SLAVE LABOR IN COTTON
F A C' ORIES.
" The Pei.sicols Gazette describes
the Arca-tia Cotton Factory, whicrh is
no. in ,c't.slful ,perati.', It is wir k
ed erti,:.nv by .,bive labor, row; twenty.
f-;mr loon is and turns out 1000 yards of
cotton per day. The protiem is hete
solved of the adequacy ofslave labor to
manufacturing purposes- The Gazett'
remarks that the cost of the raw neter ial
is the great element of expense in the
manufacturing of coarse cotton goods.
When cotton is worth 6 cents at Pensa
cola, it is worth , cents lard down at
Lowell. hiere is a dalere'nce, then, of
just one fifth, or twenty cents in the dol
lar. The Arcadia Factory will, when
completed, work up 1000 pounds per lay
Here is a clear saving of $15 per day in
the raw mat-tial alone, enough probably
to feed all the operatives engaged in the
work."
The South is growing wise. The
ruinous fluctuations in the price of cotton
in Europe, have opened the ey s of the
planters. They have become convinced
of the fully if depending wholly, upon
a foreign demand for their ce-at staple.
Periods in every year lind th-nem at the
nercy of the tnanufactureis of England,
F1 +nce and Germany. When most fires
sed for funds they are least able to oh
tain a fair price for their only saleable
commodity.
The heavy English dealers can gene
tally depress the market at pleasure; and
the experience of the past two years has
shown tint they are perfectly willing to
exercise their !power. Th. fct uations
within that poiod have resulted in a direci
loss to the cotton planters of more than
eight millions of dollars. These fluctu
ations operate, of course, most oppres
sively upon that large class wh]o are corm
pelled to sell, at any price. Those who
are strong enough to hold on to their
crops fare but a little better. There are
many millions of dollars' worth of cotton
now in store in the Southern pnorts,
waiting for better prices. Murbi of it
has been in store ever since the ingath
ering of the last crop. Even tho-ugh
Prices should improve a fraction b fue
the next season, the loss of interest will
probably swallow up advance, and more
too.
Theip most eflictual remedv is an in
creased hoMe market. In one small
port in Geer-i , there is ane millon of
dollars worth of cotton w:aiting an in
provement in prices. If, - iestoad of
being :hrns storf and depenuding upro
the- foreign demand for release, it had
1ect~u taken icito factorics six months
sin;ce, it. would long ago have bro:ight into
the State at least five millions of doliars!
It ,suens.:asabsurd -for the Soutb' to
send her cotton to Leeds or Lowell tobe
be worn by the panters themselves, as
itwudfor a faumer in Genesee to send
iswetabroad to be floured.
..England has acquired her greatness
and wealbh by manufacwi ing for the
world. Every dollar she pay-s for rawv
mete-rial is quadrupled by the home labor
exp)ended upon it.-The Georgia plante'r
makes his two or thrtee pe cent. upon
his cotton, and the English man-eficturei
his ten and twenty pier cent upon the
coimmidities which lie produces firtm it!
The duty andl policy- of the Souith upou1
this subject is as clear as sunlight. The
cotton fi,.ids are overstucked. The1
supply oef this ;;reat staiple has increased
ma'se rapi ily than ithe demand for it. If
one tenth of the labom ers emp1loy-ed it,
the cottotn fields we-re transferred to cot
ton factorics, the richest results woeuld
follow.
Events are now trainspirin2 which will
parobably hiav-ea t-ndency to still further
compel an examiina uion of this subeject.
A general war in Europe would lhave a
most ruinous i-li-ci uponi the cot tn
mnm het. Pr~ ices would ben iinsantaneously
depiessed so low as to produce gene-ral
bankruptcy a moug t he pla nte-rs of thle
South. Such ae r.-volutioit may not conie,
but theo very fart thamt it is possible-, sufli
ciently illustrates the wisdomn of lhose'
lhcalities at the South which ha;ve entered
upon the policy of wora king uap a p~oriioan
oC'the raw materialt u hich they proadue.
If this policy shtould become genes al-as
we cannot doubt that it will in time-- -the
Southern States would soon place thrma
selves in a pastion of independence far
above that whlich they now occupy-, and
whlichi theyv must cominue IC) occupy, so1
long as tihey depeind excluely tupon a
foteig;n market-Albhany Eye. Journael.

Village is truly fortunate in the late dis- t?
covery of two Mineral Springs. The
first one at Mr. J. W. Thomson's one
and half miles from the Court House, e
and other three-quarters of a mile. This e
l.st is similar to the former, and between Ii
the two no doubt, every facility for p
health to be procure.l by those means -
will be afforded. The one just by our d
residence, on the land of Mr. J. Wnddy n
Thomson's has been ahready tested by o
a few week's use by us, and that or b
something else, has improved our health, n
to a considerable degree. We think I

A Soap Plant.-Liet. Washington n
A. Bartlett, U. S. N . recently present- I
ed to the New York Farmer's Club with
two bulbs of the Atnole or Soap plant of a
California. The bulbs are used through. 0
out California for. washing every de
scription of clothting,;in cold running
water. In ubing them as soap, the
women cut off the roots from the bulbs,
and rub them on the clothes, and a rich n
&strong lather is formed which cleanses
most thoroughly. To propagate the
plant, the bulbs are set in a moist tich
soil, and grow most luxuriantly in the -
soft bottoms of valleys or bordering run
ning streams. So the world hereafter,
is to grow its own Soap, just like our
Yankee farmers grow Onions, and we
expect to see the article sold by bunches
instead of by cakes. We recommend
the Firmn tr's Club of New Y.,rk to grow
it extensively, for the Empire State will
have use for it wasling out te political o

Cheat and grow ,rich.
HIS has been the secret principle of too
many of the Wholesale Dealers in Tea
up to this time, and they have practised the
must shameful imposnon on the country mer
chant, without any fear of detection. But
a new era in the trade has come, and the
i'ekn 't'ea Company claims the honor of its
introduction. They were the first to raise the
banner of' Iteform, on which it has inscribed
the simple words,
PURE TEAS AT ;HlONEST PRICES."
A complete revolution has been the conse
queuce. Let cousumers of Tea everywhere
look at what we have done.
1. We were the first to send them Teas that
used to be called too good for thein before.
2. We have driven out of the market a vast
atmount,of' trash, and introduced a better class of
Tens than has yet ever been sold. Importers
of Tea often come to us to get for their own
use. and fur their fiiends, the fine qualities they
can find no where else.
3. We have reduced prices more than 25
per cent. both in Black and Green Tens. The
whole sale grocers say we are rnining the
trade, and call us humbugs. This we have
done already, and now see what we are ready
to do.
1. We will sell Teas by the single chest, half
chest, or 14 lbs. box, at the same price that
wholesale grocers pay to the importers when
they buy by the hundred packages.
2. The wholesale grocers aiways allows 13
or 14 lbs. tare to the half chest. This is a cheat!
We will allow, in most instancs, 154 r 16 lbs
tare on the same.
3. We hereby undertake to sell every kind
of Tea frot si: to twelve cents per pound chea
per than the wholesale grocers do.
* low can you do tbis?" asks the country
mtrchltant. This is our answer. We are cor..
test with 7 per cent. profit, instead of 25 and
50 per cent. a le wholesale grocers.
As, Englis Importer litely boasted to us that
he could make tee'ce money by sending bad
Seas to the New York market than good Teas'
We are resolved to overthrow this fraud, and
