MANUFACTURES IN THE SOUTH. Southern
papers are discussing the project which was in
such favor just previous to the war, of manu-
featuring large share of the cotton crop into
yarns and coarse cloths, instead of shipping it
to Europe In the bale. 1t is claimed that by
doing so the staple would be increased in value
by the addition of labor fully one hundred per
cent. The average crop is now worth two hum
dred million dollars, and if half of it were spun
would realize three hundred million dollars,
besides employing thousands Of operatives and
uniting large emigration. 1t is claimed that
yarns can be manufactured at the South of equal
quality to those made abroad, and that they
would sell readily in European markets The
consequence would be that the surplus spinners
of the Old World would be obliged to come to
the raw material instead of the raw material
going to them, as now, and, moreover, very
large saving in freight would be effected The
scheme is certainly dazzling one, and we shall
be glad to see it successfully carried into opera
ton. The South now has less than two hun
dred thousand spindles, while the North has
5,S4S,4 AT. If the South could spin it's own
cotton, or one-half of it, and send it abroad in
the shape Of yarn, the above proportion in
spindes would soon be reversed. d.-Ne,o York

stiff clays, rendering them friable, mellow, and
more easily worked chemically, it acts upon
the vegetable matter Of the soil, and sets free
those stores of valuable substances which, with
out the action Of this agent, must have remain
ed inert and useless. 1t also enters directly in
to the composition of plants, and in many va
rieties forms large proportion of the weight
of their inorganic constituents 1t neutralizes
certain acids which are often present in soils,
rendering them useful to vegetation instead of
being positively injurious, which they are in
their original state. The existence of water in
the soil, however, affects the action of lime
very considerably. If the land is wet and un-
drained, lime will not exert the same influence
which it would do in the case of thoroughly
drained land A greater quantity Of lime is
necessary to produce given effect and thus
the neglect OF thorough drainage entails con-
siderabiy greater expenditure in lining than
would have been necessary, if the land was
either naturally or artiGeiay dry.

Distressing Accident.

A gentleman from Williamsville yesterday,
relates the following sad accident which oc-
CURED near that village on Monday last. A
young and promising physician, who graduated
at the University of Virginia about two years
ago, and subsequently at Baltimore Medical
College, has been practicing his profession for
the past year, at Williamsvie, Bath county,
Va. Near the close Of the day, the Doctor
was, returning from visit to his boarding
house. Some of the family were sitting on
the porch, when whipporwill lit near the
house to warble its evening song. A young
sportsman, wishing to procure the bird for the
ladies, left the house with his shot gun, and
carelessly discharged it; but when going to
pick up his victim, he saw the Doctor-until
this time unnoticed, approaching him, reeliug
in his saddle, with countenance pale as death.
My dear SIR exclaimed he you have shot
me r s'Oh, horrid [ did not see you-are
you much bASt?" ''Yes, badly, shot in the
bowels Take me off " The young man
trembling with fear and remorse, helped him
from his saddle and assisted him to his room,
while the ladies wrung their hands in speech
less agony. A hasty though careful examinae
ton was made, which disclosed the fact that
the contents of the shot gun had passed harm
tessly through the air, missing both whippoor-
will and Doctor. In the language of the illus
trious Lincoln-"there was no body hurt -

The DISASTROUS FIRE IN HENDERSON, N.
ca terrible calamity has fallen upon the cit
liens OF the town Of Henderson, in Granville
county, about which we have been able to OBJ
tain the following information:
About three o clock Monday morning, the
storehouse belonging to Dr. Debnam was dis
covered to be on fire. Immediately means
were employed to stife the flames, but all in
vain. Before any efficient remedy could be
used brisk breeze sprung up and caused the
sparks and flames to communicate with build
ings on the opposite side of the street The
attempt to stay the furious element then be-
came worse than folly. Every house was con-
sumed from the store of L. H. Kittle, ESQ, to
the residence of Mr.. Reavis, on either side of
the street, and nearly all the stores and dwell
lngs between this street and the railroad
The fire continued to rage until about six
o'clock, and only ceased when there was moth
ing more within its reach to consume 1t is
fully believed to be the work of an incendiary.
Many goods and articles of furniture were
saved from the different dwellings, but in the
hurry and confusion the things rescued were
badly damaged We have heard of no loss Of
life or personal injury -Raleiqh Standard.

Troops for the MARYLAND Election,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1t was decided by
the President to-day to give orders through
the war department to the commanding Off
Ger at Fort McHenry to hold his command
in readiness on Tuesday next to assist the
United States marshal in enforcing the con-
gressional election law in Baltimore 1t has
been stated in official quarters that trouble
is anticipated in the third congressional dis
trict, Baltimore city, A detachment of
troops will probably be sent from Fort Della
ware into Kent county.
In time ofprofound peace, when the civil
authorities are untrammeled and fully COM
petent to carry out any and all measures for
the preservation of order, we are again to be
saddled in Maryland with the presence of
the military at our elections. A long list of
outrages is already stored up in the minds of
the American people against the Radical
party, and this continual invoking of the aid
of soldiers against peaceable citizens, is not
one of the least.

have spared no SANDERS to prejudice your in
terests; scrupled at no falsehood that would
subserve party purpose, and have now
dared to tell you to your faces that they es-

you give the candidate that stood upon

without word of contradiction in behalf of
the people of his own district, your support
on Tuesday next? Surely not.

To the Editors Of tile AEgis d InteRigencsr:
MEssRs. EDITORS In your issue of the
28th inst, notice a report of the suicide
of Miss Elizabeth Bailey, and beg leave to
correct the erroneous statements made by
your informant. 4h
The facts of the case are as follows
Miss Bailey was member of the family of
her brother-in-law, Mr.. VIM. Bailey, one of
our most respected citizens. She was a
lady of high responsibility and exemplary
piety, who at intervals was subject to
mental depression. On Saturday night,
she retired as usual, and on Sunday morn
ing was found dead in cistern filled with
water, which was in the yard. The YER
dict of the jury on the inquest was, that
she came to her death by voluntarily
drowning herself in cistern of water,
while laboring under temporary insanity.
The note referred to stated that she
could not bear to see others suffer from her
weakness, and that no blame was attached
to any one but herself for the act.
l make this correction in justice to the
afflicted friends and relations of the deceas-
ed, and request the Baltimore San to notice
the same.

the direction of Mr.. s. X. Davis, of Baltimore
city. That gentleman was assisted by his
brother, Mr.. VIM Davis, and also by Miss

man and McFadden, of Baltimore city-the
latter giving some very humorous and en-
tertaining Rotations, which were received
with much applause by the audience In the
absence of others who were expected, the
parties above named spared no pains to fill
their places, in the efforts made by them to
afford varied and rich musical treat, and

occasion, and our citizens are much indebted
to all concerned, particularly to Miss Mann,
who being the only lady who participated in
the exercises, had a difficult role to fill, which
she accomplished with much spirit and grace.
