 COMEBACK ATIoN ON JEFFERSON STREET. 9- Yesterday morning, near the hour of two, the cnginehotisc bells, somewhat in violation ofthc accustomed silence for the past few weeks, rang out the alarm offirc with frightlul energy. 1t was caused by tlc appcarancel Of flames issuing from d block of small mixed brick and frame tenements situated on Jefferson street, south side, just beyond the New Thcater. The origin of the fire is not certainly known, morris the particular building been yet ascertain ed in which it first ,oke out but the supposition is, by those who reached the scene earliest, that it comrleaced in a small rear shed attached to the mach inc shop of our old and well known citizen, Mir. A, O. Shultz. The fire de- parimcnt was promptly on the ground with is machines, which were put in operation as soon as possible, but from the amount of dry wooden material in the block, the fumes made rapid and frightful headway, and against any othcrthan the steam engines, would have become master of the situation, and soon caused a lamcntablc destruc- ton of property. As it was, the fire could not be subducd sufficiently and kept in bounds save by four or five hours inccssant labor and watchfulness of the fire department.
 Fourteen itenements, west to cast from No 115 to No. l29 were destroy ed. The loss was not large, as the buil- dings were old and small, not reaching, perhaps, over seven thousand dollars. -[Memphis Avalanche, 18th.

- MANUFAcTuRINc.--T NJ show unifiis- ktakably the importance of dcvoting more attention to cotton manufacturing
 at the South, it is only necessary to re- fer 10 the immense profitresuiting from the investment in cotton factories in Lowell. The aggregate capital invcs- ted gy her ten large companies is stated at S13,090,000.a The amount ofcotton
 consumed is one hundreda thousand bales the number of yards produced, cx3 lusivc of yarns, something over {,
 hundred milIions and the number of \ Operatives is twelve thousand. The operatives ai!e lnostly women and girls.
 It would rcdlil'c at least thirty tliou- sand field laborers, s1 raise this cotton.
 and yet 1t is converted into warns and
 cloths by twelve thousand op aiativcs.
 The process for misunderstanding the cvt-
 ton, about doubles it's vall,e. and The
 average dividends dcclarcd by these companies is thirty y-thrce per cent |,Wben we consider thc saving in freight.
 and the, advantage which the local buy
 CT has over the agent for distant cons
 panies, it is manifest that witllthc same
 ciliricnt management here Wiicl. charac- Etcrizcs the Lowell coinpaiies, a profit
 Of nearly fifty per cent, could be reaFiz-
 led hy the Investment. This leaves. out of view tho general advantages fcsul- :
 ting from such. .cntci.priscs--in
