In another part Of our paper We pub
lsh an account of the strike of the mill
operatives at Fall River, Mass, because
of the reduction Of wages The com
plant Of the manufacturers was the
hard times, the high price OF cotton and
the low price which they obtained for the
manufactured staple. Every effect has
its cause, and with that truism in view. let
us examine the matter little.
Now what has brought about this de
preston in the manufacturing interests
Of New England, and the subsequent
strikes which resulted from such deprcs-
sion? There are too causes; First, the
abolishment of slavery; second, the es
tablshment Of factories in the slave ter,
ritory, as a necessary result of thi. abol-
ishment. Now, Notwithstanding the po,
litical and religious fanaticism of New
England, and her extreme, bitter and un-
relenting hostility to the existence ofsla-
very, her life, heath and strength hnan
cially, depended upon it. Every drop OF
sweat that dropped from the brow Of the
slave in the cotton field. added to the
weight of the purse in their pockets. The
negro was the channel through which
they obtained cheap cotton, and thereby
we're enabled, to make large and usurious
profits on the staple manufactured. The
price Of cotton is twice as much as
before the war, and the goods have not
risen in the same proportion The Con
sequence is reduction in the wages Of
operatives, which never did amount to
a reasonable compensation. and the cat
aiogue of evils that is resulting from
the strikes Now, Notwithstanding but
few men can he found anywhere-save il
/. amons these despotic manufacturers
who want anything more Of slavery, yet
it is none the less true that every financial
i'll that has happened or will happen, for
years to come. to the northern manufac.
turisg interests will be owing to the alb.
sence of the negro-slaye from the cotton
field.
While the abolishncnt of slavery is
lightenin. the plcthoric purses of north
ern manufacturers. it has taught the peo
pie Of the south the necessity OF estab-
fishing msnufactorics among themselves
DO our Yankee friends think this would
have been done if the South had been
left in the peacesble possession OF
its property Their exalted humanita
rianism has resulted in the depletion c.
their pockets, while VIC, who they at
tempted to crush, are growing and be
coming greater every day.

We cannot easily imagine n company of
visitors to our State who could possibly re-
eeve more attention from any part of the
people of the localities through which they
may pass. than the editorial eXcursionists

We have needed the presence of men who

1t is matter Of great pleasure and pride
to us that some Of the eXcurslonists have been
tempted to undergo the tedium of ride on
the stage. by night in order that they might
pass through the western part of our State,
and IN particular our own rich aud beautiful
county. We say we are proud of the honor
cur brethren of the press have conferred
upon us. because we are satisfied that they
would have missed, otherwise. the rich treat
they must have enjoyed in passing through
our county. BY this means they have been
privileged to view one of the most beautiful
and fertile sections of our State and we do
not have shadow Of doubt with respect to
the verdict which their pens will render with
regard to Western Arkansas. A large NUM-
Der OF our citizens called on the party at the
residence Of Mrs England, Sunday evening,
and paid their respects to the visitors. This
act, on the part of our people, filled to over
flowing, our chalice Of happiness. Van Btu

tality and cordiality on similar occasions, and
this she allowed to be no exception to the
general rule.
