Tiie Cotton and Woolen Factory
of Grady .& Hawthorne "And
Other Factories in Greenville.? j
Wc had the pleasure, one flay this I
week, of accompanying that enter-!
prising a:ul valuable citizen, Jno. W.
Grady, to the Factory owned by himself
and Mr. TTawthorne, of Abbeville,
situated about six and a half
miles below Greenville, on Reedy
River. The establishment is in fine
"working order. It was pleasing to
observe so largo a number of contented
and good looking, operatives
industriously and profitably engaged
in the establishment. We found oiir
old friends, Col. II. T. Shumate,
father of the Sheriff, occupied as the
chief business and general superintcjndar.t
of the establishment, book
keeper, fee., and performing his duties
well, as lie has usually hitherto every
aury o: ms n.o.
In the Factory, there arc one thousand
and fifty spindles in running order,
twenty-six looms, abo-ut twenty
of which are regularly at work, making
an average at times of one thousand
yards cf osnaburgs daily. The
spindles furnish the yarn for this cloth,
and a daily surplus besides of fifty or
sixty bounches. The Woolen Factory
has a carding machine and spinners,
and turns out a very excellent
article of cloth. It* is the intention
of Messrs Grady & Hawthorne to
manufacture a fine article of jeans
for the fall market. Connected with
the establishment is a fine corn and
flour mill, and saw mill and small
machine shop. ,
Wc learned from Mr. Grady and
that veteran pioneer of cotton factories
in this State, and skillful machinist,
Mr. John Bates, (who was-in
company,) that in the four cotton
Xiiitoviw ww-miming in "Greenville;
there arc employed about three thous-and
sc\ en hundrcdyspindles. Batesvillc
is somewhat the largest cotton
factory of the District. We onby
wish the manufacturing business was
increased one hundred folcl 111 Urecn.ville,
as it ought to be, and might
profitably be increased. But the
time for the extension will arrive
when things are more settled. There
is no better country and climate foi
woolen and cotton factories in the
world, perhaps, than in Greenville.

Perilous Balloon Voyage.?Mr.
iladsman has made a curious voyage
iu a bailoon from Dublin to a place
near Appleby, crossing the Channel
at night in a pouring rain, which made
the balloon so heavy that it nearly
sank into the sea. Mr. Iladsman
only kept it up by letting down the
grapnel and keeping his hand on the

sent him up again to the hieght of a

A Man-Wolf.?Itev. Dr. Butler,
the well known missionary in .India,
recently returned to this country.
He makes the following statement of
.a remarkable case:
In 18o9 a British soldier, while
bearing a dispatch from one Magistrate
to another in the Kingdom of
Oude, passed an unfrequented ravine,
where he saw a pack of wolves, and
a human being evidently one of their
company. Immediately turning back
he reported the circumstance to the
Magistrate for whom he Was traveling."
The latter forthwith mustered
a number of Coolies and went to the
place. The pack of wolves fled a
short distance and sought refuge in
a sort of cave or den, Beginning to
dig, the party soon discovered the
feet of the wild man and drawing" him
forth, succeeded in binding him and
carrying him to town. Dr. Butler
has seen him often since, and says
lie is evidently a man, and at the
' time of his capture apparently about
twenty-four years of age.
The captured'creature at first violently
resisted the attempt to put
clothing, upon him, but after a wh'Hc.
ceased to tear the garment. He is
now kept by a gentleman in the city
of Thabje-Vampore, some eight hundred
miles west of Calcutta. "When
first takon he was unwilling to eat
anything but raw meat, .and has
! never been able to speak or make any
' approximation to a knowledge of the
i alphabet. ' If any one looks earnest|
ly or sharply at.hiiu, he expresses
1 his annoyance by a half uttered grunt
immediately turning away, ar.d setj
tling upon his haunches in a corner
: of the room, or lies down. lie cats
his food off the ground; and although
| evidently a human being, is in. habits
' a wolf, with the instincts of thai
beast.
This is. certainly an anamalous
fact in natural history, although it is
j said that four similar cages arc knowr
j to have occurred in India,- presenting
1 the same general facts. Wolves a
! bound in India, where the inliabi
j tauts live wholly in the cities and.vjl
| lages; and at the approach cf nigh
! all persons employed in the oper
country retire to these clusters o
houses or huts, and these roving am
ferocious animals find free range. I
frequently happens that a wolf stoal
into a house and carries off a child
So frequently is this the case that ii
the schedules furnished for recording
the mortality in each place, one col
umn is headed, ''Carried off by wolves.1
Dr. Butler's theory of this Strang
case is that a she-wolf probably car
ried off this person when lie was ai
infant, but that before she devoured
her prey, the child instinctive!
searched for food. Beginning to drar
its nourishment, it awoke in the wol
i the maternal instinct which led to th
i preservation of its life, and thus th
r TBoy liveff and grew.

