may, therefore, bemade to prosper harmonious
ly in this State. Instead Of the inquiry pro-
pounded by Mr.. Coczrill, we should have ceeul-
ed more pertinent: 'Shall these staples be man
ufactured in or out of TENNESSEE" Why may
not Tennessee become a great manufacturing
State She is rapidly sugmenting her outlets
to the markets of the county, and all that is
wanting to make ours a manufacturing State,
is men of energy and capital to take bold and
push things through. We already have a
number of manufactures that turn out cotton
and wooden fabrics equal in texture and finish
to tie products of similar establishments in
other States.
II is stated that there are now in Georgia
between fifty and sixty cotton factories, con-
Quoted in the most skiIlful and successful man
ner, with all the appliances in the way Of ma;
chinery that can be found in the same kind
p os establishments in New England. 1t is tile
progress which the people of Georgia have
made in building up these and similar indus
trial enterprises, that has secured for that
State the proud title of the Eapirs STATE Of
the South. What does Tennessee lack to rival
Georgia in those features which constitute
great State? Only men of energy who will
apply their capital to the building up of man
factories.
The Fair has proved highly creditable to all
concerned, and q source Of great interest to
the large crowds of ladies and gentlemen that
thronged the halls of exhibition both day and
night. 1t was source of no little pride and
qualification to witness there the display Of the
ingenuity and skill of Tepnessee's own me-
chanics and Of her fair daughters. In this re-
spect, Tennessee will.unqnestionably take high
rank among her sister States. = -. ---,

APPOINTMENT. - President Pierce Las APP
pointed the Hon. George W. Hopkins, of Vir-,
ginia, Chief Justice of the Circuit Court of the
District of Columbi8, to fill the vacancy coca
stoned by the death of Judge Craneh. Mr..
Hopkins was formerly a member Of Congress
from the district adjoining the Eastern portion
of this State, and was subsequently Charged
d'Afflires TO Portugal under Mr.. Folks ad-
ministration, in neither Of which positions did
heacqure any distinction, except that of be-
ing " forcibly feeble statesman. He is at
present Judge of the Circuit Court conpos-
ed of portion of his old Congressional district,
a fact that is scarcely known outside Of his
circuit, so little legal or even mental ability
does he bring to his aid in the discharge of the
duties devolving upon him. The mantle of
Judge Cranch has fallen upon one poorly quail |
fled to adorn the bench Us did the venerable /
Judge But such appointments are in perfect
keeping with the character of the present Ad- !
miHisiratioD.
The National Hatelligeneer, in publishing I
this appointment, remarks:
The announcement of this fact, however accept |
able the appointment may eventually prove, has |
excited no little surprise in this community, among
whom the selection of resident of the District had
been regarded as a thing of course-the only pos I
sibty, indeed, that had been contemplated by |
many Of them. |
