SrEAEixo Of the ballad of "Anna laurie"
Mr.. Robert Chambers myS, these two
verses which are In style wonderfully ton
der and cbaste for their age, were written
by n Mr.. Douglas, Of Finland, upon Annie,
one Of the four daughters Of Sir Robert
Laurie, first Baronet Of Marwclton, by his
second vile, who WINS daughter Of Riddell
Of Mimic. Az Sir Robert was created n
Baronet Ia the year 1885, II ~ probable the
verses were eomp@ed about the end Of the
seventeenth century. II Is painful TO record
that, Notwithstanding the ardent and chiyal-
rous affection displayed by Mr.. Douglas in the
poem. be did not obtain the heroine for
a wife she was married TO Mr. Ferguson Of
Crsgdarreck."

SOUTHERN FACroRIEs.-In an article on this sub
ject the New Orleans Picayunc shows that the
southern States have accomplished far more than
they receive credit for in the way of manutactur-
ing their own cotton and wo0len goods, while a
steady progress is making in this direction. 1t
says
'In South Carolina, far back as 1850, there
were eighteen cotton factories, which were worked
with credit
ain Georgia thirty-tive cotton factories then
in full operation, with capital of 81 1856 l56,
producing 7,269, ,292 yards OF sheetings and 4,l9S,
35l pounds of yarn. Three woolen factories were
also in full tide successful experiment manufac-
turing $40 $50 yards of cloth.
ain Alabama were found thirteen cotton facto-
ries, with a capital of S68l 900, and three olen
factories, which returned handsome annual profits.
"In Louisiana beginning had been made, two
cotton factories having commenced operations.
"Kentucky and Teunesse had embarked more
largely in this species of industry, the former con-
tanning eight cotton and twenty-seven wooen fac
tories the latter thirtythree cotton and four wool
en- factories.
'These facts true in 1850, do not present the
condition of southern manufacturing companies IN
1882 We have made progress in this depart
ment of industry really creditable, ana the lnnu-
ence of the success of such undertakings upon pub
lie sentiment will undoubtedly render our advance
in manufacturing for our home wants noticeable

We were greatly hurried with our letters ves-
terday, and now have another opportunity of wri-
ting in time to catch the mail. therefore send this
as a postscript to my letter. The news is quite
important, and will not reach any other journal
think.
cannot understand the present attitude of
Chinese dipomatists toward u.s. but shall be able to
give light perhaps, after our visit to Peking
which now seems determined.
Messrs. Bruce and Bourboulon have both re-
monstrated (the latter on the 4th, the former yes
terday, 9TH in friendly manner with Mr. Ward,
the object being to deter him from going to Peking
vi course he has but one course-to have his treaty
eXchanged whenever 1T can be accomplished with
dignity to our Government.
Finding, yesterday, that our f'iuuk' was getting
along very slowly, and feeling confident that she
had communication from the Governor-General
we got up steam the Toeywan and sent to
tow her up. At p. NJ. she was brought alongside
and two white ball Mandarins came on board in
company with Mr.. Martin, the Interpreter. The
Governor-General Hung, of which the following is
the sense:
aforementioned Hung had received the letter
OF the American Minister, and would be at the for
titled entrance, miles to the north of the Pei
ho forts, to meet upon any day that he, Mr.. Ward
might select. Thence he would be conducted to
Tein-tsing, where the treaties could be exchanged
and after that he would be escorted to Peking,
there to deliver the Presidents letter to the En-
peror IN person. 1t gave Governor-Genera Hung
great pleasure to be polite to the Americans their
bearing had always been so friendly.
The foregoing is what table-talk tells us it con-
tanned, and the same authority saws that Friday,
the Sth, is the day appointed for the interview.
shall know better what to think of this very strange
letter after have been to Peking The English
Minister and several of the squadron return to
Shanghai to-day.
