In aAorre.pondence that ensued between
Captain Plat, Of the U. S. sIoop of-war
Albany, and the Captain General Of CUBA.
in which the former was endeavoring to
secure the liberation of the hundred and
sixty Americans sent 10 Spain, the latter,
refusing the request, says at the conclusion
of his last communication TO Captain Plat,
that: 1.-The Hves Of The prisoners are guar
anteed by the amnesty contained in my cir.
sular Of The 24th of August."
This will at least relieve the anxiety OF
the friends of the prisoners, whose fate af'
ter reaching Spain was uncertain until the
publication of this correspondence.

OFFICE SEEKING.

AS soon ns the power departs from one

who have been struggling to rescue the

MANUFACTURES OF THE SOUTH.-
British manufactures, after centuries
Of protection and encouragement.
have attained 10 Il degree Of Skill and
acquired such an amount Of capital.
as to require no further aid from Gov.
ernment. Formerly, their colonies
were not permitted to make a nail or
a horseshoe, as was avowed by the
Earl Of Chatham in the House of
Lords. in order that the home manu-.
lactures might enjoy n monopoly in
the vast colonial empire of Great
Britain, anI because the establish
mcnt of manufactures would consti.
tute a potent element Of political in
dependence and a final separation
from the mother country.
The South possesses great natural
advantages, which it should go to
work to more fully devclope. 1t should
manufacture what is INDISPENSABLE for
public defence as we'll as for the com.
forts of lite. The employment of
slave labor should be more divcrsii.
ed than it s at nrescnt. The tolpc.
co and cation planters strive to in
crease their products year after year
by clcaIng new fields and buying
more negroes. In this way is oil
their surplus capital invested. They
depend on their staples entirely to buy
every thing else. Why not manu-
facturc more ana produce less? In
their mountain regions as fine sheep
can be raised as in any other coun-
try. Water power is abundant. and
slave labor might be prolilabIy en-
ployed in making wool hats, and wool
len manufactures generally. Coal is
here in abundance, and iron orc can
he converted into thousands of ar,i-
cles OF every day use. Leather can
be manufac!cd to any required a.
mount. and the finest grass can be
raised for the growing of the cattle
which would allord the hides rcquir-
ed for the manufactures. while timber
and water falls are always at hand.
With the cotton. which is indspcnsa-

development of its resources. and
with progress and perfection in man
