THE MANUFACTURE or CoTToN Goops IN THE
UNITED SrATEs.--At the present moment, when
the question OF home manufacture is so extensive
ly engaging the attention of the South any statis-
tics that cast light upon the subject, will, we
confident, be perused with interest, as we do not
entertain the slightest doubt, but that under exis-
ing circumstances, our capitalists will no longer,
by their apathetic Indifference, suffer the tremend-
Gus commercial lever lying at their very doors, to
be welded with the great profit and advantage it
has hitherto been by our northern adversaries.
The last number Of the United States Journal
says The Cotton year is nearly closed, and the
receipt of the latest dates were within a tr6e Of
two million bales There will probably be added
so 900, certainly not more, to complete the aggre
gate for the wear The shipment of cotton TO
Great Britain for the commercial year ending Sep
tember LIST, 1850, will but slightly exceed ,000,-
900 bales. This includes her export to the CONT
nent. Her own consumption for the year is about
$50 900 bales of American cotton. Last year she
received i 900 900 and consumed 100000. This
is indicative ofthe rapid increase Of our home con-
sumption, and the day will come when cannot
spare her one bale. Though the quantity in ex-
port has decreased, the value, owing TO enhanced
prices, has increased by SIS, 1000, 000."

rival at that port Of Col. Magrudcr's Battery of

The long looked for Artillery Battalion, known
throughout the country by all those familiar
with the exploits achieved by our gallant army
during the Mexican war, rs "Magruder's Bat
terry" arrived on Saturday IN the ship Monterey,
all M good health. We understand that this
corps is composed Of picked men, most of whom
have 'smelt powder in the field, and become at
tachcd to the service and their particular arm
And well may they after the brilliant part they
took during the war; They are to be sta
toned we understand, at the Mission near san

From the Memphis (Tena. Appeal.

Tho Nashville Banner finds justification of
Mr.. Filmore's conduct relative to the Texas
boundary question. in the position assumed by
Gen. Jackson and his Proclamation. that State
has no power to annual law of the United
States, &c. We regard this as rather lame and
impotent defence, aud begging of the question.
Admitting the two cases To be similar Gen
Jackson made no movement until authorized by
an act of Congress, to Fosce Bill, the Constitu-
tionality of which was itself doubted by many
ofthe wisest statesman ofthe day. Mr. Fillmore
however, neither waits nor asks for an act of
Congress, but merely informs that body what he
has done and intends TO do,
But SO far from the eases being similar, they
could not we'll be more widely different. Should
Carolina proposed TO nullify law; Texas pro-
poses to do no such thing. For South Carolina
there was a law TO snnul; for Texas there is
none. For Gen. Jackson there was a law to
execute; for Mr.. Fillmore none. So far from
executing the laws, he has gone in violation Of
ali law, usage and custom. He has assumed to
do what the Government OF the United States
alone corAA do. He has assumed to carry out
and render operative the stipulations of treaty,
the executions of which belongs to all the depart
lnents of the Government and not to any one
particular branch oft. 6ut for aught we know
in the eyes Of whiegery, Mr. Fillmore may bs

Gen. Jackson to be. VIII the Banner explain

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA;

THE public will be gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS TO go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama IN advance, Tor
their ships then going round. This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
ence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the Isth-
mus, which was increased by the Impotence OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions now all removed.
Three of the four ships of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the

NORTH WESTERN BASX--The Patriot has
the following in relation TO the rumor that this
Bank was not in a sound condition.:
We yesterday published a tclegraphic de-
spatcb from Pittsburg, stating there was "rumor
that the North Western Bank of Virginia was
in an unsound condition." Weare certain that
this must be mistake, for we have been called
upon by MIR. Sprigg, the cashier of the Mer-
chants Bank, who says there are now upwards
of $4,000 Of collections in their bonds belong
ing to the North Western Bank and the credit
of the Bank with them is unquesuonea' we
are gratfied in being able to make TINS correc-
ton, especially on good authority as tna' Oh 'he
Merchants Bank.