A Heartrending Occurrence
?A shocking occurrence transpire"
' near Cincinnati on Sunday, of wliicl
the following are the particulars:?
Mrs. Branc, whose husband, a wel
1 to-do merchant, is now in Memplii
> on a business visit, resides on the sid
hill facing the Hamilton and Daytoi
Railroad track, near Earnest's sta
tion. Sunday morning, as is he
usual custom, she took her childrei
to visit the residence of her father, :
j Mr. Dyers,. Ella, who was totally
blind, stumbled through a trap-door
iii the floor of the kitchen, 'and fen 11
a large cistern beneath. The mother
on seeing this, and having her little
son in her arms, without a moment';
thought, jumped through the trap
door and into the cisfren, for the pur
pose of attempting the rescue of hei
daughter. In making the leap it is
supposed the unfortunate woma" must
have injured herself severely, as slit
immediately sank to the bottom, holding,
as if with a vise, her little son in
her arms. When discovered by Mr.
Dyer, the lives of all had fled.
Columbia (Pa.) Exchange.
Governor Helm, in a recent powerful
speech at Louisville, Kentucky,
thus "hits the nail on the head :"
"I tell yon that the Northern
States are refusing to-let the negro
vote on'their side of the river. They
wish to compel him to remove to the
Southern States, where he will be
allowed' suffrage. This action is based
on the idea that the negro will naturnlltr

and-especially if that climate best
suits him. They wish, therefore, to
ship the negro upon you, because you
dare not control him without running
the risk of the interference of Federal
power."

Reconstruction Commenced in Alabama.?The
Montgomery Advertiser,
of Wednesday, contains the list of
registers appointed in that State.?
The board is composed of three members
from each Senatorial District?
two white and one colored The
Advertiser says: "It is not yet known
how long it will be before the registers
enter upon the discharge of their duties
; but one thing is very certain,
that i't is the duty of every one allowed
the privilege to register and
qualify for voting when the opportunity
is offered. The Reconstruction
or Military law is the only way
left for us to get back into the Union,
and by rejecting it'we only add'to

t> Who is Responsible for African Slavery ?
I. As the imputation of this responsibility
li upon the people of the South seems to con[.
stitute the basis of the appeals now beihgtaadc
to array the r~.es in fatal {hostility against
a eaclvother, we propose to furnish our readers
f Willi. & ltw
I Mr. Bancroft of Massachusetts, the historian,
estimates that during the century, pre,
vious to 1776, "three millions of negroes
were imported by the English."
j In 1698, 1714, *16, '19, 'ol and '64, South
Carolina passed laws imposing duties'upon
^ the importation of negroes, and adopted
other regnlations for the avowed purpose of
? suppressing the evil.
c Iu 1700 an act was passed prohibiting the
! further importation of slaves, but it was dis*
allgwed by the British Government, ".The
1' Governor of South Carolina was rebuked for
1 having assented to if, and a circular letter
1 sent to all the other Governors proliibiting
7 (heir assent to similar nets." Tho trade was
. declared to be "beneficial and necessary to
1 (he Mother country."
In 1770, the Earl of Dartmouth writing for
the British Government said "wo cannot al.
low the colonics to check or discourage, in
any degree, a traffic so beneficial to the nation."

The following extract from an nrticle in
the Charleston Mercury of May 20th,1continties

Of the thirty-nine thousand Afrionns imported,
during these years into Charleston,
the people of South Carolina imported only
two thousand and six. The people of Great
Britian and New England' have been the
most prominent in denouncing us, forhav- 1
ing slaves; yet it appears that Great Britain
imported and sold to us, nineteen thousand
six hundred, and Rhode Island sovon thousand
nine hundred, of the thirty-nine thon- (
sand slaves. Rhode Island, in order that
she might see that the auction block, realized 1
the value of her importations, had in Charles- 1
ton eighty-eight of her trusty natives as the >
consignees of her cargoos Now, let it be re- {
oolleoted, that this was long after the constitution
was in full operation in 1789, and just
before, the entire prohibition of the African
Blave trade took place in 1808, by the terms f
of the constitution. When the constitution Q
was made, 1787, South Carolina had prohibited
the importation of slaves from any quar- *

