Manufacture of Cotton.

Here Is an article from the New Orleans "Cres- cent" which we wish every capitalist and cotton planter m the South 70 read and think of. ADVANTAGE OF CoTToN MANUFAcroRRS.-Wh hen cotton Is ten cents pound, the charges attending its transportation to Liverpool amount to four cents pound. The cotton which comes back 10 us m the manufactured fabrics pays, first, the charges Of export, proht to ,he manufacturer, and all he charges attending on return. New 0rleans exports l,ooO00o, which, al ten cents would amount 10 S45, ,000, ,000. The cost Of trans poraton will more than cover all the expense of converting tke raw article into yarns and the ous kinds Of cloth. So that If the English would spin and weave for nothing, II would be better business for us to manufacture 1t al home, and pay our own peop.e for theIr work This million, worth now only S45000,0 900. If converted into warns and coarse cottons, will be worth Sl50, ,0d0,- 000. lift is asked how this wealth IS to be re- ianed, the answer IS obvious. Divert a part of .he slave labor from the field 10 the factory. Di- mnsh the quantity ot the raw material, and in- crease that of the manufactured. This will keep up the prceS of boib.

Again and again we have heard the same story, with va rious notifications. It got into the newspapers as curious and characteristic anecdote.

HsroRv OF ALcouoI.-Aicohol was invented nine hundred and hfty years ago, by the son of strange woman, Hagar, in Arabia. Ladies used Il with powder o paint themselves, that they mig ht appear more beautiful, and thiS powder was called alcohol During the reign ot William and Mary an act was passed encouraging the manufacture of spirits. Soon aiier, incompetence and proagac prevailed 10 such an extent that the retailers in intoxicating drinks put up signs in public places informing the people that they might get drunk for penny. and have some straw io gel sober on.
 In Inc sixteenth century distilled spirits srread over the continent Of Europe. About ihs time 1t was introduced into the colonies, as the United States then called. The first notice we have of IS use m public life among the laboferS in the Hungarian mneS n the fifteenth century In iT5l Il was used by the English soldiers as a cor. dial The alcohol n Europe was made oi grapes and sold lu Italy and Spain medicine.

WILLS ox Kossurn We clip the following piQuant paragraphs from the ' Home Journal = They are characteristic of Willis, and in hS pecu- liar style og pop gunnery, but suggestive, never theIess, naEnteresting, of course:
 Well--ihe Magystls a comet ! We admire hm immensely, thus far. The fall of his country becomes, in his hands, rebound ID which the world Is interested. Ills imprisonment in Turkey eniiStS the Sultan to give him gold, and be his usher to liberty. A republic sends him ship for hlS uses. France confesses her dread of his power and refuses hun transit through her domInlons. England receives him with tumuit that would not be eeualled by all the crowned heads of Europe into London. Ready as John Bull IS 10 cry " humbug" the tamult waxes rather than wanes under his eoquence and he IS likely to have Jeff England the peoples idol. What progress considering Il began with a defeat
 We think kOSSuth'S Severest test IS before hIm, however. The Americans admire a public man with one eye, and see through him with the other. Three days after Kossath's arrival, they will know him like a book Ills tact $ wonderful, and has hitherto been sufficient; but the preudiees and opinions 10 which he has been obliged 10 shape himself in England, based upon permanent national characteristics, and upon political points well settled and understood. Here II IS more ticklish navigation. There IS a new freshet every month, and the snags' are never two days in the same place. If the Magysrs black feather does not run foul ef one, on American waters, in the first of those speeches of lis which are as long as a run down the whole Mississippi, shall think h,nl still greater pilot than we do now. Mean tune, he is undoubtedly hero and an oratog--ha:
