ElRTH-C AROLINA MANUFACTURES.-We are glad
m have another 0he secondJ response to our offer to
,,iiish statistics of home manufactures with view
!, rect the attention Of our home people to them,
,or; than heretofore This comes from the BlOunts
I.rc.; Factory in this town. And in this connec
,;.i we may state that for the first time we have
I.,n made aware of the variety and beauty as well
:, excellence of the fabrics woven at this mill At
rbr store of the Agent, Mr. McNcill (see his adver-
tiscncnt) saw the various styles of goods enum-
Grated below, all of which are evidently honestly
made but the plads and stripes surprised us for
we had TO idea that any such neat goods were made
bere-FdyetterMe OJserrer.
BLoUNT's CREEK FACTORY,
Situated near the Centre Of Fayetteville,
Spns about $50 bales cotton annually. Manu-
fctrres yarns sheetingS, strainer CLOTH oSnaburgS,
drillngs, and coored goods plaids and stripes, cx-
ceIlcnt articles for womenS wear much superior to
the Malboro' stripes, purchased at the North and
sold in such quantities in our Southern markets
There are attached to the factory, Wool Cards in
excellent ORDER built by the superintendent J, Ker-
shaw; the rolls may be spun by hand, and the
factory vii; furnish the warp and weave the cloth
at 12G cts. per yard plan or Is cts. per yard for
twiled, GeanS)
They are prepared and propose to make warp of
anv number desired, and from % to.3OO yards long,
sized and ready for use, at small advance on the
price of the yarn in the bundle. Country people
would find it great saving to procure their thread
in state of readiness for the loom; it does away
with the boiling, sizing spOoling and warping,
which are no small tax on their time and patience.
NODE OF CULTIvATING CoTToN.-Mr. Peter Cox,
of Cabarrus county, (says the Charlotte Denoerat)
who took the second premium offered by the Meek
enburg Agricultural Society for the I'd largest crop
on one acre, has furnished us with the following
statement as to his mode of cultivation:
MuLGRovE Cabarrus Co.. Feb. 4.
raised 2210 lbs. of Cotton in seed on one acre
ofland My mode of culture is simply as follows:
Planted Pett-Gulf seed on old land the Odd of April
the land had been made rich in former years by
accidental circumstances, but did not have any re-
centappcatOn of manure Rolled the seed in leach
cd aSheS-plOwed out the cotton stalks of former
year with two-horse bull-tongue, then with turn
plough ridged on the old bed; used side harrow
in the first working and chopped through the row
with hoe the last week in May used side shovel
with the land side to the row; the first week in
June thinned to a stand, leaving two stalks near
as may be to every foot Second week in June
threw out the middes with cotton sweep; next
working used the side-harrow, then used the sweep
again. one fnrrow in the middle, and closed the work
ing with the sde-harrow about the middle Of July.
Planted the rows 8 feet inches to feet apart.

The Census.

A letter from Washington says: 1.-The
returns Of the eighth census are rapidly COM
ing in, and it rests now with the Depart
ment to digest the cumbrous material for
the comprehension and use of the people.
Very few are aware of the toilscme and te-
dious character of the work. The enormous
chaos of figures has to be dissolved into some
total, giving light where before was MOTH
ing but darkness. Townships, villages,
small and large cities, counties and States
all have to bring in their share to swell the
amount of the productiveness and greatness
of this country. AS there are at least seven
millions of people more in the United States
than in 1850, the work of preparing the
present census will, of course, be so much
larger. But not only our population has
tremendously increased we find the same
ratio of national development in every
branch of our industrial, commercial, agri-
cultural and political life The eyes of the
world are directed upon the exploits of the
Census Office. 1t is there where the fruits
of civil liberty and republican institutions
will best be visible. The superintendent
of the census of 1860, is conided to Mr. j.
G. G. Kennedy, statician, whose name is
mentioned with respect not only in Ibis
country, but also in Europe.
