A mo<t extraordi nary perversion, truly, of a correct principle, Hi luld mi acceptance, or in fact to circulate it, and at the same time to appropriate the produce cit h??r-in ils valuation or in any other way. Of this perversion of principle it is ?piite unnecessary to point out the danger. Cultivation of Cotton in Algeria. The, Washington Union thus comments upon the difficulties which attend the visionary nt tempint cotton culture in Algeria: Our readers are aware that the French government.has for many years contributed iiniiiese funis of money in aid of experiments con ducted undec the immediate supervision of competent- official*, and with a view to the extensive cultivation of eoltoii in Algeria. These experiments have hitherto led to no satisfaetory results of n permanent character, notwithstanding the extravagant pecuniary premiums annually granted'by the Emperor from bis privy purscto the most succesoful cultivator*. < -liriiate, soil, hnd the insuperable natural dif lieulties in the way of supplying artificial irrigation arc the most formidable obstacle* to the realization of even temporary success; and yot even these seem incapable ?>f opposing the perfevotntiec and enterprise with which our Gallicau neighbors push forward their cxpen mvc aim unrecjuiuiu experiments. A<lvices fruit) Piu is of a recent tlatu informs us that, i'rincc Napoleon, in his capacity of Minister of- Algeria, in spite of all these drawbacks, intends t<? set npnrt anuuiilly the sum <if$ln,00i>, t" 1?? ii'l <led to the Kmpcror's premiums, ns rewards t?> I ho deserving. Already there are in Algeria several -experts from o r own colton-jjrywing States, whose nanu s wo shall doubtless soon see included in the list of successful compel itors if success can be attained rrm for a scn-.ou. / Gold vs. Cotton.

Our Foreign Trado. Tlio Washington Union draws some very in toresting conclusion* from tli-j recent article of ; the ./<wir?'i' of Comim-rct: upon the foreign trade I of the country, showing the iiii|i'irtau^o of tin; 1 cohl riliiit ion? Iroin the South. j During tin; past year of convulsion and pivsi sure, while tin; foreign exports declined in t In: i enormous sums of ?"? l.O'lil.tKHI, and the imports ! iu the sum of $*<4,0(10,001), the exports ofcoi.toii remained almost at '.lie same figures, IxMiig | yl:U,.?7o,S.VJ for the year ending Juins 1S."?7, ! and $i:;i,:>Sr>,0Gl for tho year 1808. The fall 1 ing oil' in our exports was exclusively in tlie 1 : products of free labor, wlii 1st there was no tie- i ' crease ill llie exports of Slave labor. The exports of n country are I lie basis of its foreign ; triule, the free soil party in their oirirre-tsions upon slave labor striken blow nt the comnici- j ' eiaj greatness of the country. j The proportion which Southern export* bear J to the whole of our foreign exports will np- j ! pear-from the following statement: The total ! 1 exports of the domestic pro.luco in the Inst lis- , ] cal year were $241,351,033 of which slave la- i | bor furnished ? 1 " 'i,000,000; leaving only ?65,- ; 0u0,0(f0, as the product of free labor. Thcso facts establish the assertions of South- i ern statesmen that the foreign coiiimerce of t he ! i Union rests upon the staples ami labor of the ! South. j Oommorce of the United'States. * ! | The N ow York Journal of Commerce of Thurs- j dav In3t. presents its usual annual statement of 1 tbe-Foreign Commerce of the Uuitcvl Stales, for the Inst fiscal yeur : The toful imports for the year 18.*>7, w?TO . . . . ?282,013,150 TIic to till exports for the year 1857, were . 8*24,644,421 Showing nn access of e\portso?er imports of $ 12,031,27U nu amount nhout equal to tiie oxj?ort3^f specie fqr the year : Tlio Jourital of Commerefrsays: "Included in the exports of ilouicalic produce for the year ^frtfrc $131,383,^01- v-nliie iicColton, njfftiusi $131,605,?69 for /lib proviousyear, n reinnrkriblu couiciderffee ofi^urM," . t O'rn Tf a and CoK^ftE.?riwi Washington cor*re?j/ondeiit ol[the New .York 'Courier and AV ipiirfr.. stafos that ttie Secretary of tli#Tr?Q*\i.., rv lias lUcided npon tho contents qfchia. rci>?rt. ^ndthn^q^otig-fris proposition *is tliatrdf a *ditiy of 84'pe^c?l?t; oprfh. tea and coffoe,; fconi wliioh b^exj^ects to realts* an <tii|j,ual. voViime of SS.'OOO.OQQ. .. n- t % TbW 8o>l1t|*n the 2.0*i? &*t., p*i^nrice*ij|{ Jt'S.