Mr. Eandolph's Speech.
The following report of.tlic spcqch .of IVfr.
Randolph, to the colored citizens of Cnmdcn,
on Monday night .the 20th in at., lias been
handed u's for publication.
Ho said that emancipation was not confined
to the North American continent; that
it extends over the world. lie referred to
the Hungarians under Kossuth,.to the emancipation
of twenty-five million serfs in'&ussin;to
that of three million slaves by the
Emperor of Brazil; that the spirit of liberty
brooded over the nations the world over.?
That in.the time of Cnaui.es I, King of E'ngJjfcud,
the Puritans fought for the same principles
that arc now held "by the Union'liepublican
party. That the Cavaliers in vain
tried to crush those principles by nn' appeal
to arms, but they failed ro do so, arid Cuables
became a poor, defeated outcast. He then
trnccd what he called tr* remarkable analogy
between tho 'defeat of the RoyaHsf Cavaliers
and tbnt-of the South: said that Cuarleb
1st was defeated, ari. out cast, hiding monarch
; that he and bis party upheld the same
principles of oppression that the South held
in the late rebellion; thai the purituns upheld
the.same enlightened, righteous sentiments
that the North did in the late rebellion;
that like the puritans triumphed; that Jefferson
Davis was defeated, was caught fleeing
from the conquering arms of the Nortl
in the-garb-of an old woman. That the puritans
planted those very principles on th<
eternal rock at Plymouth pthat the Cat At
leks.came over from England filled, as'it ap

sion; that in 16-:?a Dutch ship brou^h
there twenty negro slaves ; that then slavery
gradually spread over the South, ^nd thenci
1 over the North; that, however, the air o
New England was ton fret for a slave to liv
1 in, and that it. soon died out; that instwoU)
having the troublo to extinguish slavery h;
legislative enactment, it just kept still and i
died out-of its own accord; that in the Nev
England States, the Puritan principles o
freedom prevailed against all the obstacles
but that in the South, where the Cavalieuj
settled; slavery flourished like a green baj
tree, soon became an institution. That slavery
suited their-oppressive ideas; that some sab:
that Englandnwas to. blame for the institution
of slavery; that England merely countenanced
it, barely recognized its existence,
and he did not see how any one could sny
that England was the '-Mother of Slavery"
in this country. Spokaof the cause that led
to the war; said that whatever people might
.say, slavery was the bone of contention; that
the Missouri compromise was grnnted to
I *!.? -i.v i-J X !

trodiicc slavery into tlic territories ; that the
North opposed that, and the South said that
the territories had a right to say what tliej'
would do; that, when the North went into the
war, she did-not, he acknowledged, go into it
for the purpose of freeing the slaves; that
when she said to the South, if you lay down
your arms, you shall have your slaves, she
had no idea of freeing them. Rut. when she
saw thai nothing would satisfy her, she put
down her foot and said "thus far shall you
go, but no farther," and she crushed out the
real essence of the strife, namely,t slavcry.-*Hc
then proceeded to ridicule the idea that
the Southern men-w^rc friends to them ; that
it seemed strange though, that the negro had
not ceased to be the boncof contention yet.
The North said, I am your friend, and the
South ditto. That the South had to show it
before they would believe. Lauded the
Union Republican principles, the blessed,
pure, righteous principles of the Puritans.?
lie loved to speak of them as much as the
doctrines of Holy Writ, &c.', for both' taught
the glory of God and the good of their fellowmen.
The principal reason why the Union
Republican Party was tho best was because
it was the strongest; spoke of the cnnacitv of
the negro to1 become educated; that he had
beda in a class with sons of M. C's., and full
blooded negroes, and to save his life he never
couUsee the difference between their accomplishments.
Told the negroes that three
things were necessary to make them prosper.
Education, wealth and economy Advised
them t? send their children to school, to be
economical, and that bye and bye, wealth
would fl*at in upon them, &c., to join the
Union Republican Party, and to be true to
themselves, and get South Carolina back into
the Union.
The Cuban Sugar Crop.?The Havana
Diario de la Marina says it is calculated that
the sugar crop, now nearly in, will not be i
nore than three-fourths as large as that of i
ast year. Ia some districts the falling off 1
vill be fully one-third. Tho oauso was the (
txcessive drought in the cane-growing season, j
? ,
It is an astounding fact, that the losses by j
ire in thte country, in 1866, were one Jiun- \
'red million*, against forty-three millions in 1
865, and an average of eighteen millions per f
nnunt during the five previous years. u

Cliief Justice Chasre has granted a. writ of ]
error in tbo case of : the United States vi. \
Joseph Bruin, whose property was confiscated
by Judge Underwood and sold during
the war. The Writ was grounded on the fol1
lowing reasons; First, the District Court
condemned and sold the absolute estate'of
the petitioner in and to the property, which
judgment was beyond the power of that court
toprhdouncc. Second, the condemnation of
the property was for treason, of which the
party could not be adjudged guilty: except
upon the firfding of a jury." Third, the proceedings
were in admiralty,when they should
have been upon the common law side of the'
court, by information and,not by libel.

during the war, received a telegraphic order
from General" Fremont for 5,000 carbines, at
$22 each. The order was, filled, and the
money for the first half of the lot was paid by
the Government.- For the second half, the
Government reftisedto pay more than'$11,1
000. This tho firm refhscd to accept, and
appealing to. tho.court, they haye been a:
