In response, Col. Palmer read the following very interest? ing paper, which he-had prepared on- uho subject. Upon the conclusion of" which, a resolution of thanks was adopted : Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention : With, I trust, a proper ap ciation of the courtesy of the Convention in affording me an opportunity to submit the following paper for their considera? tion; and with a painful sense of my ina? bility to do iustice to so important a sub? ject, fraught, as I believe it to be, with such vital interest to the South; but with a recognition of the lact that it is the duty of every citizen to do what he can to advanco the prosperity 01 thn eountty, I proceed to read what I have hastily, and I fear, very imperfectly prepared. The advantages possessed by the South over tho North in manufacturing cotton, may he stated briefly, to be: 1. An abundance of unoccupied water power in every Southern State. 2. A mild climate. Fire, for heating purposes, is only necessary for from one to three months in the ye*ar. Resinous heart-pine wood can be produced at very low rates. The pay for such wood de? livered within one mile of our factory, is only SI.00 per cord, and our total expense for fuel for, say two and one half months in the year, is but one-tenth of one cent per pound, when charged to the manufac? tures of those months, while in tho North it is about one cent per pound on the manufactures of at least five months in the year. 3. Wages are, and must continue to he. comparatively low. The mildness of the climate, the abundance of lumber and the cheapness of land, enables manufacturers to provide their operatives with inexpen? sive but comfortable houses and large garden plats. Tito country being an agricultural one, we must soon be able to produco our provisions, while the manu? facturing districts of the North must al? ways depend upon the distant West, and. to some extent, upon the South for theirs. ?4, Operatives. Northern men, acting' &s superintendents of Southern mills, ad? mit tho superiority of our factory hands, who are remarkably frugal and industri ous, and who are easily controlled. 5- Freights arc lowor on yarns and ejoths than lint cotton. There has been a time, within the last three years, when a balo of cotton of 459 pounds, worth, way 899.00, paid a freight, from Charleston to New York or Philadelphia, of 82.50 per bale, which would be 2.77 per cent, on Value; vvliile that cotton, made into a balo of 401) pounds of No. 20 yarn, worth say ' ?136.00, paid only 60 cents per bale, or' 44-100 por cent, on value?a difference in ; $ivor of yarns of 2j percent. The South? ern manufacturer saves tho freight on bagging, ropo and other waste. This waste can be manufactured into paper at! the South more cheaply than at the North, j and, is, consequently, more valuable- here than there. Reclamation on false packed or damaged cotton is easy and direct, and we save the burdensome Northern charges ior storage, brokerage, etc. I support these positions hy tho follow? ing statement of actual cost of manufac? turing at Saluda Cotton Mills, as shown by our books. It must be recollected that we have employed in the manufacture of No. 20 yarn only 4,000 spindles, (Jinks' ring travelers.) Of course, a greater' number of spindles, or the production of yarns of a lower number, would ensuro a less cost per pound : Labor?Superintendent, 37; card? ing. 56; spinning, 76; reeling, 75.. 2.44 Repair?Labor and material, (ma? chinery nearly new,). 22 Packing, bundling,&c, labor and materials. 58 General Expenses-Watch, 13; haul? ing, 32; findings, 20; oil, 15; sala? ries, 62; miscellaneous, 46. 2.00 Total'per pound. 5.24 Add?Loss by waste, (450 lbs;, cot? ton, costing 890, making but 400 lbs. of yarn). 2.50 10 percent, for wear and tear of machineiy, charged to produc? tion, per pound. 1.26 Total cost of manufacturing cot? ton, worth 20c. per pound. 9.00 Freights to New York or Philadel? phia 65c, insurance 15. 80 Cost cotton per pound. 20.00 Total cost per pound1 of Southern yarn, (No.20,) delivered in N.

