The CorroE FAcroRY AT CLINToN.-We
are reioiced to learn from our Clinton ex-
changes that a company, for the estao'
Iishmeut of a cotton factory has been or
gained in that pretty little city. From
what we know personally, ard By repu-
tation. Of the citizens Of East FeIiciana,
we see nothing IN the way OF It's ultl-
mate success. It is a pleasure in those
days Of Southern prostration. to witness
any attempt that promises a help tor the
future. This is the only way to render
the South independent Of the North
Factories are what we want now, and
really should have had before the war.
Had this important fact been properly ap-
preciated here ia the South, and acted
upon with firmness aud dispatch, no war
would ever have desolated our fair fields
and plantations. We could, and would
have held the reius of power, which
would have said to the arrogant North,
" thus far shalt thou go and no farther"
1t is late to begin, but not too Late
When we begin to manufacture at home
all that we require for consumption or
use, we will bold the destinies Of our sec
ton in our own hands. Had this been
attended to before, far different would be
onr situation.
The people Of Clinton have entered iu-
to this enterprise with a spirit hopeful
for the future. They seem to understand
and appreciate the condition into which
we have been thrown by our own negli-
gence and want of foresight. A cotton
factory in their midst will be productive
Of such benefits as to amply compensate
for all labor and outlay. They intend to
work up their cottons at home, thus av.
ing the outlay consequent upon
sending them North. They will econo-
mise in freights, insurance, storage, and
the Government tax by doing the work
at home. This is u great desideratum,
but there is one greater that Of employ
ing home people to do the work. This,
Of course, is added to the cheapness Of
home fabrics. Thousands of snchs factor
les should spring up all over the South,
not alone for cotton, but for all that W.
require in the pursuit Of our several avo-
cations. We look upon the establish
ment Of the Clinton cotton factory as a
harbinger OF good--as a beacon light in
the midst Of the general apathy, and as a
haven of prosperity which all may en-
ter. Speed the day when we can chroni.
Gle thousands Of sueA all over Southern
territory, where the sturdy sons of toll,
OF our W people, can raise their brawnv
arms IN the production Of all that we
require, whether from the plow, the loom
or the anvil. Our destiny is before us,
though shrouded in clouds and darkness,
but the rays of a better day are yet in
store when we can throw the shack
les imposed upon US by the cold
man Of the Sea- Of the North aside for
ever. Again, we congratulate our Gin
ton friends upon their energy 10 this mat
ter and hope the contemplated factory
may be but the precursor of many in
that beautiful section of. our beloved
State. Let others follow the example,
None will suffer by it, bu. all vii, be ben
