Our CTTY.-Alth0ugh labOling under the de-
pressing spirit Of dulness at present. there u.s. in
our opinion, far happier future in store for Will
nirGtOn commercial city ana market, if our
merchants and the sc.eTal Railroad Companies
Will hut work together. BY bcEefittinS the place,
and using all their energies to promote the gene
raj good they will but advance their veral ends
and reap all the advantages accruing from the
business Of prosperous and 1lourishiHg city
But for the want Of capital much could now be
cOmplishod, but energy will find means to attain
its ends, and when assisted by determination
becomes almost irresistible.
Upon the completion Of the Wilmington, Char
otte and Rutherford and the Western Railroads,
the future prosperity of Wilmington is almost
entirely dependent. \ country abounding in the
wealth of mineral resources and agricultural pro-
duets, will then be spread before us, and those
sections which have heretofore remained closed to
the merchants of city will be opened, and,
embraced by the long arms of those Railroads,
will pour its treasures into the lap of our mar
kct
1t is important that we should have connection
with the North by means Of the Wilmington and
Weldon Railroad, and access tD the fertile regions
of South Carolina by the Wilmington and Manches-
ter Railroad but it is doubly important that the
Roads ntersecting the rich districts of the nteri-
or of our State, should be constructed and
Wilmington placed in position to reap all the ad
vartages which would accrue in this event. The
place would then be increased to two, aye, even
three fold it's present wealth and Importance, and
for the same harbor advantages, have no superior
among the cities of the South.
It is matter of State pride that 80 important q
commercial city within its borders should derive
advantage from the productions of our soil in
stead of seeing port of a neighboring State
enriched, because of the want of fac les of trans
portation in the right direction.
We trust to see this end achieved, and our city
placed in that position she is entitled to, and to
which she should attain.
FAsHIONs.-We have sometimes been led almos t
to imagne that the "good old days Of Queen
Bess'' had returned gain, but certain it is that
the fashions of that period have been in part re-
vved. The stately form of the Virgin Queen
bedecked with rut1es and with head decorated
with dress Of hair and ornaments, furnished by
the de tlers in fashions, called to mind by the
appearance of some Young Misses of the present
dav who appear TO be as ardent followers of the
whimsical goddess ever was fair lady in the
majestic air to the appearance, the hair secured
in one tremendous crown upon the back of the
head, rendering the face small by the contrast,
are not wanting, and even the absence Of hoops is
lot forgotten, all combining to present to the
public a feature in the progress of fashions
palmed upon them something new, but, in many
r. spccs, but repetition of what seemed perfectly
natural in ages that are past.

of at least fonr thousand females, and do it
a great deal better. Here we could have
stood for hours, but our guide beckoned us
to return and examine the motive power
which moves this vast quantity of machln-
cry. 10 dc this, we had to descend to the
ground floor and were taken into the eng zine
and boiler rooms
The Engine works as beautifully as any
we ever saw, and looks almost as bright as
when it was pronounced complete by
the maker. The boiler is certainly curl
oslty, 1t being composed of a succession of
cast iron globes, each of which holds about
one gallon of water, and each globe is wrapt
in fiery flames, thus giving more heat and
generating steam faster than the old style
boiler. This boiler, of one hundred horse
capacity, furnishes the steam for the En-
glne, for the dye watts, for the dry room,
and for heating the entire building. No
fire is allowed inside, and the heating ar
rangement is certainly very perfect. There
IS also pump constantly at work while the
Engine is in motion, which throws water
into all the rooms of the Factory, thus sup
plying the operatives with water to drink
and also a safeguard in case of accident by
lire. We have never spent an hour more
profitably than we did in looking through
this magnificent establishment.
The establishment works about ninety
hands, and gives support to not less than
two hundred and fifty persons, all of whom
are dependent upon the success of the
Company for subsistence. It is managed
by Gen. John A. Young as President, and
James Earnshaw, superintendent Gen.
Young has been closely identified with the
manufacture Of wooden goods for the last
eighteen years indeed he is one of the
original founders of Crock Island,' and
We may say the father of the enterprise
AS for Mr., Earnshaw, his labors speak for
themselves. Who can look at those beau
tiful Cassimeres and not see that master
mind has been employed there ?
The present proprietors of the Factory
are j. A. Young, M. L. Wriston, John
Wilkes and James Earnshaw. The two
former have been connected with Rock Is
land Factory for y or Is years.
In concluding this article we must urge
upon the people of the South the great ne
cesssity OF supporting enterprises Of this
hlnd. There are numbers of them. We
must encourage our capitalists to invest
their surplus means in manufacturing, and
let us learn lesson from the Yankees
Look at their manufacturing towns and
villages the capital invested, and the profits
they are realizing off our people. Why
not keep it at home ? Look to it, that our
only salvation is in our sustaining each
other and keeping our capital at home.

M. KcIIev,s BIII.

The bill introduced into the House by Mr..
Kelley, of Pa, to enforce the constitutional
guarantee that the States shall have republi-
can (State) governments, is now rapidly
growing into favor among the members.
The point aimed at by Judge K. is to pro-
vide that hereafter Congress shall be requir-
ed to sanction any changes made in State
constitutions. The disposition manifested
by the convention now in session at Annap-
oils to put upon Maryland, by the action of
a body of men throughly devoted to the ideas
and principles on which it was recently at
tempted to subvert the Union, new Cons
titution based upon the doctrines of John
G. Calhoun, purer and simple, is at the bot
tom of this growing Congressional disposi-.
tion to enforce the provision Constitution OF
the United States giving the guarantee re-
ferred to above.
To secure the adoption of the Calhoun
Constitution they are now framing, the An
napolis Convention propose to deprive the
Whites of the counties of the State where
slavery was formerly comparatively weak,
of their coequality with the whites of the
former heavy saveholdidg counties, and to
make the blacks s'chattels' in every respect
but that of being owned by individual per
sons. Congress- viewing both Of these
propositions as being signally anti-Republi'
can, are rapidly coming to the conclusion
| that it will be necessary promptly to pas

General Grant ON stanberry.

Among the recently published correspon-
dence between General Grant and the dis
trict commanders in The South, is letter
sent by the former to General Ord, on the
2sd of June. 1t will be seen that his opin-
ions differ very materially from those of
Stanberry, while they agree with the ideas
of the loyal people:-
GENERAL. Copy of your final instructions
to board of registration, Of Junesl0, 1867. is
just received. entirely dissent from the
views contained in paragraph 4. Your
views as to the duties Of registers to register
every man who will take the required oath,
though they may know the applicant per-
lures himself, is sustained by the views of
the Attorney General. My opinion is, that
it is the duty of the board of registration to
see, as far as it lies in their power, that no
unauthorized person is allowed to register.
To secure this end, registers should be al
lowed to administer oaths and examine wit
nesses. The law, however, makes district
commanders their own Interpreters of their
power and duty under it, and, in my opin-
ion, the Attorney General or myself can no
more than give our opinion as to the mean
ing of the law. Neither can enforce their
views against the Judgment of those made
responsible for the faithful execution of the
law-the district commanders
Very respectfully your obedient servant,
