State, mammoth building is to be
erected for the manufacturing of cot
ton and woolen goods, while Char
lotte is now producing cloths and
cassimeres of superb quality. This
latter mill alone runs $4,000 spindles,
and consumes about 5000 pounds of
wool weekly. Mississippi and Ala
bama are working out the problem
of their Independence; while Georgia,
our own scourged State, sends out q
loud amen from seventy five mills in
operation and twelve i'll process of
execution. OF these latter some are
projected on-a scale to rival the noto-
rious Lowell, or the pretentious es-
tablishment Of the learned Senator
Sprague. Three miles from Coving-
ton, and but sixty from this office,
has grown up since the war the viii
lage of Steadman. Under the magic
touch of its founder, Mr.. L. Stead
man, mills for the fabrications of
prints, woolen goods, homespun and
yarns are rapidly rising, and will
soon supply demand which has
filled heretofore the pocket of our
ne" England tax assessors.
In the midst of al our political
gloom and poverty, this statement,
which is doubtless correct, is well
calculated TO gladden. and cheer the
heart of every true Southcrner, and
to inspire hope for prosperous fu-
ture. If there be no hating in tie
career thus so promptly and success
fully commenced, and there be no
further obstacles thrown in the way
of Southern industry-and God
knows there are enough already-the
looms and spindles of the Southern
States will soon be driving business
that will compete with, if not super
cede, the prosperity Of the moneyed
lords of the New England factories.

RAISING THE Dust. The Montgo-
merry Adce1tise,' gives the following
as one of the ways now much in
vogue of raising current funds:
\ well-dressed sharper suddenly
makes his appearance before two or
three of the descendants Of Ham,
and very pleasantly inquiries: "Can
either OF you gentlemen give me change
for this $40 bill" Cuffee, highly
elated at the flattering epithet applied
to him, very eagerly produces the re-
quired change, when the sharper
seizes the whole amount, and, with
out giving up MS own bill, bolts
around the corner as quick as light
ming flash, leaving his sable friend
the very image Of despair This little
dodge has been practiced by one man
at least, just once too often, and the
result Of his speculation is, that he is
an unwilling guest of the city.

MuITARY.-We find the following.

MLrrAEY-W find the following
an extract, we presume, from a mill
tary order-in the Charlotte Guar
Ii,ua:
''The civil authorities Of North Ca
rolina and South Carolina being
unable to dispcrse or capture the
bands of outlaws calling themselves
Regulators, who are reported as en-
gagged in robbing and numbering
freedmen, and in committing depre-
dations and outrages upon the per-
sons and property of well-disposed
citizens, all commanding officers of
posts within this department are di-
rected to use every means at their
disposal to rid the country Of these
banditti. Whenever reports of out
RACES are received, parties will be
sent in pursuit. Of these Regulators,
and when resistance to arrest is made
they will be treated as 'guerillas,
and summarily punished. All pri-
soners so arrested will be held in mi

Emigration to Brazil.

Much has been written and said
both in favor of and against the
Southern people emigrating to Brazil.
1t may be that, under the increasing
political pressure, some may be
tempted to quit the land of their
fathers, and we therefore quote the
following from Rio Janeiro letter in
the New York Tri5uae which is GER
tainly not very encouraging:
'Can my voice avail to warn honest
American mechanics and laborers
against blind emigration to Brazil?
Each steamer brings from 100 to 800
deceived men and women, the greater
part Of whom are miserable and beg
ging for help in less than two days.
There is room for associated labor-a
colony will do well here, if judi
ciously managed. But the solitary
mechanic or laborer, whatever his
skill may be, cannot, so long as he is
Ia stranger, compete with the cheap
slaves and cheaper workingmen who
do the shabby work of Brazilian
trades. I have seen many weeping
wives and mothers, and gloomy men,
dragging through these streets, ap-
pealing piteously to every American
passer-by for work, and telling the
same tale of disappointed expecta-
tions. Our Consul is over-run by
them. Every American store is full
of them. They enlist on our men
of-war as landsmen and boys-good,
skillful mechanics serving for the
plttance, pay and rations of navy
green-horns, For organized emigra
ton, [ repeat, Brazil offers many in
ducements. But any poor man is
wretchedly fooled who leaves the
States, expecting to do better on his
own hook in Brazil. Use this testi-
mony as you will, for am grieved to
see SO much disappointment and suf-
fering."

Du Chaillu, the eminent savan and
traveller, is coming to America next
month upon a leeturing tour. We
believe he claims to huve found men
with tails, somewhere in Africa. If
the eminent savan, upon his arrival,
will take look in upon the menage-
rle at Washington, he will find not
men with tails, but two-legged ami
mails without heads.
The West Virginia Legislature is
considering the propriety of requir-
ing all editors to take the oath. Don't
put any superhuous laws on your
statnte books, gentlemen. If the
duties of his profession don't make
an editor swear, laws will be power
less.
There were recently counted in the
"old Bowery Theatre, Of New York,
700 boys, of ten or twelve years of
age, ragged, verminious, dirty, shock
headed, without proper clothing.
The next generation of voters in that

Of the present one.

its costing them anything. There

from the present political condition of

"The political aspect warrants the
expectation that we shall have year
or more of commercial gloom, de

will, as all should, take warning and
be setting their houses in order.
They are now at the mercy Of men
