COST OF MANUFACTURING.

A friend, who is at present one of the
officials of leading cotton mill in South
Carolina, writes lis endorsing the correct.
ness of the INTELLIGENCER's position
in reference q the importance and profit
of manufacturing development in cur
State. He gives the following as the
approximate figures Of building and
operating factory upon capital stock
of 100000: 1000 spindles and 1aO
looms, motive power steam, product
standard plain brown / shirtings, 44x4i
gauge, No. IL yarns, to weigh 81 yards
per pound-cost of mill aud appurte.
nances $500 per spindle, or 100000.
This mill will have capacity Of 1922
pounds ofcotton or 8,400 yards of shifting
per day, which ut 81 cents per yard will
give as the daily earnings Of the mill
$4,000.
The cost of operating this mill will be
tor labor in cariing, spinning, warpi ng
and weaving 2i cents per pound, or $56.7+
per day; for salaries, supplies, fuel,
insurance, other labor, drayage &C., II
cents per pound, or $44.l3 per day; for
cotton and waste 1882 pounds at OF cents
per pound, or s266.5s per day, SO that
the total daily cost Of operating the
mill would be S967.45, which, taken from
$4,000 the daily product, gives $94.55 as
the daily profit of the mill. Taking the
working days of the year to be 800, we
have the yearly product to be s2S, ,S65.OO,
which is little over 2ss per cent. on the
capital invested.
This calculation allows the loss OF time
equal to IS days, exclusiyeo Of Sundays,
and gives tho advantage of the average
price of raw cotton to the mill. OF
course in operating mill there will be
more or less unlocked for delays, accidents
and mistakes in judgment as to the pur.
chase of cotton aud the sale of goods, so
that in practice we could not expect to
fully realize these profits, but the figures
coming from one informed as to the
working of q cotton mill chow that our
people could reasonably expect to make
handsome interest, ssy from fifteen to
twenty per cent, on any money they may
invest in cotton factory, Anderson

The New York Hc,1;hI says !:

II affords cause for congratulation that
the South is availinR itself Of the divcrsi-
fled opportunities for prosperity with
which nature endowed it.. Tho New
England mills will he forced, by the
necessities Of tho situation, to surrender
to the South the manufacture Of COARSE
cotton goods almost altogether, ut no
distant day, and bind their attention to
fine fabrics which require more skillml
labor
When we get well established in the
manufacture Of coarse goods we will
turn our attention TO the finer fabrics
also, and in proper time will compete
with or drive New England out Of the
manufacture Of this class Of goods also.
The mills must come to the cotton fields.
and yield the profits Of making up the
raw material to the country which pro-
duccs it. This would have been done
years ago but for the institution of slave
ry, which practically excluded skilled
labor from the South, and rendered our
people Indifferent to all other pursuits
than agriculture. Thus, the abolition of
slavery is destined to bless the Southern
people with a higher and more enduring
prosperity than they could ever have
attained during its existence

The Nems and Curriers' Greenville cor
respondent, "a. ii. H." again asserts
that the validity of the fifty Thousand
| dollars voted as taxes to the Savannah
Valley Railroad is involved in the pend
| ing injunction suit, and says that if the
suit is successful that any taxpayer can
sue and recover back the money he
has paid in. He also reiterates his
statement that the validity of the charter
of the Road il involved in the suit, on
the ground that the Act relates to more
than one subject and is therefore void.
MIR. Howell IN not lawyer, and says
that his information was derived from
the proceeding. in Court and from con.
versation with one of the attorneys.
There is where his trouble comes in. If
he had conversed with the other attorney
he would have obtained both sides, and
been able 10 make more correct report.
1t is impossible for any order in the pend
ing case to do more than affect the un.
paid taxes, which are q small sum-the
plaintiffs representing less than eight
hundred dollars. Neither can any order
in this case affect the validity of the
charter, for II the tax sections should be
declared invalid, the remainder will be
good and sufficient railroad charter,
and ia all that the Company needs hence
forth. Nor is the writer more correct in
asserting that the taxpayers who have
paid in their assessments can recover
them back These assessments we're
voluntarily paid in, and no protest was
entered in any case, therefore we inag-
inc there ID no danger Of suits TO recover
back the sums paid. We have no con.
nectiun with the case, and care nothing
about the statements which may be
made concerning it, except that we do
not intend that erroneous statements
calculated to damage the Road shall go
unchallenged.

The Washington Post, speaking Of
what English capital and enterprise has
accomplished in India, saws:

large rs that now BCCdch in this country
yielding 2i0.0nOM0 bushels, and ns
much more which can be put under tho
pillow. II Is proposed to raise in England
$3.50, 10000 To build railroads in India
Should this project be carried out it would
he u great disaster to tho United States
The principal occupation of the great
Northwest will be gone.
There is little doubt that in time In
dia's valuable territory will be rendered
tributary 10 the commercial world by
the building Of railroads. The popula-
ton, however, Of the world is constantly
increasing, and hence the demand for the
bread stuffs is also growing. There will
probably be some unsett!ing of Western
agriculture when railroad building is ex-
tensive in India. but it will by no means
be destroyed. If railroads could be
opened through every pnrt Of India in n
single senson, the shock would be i'm
mense, but this cannot be done; and
while the roads are being gradually
built the agricultural interests will ad-
just themselves. The opening up OF
India will also give to Europe additional
access to n new source Of cotton supply,
but fortunately for Southern planters
this supply is not of quality equal to
ours, and hence it will not likely affect
us SO seriously. The diversified agricul-
ture Of which the South is susceptible
marks it as the region destined to become
the most important and lourshing por-
tion of the American Union.

The acting president of the bridge trus-

was capable of sustaining weight of

OF which the bridge will have to hear is
estimated at $4,000, so it could be con-
sidered as absolutely safe. Detective

Those "Pauper" Immigrants.

A careful inspection of the 413
Mormon immigrants who arrived
at this port yesterday, proves that
they are neither paupers nor crlml-
nails. They were able to pay about
S35 apiece for transportation to the
west, and those who came from
Switzerland. supposed to be the
nersons to whom Consul Mason re-
ferred in the warning which he
sent to the state department, were
found to be unobjectionable. In
short, while it is unfortunate that
the Mormon communities of Utah
are to be reinforced by so many de-
luded men and women, these per-
sons appear to be as healthy, as up
right, and as well provided with
money and goods as the average I'M
migrant. IEmay be that the pau
pers and depraved persons who are
on the way to this country from
Switzerland, according to Consul
Mason's statements, did not take
passage on the Ne0GdG. We trust
that the emigration officers VIII
keep a sharp lookout for them and
for any other immigrants of thelI
kind. and promptly send back across
the ocean all of this class who snail
undertake to land at this port. Eu
