Manufacturing in this State.
We learn from a private corres?
pondence, that Mr. William Berry,
the proprietor of thc Pendleton Fac?
tory, in this State, designs to enlarge
its capacity for more extended opera?
tions. For this purpose, ho desires
to increase the capital stock of the
establishment to 860,000, in o .1er to
carry on the business more profitably,
and on a scale better suited to the
capacity of the mill. To accomplish
this, he proposes to raise a joint
stock company, by selling about forty
shares, of $1,000 each, retaining
twenty shares himself. The laetoiy
has been profitably operated by Mr
Peny for the past six months, ami
paid a protit of twenty per cent, on
the capital ;;lock in that time.
We would be glad to see Mr. Perry
and all others engaging in manufac?
turing in this and other States of thc
South meei, with success, and thc
proposal made, we think, offers a
good opportunity for those who have
the means and the inclination to em?
bark in the business. In the success?
ful establishment of cotton manufac?
tories throughout thc South, we be?
lieve, depends much of hex tuturi
prosperity.
The figures and statements oi
Eastern cotton mills show thc larg<
pro?ts of these establishments. Col
ton will be grown probab y for som<
vcars to come by th" ireedmcu win
remain on thc plantations, or who
disappointed in their migration West
ward, will return to their old homes
but still we have many in ever
Southern Stale, the employment o
whom in factories would n*>t on!
support them, but aid materially ii
building up the fortunes of thc South
The local manufacture of the stapl
in the neighborhood where it i
grown, as estimated by the best au
thorities, will, at the lowest calcul;
lion, m it double, the price of th
raw staple packed and sent oil* t
foreign manufacturers. These result
are matter of statistical and matin
matieal certainty, and cannot be db
puted. In tho present impoverishe
condition ol the South, her peopl
should uso every effort to realize bot
values of the staple. To have som
idea of the increased profits to th
local manufacturez*, as well us th
planter, they must add to tin; plan
ors not returns and the factor's eon
missions in Charleston, or some otk?
Southern shipping port, tho profit
of Lowell and .Manchester.
What these profits are, wo find coi
doused in a letter written by tim
Patton, <>n the subject, some weol
ai*o. in Lowell, there ari: len larg
manufacturing establishments, 1
carry on which the aggregate c&pit;
is S13,0*X),000. The cotton consume
annually, 100,000 bides; the numb?
of yards ot cloth produced (cxcli
sive of yarns) was something ovi
100,000,000; the number of oper
fives, ?nosily women and childrc:
12,(1(10. To luise the amount of eu
ton manufactured by these mill
would require at least 30,000 fie
laborers, und yet it is converted in
vam and cloths by 12,000. Tho pr
cess of manufacturing- the cott<
doubles ils value, and yet. this on
requires 12,000 women and childrc
while the raising of the cotton i
?pures 30,000 hands. The writ?
then, pointedly and forcibly says:
"These are plain and positi
figures, taken from sources of u
doubted reliability. It will bc; se
at once that tho dividends paid upi
these Lowell mills must bo liigi
remunerative. 1 have before mc
comparative list of dividends recen
declared for several of the incorj
rated fact ios at Lowell, and el
where in the North, and they ran
from twenty to forty per cent. \
annum. It would, perhaps, be si
to place the average at thirty j
cent., thus showing that the anni
profits equal nearly one-third of 1
capital invested. No dividend wh:
I have seen reported is as low as I
legal interest of Alabama. Statist
such as these tell their own sto
They are safe and unerring guides

