MANUFACTURERS AT TIE South
People everywhere are beginning to
opeu their ewes to the marvellous advan-
tases which this Southern land of ours
possesses as manufacturing region
The contrast between the doleful talk OF
the New England mill owners and the
cheerful reports from the cotton iacto-
ries of South Carolina, Georgia and
other Southern States, is too marked to
long escape the keen sighted capitalists
of theNorth. A Massachusetts, mauufac-
turer has recently declared that it cost
sixteen cents to manufacture fabrics
which would not bring in market more
than fifteen cents per yard. Whether
this be true or not, certain it is that either
because of real loss, or in order to Sc
cure high protective tariff on foreign
goods, the whole Yankee manufacturing
Interest is just now making particularly
wry faces. Formerly, as is we'll known,
the profits Of cotton manufacture were
very great, and it may now be that the
complaint is owing to rather reduction Of
these large..dividends than to the alleged
total deprivation ofprofts. In any event
however, it is gratifying to know that
the depression, real or affected, which
prevails in New England, is not felt il
any degree by our own mills, and that
even recently established cotton facto-
ries in the cotton producing region are
paying quarterly dividends of five per
cent. upon initial experiments. New
England manufacturers must look in it
or their occupriiou will soon be gone
They must choose between contentlng
themselves with smaller profits trans
ferriug their mills Southwark, or turn
ing their capital into other avenues. In a
few years the people of the entire South
will be supplied with cotton fabrics
manufactured where the cotton grown,
possibly Southern mills may find large
market also in the North for their goods.
In the face Of the united opposition of
the great West, and of South steadily
and surely increasing in wealth and
power, the industrial kings" Down
East cannot hope much longer to boil
ster up by special legislation, at the
expense Of consumers, the consumers,
the pleasant monopoly which has SO
long kept them sleek and fat.

A New PHASE OF SOUTHERN Poll

his opinion, is destined to rule the
Southern States. We quote:
"These are mostly young men and
the events of the day are giving them a.

ness of secession, on the beauty OF State
sovereignty and 'what the war was for'

WELL SAID.-The Augusta Chron'-
Gle and iScntinel speaks thus: "Since
the reconstruction of South Carolina
and the establishment Of negro govern
ment, the white people Of Edgefeld
County, though all of them ardent De-
mocrats, and, as such, bitterly opposed
to the possession of the State being
turned over to race of Ignorant ne
groes and a few Infamous carpet-baggars
and scalawags, have been among the
most law-abiding citizens of the State.
Teough nearly all of the younger men
of the County were in the Confederate
army--wherc many of their number
were slain-and were not disposed to
look very kindly upon the new order of
things, yet, restrained by the example
and advice of such men as Bonham,
Gary, and Butler who were their Cen
erals during the war, they have careful
ly refrained from doing anything which
would give to their enemies a prctext
to oppress them. But it appears that
their good conduct has been of no avail
and that the miserable tyrant, Scott,
and his underlings have have determin-
ed to drive them to desperation"

FOURTEEN YEARsAsLEEp-MissSu- Su-
san Caroline Godsey, tho sloepingswen-
der, died at her mothers home some
eight miles from Hickman, on Wcdncs-
day. the l4th inst. .'' - Z =,
The history;of Miss Godsey is we'll
known to the public, astatementsof her
wonderful condition having bcenrppb-
.lished extensively ty. the press Of the
United States. At the time Of her
death Miss Godscy was about 26 years
of age, end had been asleep, as described
about fvurteen years The existence
of this wonderful. case of coma, or pre-
ternatural disposition to sleep, has been
doubted by many, bus tho factris indIs-
putable. Indeed, some rwetvg months
ago, Miss Goisey was takento NASH
Vile and other places for exhibition, but
We understand many even Of the ply
siciaus Of Nashville looked upon the
case with suspicion.
The history of the case is, briefly -
Wien about twelve ycarsof ageshe,8as
taken with severe chill, and treated
accordingly by her physician. AS hs the
fever which followed her chill subsided,
she fell in deep sleep, IN which condi-
ton she has remained ever since, ex-
cept at intervals. 1t was her custom
at first to awake regularly every TWEEN
ty-four hours, and singularly, within ina a
few minutes oftho same hours each day;
but of latter years she awokc oftener, so
much that many considered it an indi.
cation of her ssianlrecovcry. She would
remain awake five, ten, or perhaps iii.
teen minutes, end gradually drop of to
sleep again. When asleep it was utter
ly impossible TO arouse her. She never
complained of any bodily pain, though
when asleep she was very nervous %
at times, and appeared to suffer consfd, ea SD;
erably by the violent twitchiog and
Jerking of her muscles and limbs, and
her hands clsnched tightly as if endur-
ing severe pain, but when awake she
did not appear to suffer except from >
drowsy, gasping inclination, and per.
sister effort to cleanse her throat from
phlegm. She generally passed into
sleep through violent paroxysms, which
wo.ld last perhaps five minutes, and
she would then sleep awhile as>ealmly
and quietly as an infant. Miss Godsey
was of medium size, and her limbs aud
muscles were well proportio ned and de-
veloped, and grew considerably after
her affiiction. r.c2

we give as related for what it is worth:
She said "the sun would be a total
eclipse on the 7th of August" (this is
remarkable, because parties assert that
she could lave had no knowledge that
this was according to calculation, "and
that the sun would never shine as bright
after that day. That this would be an
indication that the end Of the world was
speedily approaching"

