AT Bankstown, in Choctaw county,
Miss, a cotton factory was established few
years ago, which, owing to improper man
agement and want of good operatives. in.
stead Of yielding profit, did not for several
years even pay expenses. Under these dis.
conraging circumstances, the company effec-
ted an arrangement with an experienced busi-
ness firm, who took the directing manage.
ment of the concern. In addition to OsDa
ourg'' they induced the company to manu-.
f'cture kerscy goods. Since that time the
business , has rapidly improved-lle goods
have obtained an excellent reputation, and
the Kerseys, particularly, are acknowIcdg ged
to be superior to anything Of the kind ever
sold in this country. Tie demand now is
greater than the supply, and the profits may

TLe News from Nicaragua,

The intelligence from Nicaragua pub
lished in our telegraphie column yesterday,
is highly interesting and important. Not
withstanding the confident predictions to
the contrary by his enemies amongst the
psalm singing Yankees" Walkers career
continues to be successful. He moves for
ward with the step of conqueror, fearing
no obstacle and overcoming all the enemies
which beset bis path. Every engagement
with the hostile forces which have COM
bined against him developes some new
trait inhis character, marking him as wise
chief, aud true hero. The destruction
of Granada startles by its boldness and
promptness. 1t was, doubtless, called for
by the exigencies of the times; and he did
not hesitate TO give it over to the cOnsum-
ing flame. If the reported loss of the enc
py-three thousand-eVen approaches cor.
rectness, the series of battles which ended
in Walkers triumph must have been bloody
as well as brilliant We shall look to the
details of them with deep interest.

"With US, mother'' said Kate's large, dark eyes

A look of mingled scorn and satisfaction swept
over her cousins handsome face. dangerous ri

''lt is very proper, presume" she said, super

We should chance to meet which is not very likely

She took the card Mrs. Percval had given her

nuptials we're strewn upon the bridal bed OF death.
She was buried in her wedding robes this morn>

The delay in the arrival Of the steamer caused
some anxiety among those who hal friends on
board; and there wac one who watched at the wharf
until midnight on Friday; and when the good news
was telegraphed-'the Arsgo is below"-he went
home to his friends ineXpressibly happy. The next
morning, on going early to the ship to welcome the
bride OF his heart, he found that the souls idol"
had Just departed. The cold casket was there, but

We heard an lrishman, some time since, re-
mark, that ''if it had not be n for the foreign
English, Ireland would now be free" and the
thought Immediately occurred, that in future
days, some son of Columbia might be com
PEELED to make the very same observation. We
do not say that this will absolutely be the fate
of our country, but we do say, that from the
present aspect of affairs such contingency is
not only q possibility, but probability. The
first great step to that end has been taken, and
when the ball is once set in motion, God only
knows where it will stop. From its centre to
circumference our common Union has been
rocked, and even yet the convulsion is felt
Sectional candidates for the highest offices, ar
rAyed in sectional strife, feelings and preiu-
dices. embttered and strengthened. The ques-
ton of slavery, upon which so mnch has been
said, and the agitation of which is so perilous
TO our existence as a nation, has been viewed
and held up to view in every light with which
fsnsticsm. and bigotry could invest it.
The mission of the American party is TO qui-
ct this agitation, aud restore peace and harlnO-
ny to distracted country. Gentlemen may
oavil and editors deny, but there is one truth
which stares very thinking man in the face:
The agitation Of this question Of SJG0ery has
Kept e0en pace Nth the foreign emigration,
growing with ats growth, and strengthening
with its strength. We all admit that the ms
jority of those of our foreign population who
settle in the Southern States, soon lose all their
Rntipathies 10 slavery, and, in many instances,
become Shareholders. But this class, compared
with the annual immigration TO this country,
is exceedingly small, not exceeding one in ev.
cry ten--snd this has been made an argument
10 prove the uselessness of Southern Ameri-
can Party. From this, however, we differ,
and use the same statement upon which to
base an argument con. Those who arrive and
settle North of Mason and Dixon's line, nour-
ished as they have been in land Gbhorring
slsvery, and with their prejudices inhsmed
against the South, by those who make it their
special business to Beecher-ise, serve only to
increase the element ofopposition to Southern
interests and intlame the feelings of one halt
Of our Republic against the other. The immi-
grafton from Europe for the last FIVE years
alone, has poured upon our shores at least one
million Of foreign fanatics, who are, by process
Of forged naturalization papers, already voting
away our dearest rights. The ratio of repre-.
sentation which is at the present time recog-
nized, would entitle them to as many a. eleven
representatives in the Representative Hall OF
the nation, and thirteen electoral votes for
President and Vice President of country for
which the only passion they entertain is one Of
contempt. We contend, therefore, that there
10 use, and great use, for the existence snC
prosperity Of the American Party.-MGrior
