King Cotton Dethronod -A Now Amorioan Article la tho Market. The cotton States liavo founded all their political And commercial operations upon one idoa, Unit cotton is kino;, nnd that it rules the world. In particular have they imagined that France nnd Great Britain could not do without it, and this necessity would compel them Sooner or Inter to rr-.nr..ik tiin SnnlhHrn Cnnf..il..r. m .... acy. Tliey liave booted at the idea any hostile competition in the production of this article olse Ahero in sufficient quan tity and of adequate quality to supersede their own. But we imagine they are about to be undeceived, nnd that, too, in a most unexpected manner. We have seen nt the Chamber of Commerce the most beautiful specimens of flax cotton we have ever examined, which is actually tho product of our Northwestern States, nnd where it tirows in boundless extent, indigenous, cheap.'and to be had nlraostfor the taking. We ha to seen it in tho rough, we have'seen it after the lirst process, one of a tew minutes time; after the second, when t was carded, in the third, aftor it was spun, in t to fourth, when it a sumed the form of cloth of the most bentitifur texture, woven into the fabiics now usually mtnuftctured of the Southern cotton... After the third pro,. ce9S it cannot be distinguished in its ap-penrance from tho finest cotton. It has long been suspected that there were other vegetable libers which might be made as valuable as those of tho cotton plant, and many aro in use in various parts of tho world such as the vegetable silk or arvoro de painaof Stuth America, resembling cotton wool, but not having roughness cuoujfh in tho fiber to permit its being woven; tho pulp or vegetable silk of Otvoyce; the suunee of India, or brown hemp, the jetce from Madras, tho borasjus fiber from the palm truo coun tries, the jute from Hongal, now a rival of tlax and hemp, but limited in its use he cause it will not stand bet ig wot, vaiuus kinds of hemp and fl ix fibers those of Manilla, the aloe, coir, pineapple, China grass, l'ara grass, bast, tec. All these hnvo their U?e3 and their val ue, but the wooly covering of tho seeds of the gossypmm, or co'.ion punt, lm supplanted them all iu quantity, and quality and general adaptability to the w.tnts and comforts of the human race. None of the fibers of the other vegetable substnnces above uioatioaed, with the cxoeplion of fl.ix, have erer been turned so entity and cheaply to us'. This, which tho botanists call lir.um usitatissimuin, has been the chief competitor of cotton, but its preparation and manufacture tire effected by a process so tedious and oper-ose that very great ifLrta havo been made to xhorien and simplify it. j As lung ago hh 18211 a patent was granted by act of Parliament to a M i Lea lor a method of separating the tiber in two or three hours. In 1052-3 t Mr. Schenck invented a method fur preparing thu tibur in sixty hours, and the Cheva lier Cliuissen introduced, still later, n process by which the liber soaked in a solu tion ot the carbonate of feoJa and afterwards dipped in n weak acid solution. Ciime out broken up into its minutest di. visions, and in 'he form of flax cotton, and whin manufactured proved to have a stronger and finer texture than Ilia bi cotton, For some reaon unknown the discovery was not proceeded with; cotton still remained kini', but, wo believe, its downfall h at hand. On our great wentern prairies, nnd in a large part of Western Canada, there is a specits of wild flax, unknown to liotunisti formerly, which is indigenous, perennial, herbaceous nnd inexhaustible in quantity It was put to no use by the early settlers, except to make straw of it for litter, lio-cently the seed has been considerably collected for the manufacture of oil,. but still later its fiber has been found to be very valuable, and nov has assumed a mo-mentouumporlancd through the moans of a very simple invention. The stalks are placed in a cylinder and subject -d to an enormous prorsure of .high steam S'iO pounds to the inch. In less th n r.ix min utes the conteots are blown out or exploded, n.id the flax comes forth with the fiber divined up, and the husk or covering scattered into infinitesimal parts. It then resembles Codilla or low. It is next pass ed through cylinders armed with teeth, which hackle it and smooth out the fiber. It is then washed with nitric acid, and comes out as white as snow. It is then carded, drawn out into yarn, and is spun into thread precisely like cotton, and . is ready for the luom. Thus the old tedioui and unhealthy process of water-rotting U done away with, and so is that of bleaching, to perfect which chemistry has ex hausted itselt nnd large holds or lawn have been indispensable. This articlo-'Yben ready for spinning, can be afforded nt a uniform price of six cents per pound, and enough of it can be gathered wild though it will be much impttved by culture from our own prair ies, to clothe the worldwitu a fubrio ol the finest and most durable quality. The experiments