The Manufacture of Cotton.

The National Associ tion of Cotton Man
ufacturers and Planters has just issued q
report, which contains some highly inter
esting information. It appears that the
number of cotton mills in the Northern
States is at present 664, running 6 $50, ,O20
spindles, and consuming annually 3S5, 952,-
O21 pounds of Gotten while there are in
the Southern States Sc mills, running 1885,
O63 spindles, and consuming annually 3D.
AIS, ,750 pounds Of cotton. In the Northern
mills each spindle is made to spin, on an
average, 60 pounds of cotton year, while
in the Southern mills each one spins 1873
pounds, showing that coarser quality of
goods is manufactured at the South. There
are, altogether, nearly 100 fewer mills in
operation now than there were in 1860
The total consumption of cotton for manu-
featuring purposes last year was $50 0OO,-
600 pounds, which, at the usual estimate of
400 pounds to bale, equals l25 600
bales, or nearly one half the production of
the United States. The total consumption
in 1868, in Europe and the United States,
WAS 1904, 1G5, 900 pounds, against l .97G.-
$4,000 pounds in 1858, and 22S4. 9Ol 900
pounds in 1859. At the present relative
prices of raw cotton and cotton CLOTH, there
is no profit on the manufacture of the latter

Important Movement In tho West,

There was Railroad Convention at New
ark, Ohio, on Wednesday. The call for the
convention included representatives. from
West Virginia, the Carolinas, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. The
purpose was to take steps that may lead
ultimately to the construction Of road
f:am GAINESVILLE southeasterly TO the Ohio
River and thence to the seaboard at Nor
folk and Charleston, connecting with roads
to Mobile. From GAINESVILLE north two
roads are suggested, one to Cleveland and
one to Toledo, and perhaps one to Sandus-
Ky. The object is 10 draw trade from the
lakes to the Southern Atlantic seaports.
The Cleveland Herald, in noting this
convention, observes that "there is no rea-
son why New York should for oil time be
the sole focus for the vast business of the
West and Northwest that there now is, and
which is to 60 on increasing for indefinite
years to a volume in size not now dreamed
of. Philadelphia and Baltimore ore mainly
manufacturing cities as compared with New
York, and can never approach New York IN
their foreign commerce. But there are
harbors on our Southern coast that are
equal to that of New York, and but for the
incubus of slavery, large cities would long
ago have been built on their margins" We
ore glad to see the business interests of the
great Northwest thus awaking to the i'm
portance of speedy and direct railway cona-
munication with the Southern seaboard.

Grant and the South.

AS tho day of inauguration draws near,
the sayings of the President elect are beeom-
ing invested with an extraordinary degree
of interest. On general politics he mani
tests his usual reticence but with regard
to the reconstruction of the South, he has
recently expressed very decided We've. To
on the subject, he said that in his opinion
the States of North Carolina, Virginia and
Alabama were the three best practically
reconstructed of the entire ten. There WAS
more observance of law and order and
better disposition existing between the
black and white races and between the po'
litical parties in these States than in any
other. This, he declared, he knew from
extensive and reliable information, and he
had nc, doubt whatever ifpolitical incendi-
arism was put at rest, the other seven
States would very soon settle down to
model condition of civil order and harmony.
He said it was the South, and almost the
South alone, that filled his thoughts when
he made use of the expression in his letter,
s.Let us have peace" If the disorder and
agitation in that section could only he ats
once and forever disposed of, there were
no fears to be apprehended for the rest of
the country. The South had always been
source of anxiety to the nation T; but there
was every prospect now that it would soon
become as tranquil and prosperous as any
other section of the Union. When that
time arrives" exclaimed the General, ''the
United States will be the strongest and
happiest country on the globe" These re-
marks of General Grant are well authenti
Gated and it is further intimated he in
tends to offer at least enc of the Cabinet
positions to Southern man.

spring, in consequence of the comparatively
richer condition OF the Southern people, in the
cotton States particularly. The last crop was
all profit and there we're no drawbacks of old
debts, S,4c business of last year being on a
strictly cash principle, not only between our
merchants and the South, but between the
Southern merchants and their home custom
ers. The yield in money from the crop now
in process OF expectation is not less than
$3.50, 600, 900, the profits on which sum will
come back to crafty the naturally luxurious
taste of the South. The West is slower to
make her Purchases"
