FRoTTlNG RAoEs.-The trotting races over the
Oakland Course (says the Louisville Democrat of
the 26th ultl ended yesterday with the f1urmile
stake, which was witnessed by respectable crowd.
The race was very interesting one, though won
at the end by Neddy, with apparent ease. The
young horse Pilot Jr., proved himself a very game
and fast horse; although he did MT go kindin either
heat, he contested the second place in both, and
would have certainly won it in the last had he
trotted with his usuul steadness. The following
is the result:

GA good deal has been said about the dispatches

4" do not understand the modus operandi by
which certain letter writers arrive at the conclusion
that the Mosquito question will be amicably settled
by an arrangement being made with Great Britain
TO throw open the Nicaragua Canal TO- the commerce
Of the world. If / understand it Alright, the ques-
ton between this country and England is not with
reference TO the Canal but that it arises in cOnse-
quence of England's endeavoring to take possess
sionof a country upon this continent to which she
has no claim, pretext, or shadow Of right. Great
Britain claims to have certain rights guaranteed to
her by the King of Mosquito, the principal one of
which is the right to colOniZe and erect trading
houses The United States neither acknowledges
the King OF Mosquito, nor, as a matter Of course,
any of his acts. England has therefore no arrange
ment to make with rs in the matter of the Nicar-
aqua Canal, and | imagine in any correspondence
winch may take place this principle will be clearly
laid down."

We have been led to these reflections from peru

From the report OF the committee on manutactnr-
ed goods, we make the following extract:
OF the Cotton Yarns exhibited, those from tn
Troup Factory, entitled to the first honor while
those from the Athens, and Cartwright Factories
Of excellent quality, and justly entitled to the
commentator Of the committee.
OF the Cotton Osnaburgs they give the preference
to those from the Troup Factory, to which the first
honor should be awardcd those from the Athens,
Cartrght and Thomaston Factories deserve high
commentator, and decidedly superior to the
Same article manufactured in the Northern States
The Committee notice with pleasure the spec
mems of Brown ShirtinS from the augusta Manulac-
turing Co., Athens Factory, Millcdgevillc Steam
Mill, also specimens OF Ticking and Striped DomeS-
ties from the Athens Factory. The first honor Tor
the best Brown Shifting should be awarded to the
Augusta Maintaining Co, and they also recon-
mend that first honors be awarded to the Athens
Factory for their specimens OF Brown Shrtings and
Ticking.
Specimens Of Osnaburg Sewing Thread, made Of
Cotton, from the Tronp Factory, were also exhibit
ed and of Printing and Envelop Paper, from the
Mill of Charles H. Linton, of Athens, and are said
to compare favorably with the same articles made
in the Northern States.
The report Of the Committee on Mechanic Arts Is
also exceedingly interesting showing conciusively
that there ingenuity and skill IN the South sul-
ccnt, If brought into action, to compete with the
North in this branch of industry. great variety
Of articles for the supply of which the South has al

NJ Poe, is fine machine, and such as would do
credit to any of the machine shops of New-England
The Loom Of w. j. Cushman, of Newton county IS
a good and substantial piece of machinery. These
machines give evidence of ability, not only to
manufacture cotton, but to make the machinery ne
ccssarv for its conversion into cloth. We under
stand that Mr.. Poe in connection with others, is
about to establish Machine Factory in augusta,
where as well as from w. j. Gushing, Of Newton,

