Southern Manufactures.

We have seen statement that there
is cotton factory in Augusta, Georgia,
whose net earnings since the war have
exceeded $500, 900, out of which $40, 900
stock is now valued at $3.50 per share,
and none for sale. 1t organized with a
capital of 5000, 900, which has since been
increased out of earnings to 5000, OOO
The whole capacity of the factory at
present comprises $4,000 spindles, 59S
looms, consuming $50 bales of cotton per
week. The product on the average is
529 yards of fabric to every loom per day
say $4,000 yards per day, and over
5000, 600 yards per annum.
If these are facts, what is it that pre-
vents Southern capitalists from investing
their money in manufactures, and by
this means aid in developing the resources
of the South. As the raw material is
grown here, there can be no reason why
goods cannot be manufactured at less

Georgia has learned this, and through
out that State there are many Factories
in successful operation. But with us it
seems that all the efforts of the more en-
terprising among us to establish Factories
are about to, or have proven abortive,
either because they have not been patron
lied as they should have been or because
the mOnied men of the State have refused
to lend them assistance when the heavy
debts, which always overshadow under
takings of this kind at first, have become
due. Until our people learn to encour-
age and sustain such enterprises We will
be dependant upon the Yankees of New
England, who having almost monopoly
of certain kinds of goods will, to a great
extent, control the price of cotton.

from tSen,l Ames. as Sheriff and Clerk OF
the various courts. He said that he had
come down 70 Jackson to see his brother.
who was on Genl Ames' staff, and that the
General had requested him 10 come down
and run this county. He at once took
possession of these offices, that is Sheriff and
Clerk of the courts. and soon after that OF
county Treasurer. and Recorder and Trea-
surer of this town. He Immediately took
posi- ssion of the assessment roll of the conn
" and commenced collecting taxes which
he continued to do up the time of the late
election. He took possession of the county
Treasurer's books and some six or seven
thousand dollars ofcounty paper, which had
been paid in by the previous Sheriff. He,
as Treasurer of Pass Christian, received the
sum OF $675 FROM the old Treasurer belong
ing to the school fund of the town. AS
county treasurer he 0ttudnuC0 anu IeCCIfSU
from Messrs- Leonhardt q Dodge some
$500 belonging to the school fund of the
county. He compelled these gentlemen TO
pay him this money BY showing and read
ing to them what purported to be military
order from Gen1 Aunes, authorizing him to
arrest them If they refused to pay. He paid
out of the $675 belonging to this town 5 80
to the lady who was, and still is, teaching
the public school. He has never settled
with the Board of Police of the county, or
the authorities of this town, for one cent OF
the money collected as above, or for taxes.
Ii Is believed that he sold and put in circu-
iation again, much OF the county paper
which he received from the old Treasurer
This tool of Genl Ames' has now LETT and
we hear that he is in Chicago. He must
have taken away with him not less than five
or six thou .and dollars belonging to this
county. and the town OF Pass Christian, and
left our county oNerburdeRed with debt.
He was also Collector of Internal Revenue,
and collected considerable money as such,
whether he ever settled or nor do not know,
uor do | know whether he has settled with
the state Auditor for the State taxes. This
man never gave any bond here, either as
sheriff, Tax Collector, Clerk of the Courts
County Treasurer, or Treasurer of this town.
He said he gave bond in jackson which
had been approved by Gen1 AmeS, whether
50 or not i cannot tell, and certainly he has
given no such bonds AS are required BY the
statute laws of the State. This is the way
we have been swindled by this side-Whis-

The MALAYs AND PAPUANs. - In
color the Malay is light reddish brown
tinted with olive, in some tribes being
lighter, in some darker, but not differing
much in stature rather low, with a stout
body and small feet and hands Tho
face is without beard, or nearly 80; the
features, with the exception Of a coarse
mouth, rather finely cut, the eyes dark
and piercing. In early life, the features
are by no means unpleasant; but have a
withered and rather repulsive appearance
at more mature age. Under ordinary
circumstances the Malay displays no cruel
or vindictive feelings, and seems 10 be an
| impassive, inotfensive, taciturn, and even
timid being. Among the educated Ma
lays you may find as much polish of man
ners as among ordinary cultivated Euro
peans. In intellect they are dull, and
! their literature not striking, and that Dor
rowed. Yet all this is the quiet and
sickness of the tiger. Once aroused
they are the most ferocious of any of the
species OF man, excepting, perhaps, the
savage tribes of Africa.
In striking contrast to these are the
Papuans. Their color is a blush brown.
or brownish black, never so ietty as the
equatorial negro. They have the wolly
locks OF the negro race, but much longer
than in other varieties oftheir kind. and
and to this they give a still more frizzled
appearance by parting each hair by means
OF comb, or forked stick, until the head
presents the appearance nearly Of one of
those old-fashioned globular hair mops,
used occasionally for cleaning high win
dows. The thick lips, the projecting eyes
and general cast of features, no less than
the hair and the color Of the skin, mark
the race to which they belong. Their
stature is tall, fully as tall as the Euro
pean with large hands and feet, and the
tendency of thinness oflimb characteristic
Of the true black man. But they differ
from the negro in having more beard, long
er hair, and nose which, though broad
at the nostrils, Is high, arched considera-
bly,, and of rather Roman style.
Nor is the Papuan opposed less in
character than in appearance to the Ma
lay. The Malay is impassive, taciturn.
and avoidant Of strangers; the Papuan IL
impulsive, demonstrative, and friendly To
all new corners The Malay is an animal
who Is kind and gentle to his family. tbe
Papuan is brutal to his wife, and particu-
larry to his children. The MALAY is
grave, quiet, and rarely even smiles; the
PaPuan is inclined to be frivolous, is noisy,
and fond of laughter. In point of intel
iect, Wallace rates the Papuan the high
est; why, we cannot see, for the Papuan
has never made any advance towards civ
llIzatIon, has no written language, no lit
erature, no great skill in the arts, and If.
as his enlogists claim, he indulges 10 elab-
crate carving, tits Of frightfnl figures that
give no evidence of imagination. --s The

