Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Oct. 30. The plan of the Southern Disunionists, as just exposed, is to hold back the Cotton crop, which has already been drawn on, and refuse to let a single bag be shipped to England. The result will be, as they suppose, a drain of specie and a general financial crisis. Hon. A.R. BOTELER, of Virginia, brings intelligence from New-York to-night that New-Jersey is safe for Fusion, and that the chances are against LINCOLN in New-York. A letter from Hon. A.H. STEPHENS, declaring that if the Union endures the principles of DOUGLAS will survive, is published in the States this evening.
