THE HALLToWN MILLS.

We learn that negotiations for the sale OF
this valuable property have been In progress
for some time and that the terms have been
agreed upon between the parties Interested
The purchasers are the Messrs. EYsTER, OF
yChambersburg, and Mr.. JOHN P. STR1DER,
of this county The gentlemen from Penn
sylvania have been successfully engaged, for
many years, in the manufacture of paper near
'Chambersbure, and therefore bring with them
to their new field of enterprise thorough
knowledge of the business in which they
propose TO engage here. The sum paid for
the Mills, we understand, was S25,OO0. 1t
is the intention of the purchasers, during the
summer, TO erect all the necessary buildings
and introduce all the machinery required to
operate frst-ciass paper mill.
The importance of this investment to the
people of the county cannot be too highly es-
timated A market. at good prices, will at
once be created for an article (straw) OF here
tofore comparatively lttle value; labor to the
extent of from thirty fifty hands will be
constantly needed, whilst the large daily out
lay for the current expenses of such an estab-
lishment cannot be otherwise than greatly
beneficial to the community.
We are glad that the attention Of manufac-
turers has, ut length, been drawn to the great
natural advantages possessed by this county
for the engagement of manufacturing indus
try; and it gives US great pleasure to welcome
to our midst the Messrs. Eyster who have
been among the first to appreciate and appro>
pirate those advantages.

EMERGING.

Judging from reports in the Southern
press" says Northern exchange, "the busl-
ness men of that section are gradually emerg-
from the financial slough in which the late
war placed them. The cotton and woollen
trade-that is the manufacture of sheeting,
muslin and cloths especially brisk. In
South Carolina there are eleven mills in ope-
ration, running twenty-seven thousand two
hundred spindies and niue hundred and nine
ty-six looms; the largest one, the Kama
Mills, having ten thousand sllndles aud six
hundred looms, anu the smallest one, the VAL
ley Falls Factory, having five hundred spin
dies. Six hundred thousand dollars worth
of manufacturing stock has been subscribed
for cotton mill ut Columbus, Georgia, and
seventy-on others are in process Of erection
at Savannah and other points in the State,
for the manufacture OF cotton and wOollen
goods. One factory at Augusta has a capital
of six hundred thousand dollars, and last year
turned out nearly six and half million yards
of cloth. The Arizona Cotton Factory, es
tablished in Cla borne Parish. Louisiana, since
the war, is now paying a nUt profit OF twenty
four per cent per annum

WON'T BE BOUGHT.

General GEORGE H. THOMAS, of the Uni
ted States Army, is a Virginian by birth, and
seems not to have forgotten the spit from
which he was dug" although he turned
against his mother State and fought in the
Union army during the war. Some super
loyal patriots, who envy tho political sue
cess of the wealthy aristocrats who contribu-
ted to the Golfers of the modern Ulysses, re-
Gently attempted to bride Gen. Thomas by
the tender of house, which he honorably
declined, stating that he had determined to
receive no gifts, and that he had enough for
himself and family. The manliness of this
reply, has elected the commentator of oven
portion of the Radical press, as may be seen
by the following from the St. Louis Democrat:
sNot for the first time, General Thomas re-
fuses to accept gifts. Men offered fine house
to him, as they do to other great soldiers
But Thomas sturdily refused to compromise
his independence by accepting, and reminded
the nation of sacred debt when he said If
there is any surplus money to be given to any
body, let it be given to the wives and children
of the fallen heroes There is grandeur
and mauliness in his behavior which remind
US of the stern patriotism OF the purer days
of Rome. In these latter times, when men
deem it no discredit to turn fame and graft
tude into money it is as rare as pleasing to see
such an illustration of the noblest virtues
81 have enough for myself and family" says
the General. How many men are contented
with enough-and proud name How many
feel that the love and gratitude of great
people are more precious than wealth, and
that the soldiers heroism can never be re-
warded by his country with gold All honor
to Thomas, nobest Roman of them all -

GRANTS ADMINISTRATION.