That is to say, that the Cost of labor, repairs, packing and . general expenses was with them, gold. 5.24 Add for difference in value of go!d and currency. 1.75 And we have in currency. 6.99 Estimating cotton in Liverpool at 24c, and. the waste (450 lbs. cct ton, worth S108, making 400 lbs. yarn.); would be. 3.00 9.99 Wear and tear of machinery- 126 MJ>5 Add cost of eotton. 24.00 And we have, as coat of No. 20 yarn manufactured in England. 32.25 Cost of Southern yarns, as hereto? fore shown... 29 Freight and insurance. 1.50 Cost of Southern yarns delivered in England. 30.50 Difference in favor of Southern yarns_. 4.75 But no estimato is made of tho broker? age, &C, in Liverpool, or of the freights and charges on the cotton from Liver? pool to Manchester. Southern yarns could be shipped to the continent of Europe at about the same rates as to Liv? erpool, while English yarns would have to pay freight from Manchester to the con? tinent. These additional charges on the <ost of English yarns being considered, I think it would be quite fair to infer from the foregoing that we could send our yarns to Europe, and, selling thein at the cost of producing English yarns, derive a net profit of at ieaot five cents per pound. In support of the figures I have given, and the conclusions 1 have drawn from them, I mention the fact that at no time within the last three years would we havo been unable to command from our North? ern commission houses (had we chosen to ask for them) advances beyond the total cost of cur yarns. Can any Northern or English manufacturer say this? Estimating the average crop of cotton at 2,500,000 bales, of 450 pounds each, and tho price here at 25 cents, and we have as tho amount received by the South, 8^25,000,000. Manufacture this cotton into yarns, and sell at cost of Northern or English production, and we have, after deducting all foreign charges, (net price per pound 34c,) S340,000,000; and for waste, which would bo worth for paper stock, if manufactured at tho South, S2 per bale, S5,000,000?$345,000,000: show? ing a gain to the South of 8120,000,000; and it we estimate for a receiptof say 3c. per pound and cost of foreign manufac? ture, (and our experience would more than justify it,) we have a further gain of 830,000,000. In all, 8150,000,000. The average production of yarns last yoar throughout tho United States was per spindle, 62.17 pounds; tho average number of yarn manufactured, 27,318; the total number of spindles was about 6,048,249 ; of those the Northern States had 5,848,477; and tho Southern States oulj' 199,772. Tho average number of yarn manufactured at the North was 27?; J production per spindle, 59.57. The aver? age number of yarn manufactured at tho South was 12j-j production per spindle, 140.37. These figures arc based upon tho ro ports made to the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers and Planters. It is probable that many of the smaller mills in iho South were not reported. My cal? culation is based upon an average produc? tion per spindlo (ring traveler) of 87 pounds, and average number 20. To spin 2,500,000 bales would requiro 11,494,253 spindles. If cap frames were us(uj, of course a less number of spindles would be required. The calculation will vary, according to tho kind of spinning done, and machines used. 11,494,253 spin dies would give employment to 249,951 hands?'principally females, from ten years of age up, and small beys. The average wages of the operatives (big and little) in our mill is ?145.82 each per annum, winch would give as the gross amount paid for wages per annum, ?35, T08.901.82. And that, too, paid for labor that would nearly all of it- not only be otherwise nnemploj'ed in adding to the wealth of tho country, but be a positive burthen upon tho countrj*. It must not bo supposed, that, because these figures show that it would require about twice the number of spindles now run in tho North to spin up our entire cotton crop at home, that the amount of capital required would be double that in? vested in cotton manufactures in the North, and therefore to be beyond out? reach ; for but a comparatively small amount of Northern capital is invested in spinning. The most of it is in weaving, dyeing,printing, bleaching, &c. Spinning is comparatively simple, and complica? tions commence when weaving begins. It must be evident to every business man, that all our cotton must, sooner or later, be manufactured here, at tho place of its production. If done now, by asso? ciations of planters and other Southern people, additional wealth is secured to our? selves and to our children ; if deferred, Northern capital and energy will inevita? bly occupy the field. It seems to me entirely practicable that the planters of cotton-growing districts, all over the South, should combine to? gether, in joint stock associations, and erect cotton mills of sufficient capacity to spin up their crops. No doubt, if this suggestion were acted upon at once, and all our