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

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.

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. Let cousumfera of Tea everywhere
look at what we have doe. . -
j. We were the first to send tlsn Teaq that
used to be called too good for them before.
2. We have driven out of the market a vast
amount,of trash, and introduced a better class of
Tets than has yet ever been sold Importers
of Tea often come to ns to get for their own
rse, and for their friends, the hue qualitis they
can find no where else.
3. 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. XVe,are con
tent with 7 per cent. profit, instead of25 and
50 per dent. a la wholesale grocers .
An English Importer lately boastedto us that
lie could make more money by sendfii bld
Teas to the New York market than go6d e'af
We are resolved to overthrow tbisfaud,. .and,
