SOUTHERN MANUFAcTUREs.-The "New
Orleans Bulletin" has reviewed the subject of
establishing Cotton Factory in or near the
city of New Orleans. In discussing its prc-
ticablity, II sets forth facts and arguments
of general interests in regard to Southern
Manufactures. 1t says that, Sin l840, the
value of Cotton Manufactures in the five
Southern States, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, was
Sl,575,sl0. In 1850, the value of such
manufactures had increased to 1858, 332.-
The greatest absolute increase was in Geor-
gia. The value Of her manufactured cotton,
in 1910, was S3O4, 1902; while in 1850, it was
$2,l34,O44. The greatest relative increase,
however, was in Alabama. In 1910, her Cot
ton Manufactures amounted in value only to
the insignificant sum of $I7,547; while in
1850, they had increased $3s2,23o, or nearly
seventeen times what they were in the first
named yearl Alabama is pre-eminently
cotton growing State. Her climate and soil
are admirably adapted to the cultivation of
the greatest staple, and yetit is found that
her Cotton Manufactures increase in value,
in ten years, seventeen hundred per cent
If these manufactures had not been profta-
BILE, that is if they had not returned fair
per cent, upon the capital invested in them,
would they have increased at this rapid, we
may say, unprecedented ratio! Every one
must admit that, under the circumstances,
they would not. This, therefore, is proof
positive that capital thus invested returns
good per cent"

THE NEW CONGRESS-THE ADMIN
ISTRATION.


All the elections for representatives in the
next Congress have nov TRANSFERRED. The
Democratic majority will be about sixteen
over both Americans and Republicans. The
Democrats will doubtless unite in caucus
and select the speaker, clerk and other of
fcers. So far all will go smoothly. 1t is
not probable that the Kansas question will
rend the party asunder prior to the organi-
cation. $500
The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
says in a recent letter:
When the questions shall arise, however,
which may involve the Walker administra-
ton policy-supposing the administration
policy to be then well defined, and to be
identical in regard to any vital point with the
acts of Gov. Walker-such a number of
Southern Democratic members may secede
as 10 throw the administration into minori-
ty, or entirely destroy the harmony of the
Democratic majority. The Northern Demo.
Gratis, fifty. three in number, will find great
relief from an unknown future by following
the lead of the administration, and at the
oahio siuiO WIN 'iSNo vi tHCIi
constituents. But if the tone of portion
of the Southern press rightly reflects the
sentiments of considerable part of the
South, number of the Southern Democrat
ic members will take a decided stand against
a course of federal action which has tended,
as they think, to make Kansas free State
Nothing is more probable than the appear
ance in Congress of Southern organization
against the administration.
II is said that neither House, in their pre-
liminary arrangements, will be in haste to
dispose of the enormous amount of spoils
which are embraced under their appropria-
tons for printing, binding, &c. They
amounted, as has been stated upon high au.
thority, to an aggregate during the last Con.
gress, of not less than two millions; sum
of no inconsiderable magnitude in our ex-
chequer, for the days of large SURPRISES are
over, for the present. A system combining
more economy and accountability can be es-
tablshed than that which has lately prevail

Although it was plain Mr.. Bell was to be

disappointment at the accomplishment of the
deed, or chronicle it without expressing our
sincere regret that the counsels Of SO able,

in such times as these, to be lost to the Sen.
ate of the country. His retiremsnt will

lied. OF late years the great lights that IL
lumined the nation and made the Senate
Chamber renowned and glorious, have, one
after another, disappeared from their honor
ed seats-some removed to places of grave
responsibility and exalted trust; some ostra-
cised for holding political opinions adverse to
the tenets Of the party in power and some,
alas! the greatest of all, have gone down in.
to the abodes of ''silenee and the dead."-
And their successors-but we have no need
to present the contrast, glance q: the Sem
ate.rol is sufficient for every well informed
reader.

~ A resolution has been introduced in
the Senate, asking the Hon. John Bell to re-
sign his seat in the conservative branch Of the
United States Congress. Having, in viola
ton of usage and of the previously express
cd opinions and sentiments of the democratic
party, elected successor to Mr.. Bell two
years in advance of the expiration of his
term, the Locofoco leaders in the Legislature
now have the effrontery-we may say, the
unparalleled and objectionable impudence-
to ask the distinguished Statesman to resign
his seat in that body, where he has so long
and faithfully served his country. And this
move is put on foot under the miserable plea
that Mr.. Bell opposed the passage Of the
Kansas Nebraska Bill, and that Tennessee
has since thrice voted to sustain that mea-
sure--so fruitful of agitation and trouble
and therefore he ought to resign. The Kan
sas.Nebraska bill was a gigantic swindle-
the most stupendous cheat that political kna.
very ever concocted to play off on a confid-
ing people. Mr.. Bell early foresaw what
would be the effect and the ultimate results of
the measure, II adopted, and pointed them
out, as events have since demonstrated, with
a certainty and truthfulness little short of
inspiration. He had the sagacty to foresee
ard the frmness and eloquence to portray
the evils and outrages that would flow from
the iniquitous measure; and for this the Lo'
cofoco leaders have hunted him, and continue
to hunt him, with oil the cklessness of po-
litical depravity and the ferocity of knavery
detected and exposed
We repudiate the position assumed by the
preamable and resolutions now before the
Legislature, that Tennessee has thrice-or
even once-endorsed the fraud practiced up
on the South under cover of the Kansas
Nebraska bill, and the charge is m imputa-
tion upon the honesty and fidelity of the peo-
pie Of the State to the interests and instiiu-
tons of their section. We trust Col. Bell
viii! give no heed TO this last miserable Of.
fort Of Locofocoism, and that he will retain
his seat in the Senate until the term for
which he was elected shall have expired
The country can lily afford, at a time like the
present, to spare from that body such abilities
as he possesses.
