It mutist not bo Su.pposed that, because these figures show that it would . require about twice the number of spindles now rutn ill the North to spin up our entire cotton crop at home, that the amount ofI capital required would be double that invested in cotton manufic. tures in the North, andothereore to be beyond our reach ; for but a f omipariatively small amount off Northern capital is invested in spinning. Thle most of it is in veaving, dyoing, printing, bleach. ing. &c. Spinninlg is comparative ly sina1jle, anmd comnplient ions comn menc whlien weaving begins. It must be evident to every busini.ess m'in, thatt all our cOtton imutist, sooner or later, be manufac tured here, at the place of its pro due:ion.

No doubt if this siggestion were acted upoln at once, and all our cotton mado ito yarn, and thrown upoi -t lhe Northurn marutke., thu . fi 1 P p y would exceed the demand, aild loss, at first, would ensue. My propositiona is to ship direct to the continent of Eu rope, as well as the North. It, would take us but lit tho time to drive other yarns from tho market. The process of all prloaching the spinning of our en tire crop would bo gradual, and would keep pace with tle gradual Withdrawal of 0111 competitors.

The Washitgton correspondent of the Now York herald ikrespon Siblo for the followinlg: Senator Ros, of Kansas, one of the gallant seven who voted ugainst impetichmont, bearded the Presidential liu ii lia den this (Monday) morning. The re po.rt is that Ross Went to the White House to look aftir certaiti ftppointments fbr his far off Stato. lie had liearl that the President intended to make certain nomina tionls incompatible with the slate that he (Ross) had made out for himself'. Ross, like other Sena- . tors, is human. and has it soul not above yearning for the loaves and fishes. His soul fbit Bad at whatt heI had learned concerning the designs of*President Grant, and to give his soul comlort he wended his WY to the White House. He Was at mitted at the same time as old Zack Chandler, but bad the first banice to speak his little piece to the President. "I come, Mr. President, to talk with you about the appointments 0r i) State, having heard that you iitelid to make certain noun inlations that may not harmoni.e witl my desires, if' you deem it worth whilO to consult thlou ill the least." "To whicb Grunt laconically a n d interlrogatively res4ponided, "Well, sir." Tile Presidential resprnso was not in tile LUe manner to be rel ished by the Kansas Senator. "Am I to understand that I am ighitly infomed as to your stated inten tions to disregad my prefirenets in tle matter of appoinltiments,Mr. President ?" enquired t he Senator. "That is a qutest ion hardly sus C0.ptible of in. ans1wer, sir. - To what app)iitments do you allude ? In1Pormt me und then I cani reply," rejoinled Grant. Senut.o RoSs liked the second answer. as little as the first, but havin come tot enlightenment he was determined not, to go away in it fbg. The Selnator, threfore, withi suppressed rage, oxplaied the appointments to which he had reference. "Frank l*y, si'," said Grant, "I intend not to make those appoint 1uol01ts." "WIhat, sir ! You scorn to ae commodate me in the least," ex claimed Ross, boiling over with rage. "Sir, I believe I have given you my answer," firmly but sternly replied Grant. "This is not treating moe fairly, Mr. President, nor as one gentle. mand should another," uttered Senator Ross. "I have no intention to be die. tated to. sir," Said11 Grant sharply. "Nor have I to lie insulted,even by youi, sir, wer01 you t wety 3 1 iInes the P,resident," exclaim".d Ross, with his ire stirred ipl to white heat. "I mnst delite to ho annoyed any' futherIic on .thIe sub j et,"' mit t.eredI Grunt between Itis let weeni htis teeth, ''and1 desi re I.lie itter view' shoul ter'minabe.'' "'You anmd you r desires may go to hel !"I ' roaried out tRoss. "LeaCtve the room, sir ! Leave the roomn, or I shall foreo yout oiu t !" thuntdered Grnt. Ross too k hi s(I depaturot y accor dhingly, in a terrible rage, quit ttig the White House like one rushting f'rom a plauguec, and huirried t.o the Capitol. President Grunt, threw himself' in to a chair, the remoent. t,he door closed, and wtiped his brow wvit h his pocket hiandkor chief, evidently ver'y much agita ted. Old Zauch ChtandleIr aipproachu od and was thuis addressed by the President: Excuse me for a fewv moments, Senator. Afler' that, interview I must, take a little time 1.o cool off." Such is the account which I have learned antd wthiich I give substan tially as it came to me. I (10 not vouch for its truth, bitt have good L'roundl to believoe it is not vetry different from the actual occur roence. The Countcil (Iowa) NYonpariel says that when the "good .time Coming" comes, annoutncomontaF liko the following will be frequent: "Died, in the thirty-fifth yoar' of his ago, Mr. John Smith, htusband of' tIme IIon.
