CQf,rjaiBIAv s. c. ? r . ! ' . , Sunday Horning, November 884,1872. . Celto'o Manufacture?\n Inspiring Bx? ' ?mple. , . There is a subject to which we me; often profitably recur. It is one of un? failing interest, aud holds oat the pro miee of almost incalculable advantages. We refer to oottoa manufacturing at tbe South. We have had ocoasion to show .that a real progress, has been made in this business within the last three years. Some of our Southern communities seem alive to tbe riob prospects it offers. Not bo others., Notably our own city and vicinity appear to be indifferent to them. Yet the profits and the desirableness of this mode of money investment and its - numerous incidental attractions and benefils, are all as plain as daylight, and , need no further elucidation. ? Wo trust that we are about to enter apon a period of quiet. We shall have an interval of release from political agi? tations for some time to come. So de eisive a vote as that just given to General Grant will Bettle things for awhile, and the next session of Gongress being for a short term, will afford no great field for agitation. The United States Govern? ment may, by its action daring this in? terval, if it so pleases, do mach to re? store social order and produce harmony in the South, and to promote the confi? dence of European immigrants in the . stability of Southern society, law and industry. This will be our own oppor? tunity, too, to do effective work in ? kho cause of immigration, and more fully . to J ocoopy the field of manufactures. The true way to success iu this will be Withdraw .our eyes from looking -abroad for help, and earnestly to com? mence ourselves',' and .do what we cau. It-will be a convincing argument in its favor, if, with our email means, and in . our crippled condition, we succeed in ? building up an increasing and inviting business of this kind. Investments of capital, flow of immigration, confidence iu our future, an enterprising spirit, and > a highly industrious aud thriving popu? lation, will all be made and developed amongst us, if we continue to demon? strate the success of manufacturing here. It will be a glorious thing for oar cotton ' producing region to show that it is capa? ble of placing, through home manufac? ture of cotton, added to its production, a. balance against European importations nearly twice.ob large as the large one now oredited to that source. This is feasible, and will One day be done. We shall export cotton yarn as we now do the raw material. The progress indicat? ed iu increasing our home consumption ?' of ootton fifty per oent. in three years,' or in showing a growth in cotton manu? facturing three times more rapid South than it has been North in that time, is significant of a still more rapid increase in the future. The volume will deepen aud widen us it flows. Lot as derive a lesson from tho exam? ple of oar prosperous and aotive sister eity, Augusta, Ga. The stock of the Augusta Factory is worth 100 per cent, premium. It is seldom found upon the market, in oouseqaenoe of its extraordi? nary value. It is too good to dispose of. The city has just completed an enlarge? ment of its canal to 150 feet in width and Id deep, with 28 feet fall. It has now a large surplus water power unemployed. A memorial has been drawn up aud pre? sented to the City Council, proposing, for tho purpose of encouraging the in? vestment of capital in mills Bituated on this Bite, that it pass an ordinance giving a. bonus of three per cent, on all capital so to be need, in Bums of $600,000, . brought from beyond the limits of Au? gusta and the County of Richmond The Council is now considering tho pro? position embodied in this memorial. If passed, it will offar temptations to capi? tal whioh can hardly be resisted. Tho Graoiteville Company, it is said, bus de? termined to baild a 8500,000 mill, and with each inducements, muy invest in Augusta. We copy from tho memorial a statement of the expected benefits, as follows: For every $18,000 actually spent in ?ommissiou, a faotory, eimilar in eapa pity to the Augusta mills, will ho esta? blished in this city, yielding at onco u jovenuo in water rents, and have its ca? pital stock ultimately liable to taxation. Such an otter would at once interest merchants, brokers, and all those whoso business it is to influence tho investment . of capital, in directing such investments toward us, secure their assistance in ob? taining subscriptions abroud to compa? nies projected by oar own people, cause the manufacturing advantages of this . locality to be forcibly presented every? where to the attention of capitalists, aud induce capitalists themselves beyond our limits to take an aotive part in forming companies to be established among us. This is an example of wide-awake in? terest set us by our Georgia neighbor, whioh it behooves us to hoed. We may not, as wo cannot, do tho same things as are there done, but the example of spirit, of aotivitv. of bold, yet weli-con Bidcrod sad Well-oaloqlated venture, Bhoald ?tut bo lost upon no. It is not Bftfe always to nay business, bat. tho ex penditore necessary to utilize water powers; even if it be extraordinary, is soon lost sight of in the large profits and satisfactory dividends whioh they are certain to yield to good management. Mr. Boutwell is one of the most fa? mous ?'hanky-panky" men in prominent places that tho world has ever seen. No rival juggler cau toss balls, mystify with disappearing pocket-handkerchiefs, or shufile cards with half the ingenuity he displays in manipulating tho national balance sheets. In his hands the na? tional dobt becomes a perfect phantas? magoria, assuming any and all forms at his magic bidding. Ho has lately treat? ed the country to some dissolving views of this great harden, calculated