Manufacture OF Hemp in Kentucky.

Besides the hemp manufactures alluded 10 IN
my last, Louisville gives promise to excel in
other branches. We have now in this city and
vicinity two large and increasing establishments
for the manufacture of the heavy cotton mad Os-
naburgs and negro jeans and linseys, immense
quantities of which arc consumed in the South
ern States. The quality Of the Osnaburgs IS
much superior to these made at Lowell, and can
be sold as low, which gives them the decided
preference IN the Southern markets. AL that
arc produced here are sold on the instant, at &C.
muncrating prices, which demonstrates the prac-
tcabiliiy of all these goods being manufactured
in the West And the time is not Far distant
when the whole South Will be supplied FROM
Western looms. The same capital and skill en-
ploycd here in this manufacture will yield much
larger profits than in the Northern States, from
the much greater chcarncss of the material,
and labor. The manufacture of negro lcans and
linseys is also becoming ii very important one.
| These goods compete chiefly with the negro
| bcrseys," manufactured in New England, but
arc So much more economical 10 the consumer
that they must eventually superscdc them. The
manufacturers of these goods find quick sale Tor
them ut far prices, and as wool is becoming a
iavorlte article Of production with our farmers, n
very large increase Ill the manufacture is con.
fdently anticipated. In addition 10 these VIC
have two large establishments for the man'iiac-
turc OF "Co,ton Yarn" an article of almost un-
limited consumption III the Western country,
WINCH are doing very thriving business. But
instead Of two we should have ten, as the pro
duct of the Whole could he readily sold in this
! a., 4 10.
arc manufactured al Pittsburgh, and some of cur
interior towns but wc trust the time IS not far
distant when our own factories will supply TIC
market. There will soon be erected an additional
factory of SOC spindles for the manufacture Of
heavy brown shcetings; and from the expert
nents which have been made no doubt is enter
tanned it Will pay handsomely The transporta-
ton of these goods from Lowell here is Of itself
fair profit upon their manufacture: but when we
add TO this the lower cost OF the material and
labor and the advantage Of having the consu-
ners at our doors, it is evident manufacturers
have large margin over those of New Eng land
Louisville ought to be and must be the scat OF
large Cotton Manufacture.
The cotton yarns, OsnaburGs, and brown
sheetlngs sold here would employ IN Their manu-
lacture $4,000 spndes and half million Of
capital. Cotton is sold here az low ard frequently
lower than III Ncw.Orleans, being brought here
in considerable quantity from the western district
OF Tennessee and the northern part Of Alabama
and mississippi; labor is low, fuel low, the ne
cessaros Of lie extremely low, and VIC have a
home demand for the goods. Then what is to
prevent our manufacturing them 7 We oa!y need
u little more 81 Yankee ingenuity and enterprise
10 insure H. And may we not hope ere long 10
have some of the fright Sort from New-Eng
land Our citizens would welcome them with
open arms. They are all alive to the Importance
| OF manufactures ard disposed TO render every aid
10 manufacturing enterprise. And here let me
say that very erroneous opinions prevail Ill the
northern States in relation TO a supposed difficult
! iy IN procuring white labor in Slave States. At
all events no such difficulty exists here. Our
factories are filled with white operatives, male
and female, and cannot employ near all who
apply The market for labor they opened has
induced the immigration of d large number Of
f4milics TO this CITY, and 10 this there will be
no limit but the failure Of employment. And
more frugal, industrious, temperate and mana
gcable operatives are not TO be found. Riots and
lnobs are unknown here. Our laws are Just and
stable; the rights Of property well guarded and
tested rights proectcd our currency sound and
well regulated, and our banking capital ample.
Then let any New England manufacturer who
is languishng under excessive competition, or
alarmed by Mortonism in Massachusetts, Dorrism
in Rhode Island, or the riots in Philadelphia !;
make his home in Kentucky, and we will guaran-
tee to him eternal exemption from these RADICAL
isms and violenccs remuneration for his labor,
skill and capital, aud protection OF the ampest
kind Tor all.
In politics Kentucky is known to be sound, but
the indications are that in the approaching con.
tests, all that remains of Loco-focolsm will be
finally cradicated from her soil. y JUNIOR.
u There have been several very short passa-
gcs made by ships to this port lately. Among
others, the ship st. Mary, Capt. FOSTER, made
her run from port to port in thirteen days. We
are assured by Capt. T. that from losing sight
of tho highlands Of Neversink, to making the
Balize, was only days. a quick run for 1900
miles. n. =. Bulletin.