In less than twenty years, the increase in ex-
ports has been more than 400 per cent; while it
must also be borne in mind, that with this great
increase in expectation, there was, all this time,
a far greater increase in domestic consumption,
corresponding with the increase in our population.
In fact, nne-,enths the goods manufactured are
consumed by our own people, and the manufac-
turer depends entirely upon the demand at home. I"

GREAT REJ9IcNG.--iiy whom And for what I?
BY Southern Editors and Southern men! For
nothing; unless they are for the North against
the South. We do contend if we understand
the matter at ALL that the South has gained moth
ing by the passage of those Bills, that there has
been so much glorification over bv Southern
Editors and Southern men. In fact we think
the recent action OF Congress is calculated only
to stimulate Northern Abolitionists to 90 still
farther in their mad and wicked career. They
are induced to believe, that rather than dissolve
the Union, we of the South will submit to any
and everything. t.t
Talk about Union.n What care we for
Union when it is only to be preserved by sacri-
flee OF property, honor, peace and happiness. -
The Constitution violated and trampled upon
and further aggressions threatened and contcm-
plated and Southern Editors and Southern men
rejoicing. @
We would advise all such to 90 North and
live with their Northern allies--for the time NAV
come, and that time may not be very far distant
when they will be looked upon AS TRAITorsnnd
TORIES, TO the South, telling the Southern proplc
TINT this is time to rejoice when their Joy ought
to be turned into sadness and deap dread for the
future. We are not disposed to "reoce with
those who do rejoice" but to mourn with those
who do mourn @
We admire the bold Southerl ground that has,
been taken by some Of our Southern Represent
taiives. Editors and individuals such we are
willing to stand by fight by and fall by, in defence
of Southern rights And we mean what we say
We never intend TO make one concession to those
who wish to rob us of our property--or rejoice
when acts are passed, calculated TO stimulate
ard encourage them to go still! farther in their
meanness.
Weare for the Constitutions But that Con
stitution must not be violated "a broken Con
stitution which will not protect MS in the sight
OF property, and in the enjoyment Of peace and
happiness, we do not want
We are for the Union. But TINT Union must
not rob us of our just rights When it does il

The SuRRENDER.-We were present in the
House OF Representatives when the series of adj
Justment measures received the final action Of
that body. 1t was our misfortune to witness
Southern Representatives forgetting their lofty
aud proud attitude, and become frightened into
submission to wrong and oppression. After
wearing for a time the show Of Drawer; in the
trying hour they proved to be both towards and
traitors, and made IN entire surrender or The
whole matter in contest, without even saving
their honor Instead of resisting with courage
and dignity the degrading terms which were Of
fered they bent their neck to the woke, and with
parricdal hands, inflicted Il deadly blow at tue
bosom OF the South, and unblushingly assisted
her enemies in the achievement OF Victories over
her peace, safety, and honor. Men, wllo bat i
shot time before, were loudcst IN teii eynres-
sion OF determination, to indicate The right ~
the South, We're among the first to hetrIy het

institutions. Such treaeherous action is calc,,-
lated to arouse Il feeling Of Indignation in the
hearts of an outraged people which will cause
them to hhrl such faithless representatives from
their places of trust. The representatives from
TINS State, who have proved recreant to their high
duties, have neither excuse nor palliation for
their course. The voice Of Virginia had been
soemnly spoken anu reiterated in language moi
to be misunderstood With an unanimity, une-
qualed in her past councils, she had laid down
the programme for the guidance of her servants
and declared that the principles ayowed in her
resolutions should be maintained at all hazards
and to the last extremity" Nobly and valiantly
have her two senators and seven of her represen-
tatives obeyed her voice and defended her rights
With them the path of duty was plainly presen-
ted, and they pursued it with manly determine
ton. The services, on this occasion, of these
faithful representatives are universally acknow
lodged and the frmness ability with which they
stood their ground, can never be forgotten by the
people Of Virginia.

A LOVER IN BooT--Whcn boots of the pre-
sent form first came in fashion, they were re-
gnrded rs a great luxury and ornament, being
worn outside the pants, and none but the
wealthy and foppish could afford to wear them
OF course, whoever wore a pair of boots, at
tracted unusual attention. In certain town,
for while, old Mr. Dalaby was the only person
that enjoyed this luxury. He had a son, who
+" took shine" to the daughter of a Colonel
who lived ia another part of the town. So,
one evening, the son rugged himself out in his
/" Sundays best" and putting on his fathers
boots, which he had purloined for the occasion,
started post haste for the Colonies, smiling
within himself TO think what favorable i'm
preston his boots would make upon the alice
tons Of the daughter. After he had arrived,
and was comfortably seated at the fire, in came
the Colonel, who, after surveying the youngster
from head to feet, said:
This is Mr.. Dalaby's son, isn't it,"
"Yes, sir" was the prompt reply Of the lad
Well" said the Colonel, q thought / knc,c
