AUGUSTA, June 18.


CorToN.-There has been good de-
mand during The week, anu all description
have advanced fully j to } Of cent per
ID. This advance has been caused prin-
cipally by the high rate of northern ex-
change, as also by the diminished stock at
present on hand, aud the amount damaged
by the late freshat. The principal ehqui-
ry is sill confined 10 the better description
which are daily becoming more scarce,
and we have heard of one or two offers
FOR strictly prime refused al a quarter of a
cent above our highest quotations. Our
stock atthe present tirnei Augusta will
not exceed 5000 bales, and in Hamburg,
from the best Information we can collect,
we estimateit at about 2. 600 bales. The
sales from warehouses reached about 4, 100
bales. We quote, inferior, 6 81; mid.

Melancholy Inieliigence.-On Sunday
evening last, during the thunder storm,
abou, l2 miles above this place, Mr.. John
Price, an aged an respectable farmer, was
struck dead by lightning. He had left The
house buta few minutes previous to his
sudden death. A few moments after the
peal was heard, his eldest daughter opened
the door in order to ascertain what dam
age had been done, when, behold, she dis
covered her farther, lying in flames upon

and the shoes on his feet were literally
torn TO pieces.-Carolina Planter.

SALUpA CorToN FAcToRY.-Wc re-
Gently made visit to the Saluda Factory,
situated in Lexington District, S. c.. 1t
has been in operation but for few years,
and its establishment cost we are informed,
from Sl5O,OOO to $4,000. 1, has given,
and perhaps now gives employment TO $50
persons. The establishment was sold a
few months since at nearly two thirds of
its first cost, bringing about 10000 dol
lars. The number of stockholders which
was formerly large, is now reduced TO TO
persons. This factory is situated on the
Salnda River. at two miles distance from
the Columbia bridge. The Factory build
ing is four stories and a halfin height, and
is constructed of beautiful granite. The
cotton machinery is excellent and the fab
ric of,he goods manufacturers is ofvery good
quality. We would by no means, advo-
cate Tariff, but we hope that this South
crn enterprise, will receive that encour-
agement, which il justly deserves.
The road leading TO the Factory, is ex-
cellent aud we'll constructed. 1t runs by
a neat stone bridge, which spans The Salu-
da. On considerable portion Of it, the
scenery is beautiful and highly -omantick.
On'oue side,the traveller beholds lofty hills
covered to their SUBMITS with stately trees,
and luxuriant underground, resembling
the mountains Of the upper country. A.
moug them, are insterspersed frowning
rocks Of immense size, some Of which al
most jut into the road. On the p,her, he
beholds The broad aud beautiful Saluda
river. vending lis way to the rapid Conga-
rec, with whose walters it will soon COM
minsle. On the summit of hill in sight
of1he Factory. is pretty lihle village,
where are situated the dwelling oflhe hands
employed. The time Of our visit was in
the evening. The sun pouring his decln-
ing rays on the wood crowned hills, The gen.
,ly flowing Saluda, the stately building of
the Factory, and the view of Columbia,
with her lofty spires in the distance, all
presented picture beautiful to behold.

thing requisite to their health and comfort.
There, by The operation of The corn laws,
the whole mass oflaborers which swarm
through the kingdom aud fill the extensive

bee hives, are compelled to labor for the
exclusive benefit of the landowners. and

AUGUSTA, Ga. June 10, 1910.
There is no stronger proof Of the inhe-
rent weakness OF d cause, rhaI when its
supporters cast, down the weapons OF
reason and truth, and attempt to carry
their projects by the base influence of pre-
judice and excitement. 1t Is virtual
confession that they have no great princi-
piles to support; and having no high aud
honorable aims, the whig party has no
faith in its creed, because lIraf creed denies
to man The activity of reason. II has no
distinguished trait but that Of opposiIioli TO
interchangeable Truth. And ii is ever The
most active when truth and Justice arc
most likely to prevail. Having but a par
lial indeniiry with trulh,it prefers opinions
to facts, sophistry 10 reasouing-and strives
Tor supremacy by appealing to human
passions. Read whig papers, and we find
them made up of an abundance of mere
assertion; while their facts are.
Like angels visits few and far between;"
and when they are driven to The use of
facts, they prefer them in disguise. Why,
when the bill for printing an account of
government expenses for The last twelve
years was introduced into Congress, we're
Webster, Clay, and Preston opposed, while
Buchanan, Benton and Calhoun where
in its favor ? was it not the object of,hose
whig members to keep in The archives OF
government those facts which would ex-
pose their hypocrisy in striving to cast
odium upon the administration by state:
mcnss ofils expenditures! Itlooks mar
vellously like it to me.
