were the efforts made, some few years since
j for the establishment Of cotton factories here
a successfully. But, not merely in the 1igl
which we have observed on, would such estat
: lishments be conducive of good, or fraught wit
benefit, but in several other Owners, fror
) business so profitable, wherever it has bee
tested, would derive handsome compensations
and the several handicrafsmen, and the VAR
Gus retainers, all improve, more or less, thei
fortunes thereby.
Some wisacres have armed against cotto
factories, and say that they are only adapte
f to the north, where numerous young people
and females, can at all times be had for sucl
employment; and where labor is cheaper thai
at the south-as though the very same facili
ties said to be procurable at the north, do no
present themselves here! Now in Georgia
the discerning citizens, at first glance, per
ceived the immense value which would accrue
from home manufactures, and the employment
of home capital for home purposes; for, where
but short time since, there was not single
cotton factory, there are now between fifty and
sixty! AS a consequence, the Georgians, by
local enterprise, are retaining their moneys
amongst themselves, are affording employment
to the masses, and ameliorating the condition
Of the working classes. Had we, in Louisiana,
half the factories that Georgia boasts of, diff
ferent would be the situation of several, from
what it is to-day Ten cotton factories in New
Orleans and its vicinity, would be the means of
lettering the condition of quite a large portion
Of our stra!tened and needy population. Not
only that, but the rising generation now, for
lack of something to do, thus the increase of
pauperism; leading bad, and vicious, and re
prehensible lives, viz:-s.wharf rats levee
pilfereTs, and the refugees of the Heyia street
asylum, would (because likely to be engaged
in asserting cotton, etc. be reclaimed, and be-
come, perhaps, worthy members of society;
while our city would experience the advanta-
geous effects deriyable from the diffusion of
home capital, the ramifcations of which would
extend to, and pervade, all traffic, and deal
ings, and classes.
Instead of a group Of worthless and vile
lads, as can now be Witnessed on our levees, in
skifs, and about the wharves; and young and
aged females, picking cotton, and pilferng cof
fee and corn, in the event of having factories
to repair to, and be engaged in, what change
would soon be perceptible there, and a less re-
pellant aspect presented to the view of the re-
fleeing and philanthropic. Ere the opening
of the season of business, were primary ar
made now, and joint stock compa-
MES formed, factories would be ready at fit
ting period, to commence operations. The men
who would be most certain to be successful in
such experiments, are thorough going and in
dustrious dealers-as such undertakings re-
lure zeal and attention more than capital
capital being quickly realized from them.
Wealthy men and drones, would be only
lead weights; while Georgia, and the salts
actory and profitable workings of the cotton
actores there, should serve as stimulus

Some months ago Brigham Young, of Utah,
harangue to his followers in which
lie dwelt with evident gusto and delight at the
prospect of famine, which he predicted was
bout to overtake and punish the Gentle world
# the United States for the murder of the
prophet of the Lord Joe Smith In view ,
this coming famine Brigham exhorted his !
blowers to SOW wheat, that which could over

Ise could. "Wish no evil to thy neighbour is n

ON the last accounts from Utah, these enc