profits of manufacturing; and sur
they afford ample encouragement
Southern enterprise of this char
ter."
We trust that the people of
South will so promptly avail tin
selves of this new field of indust
enterprise, apparently providenth
opened to them by the diminutior
their agricultural labor, that we si
have the pleasure of chronicling
springing np of factories all over
cotton region of the Southern Sta
The Sherman Bill.
It seems by our despatches, yester?
day morning, that Sherman's bill, by
skillful manipulating, passed the j
House, and, it was stated, would pro- j
bably pass the Semite. It is some- '
thing rasier than Stevens' bill, giving \
the appointment of the military go
? vernors of the Southern States to the
President, instead of the General of
the army.
But the measure is not yet a law.
It will be vetoed by the President,
will have to pass over the veto, and
then will lind its way to the Supreme
Court, where it will be declared un?
constitutional. Wc will take the
earliest opportunity of placing the
enactment before our readers, when
we get it in authenticated form. In
its transition between thc two Houses
of Congress, it has been so much
amended and changed that it would
be useless to give a synopsis of what
we thought it was.
It must reach us iu a day or two,
as it will have passed both Houses;
but we do not think it will ever be?
come an operative law.
Til? Future.
The Newnan (Ga.) Herald, speaking
iu reference to the emigration of the
negro to th? richer cotton-growing
regions of thc lower valley, and thc
fact that the old Southern States
must begin to diversify their indus?
trial energies, says, with much good
sense:
But il we. partially abandon the
cultivation of cotton, we will, ol' ne?
cessity, be forced io adopt other
means of money making. Nothing
truer and nothing easier. We aro
favored with a. climate ami soil adapt?
ed to'"the growth of the apple and
peach. The former are now soiling
in our market for two dollars and a
hali' or three dollars per bushel,
while dried peaches are vert!'., in the
New York market, ?'rom thirty io
thirty-live couts per pound, or ten or
twelve dollars per bushel. These
facts should convince every om* hav?
ing the smallest knowledge of arith?
metic, that a large orchard will pay
better than a "cotton patch."
j Again, -we have water power suili
! eient to turn wheelsenough to manu?
facture goods for world's consump?
tion. Why is ii that the citizens of
Middle Georgia cannot buy the cot?
ton delivered at their doors and con?
vert it into shirting and calicoes, and
sell thom as cheap as the Northerner,
who pays the freight on the. raw ma?
terial over a thousand milos of rail?
way, and then the freight on thc
manufactured goods over the same
linos'.- We know not. The South?
ern man has everything in bis favor.
Will we avail ourselves o?' the advan?
tages which tlio (?oil ol' nature has
give?! us? If wc do. a bright future
awaits us-ii we do not, its darkness
no man eau io retell.

Tin- Fenian itisitig.
The New York Times, of Tuesday,
has tho following cable despatch,
dated London, evening ol' the 18th:
The cause of tin- Pinnau outbreak
in tho South ol' Ireland is yet buried
in obscurity, though the telegraph
linos which run through the disaffect?
ed district are again working, and
communication has boon restored.
Some say that it was caused by the
arrest of the American officer, Capt.
Moriarity; while others say that this
prompt ai'rest prevented a general
rising of the irish.
Tlio British Government had news
of the affair early on the 12th inst.
An upper servant in the household of
tho Earl of Kenmore had received
two anonymous notes, stating that a
rising was planned in Killarney, and
that tho leader would reach Killarney
from Cahirciveen that night. Con?
stables were immediately sent to in?
tercept him. They met a wagon, on
which they lound Moriarity, whom
they took into custody, and upon
searching his person, found letters
confirming the assertions in the
anonymous notes.
Tho Fenian plan was to attack Kil?
larney, capture the place, and then
mareil to Cork. But the immediate
despatch of troops from Cork to Kil?
larney by (lon. Bates, and the celerity
of Cail. Ilobsford's movements, de?
feated the wdiole plot, and caused the
insurgent band to disperse.
ALABAMA IMMIGRATION BILL,-A

LUNAR RAINBOW-.-The Chester
Standard says:
This rare and beautiful phenome?
non was distinctly visible on the
night of the 17th inst., commencing
at 7 o'clock, and continuing for the
space of a half hour. The moon was
enveloped in a luminous halo, which,
in turn, was enclosed by a double
circular ring, displaying the prisma?
tic colors. The entire exhibition was
?LS splendid as it is unusual.
To PRINTERS.- A half interest in
the Chester (S. C.) Standard is offered