cotton made into yarn, and thrown upon the Northern market the supply would exceed the demand, and loss, at first, would ensue. My proposition is to ship direct to the continent of Europe, as well as the North. It would take us but little lime to drive other yarns from the market. The process of approaching the spinning of our entire crop would be grad? ual, ancTwould keep pace with the gradual withdrawal of our competitors. To show the practicability of this plan, I submit an estimate for a cotton mill with 4,0S0 spindles, ring traveling frames: Number of square feet of flooring, 10, 200; amount of No. 20yarns manufactur? ed for spindle, 87 pounds. Total amount of No. 20 yarns manufactured in mill, 354,960 pounds. Cost of first class ma chinery, with all the latest improvements, viz: One large cjlindcr cotton opener, (English ;) one 3 cylinder opener, with 1 beater, (English.;) 1 double lap machine, (English ;) 10 self-stripping, 36 inch cords, with 2 K. W. heads, troughs and belts; 2 drawing frames and cans; I English slub? ber, 60 spindles ; 2 English jack roving frames, 120 spindles oaeh; 20 ring traveler spinning frames, ,204 spindlca each; 14 reels, traverse grinder, slide reel, card [clothing, governor, turbine wheel, cotton [scales, bundle and bale [tresses, shafting, i belting, bobbins, transportation, putting up machinery, findings to commence with, &C, ?43,000; building, including houses for operatives (estimated by an experienc? ed contractor.) 7,000; total, ?50,000. Such a mill will give employment to S7 opera? tives and will consume 887 bales cotton, weighing 150 pounds each. Estimated net profits on productions, it sold at cost of Northern production, ?17,748. No esti? mate is made of the cost of water power, as that would depend upon location, size and nature of si ream. Finally, with great diffidence, hut with equal earnestness, 1 urge upon the con? vention, and upon tho Southern people generali}*, careful consideration of the facts and figures submitted ; and close with the suggestion, that houses of cor? rection for juvenile delinquents, who abound in our midst, and penitentiaries for females be established, and that their inmates, as well as those of orphan asy? lums, be employed in cotlon manufactur? ing. I may state that, by the wise fore? thought of the projectors of our State Penitentiary, this was, to a limited ex? tent, provided for, and 1 believe I am cor i rcct in saying that the convicts now man? ufacture nearly, if not quite all, their clothing, bedding, &c. j The following resolution was introduc j cd by Col. Thomas, and referred to the Committee on Labor: Resolved, That tho true policy of the South in relation to the all-important sub? ject of labor, consi?ts in utilizing the la? bor that we have and in supplementing it with foreign white labor as rapidly as possible. On m<.t:on of T. G. Clemson, Esq., an additional Committc was appointed on Education. The following gentlemen compose said Committee: Messrs. T. G. Clcmson, C. P. Pelham, Jas. L. Orr, B. F. Perry, Jas. Chestnut. The Com mi lice on Resolutions, relating to the organization of this meeting, beg to report: 1. That they recommend that the meet? ing organize itself into an association to be called ' The Agricultural and Mechan? ical Society of South Carolina"?which was adopted. 2. That the officers olectcd by this meeting he the officers of that Seciety, until otherwise ordered. Adopted. The Committee on Mechanics recom? mend that, so fai as it is possible, that as? sociation shall have their implements of j agriculture made within the State?either by the existing means, or if necessary, by tho formation of companies for tho special manufacture of implements required by them. And that until such companies are formed, they will foster and encourage thoso establishments of their State on gaged in this work. A communication was read b}* Kos well T. Logan, Esq., from Messrs. Walker. Evans & Cogswell, relative to the estab? lishment of an agricultural magazine in Charleston. A. A. Gilbert, Esq., offered tho follow? ing resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That it Is the Hcnso of this Society that the publication of this jour? nal by Messrs, Walker, Evans and & Cogs? well is of vital importance lo the success? ful development of the material resources of this Statu and of the entire Sonth, and we heartily pledge our influence and sup? port to Ihom in ihis their enterprise. | Resolved, That tho President of this Society be requested to appoint a Com mittto of three from each County, whose duly it will bo to intcrcMt the people of their reepcetivc Counties in said magazine. Gen. Gary moved that a Committee be appointed to draft a constitution and by? laws to govern this Society. Mr. Boinest offered the following; which was adopted : Resolved, That the original Agricultural Society of South Carolina be revived, with its constitution and by-laws and that the officers just elected be the officers of this Society.
