Union. Those difficulties out Of the
way, what is there to hinder enterprise
and capital from coming here to start
great manufacturing establishments?
Dur business men may do much TO in

work up the bulk Of the cotton made IN
our sister States Of the South.

into the amount of Southern raw matte

and ahoald be manufactured in the
South. At presens We are constrained
to pass it oyer.
Hut we cannot lorbear slancing at
the statistics of cotton goods produced in
the United States during the year end
ing June /. 1860,
The value OF he products Of the New
England States in cotton goods was
S79,a59,0o0,
The value Of the same in the Mid
die States was $40 ,5s4,7oo.
The ralne Of the Same in the Western
States was 81 ,642,107.
The value Of the same in all the
eleven States OF the Sonth was $780,
Q67, The total value Of cotton goods
manufactured in the United States n
tbat year being Sl15,6s1.774. OF this
amount the eleven States OF the South
exhibitoaly Ss,o00,o0O in round num-
bera. OF these $8,000,000, Virginia
showed only $1,489,971.
Until the bulk of these goods are
manufactured at the South, an unnatur-
al condition OF trade will exist. If Vir-
ginia could turn out cotton manufactures
10 tle value of million and g half in
1860, Why can we not lake courage in
the new order Of things that is about to
set in, and resolve to aim higher, and
not rest unsil we get the lions share of
the cotton manufacturing of the South?

CGNNIDING A PREACHER.

There was preaching at the jackson
Street charch for coIored people on
Wednesday night. The Reverend
Brother Sneethan offici ated. he took
his text from the Holy Scriptures, but
preached his sermon from what he pro-
nounced the nnholy character Of two
blooming daughters Of his flouyishing
flock, who were present. These were
Mrs. Mary Elliston and her daughter
Irene. lie held them up as an everiast-
ing warning to al. mankind, and de-
clared that their path was broad one
and whosoeyer walketh therein shall
aureiy fall among tho brsmbles and be
torne by the thistles, His audience was
raised 10 the highest pitch of excite
mems. SO were Mary and her daugh-
ter. The great eXhozsation was through
with, The hymn sung, the benediction
pronounced, aud al! apparently ssreae;
ees OF meni 1'wo keen and cruel
cowhides lurked, sarpent-like, beneath
the aprons OF the injured females:
NO sooner had the congregation dis
persed and the preacher reached the
sidewalk, than they bounced him and
piled the cutting lashss with heroism
worthy Of the outraged feelings Of two
Unprotected women. Dignity was moth
ing 70 stripes, and the long-coated gen.
tleman. dropping his hymnsbook, fled
and sought protection Of the police
The women wera arrested and laid in
Jail for for the rest IF the night. They
were brought before Judge Craig yester-
day morning, and sha reverend fellow,
having two iros ratings and several of
the legal fraternity between himself and
his beilicose children, exhausted all his
innate eioquence in an attempt to con-
vince the court that they deserved Moth
ing les than banging,in thus disturbing
the easy-goihg grace of his august per-
sonnet. Judge Craig couldn't sounte-
nance such on open rebellion, and, after
saying something about the decline of
nations, and the sporadic and inconsid-
crate influences to which the cause could
generally be traced, fined tho women IS
each, aud held them in 5000 to zefraia
from any more such mutinies.

THE HOG TRADE.
The Indianapolis Journal says:

= ho 4huioboPOiio cVofHot ~
kilograms were received Oh Saturday
from Cincinnati stating decline IN tne
market, consequently prices were nos
so firm at 10 90 as on the previous lew
DAVIS. Parties were in the city anxious
10 secure contracts for hogs to be dc,
iivered in January next, which would
aoon, - ;ndicate that the hog crop
woni5 not become entirely exhausted.
Co. nsrson desired to deliver 500 head
br that time, but the contract was not
secured.o
The Milwaukee Sentinel says: "Re-
eeipts at the yards for the "a hours end
ing at noon to-day were only IL cars.
The market ruled firm and 2Oa25c bet
ter, under the influence of the light
supply and an active demand from
packers, and prices range from goa
10 80 for medium to extra grades"
The st. Louis, (Mo.) Democrat, says:
ARRIVALS have been comparatively fair,
and there has continued an active de-
mand for hogs during the greater por-
ton of the past week, with little or no
restriction up to the close, and We have
noticed but little animation in prices,
except that which would natur ally
arise owing to the real or imaginary diff
ference in the condition Or character OF
the offerings. Reported receipts for the
week embrace 25,S62 head; exports,
ITO, with sales of $500; the ruling
prices for the week have been as follows:
Choice to extra, from 10 90 to 10 %;
good to prime, 9 5Oa9 rs; medium to fair,
8 75a9 %; common, from 8 90 to 5O;
l.
The Chicago Tribune, says: at is be-
ing gravely limited that the hog crop Is
shorter, even, than was generally antic.
ipated earlier in the season, and conse-
quently feeling of greater frmness,
and disposition to speculate on such
probabilities, has been manifested dur
ing the past few days. The market to-
day was fairly active, and firm at the
advanced rates of yesterday, sales being
steadily effected at 9 40al0 90 for COM
mon to medium, and at 10 35all 90 for
