What Next :!

The movements OF the Yankee forces both naval and
military along the coasts of orth and South Carolina
have recently been exceedingly pulling. They have
organized immense expeditions and have go1e from
Beaufort, North Carolina, to Beaufort, South Carolina
As yet, they not known to have made any impor
tant movement from the latter place. if we except the
attack upon Fort MeAlster which they have been car
rypg with several Monitors and as yet the saucy
little fort is untaken and its defenders remain per
nety obstinate The capture of Fort NcAster would
hardly put them foot nearer Savannah.
If after making their first rendezvous in this State
they moved to South Carolina it is by no means i'm
possible that they should make second movement back
to this State but we hardly believe that any important
portion haze done so although we have reasons for more
than suspectpg that BURNSIDE has been very recently
down at Newbern or Washington, Or both. IF SrANLY
has resigned ne has not yet gone and we think will not
30 soon.
North Carolina is the scene of BURNsIDE's only sue
eesses and that by virtue of overwhelming numbers
Old ABE told BURNSIDE, after he left the Rappahau
noch, that he had work for him. May not his recent
visit to this State indicate the nature of that work. and
tae theatre upon which it is to be executed.
Ii there art any acceasions of troops at Washington
or NeWpern they are probably drawn from the force
at snnolk' formerly under PECK. We do not know IN
Ger whom it is now. The original otilla with which
BURNSIDE got into Pamlco Sound is probably dspers
ed at any rate the portion retained may be regarded
as being on local service and not likely to 90 much to
Sea. Troops from Suffolk can come through the canal
vG Norfolk Others, coming by sea, will be certain to
land at Morehead City We do not think any had vet
come in the latter direction.

The Cotton Manufacture of Russia has develop
mept Of which few people have any idea. Every Rus
sian peasant male AID female wears cotton clothes
The men printed shirts and trowsers and the wo-
men are dressed from head to foot in printed cotton
also. When it is remembered that Russia contains
something like 100000 of sers besides other classes
amounting to 20000000 all using this article more or
less, one can estimate the demand for cotton goods
This is supplied chiefly by native labor in mills con-
tanning machinery made in Oldham and Manchester,
and superintendent by Englishmen from the same neigh
boring towns. There may be five or six millions ST
spindes at work spinning this cotton together win the
weaving and printing of the same that forms indeed
large ite perhaps the largest among the manufactur.
