latest News From Germany.

Corpus Christi Processions.-In some
places within the Prussisn dominions the
professions for the feast Of Corpus Christi
and during the octave, which had been an
nually celebrated for centuries, were pro-
hibised. The same ground could not be
taken with regard to these professions
which bad been put forward for prohibiting
the Jubilee professions, viz, that those pro
cessions only were legal which were Of an
cient and traditional usage. So the au-
thorities in some places said they were
likely to endanger the public peace, and 10
others they contented themselves with pro
hibiting them 4" on account of the puo'ic
interest,"" leaving every one free to inter
pret the "public interest " as he Wishes.
10 several citiea, however, the processlons
took place; and all the reports describe
them as being much more pumerously at
in AK la. Chapelle, in Cologne, in Bresiau
the second largest city in the Prussian
dominions, where it was remarked with
dissa atisfaction that the soldiers did not
present arms as usual when the Blessed
Sacrament passed. At Mayence the General
(Boyer) commanding the fortress assisted
himself, and caused detachments of troops
to open and close the procession, and form
a guard of honor around the Blessed Sacra-
ment. At WuTzburg an extraordinary con =
course took part in the procession. AT
Munich the absence of tue King and OF any
member of the royal family representing
him was noted but it was presumed that
the explanation lay in the fact that two
sudden deaths have occurred in the roy al
family during the last few weeks.

Cotton Factory.
Mobile Register |

Some hundred ears ago there was sol pc
talk in Mobile about having cotton factor as.
1t was concluded, however, that we were po
far from the raw material, and 1t Rs
cheaper to buy ready made shirts frf IA
New York. Since then there have be en
spasmodic attempts on the part of visid p
ary young men to interest the public m ID
in the matter of manufacturing cotton, pt
the sterling common sense of our moneyPd
men has invariably frowned upon such vi ID
adventures. In Georgia, at Augusta, the
people are not so conservative as at MO-
bile. They have risked much money upon
those Yankee Inventions known as cotton
factories, and singular to relate, instead of
being defrauded out of their Investments,
they have actually accumulated money.
In order that our people may understand
the strange intatuation which has seized
upon the good people Of Augusta and the
wild recklessness with which they have
flung their bard gained earnings inte the
spindles and wheels Cf cotton factories,
we propose To sketch the history OF the
doomed enterprise which is now attracting
general attention.
July /, 1858, thirteen gentlemen, OF
whom President jackson was one. purchas-
ed the property of the Augusta Manufac-
uring Company (uow known as the Au-
gusta Factory for $40, COO, on a credit OF
ten years, the interest payable semi an
nualy and one tenth of the principal each
year.
They then subscribed and paid in, as a
cash commercial capital, $50 900.
The property stands to day on the com
pany's books at $4,000, and is richly
