It will occur on the afternuvu of Iriday, August 27, The Cotton Supply. The 7imes to-day has an editorial articie on the @ubject of the cotton supply, wherein it says:— A curious aspect has (oat been given to the ques- ston of the cotton supply. Just a3 the associauon for promoting this object is holding us usual meeting a merchant writes us assert- ing that Manchester aioue 1s responsible for the scarcity it summers. With all its ealth, enterprise and confidence, it hay never vested a penny in # cotton field, The conclusion ofthe outside world obviously is that those who Know the most about cotton are convinced that cot- ton planting can never pay, Their caution acts on others, and cotton culture is discouraged. If the Manchester cotton spinuers would establish a cotton company With a large capital, employed in the heart of India, tings would be diferent; but they stand aloof, refuse to risk their money in the adventure, and when cotton comes to them drive it down to @ losing pout. ‘The association urges the establishment of a vast Cotton field in Ethiopia; but the recommendation, though interesting to growers, has liitie eifect to cause more cotton tobe grown. Mr. Cobden and his friends maintained that it was not the duty of the manufacturer to concern himself with the | apo but merely to oiler a sure and steady mar- et for the product. If india undersold America by @ farthing 4 pound on equal quality she would command the Lancasmire market. The true Policy of the manufacturers was to keep the Tiarket open and give the preference to the best comers, How these doctriues ended we eed uot say; but it is singular that the compiaint Of our corresponslent lends illustration to the argu- ment. He resents the practice of the manuiacturers in driving down the price. 18 it not natural for the buyer to cheapen the article? Doves not the remark gtrengthen the argument that the same people ought not to be buyers and sellers? fis figures state that the average Indian cotton formerly bring- ing four pence per pound now brings ten pence, aud it may be many years before it is lower than Seven pence. If this means that seven pence would remunerate the planter and satisfy Lancashire a mighty question may be near ita solution. Kemem- bering the cardinal question is the price, cotton tutta can be sold to the markets of the world, aud the money to ares gags the grower and spinner comes froin the pocket of the wearer. 111s useless to yw and spin if it cannot ve sold in quantity @nd at a price to remunerate all concerned. Up to bor time of the American war the conditions were ified. The South juced and Lancashire mauu- factured so cheaply that the article commanded the markets of the world, The native spinner always undersold. ‘The price of Indian cotton is now two and @ huif times greater than formweriy, which is enough to demolish the whole trade. No wonder the looms are idie. Cheap goods and dear cotior are tn- mpatibie, Until cheap goods are produced trade Sannot revive. If the average seven pence pays the Fre there 19 no reason Why industry should pot ive. Protective tariffs will not always prevail. Price spoken of will satisfy the consumers remunerate the producers, there is nothing to earns apeedy revival of production and con- Sdfption.

The Coming Election Campaign in Mississippi. Letter from Judge Dent to General Grant. He Protests Against the President Supporting the “Bitter End” Radicals. WASHINGTON, August 14, 1869, Mississippi Politica-A Review of the Radical Party at the South—Tart Letter from Judge Dent to the President. The following ts an extract from a letter written to-day by Judge Dent of Massissippi in reply to one received by President Grant the early part of the present mouth. President Grant, in the letter re- ferred to, gave his reasons for casting the weight of his influence in favor of the radical party in Misais- sippi, and it is to that part that Judge Dent repites thus:— Is it reasonable to suppose that a le hay the free choice of their Tepresentatives would clock for their rulers a class of politicians whose aggressive and hostile conauct hitherto has rendered them pe- rome Senoxioas, and Cee gerroatd This is the harge mad iy @ people o! 188456} a y the radicals, or ‘bitter-endera” as they dre eed ‘This charge 1s not made because they fougut against the South and secession, for many of that class fought on the side of the South It is not made because they are of Northern birth and education, tor many men ot Northern birth and education and of the Northern army are with us in antagonism to this obnoxious party. cause they are republicans, for their antagonists Were among the first in the Soutn to organize on the Trepublican platform and to advocate the ctyil and political equality or all men; were sent ag delegatcs to Chicago, and for their consistency and constancy were rewarded by you with offices of trust and honor. But this charge is made, as I have said be- because the proscriptive antecedents and aggressive policy of these politicians toward tne people of Mississippt have made them the objects Of peculiar abhorrence. That policy cons'sts not only in the cuntinual advocacy of proscription, but in preaching to the freedmen, ina time of profound beace, such revolutionary doctrmes as excite and direct against the White men of the South and their families a most dangerous animosity, such animos- ity, indeed, as, with a continuation of the same fuel, would inevitably lead toa black man’s party and a@ war of races. Neither are such doctrines preached with an bonest desire to ameliorate the condition of the freedmen or promote the ends of peace or strengthen the republican party in the uth, but solely to alienate from the planter tho time-honored confidence and affection of this race, in order that the new political element under the banner of republicanism might be entirely controlled and subordinated to their own purposes of power and aggrand:zement. And to thisclass of men, whom you fouled in their attempt to force upon the people of Mississippi the odious constitution reyected at the ballot box, you now give the hand of friendship and support, and spurn from you that other class, who, accepting the invitation of the republican party in good faith, came in mass in Virginia and Tennessee, as they wilt come in Mississippi and Texas, to stand upon its platform and advocate 11s principles. LEWIS DENT. Health of George Peabody. Tlearn from the White Sulphur Springs to-day that since his arrival at that place the health of Mr. George Peabody is much improved and his condition is generally favorable. He labors under a complica- tion of diseases consequent upon old age, requiring the utmost attention and careful treatment.

