Manufnctorfes.

We have frequently alluded to the fact
that by the early erection and operation of
manufactures in the South, this section
would not only enrich herself, but save the
large amounts we are now paying into the
treasures of Northern manufactures, in
creasing their wealth, and providing for our
own continued dependence upon them The
great wants of the South to establish man
ufactories are capital and skilled labor, and
the want of population and the languish-
ing condition of the agricultural interests
must necessarily, for the present, limit the
number of manufactures required to sup
ply the demand upon them.
But that our people are turning their at
tentlon to this important matter we are glad
A few days since unpublished an account of
the organization of q Manufacturing Com
pany In Raleigh, and we are glad to see
that the enterprising President of the Com
pany, Mr.. Willard, has already provided
the necessary machinery, and we may ex-
pect to learn of its early completion, and if
the same enterprise and industry character
lie its operation as is exhibited in its con-
struction, there can be no doubt Of its sue
cess. In Mississippi capital is rapidly seek
ing investment in cotton factories. Six
factories for manufacturing the great
Southern staple are in the course of con-
structlon, which will give that State good
start in the way of manufacturing its own
raw material.
The disposition of Congress TO protect
the manufacturing interest of the United
States, which causes high prices and large
dividends, will force our people to try to be
the recipient of this protection. rather than
continue to be oppressed by it. "Protec-

The case was one involving the legality OF the ju-

against Jonathan Smith and issued an execution
to enforce the judgment. His . othcers found

Reed had received so little encouragement from
the loval fraternity that he attempted no defence
whatever. Judgment was rendered against him

This default may be considered as confession
by the Frcedmen's Bureau that the attempt OF the

PHEM1E KEILER-F. G. Traford-Harper
and Brothers, New York
Mr.. Trafford, in this last work of his,
has treated us to an old fashioned English
novel, full of the pleasant varieties of Eng
lish rural life, with characters as new as
they are well studied and naturally por-
trayed. It is one of the most readable
and entertaining Of the recent publications
in this line of literature.
LAND AT LAsT-Edmond Yates-Harper
and Brothers, New York.
In the volume before us, the author has
surpassed any of his former efforts in por-
traying the vicissitudes and temptations of
city life. The scene of the present work
is laid in London, and the society of that
gay metropolis forms the ground work of the
novel, and we doubt if even this prolific
and interesting subject has ever furnished
the plot or characters of more entertain
ing volume.
Mr.. Whitaker, with his characteristic
kindness, has furnished us with the above
new novels, where all of the recent publ
cations will be found as soon as issued.
