two small parties Of about thirty each. Two
companies of infantry and one of cavalry went
out in pursuit and arrested some thirty forty of
these men, the remainder escaping to the woods.

SOUTHERN MANuFAcruRING.-M James,
the newly elected Senator from Rhode
Island, who has set in motion as large a
number OF spindles as any other man,
says the South has many advantages for
manufacturing herr own cotton that the
North does not possess, and that. by
using her natural advantages. she could
monopolize the whole business. She
has cotton on tbespot, the product of her
own fields. and that cotton costs the
Southern manufacturer less per pound,
by about two cents, than it costs the
manufacturer at the North. This saving
alone, from the cost of the manufactured
fabric at the Northern mill, will arnoant
10 at least six per cent. per annum on
the capital of the mill, and which, added
to the profits of Northern manufacture
ers mnst be much greater than the profits
of the cotton field. He adds:
If she will accelerate her pace, and
keep sway with the North, and achieve

huence she truly deserves, she must do
as the North does She must cease to
purchase from broad every manufactured
article she wants, from steam-engine to
penny whistle, aud make them for her

ho branch of business, especially at this
moment, that is more worthy of her at

engage, none more profitable. There is