Adolphe Niel was born on the 4th of October, 1802, at Muret, in the Department of the Haute, Garonne, His parents, though of the middie ciass of society. were persona of standing and respectability, and possessea influence sufficientiy great to obtain his admission to the Polytechnic Schooi of Metz in 1821, after giving hima thorough education.

Of a proud, am- bittous temper, he almost detested the idea of any other surpassing him in the subjects which con- stituted the course of studies at the school. He consequently devoted himself with assiduity to his books, and so marked was his. success that at the time of bis graduation a brilliant career was pro- hesied for him. To what extent his after career uifiiied the prophecy the capture of the Malakott and his conduct at the battle of Solferino tell, HIS MILITARY CAREER. Marshal Niel obtained his commission as lieuten- ant of engineers in 1827, and became a captain in the corps in 1831.

His first step was to order the construcuon of concentric lines of approach toward the Malakoff, for the purpose of covering the advance of the troops when moving te storm the positions, The great skill with which these lines were constructed enabled the French to achieve complete success, something that could hardly bave attended their arms but for the great dong 4 Skill of the Mar- shal.

During the war in Italy, 10 1859, he commanded the fourth corps of the Army of the Alps, and was particularly distinguished atSolferino, After the peace ue was created @ Mar- abal of France. CIVIL CAREER. As a Senator of France and as one of the Cabinet Ministers of Napoleon the deceased became distia- guished for the vigor with which he defended the Policy of the Emperor. Asa speaker be lacked the suavity of Rouher and was not so ingenious as that qed statesman. He was, however, bold and cutting in debate, never failing to adminsscer a sharp casti- gation in words to the opposition, with the members of which he could barely maintain his patience. In spite of his veneas be was always careful not to Jeave himself open to assault for what he said. In 1867 he was appointed Minister of War, ‘which position he held at the time of his death. His administration of military affairs was characterized by all the vigor inherent in his nature. At the time of the contest between Prussia and Austria France was unprepared for war. The army was badly os a and without @ breech-loader. As soon as he assumed control of the War Uffice the work of placing the army on a war footing was com- menced, and ina little time it became, as it now exists, equal, if not superior, to any force at present In Europe, in point of @rms, and efficiency. Atthe recent ization” of the Emperor's Cabinet Marshal Niel was retained most conspicuous feature in devotion to the head of the French nation. The will of Napoleon was his law. Personal or constt- tutional government were abstract questions in his mind aside from the continued ascendancy of the Napoleonic dynasty, Had the Em- ror at guy time ordered him to sweep e streets of Paris with canister he would have obeyed with alacrity; and he would not have hesi- tated an instant to reduce the army to 50,000 men had ao order to that effect emanated from the same Never disguising his Prussia cendency in continental politics, and ardently favoring a trial of st th with that coun- try, he nevertheless quietly acquiesced in the de- if Nef inst war, It is more than Russia, Austria, but none who can equal the deceased in his peculiar talent for com: and ad- Buimissr ation.

Another circular has now been issued asking re- plies to the following questions:—Whether this con- gress shall be held in the autumn of 1870 orin the Spring or early summer of 1871, ana whether at Paris, London or Dublin. It 18 also requested that Lopes or questions should be indica! connected with criminal law reform or penitentiary or correc- tional discipline suitable for the consideration of the congress. The answers to this circular are asked for early, that they might be to nand before the 234 of next September, on which the executive committee of the association will meet again at their rooms in the Hible House in this city. This is all very well. but why confine the selection of the place for ihe meeting of this Congress to the three cities named ? Why overlook New York city?

With the present means of travel our metropolis is as much the centre of the world as any other city, and since the invitations for the Congress rine from here the proper place for it to meet is also here.
