amount to over $4,000, which is fully

MANUFACTURERS Only a few years
ago, Fall River, Mass, was q mere
village, and was scarce even an acorn
compared with such tall oaks as Lowell,
Lynn and other cities. What it is now
may be gathered from correspondent
of the New York Tribune, vino writes:
"Fall River seems to be the most rapid
ly-growing city in New England. Dur
ing the past year its population has iu-
creased nearly 1000, while its cotton
mills. for some years past its specially,
have augmented in proportion. It is
now the City Of Spindles, having robbed
Lowell of that honor by the extraordi-
nary extent Of its manufactures and the
enterprise Of its Inhabitants. Fall River
has now in operation thirty mills, oon-
tanning about 1,10O. 900 spindles, repre-
senting some S25. 900, 900 Of capital, and
employing about $4,000 operatives. The
success of the mills there has been al.
most unprecedented, as may be inferred
from the prevailing price of the shares. "
Let this be lesson and an example as
to manufacturing, and enterprise, and
industry, to all the the cities and towns
IN the Southern country.

Absurd and Untrue.

In noticing the close OF the arduous
labors Of the Legislature. after three
months session, our Radical cotempo-
rary over the way finds much to oom-
mend in it's industry, its fidelity to its
promises Of reform, and in its magma
nimity towards political opponents. As
to the first point, We have no doubt that
all OF value that has been done could
have easily been done in two weeks.
The praise for economy OF time, for in
dustry, for large results Of their labor, is
wholls nndeserved. What reforms have
been secured to tho people IN compliance
with pledges, We are entirely unable to
discern. AS to the third transcendant
merit, of mild and generous treatment
towards those who stand in opposition,
we venture to say no sharpness OF vision
in any person on the one side or The
other can possibly discern it.
The journal mentioned tells US that
the opposition has had an equal share
with the Radicals themselves in the dis

DEAD.-Mr. Theobald Fehrbach, who
WAS found some days since in cabin
on the Georgia side OF the Savannah
River, few miles below the city, with
his throat cut, died at the City Hospital
Monday morning. It will be recollected
by our readers that he stated he was
assaulted by some party or parties to
him unknown. several days previous to
the time he was found in the cabin, and
his throat cut from ear TO ear. The
injury was too great for him to recover
from, and after lingering many days in
that remarkable state, with his throat
cut across and his windpipe severed,
nature succumbed at last. and he died

a LADY RECEIVES S95, 1000 IN MONEY
FROM THE GOVERNMENT the
late war, citizen of Savannah, named
Mcdaniel, purchased large amount of
cotton and stored it in or near that city.
When Savannah was taken possession OF
by the Ynnkces. this cotton was taken in
the name of the Government OF the
United States, and confiscatcd. Before
and during the war, Mr.. Mcdaniel was
man In aihuent circumstances, but, like
thousands of others, tho close of the war
found him reduced to poverty. Since
then he has died, and his widow has been
making her own living by personal exer-
tions. She came to this city, where she
has earned support principally by her
needle, and has never murmurcd at her
lot. BY advice, she was induced to pnt
in claim at Washington for the cotton
belonging to her husband. The SER
vices of lawyers at the seat Of Goysrn-
meut were procured to prosecute the
claim. Mrs. Mcdaniel did not sit down
and await the issue OF tho suit, but, as
stated above. went to work to earn an
honest living. Some days ago, her law
yers ut Washington telegraphed for her
TO come on and get the money, as the
claim had been granted. She immedi-
ate!y repaired to that city, and on yes
terday, we learn, returned to Atlanta,
bringing S95. 900 in greenbacks.
