Representative Buckley, of Alabama, has
presented to the Committee of WAYS md
Means an appeal in behalf Of homo indus
try which ought to be listened to. One
great article Of British manufacture il cot
ton yam. England importa the cotton, and
e1Porta it manufactured into ynrn. Spin
ming and weaving arc distinct occupations
IN England The spinner mikes the yarn,
according to order, of length nnd size need
ed in the ma1ket to which it is sent. These
yarns arc soft, and even, weaving into soft
fabric, which takes dyes and printing well.
The American yarns arc hard-twisted, max
ing mora durable cloth than the English.
Older nations prefer the Engiish, and will
not have the American yarns. This British
yarn is made BY peculiar machinery not
used in this country AL attempts to make
yarns for foreign markets by American
machinery have proved failures. The
water power Of the South is abundant, and
it is proposed to utilize it BY making this
yarn and exporting it. To do 90 the im-
portation Of English machinery is neces-
sary. The appsal that Mr.. Buckley makes
IS that permission 10 import such machinery
for one year free OF duty, be given. Un-
less the permission be given, the machinery
Will not be imported, so there Will be no
loss Of revenue. As the machinery is not
made in this country, there will be no in
vazton OF the 10 called righta Of American
mechanics We suppose Mr.. Greeley viii
concede the right to import this kind Of
machinery, provided the importers will call
it a protective measure.

MISSISSIPPI EL0QUENCE.

A few days since, Senator OF tie Mis-
sissirpi Legislature arose in his place to
advocate the passage OF q bill for the
Reclamation of the Waste Lands of the
Mississippi Valley, and he thus began at
the beginning: "Mr- President: AL Life
beginB and centres in God God is the
Centre Of the Life Of ali Space" Owing to
the want Of capitals in the printing Office Of
the jackson Daily Fihat, in which tho
speech is reported in full this sublime
sentiment was printed in lower case, which
It does not deserve, and which NO have,
therefore, corrected in the proper manner.
But let Us not lie understood as mis-
representing the Honorable Senator. When
We say he "bcgan nj the beginning wc
only mean that that WIS tie beginning of
his speech, and not the beginning Of
things That beginning came after tho
other beginning. lie proceeded: "We
ere taught that in the beginning was the
word, the word Was with God, and
tho word was Cod In which also
We notice want of the proper
capitals, but we hnd better, with duo re-
gard to our own, follow copy. But we are
not get through with the beginning. t'In
tho beginning, God created the world
| our worid, and all that was in it, When
He had thus created it, He looked out upon
it, md resolved to make d matter for ito
perfect the creation And then,-As We
cannot copy the whole speech, h,-came man
and woman, whom uo commanded, after
giving them dominion, to 80 forth and
multiply and replenish the earth, Asp SUE
DUE IT." (I'iots capa) By this time the
hearers thought, no doubt, they had reached
the bill, and understood the drift of the
Senator's argument. 1t waa the Mississippi
Valley that was made in the beginning,
among other things, and her waste lands
tlat the man and woman were sent out to
srnprE Possibly that thought WAS in the
Senator's mind, but he had not yet got to it.
He had not got to it, and, il his hearers
thought he Ind, they werc very much mis-
taken. There is good deal more
to come before we reach those
waste landa-n we ever reach
them. "Therc is" the eloquent
Senntor next assures u.s. sin

centre, through and around which flows its

We are nlso assured that all those living
things, beside tho centre, which is blood,
have another "centre" which is an s'e1ist-
ence." As the things are alive, We under.
