THE TAUCLUSE COTTON FACTORY.
An Important Enterprise-Its Origin ,
Progress snd Prospects.
prom the Augusta constitutionalist,] ]

From the Augusta Constitutionalist]
The magnificent success Of the August and
Graniteville factories has impeiled q nu mber
of gentlemen IN South Oarolina and GeorR Ia to
combine somewhat of their surplus funds for
the purpose Of establishing new cotton mill.
It is proposed to raise, by subscription, capi-
tai stock OF $500 900, and locate the factory at
posed, the amount Of $3.50, 900 has already been
conditionally subscribed at the North, and
there remains but ON equal amount to be raised
Southwark IN order to m AXE the enterprise q
handsome proportion Of this has already been n
pledged, and now that the subscription books
are opened at the Office Of Messrs John J.
Cohen b Son we anticipate constant access
sions, 30 that the matter will be promptly
launched. Though, the capital stock is to be
$500 900. 50 per cent. only will be called for
when all 10 subscribed, aud the remain ing 40
per cent. in four instalments within twelve
months. Out o. thls capital it is proposed to
expend $4OO 900 in the creation OF o mill Of
Is 600 spindles. The Augusta mill has, we
balieve. ID 600 splndles, and the Granteville
mill az 900. We refer to this to show that,
though not go capacious as either OF these
splendid factories, the projected mill at Vau-
cuse will nevertheless, be one of considerable
magnitude,
things considered, tho very best attainable In
this immediate region. There We find mag
niAcant water power, equal &c shsee hundred

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.
Trouble Brewing Between the Fresi-
don't and the Kadicals-rho Tenu re-
cf-o65ce Act mot to be Repealed.

The Washington Radicals are said to be
greatly alarmed lest the Presidents course
should lead to an open rupture with Congress.
Among themselves the Republican members of
the House have been quite tree In their criti-
cisms Of what they term the Presidents blum
ders The politicians, as might be expected,
attribute them to but one cause, to
wit, Presidents Grants refusal to con-
suit them. sH he had asked and taken
the advice Of few senator's and membe rs
who know something about these things,
ne would not have run himself and the party
into this awkward predicament," said prom j.
nent Republican member OF the House. eft
will teach him lesson for the future" said
another. II don't think he will try to run the
machine himself any further" chmed in
third. "No," volunteered still another, .'it's
too big machine for any one one man to run;
don't care if he had the wisdom of half @
dozen Solomons." These were the expressions
OF opinion among Republicans concerning the
first acts Of Grants administration. The poll
ticians think they. have achieved victory, and
they secretly ,chuckle over the circumstances
which arise, as they think, to show President
Grant that he cannot get along without them.

President Grant and Mr.. Washburne
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 10, 1869.
To The Prestdent:
Wnon you did me the honor to confer upon
me the appointment of Secretary of State,
felt constrained to state to you that my health
would prevent me from holding the 20 ,ition
for any length Of time. I am already admon-
ished that proper discharge Of the duties OF
the Office would involve more labor and respon-
sibillty than am willing to undertake, in JUS
tice to the public interest and myself. 1t con-
venient and agreeable to you, would be glad
to have you name my successor at as early
moment as you deem practicable and you will
please consider this as my resignation, to take
effect as soon as my successor is qualified and
ready to enter upon the discharge OF the duties
OF the Office.
need not add here, Mr. President, how
gratefully appI eciate the distinguished honor
you conferred upon me by inviting me to be-
come one Of your constitutional advisers.
Had circumstances permitted it, should
have been pleased to have been associated
with you officially, and to have aided you. as
far as IN my power, in carrying out your views
in the administration OF the government, upon
the principles Of honesty, retrenchment. econ
omy, public faith, ana equal and exact justice
to all.
have the honor to be, very respectfully,
