GuiHes We male in Tegafi>ru the wages PAID 10
female operative: in this city, the moreawe are
convinced of the Injustice of the bosses" as they
are termed. A short time since we proved that
women engaged in making and covering umbrel-
las and parasols, could not possibly earn enough
10 support and clothe themselves at the prices al
lowed them by their employers, even if they
worked eighteen of the twenty four hours per
day.
We have since learned that the charge of op-
preston in this respect applies equally as strong
to the merchant tailors and clothiers, as to the
umbrella manufacturers, particularly those en-
gagged in the Southern trade. l.appears that they
give their girls only forty-four cents for making
vest in the most fashionable style, for which they
charge their customers from five to seven dollars
and half'-to do which girl must work from
early in the morning till late at highland many
are unable to make one day. The merchant
taisrs' profit on the same articles varies from two
to four dollars according to the quality of the
terial. Assuming that every girl can make vest
each day, they can only twenty lone shillings
week, with which to support and clo,he them
selves-a sum that every person must know is in
adequate for The purpose.
The question arises in what manner can this
system OF oppression be remedied, so long the
girls continue TO work for any prices their en-
ployers may think fit to give them We certain
ly do not know, except it be done by the force of
public opinion. Let the system be exposed fully,
and it cannot fail to meet public condemnation.
We are determined to do it far as it lies in our
power, and we accordingly invite the operative
girls of this city and State to furnish us with full
particulars of their su ferings

THE EXPLOSIVE CoTroN-VALUE OF IT'S DISCO.
VERY TO AMERIcA.-The new discovery that cot
ton prepared by being saturated with some acids,
has as much explosive power as gunpowder, is
one which will be of vast service to this coun-
try. The fact that 1t is far cheaper than gun
powder viii! soon bring it into universal use, and
then what market the entire world offers for the
staple of our Southern States! This is prospect
Of great interest both in national and CONNER
cial point OF view. We can now grow as much
cotton as we please without any fear that it will
become drug in the market, or that it will de-
preciate in value after a certain supply
We saw some experimenting yesterday of a
highly interesting nature produced with cotton
prepared by DR.. Chiffon, the chemist, in Broad
way who is the first, thus far, in this city, to pre-
pare the explosive cotton. The experiments salts
fled us that the discovery is entirely successful,
and that cotton is destined to supersede gunpew-
der. With small quantity pistol ball was sent
through three inch plank, and flattensd against
a brick wall

VERY LATE FROM CHINA.

The fast-sailing clipper ship Montauk, Captain
McMichael arrived at New York on Thursday
evening, from Macao, in the remarkably short pas
sage Of eighty-seyen days. She made the run from
Macao to the Cape Of Good Hope IN forty-twc
days-probably the quickest time on record.
The commercial treaty between the United States
government and the Celestial Empire had beer
ratified on the 18th December, by tho Chinese com.
missioners and Commodore Biddle.
The United States ship Columbus, Commodore
Bddle, was at Macao on the llth January.

Paulding arrived out on the 9th. Ship Rainbow
had not arrived out
The piratica attacks upon foreign vessels in tn,
Chinese waters have again become frequent for tn,
suppression of which il is found necessary employ
large gun-boats. Two or three Of them are to b,
permanently stationed in the Symoon passage. Ir
relation TO these attacks, the Register Of the 9Th
says:
"On Sunday morning, some China men discov
cred a dead body floating in the Symoon, anc
gave information Of the circumstance TO the police
who went out and found it TO be a European, whC
had three fingers of his right hand cut off, and va
rious marks Of violence about the face and neck
He was afterwards recognised a seaman, VIII
was missed from the Agincourt on Christmas eve
and was believed to have fallen overheard. Tn
marks Of violence would seem to justify wors
construction, but as yet believe that nothing hs
tanspired to point suspicion against any parties"
At Shanghai winter had set in with a severity no
before experienced there. Parties were able u
walk on shore on the ice from the vessels at Woo
sung The thermometer on one occasion was as low
as l2C, and skating was common.
