COTTON YARNs FOR ENGLAND.

The New York Shipping and
Commercial list calls attention to
the enhanced profits the South may
derive from the working up Of its
fine long cotton into yarns for the
English and other foreign markets,
instead of exporting the bulk of the
raw staple. This subject is ems
gaging the attention Of capitalists
in the South, and is looked upon
with much favor. The South has
important advantages in the man
ufacture of cotton. Besides having
the raw material at hand, it has the
capacity to produce an abundance
of food, an unlimited water power,
plenty of timber and coal of tho
best quality, together with extend
ed and extending facilities for com0
munication and transportation.
These combine to give the South a
decided advantage over any other
section in the manufacture OF cot
ton. The only present drawback
or impediment, Of any lmpor-
lance, is the lack of adequate
capital, but this is being
supplied, and in a year or
two more the South will possess
sufficient capital to engage entenS
sively in almost every branch OF
the manufacture of cotton. In the
mean time our people may 60 for
ward and supply cotton yarns to
England in large quantities. The
Shipping and Commercial List
SAYS: at has been demonstrated
that the relative cost of converting
cotton into yarn, as between Eng~
land and the South, is in favor OF
the latter. The Superintendent OF
the Saluda Cotton Mills, OF Colum-
bia, S. c., has furnished some in"
teresting facts and figures on this
point. He assumes, by way of com
parison, the price of cotton at CO.
lumbia to be 30 cents per pound
in New York, 23.5 cents; and in
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-09-28

Manchester, England, "a cents,
which he assures US are fair pro-
portions. On this basis, the cost of
making pound of cotton into yarn
at Columbia would be 9 cents,
while in New York it would
be 1431 cents, and in Man.
chester 11.25 cents. Taking
into account the freight and
insurance from Columbia to New
York, and the carriage, commission
and other charges there, the cost OF
manufacturing yarn is found to be
fully 5 cents per pound cheaper
at Columbia than in New York,
assuming that the articlei is worked
up there. A similar calculation
having been entered into, as bes
tween Columbia and Manchester,
shows that the manufacture OF cots
ton yarns can be done cheaper at
the South than in England, by about
the difference in the value OF cur
rency and gold. The figures OF a
manufacturer of yarns in Manches-
ter, show the cost of a pound OF
yarn there-taking "a cents per
hound as the cost of the cotton, and
II 25 cents as the cost of CONVEX
sion-at 1926 cents. The cost OF
the transfer of the pound of South
ern yarn-costing in the South ~
cents-from the South to England
is, including both freight and in
surance, barely Is cents. This
added to the preceding cost, makes
the cost to England SO.5 cents,
whereas the pound manufactured in
England costs 1926 cents; showing
that the Southern manufacturer can
put his yarns down in England
475 cents cheaper than the English
manufacturer can make them there.
If these figures, which refer to NO
20 yarns, are substantially correct,
they surely afford very strong ar
gument for pushing the manufac
ture of cotton at the South, as well
as its culture. By working up the
surplus cotton into yarns for expor'
tation, it has been roughly estlma'
ted that a profit of twenty dollars
a bale would be realized over and
above the profit of growing the
staple. In crop Of three millions
of bales, this would afford an extrs
profit of sixty millions of dollars
enough surely to create a strong
incentive on the part of men o
means to engage in the business

"After many days" of anxious wan

the hero who immortalised the
name of Stokes on the banks of the

r1TF CRACK OF THE wHIp:


whip" was once cant phrase with
Abolition teachers, preachers and
politicians. 1t was used by them
as a sort of passional stimulant TO
arouse the wlath and excite the
indignation of "the truly loyal"
then called the truly philanthropic,
in all the region round about Cape
Cod and Narraganset Bay, against
the people of the South, who had
formerly added largely tothe wealth
of Cape Cod and Narraganset by
purchasing from the hardy mariners
of that sterile region the fruits OF
their labors in the slave trade.
Finally the phrase crept into
Congress, and thence throughout
the nation whenever and wherever
Abolitionism sought "to point a
moral or aGorn tale" Negro
slavery has passed away forever
and forever. But "the crack of the
slavc-driver's whip" is still heard
in the land. The color of the slave,
however, is changed, and the whip
has passed into other hands. The
manufacturing millionaire from
Massachusetts and the lordly bond
holder from Wall street now hold
the whip. The white men of
the South are tho slaves over
whose backs they flourish it.
They dare not attempt to
crack it in the face of the freemen
of the North and Northwest.
There is no faint of treason"
about them, which will cause their
denunciations of Radicalism to be
construed into dislOyalty to the
government. The Democracy of
New York, iu convention assems
bled, on Wednesday last, did not
hesitate to
Resolve, That We demand the restoration
Of all States to their rights in the Union
under the constitution the amnesty of po-
litical offenders; the reduction of the
standing army the abolition of that hybrid
institution-the Freedmen's Bureau the
restoration of the rightful authority OF the
judiciary; aud the subordiuation of the
military to the civil power.
They further
Resolved, That the fifteenth amendment
of the federal constitution, proposed by
the Radical majority in Congress in
spirit Of contempt of the people and of the
right Of the States to regulate the elective
franchise, and in utter disregard of the
pledges Of the party, and attempted TO be
forced upon. the States as a condition of
their restoration 10 civil government and
to their representation in the national
legislature, is intended to place the ques-
ton OF suffrage in the hands of the central
representative system.
When o Tennesseean uses Ian
guage of this character, he imme-
diately hears "the crack of the
slave drivers whip" Heis threat
ened with reconstruction, military
rule and all the ills which the body
polite is heir to under the Radical
dynasty. We are even told that
our defence of those sublime con-
stitutional principles, which are the
production and monument of the
men of 1877, is an insult to Presiden1
Grant; that it is taking an unfair
advantage of the magnanimous
liberality Of the Radical prOscrip-
tionists who refuse representation
to Georgia, and hold Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas in chains.
Take heart, men of the South,
"the crack of the slave~driver' s
whip will soon be hushed," the days
of Radicalism will soon be over and
the constitution re.established and
acknowledged throughout the
