son telegraphed here that he had surrendered A
large number of arms, which had been removed

here this evening by President Buchanan. num-
Der Of Southern men were with him at the time

came, and it was announced that South Carolina had
passed the ordinance of secession and it was pri
vately reported that the South Carolina members
delivered this morning. for the purpose of going
out in body and making impression.

GAIIATrN CoTToN MuIs.-About two weeks ago
the enterprising proprietors Of this establishment
were compelled TO suspend operations, in conse-
Ouence of the improbable demand for their goods
The falling Off in home and foreign orders had COM
meneed some time prior to this suspension but the
work of manufacturing was kept up with the same
facilities employed at the Busiest seasons, and when
the doors were closed two weeks since. the store
rooms of the factory utterly packed with
goods ready for market. Since then tins branch of
trade has happily recusitated-orders have flowed
in from other places never before supplied by our
mills entirely exhausted the stock on hand, and call
ing the machinery into active service again. On
Tuesday last the large body Of operatives who had
betfrNlischarged, with every prospect Of wrestle
with "Eard times throughout the winter, returned
TO their labors with light hearts and gladstone faces,
and now the factory presents that cheerful scene OF
industry so in keeping with this enlightened age.
And why may it not so continue! Its articles of
manufacture are superior and Indispensable and If
only the merchants of our own State would assist
US with the patronage they now bestow upon North
ern mills we would not have to stop our factory be-
cause Of no orders-our goods would not have to
await the tide of necessity 10 drift them into market
Think Of this. Southern merchants-we can accom-
