CoTToN MANUFACToRIEs.-O our first
page will be found n sensible article on
the subject of establishing cotton fac
tories in the South, of bringing the cotto n
mill to the cotton field. We respectfully
call the attention of planters to the plan
here proposed. Although new one, it
leaves the impress Of plausibility and cor
rectness, and could, no doubt, be carried
into successful operation in this vicinity,
should our planters but will it. We hope
the day is not far distant when the whole
cotton growing portion Of the South, will
be dotted with such monuments of indus
try and wealth. 1t is the only true
source of independence, and its adoption
will tend more than anything else to
bring Northern fanaticism to sense OF
Justice, develope our resources, and place
the South in truly independent position.
1t will also be source Of profit TO the
planter, and insure him fair compensa-
ton for the product of his labor. Read
it carefully.

Kossuth was confined for four yearsn
the prisons, of which Austria holds the
keys. It was in the dungeons of prre-
cuton that his character, naturally mel
apcholly. took a tnge of steel. Nev,r-
theess, something of his early disposition
for sadness remained, like the last fold of
veil beneath his large oriental eyes. and
it is easy to see, by the style of his prtc-
lamatious. that passing clouds occasion
ally leave their shadow on mis- brilliant
genius When he was in prison, a young