CONFISCATION PROGRAMME. Thad.
Stevens, on Monday last, used the
following language:
"The President has already, as far
as he is able, and illegally, pardoned
and restored to these rebel traitors
property which was confiscated by the
.-Vet of 1S?;I>: and he had done that in
defiance of the law. hast Saturday,
a gentleman from Alexandria came to
me-one of the judges there-and
told me the case of an old gentle?
man who had bonghl some ?17,000
worth of property under a tax sale of*
the Gaited States, but that the rebel
whose property il imd been came re?
cently with thc President's purdon
and an orde* for the restoration of
the property; and an ejectment has
been brought in iii" Statecourt, and.
beyond all question, the recovery will
be iia>i. Sir, more than two billions,
belonging 1 o thc United Suite's, con?
fiscated not as rob', ls' property, but
as enemies' property, has been giveu
back to enrich traitors. Our friends
whose houses have bei n laid in ashes,
whose farms ha vi'boon robbed, whose
cattle have bren taken from them,
and whose houses have boon rilled,
are to go forth suffering and labor?
ing, white Wade Hampton and his
Black Horse Cavalry aro enjoying
their millions of dollars, and while
?ill these men along the Valley and
elsewhere, with their manors of
30,000 acres, arc still enjoying them.
God willing, and I living, there shall
be a question" propound id to this
House and this notion, whether a por?
tion of the claim . of ?oyal men shall
not be paid by the confiscated pro?
perty of rebels. But this bill cuts us
all out. This bill is helping the Pre?
sident to take from the people that
which belongs to them, and to give
it back to traitors."

THAT SECRET MISSION.-The New
York Herald, of the 10th, says:
The secret mission of the steamer
Gettysburg, with frederick Seward
and Admiral Porter on board, has
been unearthed. Tho intention w.is
to purchase the island, of St. Domin?
go fora coaling station. President
Cabrai thought the plan a good one,
but demanded cash down, and plenty
of it. A largo amount of specie had
been brought aboard ?it Annapolis,
but at Port Royal, .Jamaica, the sail?
ors broke into the ward-room where
it was stored, abstracted three bags
of it, and deserted the ship with their
booty. But a reward of $100 being
offered for the recovery of tho money,
the search for them was very brisk,
and one of them was caught, with a
fortune on his person. He was
turned over to the first lieutenant,
who, it is said, compassionately re?
turned tho money to him and sent
him ashore. Thus the "missiona?
ries" had not money enough to pur?
chase St. Domingo, and. after recu?
perating their health ?at Nassau,
returned disappointed to Annapolis.
A REPUBLICAN PICTURE OF CON?
GRESS.-A Washington correspondent
writes to the New York Post:
"The Republicans are by no means
united. A part of them, in both
Houses, do not really desire to com?
plete any practical method of recon?
struction. They mean to keep the
Southern States out as long as they
can, to treat them as harshly us pos?
sible, to force through Congress mea?
sures which shall increase instead of
diminishing the divergence between
the President and Congress. These
men oppose the Blaine amendment
to the military bill, and insist on the
passage of the military bill alone.
The violent and extreme Republicans
in both Houses exercise an influence
disproportioned to their numbers, by
reason of their virulence and intole?
rance. They denounce as a copper?
head every Republican who offers to
differ from them, and exercise really
a system of terrorism, which has
broken down the independent judg?
ment of very many, and makes some
of the ablest men in the House and
Senate so anxious to avoid their pro?
scription, that they are silent or ac?
quiescent in measures which their
judgment condemns."

TTIT. Noi?Tir CAROLINA COSTMISSION
EIIS.-The following action was taken
iu the North Carolina House of Com?
mons on the 15th, in relation to the
North Carolina Commissioners:
Mr. Moore, of Hertford, offered the
ollowing resolution, which was
adopted :

Tut: TARIFF.-A Washington pa-1
per. of Tuesday, says:
Tho Committee of Ways and Means ?
have tied heavy weights enough upon j
the tariff bill to carry it under. The 1
opinion is that no legislation can
sase it. They have put up the duties)
upon linseed oil. zinc ami other arti- j
oles; advanced the duty on all kinds'
of s'oel half a cent on a pound '
over tie- Senate proposition: ad?
vanced duly mi woolens, carpets, |
Ac.; abo on hardware general-1
ly. The Senate amendment to ad?
mit breeding animals free of duty is;
struck ont. The committee advanced
duties on juto, homj) and flax largely
above tin- Senate rates. Tho Senate
provision allowing the Pacific Rail-j
road to buy other than American rails
has boon stricken out.
As tin4 bill ranges, duties average
from 75 to 150 per cont., and up
wards. On salt, the duty is consider- '
ably higher than 250 per cent.

