nearly cTc::y paper in the State; the .
meeting this morning being very
gratifying alike to the older members !:
who have held to it to the present /;
time, as well as to the newer who have !
but lately cotae iu.- The day has been
replcte with pleasure, and the first Oh
tie programme this morning was
drill in front Of the MauSiun House,
by Capt. PatTicE's Company Of Cadets;
this WAS splendid exhibition and re-
fectcd great credit upon this superior
officer aud tvacher-it was given it
honor of the Association. Next fol-
lowed the Calistheric exercises Of the
Female College, which were highly
interesting. Would that ali Of our
Female institutions OF learning wculd
introduce this pleasing and hcalthful
feature iuto their regular course Of
training. At ten our meeting. and
at four aud q half: but Of this VIC refer
to the minutes, which will be publish

meut to visit the Canperd own Yarn
Factory afforded much interest ald
profit. This enterprise is highly sue
cesSfuI and is rcwarding the energy Of
it's projectors. We learn that the
capital invested is Si60, 900, and that
the profits for six months Was Sll,-
7O0-p1ctty good for Camperdown.
Why can't We have more Factories.
The most serious objection to them is
The uumber Of paIe-face operatives

fpi ride-bau.ing dust-mixe& with
lemonade [not the dust) for the alb

lager, generously furnished by DR..
Marshall, to accommodate other tastes.
The latter were lightly toached. 1T
night the Greepyilic Female Cvl!2ge
Commencement attracted ali Of the
young, un;ried and untcrr!fed me!!-
bers to tie Opera House, while the
older ones remained at home to nurse
their weary frames and rccuperate FOR
the work Of the loorrow. On the
Commencement programme we notice
the name Of one Of Nevberrg's fair
daughters, Miss Emma L. Werts,
whose subject Was Power Of Music.
The Press is largely indebted to the
Chamber Of Commerce for the use IF
their elegant rooms, which were thrown
open for its accommodation, and to
Mr. Wm. Bcattie, its President, Col.
I. +. Hunt and others of the Board of
Directors. for constant courtesies, and
to the ladies, bless them, who decora
ted them 50 beautifully.
THE SECOND DAYS OVATION.
There was much of pleasure crowd
ed Into yesterday, Friday, conspicuous
Iy of which was the excursion to Pied
mont Cotton Factory, for which we
were indebted to the G. & 9. Z r.
authorities and to Col. Hammett, the
President. Piedmont is larger, we
might say huser, than We anticipated,
but the cnterprisiug and iar-secing
men who are at the head, seeing larger
returns ahead intend 10 aad will soon
increase its size over double. 1t
present its capacity is l0,G74 spindles,
with $50 operatives, 7ith daily 1900
yards of cloth and 10000 lbs. Of yarn:
and its yearly pay roll is $4,000.
TO accommodate the operatives there
are 70 cottages neatly arranged and
comfortable, which will soon be iu-
creased to double tile number, many
buildings now being in course Of con-
struction. The increase ia size of Pied
mont will give building larger than
the present one, with power Of r.
$50 spindles, giving 4 productive
power, of course. oyer twice that at
present. Urecnvi!ie ard the State
have cause to be proud of Piedmont,
and Of Camperdown, and her various
other enterprises. \ word more and