already made, and Hie mills already constructed to manufacture it have furnished the most conclusive evi dence of the truth of this magnificent discovery. Samples of the article-, nnd all its processes, have been forwarded to Jklau-chester, and parties are ready lo furnish as many bales of it as all the mills in England may demand. . I hns Providence seems to step in at a critical moment to destroy the value o! the stapels on which secession has placed its greatest reliance for its means of sup port and for the attainment of foreign alliances. Lst cotton be superseded by this better and cheaper article, and the Confederate States which grow this material will lose wealth, power and permanence, and be reduced to the greatest extremities. '. And, even if they should dra back from their present unjujt fiab'e position, in all human probability their re pentance will eome too Intt. N, Y. Post. Tho Diflloultios Enoountored by tho Governmont at Waskingtou. No ono can realize the amount of embarrassment which the Government has encountered fron the necessity of entrusting the execution of its ciders to nn Army an I Navy, almost half demoralized by ollicers ol treasonable sympathies. wiion it was decided to employ troops lor tlie 0fense of the Capital, Still Ofll Jrt IVO ftfli rnmn!.i!ii4 L.nA .inrna,! ' n of " " ""w -"""s '""6 " "m mi iitieni, iu niifiiiru ill inueil knowledge as posKi'a' le of the details, resigned, lo carry that knowledge into the camp of the enemy! When the Norfolk Nnvy Yard was found to bo in danger, orders wero dispatched from the Navy Department to havo all the vessels taken out. Ollicers at the Yard, Fecretly sympathising with Secesnion, first prevented the execution of the orders, on tho ground that it wns not necessary, nnd then resigned The Navy Uopartment on being apprised of this, instantly sent Commodore Paulding down to save tho property. But it was then too lito. All that could be do mi was to destroy it, to prevent its falling into the hnnds of the Secessionists, and that Le did effectually. When the Sevonth Regiment and the Massachusetts troops arrived at Annapolis, tho Capital was almost defenceless. A Quartermaster was ordered to go to Annapolis from Washington, to hasten their march, lie went ad was supposed to execute his mission, but instead of bringing in the desired reinforcements, cooly, at his leisure, brought in his resignation! When the River Steamboats were seized nt Washington for Government use, they wero sunt round lo tho Navy Yard to be armed for ssrvice. Immediately on their arrival, evtrv officer in tho Yard hut ono resigned, in order to stop the work! lliesearo but a lew pages out of the whole volume of unwritten history. At every step, for n while, tho Government was clogged and crippled by traitors, who drew their pay and affjeted loyalty so long as nothing was required of them, but who, nt tho critichl moment when their services were wanted, deserted to the enemy. But the active operations of the past few weeks, tnd the inexorable sterui.oss with which every officer is stricken from the Roll who has qualms about his duly, have purged the service. The Army and the N vy, at last, nre officered by men who arc loyal to the flan, and who, when they receive orders, will execute them. It gives us pleasure to publish tho fore going from the pun of Mr. Weed, of the Albany Journal, than whom few men are b tier informed. This puts the respon sibility of tho destruction of property at Norfolk upon Com. Paulding. Perhaps te can justify the net. Pittsburg Ga zette. Vt'hnt the Kditor of tlio Louisvillo Democrat Thinks. The Louisvillo Democrat of Sunday, says: Wo do not believe there is lo bo much fighting. The Federal armies, so much more powerlul in men ond resources, can seize point after point, and gradually encloso the whole Southern Slates in military. It is iiselrfS to attempt to keep up the idea that the Federal navy cannot blockado the Southern seacoast. Wo have thought it impracticable, but tho swiftness of action on the part ol tho government in securing vessels and tho very small numbor of actual ports notwithstanding the immense extent of tho coast, havo convinced us that wo were mistaken. Then tho land ports, and ports on the Mississippi, are all in tho oasy com in and of the government. They will be under no actual necessity for a bloody invmi n. Tlio South can no in nre bo overcome by invasion than Russia by the seizure of Moscow, but when the potts of entry are all soized, her chief cities occupied, her commerce totally Kiueu, wo may expect that though a govern ment nioy continue to claim allegiance for a time, it will eventually fall to piece.i for tho best of reasons: it has failed to carry out tho design lor winch it was adopted. Tho U States officers, not suddenly, but by degrees, will begin to assume their functions hero and there in the South, and tbe States to act i harmony in such manner that no one will be able to tell exactly when the Union was en tirely reconstructed.