MONET. ORDERS.-The postal money ,
order system is proving a great eon-1
vrnienee, and is increasing in nil our |
cities where such offices exist. In
Savannah the Postmaster averages I,
twenty orders a day. Orders are is- '
sued in any amount not exceeding ! j
$50; and not exceeding 8150 can be j
issued to the same person on one post ! j
office in one day. The fees of money ; <
orders are 10 cents for an order not ? ?
exceeding $20, and 25 cents for over j
820 and not exceeding 850. This L
system of transmitting small sums of |
money is rapidly increasing in public
favor, and Postmaster Harris now j
sells some twenty orders per day. j 1

ANOTHER IMPORTANT D?CISION.- j
Tho Montgomery Advertiser says ot*
a recent decision of thc Supreme
Court of Alabama: Tho case of Haw?
kins vs. Nelson was an action of deti?
nue for a hors<> in Walker Circuit
Court, and the Supreme Court de?
cides that when: ahorse, th?' property
of ..- non-combatant, was tukenbythe
army of the United States; was aban?
doned by them and left on the plain?
tiff's premises, and was afterwards
regained by the owner, the plaintiff
cannot recover him from the owner,
by action at law, without showing
that the seizure by tho army was
authorized by the law of nations, as
recognized by the published general
orders for the regulation of the
United States army.

CRIME IN NEW YORK. In the city
of New York, there were, during the
your 186G, no fewer than seventy-one
homicides and murders, without in?
cluding numerous cases of death by
drowning or other means, where it
was not clear whether or not tl ere
had boon foul play. Only thirty
three persons were arrested for these
crimes, and tho records of the courts
show only fifteen convictions, (seve?
ral of which wore offences committed
in a previous year,) with nineteen
prisoners still to bc tried. That is to
say, of the perpetrators of clear and
unmistakable homicides in New Vori:,
more f1 au fifty per con', are not
arreste . . and nearly eighty per cent,
arc no punished.

THE CULTURE OE- COTTON.-The
success which attended the culture o
cotton last year in the vicinity o:
Petersburgj'as well as in other part:
of lower Virginia, bas so favorably
impressed tho agricultural public at
to lead to its probable introduction
into districts where the plant ha:
hitherto been an entire stranger. I
is stated, on good authority, that tin
tobacco planters of the fertile Dan
ville district-the finest tobacco pro
duciug region in tho State-havi
made extensive arrangements, by tin
purchase of Fertilizers, for exchang
ing their former favorite crop, it
considerable part at least, for that o
cotton.

SALT IN CHIMNEYS.-The .Bostoi
Transcript recommends that in build
ing chimneys, brick-layers shonh
put a quantity of salt into the morta
with which the intercouses of bric]
are to be laid. The effect will b
that there will never bo any accumu
cition of soot in the chimney, fo
the reason that the salt in the poi
tion of mortar which is expose?
absorbs moisture every dump day
The soot, thus becoming damp, fall
down into the fire-place.

THE NEW HOSE CARRIAGE. We
stated in the Phixni.c several days
ago, and published a description of
the apparatus at the tin:-4, that tin
New York Firemen's Association in?
tended presenting the "Indepen?

handsome hose- reel. Sine' then, we
have learned some further particulars
relative to the matter, and the pre?
parations which are being made by
our Columbia firemen to receive it.
The reel, with a, full complement of
hose, is to be shipped from New Y'ork
for Charleston, on Saturday, the lid
of March. A committee of ten will
leave (by land) for Charleston, on the
same day, arriving in the Queen City
tho Tuesday following, where they
will take charge of the reel and put it
in thorough order. Preparations
have been made by the firemen and
City Council of Charleston to enter?
tain thom, and they will likely re?
main there until Thursday morning,
the 7th, when they will leave for Co?
lumbia. The following gentlemen
compose the Committee: Henry Wil?

Louis J. Parker. vice-Presidents; Ro?
bert Wright, Secretary; Capt. J. W.
Downing, J. Frank Burns, Abraham
Cleamao, Tobias Laurence, John H.
Froeligh and Orlando Rockfelloe.
Arrangements are making in thiscity
to give the committee4 a proper recep?
tion, and make their stay as pleasant
as possible. A ball is to be given in
Janney's Hall, on or about the 7th of
March, and from the favorable opi?
nions which have been expressed
with reference to the matter by all
parties, there will doubtless IK a
large gathering of the fair sex, and as
a consequence, it will prove a de?
lightful entertainment, as where V. e

follow. We shall publish the full
programme of the reception in a few
