Cotton Manufacture. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Granitevi'Je Mills, (8. C.) io the spring of 1872, the President proposed to double the capacity of the mills in three years and yet pay a dividend of ton cent per annum. Can any Northern factory make a bettor exhibits ? Tho cotton mills of Au gusta aud Colnmbus, Ga., are doing j ^proportionately well. The Augusta mills, with a capital stock of $600 005, had in 1370, 8400, 000 as ? aurplas fuud aud ooinmoroial captial after paying quarterly dividend of 5 ?ent or 20 per cent, per an > bum. It has been practically demonstrated that or on cuu be spun iuto yarns at -<tue South fat 5 coots per pound cheap er than it can be spuu iu Cid o;- New TCnglanU couseijucut'y, a pro lorjj con ducted mill could nake live cents on caeh pound of yarn moro than the Northern factories which have bceu enriching their stockholders and peopling with teeming thousands ilic rocky bills of the west. Could the entice crop of cotton bo converted into yarns at the South, and j shipped abroud iu that form it would add 8150.000,000 annually to the wealth ' of this portion of the Uuitcd States For oigti mills would adapt their machinery to working up tho yurtus instead wf the raw cotton. If but one quarter of the crop could bo thus conrcrted it would be a great blessing to this count.y ?nd enable number of women oud chil Iren , ? who are now dopondent on others to Kuppcut then.."elves. ur. -?

The Railroads have kindly consented to per mit the Grand Officers and Delegates to pass to and from the meeting fur one faro. The ('oldest Day. Sunday last, January 19th, is men tioned by our t xt hange* as the coldest 1 day ever felt since the year 183ft, ex opt January 2i h, 1870. The t'uer 111011 eter in Charleston ut 7 o'clock A.

The Winne-boro AVtea of Saturday last, mentions the death at thrt place on that day of Captain James Copes, form erly of Charleston, the father of our fel low-townsman Mr* 1U belt Copes. Captain Copes was one of the old line Cbarlestonians well known and re spected, as a man of sterling probity, untiring industry and strong practical sense. Our sympsthies are extended to our friend Mr. Kobcrt Copes who has in the spare of three weeks been called to weep at the grave of both of bis pa rents. The Coll on Tax. At Washington, on the evening of Jan. 18ih, nearly all1 the members of Congress from the eotton Slates lud I a conference and agreed on a neit bill to refund the cotton tax, which thej will pro.-k in Congress at this session. This uew bill U in lien of the one of which a synopsis was published in the N*w.. The provisions of the rft# bill are materially different froth those of the first, and carefully looks after the inte rests of tlie plhritbr* and' freed men in tsueuring to them, and not to the spetfula-' tors who have bought up these claims for a song, the absolute return of the cottou tax they have paid. We hhall kiep our readers informed of the action of Congress, in this inte? resting mutter. Tho Bowen-DeLarge Contest The report of the Committee on Elec tions in the ease of C. 0. Botren, con testing the seat of R. C. PoLarge, from the 8econd Congressional District of this State has been made in tho House of Representatives in Congress. It states that the committee find, upon tho whole evidence, that DeLarge did not receive the majority rtf the votes legally east, and is therefore not entitled to his seat. The report recommends a resolution that neithet of the contestants should take the teat, hut doea not find that Bowcn is disqualified, from occupying it/ The committee report that the allege tion that the counsel of DeLarge waa bribed, and withheld evidence in his possession, was true. More on the Some Subject. We enquired in our last issue very pertinently, why do not owners of lots in and around Orangeburg, ercet neat and cheap cottages which could be rented at moderate rates. Our enquiry and suggestion have met with interest and favor on the part of those who would be the occupants of the proposed homes. On tto new street there aro many most desirable lots. Why do not the owners of these act upon our sug gcation. Cottagca of four rooms, can bo erected for little or nothing Tho weather boarding noed not bo planed. Rough boarda white-washed make just as pretty an exterior, as planed boards and paint and ia of course immeasurably cheaper The convenience of a large and increas ing, elass of our eery best citizens, and the great improvemcut it will he to our pretty and growing Town are the eon aiderations, which urge us to preaa this subject. We are happy fo sfate t?at ou-r sug gestion has been euas^ht up by snrae lot owners. No leas than four sunvll nenb residences'are about? to be erected. The new street lies beautifully open to view from the railroad, and? built Bp along ^its line with pretty homes, Would be a charming and picturesque picture to the traveller ou the high road through the State. Build, build, build ! It is the best investment that could be made. The Modoc Indians?They Defeat the United Stales Troops. She telegraph during the last wock brought tidings from California of the crushing defeat of I nitod States troops by the Modoc Indiana. Gen. Wheaton was in command of the soldiers engaged io action again* these Indians , aud on Friday the 17lh mat cat, a aevere battle was fought near Tulc Lake. The U. S. troops numbered about lour hundred men. Captain Jack was the Indian commander. lirhad about two hundred braves concealed among the rocks along a Hue of two miles in length. On Fri day morning Captain Bernard opened battle. General Wheaton waa distant about twelve miles when he heard the firi.ig commence. The troops fought an unseen foe from {eight in the morning till dark. The loss to the troops waa forty, killed and wounded, rhat of the Indiana is unknown. The troops were finally obliged to rctroat. The movement is called a reconois*-. anee in fore of Cef tain Jack's position. It is said that it will require one thousand men to dislodge the Indiana from their position. The troops for the present can only wait and endeavor to prevent the Modoc from raiding on the settlements. Serious apprehension." are entertained. Will the red man retake, his lost inheritance ? Oh ! General Assembly. Since our last our legislators have boan sctivo. although a quorum haa been wanting sometimes. A joint resolution haa been intro duced in the House of Representatives, authorising the Governor to appoint three commissioners to investigate the amount and validity of the State debt, and to empower these commissioners to stamp officially *he bonds and Blocks found to be genuine. The proposition has however met with strong opposition. It proposes to givo theso commissioners too much power. It has boon suggested to amend so as to refer (his matter and confer this power of investigation upon a Hoard to consist of the Governor the Tre isurer, and tfc? Attorney General. A bill tyas been introduced in the house to provide for a compulsory registration births, deaths and mar riages, TtVts measure will furnish statistics of vulunble information and should he deliberately coobidored by our representatives. It is proposed to adjourn the General Assembly do February 7th. A bill has been introduced to fix a salary fcf /sheriffs in place of the tees by which tl cy are now paid.

