PROGRESS OF MANUFACTURES II THE SOUTH
We have accounts by almost every daily mail, Of
the remarkable progress which the establishment
Of manufactures is making in the Southern States.
Among others, We give the following note, which
we received by mail yesterday, and which comes
from gentleman whose name we have:-
GLESs SPRINGS. e. CO. June 10, 1850
Mr.. BEHNETr-You may make an item Of the follow.
In the month Of January last band Of Sve irish.
men landed In the city OF Charleston, with few
packages containing nne linens. Since that time,
these tve by dint OF peddng through the length and
breadth Of the State have disposed their goods
the amount Of six to eight thousand dollars worth
They were all weavers in of the largest manuac
turing districts Of Irelsnd and they have come to
South Carolina to establish cotton mandatory upon
their own hook Their company will consist Of t~enty-
five. twenty Of whom are sill remaining in Ireland
male and female operatives until the Ave shall fix
upon suitable location. That location they intend
to select in Spartsnburg district, 8. @. The above
statement Is reliable Tor your subscribers here will
voucb Tor it,
This is new feature in the movement towards
the establishment of the manufacturing system in
the Southern States Hitherto these establish
ments have been formed by Northern manufac-
turers or their agents But if adventures from
England and Ireland, with the means in their pos
session, should have their attention called to the
superior capacities of the Southern States for the
erection of such establishments, we do not see
what is to prevent that region of the Union from
being the great mart of cotton fabrcs as it is now
of the cotton itself. Indeed, we have some rea-
sons for believing that the cotton manufacturers of
Manchester and Bolton are beginning to deliberate
upon the propriety of getting rid of their old es-
adjustments in England, and of transferring their
means, operatives, and system, to some of the
Southern States in this Union What a change
what revolution!-what an awful mutation such
movement would cause upon the destiny of the
Southern States, and even England itself!
1t is interesting to remark, from the natural oc-
currence of these and other facts of the establish
ment Of manufactures in the Southern States, how
rapidly natural events marching along, while
the twaddlers and spectators in Congress are
spoutng about tariffs and protection of trade Men
of enterprise, both of the old and new world, will
settle the tariff question and the tariff excitement
by positive facts, and will leave nothing for the
spouters in Congress, or their agents and specu-
lators, TO do hereafter.

THE CELEBRATION.

The Committee have nearly perfected their
arrangements for the Grand Celebration to come
off in this City, on the 10th instant The dis
tinguished Speakers expected on the occasion,
should command a very large attendance of the
members of the Subordinate Divisions in the
Counties adjacent, and the important business
to be transacted by the Grand Division, should
ensure the attendance of one or more Repre-
sentatives from every Division in the State-
P. NJ. w. T. Philip S. White, whose fame as a
Temperance speaker, is worldwide, is to ad-
dress the people; Rev. Mr.. Walter, Of Ohio,
who is acknowledged by all who have ever
heard him, tobe one Of the most effective speak
ers in the country, has also consented to deliy-
er an address; we have some expectation of
also having with us the Hon. Sam. Houston, U.
5. Senator from Texa-an ardent member and
advocate Of our Order: P. G. w. P. Gally, Of
Virginia, who is said TO be unequalled in his
oratory; and also, G. W. P. Drinkard, of the
same State polished scholar and finished
speaker; together with P. w. P. George B.
Wetmore, and several others of our own State,
who will perhaps be able to cope with the best
Of them.
With such an array of talent, together with
the prospect Of efecting much good for the Or
der, surely none who can at all conveniently
attend, will neglect 50 favorable an opporsuni-
ty Of participating in, what it is designed to be,
one Of the grandest demonstrations ever made
b. the Order in the Southern States. And We
assure our friends from abroad, that they will
meet with a hearty welcome from the brethren
of Raleigh, by whom every exertiou will be
made 10 make their visit to the City Of Oaks
agreeable in every respect. Come BY ffties
and hundreds-let as many as viii, come, with
their inspiring Banners and significant para
phernalia, that We may strike terror into the
ranks Of the minions of Alcohol here in the
centre, which shall extend its happy influence
to the remotest sections of the State.
And we would give a cordial invitation TO the
citizens of Raleigh and Wake County, and the
public generally, to give us their presence, to
hear the principles, designs and objects Of our
Order set forth by these distinguished champi-
ons of our cause. And to the Ladies especial
", who are ever the advocates of every good
and noble enterprise, we would extend a press
ing solicitation to honor US with their smiles
and presence, on the occasion. Friends and
enemies-wine and grog drinkers. and wine and
grog sellers-are all respectfully invited to hear
the beauties of total abstinence discussed, and
the evils Of the traffic and use of alcoholic slim
ulants depicted by mastery hands.

due time.

aLovE, PuRITY AND FIpEL1TY..

A Prouder motto than this was never adop-
ted BY any combination of mon, one to which
the heart which beats only for the best interests
Of mankind, could more gladly yield allegiance
and honor. No breeze on earth ever famed
a nobler banner-no sun ever flashed upon a
more comprehensive emblem. It is not borne
by armed men-it floats not above the smoke
and carnage Of hostile confict-it is not rent
by the iron tempest of death-blood is not up
on its silken folds-it has never been consecra-
ted upon the battle field amid the shouts and
shrieks of c~ontending foemen. Thank God
there is noneo fthis. We hail it as an emblem
Of peace and Of better days, and our eve.
moisten with the warm tear Of joy and hope
as we see the gallant array of moral force:
which is gathering beneath its shadow.