The New York Express, by the introduction OF
such articles the following, and carrying out the
principles of Domestic Manufactures IN this acay,
will do more towards abolishing Slavery in the
United States than all the Abolition Societies that
could be organized in the whole country. The
measure could thus be quietly affected in time.
Southern .lIanufdctues.-W had occasion,
few days since, to remark the gratifying progress
some of our Southern brethren, bordering on the
Atlantic, were making in manufactures. Georgia,
in Particular appears to realize the Importance, pre-
sent and prospective, of giving Southern enterprise,
in this respect, all the encouragement 1t Is IN the
power of the people to bestow. The eyes of her
citizens are opened to the necessity of having some
other than a more cotton interest, wherewlth to
maintain the wealth and permanent prosperity OF a
State, or a number of States,-and thus convinced,
it is gratifying to them going practically to
work to develop the valuable manufacturing capa-
cities of their section of the Union. With the aban
donment of the IDEA of cotton, will come pro-
portonate expansion of population, intellect, intel
gcnce and wealth, and its influence will be felt not
only in the South, but throughout the whole Union
1t will open new fields for capital and enterprise,
and where these have full play, there will always
be a tendency to weaken the sectional un<lndness
which have too long been permitted to maintain an
unnatural arrangement between the people of the
North and their brethren at the South A distrihu-
ton of interests disspates preudices, breaks down
the barriers OF conflicting IDEAS invites an identity
of impressions, and does much to help to do away
with cnvious discontcnts which an exclusive loca-
ton is too apt to engender. Besides, manufactures
are not wholly dependant upon the caprices OF Ma
ture; our cotton crops, which premature
frost or long drought, a succession OF heavy
rains, too often reduces to runous loss to the
pocket of the planter. The water-mill goes on
steadily in sunshine and in storm, winter and sum-
alike, and it need not stop even il the bollworm
or the caterpillar endeavor to cultivate an intimate

The Tobacco Crop.-From all can ascertain,
and the late political gatherings in village have
afforded us an opportunity Of convcrsing with gen
lemen from every section Of the country in relation
to the matter-the tobacco crop in st. Mary's this
time will not exceed one-haf the quantity usually
raised. This falling off is attributable in some
measure to the scarcity Of plants produced by the
ravagcs of the fly, and the want Of " seasons at the
time most suitable for those who succeeded in rear
ing plants, to remove them from the beds; but MAIN
" to the fact that the cultivation of the article has
been abandoned by many of our farmers. This is
especially the in the Factory and st. Inigoe's
districts. We know of several gentlemen in the
former, who three four years ago devoted large
portion of their farms to the cultivation of tobacco
that now do not produce single hogshead. Find
ing their lands but lily adapted to the growth Of to-
bacco of fine texture, they have very judiciously
turned their attention to the raising of the more
muncrating crops of wheat and corn.
Owing to the late period at which it was planted,
large portion of the tobacco crop of this county is
vet standing in the fields Should there fall biting
frost III the course of a week ten days, which is
not at all unlikely, considerable damage to the crop
must necessarily be sustained. -LeonarMotcn (tld)

Sixteen Days Later from California.

The NJ Y. Tribune has advices from San Francis
co to August IS, being sixteen days later than the
news brought by the steamer Panama. This in
telligcnce was received through Mazatlan, Mexico
and Vera Cruz and reached Newly orll in the mail
Of the British steamer Severn, by way of Mobile
The news from the mines is OF quite glowing
character the yield of gold steady, and though
there was as a matter of course, much disappoint-
mcnt among individuals, the general result was
highly satisfactory 1t is estimated that the average
product of all the mines together, thus far, since
the beginning of the season, has been S20O0,OOO per
month, and there thought to be no doubt of its
continuance at the same rate of abundance. No
change is quoted in the prices either of gold or mer-
chandise.
The health of the population, both at the mines
and elsewhere is generally good, and neither Chol-
era nor any other serious maady is reported hav-
ing made its appearance.

Lead.-The New York Courier and Enquirer
says:-Foreign Pig Lead is plenty, and some 200
tons have been sold at $3.50, ) mos, and S4334 to
s435, cash The market is dull and the tendency
downwards. The imports of Lead since April have
been between 1000 and 5000 tons, and about as
much more will be here during the year. This will
give in quantity equal to 100000 or 100000 pigs
Missouri Lead. The receipts of Lead at New Or
leans during the year ending LIST Sept, about
$4,000 pigs short Of last year. Several of our man
ufactrrers have made large contracts with the Eng
lish and Spanish miners, and the cost of the Lead
will be between AGA cts. e. ID, which is much
lower than the Missouri Lead.

The exhibition at Washington Hall, says the Amer
lean, may be said to be fully and perfectly ar
ranged and is ready for the inspection OF the public
During the last few days and evenings the number
of vsters has been rapidly increasing, and it is to
be hoped that the degree of patronage extended will
be such not only to the heavy outlay neccs-
sary to the getting up Of tho exhibition, but also
such as to encourage the friends and members of the
Institute in their future cxertions.
