SiuDbefS. mules, tWlStefS, eNehW, dc., &c., together with all slie buildings, motive power and op-
 erations to hold, drive and attend
 said discarded machinery. Il
 saves one half the usual waste
 and produces better and stronger
 slivers, raYings and thread, than
 can be made of baled cotton
 thereby enabling opertiyes to at
 tend more machinery, and each
 machine do more work, especially
 in the spinning and weaving
 rooms. The reason why the card
 will do four times more by this process, using the same motive power, is the filaments are not permitted to leave the machinery, fly, or become tangled. but are
 kept straight and carding is but
 the strengthening of the cotton iilament. The extra strength of
 the thread Is owing to the work
 ing of the cotton fresh from the
 seed, the oil of which has kept it
 alive, light, elastic, and flexible,
 with all it's attenuating qualities
 perfect, and to the fact that il
 has never been mapped, cut or
 tangled by the gin, pressed or
 compressed, or permitted to be-
 come dry, seasoned and brittle, in
 this tangled condition, nor has it
 been injured by the willower, lap
 per, double lapper, breakers and
 cards, where the damage done by
 the gin, press and compress, are
 sought to be remedied.
 This small attachment, only 36
 in. long by Is inches square, SUI
 persedes the above mentioned
 light machines, simply because the first three are used to render cotton transportable, and the last five are intended to remedy the damage dcne by the three first. But these advantages, great as they are, are not half that are claimed for the new process. The ginning, seed, bagging and ties, are saved.
 Take a bale of cotton on a farm near Corinth, and see the expen- ses, &c., incurred in sending it via Memphis to Boston, Mass. Hauling to Corinth, sampling, weighing, deduction of , to 1 lbs. from weight, profits of purchaser, freight and insurance to Mem phis, drayage to cotton shed, storage, insurance, deep sampling, commissions for selling, broker age for buying, deep boring and weighing, repairs, drayage to compres compressing, drayage to steamer or depot, freight and insurance to Boston. To all these, add waste, drayage and stealage, all the expenses, specu- lations and peculations of the guerillas of the South, and the great cotton rings of the North, add also the expenses in our sea port towns, where it is recon pressed to be shipped to Europe, the expenses and profits of the shipment, and the expenses after its arrival there, until It is sold to the manufacturer, who buys only the net cotton, not the bag ging and ties, at his own price. For Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, tSc., take the surplus crop of the world, fix and control the price not only there, but in every cot ton mart.
 Europe, China and India, pay gold for cotton, and cotton fabrics from Fall River in Mas sachusetts and other places. The planter gets receipts from his merchant for years supply of provisions, farm tools, &c., and is fortunate if the receipts is in full to date; the negro for his share over and above his scant food and clothes, gets jews harp and ginger cakes. Who gets the in exchange between the nations, the margin of II per cent. between gold and national bank notes? It probably is one of the perquisites of middlemen, except in such instances as Fall River Manufacturing Company.
 Now, if to all these you add the expenses, profits, &c., of the man goods etmned South, you will have some idea of what receive, and what the new process will save to our i'm but still beloved South land. For instance, take eight of the above twenty-five enumerated items of expenses on cotton intran- situ from the field to New Eng land, viz: ginning, $i, bagging and ties, S250, freight to Mem phis, $2, commissions, $l.25, bro >erage, 15 cents, storage 90 cents, :ompressing D cents, freight to Boston, $6 52, total, SIS per bale, which, on 4,200,000 bales amounts to $75, ,600.000. The item of seed IS worth $5 per bale as . fertilizer equal to S2l, ,000, 0,000, and decorti- eating more than double its value.
 Teere can be no competition away from the cotton fields, for seed cotton will not bear trans portation and none other can be saved.
