NUMBER a.

Ben Butler is a child of perdition, bur
ryiug home He went into the war as he
used to defend clien:s in Lowell--to steal
from them. He never told the truth except
by accident. He never was true to any
friend. He never periled his life. the while
sending others to be buthered for his plum
ders. He is a convicted thief, robber and
woman insulter. He used the power and
protection of the government to rob. plum
der. insult terrify, ravish, imprison, con-
sternate, desolate and degrade those who
were cursed by his british presence. He
was disgrace to the army, as he is to hu-
manity. He is less honored than the mean
est petty thief in all the prisons Of the world.
He is a bigger coward than a sheap-stealing
dog. He is anything for money. He is
brute by instinct, beast by education,
rotton hearted, unprinCipled. people hating,
law breaking william, whose days are few in
the land cursed by his presence.
He would leave off insulting women at
chance to steel-he would leave off stealing
to insult defenccless woman. He is a
traitor at heart-a british bond holder, a
foul sore on the rump and still favorite
with the ranting, canting, loug-faced, whi-
ming, tallow- haired. hypocFitieal fanatics,
wallowing in the selfish. loathsome, unemp-
tied spittoon of New England Puritanism
This whelp of satan is one of the leaders
one of the prominent horns on the Altar of
the God and morality party to which they
cling as they in madness rush on to de-
struction."

Tie matter of home indusr ry is Of vital
importance to the people Of the South. We
must do everything in our power 20 foster
and encourage all and everything that IN
the least tends to a concentration of capital
and labor in our midst. and which seeks to
develope tie mechanical and agricultural
resources of our section.
The shade of difference in the prices Of
material produced at home should not be
of such moment as to cause total discon-
tinuanoe of patronage. all of which is in
favor of the foreign producer; but fair al
lowance should be made, and public spirit
enough evinced, as shall place our mechani-
cal abilities upon such footing that they
will be able to compete with outside CAPT
.tal and cheap labor. Itis but "a question of
ae, which liberality and enterprise will
soon accomplish.
To this end encourage your own work
shops-your own foundries-your own
mechanics-your own merchants. Neither
go abroad nor send abroad for what you can
have manufactured OF can purchase at home.
We ought not to purchase articles from out
side sources which can be produced in our
midst, merely because they are trihe
cheaper, but we should encourage our own
producers by patronage. We can neither
be great nor Independent until we are self
sustaining, and we ought to be willing to
pay for these blessings. They will come
with united effort on the part of our peo-
pie, and not Misunderstanding Herald

Manufacturing.

To show unmistakably the importance Of
devoting more attention to cotton manufac-
turing at the South, it is only necessary to
refer to the immense profit resulting from
the investment IN cotton factories in Lowell.
The aggregat capital invested by her ten
large companies is stated at $13, 600. 600.
The amount of cotton consumed is one hun
dred thousand bales; the number of yards
produced, exclusive of yarns. something
over a hundred millions; and the nun Der of
operatives is twelve thousand. The opera
tives are mostly women and girls. 1t woud
require at least thirty thousand field
laborers to raise this cotton. and yet it is
converted into yarns and cloths by twelve
thousand operatives.
The process for manufacturing the cot
ton, about doubles It's value. and the ayers
age dividends declared by these companies
is thirty-three per cent. When we con
slider the saving in freight, and the advant-
age which the local buyer has over the
agent for distant companies, it is manifest
that with the same efficient management
here which characterizes the Lowell COM
panies, profit of nearly fifty per cent. could
be realized on the investment. This leaves
out of view the general advantage resulting
from such enterprises-.increasing our Popu-
lation-erecting local markets, and diversi-
flying industrial pursuits.
1t is strange that the manufacturers of
Europe are not induced to transfer some of
their capital to the South. They would
thus outAaDk the tariff imposed for the bene-
fit of eastern manufacturers, and save the
immense amount expended on freights and
charges.

An Anxious Husband.

