COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Morning, August 19,1873. Hnnufuctnrt* in (lie South. The importance of diversifying the in? dustry of tho South, ospeciully iu regard lo the iuoreaso of manufactures, is be? ginning to bo more appreciated by the people of this section than ever before. It is stated that the spinning aud weav? ing of cotton in the cotton growing States has paid much better, takiug ten years together, than ruising this staple. The goods of the cotton factory iu Au? gusta, Georgia, havo been sold in New York aud other largo markets, and its profit." havo been very satisfactory. It has been in operation ovor twenty-five years. After keeping up its machinery and providing for all depreciation, it has been ablo to divido twonty per cent, profit yearly on its capital. This is far better than cotton planters aro doing. The compauy is now makiug a great in? crease to its manufacturing capacity. The Gf??u?vili? factory makes a vory favorable showing, and those at Colum? bus, Georgia, where o variety of fabrics are produced, find a most profitable home market. Both South Carolina and Georgia producers are beginning to ex? press the feeling that "the cotton mills must come to tho cotton." The Atlanta Constitution says: i "It pays the mill proprietors and it pays the cotton producers to bring them together. For instance, the mills of Co? lumbus took this season 7,251 bales, fwhich netted tho producers $700,000, and the mills then put the 7,251 bales into shapes that brought nearly $2,000, 000. The largo difference accrues almost entirely to the people and producers of Columbus. It breeds other industries and other wealth here in Georgia, in? stead of Bhode Island or Massachusetts. It seems to be conceded that tho cotton fabrics of the future will be manufac? tured among the cotton fields. We can -and will compel the New England manu t-ctarers to either relinquish their mills in the North, or move them to tho raw material." The success which the South has al? ready realized in manufacturing is gra? tifying. It clearly establishes its capa? city to eompete with any other section in manufacturing heavy yarns and cer? tain classes of fabrics, in which a steady improvement is apparent. It gives use? ful employment to deserving and other? wise comparatively helpless persons. There are many who are of necessity idle, and others whose labor is not em? ployed in a remunerative way, except there be tho light employment which manufactures afford. It is stated that an active girl finds no difficulty in su? perintending four power looms in a cot? ton factory, and can earn moro than she ^(or any substitute for) can by picking cotton in a field. Farming in this sec / tion hardly pays five per cent, interest on capital, while manufactures aro pay ' ing in 6ome localities from fifteen to twenty per cent. The multiplication of manufactures would better the farmers and diversify their products. At pre? sent, farms are worn out, and their value depreciated by the perpetual cul? tivation of one staple; while manufac? turing indastry, without the aid of costly manures, preserves its powers of recuperation. On the face of it, it seems uuwiBe enough to transport cot? ton a thousand miles from the place where it is grown to a harsh and rigor? ous climato, to be oardud, spun and wjvo, when it might be done on the spot, in the most genial wiuter climate of tho country, whero tho water-courses are never interfered with by tho rigors of culd and ice, and means of subsist? ence for operath could be raised iu abundance on the spot. Hence it would seem reasonable that more capital should be devoted in the South to the manufacture of cotton. At the same time, it cannot bo expected that tho en? tire cotton manufacture of tho country should centre in the South. The pro? duction of fine gooda especially, und even in somo varieties of heavy fabrics, require climate, market, lubor and social condition, as well* us a nearness to financial centres, which are widely dif? ferent from those that belong to the growth of cotton. In a lato account of the Vienna Exhibition, the intelligent and inquisitive Emperor of Austria is said to have, expressed admiration and interest of the productions of tho South, specimens of whoso cotton, to? bacco, Bugar and hemp were on exhibi? tion. Tbero is no land on tho earth ip the possession of a civilized people which has such a variety of agricultural and minorul wealth as the Southern States. All that is necessary to com? plete its prosperity is its political roha biliment, and tho wiso application ol machinery and science in the develop? ment of its phyeical resources aud ad? vantages. -? - . Mr, Nichols, a person who died re? cently in France, was buried with throe skeletons, which he had carefully pre? served for the purpose. Cui bono? A