a new Move.

Charleston, South Carolina, will soon have IA
great cotton factory in operation. The corner
stone was laid with unusual ceremony. There
was an address made OH the occasion from which.
We make the following extract:
LET saw that cannot compete with
others in this work. We cannot enter into such
a contest with the North and with England. All,
my friends, say not From this place. where
| now stand, my eyes wanders away over those
glittering waters to yonder fort, where Carolina
valor met and conquered English proves, in
bloody conflict. l glance around and mark tn is
very spot as hallowed by heroic associations.
From Wonder mound, now crumbling beneath
Time fingers, once streaned forth fiery defiance
TO Engiand's power. This very field resounded
to martial footsteps, hurrying to enter the mi gh
~ contest; and, now, from this sacred spot ia
proud humility, proclaim readiness to
enter upon the great strife for manufacturing
pre- emnence-for commercial glory
There is something in the closing sentence of
this extract to cheer the friends of home indus
try. The ''strife Of manufacturing Pre-emi-
nence' is worthy the American character and
the age we live. 1t is strife that brings no
tears from widows and orphans 1t sheds glory
abroad far SURPRISING that of the battle field I,
while at home ii begets confidence IN our great
and strength IN proportion to the efforts We
put forth for comnnrciai supremacy We are
glad to see the ranks of free traders broken in
by the southern wing of the great wing army.

CAUTION TO THE YouNG-The following
anecdote appeared in the Echo National:
A hundred dollar bill of the Louis State
Bank was pa ID into the Citizens Bank on Satur-
day last, with the following lines written on the
back:
This is the las. hundred of $40 GOO left me
by my father and whittier is the money gone

houses, in bar-roonIs and in brothels. If this
bill fall into the hands of any young man. let it
teach him to flee from bad company, for it is that
which has reduced me TO my deplorable situa-
ton. am lost, lost, forever lost" The wages
of sin is death, says an inspired writer. In this
poor young mans case, what youth IN the
blindness OF its avidity calls pie azure, has led
something worse--to despair--if may Judge
elf-accusiug meditations.

Gen. SCOTS predictions.

1t " Ill be remembered THAT, at tire CONNIE nee
rnent Of this war, Gen. Scott wrote a letter III
which he expressed his opinions to the length
of time It would require to make arrangemen ts
for the invasion of Mexico. The opinion was
secuted and hooted at by all the locofoco editors
in the nation, who professed to think Gen. Scot,
most contemptibly inefficient, and spoke as if all
the preparations for the invasion could be made
one quarter Of the time named by him. New
ertheles II turned out that the whole time sug-
gested by him was consumed by the Adrninistra-
ton before the invasion wes commenced. and it
also turned out that ali his other predictions in
his letter TO the Secretary Of War were verified
to the letter. Never Were the predictions even
Of prophet of the olden time verified more COM
pleiely- And now even the editor of the Wash
ing,on Union, who was among the frst TO sheer
at Gen. Scots propEesies, is calling public at
tenton to their wonderful accuracy. Read this
paragraph from late number Of the Union.
81 will dictate peace in the oity ofMexieo on
the LIST of September said Gen. Scott as he left
New Orleans for Vera Cruz. And the 9th
day of August the city of Mexico was at his
mercy, and the negotiations for peace were in
progress al his bidding. The whole programme
Of his prediction has been turned TO history.
