Cotton nri.s1sIss. :, tuIing in Georgia.
The past two or three years have been
critical period 10 this important interest.
What may be said Of Georgia in this respect.
Is doubtless more or less true of all the South
ern States where cotton manufacturing exists.
1t is self-evident that the manufacture OF
cotton, at least into the coarser and more
simple fabrics, is the legitimate business fct
any surplus capital that the cotton planters
may possess, provided the same can be made
profitable. Undoubtedly the cup country"
of Georgia IS well adapted, in every essen
tial particular, 10 this business and in one
important respect. TO wit, in a mild and equs-
bic climate, it has greatly the advantage of
any Northern or Eastern State. 1t has, there
fore, seemed to many wise aud lmblic-spirited
men at the South, that there must 10 the

brought back. at their expense, in the shape
of goods, as il would he for the Genesee far

the shape of -four. With some qualifications
this was undoubtedly the correct view ior
! them to take and IL was this sensible idea
which originated the manufacturing interest
of Georgia, aud has nourished it until at
length the very large amount Of capital at
stake renders its i'll success a matter of serious
consideration.
At this time there are about fifty cotton
factories in the State OF Georgia Some of
them small, lily constructed, and worse man
aged ;-others of the very best machinery
and construction, and as large as factories

two or three years have been very haud t5,onsy

Just such loss az viii be moro deeply felt

These factories have been doing good work

1t may be estimated that during the late

wears, the factories in Georgia have saved the
State from a poor tax which would otherwise