Female Fiend.?On Tuesday night lost, tho mutilated corpse of a yoang boy, named Willie Garter, was foand under a trestle of tho Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, near Wilmington. The deceased was a eon of Mr. Robert Garter, an engineer of the Wilmington, Charlotte and Augusta Railroad, and a native of this State. For Bovorol days, a dark mystery surrounded the affair. On Thursday, however, a colored boy, named David Martin, wan arrested on suspicion of being concernod in tho murder, and made a confession, whioh stamps the deed as ono of tho most cruel and atrooious in the annals of crime. He states, in effect, thut himself and two other colored boys?Jimmie Anderson, alias Frcoman, nnd Bill?had been" recently approached by a womau, who calls herself Mrs. Carter, who, it seonis, is not tho mother of tho hoy, nor yet his legalized step-mother, but a woman whoso rulation is a'^out tho same, barring the eolemuiiy of tho inar riogo covenant. She promised them $10, if thoy would succeed in drowning this boy, Willio Carter. David says ho told her that he couldn't do it; that it would get both hor nnd themselves in trouble; and, besides, it was wrong. Following Martin's statement further, it appears that this woman, with 'specious arguments, endeavored still to incite them to the deed, avowing to them, among other things, that it was no more harm to them to kill Willio Garter than for one soldier to kill another in battle, and that she .could pray off nil the sin that thoy would thus'commit in one week's time. She after wards, Martin states further, offered them ten cents to threw Willie's clothes in the stream, while they wore bathing, so as to induce him to swim nfter them, and that proba? bly ho would drown before he could re? turn to shoro. All four went together to tho oreek on Monday afternoon, aud on tho way, Anderson und Hooper pro. posed to Martin to kill Carter, and on his refusal to accodo to tho proposition, they said, ''Well, if you won't do it, wo will." On arriving at the creek, at a point near the butoher-peo, not far from the bridge, Anderson and Hooper un? dressed and wont into the water, lenving 1 Martin on the bank. Martin threw Carter's clothes into the creek, when tho latter jumped in and secured them, re? placing them on tho bank. Anderson and Hooper immediately seized the gar? ments and threw them farther into the stream; upon which they took hold of Carter, saying they tvould drown him, and forcing him under the water. Mar? tin, seeing that the intention of the other boys was to drown Carter, ran off. Upon being asked how the body of the deceased beoamo mutilated in such a horrible manner, he replied, that he could not tell. He said he had no knife; but in reply to a question, stated that the other two boys did have knives, but they had not used them up to the time of his leaving. The woman, Carter, and the boy have been placed in jail, but tho other murderers have not yet been ar? rested. Naval Preparations for War.?The 1 New York World says: JFacts are not wanting to show that an effort is in pro? gress in administration circles to pro? voke trouble with Mexico, and this being the case, certain military and naval preparations now going on at Now Orleans and its vicinity are not without their suggestivcueas. Warlike prepara? tions are active in that city*at present over the following facts, to wit: that two naval officers havo recently arrived there to recruit for tho navy; the gun-bouts in the port are being prepurcd for aea; officers of General Emory's staff havo just returned from an inspection of the Gulf forts, which aro being heavily strengthened; aud, finally, fortifications aro to bo immediately constructed on Grand Isle. All this activity may only imply a suddcu impulse of industry on tho part of the Navy Department, or again it may mean that the Administra? tion is preparing for an emergency which it may provoke itself. Killed nis Father.?A terrible tra? gedy was enacted near Oak Grove, Lauderdale County, Tonn,, .Saturday. A man named Anatin, who has been living near tho village a short time, went borne drunk und began to ubuso his wife. His ton Charley, aged eight? een, coming in, he turned upon the boy and commenced abusing him, aud in answento a rough demand, tho boy re? turned a sharp answer, which so enrr^ed him that ho drew a revolver and snapped threo caps at tho eon. who, seeing his danger, snatched a ehot-gnu from the rack and fired upon h? lather, killing him instantly. an Aloerixe Romance.?