The Cnttnn Factnrx-

The arrival of the heavy and compica-
ted machinery for the mammoth Cotton
Factory Just being completed in North
Nashville, has created additional interest
and pride In that great home industrial in
stitution. The machinery is of the best
quality. Hundreds of persons have in
spected the machinery since its arrival
here. among whom are connoisseurs in
such matters, and all pronounce it of the
very best quality. 1t is certainly the most
pOnderous ever brought to the Southwest,
as the building is the most extensive of
the kind ever erected south of the Ohio
river. The capital, the energy and the
public spirit exhibited in the construc-
ton of the building, and the procurement of
the machinery within so short space oftime
since the ground for its erection was first
broken, form sufficient guarantee of its
success, and an earnest of its almost untold
usefulness to our State, and, indeed, to
the adjoining States. The machinery will
be speedily removed to the building, and
uE der the skilfull supervision of those who
have come with it, will be put up in full
completeness early in March. Since tie
building WAS first commenced, property
and lots Immediately adjacent have in
creased vastly in value, and are still in
creasing. This of itself is an unmistaka-
bic indication Of the value of the estab-
lishment, to say nothing Of the benefits of
steady and remunerative employment to
hundreds of hands, and the consumption
here at home of Southern commodity
that has hitherto found market outlets
abroad. By next season the factory will be
in full operation, and one of the most i'm
portant steps to our ultimate manUfactur-
ing greatness will have been taken.

ATTEMPT TO RAISE THE WIND.
Business Man Requested to Cash
q FORCED Check

On Tuesday night last a negro boy, in
appearance about nineteen years Of age,
! entered the drug store of Richards & Cor
don, and approaching Mr.. Gordon, handed
him the following note:
FEB. IA, 1S71.-Messrs. Richards &
Gordon: You will confer favor by cash
ing this check for me.
With respect, A. AKERs, CTk
Accompanying the note was check,
No. 1924, drawn on the Fourth National
Bank for S38, with the signature of Ihos
Caldwell attached
Mr.. Gordon questioned The negro close
~, when he was told that the note had
been sent by some young man at
the Maxwell House who was unknown to
him. Mr.. G0rdon's suspicious were at
once aroused, and he told the negro that
his money was deposited, and he could not
accommodate the person who had address
ed him, and the negro departed, Mr.. Cor
don, however, retaining the note as above.
Yesterday morning, upon inquiry, Mr..
Gordon Rscertained that Mr.. Akers in the
first place had not written any such note,
and IN the second place, that the check
was forgery. When such sharp tricks
are attempted to be prsctIced, it is well
enough for our citizens to be on their
guard.

Sad. Sad. SadI

Tuesday morning might have been
seen, on West Church street, sight such
as would make angels weep, and even the
heart Of wicked man, sorrowful and sad.
Lying PROSTATE in the mud and snow was
young woman, scarcely out Of her limo
cent giIlhood, stiffened with exposure and
Supplied with hell's king of curses-whis-
Ky. She was fair, even beautiful in feature,
and her flowing hair made net work filed
with mud, and herfaee bore pale chastity
look from the horrors of the night, and the
abuses of beastly men. Alas, alas. Why
is it that we behold upon every hand so
much deep-dOwn wretchedness, among the
members of the human family? But why
should we ask, as it is too common with
us with such affected innocence, why
so much misery Is not the great drama
Of human destruction enacted before our
eyes every day we live-the spectre-pano-
rama of ruined souls continually unraveling
to our gaze, new horrors? and we all know
the cause, but too well. Heaven knows
1t, and weeps; hell knows it, and laughs;
man knows it, and turns his f4ce-cailOus;
1t has come to be majority, and rules;
and God knows, s1d too many poor hu-
man wretChes know, the powers Of its
soul-cursing rule.

Cotton seed,

A few years since the article Of cotton
seed was regarded a. the gin house where
the tibrous staple was prepared for the
general market as only 50 much waste, or
gtleast possessing value only 50 far as their
fsrtilizing qualities were concerned Since
then, however, they have become an an
nual commercial commodity possessing
their intrinsic value. They are ia regular
and constant demand, and no excuse tx
lists for not preserving them and putting
them on the market Besides their worth
for planting purposes, their Oleeginous
qualities have become thoroughly under
stood and appreciated. There are several
establishments in the State for the manufac
ture of oil from the cotton seed. There is
one in this city that consumes large guam
titles. There is q good demand for them
in our markets at the present time.

INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.

Success of the Finance Committee
| The success of the proposed Industrial
Exposition to come off in May next, NAV
be already settled as fixed fact and fore
gone conclusion. It was conceived IN the
night spirit, and it is being pushed forward
with mastery activity by men of unquail-
ing energies, and liberal and elevated
ideas, in whose business lexicon the word
fail cannot be found. The location, and
plan and specifications of the building have
been decided upon, and it will be erected
on scale Of magnifcence of finish and ca
paclty Of design commensurate with the
tone and spirit of the people of our State,
and their vast and varied productions that
VIII be brought together at this great in
dustrial laboratory.
The success of the building and of the
Exposition has been placed beyond the
contingency Of a doubt. We recsntly
stated that Finance Committee
had been appointed to solicit funds
and contributions toward the enterprise,
This committee, which is composed
of influential and energetic gentlemen,
have been calling on our citizens during
the last few days, and they are meeting
with the most gratifying success. The
people, merchants, bankers, manufactur-
ers, professional men, and all classes, are
responding readily and literally. The will
lingness, the almost eager avidity with
which they contribute, snrpasses the most
sanguine expectations of the committee,
high as were their hopes, naturally in
spired by the liberality and public spirit of
the people Of Nashville. The committee
are deeply encouraged. They alre 'dy
have tangible evidences that our people
have taken hold Of the matter in the right
spirit.
Those who contribute to the enterprise
may rest assured that they will witness a
grand Exposition in May, that in magni-
tude, interest and variety will not be sur
passed by similar exhibitions in any of the
States, and they may also be sure that
they are giving their funds to an enter
prize that will in the end highly benefit
themselves

1t is truly wonderful and marvellous to
contemplate with what wonderful rapidity
the business of insurance, fire, life, acct
dent, etc, has developed itself during the
last few years. Il originated almost with
the present generation, and within the
memories Of those who are still young men
1t was in its first incipiency. Yet, within
a few years, by the appliance of capital
and the exercise of unbounded energies
and sagacious talent, it has grown, de-
veloped and expanded into one of the
largest and most extensive pursuits in the
country. There is scarcely any branch Of
business that has invested more capital,
more enterprise and more talent, than has
thst of insurance. Here in Nashville very
many Of the most responsible companies
of the world are represented, and repre-
sented, too, by liberal, energetic, high

capital and the business tact employed in
it's expansion and development.
