The poaoer for driving the machinery

The pouer for driving the machinery
necessary to manufacture the entire cot.
crop of the Southern Statescan be found
in Georgia alone. All that is necessary
to put the machinery in motion is tor
the planters themselves to invest their
surplus profits arising from the produc-
tion of the raw material in we'll directed
schemes for the utilization of this vast
power now lying idle in our midst.
English manufacturers will find it to
their interest to establish manufacturing
establishments here where motive power
is abundant at nominal cost, and where
the raw material is twenty per cent.
cheaper than in Manchester Instead
ofinvesting their money in efforts to in
crease the supply of cotton, let them
come here with their capital and make
investments in manufactures, which, &C
cording to the reports of our leading
Southern factories, will pay from t'oenty
to tinty percent. per annum. In Great
Bri am three to five per cent. upon In.
vestments is considered a good business
Here in the cotton manufacture, ten
times that amount can be realized.
The manifest advantages which the
South, and particularly Georgia, possess,
will necessarily attract manufacturing
capital from t! e North and from Great
Britain. While we are anxious to have
this capital brought here and this branch
of industry fully developed, we prefer
that our own people should reap por-
ton at least of the riches which must
follow -judicious investments in cotton
manufactures.
This is a matter of much Importance
to the State and to the planters, and
we hope it will receive the consideration
of those who areso clamorous to increase
labor or to,produce five millions of bales
in order to sell it at IL or Is cents

GOOD HOPE FOR THE SoUTH.-The
dobile Register thinks that, if history
Phas not falsi6ed the truth in all her ex-
, amples, great future is before the long
suffering people of the South. Division
of labor, fertilizers, and labor,saving
agricultural implements, it is now plain,
will produce from the Southern soil all
that it yielded under the large planta-
tion system. The millions yielded from
the earth, formerly required for pur-
chasing and replenishing slave labur,
will be hereafter saved, and will neces-
:sarily find useful and productive invest
ment at home. The carpet-bag and
scalawag exodus established, and the
State governments once more in the
hands ofthe people, the road to peace
and prosperity will be clear and open,
and the people, learning wisdom from
the trial and the errors of the past, will
tspluck from the uettle danger the flower
safely"

MISCELLANY.
FOR THE JOURNAL.

The following fragment from an un.
published novel, has direct bearing
supon a kindred subject, which is occa.
ssioning some discussion in bath the
Euglsh and American papers at th"
spresent time. The scene Is laid in
Spain. aud varies a little from the Yer
ssiou of Mrs. Stoves ''o'er true tale" OF
her friend. IF it was Mrs. Stoves oh.
.ject to deter the risen, and rising gen
Grafton from perus'ng the productions
eof Lord Byron, he has most sisnally
failed of her am. The writer Of the
fragment, after referring to some domes-
tic differences, says:
"a few hours after, We were very
good friends, and few days after she
set out for Aragon, With my son, on a
visit to her father and mother. [ did
not accompany her, having been in
,Aragon before, but vas tojuin the family
in their Moorish Chateau, within few
weeks. During her journey, received
a very afectiouase letter from Donna
Jo|epha, apprising me of the welfare o
herself and my son. On their arrival
at the chateau, l received another, s'il.
more affcctionate; pressing me, lin very
fond and rather foolish terms, 10 join
her Immediately. As I was preparing
to set out from Seville, I received
third,-thIs was from her father, Dln
Jose di Cardoso, who requested me, in
the politeat manner to dissolve my mar
riage. / answered him with equal po-
aiteuess, that I would-do no such thing.
A fourth letter arrived,-it was from
Donna Josepha, in which she informed
me that her fathers letter was written
BY her particular desire. I requested
the reason by return of post; she replied
sby express, that as reason htsd nothing
to do ,cih the matter, it was unnecessary
sto give any-basF that she was an fu.
jured and-excellent woman. / then
enquired why she was had written me
the two preceding affectiouate letters,
requesting me to come to Aragon,-
She answered that was because she be-
'lieved me out of my senses-that, being
unfit to take care Of myself, I had only
to set out on the journey alone, and
making my way without difficulty to
Don Jose di Cardozo's, I should there
have found the tenderest Of wives and
"a strait ioaistcoa, j had nothing to
reply to this piece Of affection, but a
.reiteration Of my request for some lights
upon the subject. l was answered, that
they would only be related to the inqui-
.sition. In the meantime, our domestic
discrepancy, had become public topic
Of discussion; and the WORD, which al
wSys decides justly, not only in Aragon,
butin Andalusia, determined that I was
not only to blame, but that all Spain
could produce nobody 50 blaueable.-
My case was supposed to comprise oil
the crimes which could, aud several
that could not be committed but little
less than an ante-de-fe was anticipated as
the result. But let no man say we are

THESURYlY0R,S ASSOClAIlS0,4NL:, S,4L,
At a meeting of the Survivors, AS.
sociatiou, Charleston District, the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, the events of the late war
between the Confederate aud United
States of America are now fresh in the
minds of its survivors, and many re-
cords do now exist which time and neg
lect will certainly destroy, it is highly
desirable to have these records and these
r,colIcctions put in such substantial
form as to resist the ravages of time;
and, whereas. we have no government
which will collect and preserve the his
tory of those transactions of which we
are proud, it is, therefore, the duty of
all South Carolinians to place the his
tory Of the late war in its true light be-
fu:e the world, in order that those who
fought aud died for their country may
have not only the reward Of their dis
tinguished patriotism: but the justice
which their achievements deserve /;
and, whereas, the Survivors Associa-
tion of any single district may do much
in collecting aud preserving these re-
cords, yet because of the intimate as
sociation existing during the war be-
tween all the troops Of the State, the
work will become proportionally less
onerous and much more effective if the
survivors of the whole State we're to
unite in cnmmon effort therefore, be
it
Resolued, That the Survivors Asso.
citation Of Charleston District earnestly
invite the Survivors of each district in
the State, where associations ofrecord do
not now exist; to form district associa'
tions, composed Of the survivors Of the
Confederate army and navy, to collect
and preserve the records of the late war.
That the various district associations
be invited to send FIVE delegates to q
convention, to mee' at our hall, In
Charleston, on Thursday, November IL;
1869, to form State survivors asso-
citation, for the purpose set forth in the
next resolution.
That the primary object of the pro-
posed State Survivors, Association is

ry conurctcd with the late war.
That the proposed means of accom-
plishing thi, object is the establishment