-Three Al? gerian convicts from tho Frouoh penal colony of Cayenne, South America, whither they hud been sentenced for ten years each, ono for robbing, nuother for murder, and a third for assaulting a French oilicor, have arrived at Balti? more. They claim to have escaped in company with 150 fellow-convicts, and aftor terrible Bufferings in tho swamps aud jungles, reached Demarnra. They havo been committed to tho Bay View Asylum. Col. B. G. L?chelt wriles as follows concerning tho catcrpillur<loBtroyer: "I have used it upou 3(J0 acres, killing the catorpillar in every instance, ami that without injury to tho plant. If used with ordinury oaro no injury will ever occur. I think tho sizo of tho.plant should govorn as to the amount used; about twenty pounds being the average. I shall use tho destroyer on CUO acres moro, fully satisfied that it will prevent the caterpillar from doiug uny material harm." Tho body of a man, supposed to be James Nichols, of Canada, was found hanging from tho limb of u troo in a grove neur Newcastle, Del., on Friday evening last, aud tho circumstances point strongly to foul play. The Lke Dcnlap Case,?A contem? porary thus explains the present status of the Lee Danlap case: "InDecember, 1868, Lee Danlap, a colored mam^hot and instantly kilted, in the city of Charlotte, a white man, James Qleason. The prisoner waived his trial in the County in which ho resided, and the case was removed to an adjoining County, whore the prisoner was found guilty of murder. At the next term of tho court, the prisoner filed an affidavit, in which in substance ho olaimed 'that the feeling against him is very great, and has boon identified, ko.; that justice iSagdenied 'him under the laws of tho State, and prays for tho removal of his indictment from tho State Court to the United States Circuit Court for the District of North Carolina.' Tho Judge who had formorly sentenced Dunlap heard his prayer and ordered the re? moval as asked for. Then succeeded more legal manceuvroing, and now, after five years of litigation, one conviction, one sentence, two appeal* to tho ?tato Supremo Court, and a short hearing in tho Fedoral Courts, tho case of Danlap now gees up to the last tribunal for a decision upon the construction of the most vital 'provision of the civil rights law." SrECiE Payments.?The chances are that France, after a most disastrous war, which ended in tho surrender of Na? poleon III, at Sedan, September 2d, 1870, will rosnme specie payments years before tho Uuitod States. Tho New York Express says that tho fact is that we have not one-half the speoio iu the country that France has. There gold bears a premium of less than of 1 per oent., and here it is at a premium of Franco has been preparing nearly three years for specie payments, while the United States has been for eight preparing not to resume. Each coun? try, in its way, has been equally suc? cessful, but the one?and our own country, wo are sorry to say?has been successful in tho wrong direction. A conductor on tho Chicago and Alton Boad is reported as having for? bidden honeymoon "hilling and coo? ing." Obsorving a bridegroom's arm oat of place, he forbade further demon? strations. "But I have a right to hug her," said John. "Not on a railroad," said tho conductor; "there is a law againBt all unjust discriminations on railroads, and as I haven't a woman for each man on the train to hug, yonr action is in violation of the law, and must be stopped." "The Government."?The personal pronoun "I" has sufficient prominence in President' MaoMahon's message to the French Assembly proroguing the session. The President declares his firm resolution to "place France in com? plete possession of herself." He says nothing about tho republic, but mots than once draws an ominous distinc? tion between "tho Government" and "the Assembly." The officials of the Southern Railway Security Company, of which combina? tion "the Bichmond and Danville Bail road Company is a part, deny that the lattor company has decidod to surrender the lease of the North Carolina Bail road from Greensboro to Charlotte, and thus terminate all suits as to its validity and the right of the lessee to chunge the gangeof the leased road." A new and important fact in bilk cul? ture has been developed by the Accli? mation Society, of France?namely, that silk of varied color can be pro? duced by feeding the silkworm on dif? ferent leaves. Worms fed on vine leaves produoe a silk of a magnificent red co? lor. Lettuce has beeu found to pro? duce an emerald green colored silk. Pope PiuB IX is reported as so fully restored to health as to be able to re sumo his usual food and exercise.

Another rope-walker proposes to cross Niagara below the falls on a cable longer and higher than tho one used by 1>Imidin; and iiually to imitate Sam Patch by jumping into the boiling stream below. When all is over, there probably won't be even a patch of him left. The citizens of Unionlown, Va., feel a little cold toward Henry Snyder. His wife fell down a well, und he rode six? teen miles to borrow a rope to pull her out, when there was a twenty-foot lad? der leaning against tho house.

