cotton is about 5000 pounds, avering $50 bales Of
cotton per year. As an instance Of the prosperity
of factories in this region one is about being
established on the same stream, ON the opposite
side, which it is calculated will consume 40 bales
Of cotton per week. The factory in this city is
about increasing the number Of looms. At this
time it works only 40, which are chiefly employed
in manufacturing four qualities Of goods. In few
weeks the present number will be increased to 70.
The cloths made at this factory in high repute,

PITCHER PLANT. - A correspondent of the
Charleston Nepn snu..

PITCHER PLANT. "A correspondent of the
Charleston News says:
Among the plants brought home by the explor-
ing Expedition, is a most beautiful specimen of
the celebrated Pitcher Plant, now grown to a con-
siderable height. This plant abounds in the stony
and sterile parts Of the Island of Java from which
were it not for this vegetable wonder, small birds
and quadrupeds would be forced to migrate in quest
of water. At the foot stalk Of each is bag shaped
exactly like pitcher furnished with lid, and
ha zlng kind OF hinge that passes the handle
of the pitcher and connects it with the leaf. The
hinge is strong FIBRE which contracts in showery
weather and when the dew falls Numerous little
goblets filed with fresh water are thus held forth
But no sooner has the cloud passed by, and the
warm sun shone forth, than the heated fibre begins
to expand and closes the goblet firmly as to pre-
vent evaporation, precluding further supply till
called for by the wants Of another day.

turesque effect of the whole. A heavy wreath of
oak leaves, twined with laurel surrounds the face
Of the Block, and light wreath of flowers, en-
blematical Of the three colors of the Order,
rounds the Tablet. The two upper corners will
contain slaves and gavels crossed, and the space
between the allegory and the border, the words in
heavy raised letters eSons of Temperance Of
Pennsylvania" The design tells its own story
and as work Of art deserves high praise. The
work will require three months for its completion

EAST FLORIDA TURPENTINE-We some time
since, says the Jacksonville Republican, comment
ed at length on the promised results of the effort
being made, on lands adjacent TO the st. Johns to
revive the lurpeDtine trade, which was so exten.
slVelY pursued during the possession of Florida BY
the English, as is evidenced by thousands of ex.
hausted trees, having the old box" and " chip -
marks seen IN every direction. The effort to which
we referred begins to ripen, and the results are full
hlllng the most sanguine expectations. We men
toned that several individuals were about to en-
bark In the experiment of obtaining Turpentine
We now name the following individuals, most di
reclly engaged and Others interested in the business

to the present ratio of supply, and as new persons
embark in the trade, and the supply increases, there
Is little doubt that another still will be in a short
time erected. The trade increases the demand for
pine lands near the river large quantities of which
have been already entered for turpentine purposes
we hear frequent inquiry for bounty land warrants,
which are now likely to become drug in the mar.

lands at low prices, and the tested success of Tur

attention 10 the pine "diggngs" of the st, Johns.

MANUFACTURES IN THE SoUrH.-We ask the
attentive consideration Of the reader to the follow
ing extract from able editorial in the last Dry
Goods Reporter
Al the present moment, among the producers of
cloth in those sections-namely, the Northern and
Middle States--wheh have hitherto been regarded
as the chief seats of manufacturing industry there
appears to be. and doubtless is something less Of
that prosperity which, upon an average throughout
the whole country is unusually marked. The va
lue OF raw material has risen disproportonately to
the price Of fabrics, and, although the demand for
the latter is good, the supply is than equal to
II. That is to say, notwithstanding that raw ma
terial is very high and manufacturers complain Of
inadequate prices, they nevertheless buy and work
up larger quantity of raw material than ever be-
fore, in the face Of enhanced importations of rival
productions. This is an anomaly which puzzles
many but if we reflect upon the causes which are
in operation to stimulate competition we arrive at
something like solution. We may reflect that
political causes in Europe have operated to keep
goods cheap IN Lancashire, and by so doing to
promote large exports to this side OF the Atlantic
at moment when three incentives to manufacture
ing rivalry have acted upon the South and West.
These are, first, abundance of capital second, the
influence OF the improvements in steam power and
machinery emancipating factory labor from water
power localities and lastly, political motives
The South has abundance of capital, eyinced in
the fact that the crop thus far delivered say 200O
uuo oales, mas reallzed lO4,UUO,UOO against $780,,
100000 for 100000 bales last year that is to
say, quantity diminished by one fourth lessening
to tine same extent the expenses Of freight, pack
| ing, weighing, ETC., while rates of exchange are
high, drawn against high values have enabled the
South, whole, probably to realize 1000, 900
more money from this crop than from the last
With these means, factories have so multiplied
that not short of $4,000 spndles are now in ope-
ration in the cotton States, requiring 900 bales
OF cotton per annum, and every mail brings adj
vices of some new one going up. This rivalry af
ects the old established factories the more that the
new factories are all armed with the newest i'm.
proved machinery, and will produce at probably 20
per cent. better advantage The competition from
this quarter is every way calculated to diminish the
old margin between the cost of raw material and
that of fabrics. Therefore those old concerns.
which had reached the minimum margin at which
they could work must shut up shop and give place
| to more competent operators.

Mr.. FILLMORE ON THE SLAVERY QUESTION.
During the canvass of 1S4s, Mr.. Fillmore wrote to
Gov. Gayle of Alabama:
While in Congress- took occasion to state in
substance my views the subject of slavery in the
States. Whether the remarks were repeated or
not am unable to say, but the substance was that
regarded slavery an evil, but one with which
the national government had nothing to do. That
by the Constitution Of the United States the whole
power over that question was vested in the
several States where the institutions were tolerated
If they regarded it blessing, they had con-
sttutlonal right to enjoy it, and if they regarded il
as an evil, they had the power, and knew best
where to apply the remedy. | did not conceive
that Congress had any power over it, or in any
way responsible for its continuance in the several
States where it existed.
On the right of petition, he says;
The rule upon which acted was that every cit
izen presenting respectful petition to the body
that by the Constitution, had the power to grant or
to refuse the prayer OF it, entitled to be heard ;
and therefore, the petition ought to be received and
considered. II right and reasonable, the prayer of
it should be granted-but if wrong or unreasonable
it should be denied.
On the subject Of the slave trade between the
States, he says in subsequent letter:
am not aware that this question has ever been
discussed IN Congress, or was ever presented for
the consideration of the Supreme Court Of the Uni
ted States before 1s41. IN that year, the celebra-
ted case from Mississippi was decided, and Mr..
Justice Mclean gave an elaborate opinion on this
Point, in which the Chief Justice concurred. He
came to the conclusion that the constitutional pow
er over this matter vested in the several States
and not in Congress. So far as my knowledge ex-
tends this opinion carried conviction to every un-
prejudiced mind, and the question was considered
settled At any rate, this was my own opinion
then, and have seen cause to change it since.
! 1t should also be understood that Mr.. Fillmore
never belonged to the ultra Anti-Savery school Of
politicians, which has had so much influence in
New York.

Il recollect Of hearing an anecdoie, few

an eccentric man, was President of the Bank

Mr.. G. yenlured 10 ask them what the amoun,

'Oh,is that all, said he.
Yes, was the answer.
'Well,' said tire President, i have go, spe.

without tronbling the bank, aud ordered his
man 10 commence bringing il up. They
were perfectly thunderstruck, and refused TO

enough in his house alone TO pay off that
amount without interfering with the bank, it
was no use to think of upsetting it, and re-
turned TO New York.
