Manufactures at tie South.-The n. York
Star says-Capitalists are gradually withdraw
ing part of their investments from agrlcul-
ture, and commencing manufactures at the
South. The stocks for building cotton and
wooden mills, are soon filled, and female op-
eratives from Lowell, of experience, are invi
ted, by high wages, to instruct Southern girls
in the art and mystery of fancy spinning; and
they are also laying the foundation for educa-
ting the poor girls at the South, who never,
until now, had the prospect of realizing any
thing from practical industry. The expert
ment is great and profitable one, and will
go on, from article TO article, until the South
will supply the market with cotton goods,
ironware, and every article of domestic co l.
sumption. Averse as the South is TO white
labor, yet finding ii difcu t to unite white and
black labor in mills, the slaves, released from
the fields, will be placed in the FORCES and
steam planeing mills, and in various outdoor
labor. The North has fairly reused up the
| South to a consideration of her resources. and
the surest means for its development; but the
reaction, while it will establish industrial
pursuits in the South, will deprive the North
and East of valuable paying customer
The South, however, will never be able eff
fectually to throw off all dependence on Yam
kee industry If they refuse to buy anything
down East, the Yankees will go South ant
do tn, ir manufacturing for them. If they vii
sail their own vessels, the Yankees will nav
gate them, and, if necessary, build them
they do not care whether they are paid in cot

THE SONGS OF YoRE.

Alas the good old song of yore
Have gone quite out of date
Surpassed by " Old Virginia's Shore"
And the s. North Car'lina State"
No more are heard the pleasing notes
Of" Coming through the Rye"
But turn you where you may, you'll hear
/" Susannah, don't you cry"
To sing the song of Home Sweet Home. "
girl could not be led;
But ask her for some " favorite tune"
She'll strike up" Uncle Ned :"
Then finish off with Buffalo Gals"
Or else with " Dearest May )"
Forgetting that she ever knew
Some more heart-breathing lay.
Oh, give to me the songs of yore,
That come warm from the heart;
That make each pulse throb with delight,
And bid the passions start
Sing me the song of" Hours there were,"
I'll crave not what belongs
To the list of ragger-pshaw II mean
Of fashionable songs.

To General ALEx'R MACRAE:
Ma Dear Sir: Oh for a great reputation that
might carry conviction to the mind Of every
one of my readers! But the advocate of the
importance, utility and proftableness of the
culture of the grape has to contend, with i'll
founded prejudces among the higher classes
of our educated young men, that is difficult to
break down, and which is that any calling
that requires the least manual operations on
their part is unbecoming gentleman. wish

1t is unfortunately too common for those
who have been bred to scholastic professions
or even mere academic honors, to consider ev-
cry manual art as too degrading, and there
fore such an individual is naturally dispose
to disregard every other mereiyuseful qualifi-
cation.
To lessen this foolish and ruinous disdain
with which many of our young men, and es-
peciaIly our scholars, are inclined to look up
on the common business of the world, and the
evident un1Uiittngness with which they ever
condeScend to learn whatever is not found in
some system of philosophy or course of belle
letters study, it would be well for them to
consider that the Watts and the FuItons,
Franklins and the Monthyon. the Whitney
and the Chaptal, have been the great benefac-
tors of mankind. solely because they were
useful men; and therefore, no one should
think unbecomIng and unnecessary to learn
those arts by which the social ties are strength.

4 Nouelty.-We saw yesterday, lying in
the harbor at the foot of Thames street, boat
so curiously and novelty constructed, as to
excite the attention of all who see it. 1t is
formed of an ordinary sail boat, of about 30
feet in length, split in two lenethwise. Each
half is boxed up and made air tight, and the
two are strongly connected with each other
by timber knees, with an open space of about
four feet between them. The two halves OF
the boat thus connected present something
of the appearance of sleigh; on the top Of
the boats, or runners, as they may be termed.
are placed boxes with seats for the accom-
mediation of passengers, whilst from the wood
work which connects them the sails are sus-
pended. The boat has double steering ap-
paralus. made by a connecting rod, to work
simultaneously. lthas already been tried and
found TO sail admirably. The objects gained
by its construction are great buoyancy, light
ness of draught and speed. with an ability tc
carry heavy press of sail without the posi-
b.lltY of being upset.-BaItimore american.
