COTTON MILLS IN THE soUTH.-One {

COTTON MILLS IN THE SoUTH.--One OF
the most gratifying evidences of the recu-
perative powers of our people is afforded in
the rapid increase of manufacturing estab
lishments. Senator GORDON, of Georgia,
says that seven cotton mills have been con-
structed Ia the South during the past year,
and that as a rule their machinery is OF the
latest and most improved patterns, built
with the certain knowledge Chat the South
in manufactures must compete with the skill
and experience of the East and England
He also says that the mills of the South have
been generally successful. and the errors and
want of experience of the past will doubtless
be corrected 10 the future.
