SALUDA Factory, s. Give had the graft
tication recently of visiting this factory situated
on the Saluda river, neal Columbus, and OF in
speeding its operations 1t is on the slave-labor,
or anti freesOi system; no operators in the es-
Enlistment but blacks. The superintendent
and overseers are white, and Of great experience
in manufacturing. They are principally from
the manufacturing districts of the North and
although strongly prejudiced on their first arrl-
val at the establishment against African labor,
from observations and more experience they all
testify to their equal efficiency AMI great supe-
riority in many respects. So as not to act pre-
cpitately, the experiment of African labor was
first tested in the spinning department.; since
which, the older spinners have been transferred to
the weaving room. They commenced in that de-
partment on the lst of July, and are now turn
ing out as many yards to the loom as was per-
formed under the older system. A weaver from
Lowell has charge of this department, and she
reports that, while there is full as much work
done by the blacks, they are much more atten-
tive to the condition Of their looms. They all
appear pleased with the manipulations on which
they are employed and are thus affording to the
South the best evidence that, when the channels
of agriculture are choked, the manufacturing Of
our own productions will open new channels of
profitable employment for our slaves. The re-
sources Of the South are great, and it should be
gratifying to all who view these facts with the
eye Of a statesman and philanthropist, that the
sources Of profitable employment and support
to our rapidly increasing African labor are Him
liable, and must remove all motives for emigra.
ton to other countries. BY an enlightened sys-
TEN of internal improvements, making all parts
of our State accessible, and by iudicious dis
tributon of our labor, South Carolina may more
than double her productive slave labor, and not
suffer from too dense II population Debo~'s

Mr.. CALHoUN.-The Mobile Tribune, in no.
ticng new work on Mr.. Calhoun, gives the
following "reminiscences:
ave saw Mr.. Calhoun at the Memphis Con-
venton. When he returned home from it he
was received every where on the. Mississippi
river with the warmest demonstration of affec-
tionate admiration At Natchez the boat (the
Maria) stopped near midnight, and the illustri-
Gus passenger was conducted to one of the
halls of the city, where there was ball. Beau
tiful women and brave men were in the midst OF
the dance, when the approach of Mr. Calhoun
was announced. Instantly the dance stopped.
He was led into the room and surrounded by a
great multitude Mr. Davis, now senator, re-
ccivcd him in an eulogistic speech-too eulogis-
tic for good taste. When he closed. Mr.. Cal
houn rose to reply with a timidity that was
painful-a sensasion produced doubtless by the
extravagant fiattery of Mr.. Davis He was al
most incapable of speaking. He observed in
abrupt language, that he was not accustomed to
address "miscellaneous," audiences-and seeing
that the word was i'll chosen, substituted shelter
ogeneous" which was not much better.-tinally
blushing like girl, he declared that he was un-
accustomed to speak unless to a fixed topic, and
so sank down to his seat in confusion. There
was hardly man present that could not have
acquitted himself better The audience how
ever, saw the cause of his embarrassment, and
the hall rang with cheers, as though the spec
tators were seeking to encourage the conf
dence of school boy delivering his maiden
speech.
We were once struck at hearing Mr. Calhoun,
in an animated conversation, declare that the
conclusions of impulse are more reliable than
those of mere INTELLECT declaration, however
qualified by the assertion that the impulse must
be under the guidance of intellect. In this, it
struck us at the time, he announced one of the
principal causes of his own greatness
source of his almost prophetic investigation of
the result of public events and measures"

Punch on the Papal Bulls.

The late movements Of the Pope with respect
to Great Britain have created quite theological
storm throughout England. OF course Punch
puts in his oar:
Under the head of "Foreigners making free
with England" he publishes the following -
Pho Mono having divided this country into
Catholic bishoprics, it becomes absolutely neces-
sary that, if Britannia is really to continue to
rule the waves, she must rule the sees also
We shall have to say Mono very peremptoriy
to Pho, with reference to the arrangement he has
made for planting the crosier, or crook---which
he will be allowed to do with hook-in the
soil of England. If the sort of thing contem-
plated by the Pope of Rome is to be tolerated
here, we must expect other alien potentates to
amuse themselves by cutting up the United
Kingdom into little bits after their own hearts,
and sending the dgnitaries of all sorts OF creeds
to supersede the ministers of our own religion.
Unless quietus is rapidly put to the arrogant
pretensions of Rome, and unless we rap the
pope's knuckles, as the only alternative left to
prevent our being obliged to kiss his toe, we
may expect few such paragraphs as the follow
ing to figure very speedily in our foreign intelli
gence:
The Hndoo government has sent over Hoki
Poki to commence his functions as Brahmin OF
Battersea Messrs. Laurie, of Oxford street,
have received directions to build without delay
car, with Collinge's patent aXes, for the ac-
commodation of Juggernaut.
The Miriam of Moolrah has sent over Bow
Wow to commence his sittings at Marylebone
as Mufti of Middlesex, and Rusti Khan goes to
Westminster Hall, to take his place in the Court
of Chancery as Cad of Chelsea. We had for
gotten to state that the Bow-string is to be in
troduced at Bow street, and Kooly Fooley will
preside Mt the burning of a widow, on pile of
weeds collected from all the widows in the me-
tropolis. " .5, g#
The emperor of China has written to the Off
Ger in charge of the Junk at the Temple Stairs,
desiring him to take possession of the temple,
and devote it too Budd; but we are happy to
say that the scheme has been frustrated by the
frmness of the Jack-in-the water, who declared
emphaticalIy that Budd should go and be bowed
before he-the Jack-would allow any trespasses
on the ground committed to his charge There
have been further directions forwarded to the
junk desiring that Poo Loo should cement the
power of China in this country by assuming the
title and powers of Mandarin of Mile End, with
the privilege of issuing chops to any extent, and
Slater, the eminent butcher, is to be called upon
to provide, gratis, the whole of the materials.
Such are few of the arrangements that may
be looked for as the suite Of the recent measures
taken by the Pope of Rome for establishing his
authority in England-provided always that the
measures in question are found to be eitectual
for the purposes desired.

"Webster's speech is also skilful and
brilliant argument Of a powerful advocate
1t gives cheering indications that the mon.
led men and manufacturers of New Eng
land are aroused to the danger that threat
ems the Union and their i1tereSts--and,
with singular tact and great moral courage,
he has stepped forward and put forth 10
the world an argument which, while re-
sponsive to the friends of the Constitution,
is eminently calculated TO carry along the
Judgment of his peculiar constituents and
conciliate them TO his side"
WE cut the foregoing from late Ed
torial in the Richmond Enquirer. We
do it to express our entire dissent from the
statement as a matter Of fact, and our dis
appreciation of its spirit, spirit as remote
from the magnanimous and chivalrlc as II
is unjust to Mr.. Webster, whom the artl'
Gle would appear to eulogize. 10 repre-
sent Mr.. Webster in his late great eilor

in no small degree to traduce and degrade
