CURIOUS FACT IN REGARD TO COTTON.


Many years ago. the senior editor Of this
paper was informed by his venerable and
hereditary friend Samuel Maverick, Esq, Of
Pendleton. that when boy. as clerk in the
house of his uncle, Mr.. William Turpin, Of
Charleston, he assisted in packing the first
bag Of cotton ever sent to Liverpool from
the United States. Mr.. Maverick is still
living, and wenow export some two millions
of bags Of cotton every year! The cotton
packed BY Mr.. Maverick was PUT in the seed
This was long before Whitney's invention OF
the cotton Gin. The censignee Of this lone
bag Of cotton informed the house OF Wads-
worth & Turpin. that he could not sell il !!
that il was valneless and advised them to
send no more! How little this faithful fac
tor saw into futurity If any one had said
to him, that in less than seventy years, and
during the lifetime of the boy who had pack
ed that very bale OF cotton, millions aud mil
lions of bags would be annually sent across
the Atlantic for safe in England and France,
he would have pronounced him a mailman
or fool. But it has been done, and cotton
has become the great means by which civil
iZation is to spread over the earth. The
cheapness Of cotton fabrics has taught the
savage to clothe himself and exercise indus.
try, in obtaining the means OF purchasing
this comfort and evidence of civilization.
Millions of human beings are employed 10
the cultivation of cotton, hundreds OF thou
sands in its manufacture, and the whole
world are clothed in il. This, TOO, has hap
pened in the lifetime of one man still lir.

In connection with this matter. We will
state another curious fact in relation TO The
invention Of the cotton gin. Sam years af-
ter the Reynlutlanary war, the father OF ca

ordered the 18th and s7Ih Regiments to ad-

of the 18th was just at the foot OF the hill
upon the top of which the enemy was post

left. The order was given TO the regiment
to charge up the hill on the battery. The
18th started boldly. when about halfway to
the battery, they found il to be supported
by six Regiments Of infantry. Col. Cowan
then ordered the regiment to fall back TO the
woods, but before leaving they delivered a
whitening fire into the enemy. II was at this
time that We lost most OF our men, the ene-

hours, holding lis posi,ian, and driving the
enemy from his position 10 the woods. The
only other regiment which participated was
the 57ih, which opened fire after the 18th
had retreated 10 the woods. Our artillery
could render very little assistance, as they
could get no position from which they
could operate to advantage. twas thus af-
