Cotton Manufacture. At a meeting of the stockholder* of the Granitoville Mills, (8. 0.) in the spring of 1872, tho President proposed to double the capacity of the mills in three years and yot pay a dividoud of ten cent per annum. Can any Northern factory make a better oxhibits? Thocottou mills of Au gusta aud Colnmbu8, Ga., are doing proportionately well. 'The Augusta mills, with a capital stock of $600-005, had in 1870, $400, 000 as a surplus fund aud commercial captial after paying quarterly dividend of 5 per cent or 20 per cent, per an unm.

Could the entire crop of cotton bo converted into yarns at the South, and I shipped abroad in that form it would add ?150.000,000 annually to the wealth ! of this portion of tho Uuitcd States For l eign mills would adapt their machinery to working up the yurtns instead uf the ???tsw" cotton.

At Wnrhington,- od the evening of Jan. 18ih, neurly all1 tvte members of Congress from the cotton Slates held 'a conference, and agreed on a neit bill to reft.nd the cotton tax, which they will pros in Congress at this session. This uew bill is in lien of the ens of which a synopsis was published in the Nkw*. The provisions of tfie nw# Mill sre materially different frdm those of the first, and- cnrelully looks after the inte rests of the plaiithr% sod' fireedmen in uueuring to t/ici*, and not to the specula-'| tors who have bought up those claims for a song, the absolute return of the cotton tax they have paid. We shall ktep* our readers informed of tho action of Congress, in this inte resting matter. Tho Bowon-Do Large Contest ? The report of the Commit tc- on Elec tions in the case of C. C. Bowcn, con testing the seat of R. 0. PoLorge, from the Second- Congressional District of this State has been made in tho House of Representatives in Congress. It states that the committee find, upon the whole evidence, that PeLargo did not receive the majority Of the votes legally east, and is therefore not entitled to his seat. The report recommends s resolution that neithet of the contestants should take the seat, bot does not find that Bowen is disqualified, from occupying it/ Tho committee report that the allege tion that tho counsel of Do Large was, bribed, aud withheld evidence in his possession, was true. More on the Same Subject We enquired in our last issue very pertinently, why do not owners of lots in and around Orangcburg, eroet neat and cheap cottages which could be rented at moderate rates. Our enquiry and suggestion have met with interest and far - on the part of those who would be the occupants of the proposed homes. On tie new street there are many most dosirable lots. Why do not the owners of these act upon our Bug gcation. Cottagca of four rooms, can bo erected for little or nothing The weather boarding need not bo planed. Hough boards white-washed make just as pretty an exterior, as planed boards and paint and is of course immeasurably cheaper. The convenience of a large and increas ing, class of our very best citizens, aud tho great improvement it will be to our pretty and growing Town are the con siderations, which urge us to press this subjecS. We are happy restate that oat sug gestion has been easght ssp by some lot owners. No less than four sumM nenb residences-are about' to be erected. The new street lies beautifully open to view from tho railroad, and> built wp along ^its line with pretty homes, would be a ch .iming and picturesque picture to the traveller ou the high road through the State. Build, build, build ! It is the beat investment that could be made. The Kotloc Indians?They Defeat the United States Troops. She telegraph during the last week brought tidings from California of the crushing defeat uf I'nitud States troops by the Modoc Iudiaus. Gen. iVheaton was in command uf the soldiers engaged in action agaiua these Indians ; aud on Friday the )?lh instant, a severe battle was fought near Tu-Io Lake. Ihe U. S. troops numbered about four hundred men. Captain Jack was the Indian commander. He had about two hundred braves concealed among the rocks along a line of two miles in length. On Fri day morning Captain Bernard opened buttle. General Wheaton was 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 was forty, killed aud wounded, that of the Indians is unknown. The troops were finally obliged to retreat. The movement is called a reconoi**-. anec in fore of Captain Jack's position. It is said that it will require one thousand men to dislodge the Indians from their position. The troops for the present can only wait and endeavor to prevent the Modoc from raiding on the settlements. Serious apprehensions are cnlortuincd. Will the red man retake, his lost inheritance ? Oh !

The Lien Law. Several propositions are under con sideration iu the Legislature, iu regard to tho law of l ens. Some of llicso go to abolishing the cjitire,law, others fo waking important modifications and changes in its operation. As the law now stands, the merchant or factor, making advances to the farmer for agricultural purposes, has a preferred lien upon the crop of tho hitter, to the amouut of the price of the supplies so advanced. With the exception of exorbitant prices sometimes demanded and high rates of interest charged by the merchants ot factors, we can aco no evil in this provision of law. It is urged with some degree of truth that this system of advances is u result of the war nnd is pernicious iu so far that a great temptation is opened to the far mer to bo extravagant in uotting advances bcyoud tho value of his crop which is held to jay for th' pi, This objection j? however rather an Individual one with each farmer, and does not militate against tho law, which certainly has a tendency to euoourage aud help tho far incr. Whether ho avails himself ol the opportunity thus afforded by the law. or whether ho is extravagant and unwise > in its use, is of course a matter of scon oiny and management with hilUMOlf. There is a large class of small farmers) jolt starting "farms of their own, to whom this law is most beneficial and almost necessary.- They are deeply iuttorestted' in the continuance of the law iu its present form, and it is a questiou if they art not vastly in the majority of those engaged io agricultural piitttlits, It sceuis that tho objection to tho law as it now stands arose irotu the practice of certain small merchants in the country, of including tlint*le*y% which is largely aud liberally furnished, in tbo list of agricultural supplies. This is very Arcadian, and is a blissful union of tho orgies of Pan and Bacchus, but it certainly is not legal. However stimulating to the fertile brain, whiskey may be, it is a very poor stimulating fertilizer to the soil, and while it will soon send men to "grass" is very poor pasturage for stock. This practice is simply an abuse and violation of the law, and can net be urged as an objection to it provisions Ouc uf these change* proposed to tkc law, is to give the owrtei of the I.nd a preferred lied ou the crop ol the tenant for the rent. It is far easier for the small farmer, just "making bis farm" to get land than supplies. And like wise it is easier for the landlord to col lect bis rent than for the merchant tu get remuneration for his advances. The one is upon the ground and near er to the tenant a..d knows his renter better than than the other at a distance, and unable to know bis man or watch his crop. Only a good tenant can gel land, and there is c< ff?i tjUently less necessity fur so high a security to be given the 'landlord for the collection of his rent. The lien law as it now stands is wise and has been a benefit add blessing to the poor mm of the State, and bttfl cer tainly aided and encouraged agriculture. Let the law, which has stood the tost of experience, s and as it is, but let any abuse e U j r . i i a stric ly w.:t h d and peremptorily punished. Some legislation looking to the puuismcut of patties violating the law. as lor a niisde mcinor, or for fraud oi over reaching in its application, is what wo think is needed. Nuthing eise. The House ol Representatives has, however, on Tuesday hi-t, strichen out the enacting ch ttsc of the hill to repeal the lien law uf ISliii.
