But no estimate is made of tho broker
age, &C., in Liverpool, or of the freights
and charges on the cotton from Liver
pool to Manchester. Southern yarns
could be shipped to the continent Of
Europe at about the same rates as to Liv-
erpool, while English yarns would have
to pay freight from Manchester to the con-
tinent. These additional charges on the
cost of English yarns being considered, |
think it would be quite fair to inter from
the foregoing that we could send our
yarns to Europe, and, selling them at the
cost of producing English yarns, derive
net profit of at leaot FIVE cents per pound.
In support Of the figures | have given,
and the conclusions L have drawn from
them, mention the fact that at no time
within the last three years would we have
been nnabe to command from our North
crn commission houses chad we chosen to
ask for them) advances beyond the total
cost OF cur yarns. Can any Northern or
English manufacturer say this?
Estimating the average crop of cotton
at $4,000 bales, of $50 pounds each,
and the price here at 25 cents, and we
have rs the amount received by the South,
s225 900, ,O0O Manufacture this cotton
into yarns, and sell at cost Of Northern
or English production, and We have, after
deducling all foreign charges, met price

stock, if manufactured at tho South, So

ing gain to the South Of Sl20,0OO,OOO; +;
and il we estimate for q receipt Of say &c.
per pound and cost Of foreign manufac
turc, land our experience would more
than Justify IT'D we have q further gain Of
$50 900 900 In all, Sl50,000,G00.
The average production Of yarns last
year throughout the United States was
per spindle, GILL pounds; the average
number of yarn manufactured, 27,3lS;
the total number Of spindles was about
6,O4S, ,249 of those the Northern States
had 5,S4S, At; and tho Southern States
ony 1912. The average number Of
yarn manufactured at the North was 27b;
production per spindle, 59.57. The aver
age number of yarn manufactured at the
South was l25; production per spindle,
14O.31.
These figures are bascd upon tho rc-
ports made to the National Association of
Cotton Manufacturers and Planters. 1t
is probable that many Of the smaller mills
in tho Soath were not reported. My cal
culation is based upon an average produc-
ton per spindle (ring traveler) Of 81
pounds, and average number 20,
TO spin 2,500,0O0 bales would require
IL ,4G4 ,253 spindles. If cap frames were
used, of course less number of spindles

rNHE next. Session (of eight months)
opens on Wednesday,, September 1,
1869, when there will be an Inaugural
Address by Professor TOY. 1t is on
every account important for Students
to be present on the first day.
The studies arc exclusively Thcologi-
cal, and embrace an extensive range OF
subjects, in which the best College
graduates and those who have only a
plain English education can alike find
whatever they are prepared for and
prefer. The whole course requires at
least three years, but Student may
come for only single Session, and Sc
lect his subjects, with advice from the
Professors if desired, and may graduate
in each of tho particular schools he at
tends. No charges for tuition, nor fees
of any kind. Textbooks lent to those
who cannot conveniently purchase them.
Students may hoard at the Seminary
Hall, with rooms free Of rent, and pay
ing only the actual cost of living, which
for the past Session averaged s. 70 a
month. Those who prefer it may board
in private families, at about SIS per
month. In either case, fuel, lights and
washing will add some So so month.
Brethren wishing to attend, but unable
to command the necessary means, will
please write promptly to Rev. B. MAN
LY, Jr., who will arrange to give them
pecunlary aid. Churches and Individ.
ual brethren and sisters are requested
to send him contributions, large or
small, for that purpose. Greenville is

pears. Hero the old school has but lit
tie to propose. 1t can be eloquent on
the past; but when brought face to face
with the future, permits indignation to
obscure its judgment and paralyze Its
ability. The new school is more prac-
tical and more cool.
1t never troubles its brain about re-
assertion of the secession idea, its inter-
est in any discussion of the subject ap-
parcntly beginning and ending with a
justification of the abstract rightlulness
of the doctrine; it would not have the
negroes returned into slavery in any
condition; it favors immigration; it be-
licves in railways, direct trade and in.
ternal improvements; and, above all, it
hates the radical party with concen-
tration of enmity that few in the North,
save Wendell Phillips, and occasionally
the late Mr.. Raymond, seem to have
fathomed. Some of the leaders Of this
new school ] might mention but they
are not at present men Of any extended
repute outside of their several States,
and the ideas they entertain lack that
cohesion which would make them of
decided importance just now. If there
be good ciop this year, it is not un-
likely but that some steps will be taken
in the fall to unite the sentiment Of the
South in some articles of a common
creed"

SCHOOL FEsTIyALS-The festival Is
gotten up by the public schools of this city
for the purpose of raising funds for purchas-
ing school apparatus-the one for the first
ward on Friday evening the 22d, and the
one for the second ward on wednesday
evening the 37th-were each a decided sue
cess. The net proceeds CT each amounted
to little over $3.50, making over $500 for
the two. LESAHAss' Hall was crowded to
repletion on both occasions. The exercises
of the scholars, consisting of Declarations
Tableaux and Songs, were all rendered so
As to satisfy the Judgement of the entire
audience. The parents of the scholars all
seemed proud of their offsprings- Particu-
lsrizing where all did so we'll is hard
duty, but as our space is too limited for a
full description, we will only mention two
or three. At the first Yard exhibition Miss
JANET MURDOCH deserves special mention
tor the style in which she recit : q difficult
selection of poetry. At the second ward
exhibition Miss LIBBIs ARGALL, took the
audience by stoLm" by the description and
excellent manner in which she rected The
World for Sale" and Miss ELIZA ARGALL
was warmly applauded for her expressive
recitation of the Bible" Many of the
younger boys of each school spoke their
piece" admirably. Several of the tableaux
were truly beautiful. The songs Music in
the Air, !" The Whistling Farmer Boy and
The Railroad Cars are Coming" as sung
by Miss FLoRs CorcH, and the Masters Os
BORNE, were delightful to hear.
