MANUFACTURING IN n. CAROLINA

We have frequently seen the statement, we
| mnst confess with no little surprise, that there
is at this time In process of erection in the State
OF Georgia, seventy-tgo mills for the manufac
tyre of cotton and WOODEN goods some of them
for cslicoes. This is an astonishing fact, but it
is the natural consequence of the events of the
last five or six years. So long as Southern
capital could control the labor of the country,
the cultivation Of cotton was the most profitable
investment, and to this almost the whole CAPT
tai of the Southern States was devoted to the
almost entire neglect Of verything else
Even now, we are lothe to abandon our habit

but the destruction of slavery has produced a
revolution in this respect, that makes it no Ion

Striking an antagonist "wben he is down, "

very mean business, and the principle applies
with force to the present eoudion of the country

tatingly violating these pledges, the Journal Of
Commerce says:

not pleasant sight to the world 1t does not
give to the world any exalted picture of Ameri-
can politics or even Of American civilization
There was never instance Of more absolute
submission than that of the South. The utterly
broken-down condition of the whole Southern
mind passes description.
The honorable course for the American peo-
pie, the course which would justify our claim

equivalent to saying to the world: we have

system, to govern themselves

IN WASHINGTON CITY.

This is wicked world, verify believe, and
FL am .confrned in that sage opinion byca scan
! dalous affair, which may refer to without aoy
violation of good taste, since the matter is one
of record.
Your readers will renenber that a year or
two ago there was a wedding here in hugh life
ESQ called). A young but prominent citizen of
Northern State, who counted his fortune by
millions, was the happy bridegroom, and the
daughter Of then cabinet minister was the
bride. Rare jewels, worth hundreds of thou
sands were lavished on the fair lady, and such
a wedding was never 10 the land since Commo-
dore Bartlett's daughter married the Cuban
negro Oviedo. Well, there have been many
rumors about the couple just named, aud the
air has been thick with scandalous rumors. Il
was known the husband was festive cuss, and
that his thousands were spent in riotous living
wine, cards and other etceteras But oaly
latterly did the wife seem to know or at least to
notice the delinquency of her lord, when it was
presented to her in such shape that there
could be no doubt of his infdelity. And so she
has brought action for divorce, and will of course
get swinging damages; both of which she is
entitled to, albeit the lacy herself is very gay.
The ease will create sensation when the names
are given to the public.
STOPPING to folly is common thing in this
world, especially in the hot-bed of corruption.
sad case has just been made known. where a
young woman belonging to the most aristocratic
circle of the Federal city has gone astray. She
had not even been suspected until few days
ago, when her prolonged absence in New York,
where she had gone on visit, led to esqury,
and her parents to their horror ascertained she
had voluntarily become the inmate Of fashion
able brothel. No cause, other than that innate
wickedness which the devil sometimes implants
into poor, weak human nature, is assigned for
the conduct of the woman who thus recklessly
brings shame on the honored name of her fam