A correspondent tells this lather adamantine story i J ho other day a Methodist clergyman went to exhort them. Billy Wilson drew bis men up nnd called "attention!" The parsoa thea gave them a very edifying and appropriate discuurso, te which, in obedience to the Colonrl's commands, they listened attentively. When the parson had finished, Billy gave the "boys" a short talk, somewhat in this wise: "Boys, I want you to remember what tho minister has told you. It i rll for your good : take his advice, and follow it; for tnero ts no knowing but what m less than six months every U-d one of you will bo in n ill" Here a voice from the ranks called out, "Three cheers for h II !" and they were given with a will.

The Legislatures of some of our States havo already recommended our fanners to plant tiiis year extraoidinary quantities of gram and gr.184. We hear liom various points that this ha) been and is being done. Nothing should bo neglected which will help to make the staple articles of fund abundant during the next two years. Our (armers should not only plant lnrire crops of wheat ami coin, but they would do well lor them selves and fur their country to cultivate, to greater than ordinary extent, certain other crops, thu products of which are largely con-sumed by soldiers and sailors, Iteans ond peas, dried, form an important portion ot tho army and navy ruiions. They ate only second in importance to bread and meat, and as bolus to a healthy variation o1 food, aid of necessity. Largo quantities of theso articles will lo needed for unity provisions, and it is vet tim) for our larmers to prepare themselves to supply this demand. Also, the larmers throughout the country will do well to reserve their calves from the butcher' knifo. This is a point ot great importance. With a largo army to support we cannot too carefully look after th" supply of beef. Wo suggest to our agricultural societies to make some immediate and general action in this matter. Many thousand calves aro sold and killed every month in this coun try. Our farmers will find ic profitable to raise nil the increase of their herds durin; the presentycar at least, and this is a matter of prudence, by which patriotic stock raisors nnd cattle owners can do very much to help tho cause ol the tmon, lor which our brave soldiers have gone to battle. Huy, also, should be saved as much as p is-J sitilo. It is an nrticlo much needed in all campaigns; nnd there is little doubt that tho operations of the rebels h&ve been embarrassed by tho hick of it. Tho South has ulways drawn its supply of hay from the Northern and Eastern States. Throe mouths ago there were n.l f.vo hundred hales ot hay in thu States held by Iho tnutinue.s. Great armies cannot bj moved without numerous teams, and probably tho la k of hay was one not unimportant reason lor a Certain slownsss of movement on tho part of the rebel army, which has surprised our people and now alarms Iho traitors in Virginia. Rebellion will not tiiueiph for lack of patriots to dispute its progress and put it to llight from the land. But nn army can do nothing without supplies; anj it must bo the care of those who remain at homo to spare no paii.ia to provie.o tno cscessary supplies for our brethren who aro doi 'g battle lor the Union, livery bushel of corn, every barrel of Hour, every big of peas and beans, every tierce of beef and pork, every halo if hay, that can be added to our crop this year should be raised. NT. Y. Eve. Post. Virginia Hews. Tbe Tribune's Washington correspondent says a Senator high iu the confidence of the Virginia patriots nriived here today from Wheeling, through Harper's Ferry. He reports 4,000 troops there, badly nrmad, equ'.nped nnd provisioned, and not formidable, lie says Northwestern Virginia will form a State embracing sixty cotinti' s, in which tho Union feeling is nearly unanimous. There is no probability that the wees-siouits will invade from Harper's Ferry until a forward movement is made by the Government troops. TheJ Virginians greatly desire to as.sum the dofensivo.

There is some misapprehension in the pob' lie mind aa to the ability of Northern troops to make a canipiign tu tht warm latitudes during the hot season. It is generally supposed that our troops will have to re mi lit perfectly qmoscent throughout the aurnmir solstice, and content themselves without 00 cupving positions up n the bordors of th Southern rebellious States. This rosy ke the policy ol the General Government, but it is by no means a necessity ariini from obstacles inherent and InsuruiountabU becauss of the section of country Irom which oor troops are drawn.