to oheer and encourage, but how long they will remain impressed upon the vision do ponds ontircly upon his manipulation of the magio lantern, from which they ere evolved. He Bays that the debt is now only $2,276,328,101.44-100, (he is par? ticular about the cents,) and that the re? duction in Ootobcr alone amounted to 85,228,417.32-100. This pre supposes the conclusion that only thirty-three years will be contumcd in paying it oil to the uttermost farthing; and we sincerely hope that sach may be tho prospect. Unfortunately, Mr. Bout well's practices do not keep paco with bis professions. While be was mak? ing this brilliant exhibit he was strenuously oodeavoring to conceal a secret issue of ?5,000,000 iu currency, made in connection with the gold sale upon the eve of the Pennsyl? vania election, to rig the stock market out of funds for Radical eleotion ex? penses. Now that the danger is past und Grant's triumph is assured, he owos np, and says: "There is no official con? cealment;" but promises not to repeat sach a dangerous aud oppressive experi? ment. Tbiu is all the satisfaction to be had by tho many heavy losers, some of whom were entirely rained by this shab? by trick. For this promise accompany? ing tho confession wo have, unfortunate? ly, no other guaranty than Mr. Bout well's word. Ho holds in his two little hands tho destinies for good or evil of every man doing business in the coun? try. He not only regulutes tho prico of gold, controls exchanges, but by enlarg? ing or contracting tho currency at will, can rain his enemies in a day, or roll his friends into a sea of wealth. His cba ?meleon-liko exhibits are pretty to look at, but tbey hardly compensate for the neck-rasping given us by the chain with wbiob bo jerks us up occusiouully to in? spect them. . < ? i Gratitudo in Euglaud is a pluut of slow growth. Borne time utter Bob Burns died they erected a monument to his memory. His old mother, while gazing on it with tears of tender memory trickling down her cheek, ex? claimed: "O Robert! Ye asked them for bread and they've given ye a stone." And now the report comes that the Duke of Bedford has given Mr. Boobm an order for a statue of John BunyaD, to be presentod to the town in whose jail "The Pilgrim's Progress" was writ? ten and where its author languished for thirteen years. This thing of abusing a fellow while he lives and honoring him after ho is dead aud gone is about as mean as it is for a rich old aunt to with? hold her fortnno from an only nephew and thon outlive him. ?-???-? YonK vs. IiANCAsrKtt.?A cotemporary says: "One of the peculiarities of the Act ol tlia late General Assembly in passing or adopting tho code, without reading it, has just been brought to light. It hap pons in this way: Fort Mills Precinct, formerly in York County, by a clause inserted iu tho codo, is placed in Lan . caster County, tho clause referred to de? fining tbo Catawba River to bo the boundary between the Counties to the North Carolina lino. Tho people, aud in fact their immediate officers, of both Counties, knew nothing of this change, even if the Legislature did, which is very doubtful; and it is a fact, that iu tbo lato uleotiuns, no managers were ap? pointed for the Fort Mills PreciDct by Lancaster Connty, but, as usual hereto? fore, wore appointed by York County, and the poople voted iu tho lust named County. Further, had the vote in Coun? ties beeu given as tho bonndaries in tho code indicate, Lancaster would have had, it is assorted, a full Republican minority, and York woald hove gone Democratic, as tbo Fort Mills Prooinct is one of the largest. The error was disco? vered rather singularly, in this wise: Several persons of Lancaster are report? ed to bavo said to a certain gentleman, 'We could not place the most implicit confidence in oar mail arrangements, and so wo sent to Fort Mills.' Upon being informed that Fort Mills was in Lancaster, they expressed surprise. A roforenoo to tho code, however, con? vinced them of that fact." Tho French National Assembly has agreed to discuss at an early day the proposition for restoriog to the Orleans Pxi??u? tiiei? o?????sied prcpor'y, How to Regain the Lett Trade of Co? lombia, s Mb. Editor: Three questions enter into the discussion of this question: First. Is it tho wish ?f her citizens to regain the trade which has been diverted to other channels? Second. Can it be done by any tnt-aus within their power? Third. What means should be em? ployed as a preliminary step? The answer .to tho 'fitst of these ques? tions is an emphatic yet-! The ecoond also admits of an affirma? tive answer. The potrer exists with the I will. The third, then, is the only question whioh deuuuds our ntteution, und the proposition to commence the restora? tion of our now languishing trade by offering increased facilities to those who would trudu with ub, if tbo needed faci? lities were afforded, is aow before us. A.warehouse for tho storage of cottou and other produce is needed as the pre? liminary step in the advance movement. The suggestion has ulreudy beeu made, and to our mind it aontuius the germ of that growth whioh may yet cheer the hearts of its propagators, by its spread? ing branches laden with fruit, whereoi we may eat aud be refreshed. It will hardly be contended that we now have sufficient storage room for a cotton trade of any considerable dimensions. This fact repels the sellers of cottou of our own neighborhood, and tho pur? chasers of cotton from abroad. We lose all the advantages of our lo? cation. Our city is central; is surround? ed by cotton growers; has four impor? tant railroads to bring cotton to our doors; and yet we get but little of the trade. It is diverted to places less favor? ably situated, but where there is mure of the spirit of t'literpmc which entices trade?