The New York Herald sums up the Grant
administration in the following language =
''fn the third month of an administration with
four years before it for the development of
policy, if but little is promised but little can
be reasonably expected. The promise how
ever, upon one manifest deficiency is not en-
couraging. We refer to the deficiency in the
administration in the sagacity to grasp, and
the energy for decisive action, demanded by
the crisis in reference to our domestic and
foreign affairs. We must have retrcnchmcnt
and reform grand scale in our domestic
affairs, or vigorous foreign policy of expau
sion from this administration, or in the cleo
tons for the next the short method of remov-
ing our present burden of taxes and debt will
work another political revolution. How i'm
portant then the question, Will this admins
tratiou be a failure 2"

coMMBRoIAL CONVENTION.

A commercial convention was held in Mem
phis last week, which was attended by nearly
eight hundred delegates from the different
States of the South and West. The specific
objects of the convention are not stated, but
are presumed to have reference to the COM
mercial and financial independence of tho
States represented. On the second day, Sem
ator sprague, of Rhode Island, who seems
ambitious of assuming the position of grand
reformer, addressed the members of the con-
vention. dwelling particularly upon the per-
nicious effects of the centralization of money
power as it is in New York, and taking strong
ground against free trade, showing that by the
combination England and France had formed
for the culture of cotton in Egypt they would
eventually drive it from America unless
means were taken to reform aud cheaper
labor at the South. His remarks were lis
tened to with eagerness, and were we'll re-
ceived.
During the sitting of the convention, the
following letter was read from General Il. r

when sentence was passed on Charles Pin
kett, negro, for house breaking and attemnt

anything to say why sentence should not be

ing this old man of fifty years stood before rs
convicted of one of the highest crimes known
to the Jaw, we could but feel for him touch
of sympathy, as in the childlike simplicity
and confidence of his race, he WANTED to
send for his young master" Overtakeu in
his crimes. with the stern hand of violated
justice resting upon him, he forgot the pre-
tended friendship of the carpet Dagger and
the scalawag-whose poisonous TEACHINGS had
probably allured him to the commission of
the deed wherewith he stood charged-and

ON THE INCREASE.

Instead of diminishing. the rational debt
of the country continues to increase, and
doubtless will continue to do so. until repu-
dation becomes necessary. The quarterly
report for the quarter ending on the 31st of
March, showssthat the government receipts
from all sources amounted to S139, 17S, 654.-
o. "ol the expenditures during the same
period were s157,773, 362.67. Here then in
one si".:in quarter is gap of nearly tce"ty

ent receipts were at the rate of nearly

ACTION OF THE EXECUTIVE.

President GRANT has bestowed upon the
profigate and unprincipled SIcKLEs, the ap-
pointment of Minister to Spain, position for
which he is totally untitled. 1t is said that
this appointment was not made without deter
mined opposition from several members of
the Cabinet, who have not yet sunk to such
depths of degradation as to desire an assassin
to represent them at European court.
The president has also issued proclamation
directing that in accordance with the act of
Congress eight hours shall constitute days
work for all laborers, mechanics and workmen
employed by or for the Government, and that
no reduction of wages shall be made on that
account.

The FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT IN IN
D1ANA.-The Administration politicians are
much elated over the so>called ratification of
the fifteenth amendment by Indiana. The
ruling of Radical officers in favor ofthe amend
ment, when no quorum was present, is in true
revolutionary congeniality with the spirit of
the party leaders. That such ratification
will stand ultimately no one pretends; but the
affair is hailed as being on par with the COM
pulsory adoption of this and the fourteenth
and thirteenth amendments by the southern
States under duress That Indiana in her
next Legislature will rescind this ratifca-
ton is admitted, and it is certain that the
Secretary of State will never proclaim this
action of less than quorum of the Indiana
Legislature ratifcatiou.-W World.