Governor Sharkey, Of Mississippi,
says Washington despatch to the New
York Hcral1, arrived here yesterday
He is very sanguine of the success OF
conservative ticket at the approaching
election in that State. Jude Dent, he
says, will undoubtedly receive the noml-
nation for Governor from the conserVa-
tive convention, which it is expected
will meet in September. 1t is thought
the radicals will nomina'e James l.. Al
corn, native Mississippian, who form
ly represented the State in the United
States Senate. Sharkey, who is regard
ed as an extreme man of the State
rights school, says the people of Mis-
sissippi are anxious TO get back into
the Union, and although under cir
cumstances they would not, perhaps,
take Republican like Judge Dent, yet
they are compelled to choose between a
moderate man like him and the ex-
treme radicals, and of the two evils they
think will take the least. The hlissis-
sippi politicians, of whom Governor
Sharkcy is type, have concluded that
it is wise policy for them to follow the
example Of Virginia, and not only get
into the Union, but obtain control of
their own State affairs. The Govcnor
thinks the Mississippi negroes will vote
the conservative ticket in about the
sauie proportion rs they did in Virginia.

GEN. GRANT A RADicAL.-Wa
ing, July 30.-Among the visitors at
the White House to-day was gentle
man who, in conversation with the
President, broached on tine subject OF
politics in Mississippi and the Dent
movement in that State. The Presi-
dent was reminded of the conflicting
reports in relation to his feelings and
views upon that question, and that it was
asserted that he had already given his
adhesion to Judge Dent. The Prcsi-
dent replied to his official visitor, who
is my informant, substantially that the
patronage Of the Administration would
not be cast in favor of Judge Dent, as
the party that supported him was mimi
cal to the Republican party of the eoun-
try. e.f = -. .ae
Ia the course Of convcrsationthe Pre-
sideut took occasion to express regret
that so many good Republicans were
found acting with men who he believed
failed to give a genuine and hearty sup
port to the Republican party and the
measures of the Administration. He
does not believe there is any issue in
Mississippi which should cause divi-
sion in the Republican ranks in that
State, and as between the party sup
porting Judge Dent and his opponents
be favors the latter as being the true
representatives ofthc principles of bis
administration.
The President also talked very freely
upon Virginia politics. He seems sat
isticd with Colonel Walkers election
and has confidence in his integrity. He
thinks, also, there is fair prospect oil
the union of the Wells and Walker
elements, and has no doubt of the
thorough reconstruction Of the State
1t is inferred from what was said that
the Administration is on tue side OF
Stokes in Tennessee and Davis in Texas,
and that when Secretary Boutwell,
wrote the letter to Stokes, which has
been 80 much commented on, he sim
ply reflected the views Of the Aministra'

COUNTERFEIT TEN-DOLLAR NOTES.
The new counterfeit ten dollar bills
which have created so great an excite
mcnt among the bankers and United
States treasurers, it is said, are he finest
executed counterfcits ever thrown upon
community. A description Of the
counterfeit from Washington says,
"At fist glance they seem to be a
perfect imitation of the ten dollar green
back, and the printing seems to have
been done from the original plate, but
there are points of difference which are
thus noted: In the original the shading
around the ten in medallion appears
like a fine network, and runs close up
to the figures. In the counterfeit note
this shading is picked up and becomes
coarse as it reaches the figures, forming
light streak of circular haze similar
to that about the moon before rain
There is no haze in the genuine note.
This is a slight point for detection. A
clearer one is the fact that in the origi.
nal notes within the light circle run
mining under the figures 10, there are
three and third dots on the left Of the
6gure-l. In the counterfeit billthe one.
third dot is missing. But an infalliblc
mark of distinction is found under the
left wing of the eagle. In the genuine
notes are fur distinct rows Of feathers
under the wing. In the counterfeits
there rows of feathers are underlined,
and this seems to be the only weak spot
in the whole engraving"

Prison PoLIcY.-The number of
commitments to prisons in the city Of
New York for the year-lS6srBas 49,

lation of Richmond. This is terrible
story. The New York Tribune wants
to know "what shall-wedo With our
criminals 2" This is a; question that
perplexes the philanthropists very much.
1t is difficult to say where the; policy Of
punishment should be relaxed, and how
far that Of igentleness, the appealing to
the personal pride Of the ctshould
be carried, The Tribune. wants to
make criminals very comfortable. There
is danger in this that rosues and scarps
generally might rather seek place in
well kept prison than work for aliyeli-
hood. 1t has beena weil-followcd custom
amongst abandoned scampsin some To-
calities to "rusticate," as they called it,
during the summer, and contrive to get
into prison during the winter bya lar
ceny or some punishubls offence. The
whipping post, in our opinion, was a
good institution. Its abolition has
helped amazingly to fill up the jails.--
Many rogue would work and lead
steady life rathcrtban take whipping,
while he would commit a.crime to- get
the good lodgings and fare; which the
philanthropists are daily making better.
Criminals are criminals. The law
should deal gently with young ones; ;
but old and hardened sinners are great
deceiycrs. .a.eg1
The just ground of treatment hes
between the two extremes-neither too
severe nor too gentle. The prisons are
fast becoming delightful places of re-
treat; aud no wonder the number of
