PANY.-At the suggestion, and with the
energy, of Mr. John Green, of our Coun-
ty, this company has been organized aud
chartered by the Legislature of this
State, for the purpose Of manufacturing
cotton into yarns, domcstics, prints, &C.
Under the supervision of Mr.. Green, q
cotton factory has been erected within n
few miles of our village. We learn that
the machinery for this factory has ar
rived. and that the maohinists are now
opening and placing it in position, and
in a short time tho hnmming spindles
will be at work. We think Mr.. Green
wise, and he we'll deserves the laudation
of our community for his zeal and
energy in this matter, for ho knew we
needed factory for turning our great
-cotton-into yarns aid domes-
tics. He knew well that it was Just as
important to manufacture our own yarns
and domestics rs it is fer the farmers to
raise their own supplies.
We think it the duty Of our people to
engage in the manufacture of cotton
more extensively, as measure of eco
nomy, and to assist the development of
industry in the country; and unless our
people become moro fully nlive to the
advantages and importance Of establish
ing cotton factories at home, all the
money must GO somewhere else to pur-
chase goods manufactured out of our
cotton, which We could manufacture our
selves, as Mr.. Green will do in short
time. and keep the money here ut home.
changing hands all the time. Look at
tho enormous per ccntage We are paying,
in the way of freights. which we could
save, on the articleu we could mauufac-
I'm Qt homo md tho -
this per centage, for we cannot do it in
any other way, is only by building up
cotton factories. This is the foundation
upon which rests all our prosperity.
We have been quite anxious for some
time to see factory of some kind reared
up in our Immediate vicinity, as wo need
one here to infuse new life and energy
into our people. We hope it may caim
the attention of our people, and cause
them at once to place their shoulders to
the wheel and turn it in the direction
toward what our greatness and prosperi-
ty would be, If we would but use all the
.leans at our command, and do what we
consider orr duty, to build up factory,
and advance the materiul interest of our
village.
Now, WHO will follow tho example Of
MIR. Green, and lend Off in this matter?
Arc there none around us who will benc-
lit themselves and the community bv
giving this matter their attention an,
active effort, and urge upon his friend
and neighbor the Importance Of this
matter. SO that They might act in unity
and with persistent efforts to cause a
complete harmony upon this great move

POLITICAL USES OF THE Posr OFFICE
1t seems that new uso has been found
for tho i st Office in advertising political
meetings. In the Now York post Office,
last week, on the morning of the day
upon which the recent Grant Republican,
meeting was held, cards. postage unpaid,
were found placed in every one of the
numerous private boxes of business mon,
advising them 'To remember tho Grant
meeting at Cooper Institute this even
ing" and announcing that admission
would be free. The newspapers gene
rally are commenting upon this new de-
vice, and the tendency that exists to turn
the whole machinery OF tile Government,
down to it's very minutest details, into
the channel OF party usage. Much Of
the force of tho objection, however, is
PROBABLY taken away from the circum-
stance by the disclaimer of the New
York postmaster, who says, in card to
the papers OF that city, that it was the
result of ''misapprehension on the
part OF the official in charge of the Office
at the time; that the stamp Office was
closed when the cards were received, but
that the amount of postage was charged
to the firm which deposited them.
