MAY. neem ‘SATURDAY 3 MORNING, Gorrosi—The staple article of the Rebs e] States. .Cottun has to be planted betore the first of April. to obtain a crop. The planting seaton is, therefore, passed, and so has been plunted this year in the ‘Bouth, “probably fot much more than will suffice for the wants of the rebels thesnselves. "Phe uncertainty of getting wotton to market, “the inroads of Federal troops likely to occur, ‘the danger from guerrilla bands, and the re~ quests of the State Legislatures that the people devote themselves more particularly to raising articles of food, all tend to limit the planting of cotton ip the insurrectionary States. The supply of cotton for some time to come is. theréfore, going to be limited; for” *gdpt Brazil, Peru and Central. Amerien, must of neressity be quite small, and with the exception of that coming from Peru, of a poor quality. “Phus, our people must count ‘upon paying bigh prices for cotton goods for years to come. Peace, if declared to-mortow, would throw enough of the raw material into the market to lessen the price con-. siderably, but it will require two or three years at beat to: bring down the prices of cdtton fabrics to their old standard. The hest optton Jands in the world so far as actual trial has developed them, are in the land of Dixie. But the boundless regions lying on the Amazon and ite tributaries, if the statements of Fletcher and others are to he relied an, are capable of producing the best varieties of cotton, and in quantities. to sup» some years to come, the labor to produce a great supply. The civilized world {a unitedin putting down the slave trade, without which the Amazon valley is ‘Tot likely to be rapidly supplied with » pepulation. : . The war with rebellion is going to be ‘waged till the the Uni.n of the States.is ro ‘stored, and-every negro slave will be a free . ‘adn before pence is declared’ No matter what the result of the contest may be, one thing is sure, slavery will cease in all the Pouricau-—The Union State Convention. . ‘assembles at Sacramento on the 17th of June, about @ mopth jheneé, for the parpose of nominating an entité Btate ticket to be sup= ported, by the people at the September election, Thus fat there-has been little stir among the political elements, and it is hard 6 tell what the aspiring ones are about. —A few candidates have been named for sever~ al offices, bit we cannot see that avy efforts have yet been expended i in favor of any one . ofthem. Tt is time we have heard of « com. binations. effected; and federal sppointees starting out on électioneering tours; bit aotb= . ing has yet disturbed the pleasant serenity of this region. It isto be hoped that the delegates who go to Sacramento on the 17th of the coming month,.will-take their seats in the convention unapledged, and in a frame of mind conducive'to sound deliberation on. the ‘gtate of the country, and on the capacities of men to fill the various responsible positions. Politicians ought not to “put up”-a ticket as fs usnally tfie custom. The pedple phould: be heard:as much as possible id our conven tions. When we hear of combinations to eleot this or that mao, it is the part ef prudence to examine aud see whether the report is well founded, and if it should be fotind true, thepeople ougtit to take matters in their own hands and leave tricksters out in the cold to. learn better manners. A few men have generally had their own way and ruled the State, making the body of the people subservient to their purposes. . The same complaint was made among the exclaimors of 0! tempo ra; O! mofts in ancient Rome,and perhaps it will be heard for alleoming time. We¢an only say what would be desirable, but if the depravity of haman nature militates with exact justice we can only give our views and let things take care of themselves. fr The parson returns to hie vomit again. He is incorrigible. We have preached to him of bis Wicked ways, but he seems to be hopelessly given over to fiardness of heart and blindness of mind. Oh! the evil of humun depravity ! _ We said we had ninety-four paying adver‘tisements exclusive of “legals,” while the Journal had sixty-two dead-heads and all.— We said we have twenty-eight town advertisers which the Journal had not, while the Jéufnal has bué ten that we have not. The parson mierepresenta by saying we said “the The disarrangement of society which tho wat in several ways will produce, will tend to cotitract the supply of cotton for several years, Men. edo thia, and are practical. ly at work dtinGlating the growth of cotton and substitutes for it in countries not exnot congenial to the growth of the articles. Califotnia should liave offered aome induces metits, through her late late Legislature, to enbourage the growth of fibrilid on the watm and rich: bottom lands of out ritets. United. State is o.well adapted to the growth of cotton as California: The only serious obstacle is the high price of labor, But hands can be hid for twenty-five and thirty dollars « month, of say, three times the rate in the cotton States. If cotton could be profitably grown at six'and ten cents a pound in the South, certainly it ought to be profitably ptodticed here, now, when cotton rates at from fifly to sixty cents a pound. We wish the State Legislatdre had offered great eticouragement to plaiit cotton and te Tie RaLkoap Vore.—Calitornia, or at least, a part of the State, has shown by votes that she js willing to do something. in aid of the Pacihe Railroad. Placer, Sacramento aiid San Jonquin have voted to ap= propriate jlarge amoiints to assist in’ the construction ofa great national wotk. It is _asit should be. The State has been clamoriug for twelve yéara for the Pacilic Railroad, asa work necessary for her defense and prosperity. The counties above nam~ ed have givén ati arndst of their sincerity The vote in Placer has surprised some of the moat sanguine of the friends et the railroad.

He resorts to subterfuges, and imisrepresents our statethents in maty” particu. lars. Fof instance We wrote the following item : The pateon is emphati s manly eth Wonder ithe calla dates pect a caowd to broil three hours in a Fourth of July sun listening to a common place speech ? The parson says in reply “he charges us with falsehood, and proves it by saying something about a ‘three hours common place speeeh.”"’ Now we did not chatge him with lying in that dontext, nor did we attempt to prove it in any such way, and the parson knows it!” By comparing the abave quotations from both papers we convict the parson of misrepresentation. Can he deny it? Wedid charge him with falsehood io other contexts, and he will have to stand the refute it. Dut we have not room to ex post all the parson’s tergiversations, and he is not Worth the powder any how. “CasTINe” writes that when McClellan marching orders 180,000 men, but when he reached South Mountain, he had lost by posttiétain came of he had but 108,000 men. crushed the enemy being held back.
