to make the spinning Of cotton profitable ct the
present prices of their goods although they have
In their warehouses Q stock Of raw cotton to run
them four months, and the average cost of which
at the mills is twelve and half cents per pound
or about three cents lower than present prices,
either at the Southern depots or in New York.
Their goods have accumulated, and they think it
wiser to stop manufacturing and lose the interest
on the raw material than to go on and add to
the dead capital the additional cost of labor.
The large steam mill at Rockport, Maine, has
stopped manufacturing. The directors announce
that they are stocked with cotton up to Novem-
Der, but having an unusual surplus of goods on
hand, which cannot be sold at remunersive prices,
they will not resume, to use their own words,
"until there is q corresponding rise in the manu-
featured articles, which cannot be looked for as
long as the markets are full and the demand
light" AT Lowell, Mass, the largest mills are
running only four and Eve days per week. Some
there and in that vicinity, are announced as
stopping for repairs, which are not likely to be
completed before November" in plain language,
stopping the useless manufacture of goods until
the people can buy them.
Money is in unusual request all over New Eng
and This is owingin part to the Gums drained out
of all classes Of society for Kansas contributions
but chiefly to the wild speculation in land and
city lots all over the Weston States, which, let
the result be it may, will not enrich the section
called New England. There is no scarcity of
cotton, but owing to the causes we have indicated
the ability Of the mass Of families to buy new
clothing this year is not go great as heretofore,
and economy and severe retrenchment from all
but necessares lie the universal rule. That storm
is brewing in the commercial horizon there can
be no doubt He who runs may read.

THE EXECUTION OF THE NEGRO DOgsEY.-In
another part of this paper the reader will find
an account of the execution and last moments of
the wretched negro Dorsey, who, as will be re-
membered, murdered white prostitute some
weeks ago. The execution was, as usual strictly
private, none but the officers Of the law and the
reporters being present the sentence was carried
into effect with perfect decorum. The negro at
tempted to make q speech and did utter great
number of confused and incoherent sentences,
which were not quite Ineligible to the persons
around him he seemed to require Divine sup
port, and Hed-we may say-uttering convulsive
appeals to the Holy Virgin for assistance and
spiritual comfort.
The most curious feature of the execution was
the appearance at the windows Of the prison
which are go built that the prisoners cannot,
through them, see the court yard-of . number
of mirrors of all sizes and shapes These were
The looking glasses of the prisoners, by whose
aid they rendered themselves distant spectators
of the scene. Whether any of these prisoners run
any chance of finding themselves in Dorsey's
place, we know not but if they did, they could

men are hanged.
The execution of a murderer is undoubtedly
wholesome and proper event. No greater mis-
take has been made in modern times than the
approaches toward the abolition Of capital
punishment. Nothing but the fear Of death will
deter the assassin; be laughs OF prisons and
penitentiaries; he knows that every sentence is
shortened by executive clemency. 1t will be
bad day for society when capital punishment is
altogether abolished. With these views we are
not inclined to criticise the conduct Of Gov.
King in refusing 10 pardon Dorsey but we do
think had he been white man, and not " q poor
negro in a strange land, without money and
might have dealt differently with him.

Why NAuoMEpAVs ABuoR PoRK.-Ia Eu-
rope, during many centuries, the only animal
food in general use was pork i beef, veal, NUT
ton being comparatively unknown. ltwae,
therefore. with no small aStouiSlmcnt that
the crusaders on returning from the East,
said they had been among people, who, like
the Jews, thought pork unclcan, and refused
to cat it. But the feelings of lively wonder
which this intelligence excited wee destroyed
as soon as the cause ofthe fact was explained.
The subject was taken up by Matthew PARIS.
the most eminent historian during the Middle
Ares. This celebrated writer Informs us that
the Mohammcdans refuse to cat pork on ac-
count of singular circumstance which hap
pcned to their prophet. 1t appears that
Muhammcd having, on one OCCASION. gorgrd
himself with food and drink till he was in n
state Of inscnSi5ility, fell asleep on dung
hill, and IN this disgraccfnl condition was
seen by a litter of pigs. The pigs attacked
the fallen proplet, and suilncated him to
death for which reason his followers abomi-
nate pics, and refuse to partake Of their flesh.
This striking fact explains one great pccul ar
ity of the Mnhammeaans and another fact
equally striking, explains how it was that
their sect came into eXistance. For it was
well known that Mphammcd was originally a
Cardinal, and only became a hereto because
he failed in his design Of being elected Pope. =
