regiment after receiving their uniforms from
the Military Board:
"1he uniforms sent from New York were

A great deal has been published lately on
the above subject, especially in our daily pa
pers, and it has been stated that fax cotton
capable of being used as substitute for
common cotton, can be produced for nine
cents Per pound. 1t would naturally be ex.
pected that when ordinary cotton is now
selling for eighteen cents per pound, that
this would be the very time to hiring fax
cotton into market and obtain very remuner-
ating PRICES forit. We must state, however,
that thus far, we have seen no larger auan-
titles than mere samples exhibited. There
has not been pound Of fax cotton fit for
carding and spinning yet offered for sale in
New York, to our knowledge. Last week
we examined several samples Of fax cotton
which were exhibited in one Of the ware
houses in our city, and two manufacturers
present stated they were ready to take a large
quantity Of it, provided they could employ
1t as substitute for cotton, but they were
incredulous and wished to try one hundred
pounds Of it at first.
There is very inviting fie!d open for in
Producing substitute for cotton. If the
state of affairs continues as st present.
with the southern ports blockaded, for four
months, about two million bales Of fax cot
ton may be sold, for at least fifteen cents per
pound, If it can be used on cotton machin
cry. Never before in the history ef the
world, has such an opening been presented
for the introduction Of new, cheap fibrous
material into oHr manufactures. Large for
tunes are yet vibrating on the cotton ques.
tion, and inventors cannot devote themselves
to line o: study more profitable to them
selves and the country, than 10 finding a
