CIT SHINES FOR ALL"

In September, 1868, the editor of the New
York san wrote Of General Grant as fol-
lows: .a.#rr-
"The personal qualities of Ulysses S.
Grant, like his historical achievements, are
such as to attract and justify the confidence
of the loyel people Of the whole country.
His modesty, his ,disinterestedness, his
magnanimity, his bravery and his patriot
ism may well be held up as models for emu
lation. His fidelity to duty and his firm
ness in trial and in danger, prove that the
Republic will be in safe hands while his
mastery, common sense and unerriDg

COTTON MANUFACTURING All THE
SOUTH. ....

Carefully prepared statistics, show that
cotton can be manufactured in the South
where it grows, at from seventeen to twenty
per cent. less cost, when ready for the mar.
ket, than in the factories of New England.
This saving is made up in the items of trans
portation, the reduction of cotton to net
weight as yarn, in damage to balls, in dirt,
and commissions and profits to middle men.
These would pay for the cost Of the more
careful packing given to yarn, and leave
handsome profit. 1t has been clearly
shown that the items mentioned make
cotton cost the English manufacturer nearly
ten cents per pound in currency more than
the planter receives for it. Weaving is
separate business from spinning, and
requires more skilled labor. To spin,
however, is very simple business. The
South could probably compete with the
English at once in spinning, while in weav-
ing, perhaps, she could not. Yarns are
recognized as separate subject of com
merce, and are regularly quoted in market
reports. Those who have paid no attention
to the subject would be surprised i'll follow
ing American cotton from the plantation to
England, and thence to its final consumption,
to learn how much of it goes from England
as yarns to all quarters of the globe. ar
1t has been demonstrated by experienced
manufacturers that raw cotton is doubled
in value by being converted into yarn.
The English buy our cotton, and send it in
the form of yarn to all parts Of the world
thus realizing profit equal to that of rails
ing tire staple, while their shipping gets the
benefit of double transportation. In
this way English capital and English labor
distribute themselves over the southern
states, and absorb large profits which
ought not to go out of the country, and
which will not go out Of it as soon as the
people of the South wake up to their true
interests. We are now paying ten cents
for single spool English cotton, that ough,
not to cost our people five cents, and would
not were the proper capital, enterprise and
industry embarked in this branch of manu-.
features. -a
The South points with just pride to the
fact that her great staples gives the country
the benefit Of two hundred millions of dol.
lars in gold exchange; but how much
greater would be her boast could she say
by making her cotton into yarn, that she
gave five hundred millions in gold exchang,
instead Of two. With the vast water pow
er which we have here in Richmond, witt
cotton enough brought to our own doors tt
supply millions of spindles daily, the yea
in and the year out, who will be the first Il
embark in an enterprise which offers
profit of from seventeen to twenty pc
cent. in advance of transporting the raw
material North !? ...

THROUGH ROUTE TO NEW YORK.

The energy and go-ahead enterprise of
Col. Thomas Scott, of the Pennsylvania
Central, are proverbial, and he has just given
another evidence of consummate ability
in meeting and mastering obstacles as they
present themselves. The Baltimore and
Potomac railroad which he and the Penn
sylvania Central are now building as q rival
to the Baltimore and Ohio, through line
between New York and Washington soon
to extend to Richmond, was completed
through to Baltimore on Tuesday in novel
and Characteristic manner. The opponents
of the road, having failed in all other ex-
pedients, had determined to get out an in
junction on that day to prevent its pass
age through Baltimore. Their project
became known to the officers of the
company, when all handsome 3O0-were
massed from all along the line, and as soon
as the court adjourned Monday, work was
begun in earnest in constructing the road
and laying the track through the city.
Night setting in they were retarded little,
but the moon soon came out and they went
on the same as ever. AT IL o'clock nearly
half the track was completed, and the men,
tired and hungry from their excessive labor,
pitched into four wagon loads of proyis.
ions that had been brought along,
with fine relish. Work was renew.

the injunction was to have been obtained

This is life of Horace Greeley from his
boyhood up, which, with the previous one
by Parton, will give the public all they
will want to known of the philosopher of
the Tribune" for the next six months at
least. 1t will not in all respects suit the
people of the South, for they want to for
get all they can of Mr.. Greeley before the
close of the late war. The Dispatch al
ready enters its protest against any life of
Greeley that goes back of the Cincinnati

oil, it don't want to think much about it
beforehand. But the volume is really a
