Gov. Hammond, ia his address made
at the opening of the Mechanics Insti-
tute, in Charleston, many years ago, de.
monstrated, in his usual exhaustive, ele-
giant and conclusive way; the growing
necessity of the Introduction OF cotton
and other manufactures in the South.
But since that day, we have gone oh
pretty much after theyold fashion, until
the last four or five. years. It is no easy
matter toiinduce ,aa people to change
their pursuits. and hard thing to get
them opt ot the, deep rhts of old custom.
Notwithstanding this, Manufacturing has
forced itself son our attention. and those
who were, wise anongh to sseits claims in
time and act On them, promptly have
reaped golden harvests, and rid them
selves OF thousands Of annoyances which
attach to the old system of things in the
new circumstances Of our condition. We
have given the experience Of the Salnda
Mills. here il oui'neighborhood, and the
=
statistics and reasonings of its proprie-
tors as to the less cost live cents per
pound) of spinning cotton into yarns
South than either in iOld or New. Eng
land. It sis- plain, according to their
view and experience, that We begin
manufacturing here with fve cents ad-
vantage in the pound of cotton over
Northern factories, which yet enrich
their stockholders. decently support
their operatives and educate their chill
dren, and cause the bleak country around
them to bepeopled with thrifty, pros
porous and intelligent population.
From. Saluda We turn to- Grsniteville.
From the reports of the President of the
Graniteville mills In 1868, 1869 and 1870.
we learn that the machinery of the mill
at the expiration OF the war consisted of
9.12O spindles and 837 Iooms-all badly
worn. It's capital was injudioiously in
creased from Sass. 900 to $716, 600. Too
great disparity was thus produced be.
tween the amount Of capital and the
number Of spindies and looms employed.
Notwithstanding this. the exhibit de-
velops the fact that it.: has renewed the
greater part OF the machinery, increased
the spindles TO- "a. 900 and its looms to
$40. and the productive, capacity from
$4,000 to s175;0oO yards per week. be-
sides new dwellings, for operatives and
other improvements. All this has been
done without stopping dividends or as
ssssing the stockholders. In the same
time it has wiped off large debt: In

The Jonesboro' Flag of the 9Th contains
the,sad intelligence that Rev. John Nc
Daniel, whilst on his way to Chucky Vale
Church to fill an appointment, on Sabbath
morning last, whilst crossing the Nola-
chucky river at Mr.. James Hughes farm,
was accidentally drowned.
The following are the particulars: He
was fording the stream, and while near the
centre, his saddle-girth gave way, which
compelled him to dismount in the river.
The water being very swift, it was with
great difficulty he maintained his feet.
Several gentlemen standing on the bank
followed to him and told him to let his
horse go, and they would come to his res
cue. This he did, as the horse had become
almost unmanageable. One of the gen.
tlemen on the bank then procured horse
and rode into the river, and got to within
ten feet of Mr.. Med. when, from some,
cause, he became frightened, and turned
and went out. Mr.. D., seeing this, his
strength failed him, and being overcome
by the rushing waters, was swept down
the river with the current, and was drown
ed-his body disappearing beneath the
waves. The neighbors living near gath
cred in, and after dragging the river bot
tom for several hours, found the remains,
and sent them home for interrment.

General Review OF Spain's Conduct, with
the Condition of Affairs In Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-General Sickles
called at the Department of State to-day,
and was engaged with Secretary Fish for
several hours on the subject Of Spanish
and Cuban affairs. He will leave Wash
ington tO-morsow, and OH Saturday Will be
with President Grant in Philadelphia, and
return to Washington early next week.
Toward the last of the month he will take
passage for Madrid.
THE POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES.
From sources altogether reliable, it is as
certained that the administration has not,
as has been stated, changed its policy on
the Cuban question, but will continue to
act according to the principles heretofore
declared. -,
Namely, that while it will observe strict
neutrality in regard to the difficulties now
existing in the Island of Cuba, it cannot
consent that our merchant vessels shall be
molested in their lawful pursuits, or over
hauled and examined unless they are found
committing some violation of Spanish au-
thority.
ACTION,, DEMANDED.
In accordance with this policy our Gov
eminent has protested against the act of
the Spanish naval officer in boarding and
searching the Florida on the high seas, and
has required the Spanish Government,
l. TO apologize.
>. To disavOw the act of the officer.
3. To punish him.
/. To pay all damages.
That theSpanish Government will meet
the requirements is not doubted. With
regard to the Hornet there will be difficult
ty, or the Congress has been dispatched to
POrt-au-Prince to convey her to an Ameri-
can port. If, as the Spanish Minister al
leges, she has committed breach of our
,l,a 10 olN fn nj
laws and not to thOseof Spain.
While it is true that Sagasta, who is at
the head of the Spanish Ministry is known
to the hostile to the United States, it is also
known that he has no power to do any
harm, as his party in the Cortes is in mi
nority, and would, therefore, OutvOte him
or any policy unfriendly to his country.
