The manufacture af Negro Cloth ia Louis.
iana.-Wo learn that the beautiful machinery,
recently erected in the Louisiana Penitentiary, a,
Baton Rouge, is now in full operation, and made
las, week 1000 yards Of superior negro cloth, a
large p,,tion consisting Of linseys of the mos,
superior quality. This article is pronounced by
the hes, judges. to be the best ever yet seen in the
state, being fully IS per cent better .han tho best
description of the same goods brough, from the
north. Il is thought aha, when the convic.s be-
come more accustomed TO the management of the
machinery, they will he able TO produce above
two thousand yards per week. The machinery
ready put up, wi,h.a steam engine to propel it,
was oil done by contract for l4.ls4 dollars, and
is likely to prove a sery profitable Investment
The raw materials Of wool and cotton are at hand
in abundance and a ready maiket will be found
for the cloth.
1t is matter Of astonfshmcnt TO US, tina, our cit.
liens do not invest a share of capital in this spe-
cies Of manufacturing. the profits Of which would
greatly exceed the best planting in The state.
II is the opinion Of the gentleman who had
built at the north the machiRery 10 the state pris-
on, and had il put in successful operation, that
under judicious management. and by the aid of
negro lahc,. which is bc.tes than white labor,