-'where better fuoibties are afforded for the storage aud safety of our chief commodity. Put this enterprise on foot. It will be an entering wedge, and we shall soou suo tho widening of the opening to a broad way to prosperity. Other enter? prises might be suggested of equal, per? haps of greater, importance tbau this. A cottou factory or two, fed by our un? rivaled water power, would be a potent meuus of building our city and increas? ing its market for cottou. But tbo ware? house plan is cheap aud feasible a*id should bo tried. S. Fire.?Ou Suuduy, the 17th, the well known residence of the late Otipt. John S. Jennings, on South Edisto, Orange burg County, was entirely destroyed by tire. The accid nt wus caused by the sparks from the chimney igniting the old shingles which covered the roof, aud the wind at the time, blowing fresh, scarcely an hour was needed to reduce the entire building to ashes. The widow of the former proprietor, now in the autumn of life, clinging with tenacity to the sccue of so much happiness and prosperity iu tho duye that uro gone never to return, is sheltered iu an old uegro house on the place, aud the many fur und near who huve shared the hospitality and beeu the recipients of the geuiul acts of kindness, for which Capt. Jennings was so widely kuowu, will learn of the calamity with regret. An effort is being made to assist in providing for Mrs. Jcu lings a new homo fur tho few remaining years of her life, beneath the same old shade trees planted by her husband, aud all who are desirous of assisting iu the work cuu communicate with Messrs, Counts & Wroton, Charleston, Capt. Isaac Bam? berg, at Bamberg, South Carolina K til road, and with Messrs. Uutsou & Legare, Orangeburg C. H., S. C. Oor New Solicitor.?It would have afforded us much pleasure to havo been able to speak in most aommeudatury terms of the conduct and ability of the newly-elected Solicitor of this Circuit; but wo cannot find it consistent with our duty to pasB unnoticed what we consider u want of respect for himself or his po? sition and an utter disregard of the pub lio interest in u public officer. We re? gret to state that in consequence of the unfit condition of the Solicitor, a large number of cases on the Sessions Dockt t was postponed to tho next term of the court. We sincerely hope that it was au accidental occurrence, und that he will retrieve his chaructor ut tho next court that he attends. That Mr. Fleming has ubilities there is no doubt, und if he .vi 11 overcome that unfortunate morbid appe? tite, wo are confident ho will make a good aud acceptable officer. It will give us pleasure to record such a change. [Union 'limes The Case of Anderson, the Bank FoitOKR.?Iu Savannah, ou Thursday morning, a court of inquiry was held by Judge SuhIcy, in tho case of Wm. Audur son. tho cBoapod bauk forger. motion wus made by lion. Walter S. Chisholm, on the part of tho prosecu? tion, to obtain tho grunting of au order from the court certifying to tho prohu ble guilt of tho accused, to be forwarded to tho President ut Washington, to se? cure the issuance of a proclamation from the Chief Executive for the apprehen? sion and commitment of said William Anderson, wherever and whenever he may be found. After argument by cotiu sel, Judge Sohley grunted the order. Fatal Accident on the State Road. On Wednesday morning, Mr. Thon. J. Roaoh, a train hand on the Western und Atlautio Railroad, fell from the top of a train ut StcgaU's Station, fracturing Ids skull and causing his almost immediate death. Mr. Roaoh was a native of Spar tanburg, S. 0. The difficulty with the London police still continues.

The petty thefts aud burglaries perpe? trated in Colombia are becoming of nightly occurrence.

Tho thefts uro too numerous aud the arres's too few to iuftiae a feeling of security among the citizens. We notice many horses on our 6treetp, with heads erect and lively gait, no blankets aud a clear nose; thus indicat? ing that there are many who have been fortunate enough to escape the prevailing malady.

The cow was endeavoring to free herself of tho disagreeable sucker at the time. The Board of Trade, after a lengthy discussion', on Friday night, postponed tho consideration of the establishment of a cotton warehouse until next regular meeting. Tho Library Committee was iustructed to solicit subscriptions for the purchase of books for the contemplated library. John O. Shaw aud U. A. McCorkie, of Yoik, who, iu 1871, were, as is supposed, eugaged in a difficulty with some of the State constabulary, during which a raau was fatally shot, left the State. They returned recently, upon the assuruueo that they should have a fair trial, nnd ou [ the 21st, delivered themselves to the Sheriff of York. Judge Muckey bus issued u writ of Imbe/ts carpus, return? able iu tho Court House of llichlaud, to? morrow, with a view of bailing Messrs. Shaw aud McCorkie.

As a means of facili? tating this second cooking, in coses where the process is slowly and imper? fectly performed, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is invaluable. It promotes the generation of heat in the living laborato? ry in which the crude materials for building up and recruiting the human frame ure turned into convertible ali? ments. But this is not all. It acts beneficially upon the cellular membrane which secretes the gastric juice, upon the jiiver, which produces that natural laxative, the bile, upon the vessels whioh receive the digested food, and upon the absorbents which connect the digestive organs with the channels of circulation. If any portion of this complex machine? ry is out of order, the Bitters will set it right, thus promoting vigorous diges? tion, healthy secretion, and the produc? tion of pare, rich, life sustaining blood.
