MANUFACTURE OF PAPER.

Speaking Of this article OF prime importance to the
publishing world, an exchange says that STOCK
company has recently been formed in Havana Tor tne
establishment of paper mandatory, with capi1ai
Of 100000, in shares Of 81 200 each, which were
promptly taken. and already command premium q
four per cent. At preliminary meeting OF the STOCK
holders held just before sailing of the last steamer
it was resolved to increase the capital to S4ooooo'
and to establish mandatory which will supply as
good and cheap an article rs can be produced in the
United States Or England.
The Havana people are undoubtedly ahead Of US Of
New Orleans, although we dislike exceedingly the
constraint tina. compels the acknowledgment. They
will have a paper mill in successful operation before
we shall in all human probability and yet there is
ten tmes as much necessity, and ten-fold larger
field Tor an enterprise Of the kind in this city, than
there is in Havana This calculation is too moderate
We verify believe there is one hundred.fold more
printing and writing paper consumed in New Orleans
than there is in Havana. Still we have no paper manu-
factory and the signs of the times indicate that the
day is far distant when we shall be able to boast of
one.
That paper mill would do well in this city or vi
cinty, If properly managed there is not shadow Of
doubt. The raw material is here in abundance, and
a splendid home market stands ready to pour into
the hand of enterprise muniGcent patronage. How
long, in the name Of common sense common profit,
and common independence, shall the material from
which paper is fabricated be gathered together, ship
ned North, there manufactured, returned to us and
sold at profit
We sometimes write Southern Rights articles, and
profess to be more devoted to the of the South
than to any other cause. We frequently expose the
usurpations and aggressons of the North past pres
ent and threatened in order to keep our readers
posted with regard to the fearful progress Of events
50 that they may make preparations for portentous
future But, how do we vindcate the cause of the
South and exposethe outrages of the North? On what
paper? With what pens? and with what ink !? Why,
we write on Northern made paper, with pen manu-
featured at the North and with Northern ink, poured
from Northern bottle into a Northern inkstand!
It is difficult to write under such circumstances.
Looking into the inkstand sometimes fancy we see
the yisage of a Black Republican reflected there.
CHANGING at the sharp nib of steel pen reminds
of the keen fangs with which Seward and Greeley
would rend the South and occasionally, the paper
on which we trace lines Of thought SMELLS as it were,
| of Freesoilism.
Will not some wealthy Southern.Rights men club to-
gether, establish a paper factory, set an example
which, if duly followed, will relieve the South from
the dependence under which she now labors and at
the same time make money for themselves? Here is
subject that appeals alike to pride, pelf and patriot
ism. Besides people have right to call upon
their editors to defend them with tools furnished by
their assaiants The tools should be furnished by
themselves especially the furnishing would carry
with it decided profit Where is the patriot who
will lend his aid conntenance and cash to push for
