FUTURE DISRUPTION OF THE REPUBL1c-We copy

FUTURE DISRUPTION OF THE REPUBLIC.-We copy
as follows from New York dispatch of the 19th
In his sermon yesterday, Beecher referred to the
late rebellion and said its failure ought not to give
notion that the nation is undoubtedly from dis
rupton. Few know how the rebellion came to
proving success. 1t was an attempt which was
founded upon bad grounds upon that which was
odious to the moral sense of the world. But should
the Pacific States in anotherge eraon without slavery
vile curse, interfering undertake separation CON-
mercal political and economical grounds the issue
would probably be very different. Our late success
must not lead US to suppose that other attempts
would be made If the Southern States, temporarily
exhausted, should the struggle the grounds
of political policy and economy, the result could
be oretold Such the extent of the country tina:
in the future, when the respective parts became popu
lous and wealthy separation could not be stayed, it
their interests lay in separation. National unity
secured only when the interest of each section
that there should be such unity.
THE OPERA IN New ORLEANs.-On the opening
night of the New Orleans OPERA it is stated that great
excitement was visible among the audience who had
found out that there was colored family in the audi.
torium The New Orleans News says when the colored
Inspector of Weights and Measures in the Third Dis
trict made his appearance among the audience in COM
pany with his family, as contemporary puts it, "in a
high state of evening costume" If shell had burst
in the midst of the bedzened assemblage it could not
have created greater alarm than those gaudy nobs of
the Freedmens Bureau occasioned on their entrance
Pearly teeth bit ruby lps masculine faces wore con-
temptuous looks; gouty papas grew livd, and pow
dered old dowagers shook their rues and looked dag
gers at the unfortunate ushers. few rushed to the
street, demanding their money and denouncing the
administration, while through it all, the Seaer of
Weights and Measures of the " Old Third was meas
urng the scale of Michots music and weighing in his
comprehensive mind the merits of the artistes.

Cotton Factories Again,

We believe that we recently promised our readers
not to further urge upon them the advantages and
profits to be derived from cotton factory in this
vicinity At the risk however of forfeting our word
and, moreover of severely trying the patience of in
credulous readers make extract from an article
in the September number Of DeBow's Review on the
subject of Southern factories which our attention
has been called, by Mr. R. H. Lindsay, to whom we
would refer any of citizens who feel disposed to
invest in business promising so large profit.
After giving table showing that cotton can be
manufactured at the South seven cents per pound
cheaper than at the Norh taking 20 cents per pound
the of the MATERIAL the article continues
as follows:
As further evidence of the profits of Southern COT
ton manufacturing, we give below account Of six

ing manure as in everything else, We
should have place for it. | propose a
plan which, if put inpracticc the pres

manure beyond the expectation Of the

that will make manure be deposited In

leaves, old leather chicken manure from
about the poultry yard and house, as
well.as sweeping Of. leaves, and chips
from tie wood-yard, and last but not
least. the uncomfortable contents taken
out from the bed rooms in the morning,
which is the leaven that makes Tie

months you have a mass of superior ma
nure. Try it, and my word for it, if
YOU distribute web and cultivate, you
will have an abundance Of vegetables to
spare. -.a
but this is not all. You must have
these receptacles or boxes also in the
garden, and deposit all vegetable matter
that you find it announcement to work
into the soil, and by the addition Of a
load or two Of stable manure, in few
months you will have just what you need
to put in the trenches, in sowing seed Of
any kind.
By the use of charcoal about the

house, you retain the feFtilizing
gases, prevent the unpleasant doors, and
accumulate a quantity Of the very best

or mixed with other manure. FAf

1t is a great mistake, in my opinion,

and plowcd under deep, all the fertiliz-

ADVANTAGES or LEANING A TRADE.
"Thc advice Of Benjamin Franklin, TO
give every child trade by which lie can
earn a living, if necessary, comes Of an
experience oldor than his. In some
countries this has been the law; 10 others
common custom. ST. Paul, though
educated in the law at tile feet of Canal
icl, also acquired the important Oriental
handicraft of a tontmakcr, by which he
was able to earn his living while prose-
cutting his mission. 1t is a good and
wise thing to do. You may be able TO
send vour children fortunes; but riches
take to themselves wings, lou may
give them finished educations, and they
NAV be gifted with extraordinary genius;
but they nlay be placed il situations
where no education and no talent may be
SO available as some humble honest trade,
by which they can get their living and
be useful to others"
