AMERICAN COTTON MANUFACTURES.—Among
the resources of the South which the war developed
was the extent of its ability to manufacture domestic geode
for home consumption. Being compelled to manufacture
its own clothing for its armies and people, new factories
were erected ; and although, of course, not so perfect as
the Now England establishments, they were still a great
improvement upon those that existed before the war. The
immense water power existing in nearly all parts of the
Southern country has now been pretty well developed/
and it is open to all enterprising capitalists who are seek-
ing opportunities for investments in manufactures. The
fact of having the raw material near at hand is one advan-
tage the South has over the factories of New England and
Europe. It is only the procuring of operatives that makes
the question of a rapid and extensive increase in the Ma-
nufacturing business of the South at all one of conjecture.
But this difficulty will no doubt arrange itself as soon a°
the strength of foreign and Northern immigration is felt,
and the negro population are made to comprehend that
they must labour or perish. But while the manufacturing
interests of the South present such auspicious indications
for the future, it is only necessary for the intelligent ob-
server to look at the present condition of the New England
manufactories to satisfy him also of their wonderful and
increasing prosperity. The manufacturing power and
resources of the South and the immense and well-deve-
loped power of the North combined, and the bulk of the
cotton fabrics for the use of the world can be manufactured
here. Already able to feed the world, the United States,
now in a happy state of peace, is amply competent to
clothe it. We see the great New England manufacturing
establishments beginning to deplete some of the manufac-
turing districts of Old England by a demand for operatives•
Vessels are continually coming over filled with passengers
of this class. Our New England manufacturers, now that
the war is over, are not able to fulfil the orders they receivl
from merchants all over the country. The mills are run-
ning night and day, but. being shorthanded, cannot do full
work. One establishment, capable of running 100,000
spindles, is only able, for the want of help, to run OYOr
40,000. Operatives labour from 15 to 20 hours out of the
24, in most of the New England factories, receiving extra
pay for extra hours' work. The dividends of these new
England corporations are enormous, equal to any of the 011
companies in their palmy days. 13 to 18 and 20 per cent•
on capitals of from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 are nothing
uncommon, leaving a surplus fund of a million or two for
running capital. Tho oil wells nowadays are the cotton
mills, and more than one extensive operator in the former
are now investing largely in Eastern manufactories. Tll°
cotton manufacturers calculate upon a continuance of the
present high tariff on account of the national war debt,
and upon prices keeping up ; and, the supply of cotton
promising to bo all they want, they do not hesitate to en-
large their mills and extend their operations to the utmost
extent the supply of physical force will warrant.—NO
