"Ahout a fortnight since we learned that
Messrs. Robertson, Osgood g. Wells, from
Boston, If we have not been misinformed,
We're about to establish a Cotton Factory in
this city. On Saturday last we took a ride
down to the cotton press to see what progress
was making in this laudable enterprise. The
building of Messrs. Robertson, Osoood g..
Wells is about half completed, and they will
be ID the '.full tide of successful experiment,
ID about fouror six weeks. They have a large
quantity of machinery of the most beautiful
kind, and of superior quality, and they
brought ont with them several operatives,
who have been long engaged in factories in
New Jersey, in Lowell, and elsewhere. All
their arrangements seem to be made in sys-
tematic style, and we hope that they NAV
succeed ia their establishment, so entirely
original in Mississippi. Though these gem
tIemen are pioneers in this work, we trust
that they may prove to our citizens that cloths
made at home are as good as those imported,
and can be made a product Of home industry
without patronizing foreign labor to the ex-
clusion Of our own countrymen."

PoLITIcAL GossIR.-The mails are fruitful
of political gossip; that of yesterday is partic-
ular so. Some of the information from
Washington may be deemed absolutely i'm.
portant. In the first place, from the absolute
silence of the Globe on the subject of the
division in the democratic ranks, from iis
falling in any way to continue the controver-
sy with Mr. Richie, We infer that the Globe
yields at last its preference for Mr.. Van Bu-
rem, as the only means of preventing a schism
in the party.
Next, Mr.. CT Ingersoll, who has hither-
to been a strong advocate Of Mr.. Van Buren,
and his eloquent defender, has addressed 4
letter to two delegates from Maryland to the
Baltimore Convention who are urging him
to support Cass and Johnson. He agows 10
them bis friendship for the ex. President, and
expresses his regret that he should have ta-
ken the position he has done on Annexation.
He says he will cordially acquiesce in the &C.
ton of the Convention.
MIR. Richie adheres to his former position.
He publishes Gen. Dromgoole's letter. but
confesses himself unmoved by il. The Demo-
cratic Central Committee Of the State. of

the Commissioner Of the General Land office,
dated the 18th March and 30th April 1914,
made in your paper of the 18th instant, by sta

.The Commissioner orders was received"
at this office from the post-ofice of Baton

Your remarks are noticed, for the reasons
that they were intended for my especial ben

Mr.. Gass, insinuates that q letter received
from that gentleman from Washington on
the subject of Annexation was found TO be teo
like Mr.. Van Buren's, and was accordingly
sent back to be remodeIled before giving it
publicity. The Madisonian, offended by an
article Of Mr.. Blair, has cancelled the proffer
Of its friendship which it made the day pre-
yious to the Globe and Mr. Van Buren,.
But, after all, perhaps the en- dit in our own
Washington letter is the most important,
namely, that Mr.. Calhoun and Mr.. Wlckllif
were Immediately to resign. This may, IN
it's surn, lead to new combinations, and Mr..
Calhoun's friends in Virginia, through the
Enquirer, write enthusiastically for the Caro-
linian. mr.. Woodbury. is likewise named
by our correspondent as probably candidate
before the Convention for It's highest nouina-

IowA.-The population of the territory Of
Iowa has increased most rapidly during the
past year. The emigration has been pfinci-
paily from Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and they have settled very thickly on
the Iowa and Desmoines river. 1t is estima-
ted thattwo thousand families have settled on
the new purchase from the Indians on the
Desmoines river, land which has not yet come
into market. It is said to be a fine country,
the p~rairies and timbers being well intersper-
sed, and very fertile; also, a very fine WOOL
growing country, and vast numbers of sheep
have been driven in during the past year, prin-
cipally from Iowa and Indiana, sometimes as
many as tive thousand in single drove. Car
ding machines and fulling mills have been
erected in several places in the territory, and
preparations are making for the erection of a
woollen factory on the Desmoines. Many ex-
cellent Touring mills have been erected, and
many more are in course of erection, and the
water power Of the country is very fine. The
population of the territory is now supposed
to be very considerably greater than the limit
necessary to form a State.-Neao Era.