Ciiiild Taken Ui\?About 7 o'clock, last evening, a small white boy, who ap? peared to bo between four and fivo years of age, was found at the corner of Main and Gervais stroots. Ho could givo no intelligent account of himself or his re? sidence. Ho gavo hia name as John Patrick, and stated that ho lived near -Wallace. Policomun Bright, after earnest but futilo efforts to ascertain where tho child lived, carriod him to the guard house, where tho anxious parents may rest assured that their little boy is well cared for; and where they can have him restored to them. Policeman Bright's dischargo of duty iu highly commendable, and should be emulated by tho whole police force. True.?Tbo Richmond Dispatch uses the following language. It will apply to South Carolina as well: "The negroes are not the most acute of observers, yet they can distinguish a jay-bird from a jackass. They begiu to see that those who flatter them most do no more for them thau thoBO who tell them no lies. They see little difference botwecu whites in their conduct towards them, save that they get all their em? ployment and all their compensation from the Conservative whites. The other side only musters them about and foeds them up with 6ugarod promises that are never redeemed, in order to get their votes. They arc neither deluded nor courted by Conservatives, but we believe they will not again break their necks to vote for the men who have so long deluded them and been kept in good places by their votes." In this connection, our "poic" writes: Wo'vo suffered much by war's rude touch, But the load that makes us st -gger, Ih that accursed thing they call The Yankee carpet-bagger. By honeyed word nud phrases sweet, By one means or auother. By party lash, by threat or treat, He dupes his sable brother, llii hugs him and he flatters him, Pats him, cails him honey, And thus he greases th'e machine By which he makes his money. At telling lies, he is aitfait, At stealing, he's perfection; He di es not cure what people say, So he escapes detection. Not that for this he'd care a straw, Nor damaged reputation; Ho snaps his lingers at the law? He'd lose the situation. Like Spartan youth to theft he's trained, But not to save tho nation; To leave it with its Treasury drained Is finished education. He'll sell the sheds from o'er our heuds, The taxes he must gather, And say to us dou't make a fuss And never mind the weather. Ho comes to glean by tricks no mean That even Grant, his mast or. Called loudly for great James L. Orr To save him from disaster. Orr called a meetiug for reform; Some dozen rogues attended, Confessed their faults in solemn form, But never one amended. At soent of cash some native trash? Some Jews around him gather; Like vultures at a carrion feast, These birds all of a feather. But every dog must have hiB day And 60 the carpet-bagger, And in good time he'll pass away I Without the aid of dagger. Nor should he feel the patriot's steel? 'Twould do him too much honor; Just give him rope, him?eif he'll hang? Tho halter ho was born for. Mail Arrangements.?The Northern mail opens 6.30 and 10..30 A. M.; closes 8 A. M. and G.30 P. M.

AlotG Taken at|His Word.?A correspond? ent of the Enoxville Press and Herald writes: "Tho cholera at Greenville has developed a few cases of monstrous de? pravity, ono of which I will relate, with? out mentioning names. An old gentle? man, probably nearly seventy years of age, who lived a mile or two in the country, and is noted for his reckless? ness and utter defiance of the laws of God, came into town ono day, nnd, pass? ing down tho street, cried out that he in? tended to spread tho cholera over the town. Ho theu went to an undertaker, and wanted to know if he could make ; him a co?iu, and what he would charge. The reply was, that if he wanted it be I fore his death, he would charge him 825; I but if pfter, ho would charge only Sl-i. lie toid him to proceed with the matter, but to be sure to make it out of two-iuch plank, and leave it open at both ends, so that if the, devil came iu at one end, he could escape at the other. That night he was stricken dowu with tho cholera, and by morning was a corpse." IIov>- the Redskins Wed.?A recent visitor among tho Indians in Florida gives an account of a marriage cere? mony which ho witnessed: "The com? pany was composed of the whole tribe, all of whom were dressed in their best finery. A circle was formed, the bride moved to the centre, holding in her hand an ear of corn. Then tho bride? groom advanced alongside of her, with a deer's leg iu his hand. The mutual exchange comprises the wholo cere? mony. Afttr tho ceremony tho whole company advanced and feasted on hear meat and honey for two days and nights."
