, including several officers of the army in Florida. We have not obtained much news by this arrival, but sufficient to satisfy us, in connection with news direct from Tampa, that the Indians have deter* mined not to remove neaceably. Billy Bow Legs has evacuated his town with his followers, and with Sam Jones, has retired into the southern extremity of the Everglades, where they are perfectly secare from the operation of the arid v during the summer. We will add an extract from a letter from a gentleman in Florida, well acquainted with the movements of the Indians and the army, since the first outbreak. " " Geu.Twlggs i3 a first rate man?-bat the fndinns won't go. They are making fun of the gentry sent to remove them. The Indians never intended to go. They are smart and are fooling the army. General Bow Legs is some.
