y. From the Charlesunm Mercury. COTTON MANUFACTURES Al TlE SOUTH. The writer is fully awtare of the in quiry, put by way of objection, how i: the South to supply herself with manu facturing skill, and with operatives com petent for the performance of tie work at a rate of exponse, and with readines that would enable the South to competi with the North? With vastly more pro pricty a similar objection might have been raised in New England half a con tury since. She imported skill, in thi bbsiness, across the Atlantic, and ha since, from those beginnings, created he own skill and made her own opetatives The Sout!, is these respects, enjoy superior advantages. In the Northeri and Eastern manufacturing districts ma always be found a sufficient number u peisons well skilled in the manufactur of Cotton, whose set vices might be com manded in any part of the Union for trifling bonus over their custo.nary earn ing, to superintend factories, and giv all. necessary instructions to qualify oth ers to carry forward the operations From these the knowledge of the busi ness would extend itself, and thus th South would soon possess the requisit skill in abundance. To doubt the trut of this proposition would be to call i question the capacity of the Soutbearne to learn, or his disposition to acquir valuable information to make hinsel useful to himself and the community. As respects operatives, such as spin ners, weavers, &c, these can certain be no question that, in point c cost, the South has greatly the advantag over the North. At the North, a vat amount of ordinary household labor i performed by white females, which a the South is perfor med by blacks. Be sides-this there are a great many specie of manufacturing operations, from ito for Cotton, unknown at the South, ii which white females are employed. From such causes, the labor of female is in great demand, and the manufac. tures find it difficult to keep up thei supply of help. The labor is consequent ly dear. At the South, a different or der of things exists. White female cannot, without comparative degradation and impropriety, become se, vants an thus earn a livelihood; and if they did wages would be small. There is littl or nothing for them to do in any line t -manufacturing; and hence, they must; poor, either labor in the field, beg sufeli or do something else worse. it is b no means anl exaggeration to say, that n higher act of charity or benevolenc could 6e performed, than to giverespec table employment to the' thousands t such persons scattered over the South and how gladly would multitudes of ther accept , such employment, ata very mo d rat96 cmpensatidn, Thus would greatdeal.oflabor be appropriated, not woIrse than wasted, much wealth crew tid by it for employers, and confoi and comparitive happmess conferred o msiiy persons, who, no y destitute an miserable, must without somd suc means df employment, so remair From such, sources the South may con mand any quantity of labor required, a a cheaper rate than that at which it ca be procured in New England, and there fore- can ran cottornmills at a smallar ca pense, 'ButTI shall be tord that to all these per sous the business will be new, arnd the~ that head there is a difficulty. Iti presumed the business has beecn new t every body. There is not an opera tive in any mill in the world wvho ha not bad to learn. Well what titen? I the present simplified state of cnt toi machinery, to learn its managementi a very short and easy pocess. A fei months succes,untder competent over seers, to accomplish thu wortk. Witi sonmc hthf a dozen well quallified Per sons, as heads of the various de~pati meats, a company of operatises, wh never seen a cot toin spindle, will leatrt to perform all the ordinary dutics of tht mill about as well in six or eight mionth as in as many years- Iesides, wvhel you take a conmpany of persons entiref; unacquainted n ilh thte business, yol have the very desirable advantage o training them tup properly 1o it, an' without those habits of carelessness si cuommon with many exper iencedl hands ~While on this subject, permit muet say, there is a duty whtcht devolves oi every man in pussession of wealth, t use it in such a manner ats that, by si doing. he may benefit others, while I injures not himself. This is a auty wvhiel the man of philanthropy and publi, spirit will n ot hesitate to perform. Cer tain causes, eiter providential or oths erwise, operate to make a pottion u mankind the -keepets of wealth, whih another portion is left itn povet ty, witl no honest means of support btut the la bor of their hands. To ite we-ahhl it belongs, as a portion of the grea brothet hood, to devise measures, if pos sible to give employment to the poor, 1< enc'ourage and promote industry among them, to remunerate them with the means to make l~fe cnmfotrtablhe, and thu: to confer respectability on their labors, By doirng this, a vast amount of phaysica suffering and moral degradation miay be prevented, the condition of society mtuch ameliorated, and general itntelli gence diffused through the community. By such means are cities, towns, ant villages built tp.. By such means is the great mass of'wealth increased. -by such means is the march of improvement ac celeratedi. No" coauuity- can become treat and wealthy, "none 'ced become good and happy, iahout 'industry, and be who does most to encourage and promote it, confers the highest bene tit on himself and gihers.. B. Ti J. Obeying Orders.-A certain general of the United States army, supposing his favorite horse was dead, ordered an Irishman to go and skin hint. "W hat! is Silver Tail dead?" asked Pat. "What's that to you?"-replied the of ficer. "Do as I bid you, and ask no questions." Pat went about his business, and in an hour or two returned. "Well, Pat, whtre have you been all this time?" asked the general. "Skitning the horse, yer honor." "Does it take nearly :wo houts to perform such an oper ation?" "No yet honor; but then you see, it tuk 'bove half an hour to catch him." "Catch him! Fire and furies! was he alive?" "Yes, yer honor; and you know I couldn't skin him alive." 'Skin him alive!--did you kill him?" "To be sure I did; you know I must obey orders nithout asking questions." Young folks should be a little careful how they conduct :hnmselves before children, if they don't want to be told r on. A young gentleman residing in the f neighbouhood of Richmond, had occa sion, a short time since, to drive his pretty cousin Fanny, down to Windsor, in a gig. Little Charley, a brother of Fanny's, accompanied and sat between them in tie gig; but, as he was only t five or six yeats of age, he was consid s ered nobody. Unfortunately, however t the urchin had got a uew hat that very day, at which lie was exceedingly proud. sPinding on his arrival at Windsor, that it had sustained sonic injury during the journey. he rushed to his mamma to complain. "1 declare, mamma," he cried, "I'll never ride in a gig between sister Fan r ny and cousin George again." "Why so, my dear?" inquired the mamma. s "Because they've bruised my new hat all to pieces with leaning over me to kiss j each other, all the way from Richmond. GLENN SPRINGS, Spartanburg Dist., S.

WILLIAM; McEVOY. march 1 t 6 Cheat and s row rich. T HIS has been the secret principle of too many of the Wholesale Dealera:-in Tea up to this time, and they have ~ractised the must shameful imposition on the country mer. chant, without any fear of detection. But a new era in the-trade. has cote, an'd' the Pekin Tea Company claims the hrii?'of its introduction. They were the .first toxaise the Banner of Reform, on which it.has: nscribed the simple words, "PURE TEAS AT H:NEST PRICES." A complete revolution lis beet, tbeconse queuce.

We have reduced prices moithan 25 per cent. both in Black and Green Teas. The whole sale grocers say we are ruining the trade, and call us hlnmbugs. .Th ' .have done already, and now see what wo .ready to do. 1. We will sell Teas by the single chest, half chest, or 14 lbs. box, at the same. lprice that wholesale grocers pay to the iirporters when they buy by the hundred packages. 2. The wholesale grocers always allows 13 or 14 lbs. tare to the balf chest. This is a cheat! We will allow. in most instaness;15or16 lbs. tare on the same. 3. We hereby undertake to sell every kind of Tea from six to twelve cents per. pound ceica per than the wholesale grocers do. How can you do this?" asks the. country merchant. This is our answer.