The Lien Law. Several propos'tions arc under con- j sidcration in the Legislature, in regard to tho law of l ens. Some of these go ! to abolishiog the entire law, oth< rs to making important modifications and changes in its operation. As the law now stands, the merchant or factor, making advances to tho farmer for j agricultural purposes, has a preferred lien upon thu crop of the latter, to the amount of the price of the supplies so j advanced. With th exception of exorbitant prices sometimes demanded and high rates of interest charged by the merchants oi factors, we can see no evil in this provision of law. It is urged with snnte degree of truth that this system of advances is u result of thu war and is pernicious in so far that a grcut temptation is opened to the far mer lobe extravagant in getting advances beyond tho value ot his crop which is held to jay for th in. This vH'^tion j? however rather an lulividu d one with each farmer, and does not militate against the law, which oortain'y lias a tendency to encourage und help tho far tuer. Whether ho avails himself ol the opportauity thus uffordud by tho law. or whether ho is extravagant und unwise - in its use, is of course a matter of econ oiuy and management with liimnolf. There is a lurge eluss of small farmers: just starting "farms of their own, to whom this law is most beneficial and almost necessary. They are deeply iuttorcsVud' in the continuance of tho law ( in its prcsen* forta, and it is a question 1 if thoy ari not vastly in the majority ol those engaged in agricultural pursuits. It Kceuis tliut ths objection to tho law afi it now stands aroso iroiu tho practice of certain small merchants in the country, of including t?ht*%eyt which is largely aud liberally furnished, in tho list of agricultural supplies. This is very Arcadian, and is a blissful union of tho orgies of Pan and llacchus, but it certainly is not legal. However .stimulating to tbo fertile brain, whiskey may be, it is a very poor stimulating fertilizer to toe soil, and while it will soon send men to "grass" is very poor pasturage for stock. This practice is simply nn abuse aud violation of the law, and cannot be urged as an objection to it provisions Uue of these changes proposed to the law, is to give the ownei of the I nd a preferred Ii cd on the crop ol the tenant for tho rent. It is far vasicr for the small fanner, just "making bis farm" j to get land than supplies. And like wise it is easier fur the landlord to col-1 loot his rent than for the merchant to get remuneration for his advances. j The one is upon the ground and near er to tho tenant at.d knows bis renter better than than the other at a distance, aud unable to know his man or watch his crop. Only a good tenant can get land, and there is e ns quently less necessity for so hiv'.t a security to be given the ?land!, rd for the collection of his rent. The lien law as it now stands is wise I and has been a benefit add blessing to the poor men of tho .^tate. and liar cer tainly aide?! and encouraged agriculture. Let the law, which has s\ood the test of experience, stand as ii is, but let any abuse e t; r i i s stric !\ w..t h d : and peremptorily punished. Some legislation looking to the piiuisuicul of parties violating tho law, ns lor a misdu mciti >r. or for fmmj or over t each ing in its application, is what wo think is needed. Nothing else. The Hoove of Representatives has, however, on Tuesday la-t, stricken out the enacting C u-o i I the hill to repeal the lien law id' 1SUU.