Ned Sawyer was practical joker, sell
Ter of dry goods, and seller of his ac-
quaintances-and many were the tricks he
played off on his friends. few of which they
were able to pay back Among his neigh
bors was a shrewd fellow, Jim Fisher, who
had been ''sold" number of times by Ned,
and vowed revenge.
One day, not long since, as Jim was sit
ting in the parlor of the City Hotel, he saw
Ned deposit his wife in the ''Chelsa Hour
ly," and bidding her good morning returned
to his store.
a bright idea had popped into his head and
said:
''I've got you now, old fell"
Jim watched the buss start with its pre-
cious burden, and in fifteen minutes was
vending his way up the street on which
Ned's store stood.
Seeing Ned standing in the door, he
hurried along, looking as anxious as posi-
ble
"HalIo. jim. hold on. said Ned, as his
"can't STOP" said Jim, nervously.
"Why?' asked Ned.
"I'm going to Uncle Jim's. The Chel-
sa omnibus has run off Charlestown bridge,
and his daughter was on board said Jim,
making as if be must be off.
''Chelsa omnibus off the bridge?' said
Ned, beginning to look pale.
eyes, L saw it."
"Heavens! my wife was on board!' said
Ned, turning about impatiently.
"Indeed! I'm very sorry" said jim;
"but excuse me-" and he started up the
street at rapid pace.
Ned jimped for his hat and the next mo-
ment was running in the direction of the
bridge, as fast as his prOpellors could car
ry him.
Putting like PorPoise, he reached the
bridge, and noticing group Of men, gaz-
ing in the water, hurried to the place.
'Where did the omnibus run off, ask
ed Ned, striving to conceal his anxiety.
"What omnibus?''
81 was told the Chelsea omnibus just
run off the bridge" replied Ned.
! The men stared a moment or two, and
! then o..e Of them smiling said:
at just passed, and must have gone of
at that end, q" pointing towards Charlestown.
A slight litter satisfied Ned that he had
been sold, and reeking with perspiration, he
made his way back to the store, where he
found Jim comfortably seated, perusing the
morning paper.
Ned began to swear. and was getting into
a passion, when Jim remarked:
''Iadmire your affection for your wife; and
be assured shall report to her the anxiety
shown by her loving lord for her welfare" )"
The Joke was soon known in the neigh
bornood. and Ned was bored to such an ex-
tent as to effectually cure him Of bis joking
propensities.

The following is an -xtract from letter
from New York, published in the Baltimore
Methodist of the 4th ult:
A Southern lady, on a visit to this city.
went to worship in one of the uptown
churches. Soon after an elegantly attired
New York lady, of high social standing,
entered the same pew and remained during
service; after which the Southern lady call
ed her aside into the vestry room, and, in
the presence of the rector, with whom she
was well acquainted, thus addressed her:
''Madam, do not wish to offend you,
but that shawl you are wearing belongs to
me-" (The shawl was superb one.
The New Yorker protested, and declared
that there must be some mistake.
off" says the Southern lady, "you will
examine certain corner, you will see my
initials worked in it, and the rector knows
my name very we'll"
The corner was found as well as the mi
tials. The Southern lady then remarked:
"That ring you have upon your finger is
also mine, and if you will take the trouble
to examine the interior you will see the
same initials engraved in the ring"
Similar movements as above described
took place, and with similar results.
Turning to her again, the Southern lady
said: Madame, that bracelet you have OF
is mine also, and by pressing a spring on
the inside it will unclasp and show you my
portrait
The New York lady did as requested,
and there was the lady's portrait. She
promptly returned the ring and bracelet as
she was convinced beyond the power to
controvert it, that they were the property oI
this Southern lady, and remarked as she
did SO:
They are yours, and you are welcome to
them, but as l wore the shawl to church, ]
must beg the privilege of wearing it home
again
The Southern lady acceded, of course
and they exchanged cards. The shaw
came back in due time, but the New Y orl
lady had probably obtained the articles II
