IF Since our last issue inexorable death has been busy in our midst. On Saturday morning the 4tn inst, gloom was cas-, over the whole city by the announcement of the death of two of oar most valued and estimable citizens. One, Judge L. R.

ANDREW FREr- NAN, Rector of ChtiSt church, and only daughter of the fate Hon. CHESTER ASHLEY. Endowed with all she shining virtues which ennoble and elevate her sex, as a daughter, as friend, as a wife or as mother; none knew her but to love and admire, and all sincerely mourn the toss of one So gifted and so pure.
 We feel that no words we can utter will ale viaie the grief deep distress of those who knew and loved Mrs. FREEMAN. The most exalted praise, the loftiest eulogy w:ll we know, fall cold upon the desolate and heart stricken family who cher ished and idolized her, but brief tribute to her virtues, her purity and lovelness may still be re- corded by one who knew her from the wild and sunny days of her childhood, till maturer years de- veloped her character fall of purity and goodness.

Maaafaeture of Cotton raru.

We have several ilzses alluded to th6 prastIca bility of our cotion plaRters makirg cotton yarns Hitherto we have spoken only of he advantages to be derIyed in supplying the home market but we see no reason why the south should no, man ufacture cotton yarns iss expsrtation and compete successfully with the cotton spianers Of England. From statistics hitherto collected. 1t appears that the cost of moving pound of cotton isan the co., ton gins of the NIssisSipp valley to the mills at Manchester in England IS about four cents. For less cssi it could be made up into cotton yarn wogth twsce eF ihsee sics as much as the original cost of the, cotton. The manufacturing of these products is simple and the machinery within the means of eyegy planter in the State.
 The price is not variable like ,ha, of cotton cloths. During the recest derfession in the price of cotton fabrics. when the New Eagsaad cloth mills were losing naney and many af them obliged to stop the yarn spinaess of Manchester were re- alziag ready sales and large profits.
 The saies of this material are mach more e1ten- sive than many now imagine. As an instance it has been computed thst daring the first five months of the present year there have been shipped from three ports of England to the East adas and China alone elssen millions pound Of cotton twist. The exports to Earope are much greater, and |; should 6e remembered that these exportationz made by the English manufacturer. who pay for the cotton four ceuss per pound, more than 1t costs at home where # is raised. With this material difference in oaf favss. no.hiag but the will is wanting to enable as tS compete successfully with the Eng lsh manufacturers for this very lucrative trade.
 lis sabjsct well worth the consideration of our plea.sEs. who have suffered so frequently by fhe lucfaasions in tsss price Of the material.
