Southern Manufactures.

Scarcely n southern paper comes to
hand without some notice or argument
for the announcement of the estab-
lishmeut of various manufactures in
that section. Georgia has made the
greatest advance in cotton manufac-
manufacture, but other States are fast
initiating it, and there is good pros
pect of a considerable number of cot
ton yarn mills being established the
coming season. These can be started
with moderate expense, within the
reach of home capital. AT the same
time, it affords employment to labor,
demand for residences, and furnishes
new business to the merchant, by
which all classes of industries and
property are improved. The develop
ment of its iron mines Ia also receiving
much attention, and the effort recently
made to open up n European market
for pig iron was sufficiently successful
to warrant the belief that remunera-
tive market can be found there. Ala
bama, Tennessee and Kentucky have
made the greatest advancement in this
branch of manufacture, and the quality
of their ore and iron is such as to give
much promise of the future of southern
iron Industries. This disposition on
the part of the southern people to ill.,
crease their production of manufac-
tured goods, as well as of raw products,
can not fail to have an important in
fiuence upon its prosperity before long.
Instead of one resource-cotton--it is
developing great variety OF resources
upon which IL can rely in case of the
failure of its staple crop. 1t is thus
augmenting its surplus for shipment,
aud decreasing In a still greater ratio
its imports for home consumption of
both food and manufactured goods