The Legislature.

To-day, after three years of military
misrule and anarchy, a body representing
the law-making power of civil State gov
eminent meets. 1t has the monster duty
upon its hands of inaugurating govern
ment the machinery of which has been
torn to atoms by the ruthless hands of a
military despot. Besides the constitution,
by which they have been clothed with
power to do this great work has many fea-
lures which are new to Mississippi and
has cast aside many which the old con-
stitution contained.
1t is to be hoped that body vested
with so much power for good or evil, will
so conduct itself that for all time men
will call it blessed. If the majority will
lay aside party prejudice and work for the
common good Of the whole people of the
State, they may accomplish this. But if
on the other hand they follow in the steps
of. the Legislatures which have inaugu-
rated the new governments of Louisiana,
Arkansas, Alabama and Florida, the peo-
pie of Mississippi viii have abundant rea-
son to curse the day upon which they as
q body were born to power. Or, if they
should ape the arrogance of that i'll
famed body which met two years ago in
this place to make the Constitution under
which they are acting. they will be even
more contemplate than the bodies to
whom we have referred.
We know that they have no very bril-
liant leaders, but we trust desire to act
IN accordance with the promises they have
made, will cause them to consider well
every step they take; and that all their
acts will be for the benefit of the whole
people, and not for any special class.

1t is wonderful with what cool audacity
Congress perpetrates impositions upon
those who placed them in power. Last
year thousands and thousands of dollars
were collected from distilleries under the
law which required each one of them to
purchase at from $50 to 81, 500 a Tice
meter, which its inventors claimed would
measure liquors as they were distilled.
To insure the purchase of this miserable
humbug each distiller was required to de
post the purchase money with the Inter
nal Revenue department, before he would
be licensed to continue his business. In
teligent and practical men pronounced this
metre a failure before the law was passed,
and now it has been unanimously con-
demned; not however until the "ring"
which originated it obtained its pile.
1t is now required, that all tobacconists,
rectifers, distillers and wholesale liquor
dealers, shall use an internal Revenue
Coupon Book, and they are required TO
pay four dollars and fifty cents piece for
the book, which will not cost the manu-
factory more than one dollar and half
each. As every merchant who sells box
of tobacco is tobacconist, and every one
who sells barrel of whlskey, wholesale
liquor dealer, by decision of the Revenue
Department, somebody will get rich on
the labor of others by the power of 1.-THE
best government the world ever saw"
being used to promote their interests.

CoTToN.-The price of the chief arti-
Gle of trade in this State is declining slow
ly but surely. From the steadiness with
which this falling goes on, we have fears
that it will not rally for weeks; perhaps
not for months We cannot discern the
reason, unless it is owing to the fall in
gold, which has been down to Us, though
it went up day before yesterday to 1853.
We would advise all, who are able to do
so, to keep their cotton out of the mar
ket. There must be an increase in the
price before the spring and summer have
passed.

set Ont Wore plum Trees.

There is a secret about plum raising. -
We have discovered in travelling over the
country. We never visited large plum
orchard in our life that we did not find
plenty Of the fruit. Now these facts set
us TO thinking, and the result Of our
thoughts is this: that it is very easy TO
have all the plums you want TO eat and
to sell. The secret connected with plum
raising is to plant plenty Of trees, so as to
give fruit to the curculio and 10 yourself
also
If you will plant fifty or hundred
trees, you will have fruit enough for
every body. Every such orchard that
we ever visited, had plenty Of ripe fruit.
Some even complain that the curculio
did not thin out the fruit enough: that the
trees were overloaded. So we say to our
readers, if you plant plums at all, plant
fifty or one hundred trees; then you will
be sure to have all the fruit you want. -
1t sells from five to ten dollars bushel,
and is one of the most profitable crops
raised. Rural World
Ashes, when applied to the roots of
trees, should not be placed in contact
with the bark, a. they become moistened
and form I've too strong for the growing
wood; nor should they lie upon the
ground in any place more than one inch
